any public question is not effective an
til it is written in public statute and this
can only be done through the exercise
of the elective franchise in the choice
of congress of the United States which
makes our public laws. No one, take
it, will regard the present tariff law as
a last and final settlement of the CUES
ton. Whatever may be our differences
about the economic principle upon
which tariff legislation should be made
all agree that the present tariff law is
a failure even as a revenue measure.
so without discussing the principle
of free trade or protection everybody
must appreciate that no law is a set
tIement which creates every month a
deficiency in the public treasury Cloud

this country are not satisfied with such
an enactment and will not be satisfied
until a public law shall express the
public will in a statute which will pro-

FORT SCOTT'S REBELLION.
Temperance Citizens There, Will Not
be Sat Down On.

A citizen of Fit. Scott has written a
letter to the state temperance union,
giving some inside facts concerning
the Republican convention in that city
which indorsed Governor Morrill,. He
says;
The anti-Prohibitionists represented
by the Mystic Brotherhood took great
Offense at our church action against the
police commissioners, and with a view
to indicating themselves and humiI-
iating US, went to work with tremen-
dous vigOr to roll up an immense ma
Jority at the primaries for the Morrill,
delegates.
The primaries were packed and our
best people were cOntemptuOusly howl
ed and hoOted down. Their advantage
of organization through the Mystic
Brotherhood and the fact that our
town is strongly in sympathy with
MorrilPs policy of multiplying the law
in the interest of vioIators and city
revenue, gave him the solid strength of
such sympathizers.
In the First ward caucus of Nor
rills friends was held in the saloon
of one Of FIT ScOtt's most offensive and
persistent jOintists. and a company of
men, So or 40 in number. went to the
primary with Morrill, delegation bal
lots. Among those selected as mem
bers of the delegation was the above
jOintiSt, and another engaged in the
same business"

COULDN'T FIND BOLTERs.
Senator Lucien Baker Says He Didn't
Discover Any.

Leavenworth, July 31.-United States
Senator Lucien Baker returned to his
home in this city yesterday after a par
tial tour OF Kansas, where he has made
several speeches in favor of the Re
publican national ticket.
He reports unprecedented earnest
ness and eagerness on the part of the
people to hear and listen to the Re
publican doctrine of protection and
sound money In the matter of the al
legged silverite boilers, he says they are
always in some other town away
from the speaker, and he did not, in his
tour, encounter any of these boilers
Especially among the old soldiers did
he find great enthusiasm and loyalty to
the national ticket.
Mr. Baker spoke at NortonvilIe
Tuesday night to large audience
When at the expiration of two hours
talk, he was about to quit, he was com
PEELED by repeated calls to proceed. and
he was required to talk on for an addi-
tiOnal half hour.
Senator Baker has dates for almost
every day up to August II, after which
time his services will be at the dispos-
al Of the state central committee He
will speak at Pleasanton, August 5, at

ADANGEROUS MOB
Of Colored Toughs in This Town That
Must be Suppressed

4@CSG ne suppressed
The band concerts which have been
given by GOrmly's band on Kansas
avenue between Ninth and Tenth
streets have drawn together all of the
tough element of the city. 1t has come
to the point that ladies cannot walk
along the sidewalk in that block with
suit.
A gang of colored toughs and street
walkers swarm to that block and when
q fight occurs an officer of the law
takes his life in his hands when he
attempts to make an arrest.
When Ticklin Harper made the big
resistance to arrest on Tuesday even
ing no less than 20 pistols and revol-
verS We're flashed in the air in threat
ening manner, and divers threats were
made that the officers were to be dis
sected and chopped into fragments.
GOrmly's band gives but one con-
cert a week now on Tuesday evenings.
detailed to the band concerts, but it is
evident that a large force is needed.
| The question comes up: Where are
the other officers to come from? The
pay roll allows for but small police
force. AS it is, only one officer is sta
toned in Smoky Row, his beat being
from the river to Third street on Kan
sas avenue. North Topeka needs her
two policemen, and more too. The peO-
pie in Parkdale, South Topeka and in
the western part of the city demand
some sort of protection in their neigh
bOrhOOdS.
It has gotten to be a serious question.
Topeka is now infested with the tough
est gang of colored desperadoes and
street walkers that has ever been
known.
Even the tough gang that used to in
! habit RedmOndville years ago fades in
to insignificance before this lot of dis
reputable characters. Not a night pass
es but some sort of q robbery is COM
mitted in Smoky Row. The same
crowd attends the concerts, too, and
takes part and starts various kinds of
disturbances.
OF course lots of nice people go to
head the GOrmly band concerts This
is all the more reason why the leaders
of all these insulting actions and dis
graceful fights should be suppressed.
Topeka has prided herself on being a
model city, with a high moral senti-
ment prevailing in all parts of it. II
| these street walkers and drunken
| thugs are allowed to carry on their dis
graceful braWls on the public streets
! during the band concerts, the law abid-
| ing people will not dare venture out OF
| their doors after night. and it will re-
! Quire a dozen extra policemen to con-
| troll them. There has been in the past
| too much letting out of JAIL by the
county commissioners
The laWleSS element must be govern
| ed with firm hand, and it must never
/ be relaxed.

POPULIsTs MADE MONEY.
They Saved Out of Convention Ex-
penses for Campaign PURPOSES.

st. Louis. July S0.-The late Populist
convention in St Louis seems to have
cost more than it came to- St Louis,
through the officers of the Business
Mems league, promised to put up So
GOO to get the convention. That prom
Use has been faithfully kept. Monthly
payments of $1,000 were made for six
months before the date of the conven-
ton. and the balance was paid in a
lump sum.
1t IS figured up by those familiar with
such things that the tickets, badges.
etc, cost not more than $1,000. Some
thing like $500 is estimated as the
amount paid to doorkeepers and at
PENDANTS, and there we have about
1900 as the actual expenses of the con-
VentiOn.
Mr.. TaubeneeK admits that the cost Of
the convention viii not consume the
sic COO. BY his own admission, the ex-
penses win not exceed $1,000 and Of
this amount he accounts for less than
$4,000 attributing the balance to gener-
al expenses
Mr. Taubeneck says the balance of
the money will 60 into the Populist
campaign fund.

MOUNTAIN AND PLAIN.
Construction of Denver Festival
Floats Already Begun.

Denver, July 31-Already a number
of prominent business firms are pre-
pairing their floats for the Festival of
Mountain and Plain; as many as TWEEN
ty are already finished.
Secretary Mcnamara, who keeps tab
on every movement made in this direc-
ton, is of the belief that next years
pageant Will dim if it does not COM
pletely obliterate that of last year.
Every large firm wants to float a sur
prise on it's neighbor and from pres
ent indications a great many of the
right caliber will succeed. The Slaves
of the Silver Serpent are foremost in
enterprise at present. The Gang Brew
ing company and the wholesale paper
firm of E. A. Peters & Co., have their
floats in the course of preparation.

boat on the Colorado river for thirty
years, has prepared to descend the

WATSON---SEWALL MIDDLE
How the Ticket Will be Voted in the
South.

Washington, July 31.-Those in charge
of the Democratic congress committee
profess to believe that the entire Popu-
list vote has been secured for Bryan
by the vice presidential straddle, which
plays Sewau in the north and Watson
in the south.
With Bryan running on two tickets
in North Carolina and Alabama, for
instance, it is said the Democrats and
Populists will vote for the same presi-
Dental electors, but will divide on the
state officers. The party which wins
in the state election will be entitled to
the electors.
AS both sets are for Bryan, the re-
suit will not affect him, although it
Will decide the local patronage. and
Watson may get the votes of the two
states.
