DR.. johnson stoutly poohpoohed the
motion of the effect of weather on the
mind. "To temperance, he wrote,
"every day is bright, and every hour is
propitious to diligence. Johnson, how
ever, was little given to analyze the in
fuences Of nature, or any other infu-
ences, upon himself. And it may we'll
be that this disposition on his part was
in the spirit Of the stoics and in def
ance of his own feelings, to which he
disdained to give way. 1t seemed to
him a sorry thing that ga being en-
dowed with reason" should "resign his
powers to the influences of the air and

Official Deception.

The arrangement of the ballot in
Sumner county is not such as to place
much credit to our county clerk. He
has used his ingenuity to arrange the
tickets on the ballot in such a way as
TO make it as plain as possible for a
Republican to vote, and to confuse
and deceive as many Populists and
Democrats as possible. And still Mr..
Sadler chimes in with his hypOcritical
cohorts for a free ballot and fair
count. The Republican ticket is
placed first on the ballot. The nat.
ural superstition would be that the
Peoples party ticket should come
next and the Democratic ticket next,
10 accordance with their ratio Of
strength. But instead of this Mr..
Sadler follows the Republican ticket
with the "Middle.of-the- Road Popu-
list" ticket, in the hope of deceiving
some honest freemen, whose votes
and rights are just as sacred as those
OF Mr.. Sadler who thus strives to de.
fraud then. Mr.. Sacler knows that
the natural inclination of the voter
would be to look for the Populist
ticket next to the Republican ticket,
and ne has supplied the unwary with
"Middle-of-the-Road Populistn
ticket, for which every vote cast will
count for naught, The man who Ia
oors hard and has little time to read

A. Graft Wins.

The case OF d. NJ. Osborn & Co. vs..
Atrial, came TO termination Friday
morning, and it was a great victory
for Mr.. Graf. The jury gave him a
verdict for 500. % damages, which was
every cent they could have given him
under the courts rulings. Mr.. Graft
asked for Sl,SOO damages, but the
court early ruled that he could not
obtain damages for injury TO his bus
mess, nor for any prevention of sales
which he might have made but for
his ENHANCEMENT with The Osborn
twine, thus limiting his damages to
the actual profits on the twine not
sold, which was s7O7.25, the amount
Of the judgment.
This case grew out OF a purchase Of
two carloads Of binding Irvine by Mr..
Graf from the Osborn 20. in 1889. The
Iwiue was defective and Mr.. Graf
threw it back upon their hands, and
refused 10 pay for it because it was
not up TO the standard of quality for
which he had contracted.
The case was tried in 1890, and went
tn the supreme court on an error in
ruling by Judge Ray, barring out
nearly all the evidence. and giving a
judgmentagainst Graf for 81 $40, with
81, 200 costs. The supreme conrt over
ruled the lower court and sent the
case back for trial last MAY.
The trial this term has lasted sew
enteen days in all. Ninety-fve wit
nesseS have been examined. princi-
paily men who have purchased and
used the Irvine. Mr.. Graf himself,
was on the stand three days. Every
effort was put forth in that time to
entangle him, but MIR. Crafts knowl-
edge OF his business, and Of his deal
ings was so perfect that his testimony
was thoroughly impregnable. The
attorneys for the plaintiff we're Judge
Ray and G. E. Elliott, and for the de-
Tense. W. W. Schwinn and Tom
George.
The losing of the suit would have
cost Mr., Graf over $1,000, although
the amount involved at first was less
than $1,000. Through it all he has
preserved his equilibrium and sp.
peared as cool as if it were only case
In justice court. He was at home in
bed when the jury reached an agree
ment at midnight last night. He
takes his victory very coolly, thor
Oughly characteristic Of his good bus
mess judgment.
The case will cost the Osborn Co.
not less than $4,000. They will no
doubt appeal.

News comes to the Voice from an
authentic Republican sourcethat the
sum Of $4,000 is to come into this
congressional district to carry it for
Long and the balance of the the Re-
publican ticket. There are just thir-
ty-six counties in the district, which
would give each county $500. But
only small portion will be needed
IN the western counties, hence the
large counties will get much more
than that. If We divide it in proper
ton to the vote cast two years ago
Sumner county would get $500 of
1t. We have no doubt as to the
correctness Of our information. A
computation as to the total amount
of Doodle this would require for the
entire country shows that the same
amount sent to each district would
aggregate S5,444,OOO. But only
about half of the districts or less
would need any Doodle. Hence
Mark Hanna would still have a good
deal Of his s2O,OOO,OOO left. We
haye no doubt that this information
is reliable; and we understand the
county got $1,000 some time since.
What do you think of the Wanted
patriotism of party that requires
such to sustain it, and winks out of
the other eye while 1t is going on.

Things are evidently not working
as smoothly and harmoniously in the
Republican ranks as they might.
There is a growing friction that
seems almost ready to burst into an
open rupture. There are charges
that the chairman and secretary of
the committee are incompetent for
the duties imposed upon them.
Their efforts have been supplemented
somewhat by the Mckinley club
and its officers-supplemented at
times almost to the point of taking
the management of party affairs out
OF the hands Of the regular commit
tee. knowing that the president of
the Mckinley club wanted to be
chairman Of the county committee
and could moi get the consent of the
committee his usurpation at times
has not produced that felicity Of
spirit so necessary to union of pur-
pose in a political campaign. Then
there is the old difficulties of last
year hanging over. The Mail openly
charged John Haughey, (the then
chairman, the now candidate for the
state senate, with open treason to
Sadler and Dave Lewis. And
Haughey came back with the charge
that the editor Of the Mail and his
clique, which includes Jim Lawrence
present candidate for Representative,
were responsible for the defeat of his
bosom friend, Dick Millard. And
there you are. The old grudge is
working and it begins to look as if
it were going to be contest between
the factions as to which would be
knitted the deepest. There is no
question but what both of them
ought to be knitted and we believe
the people Of Sumner county regard
less of party will do good job on
, them next Tuesday.

