Gust Mauer, patient of the To-
peka insane asylum, died recently
and was sent to his friends at Hays
City with a letter from the superin-
tendent, DR.. Eastman, saying that
he died from an apoplectic fit. Up
on receiving some intimation that
all was not right, the body was taken
up by the coroner of that county on
July IA and medical examination re-
vealed the fact Mauer'S neck was
broken. The circumstances OF the
affair show that murder was doubt
less committed by an inhuman at
tendant. And this under The ere

coming more and more evident each
day that the states institutions were
never in the hands of such knaves

its merit. no one proposed to demon
etize either of the metals except some
money lenders from Europe who pro-
posed it in 1854. (Applause.) But at
that time, 1873, when it was.not In
circulation and was not needed the
movement was begun and cOnsum-
mated. And as one congressman said
when the bill was offered in congress:
I'VE are not using gold and silver as
money, have not yet considered an
act for the resumption of specie pay
ment, and the introduction of this
bill at the present time either means
a trick or is farce worthy of being
caricatured by Thomas Mast
This closed the debate for the day
and questions were in order.
B. L. Bliss questioned Mr.. Harvey
as to figures in his book relative to the
coinage of silver previous to 1873. Mr..
Harvey admitted that he did errone.
OuSly state the amount at $4,000, 900
less than the amount of silver actual
ly coined before 1873. However, it
had been to the interest of his argu-
ment to state the amount at all il
would stand.
0. B. Gum of Kansas City caused
Mr.. Harvey to explain at length the
amount and denominations of silver
coinage previous to 1873.
Questions by score of Others we're
asked and answered but the discussion
was of rambling nature.

Partu 60rruDtlOn,

The Caldwell News excuses itself
for claiming credit for its party for
discharging drunken policeman in
Topeka and retaining and apologiz-
ing for drunken state treasurer at
the same time, by asserting that
Governor Morrill, finds his time all
occupied with investigating Popu-
lists just now; that he will get after
Republicans when he gets through
with the Populists. We suggest to
Brother Simons that Governor Nor
rill is not in very good shape to
prosecute boodlers Of any sort since
he himself was caught "fobbing" that
little 1866 for work and supplies per-
formed and used before his term of
state service began. And We might
suggest also, since the News thinks
the VOICE derelict in criticising Pop.
ulist officials for misdeeds, that we
have yet to see one word in its col
umns condemning this dishonest act
of the chief of its party. The VOICE
is free to admit that it has perhaps
been little lenient toward some
Populist officials for their seeming
conduct, but it has come more from
want of proof Of guilt than desire
to shield. In case ofWarden Chase.

The Hutchinson reformatory COM
missioners had a stormy interview
with Governor Morrill, the other day.
The governor wanted them to resign
and found fault with their vouchers,
which were somewhat extravagant.
Tully Scott acted as spokesman for
the commissioners. He said:
"In regard to the vouchers they
were only presented for examination,
but If they were they were DO worse
than yours"
Here Governor Morrill, jumped to
his feet and walked across the floor
nervOusly and said: "They were not

vouchers, sir They were my clerks. y
eyes," replied Mr.. Scott, Adam
again blaming Eve. The vouchers
were not caShed without your approx.
al and signature. You say that our
vouchers were unlawful and l say that
yours we're unlawful"
In reply Governor Morrill, said:
"They were pronounced unlawful by
Dawes, but other good lawyers say
they were good"
"Yes," said Mr.. Scott, "Dawes is
the same rooster who pronounced eur
vouchers unlawful and which are pro-
nOunced good by other good lawyers.
The fact is your vouchers and our
vouchers are condemned by the same
attorney general, but wish to say to
you that we have never presented a
voucher and have never drawn a dollar
from the treasury except upon full
consultation and agreement with the
proper officers Of the state"
whether we are entitled to the
amount or not" continued Mr.. Scott,
digging the governor in tender spot,
I'VE certainly do not ask pay for SER
vices before becoming officers or for
time wherein our predecessors had
been paid for by the state"
The governor WINGED perceptibly.
He changed the subject by growing
back, "You also make an egregiOus
blunder in your selection of Superin-
terdent Hatch"
"And YOU" promptly retorted Mr..
Scott, "also made an .egregious blum
der in your selection of Labor Com
missioner Bird"

has excelled that of any previous
warden. He has made the institu-
ton self-sustaining and paid bal
ance into the state treasury, some
thing that has never been done be-
fore. The objection to Senator Rog-
ers as regent of the state university
was personal grounds; not on any
official corruption or incompetency;
and while we should like to see none
but men Of the purest lives put in
official positions, yet since all politi-
cal parties are composed Of diverse
human nature and manhood we can
not bring any charge to bear other
than that Of official corruption, ex-
cept the general one against all po'
litical parties for not keeping such
men in the rear. The report just
made of the Householder investiga.
ton looks as if Senator Householder
had used his trust as a member Of
the state board of charities to his
own private profit, and he deserves
the contempt OF PopulistS even more
than Of Republicans, for it is the
cause Of reform he has betrayed more
than the interests of the people Of
the state. Such men ought to be
Spotted" and kept in the rear.
However, we desire to say that on
the whole the Populist administra-
ton was freer from "jobs" and"bood-
ling" than any administration the
state has ever had. A great hue and
cry has been made by the opposi-
ton in order to frighten the people
and pave the way for removing them
to make room for Republicans, who,
before they are fairly warm In their
places are turning up as boodlers of
the worst type. And the evidence
against them is so plain that Repub.
lican papers themselves are forced
to admit it. Take, for instance, the
governor himself. 1t was useless to
deny his guilt, but how many Repub-
lican editors have condemned him?
Rather have they excused and apol-
oglzed Tor him.
Brother Simons will find no one
more willing than we to concede
and condemn Populist officials for
corruption, but We want something
beside general charges against them
to base our condemnation upon.
Since the News is on this line why
don't it give its readers the balance
of the facts about Clerk Sadler's cor
rupt deals, about which it lapsed in
to silence without stating that Clerk
Sadler told the story to Billy Maddy
himself.
And why don't it condemn its par
ty for the deal Of 1898, which it says
gained by it rather than Commits
sioner Faurotl
And why don't it condemn the
county commissioners for wasting
the peoples money for county print
ing, as it did the city council Of

And why don't it confess to its

The investigation of the Populist
management of the Topeka asylum
disclosed rottOn condition of affairs
that was disgrace to the state and
the only redeeming feature of this
awful disclosure was that the two
Populist members of the committee
united with the Republican in con-
demning such barefaced steals and
corruption. The following is a state
ment of sums of money drawn by
these men out of the state treasury
for years:

The members of the board paid
their way on Pullman cars to the
Worlds Fair out of state money that
should have gone to the inmates of
the asylum and charged the state
mileage and expenses for many trips
that they had never made. The evil
