"My most extensive business the last

people. Topeka is sort of a dumping
ground for poor people who are travel
ing. get lots of them from Kansas
City. They are given transportation
there to Topeka, and when they get here
have to send them on, sometimes as far
as Emporia and sometimes out on the
Rock Island.
"No matter whom they start out to see
when they get here. they always end up
with me. They usually go to the mayor
first There have been more applica-
tions for transportation lately than ever"
As the commissioner was talking a
young married woman whose husband is
on the rock pile came in and wanted a
ticket over the Missouri Pacific to her
fathers home. Mr.. Hale told her to try
to find work here in the city, as she said
she was able to work.

PERCY DANTELs, BOOK.

Ex.Liautenant Governor Percy Daniels
has Just published another pamphlet
which he calls "The Free Coinage of
American Labor into Honest Dollars"
There is little in it that has not been said
before in one way or another. He takes
occasion in its pages, however, to rap his
party over the knuckles in vigorous
manner. He says:
Nor are the Populists free from just
censure in following soma of the repre-
hensible practices of the old parties,-
bad habis which they promised to
abandon when they Joined the reformers.
The party has halted to trade for votes
when they should have pushed ahead on
their march. In their success they have
shown some of the same greed for spolls
of office that they have SO justly con-
demned in their adversaries.
He pays his respects to the Democrats
as follows:
Promising to practice economy, they
have increased extravaganza aud added
to our bonded debt to permit it.
Promising to wipe out corruption, they
have given its votaries a larger field
Promising to restore silver to its former
position of honor, they have thickened
the walls of its bondage.
Promising tariff reform in behalf of
labor, they have called in the millionaire,
the manufacturerers and the Republicans
to show them how not TO do it.
Promising to be just and faithful in
every responsibility-coo and conserv-
alive in administering the government,
they have continuously displayed the op-
posite-increasing the confusion-adding
to the load of the over burdened masses
and sowing broadcast the seeds of tnE-
moil aud discomfort.
The pamphlet is issued from the press
of the Girard World and is dedicated to
"Populists who are not cranks and cranks
who are not Populists.''

VARIOUS explanations are being sug-
gested regarding the failure of the Bi.
metallic league to muster a quorum.
The true cause will perhaps be found in
the evident lack of sincerity on the part
Of some of its promoters. An organ liza

the advancement of silver alone should
not endeavor to bring out candidate for
an official position when there is already
one in the field who is as pronounced

The truth is we are now in transi-
ton period: The water of crystaliZa-
ton is doing its silent anu wonderful
work. Eventually you cannot keep
these elements of reform apart with
Jokes of oxen; but the question comes,
shall the nation be redeemed in 1896;
or shall the government endure four
years more of dangerous and deadly
strain, while the people sink lower into
wretchedness and desperation?
Can all the elements be combined
without any sacrifice of principle
upon the part of any, to drive the enc
mics of mankind out of this, Gods
magnificent land, intended by Him for
the happiness Of His children. We
think they can be, if mems brains are
wise and their hearts pure.
Rise, brethren, to the level of great
argument.
Never were vaster responsibilities
cast upon generation. Let us thank
God for the opportunities to do good,
and save the unborn millions from
misery and slavery"
