ONLY TO BE AGREEABLE.

Emperor William More Polite Than Sim
According to French Newspapers.
PARIS June 21.-The newspapers gen
orally regard Emperor Williams speech
at Hamburg, as inspired by desire to
be agreeable rather than expressive of
his real sentiments.
The Solicit remarks that in spite of the
pacific tone of the emperor's utterances,
morose persons remark that peaceful fes-
tivities have sometimes preceded terrible
wars.
According to La Paix. Emperor Will
lam desires peace, but the republic alone
can give universal peace to the brother
hood of nations.
According to the Radical the simplest
method of assuring peace is for Ger
many to surrender what she owes to
war, apparently referring to Alsace- Lor-
raine.
The Petit Republique expresses the
opinion that to credit the utterances of
Emperor William at Hamburg, vessels of
commerce should have been evoked at
Kiel, not Warships.

MONEY NOT THE TROUBLE.
The Leading Socialist of England Writes
to L, A. StSbbinS.

to L. A. Stebbins.
Some time ago L A. Stebbins read
paper before the Populist league. in
which he took the position that the Pop
ulists made mistake in holding that the
currency question is responsible for all
the ills from which the country is suffer
ing. He says that the trouble is in the
existing social conditions.
He sent his paper to the leading Social
ist of gland, Sidney Webb,w is at the
head of the Fabian society of London
which is composed of very prominent
literary men and philosophers who are
Socialists Mr.. Stebbins has received
the following reply from Mr.. Webb:
June 1895, Al Grosvenor Road, Westminster
Embankment, London, S. w.
DEAR SIR: I have to apologize for not
earlier acknowledging the receipt Of
your letter and the enclosure which l
read with much interest l fully agree
with the view you express in the paper
to the Populist league as [ am convinced
that those who imagine problems of
currency to be at the root of present day
evils are under an entire misapprehen-
sion as to the real causes of those evils
Yours faithfully,
SIDNEY WEBB.

BEGGING FOR HELP.
SassOun Sufferers ImpIOre Aid Against
Turkish Outraxes and TOrtures

sassoun Sufferers Imp1Ore Aid Against
Turkish Outrages and fortunes.
Boston, June 21-The following to
this city, is a copy of petition from
Sassoun sufferers in Erzerum, eastern
Turkey, which has been addressed to
the British. French and Russian consuls
in this oitv:
1--WE Sassounians in our homeless con-
dition, are forced to fee and come to
Erzerum to appear before you and mar
rate our bitter woes to you, arising from
the present severity of the government.
'.Not only does the government use
very severe measures to prevent the peo-
pie of Sassoun from appearing before the
commission to relate the true story, but
it also imprisons them if they are bold
enough to attempt to appear or even plan
to Go so.
They have even brought women and
girls and imprisoned them naked under
the surveillance of wild and fauatical
people, trying to force them, as they did
other prisoners to give testimony contrary
to truth, to the effect that the massacre
occurred in quarrel between Kurds and
Armenians, and that the Turkish soldiers
did no evil, but on the contrary, defend
ed them against the Kurds.
And because these poor people were
unable to be witness TO such faIsehood,
they were tortured, abused and subjected
to the misery of imprisonment for many
days. Still at the present time there are
il Moosh prisons more than TWEEN
ty Sassounians who are suffering
bitterly, while other Sassounians are
being prosecuted and being abused in
the Moosh-Khanoos villages by the local
governors.
"We entreat your immediate pity and
assistance for ourselves and those in
prison. Otherwise we and all the Sas-
SCUM remnant will be lost"

he FOOLED THE SPORTS.

George Wolff Made Chicago Race Track
Men Think He Had Remarkable Horse.
W. A l. Thompson tells a good story
about George Wolff, the we'll known To-
peka horseman.
A good many years ago Mr.. Wolff
bought a horse for 800 and by good
training soon had it able to trot mile in
less than three minutes. Then he went
to Chicago and took the horse with him.
He hitched it to an ordinary farmer
wagon and drove to park where races
were in progress.
Going to one of the men having the
race in charge Mr. Wolff initiated the
voice of countryman unused to the
ways of the track, and said:
"say, Mister, I've got boss I'd like to
enter in this race"
"Can he trot?" asked the racing man.
"He can hit pretty lively gait behind
a wagon, but there amt no telling what
he'll do on the track"
The race track man thought it would
be a good joke to allow the horse to en-
ter, so it was arranged. In the race Mr..
Wolff drove awkwardly, said "git up"
and whipped the animal with the reins,
az countrymau might do. The result
was that while his nag didn't win the
event, the mile was made in less than
three minutes. The sports opened their
eyes in establishment Surely horse
that could trot mile in three minutes
with no training was a wonderful piece
of horsehesh.
"Where'd you get that horse, Farmer?"
one man asked.
81 raised him. Got half-a-dozen like
him. Goes pretty good, don't her"
The sports in the crowd soon began to
bid on the horse, but Farmer" Wolff
protested that he didn't want to sell the
animal. saying he didn't know it could
go SO fast, and Furthermore the horse was
a family pet Finally the bids were
raised to $4,000, and Mr. Wolff "reIuc-
family" exchanged the plug for the cash
and returned to Topeka.
This was a good many years ago.

BETTER LOOK OUT.
Attorney General Dawes Warns
Commissioners of Barber County
ABOUT RENTING JOINTISTS FINES.
Other Matters Pertaining to the state
Departments and state Officials.

Other Mstters Pertaining to the state
Departments and state Officials.
Attorney General F. B. Dawes has put
himself on record on a point of law
which will be good news to all who IA
vor the enforcement of the prohibitory
law.
Down in Barber county the county
commissioners have been releasing from
Jail and renting the fine and costs of
persons convicted of violating the pro-
hibitory law, but Attorney General Dawes
says they had better look out.
In an opinion and letter written to
County Attorney Leon Beals at Medicine
Lodge, Attorney General Dawes says:
Your commissioners, in releasing per-
sons who are unable to pay their fine and
costs, must be governed by this law of
1871 Under this law the commissioners
would have no right to release a person
from the payment of any portion of the
him, and would be subject to collection
by execution the same as any other
judgment l am DESTROYS that YOU urge
upon your commissioners that they treat
persons convicted under the prohibitory
law, and sentenced to pay fines and costs,
just the same as persons convicted of
other misdemeanors who are also sem
tenced to pay fine and costs. Persons
who have been convicted under the pro-
hibitory law should not be released from
imprisonment until such time as they
are ready to quit the violation of this
law. Your county commissioners are
likely to get themselves into difficulty ii
they pursue any other course"
