Brewers Don't Want ResubmIssLon.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kas., January 2l-
"There is but little ground for the story
that the brewing interests are going to
contribute to the resubmission cause"
said the agent Of one Of the largest brew
ing firms in the country today. "Under
prohibition Kansas has proved the most
profitable field to both beer and whisky
men. Where, under the former system,
thousands Of dollars were annually lost
in bad bills only cents go astray now"
1t is claimed that one brewery doing a
business Of nearly 100000 per annum in
the State lost less than $500, and this
state OF affairs is said to be true Of other
breweries and wholesale liquor houses.
Everything is done On cash basis. The
same gentleman recalled an instance Of
brewery in this city in operation after
the prohibitory act went into effect, to
show that it never made dollar before
prohibition, while in the first two years
Of prohibition it cleared nearly 10000

Sensational War Talk.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, January l9.-Sen-
sstional stories are aAoat here tonight.
Governor Mitchell, at the request of the
War Department in Washington, has
order Adiutant General Houston to see
that the Florida militia be placed in
readiness to take the field at a moments
notice. The Governor, it is reported,
will call out the militia tomorrow.
In the meantime the Adiutant General
is quietly issuing orders. Similar re-
quests, it is reported, have been sent to
the Governors Of other Southern States.
The story has become generally known,
and is causing great excitement through
out the South.
Governor Mitchell and Adjutsnt Cen
eral Houston were asked in regard to it,
but they refused to talk. General Hous-
ton has been in his office all day, and
has sent kilograms to all battalion COM
manders in the State.
Major Turner, Of Jacksonville, COM
mading the first Florida battalion, has
received several messages from the Ad-
jutant General. The battalion COM
manders at Pensacola and Tampa have
also received messages from General
Houston during the day.
1t is stated as coming from the execu-
tive Office that the Washington author
tiles have reason to believe that deal is
pending between Spain and Great Brit
ain for the sale of Cuba to the latter, and
that the United States is preparing to
resist the transfer Of the island, and that
the flying squadron is coming to Ameri-
can waters to be ready for the war with
the United States that will inevitably
follow the attempted cession Of Cuba.
Dispatches from various cities in
Florida report that the troops are gath
ering and that the war fever is higher
now than the day after President Cleve-

Trying to Advance Redemption Case

WASHINGTON, January 20.-Judge ID.
M. Valentine and Thomas F. Dorsn, OF
Topeka, will file to-day in the United
States Supreme court a motion to ad-
vance the Kansas mortgage redemption
case. Under the rules of the court, no
remarks will be allowed on the merits Of
the case. All that can be said will be
covered by Judge Valentine, who will be
allowed simply to inform the court that
the attorney for the defendant, E. A.
McMath, formerly Of Topeka, but now OF
Dallas, has agreed that the case shall be
advanced to April, provided, at that
time, no oral arguments are allowed.
An effort will be made to have McMsth
revise his conclusion so as to allow oral
arguments, provided the case is ad-
vanced, but the attorneys are quite will
ing to have it advanced on the condi-
tions usmed rather than have it take it's
turn, which wonld leave it pending in
the Supreme court for sbOnt four years.
The court cannot pass upon the mo-
ton TO advance the case before Saturday
next. Indeed, it often happens that
such matters hang up in the court for

weeks and months and it will be rather
remarkable il it is passed upon in
week.
The motion to advance the case will be
set forth as follows: 1--WE ask the ad-
vancement Of this case because the last
decision rendered therein by the Su-
preme court Of the State Of Kansas
affects the interests Of many thousands
Of persons residing within the State Of
Kansas, and great number Of people
residing elsewhere; because it involves
and affects property amounting to many
millions Of dollars, unsettles great num-
bers Of titles to real property, and will
be productive Of vast amount Of litiga-
tion In it's far-reaching results it is Of
vast public concern"

New Assessment Plan.

WINFIELD, Kas., Jan. 21.-The County
Commissioners Of Cowley county have
ordered the assessors Of the county to
change the usual method of allowing the
constitutional exemption. The old custom
was to add up the items and divide the
total by three and then subtract the
constitutional exemption Of 500 which
actually gives an exemption Of 1900
The board ordered the assessors to sub
tract the exemption from the total and
divide the result by three.

Enjoined From Declaring a Boycott.

KANSAS Cry, Kas., January 2l.-A
furore has been caused in labor circles
here by an order issued out Of the United
States Circuit court at Topeka restrain
ing the Coopers' Union, the Trades AS
sembly and the Trades Council from
declaring a boycott against the Oxley
Stave Company Of this city, which is
having trouble with its employees over
the introduction Of machines opposed
by the employees.
The matter has been set for hearing on
the 9th. Labor leaders claim there
has been no move toward boycott and
that the Injunction has been granted
upon mere rumor of a proposed boy
cott.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF the Peoples Party Called to Meet in st.
Louis, July %.

