CROoKEDNEss WITH BONDS
A swindIing PopuIIst Deal just Comes


A Swindling PopuIIst Deal just Comes to
Light
A shady bond deal was worked through
the Populist school fund commissioners
during the closing days of the Lewelling
administration which enriched the men
who negotiated the deal to the amount
of about $4,000 and probably more.
On the 28th of last Decem ber the Pop
uiist board purchased $4,000 of Atchi-
son city refunding bonds at par. The
bonds are probably worth 90 cents on the
dollar on the market, certainly not much
more than that Who engineered this
deal through remains mystery. There
seems 10 be no way of ascertaining this
fact
The records of the state treasurer show
that the First National bank of Topeka
after the deal with the Populist board
had been made delivered the bonds to
that official and received the $4,000 in
cash.
Cashier Henderson at the bank was
seen by STATE JOURNAL reporter and
asked who placed the bonds with the
bank aud he had no means of telling, as
no record is made. by the bank of such
transactions

DULUTH. Mimi, Aug. 13.-The News
Tribune this morning published an in
terview with Secretary of the Treasury
Carlisle. The reporter said to Mr.. Car
Isle:
Justice Field has expressed to a re-
porter the opinion that you can have the
place left vacant by the death of Justice
jackson, but he admits it will necessitate
the abandonment of your presidential as
pirations"
at would be indelicate for me to dis
cuss the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Justice Jackson at this time," re-
marked Mr.. Carlisle. except in SO far as
to allude to that portion of Justice
Fields remarks which credit me as a
presidential aspirant.
at seems to me as if a mans word
should go for something" he said some
what testify, but it does not seem to with
some people. l have denied that I have
any presidential aspirations, and it is
scarcely necessary to deny it again"

PEFFER's TWIN EVILS.

They Are Interest and Rent-Wants
Money Founded Land Values.
EMPoRIA, Kas., Aug. Ex-senator Pef-
fer has written letter to j. D. Holden
of this city in which he comes out
strongly in favor Of currency based upon
land values alone. He has discarded
silver and the sub-treasury plan and
writes that he believes the chief trouble
with the country is interest and its twin
evil, rent,
He calls attention to the fact that the
average rate of interest is per cent and
states that the net average savings of the
people for the past forty years has not
been over 3 per cent. "We are"
he continues, paying more than
twice as much for the use of
the money we have been compelled to
borrow as we have been able to save
from our labor. Rents are governed by
prevailing rates for the use of money.
81 have come to the conclusion that
giving all proper consideration to every
plan of reform which has been aug
gested the people cannot recover
from their oppressive burdens OF
debt except through the abolition of in
terest, or, at least, by reducing the rate
to level below that of the permanent
savings OF the people.
ITO abolish interest will require that
i the people themselves acting throug h
their properly constituted agent the gov
ernment, shall take charge of their
own monetary affairs, preparing, issuing
and controlling their own money. through
their own instrumentalities, as may be
best adapted to their purposes.
81 can see no way out of our troubles
in the direction l have spoken of that
will be safe, so just, SO easy Of accom-
plishment and so efficient, as to coin our
| land, issue money based upon our wealth
and abolish the business of issuing
money by corporations"
In an interview in Emporia Mr.. PETER
said he was glad to see the land money
idea progressing in the face of what he
| called "rabid metallism." He has de-
clared against free coinage and is against
the entire silver movement He will
take the stump against it this fall.

book in Superintendent Stanley's Office
furnished very little information.
On the 9th of December Superintend-
ent Gaines, who was secretary of the
school fund commission. wrote to the
treasurer of Atchison county to know if
interest on these bonds had been paid.
He requested reply by wire, and on the
same day was notified by telegram
signed by 7. B. Gerow. city clerk. that
the interest had been paid. This tele-
gram is pasted in the letter copy book
on the same page with Gaines letter.
The parties who negotiated the sale of
these bonds made an effort in May, 1894,
but failed on account of insufficient Sc
curity." Several efforts have been made
to sell Atchison city bonds to the present
school fund commissioners, but they
have refused to purchase. 1t is claimed
that the ''rake off, was $1,700 on the
Atchison deal, and that leading Populists
got it. A clerk in the state house told a
STATE JOURNAL reporter today that ]. B.
Chapman of the Press could, if he de-
sired, tell very interesting story about
this, the last bond deal with the Populist
board.