sought TO be caught In a trap laid by
the smooth gentry wearing official
cloth. Such tactics are deserving OF
the seyerest condemnation worthy
only Of the corrupt campaign urged
and waged by Mark Hanna and the
cohorts Of plutOcracy, who are already
openly advocating the restriction Of
the ballot.
The deception is further carried GU.
by placing the National" ticket
third, Democratic fourth, National
Democratic fifth and peoples, u
sixth. The Peoples party is as often
called PopuiisJ now as Peoples, 4"
hence il was thought "Middle-of-the-
Road Populist" would catch a good
many gudgeons. The same deception
is practiced with the Democrats.
If Mr.. Sadler had wanted a fair ex-
preston Of the people, which should
he his official, if not his personal, de-
sire, he would have placed the tickets
on the ballot In the order of their
ratio Of strength, crOwding all the
side-issue tickets over to the last, but
his personal desires were so great that
he ignored his official duty. proSti-
tuted bis office to the base purpose of
deceiving and defrauding the honest
voters whom he serves.
In Riley and in Butler counties the
clerks are Republicans, and they re-
fused to be party to fraud and de-
ceptiOn in this manner, having ar
ranged them as we indicated. But
not so for Sadler. He is not built

authorities and compelled to pay all
that is due. Is this the motive that
prompted Woods to push the Stewart
matter? Hardly! His conduct through
out shows that he acted purely from
a malicious and malignant motive.
1t will be remembered that a few
years back the John G. Woods banking
house was the leading money institu-
ton Of the county; tnat on account
OF bad investments and bad manage
ment the institution failed and its
power vanished. Stewart, during
these years, grew wealthy, and the
Woods being envious and Jealous,
have hated him. Stewart opposed
Woods politically, and on many occas-
ions they have clashed, and this op-
pOrtunity presented itself to Woods
to chastiSe Stewart, and he seized it.
The matter was settled upon Stewards
own terms and is now out of the way.
But there is another chapter to this
story that Woods does not tell. When
the Stewart matter was before the
commissioners, Woods told the COM
missiOners that he had ten or twelve
other cases ready to start as soon as
the Stewart matter was settled.
Among them he mentioned Col. H. A.
Lopez, ]. n. Glasgow, C. E. Hitchcock,
Smith & White and Joe Smith, of
this city, and Middlekauff & Atchison
and j. M. Harper of Conway Springs,
and John Gilchrist of Belle PLANE.
After the Stewart matter was settled
the commissioners called upon Woods
to proceed against the other parties,
but he refused to d. so. On July Sth.
a motion was passed ordering the
county attorney to proceed against
the parties but he refused and still
refuses to take any steps to compel
other delinquents to pay up. Why
this refusal of the county attorney to
Otey the orders of the commissioners?
Col. H. A. Lopez, J. n. GLASGOW, c.
&. Hitchcock, Middlekauff & Atchi-
son, John GilchriSt, Smith & White.
Joe Smith and Jim Harper are all
prominent Republican politicians
and that is the reason your county
attorney refuses to do his duty.
Woods crowded the Stewart matter
in order 10 get even with Stewart and
to make political capital for himself,
and ne refuses to push the other cases,
because it would injure his chances
for reelection.
Do you propose to support a man
who makes use of his office to vent
his malice upon a political and per-
sonal enemy and uses the same power
TO protect his political friends? Or
10 you propose to support Ivan D.
Rogers, a man who has no enemies to
vent his malice upon, and no friends
to protect, who will, under all occas-
sions, do his duty without regard as
to who it will benefit or harm. Ev-
erybody knows that Ivan Rogers will
do his whole duty. Everybody knows
that Mr.. Rogers is an able lawyer and
counselor, and that if he is elected
the county commissioners will not be
without aid and counsel as they have
been during the past two years. 1t is
common knowledge that the commits
SlOnerS do not take the advice of Mr..
Woods upon any matters of impor-
lance but on tile contrary, seek the
advice of other attorneys. Is il not
about time this county was having a
lawyer for its attorney?

On the much vexed and lOng-mOOted
question as to bimetallic and mono
metallic standard, my own views are
sufficiently indicated ia the remarks
| have made. | believe the struggle
now going on in this country, and IN
other countries, for a single gold
standard, would, if successful, pro-
duce disaster in and throughout the
commercial world. The destruction
of silver as money and establishment
of gold as the sole unit Of value must
have a ruinOns effect on all forms OF
property except those investments
which yield fixed return in money.
These would be enormously enhanced
10 value and would gain a dispropOr-
tiOnate and unfair advantage over
every other species Of property. II,
as the most reliable statistics affirm,
there are nearly seven thousand mil
lions of coin or bullion in the world,
not very unequally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to
strike silver out Of existence as money
without results which will prove dis
tressing TO millions and disastrous to
tens Of thousands. | believe
gold and silver coin to be the money
OF the cOnStitutiOn-indeed the money
of the American people anterior to
the c0nStitution-mOney which the
organic law of the republic recognized
as independent Of its own existence.
No power was conferred on congress
to declare that either metal should
not be money. Congress has there
fore, in my Judgment, no more power
to demOnetiZe either than to demon
etize both. If, therefore, sill
yer has been demonetized, | am in
favor Of remOnetizing it. If its coin
age has been prohibited. / am in
favor Of ordering it to be resumed.
Ii it has been restricted, | am In favor
of having it enlarged.
