RECKLESS DRIVING AND RIDING.

| RECKLESS DRIVING AND RIDING.
Frequent complaints come to hand of the
careiessneSs or reckiessness OF drivers,
especially Oh crowded streets II is Eo,e-
worthy tina I the ma .orit : of these oomplaints
is directed against drivers of business
wagons, who appear to believe that the per-
imbu!ating pubic has no rights which they
are bound TO respect. By far the greater
number or runovers are caused by this
class OF Jchus. II there is any police regu-
htion on the subject it should he enforced;
If there is not. one should be framed and
promulgated TO meet the case
There is no reason why such vehicles
neck pace. and endanger life and limb OF
pedestrians. As rule. their business
is not SO very urgent that they need incur
such risks, or he guilty or such disregard
OF consequences. They appear to Ike
special delight in increasing their speed
when turning corners. If no accident hap
pens it is no fault of theirs, but rather
an in,erpositlon OF Providence Women
ana children are particularly in danger from
these drivers who pursue their course re-

wagons and business wagons CT every

this class OF vehicles. it is important that
something should be dcne TO keep them
within proper bounds.
AT the same time it might be well to
pay Il little more attention to tie ''sCurch-

III their way are as Objectionable as the
drvcrs. In fact. the prerogative OF the
humble pedestrians II be moderately secure

that they may cross a street at a ccrner

IN THE death OF Lyman Trumbell of
Illinois, which occurred last week
America has lost one Of the last Of her
really picturesque and historic charac-
ters. Lyman Trumbull was one of the
men who helped to guide the ship of
state through the perils of the late civil
war, and his counsel was generally OBJ
served. 1t is said his strong right hand
drafted every appropriation billof that,
one of the greatest wars of modern or
past times. Trumbull was the best lily
ing example Of pure, sturdy, American
citizenship. His fealty to country and
principles was always prior to that of
party and he was never afraid to be
stigmatized "bOlter" when the organ
ization with which his interests had be-
come identified had drifted from the
course which his judgment and con.
science approved as just and right
First free soil democrat, he cast his
services with the republican party at
its organization and remained there
during the civil war, and until the party
seemed to him to be taking the wrong
ground. Then he gave up the promise
Of the presidency and the associations

SENATOR PETER has been reported
through the associate press at various
times since the St. Louis convention as
being opposed to populist endorse
ment of Senator Teller and in favor of
q middle of the road" ticket. This
however has been much modified in
his interview with the special COrre-
spOndent of the Rocky Mountain News.
The average press interview is about
as unreliable as the shifting winds, and
it is probable that the News interview
is the most nearly correct of any. He
here manifests high respect for Sen
ator Teller's worth and ability and does
not take grounds against his endorse
ment. The nearest he comes to it is
in saying that the pOpuli5t organization
should be kept intact and in this we
fully agree with him. Then when the
work of securing the monetary reforms
we ask is completed, we are already Or
ganized to press some Of the others.
Mr.. PETER even speakes favorably to
an understanding with the silver dem
Ocrats of the South and West by which
the ELECTORAL college will not be divided
on silver.

CONTAMINATION.

Mr.. EDITOR: One of the most i'm
portant offices in the State of Kansas
is that of county commissioner. The
county board being entrusted with the
entire management of the business af-
fairs of the whole county, and with
due regard Of the honor and integrity
of the commissioners who have been
elected IN the past, there is no Office
in Reno county so sadly neglected.
The people appear to think that any
body will do. The city of Hutchinson
at least should see to it that she is rep
resented by man who is capable, hon
est and efficient, and above all with a
man who has had at least a little
business experience. Such a man is
j. B. Brown, honest upright and in
dustrious, an old settler, a thorough
business man and one who has always
had the best interests Of the community
at heart, and above all a man with such
sterling integrity that be handles the
affairs of others with the same judge
meDt and consideration that he gives
his own. Let Us elect John Brown and
have Hutchinson properly represented
on the board for once.

HENRY CLEwEs, of Wall Street, is
now very mOdestly claiming credit for
his fellow buccaneers for the gold plank
in the republican platform. In his lat
est circular, in speaking of the mercan.
tile and industrial interests, he says:
"They perhaps recognize more readily
the value of this victory because it is
largely theirs; not a political achieve
ment; but one won by the manly efforts
OF men moved by All intelligent percep-
ton for the vital issues at stake and
the serious interests endangered.
Among the mercantile classes, there is
a common feeling, almost irrespective
of party" Whatever Hanna, Plat
and Lodge may say we know that what
Clews says, is true. These men were
but Wall Streets puppets and instru-
ments.
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1896-07-02

MARC HANNA seems to want the
public to understand and be informed
that all the glory, honor and response
bility of that convention is his own in
fee simple aud clear title, to have and
tOhold now and forever. Certain char
ges have been stalking abroad in the
land heretofore without restraint or
hindrance that Lodge, Platt and Lau-
terback had forced that gold standard
plank upon the convention "to put Nc
Kinley in the hole" as it was said.
But now the noble chief of the mudji
kiwas,th McKinleys and hottentots of
the convention, says for publication that
the aforesaid wise men of the East
were not in it even to the extent Of Of
fering suggestions or whispering word
Of caution as appears from his own
phraseology. He says: THE plank as
it was finally approved by Me went to
the convention without eastern inter
ference or suggestion" There now
Messrs Lodge, Plat and Lauterback,
keep your mouths shut and steal no
honors that belong to me, for 1 am
Hanna, the maker of candidates, the
ruler of conventions, the builder of
platforms, the dispenser of "Oil" and
in word l am the grand old party, and
to me is due all honor, praise and
glory. Amen. And that's what's the
matter with Hanna"