Louis, July %.
The Peoples party national committee
met at st. Louis January II and called
the national convention. The date is
July % and the place st. Louis, Mo.
The meeting was we'll attended and
the members seemed well satisfied with
the result. Chairman Tsubeneck pre-
sided. The first half day was taken up
with addresses from leading POpulists
who were present. S. M. Scott, of EN-
poria, and G. @. Clemens, Of Topeka,
were among the number who briefly
addressed the committee. The commit
tee then went into an executive session
for the purpose of considering the mat
ter of time and location of and basis Of
representation for the convention.
There seemed to be plenty Of cities, and
good ones, too, that wanted the conVen-
ton. The candidates were Chicago,
Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City,
Kansas City (Kas.), Kansas City (Mo4,
Dallas and st. Louis. Several of the
cities had not prepared formal definite
offers and the committee was delayed
somewhat in waiting for these offers to
be put in more definite shape st.
Louis, owing to the absence Of the Presi-
dent Of the Business Mems League, was
delayed in getting its final offer into
shape until late Saturday. That city
then offered to furnish all halls, com
mittee rooms, music, etc, and pay lib
eral cash bonus. The matter was re-
ferred to the Executive committee, and
after taking several ballots st. Louis
won. Dallas seemed to be second choice
The fight wsged by the various contest
ing cities indicated that people were
awakening to the fact that the party is
alive and the presence OF it's national
convention is thing greatly to be de-
sired. st. Louis is specially good To-
cation, as it's hotel accommodations are
ample, it is convenient of access to the
large majority of Populist strongholds,
and it has several halls, any one Of
which would be plenty large enough for
the convention.
In the matter of time Of location there
was very extended discussion. 1t was
finally determined that July p should
be the date, although the Executive
committee may within ten days change
the time to some other date between
July 7 and July % if in the judgment Of
the conference committee such change
is necessary in order to enable the silver
people to meet at the same time and in
the same city. 1t is not at all likely
that any change will be made. This ar
ranQement will give the convention an
opportunity to judge what degree OF
earnestness and interest is manifested in
the independent silver movement on the
mart of members of the old parties be-
fore the Populist nomination is made.

At Benton Harbor, Mich, on his re-
cent tour through the state, Mr.. Bryan
| spoke as follows of character some
what prominent in this campaign:

in this city, find the following:
"Yes, times are hard, but we are not
in the deepest water yet. If silver

greatest disasters that ever loebell the

nearly $4,000 loaned in this county 10

MY friends said Mr.. Bryan, 81 want
to denounce the money lender who at
tempts to use his mortgages to intimi
date American citizens and say that
that man does not deserve to live in q
land where men are free and have a
right to liberty. When you admit that
it is necessary to go to the money lender
and obtain his consent before you can
pass law then you have passed from
democracy to a plutocracy, and liberty.
rs we have understood it, has fled from
this nation. want you to understand
that these men, knowing that they cah-
not appeal to reason, attempt to appeal

do not appeal to Judgment,
attempt to appeal to the fears of men.
In this campaign, my friends, we have
rrrayed against us every enemy of So
ciety, and every man who seeks to make
slaves of those with whom he deals. |

Republican Threats to Disrupt the Gov

Republican Threats to Disrupt the Gov.
erment If MIR. Bryan Should Win.
Edward Lauterbach, chairman of the
republican county committee of New
York, said in public speech, delivered
few days ago, that if Bryan and the
Chicago platform should obtain a ma
jority of the votes in the approaching
election, eve will not abide by that de-
cision." Lauterbach is not an ire
sponsible nobody to indulge in idle
chatter. He is Boss P1att's right-hand
man in New York, and was delegate
from the state at large, along with
Platt, Depew and Warner Miller, to the.
national republican convention which
met at st. Louis and nominate McKin-'
ley. This is, therefore, a threat to over
throw the lawful result of an honest
election, made by a responsible repre-;
sentative of the republican party
the chairman of the republican CON-
Elittee of the richest and most populous
county in the United States.
Two nights later, Senator Palmer, the
assistant republican candidate for pres
ident, made the following declaration
in a speech at Detroit: For myself, I
would prefer to live under a righteous
monarchy rather than submit to such
principles as those declared by the Chi
cago convention" If Bryan and his
principles triumph, of which there is
every Indication, Senator Palmer will
not go elsewhere to seek "a righteous
monarchy" under which to live. He
would find it more convenient to join
Lauterbach in an attempt to establish
one of that kind in this country.
On the very day on which Lauterbach
declared the determination, under the
contingency mentioned, to overthrow
the government, Dugald Crawford,
leading merchant of ST. Louis and a
large employer of labor, made a
thorough and systematic search of his
list of employees to find ii any of them
were in favor of free silver and Intended
TO vote for Bryan. He found such, and
summariIy dismissed them-in viola
tion of law and every principle of maui
hood.
These three occurrences are mere
specimens of what is going on every
day among the plutocratic supporters

Who are the anarchists? The Chicago
platform contains not even the sugges-
ton of the violation of any law. The
men who are opposing it so bitterly
are not afraid the laws will not be en-
forced, if it should win, as Mr.. Bryan
has said. They are afraid the laws will |
be enforced.

At Marshall, Mich, during his recent
tour through that state Mr.. Bryan re-
versed the usual order of things and
instead of making a speech himself
merely introduced the speaker. He
said:
"My friends, am not going to have
time to talk to you, but simply want
to make little speech in the introduc-
ton of famous anarchist who is 60
ing to speak after I am gone. Gap

gets up to talk to you to take good
look at him. He is a typical anarchist.
You will probably see his picture in
Harper's Weekly next week. His name
is Hon. Albert Williams, and he lives
at Iona, Mich. and was introduced two
years ago at Iona by Mr.. Mckinley as
the only survivor of the 10 who met and
adopted the first republican platform,
and suggested the name of the republic
an party, on the 9th of July, 1854, under
the oaks at Jackson. (Applause, and
voice: 81 was there.") He must be an
anarchist, because he is with us this
year. Uaughter.) My friends, he is
one of the many men who have found
1t necessary to either get out of the re-
publican party or surrender their coun-
try into the hands of foreigners, and he
has naturally chosen to get out of the
party"

. The preservation of the single gold

the scarcity of money, the lack of indie
pendence in our financial legislation,
the control of the governments cur
rercy and credit in the money centers,

all to the advantage of those already

besides this, have no employment, and
men of small means or well to do, are
getting the worst of it under the pres

of congress on the subject of finance
