who opposed the election of Mr.. Nc
Bride that had the convention been held
elsewhere than in far western city last
year the result of the balloting would
have been different. AS the convention
will be held in New York, the very CEN
ter of the conservative element, for the
first time this year, it is believed by
those making up that element that they
will stand q much better chance Of win
ming than they did last year.
The candidates who have been talked
of include men from both east and the
west. The name Of Mr.. Gompers is, Of
course, a prominent one in all discus
sions of the federation's presidency, but
there are some who hold that P. J. Nc
CURE of the carpenters, Philadelphia
man who has built up his own organiza-
ton in mastery fashion, would make
an excellent president. The carpenters
would back him sohdly, and they have
goo votes in total Of about $500. Mr..
Mcclure is a clear and forcible speaker,
and is well known in labor circles gen
orally. Some there are who favor Joseph
Valentine of the iron molders, and he
would probably be a strong candidate,
since, although he is acceptable to many
fasteners, he now lives in San Fran
cisco, and is therefore popular in the
west. The iron molders have $50 votes
in the convention. Another man who is
highly spoken of is William Prescott of
the International Typographical union,
who is now serving his fourth term as
president of that organization, and is
the first of it's presidents to be elected
beyond the second term. The printers
have $50 votes in the convention. Mr..
Prescott lives in indianapolis. August
McCraith of Boston, another printer, is
likewise spoken of with great favor, and
in the opinion of many, ]. B. Lennon,
secretary of the Journeyman Tailors'
International union, would make q
good president He is now treasurer Of
the federation, and although his union
is not so large as the unions represented
by other possible candidates mentioned
above, he stands extremely well with all
as a safe and fair minded man who has
passed through a varied and extensive
experience in the labor movement. Mr..
Lennon now lives in New York, but as
the headquarters of the tailors are likely
to be removed to the west, and as he was
originally from Denver, he may prop
erly be considered western man. Still
one more candidate who stands we'll
with every one is Daniel Harris of the
cigar makers, now president of the New
York State Federation of Labor, whose
union has 800 votes in the convention.

VORS THE FESTIVAL
John R. Mulvane Very Much in
Favor of 1t.
BELIEVESALARGE CROWD WILL CONE

Abe j. August says the Merchants
will DO the Right Thing.
The people of Topeka are unit on one
thing and that is that next years festiv-
tiles must be made success.
John r. Mulvane. president of the
Bank of Topeka is one of the latest to
advocate the festival. To JOURNAL re-
porter he said:
81 am heartily in favor of the festival
see no reason why it should not be N ade
a success There has been nothing of the
kind in Topeka for long time and see
no reason why we can not have a large
crowd in Topeka and an excellent time
as we'll.
'sOf course the state fair idea is played
| out and people want something new, and
they will come to Topeka, have no
doubt. I hope that the festival will
prove a success and I see no reason why
| 1t should not
''Some of our people are afraid because
| of the experience they had with the
State Fair association. They never re-
ceived cent from it and when the asso-
citation went to pieces they were har-
raised to death under the double liabili-
sy clause of our statutes and were COM
PEELED to put in more money. This is
very discouraging for men who ara en-
terprisiug.
when a man does something to help
out an enterprise in the city he should
not place himself in a position TO be
bounced down upon because of double
liability authorized by our laws
"This makes people timid, but l hope
the carnival will prove success, and
am very much in favor of it."
Abe j. August said: "Let's have a fes-
tivaI by all means. l have thought for
long time that something should be done
to bring people to Topeka, and this is
the right Thing.
Our hotel facilities excel those of any
city of the size in the United States and
We can take cnre of crowds better. In
St. Joe they have an excursion every
week in the summer, but in Topeka
nothing is done ard we have more things
to attract people to Topeka than any of
the other towns.
There are great many people il the
state who are anxious to come here and
they will attend a carnival if we give
them an opportunity. The merchants
will do the right thing. They will chip
in to make the event success and if the
people agree that it shall be success it
will be.'
Manager Irving W. Doolittle of the
1hroop said. 81 am of course very much
in favor of the proposed festival. It will
take money and as the hotels will re-
ceive good share of the benefi t think
| can say that we will hold up our pro-
portion of the cost I am anxious to see
the festival succeed

THE trouble with partisan politics is
that it causes men to take the same posi-;
ton as that occupied by Buck Hinrich-
sen. chairman of the Democratic state
committee of Illinois, who though an out
and out free silver man, says, that if the
national convention declares for the gold
standard, he will vote the ticket. In
other words, he will sacrifice his princi-
pies, and what he believes to be right
and best for the country, for the sake of
his party, and there are thousands in
every state just like him. While men
feel and act that way, and conventions
are so easily influenced and controlled by
designing politicians and seekers for Of
fee, what hope is there for a betterment
of existing conditions? 1t is this blind
devotion to party that enables SO many
scalawags and dishonest men to get into
office. The party and the Individual
should be made to understand that if
they prove untrue to the interests Of
their masters they will be turned down.
Men should not belong to parties but
parties should belong to men.

