We were very much surprised, not
to say shocked, to find In the Indus
trial Advocate, organ of the peoples
party in Butler county, published at
EldOradO by cx-State Treasurer Biddle
prominent Methodist, and edited
by Rev. ]. D. Botkin, ex-elder and
ex-pr0hibitiOnist, an advertisement of
the notorious Henry Schnitzler. one
OF the worst outlaws in the whisky
business, who has done more than any
other one party to defy the law and
cause the state OF turmoil and litiga-
tiOn in Wichita. Perhaps business
is business, but we would like to see
pure and undetlled religion have a
show in the house of its protested
friends.-Western Methodist.
We publish the above article in
full to show that even Brother Star
is willing, to conceal the truth and
almost perpetrate a falsehood in
order to stab Brother Botkin. Bro.
Star is lifelong newspaper man;

could tell at glance that the Ad-
vocate management was no more
responsible for the Schnitzler ad.

the editor Of the Western Methodist
himself. The ad appeared on the
ready'print side of this paper, which
is printed by the Western Newspa-

appeared in every "patent" sent out
from that house that week, with the
possible exception of the Western
Methodist; it may have appeared in
that; we haven't copy at hand to
refer to. We noticed it in our paper
before We issued, but we couldn't
help ourselves. However, we sent
peremptory order to discontinue
the "hop tea" ad. We are person.

papers. We think that Bro. Star
ought certainly to at least make an
explanation in his next issue. All us

think We ought to suffer just because
you want to get whack at Botkin.
We haven't gotten over feeling sore
at the W. N. U. for betraying its
patrons that way.-Geuda Springs
Herald.
The above is about the size of the
calibre of the Christianity Of that
man Star. He is more of a Repub-
llcan than he is a Christian and
would condemn all Christians to hell
unless they smothered their con-
science, stultifed their intelligence
and voted the Republican ticket.

Shall the Church Use Wine,

New York, Sept. 2S.-All New York
talked today of Charles A. Dana's
double loaded editorial in this morn
ing's Sun calling for the arrest of DR..
Parkhurst for preparing to give away
wine in administering the holy CON-
muDiOn tomorrow. The editorial is
as follows: "The provisions OF the
law about wine on Sunday are definite
and positive. ANY person who shall
sell or offer or expose for sale or give
away any spirituOus liquor, wine, ale
or beer on Sunday shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.' We invite the atten-
tion Of the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
and his associates to the provision
and we notify them that the Rev.
Charles H. Parkhurst. pastor Of the
Madison Square Presbyterian church,
is preparing to administer the holy
communion to the communicates OF
that church. In his so doing it is his
intention on Sunday to give away to
the communicates the wine which
constitutes a necessary element in
that religious ceremony. Therefore,
ought not Mr.. Roosevelt and his COL
leagues and all the police Of the city
to understand that DR.. Parkhurst
proposes to do that which the law for
bids and by reason Of which the law
declares he shall be guilty Of mis-
demeanor?' Ought not Mr.. Roose-
welt and his associates to enforce the
law in the case Of DR.. Parkhurst, and
all other clergymen who perform the
same right in apparent cOntraventiOn
Of the statute? 1t is not question
whether the law is wise or useful or
worthy Of applause. The only ques-
is, is 1t not the law? If the law is
always to be enforced should it not be
enforced impartially and with equal
severity upon all its violators?"
When the editorial was shown to
DR.. Parkhurst he said that he was too
busy To reply to it today, but would
probably have something to say on the
subject at a later date.

Secretary HOke Smith has rendered
an important decision regarding rail-
road right-of-way. The road affected
is the Montana Railway Company
This company applied for right-of-
way over public lands under the act
Of 1875, making such grants. This
act provided that the road should che
completed within five years after the
map Of location was filed. The Mon.
tana Company did not complete its
road in that time, but subsequently
offered the maps Of location. The
commissioner Of the general land
Office recommends that the MAPS be
not approved because the road was
not completed within five years after
the first map Of location was fled.
The secretary says there is no reason
why the company should be denied
the right to file new map Of location
even after the expiration Of five
years, the new map to operate upon
such lands as are free from claim.
He therefore approves the new maps
for the Montana Railway Company.

ROUGH on CONTRACTORS.