MORRILL, v.P.
The Governor Has the Vice
Presidential Bee
Buzzing NOisily Around In His
Bonnet.
HIS TRIP BACK EAST
Is to Meet Prominent Political
FiXerS.
Reed and MORRILL, the Pros
pective Ticket.
LIS TRIP BACK EAST

Among a very small coterie cf politi-
clans there is a secret connected with
the eastern trip of Governor Morrill,
which is never told except in whispers.
1t ia that the real purpose of the COVER
nor's trip is to start a boom for his can
didacy for vice president, on platform
which shall be opposed to free silver.
Since the governors departure a few
of the friends of the administration have
come to Topeka in response to kilograms
from the governors private secretary,
J. l. Bristow. They have come quietly,
had conference with Secretary Bristo W
and then disappeared as mysteriously as
they came. Not one word of the object
of their meeting did they breathe, but
the purpose of their presence in Topeka
has leaked out
The men were instructed to telegraph
prominent New York politicians that
Governor Morrill, would be in the east
and request them to meet him. Some
thing was also to be said about the as
pirations of the governor and that he is
not averse to taking the second place on
the national ticket 1t was pointed out
that it is necessary to do something to
appease the west, and the only way in
which it can be done is to give western
man Il place on the ticket
Though it is not generally known, it
is said that Governor Morrill, is now at
the summer residence of Thomas B.
Reed in northern New York, where he
is visiting with the Maine statesman,
who expects to be given the first place
on the national ticket
There the New York politicians will
meet the Kansas governor, and there the
deal is to be made which shall unite the
west and ths east and make Thomas b.
Heed the presidential nominee and Gov
ernor E. n Morrill, of Kansas the nomi-
nee for vice president
The enemies of the administration OF
Governor Morrill, who have heard the
story say that the governor has at last
come to the conclusion that he can not
stem the tide of opposition in the state,
and that he can not be renominated, and
that his nomination on the nation al
ticket would be a vindication, and would
place him above his political enemies in
Kansas
It is a we'll known fact that the COVER
nor has long been a fast friend of the
popular Maine congressman, and that he
has always quietly favored his nomina-
ton for president. It is said that Cove r
| nor Morrill, issued Thomas B. Reed il
first certificate to teach school.
The friendship may go a long way to-
ward convincing Reed and the easter
politicians that he is just the man for
| second place, providing the man from
Maine can capture the presidential
plum at the national convention.

me with the information that two of the
cows were dying. They were bloated up
from the effects Of eating the alfalfa and
could not move
"He said he could do nothing to help
them, and l thought there was nothing
to do but let them die, when an cid col
ored man on the place came up. 'Oh, I
can fix them all right said he. Bring
me a bucket of water
''The water was brought aud he poured
it slowly on the spine of each animal
just in front of the hips and in five min
utes they we're up and went away as
we'll as ever. I have told several people
who have tried the same thing, and
always with success"

esC0RNFIELD" OF KANSAS.
Editor of the ssJournaI" Tells IIIinOisans
of Our Immense Crop.


CHICAGO, Aug 13-"The bigness of
our corn crop beggars arithmetic" said
Frank P. MacLennan, editor of the To
peka STATE JOURNAL, in an interview
here today. Instead of saying the state
of Kansas now, you should use the syno-
nym 'cornfield' for state You will IN
derstand in q measure the corn figures
of Kansas when I say to you that the
crops will be more than quarter of a
billion bushels. 1t will exceed 800
millions. It will give five bushels, or
800 pounds, to every man. woman and
child in the United States, and leave
enough to send several ship loads to
Russia.
SIN Kansas it is customary to say year
~ in the summer, one more good rain
will insure the corn Since we began to
use that stereotyped expression about
/ the Fourth of July we have had one
rain after another. the last one a few
days ago, all coming as if provided by a
terrestrial rain maker who had discov-
covered the real way to find pure gold
the yellow grains of the cob growing
maize. These rains beat all the Kear-
ney's black bottles referred to in the
morning papers.
''The corn crop of 1895 has been saved
from more than its nine chances to curl
up from the hot winds of death 1t is
everlastingly saved. The parched
mouthed, evil demon who in years
passed has blasted the hopes and the
corn of Kansas, has not this season
crossed the borders of the state.
Nothing but regular Illinois cyclone
which might blow the cornstalks out of
the ground, could now hurt the crop, and
that would only give it to the adjoining
counties and states and territory. The
corn is practically made Much of ii
matured very early and frosts have nc
chance for anything more than killing
the leaves which have conveyed the
nourishment to the ear-now able to
hear and also trumpet for itself"
