LELANp,s ARRoeANCE.

If there were anything that would
induce the State Journal to lend a
friendly hand to Maj. ATorrilrs candi-
dacy for governor it would be the fact
that Cy Leland imperiously tells him
that he shall not run for that Office.
This is ia substance what Leland said
to- the governor The nerve and self
assurance of Boss Leland is Alpine in
height How dare any man say who
shall run and who shall not? Have the
people OF Kansas retired from self
government and is Cy Leland conduct
ing the affairs Of state. What is the
use Of holding conventions merely to
ratify his win2 If Governor Morrill,
wants to be a candidate for governor.
he has a perfect right to be. While
the State Journal is opposed to Gov
ernor 1Eorrill's ideas and methods on
many things. 1T Is ia favor Of fair play
and is totally opposed to the dfctation
Of party policy by party bosses. The
people Of this state are too intelligent
to endure any One-man-power.

THAT EAST WING.
The Scheme Of DTr Atberton to
"Freshen" It Up.

eFreshen" It Up.
state Treasurer Anterior has a
scheme for the lettering of the present
condition Of the east wing Of the state
house.
When the new wings are all complet-
ed the east one will look rather antique
and rusty. and as this is the principal
entrance to the building, Judge Ather-
ton thinks something ought to be done
to preserve it, and make it look bet
ter.
Judge Atherton's idea is to have the
entire outside layer Of stone which COW
ers the east front, removed and in its
place a veneerfng Of cement substance
put on which, when hard, is proof from
effects of weather and time. Aside
from this it will closely resemble stone.
Then the treasurer would have the
steps taken away and granite ones sup
piled, the same as are on the other
wings The wainscoting of wood
the east hail should also be removed
and marble substituted in its place,
similar to that in the other wings.
When the east wing was built IS
years or so ago. Junction City lime
stone was used which is now soft and
crumbling.
1t also grows dingy. dirty color as
time goes on, and spells the total eff
feet of the building. The steps are al
50 crumbling away and the stones are
1Oosening.
Altogether, the east wing does not
compare favorabIy, in its present con
dition with the balance Of the building
and Judge Atherton believes the cost
of repair, which would be small, would
pay in the end He thinks the next
state legislature would do well to at
tend to this matter and intends to
push the scheme all he can.

OTTAWA COUNTY POS.
They Are Having Trouble With Their
Newspapers

Newspapers
Minneapolis, Kan, April 27.-The Pop
ulists of this county are having a good
deal Of trouble over getting a paper
which win stand by the party and
which viii not join any particular fac
ton.
Six years ago J. c. Cline began the
publication Of the Ottawa County IN
dex. Cline is fighter and fears moth
ing. The only objection to him with
the Populsts here is that he does not
train with the Gaines crowd Cline is
satisfied to peg along and make a Hv-
ing, and the other fellows have it in
for him
A few years ago c. W. Hoyt ran a
prohibition-R Republican sheet, but he
sold out to Tom Brewer who came to
this county in 1893 as a. Republican,
turned Populist and then when Cleve-
land came in turned Democrat. lost
the postof6ce for which he was seek
ing and broke up in business all
around.
Then the fuckers began the publ
cation of the Review, which is still
running, without much success. Now
there is a rumor that a brand new
POpulist paper is to be sprung upon the
community. A peculiar feature in this
DR.. D. n Dunn, a lifelong Republican.
and his son Charles, who is now with
Governor Riddles Messenger.
H. E. Gaines, editor of the Salina
Union and ex-state superintendent. is
said to be backing the proposed deal.
Gaines is a. candidate for the Populist
nomination for congress in this. the
Fifth district, and wants an organ" in
this county Th.s deal. if it goes
through. viii probably hurt Cline and
the Index greatly.
At any rate it seems strange the Re
pubHcans have to furnish all the edi-
tors who are imported into the county
for Populist papers.
The Republicans are feeling conf
dent of victory and the county is all
right for the ticket from Mckinley
down.
A good rain has been falling for some
time and crops are looking better than
they ever have at this time OF the year.

