ter.
Our Commissioners seem to have
had very exalted opinion Of their
own business abilities and a very
improper conception Of the size of
Sumner county. Another tendency
of this move is to concentrate the
Pauper trade, and put premium on
corruption by commissions, etc.
The old way scattered the trade and
thereby secured more general dis
trlbution of the profits arising there
from.
1t really looks to US as if the
charge OF peanut politics" which
has been vibrating between Richards
and Savage has recoiled, and is at
present We'll taken by Mayor Savage.
Andy found it necessary to have the
whole system of providing for the
poor changed in order to inhict pun
lshment upon Savage and like good
fellows, the Board did it for him.

Speaking Of the attendance at the
Republican League last week, our
neighbor, Andy, says:
although many ofthe boys who
have heretofore obtained passes
from the railroads without difficulty
have been denied the privilege Of
placing their autographs on the back
of the coveted pasteboard this year,
yet the attendance was large and
very generally distributed over the
state"
What is the matter now? The
state has been redeemed, the legisla-
ture adjourned without injuring rail-
road interests, can it be that the
railroads have no further use for
their small-try allies? This is indeed
ungrateful. Wait till campaign year
boys! paSteboard will be cheap then.

0YerSeerS Of The Poor.

The action OF the Board of County
Commissioners in taking the work OF
looking after the poor out of the
hands or those who have been
accustomed to handling it, and asum-
ing those duties themselves, individ-
ually, has a more tar-reaching effect
than we had at first supposed, and
we more than ever doubt the wis
dom Of it. Our impression was that
it only had the effect of depriving
the mayor Of Wellington from exer-
ciSing that function, but it goes fur
Their than that.
Before the advent of the poor
commissioner in this county, which
was abolished four years ago, and
since that time, the duty of looking
after the temporary poor in each
township was performed by the
township trustees and mayors and
city councils of cities. The law
making these officials overseers OF
the poor is an old one, reaching back
to times when their were but few
poor farms, and when circumstances
and conditions were different. By
reason of this fact it does not apply
to all contingencies at the present
time, but in the absence of better
provisions, these officials have been
carrying on this work more from the
significance Of the title "Overseer OF
the poor" than from any provision
of the law itself. This action of the
board takes this work all out OF the
hands Of these officials and each
member of the board acts for his
entire district. There is no more
warrant of law for the one than the
other.
Andy Richards urges in behalf Of
this action Of the board that there
have been many impositions upon
the board heretofore, by unworthy
poor, and that this move is an efforl
to put stop to it. The VOICE ha:
no desire TO discredit the motives o.
the board, but we are unable to see
where they are going to be able to
judge of who is worthy" any more
accurately than the township trustees

The sentiments expressed by the
VOICE on the Talbot trial last week
have met very general approval
among the people. Men of all par
ties concede that it was a useless
expense, and condemn the men who
had hand lit. Such fee grabbing
enterprises will not be tolerated by
the overburdened people of the
county without a protest. Many
think the VOICE was not strong
enough in its condemnation Of the
outrage. We have no desire to be
unnecessarily severe. The people
have the facts. 1t lies within their
power to supply the severity in fut-
ure elections.

We notice in the official list Of
Populist papers in Kansas the
Prison Trusty put down as an accred-
tied organ Of that party. With the
retirement of Warden Chase The
Trusty is liable to die a sudden, not
to say violent, death. Penitentiary
convicts have no business running
political newspapers.-The Monitor
Press.
Such ignorance is inaccessible
from a Kansas newspaper man.
The Prison Trusty is not printed or
published by convict nor within
the wall of the state prison. 1t is
published at the little town of Ian
sing, whose population is composed
largely of prison employees. Its
editor, G. W. Peters, is a pleasant,
afable, law-abiding citizen, hand
somer and more intelligent than the
editor of the Monitor Press. But
the readers Of the Monitor.Press
will never be any the wiser, unless
they read this in the VOICE.

Ex- United States Senator Tohn
Martin says that he has given up all
partisan politics and will now devote
his attention to uniting the people Of
all parties on the silver question.
He says that is now the one great
issue, and it is simply question Of
the West and South against the East
and there must be a union of the
men OF all parties in order to accom-
.plish the desired result. Senator
Martin said he found out one thing
to his satisfaction during his term in
the senate, and that is that the east
ern Republicans and Democrats are
the same, and that they work to-
gether on all questions of import
ance. "The eastern dudes" says he,
care fast dragging this government
into monarchy, and l firmly be-
lieve this is their object. There
must be throwing aside of all par
tisanShip to prevent this and the time
is ripe to do so. l intend to labor
for that end"

The Topeka Journal of the 25th
contains column article under
flaming headlines charging that one
of the state officers "made a shock
ing spectacle of himself in Topeka
on Kansas avenue in broad day
light" by appearing in a beastly
state Of intoxication, staggering from
one side Of the pavement to the
other. A Kansas City newspaper
correspondent met him and tried to
get him onto a street car, but he was
too drunk to get aboard. 1t is un-
derstood that the official referred to
was the state treasurer, Otis L. Ath-
erton. He has since come out in a
denial, but the Journals evidence
seems to be conclusive. Under the
Kansas laws drunkenness is sufficient
cause for the removal Of any state OF
county officer either elective or ap-
pointive if it is positively proven
that the officer was drunk. The
Journal challenges an investigation.

The Insurance Tax.

City Clerk Martin recently for
warded an tented report of the
fixtures of the fire department 10
state superintendent of insurance.
Geo. I. Anthony. This report is sent
IL according TO TIL law concerning
the revenue tax to be collected from
certain insurance companies of the
state. The law states that insurance
companies doing business in the state
shall pay an annual tax of 2 per cent
on their gross income which tax shall
be collected by the state superintend.
ent insurance and distributed by him
to the cities in the state which are
maintaining fire department valued
at $1,000 or more. The idea is that
the insurance companies OF the state
receive enough benefit from the SER
vice OF the fire departments to COM
pensate for the tax imposed.
We presu ne Wellington will receive
her apportiOnment of this tax, as our
fire department cost 1880 and It's
present valuation is placed at about
$1,000. No disbursement of the tax
has yet been made by the state super
intendent Of insurance. The law
specifies that the taA shall be used
for the benefit OF the disabled mem.
bers of the several fire departments.
This act became law on March 20
1895. Mail.
The legal luminary of the Mail
has in times past expounded the law
quite profusely TO the people, and
with some degree of accuracy, but
in the above he has erred. This
law is not a new one. 1t is an old
one, but it never was put in force
until the PopulistS went into power.
Insurance Commissioner Snyder
went after them and compelled them
to come down with $4,000 to cover
the tax back as far as the statutes of
limitation would allow. And this is
the money that is now to be appor-
toned. The city Of Wellington will
get something like 5000 or $500 oft,
for which she is indebted to the
superior diligence Of Populist of.
fcials over the so-called "redeemer"