Architect White does not have q very
high opinion Of building contractors.
In his testimony before the Investigating
committee Mr.. White said: ''T'nrrc is
no building anywhere if you uncovrr it
where the contractor does not yet the
best OF the superintendent unless YOU
are there all the time" This is a severe
and sweeping dcnunciation of a class; no
exception being made. The gentleman
has had experience and should know
whereof he speaks, but isn't it possible
that though the charge waB general il
was intended to apply to the specific
case under consideration.
While on this subject Of Mr.. Whites
testimony there is a little point to which
We wish to call attention. In the origin
al specifications, as submitted to the
board. provision was made for n founda
ton which the nrchitcct said was suli
cIrnt for the structure and the cost Of
which was included in the 100000 Is
tlmhtr. Ia his testimony he says that
certain changes were made in the spcci
i%"Htions, among them the insertion Of "a
CLAUSE ''giving the board the right to
advertise for bids, If an extra foundation
was found nrcrssary.' He had already
stated that his plan Of foundation was
sufficient. and it Seems a little curious
that such IA clause should have been
inserted. Mr.. White does not say why
or at whose suggestion the change was
made. Probably at itsncxt meeting the
board viii throw some light on the
subject.

ElSALLY kNOCk ED OUT.

The coupon clippers AID rent col

similar law was enacted. and it was on

gentlemen who composed the supreme
court at that time saw through differ
emit glasses and ruled that it Vas in the
power Of congress to make such a law
and Of the administrative officers to en-
force it. The reversal OF that decision
to say the least, will not tend to increase
the respect in which the highest tribunal
in the land ia held. However, it is just

While are falling off and the

alarming degree Secretary Carlisle has
taken the stump for the purpose of Civ
ing the people lessons on finance. His
opening speech was made at Covington,
KY, and though it was lengthy it con
tanned nothing new in the shape of "A
reason why there should continue to be
a gold standard in this country. The
hdlch stand taken by the secretary
was, however, "A source Of modification
and surprise to many of his friends, for
while in congress Mr.. Carlisle was an
avoWcd silver man. II is his privilege
to change his mind, but that he should
have done SO at the dictation of Grover
Cleveland is painful. Worse than chang
ing bis mind, and the one notable and
disrcputabIc feature Of his speech, was
his deliberate misrepresentation Of facts
in regard TO the passage Of the bill de

II picc" Of trick legislation and that most
OF t,oFn who voted for il declared they
did not know what they were doing and
that President Grant had said that had

In spite Of This Mr.. Carlisle stated in
his effort to justify the act that many

that they did SO with Il fun knowledge

upon that portion of the speech Allen

actor have held a meeting with the state
board appointed by Gov. Richards. The
meeting was for the purpose of arrang-
ing a plan OF action that was satisfactory
to both sides and would be conducive to
the best results. The proceedings were
of a most harmonious character, the gov
eminent representatives evincing a dis
position to accept the aid OF the state
commissioners in the spirit in which it is
rendered and avail itself OF any advice
and suggestions. The sentiments which
prevailed at the conference are best ex
pressed by Mr.. Barnes, one of the United
States commissioners, who at it's close
said:
"After today's conference ! don't an
ticipate any difficulty in the outset of
the work Of classification. The state
commissioners say they want tho North

to it the agricultural lands. 70 the

Where are We at and what are we com
ing to: The aupreme court income tax
decision knocked tho treasury out of
about %$JO,OOO,0OO of anticipated revrnue
that WI know Of. This was Il sad blow
to the administration and may yet force
it to resort to drastic measures to mako
good the deficit. 1T now appears that
the result of the decision WAS moro far
reaching than tho court intended. a
cute lawyer in Tennessee has been look
ing over the majority opinion with d
professional eye and has come to the
conclusion that if the law, as expounded
by the learned judges as applicable to
rents, etc, be correct in principle, it fol-
lows as the night follows day that the
evenue tax on whiskey, tobacco and
other articles is equally unconstitutional.
The lawyer in question gives the reasons
for the belief that is in him and will no
doubt be ready to prove his position to
the satisfaction OF the court if h%esecures
the distlllerB and tobacco manufacturers
HIS clients. This is a pretty kettle of fish.
Suppose the two great interests named
refuse to further pay revenue taxes what
will become OF the government: Whore
will Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle and
the judges and Mr.. Lyman and Jerry
Collins get their salaries? The situation
is alarming and will DO intensified when
some other lawyer discovers and proves
that congress has nc power to pass any
laws the supreme " is bound to re-
spect.
1t is true the Tennessee gentleman ad-
mitH that we can tax imports oven
higher than Mr.. Mckinley dared to tax
them, but if that be done the editors
will cease drinking wine and smoking
imported cigare and their wives will es-
chew diamonds and laces and silk dresses
and there will be a woful falling Off in
duties. However, the outlook is blue
enough as it is; lot us wait until tho dis
tillers and tobacco men take advantage
OF the decision before we borrow any
trouble. We will cross that bridge when
we come to it.