RTvER AND HARBoR STEAL.

No more fragrant robbery of the
American tax payer has ever been con-
cocted than that which is embodied in
the river and harbor bill decided upon
by the senate committee. fn the items
pertaining to the improvement Of the
harbors at Santa Monica and San
Pedro on the Pacific coast. The
amount to be appropriated for Santa
Monica is $4,000. 900 and for san Pedro
1897, 900. which sums are to be added to
from year to year.
A majority of the members of con-
gress will probably vote for these APP
propriations in utter ignorance of the
facts The facts have perhaps been
misrepresented or else they win shut
their eyes to the truth and give their
votes for the steal in exchange for the
votes Of the coast members in aid Of
some pet scheme Of theirs.
Santa Monica and san Pedro are viii
lagos situated a few miles apart and
from fifteen to twenty miles from Los
Angeles. At neither point is there any
indication of a harbor. any intention on
the part of nature that there should

a harbor's ever being created. The
Southern Pacific railroad owns the
water front ait Santa Monica and has
built sort Of causAway or wharf 1,4oo
feet out into the sea ia an effort to
reach water deep enough to float a ship
so that freight can be transferred to
and from the railroad. The appropria-
ton for this point is clearly another
plum dropped into the ever outstretched
hand Of c. p. Huntington The item OF
1892, 900 allowed san Pedro is sop
thrown to the other interests. railroads
included, about Los Angeles to keep
them quiet
The whole river and harbor improve
ment business has been narried on IN
this same way for years. The bill at
each session Of congress furnishes an
opportunity for members TO square ac-
counts with their constituents and
with one another at the expense of the
people. But one president has ever in
terfered with this scheme of plumber
and that one was Chester A. Arthur.
1t cost him a denomination.

According to Dun's weekly review Of
trade. prices of commodities show an
average decline Of 2 per cent since
April i. az per cent since 1890 and are
lower than ever known before. If the
gold STANDARD, which entails lower
prices is to bring prosperity it looks as
though the prosperity should arrive
pretty soon. With fan of IL per cent
in five years and Of per cent in less
than a month the advance guard Of
prosperous times should at least be Wis
IDLE. But business failures still keep
up their average and show an excess
the past week over the same week last
year The fact is that notwithstand-
ing the gold standard and the lower
prices neither the laborers. the pro-
ducers. the railroads. the manufacture
erz outside of the trusts nor the small
bankers and merchants are making any
money. Stm some state conventions
and some newspapers advocate a con-
tinuation of the gold standard.

Although she has been fifty years a
monarch, Queen Victoria has never got
very far away from the people, Few per-
sons realize that all sorts of folk write
to the queen, and whatis more, that she
receives theb letters herself. Some of
those that come to her are very odd in
deed A few days ago a missive reached
her from little girl The child address,
ed her letter to THE Dear Lady Queen"
and told how her doll had fallen into a hole
in a hill. The child wrote that she sup
posed the doll had gone right through,
and, as she had heard that the other side
of the world belonged to the queen, she
hoped her majesty would not find it very
much trouble TO give ord rs to have her
doll safely returned to her.
1t has been long time since the queen
enjoyed anything more than she did this
letter. The quaint confidence of the child
had it's own reward. The queen looked
into the case and found the letter was
written in the best of good faith. So she
had doll sent to the little one, whose
strange ideas regarding the length of tho
mole in the hill were permitted to reign
unchecked.
There was another letter not long ago
that greatly pleased the queen. 1t was
from a woman who, like the queen. was
very old, and, unlike her. very poor. It
was simple little missive, written in a
rough hand. and showing the writer to
be very illiterate, but it was full of low
ing Kindness. 1t said the writer had
heard the dear queen was a sufferer from
rheumatism, SO remedy that had aided
the old woman, who was poor. was in
closed in the hope that it might benefit
the greatest and richest old woman In the
world.
