For Cuban independence.

A well-sttended meeting Of Cuban
sympathizers was held at the court
house Thursday night. Addresses
were made by A. B. JetmoFe, p. H.
Coney, o. G. Hill, George d. Hale and
John r. Mulvsne. Mayor Fellows was
chairman. David OVermyer sent q
letter expressing sympathy and re-
GREETING his inability to be present.
An organization known as "Cubsn
Sympathizers" was effected and the
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, John R. Mulvsne; Vice President,
A. B. Jetmore, Secretary, Harold T.
Chase; Executive Committee, p. III.
Coney, j. G. Caldwell and o. G. Hill.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
We, the citizens OF Topeka, and the State Of
Kansas, in mass meeting assembled to express
our sympathy with, and deep interest in, the
case Of the Cubans in their heroic and patri'
otic attempt to cast of the CALLING yoke Of op-
preston, and to achieve their independence
from the tyranny Of Spain, do declare the fol-
lowing as the sentiment Of this meeting and
of the whole countryS
FiFst-Cuba Is an American nation, and as
such Is entitled to the sympathy of the people
Of the United States. 1t is the American doc
trine that the European colonial system, to
which Cuba belongs, is and should be onl
transitional In its nature. Her political con-
nection with Spain should only last 80 long az
Cuba herself desires.
Second-It has been q long established and
cardinal doctrine Of the United States, that
any European Intervention with the object OF
controlling the destlnies OF any American ma
tion, as q manifestation OF hostility toward
the United States; and especially is this so
when such Intervention has for it's object the
establishment or perpetuation Of monarchy
over such nation.
Third-We believe that humanity, Chris
tisnity and wise craftsmanship demands that
the government Of the United States do at the
earliest practicable time recognize the bel
llgerent rights Of the Cubans, at the request
OF the proper authority OF the people of that
country and not In the contraVention Of the
treaties Of the United States with Spain.

Atherton said that he had not looked
at it in that light, and would be more
careful in the future. Since that time
nothing has been said about the Scott
county bonds. Meanwhile the officials
of Scott county are getting ready to
push their suit to have the bonds de-
clared illegal.
~
The Executive Council will not ad.
Vertise for bids for furniture and car
pets for the rooms which have just
been completed at the State House. A
good many thousand dollars would be
saved by advertising for bids, but saw
ing money is not characteristic of the
present "business administration"
therefore no attempt to curtail ex-
penses In this regard will be made.
The list of furniture will be divided
among the several members of the
council and each one will make his
purchase to suit himself.

cause there is no money to make the da-
mand practical; and every intelligent
man knows that reason for this is found
in the fact that an incompetent Con-
gress, with either profound dullneas

Of conscience, has steadily legislated
against the peoples interests or failed
to legislate at the bidding Of professional
capitalists and scheming corporations,
Steadily for two decades has Congress

employe at the OsaW8t0mief Asylum
during '9S and '94, is still after the
management of that institution. This
institution has always been in the con-
troll Of Republicans. Owing to the
various actions In court the Popullst
Board was never able to get the Repub
liCan officers out. The abuses that
had crept into the management was
shown up by Mr.. Wilson in book re-
Gently published. He sent copy Of
his book to Governor Morrill, and asked
him to cause an investigation Of the
charges therein made, which the Gov.
ernor agreed to do. This promise,
like many others, has not been fulfilled.
Wilson has, however, continued the
work of showing up. the institution
and hopes to be able to accomplish
something which will result in more
humane Treatment of the insane pa
tients. In his book he tells of the sb.
solute murder of a2 old soldier patient.
He sent copy of the book to Thomas
B. Clspp, of Walnut Shade, Mo-, who
was at one time a Republican employe
in the institution, and he wrote Wilson
the following letter corroborsting the
story of the death Of M. M, Young, the
old soldier. He says:

State convention in 1896, or suffer de-
feat at the polls. Redeemers D. r.

The Topeka Press, which Joe Chap
man ran as Populist paper, but which
has been running lately as an inde-
pendent paper, is again for sale. A re-
port was circulated last week that the
State House people were figuring on
buying it. The Journal has been hos
tile to the Morrill, administration and
the Capital has been Indifferent, and
it is on this account that the State
House people feel in need Of news

An Emporia man who is In q posi-
tion to know what he is talking about
says that the Rev. Bernard Kelly is
trimming his sails to run for United
States Senator. Mr.. Kelly figures that
in case Ingalls, gets the better of Bur
ton in the fight, the supporters of the
latter will flock to any candidate in the
central or western part of the State
who gives promise of developing
strength. Mr.. Kelly, therefore, wants
to get in the way of the lightning.

The Democrats expect to make the
fight of their lives next year for resub-

to look around for a candidate for

A. H. Ellis will have opposition in
the Republican Congressional conyen-
tion in the Sixth district next year.
W. H. Simpson, of Norton, has aspirs-
tions, and has announced himself as q
candidate. Ellis is very mad about it.
He thinks that he ought to have
another chance for his white alley, and
has asked Cy Leland to sidetrack Simp-
son. 1t is not likely that Leland will
grant the request. There is a rumor
that Leland is backing Simpson. The
Leland fellows wanted Ellis to contest
William Bakers election last fall but
he would not do it because there was
no ground. 1t may be that they be-
came dissatisfied with Ellis and adopted
this method of putting him on the
shelf.
