A GARDEN CITY CLAIM.

That is Being Looked After by Chester L
Long.
From the State Journals Special Correspondents
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Representative
Long has introduced into the house a
bill for the relief of Daniel N. Frost of
Garden City, Kansas, which calls for
$500.
This amount is to reimburse Mr.. Frost
for expenses incurred in perfecting his
claim to, a homestead entry made at the
Larned land Office in 1881.
The claim was contested on a differ
ence of opinion as to whether the entry
was a pre-emptioR or homestead entry,
and in his efforts to perfect his claim Mr.
Frost carried his case to the supreme
court of the United States. He was
beaten here, and the present claim is to
reimburse him for expenses incurred.
The reason it had to be brought to the
supreme court was because of the con-
ficting decisions ia the lower aud land
courts

NO MORE CALAMITY TALK.

s. M. Scott Tells the Populists to Drop 1t.
The Populist league had a revival last
night, and s. NJ. Scott, Walter n. Allen
and A. A. Stewart, formerly superintend-
ent of the state asylum for the deaf and
dumb, were the orators of the occasion.
Mr. Scott rather startled the audience
by piece of advice, which was all the
more startling bec2usesit came from him.
He advised the Populist to stop talking
calamity. He said that the time
had come to move 10 a higher plane.
Calamity talk would not prove effective,
and though there are wrongs in the gov
ernment to be corrected, still it is the
grandest government on earth.
Mr.. Stewart talked about reforms at
the state institutions He said that in his
experience he had never asked an en-
ploye his politics, and he thought that
conducting the state institutions as an
adjunct to partisan politics was the
greatest evil existing in the state.
Mr.. Allen said: ''The supreme gener-
alship displayed by the national commit
tee at ST. Louis on the 17th inst followed
up with the contamination of their pur-
pose at Washington on the 22d scores
the Peoples Party second in the politi-
cal arena and relieves it from the third
party reproach in this contest for presi-
dent If it is second now, with ten
months to go on, may we not reasonably
hope to be first at the close of the racer"

The Democratic State Central commit
tee will meet in Topeka, Friday. Februa-
ry %, at p. m.
Secretary w. Il. L PepperilI of Con-
cordia, has issued the following call for
the meeting of the committee:
BY direction of Chairman ]. S Rich
ardson you are hereby informed that
there will be a meeting of the Democrat
ic State Central committee at Topeka,
Friday, February 2S, at o'clock, D. m,
in the parlors of the Hotel Throop, for
the purpose of agreeing on a basis of
representation and selecting the time and
place for holding state convention to
select delegates and alternatss to the
national convention to be held at Chica-
go. July z, 1896"
It is understood that the Democrats in
the western part of the state will try and
get larger representation than hereto
fore, on the ground that the eastern
Democrats who did not vote for Over
myer for governor are not entitled to be
represented in the party management.

purpose of pointing out the evolution of
tyrant and in showing the transition
from a conscientious law abiding chief
magistrate to an arrogant and obstinate
ruler who ignores the law, and issues
bonds at will and issues them under a
statute that is subject to the suspicion
that it was intended to be temporary and
limited in its application instead of con-
ferring a discretionary authority.
"He not only issues them, but does 1t
secretly with his law partner as a wit
ness to the contract, and has created the
suspicion in the minds of millions of his
countrymen that president of the United
States can use his high Office for private
gain.
''He differs from the Repu blican party
only in the one particular of the tariff,
and on that he has blown hot and cold as
his pet hobby and will go down in his
tory as the most gigantic failure of any
man who ever occupied the White house,
all because of his vanity and obstinacy."

professions and letter of acceptance.
No Trouble with the Gold Reserve.
"There had been no trouble with the
gold reserve" the senator asserted, "and
no hint of any loss of confidence in the
national credit until about the time of
the last presidential election. Then for
the first time, we got a glimpse of the
conspiracy which he had referred to be-
fore"
"Secretary Foster" he said, "gave the
holders of greenbacks and treasury notes
the option of having government
paper cashed in gold or silver and as
they all demanded gold, the gold in the
treasury rapidly rau down. The
finacnial papers took up tie cry

breezes of the panic of 1898 swept over
the land and the conspirators fomented it

PEORIA. ILL, Jan. 29.-At Davenport
last night John L. Sulli ivan went out af-
ter the performance and got drunk. On
the Rock Island s. Peoria railroad this
morning about 11:2O o'clock, between
Lafayette and Galva, he walked off the
rear platform.
The train was stopped and
men started to help him
out of the ditch where he
was lying, but he threatened to fight
any one who touched him, and he got
up and walked on to the train himself.
1t was backed to Lafayette and a sur
geon was called who dressed his wounds
but he tore bandages off. At Peoria
another surgeon was called, but Sullivan
would not allow him to touch him, and
he went away on another train. He
was only slightly bruised and scratched.

Senator PETER said: "If the members
of the senate or of the other house of
congress wish to attend and participate
in the obsequies, at their own expense,
nobody will be found to object. Such a
personal sacrifice would be good evil
dence of devoted friendship. Nothing
better illustrates the depth of q mans
convictions than that he show his faith
by his works. Friendship, if sincere,
does not need artificial stimulus to bring
it to the surface. Grief comes from the
heart-one's own heart; it does not origi-
nate in the pockets of other people.
"The average congressional funeral, SO
it is commonly charged. is nothing more
than party of good natured gentlemen
having a good time at the public ex-
pense."
As most of the senators are in favor of
these expenditures being reduced it is
altogether probable that the committee
on rules will report a rule providing for
a regulation of these extravagauces.