GEORGE r PECK, in the November
Agora, on the death Of J. c. Wilson:
"Men moralize upon death, and try to
make it blessing. Doubtless it is-but
it does not seem so. It has been, and is.
and must for ever be the one theme
which speculation cannot exhaust and
which reason cannot solve. The world
goes on joyously with its business and
its schemes, even as soldiers march into
battle over other soldiers slain. We
have no time for tears. The bounding
strength of life is in US; we must go
forward, whatever may stand in the way.
And yet; and yet, the problem confron:s
US. Who shall solve it? The little and
the great go hence, but whittier? Surely
not SO far that friend may not say
farewell"

PERSISTENT BURToM.

A great many Republican leaders are
telling the Republicans of Kansas that
they must take Joseph Ralph Burton for
United States senator next time. How
do they like that? Mr.. Burton is no bet
ter as a representative of Kansas or Kan
sas Republicanism now than he was
when he tried for the place before. His
character and methods are the same. He
is no more suited to be our senator now
than he was then. And If by political
trickery, manipulation or purchase he is
made senator. Kansas will be in grave
danger of deliberately walking out of
the Republican column into some other
party.
The people dou't want j. R. Burton
for senator
Kansas Republicans are not what they
were a few years back. They have
broken their party shackles. They don't
care whether they vote the straight
ticket all the time or not. 1t is not the
right period of the ninteenth century to
fool with them.

WHEN civil service regulations in con-
nection with the police system shall be
established in Topeka as has been done
in Chicago, there will be fewer robberies
and burglaries here. There is no more
sense in employing a policeman on &C
count of political services rendered than
there is in employing clerk or a farm
hand for the same reason. The people
know this but there will be no change as
long as they permit the politicians to
manage their affairs

A SENSATIONAL PREACHER
Gets Into Trouble at Perry by Talking
Socialism.

Gets into trouble at RCTFY by Talking
Socialism.
The little town of Perry eighteen miles
east of Topeka on the Union Pacific is
very much aroused by a semi-religious
political preacher who has been doing
business there since last spring
This preacher is Rev. William Wilbur
who came from South Dakota to Kansas
but who is well known at LeadviIle Col
orado Nevada Mo-, and throughout
southern Illinois.
Rev. Mr.. Wilbur used to be a Metho-
dist preacher, but few years ago. at Ne
vada, Mo-, he had some trouble with
Bishop Bowman, who was presiding over
the conference of which he was men,
Der, and he has since that time severed
his connection with the church and has
tablished a church of his own.
When he went to Perry last spring
Rev. Mr.. Wilbur organized his church,
and called it the "Church of Jesus
Christ" and he now claims TO have sixty
members and growing congregation.
He was in Topeka yesterday, and while
here said that he was having some
trouble on account of his teachings. He
said he had been arrested on a charge Of
assault, and when taken before Judge
Myers at Oskaloosa pleaded guilty and
was fined S25. He says the trouble is
that some of the people of the town
charge him with teaching Populism.
4 am not preaching Populism am
preaching socialism, or the doctrine of
the Lord Jesus Christ as understand it
and if these people take that for the
doctrine of the Populist party it is none
of my business"
MIR. Wilbur said he expected to come
to Topeka in few months or just as
soon as he can close up his affairs OF

MeiIcineS OF Old.

Nearly everything in the animal
kingdom was formerly used in the
healing art, says Julius Stinde, Ger.
man writer. In the oldest medical
book now known, composed in He'll
opolis, where once Joseph served in
the house Of Potiphar, we find "a
means for increasing the growth OF
hair, prepared for Schesch, the mother
of Teta, the King OF Upper and Lower
Egypt" Dogs teeth, over-ripe dates
and asses hoois were carefully cooked
in oil, and then grated. As Teta lived
before Cheops, this recipe Tor hair oil
il older than the great pyramid at
Gizeh, and is supposed to date back
more than 6OOO years. The heads OF
yenomous serpents have held an i'm
portant place in medicine. A strong
broth made from them and mixed with
salt and spices and hundred other
remedies, was employed, under the
name OF Theriac, rs cure for every
conceivable disease. Three drops Of
the blood of an angry black cat gave
relief to the epileptic. Even now ami
NAL preparations ure officially used, as
sperm, wax, tallow, swine-fat, pepsin,
musk, cochineal, leeches, etc, but the
nasty mixtures have disappeared,
Even leeches are much less employ ed
than formerly. When bleeding and
cupping were considered important,
leeches held the third place for this
purpose; and in the Paris hospitals,
between 1929 and 1886, from 5000,
900 to G,OO0, 900 leeches were used an.
nually, drawing from the unfortunate
patients 100 hundred weight OF
blood. These examples indicate the
degree of tho changes that have been
made in the science of medicine. -
