the following:

told Judge Martin in response to an
inquiry as to the cause of their op-
position to him that they did not
consider him a "safe man." OF
course they meant safe for the rail-
roads. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Martin is the one who thought
he could see little equity in our
laws in favor of the mortgaged home
steader, but who was overruled by
the United States Supreme Court.
He is also on record as strong free
silver man, and was entirely too
close to the Populist idea to be Of
any promising use to the railroads
A prominent attorney of Leaven-
worth stated Monday that the last
volume of decisions from the Kansas
Supreme Court contains more af-

courts for damages against railroad
companies than any volume since
the organization Of the Supreme
Court of Kansas.

had no access to Congressional
Records Of 1874, knew that we must
have copied it from some other

writing against the vacuum where
his conscience ought TO be when he
penned those ugly epithets toward
the writer.
Upon running the quotation
down we find that it is printed
in a compendium of quotations
compiled by one, c. H. Bliss, of
Auburn, Indiana. AT the top Of
this quotation Mr.. Bliss says; "This

copy is slightly different, but not
materially So" Now whether this

Logan delivered this speech and the

Mr.. Bliss and the records. For any
practical purpose the quotation as
given in the record and quoted by
the Mail is just as good as the YER
sion given by Mr.. Bliss. 1t covers
the points just as thoroughly as the
other. He was not making a silver
speech. No one ever claimed that
he was. A silver speech in IA
would have been out OF the question.
But he was as the Mail says, ode.
picting the evils that would ensue
from the contraction (by resump-
ZION Of specie payments) Of the vol
ume Of the money and the returning
to gold basis" The Mail says;
"None Of his prophesies Of evil
were fulfilled" We leave that to
the reader to judge and would chal,
lenge any one to name a single
one Of his predictions which have
not come true, in getting down to a
gold basis. They were somewhat
delayed by the compromise silver
legislation which followed Logan's
speech but they are never the less
everyone truly fulfilled in these latter
days since silver coinage has been
stopped and gold enthroned as
the single standard.
We shall hereafter print the
quotation as it appears in the record

Populists are not driven to the

necessity Of misquoting any mans
remarks on the money question. So
many Republicans both living and
dead are so profusely or record
against the gold standard, that we
are furnished with unanswerable
arguments upon every phase Of the
subject without originating anything
new among ourselves. Only for the
charm OF a name and the existing
prejudice in the minds of the people
who do not investigate and study
for themselves, and the millions OF
dollars Of capital being expended in
this campaign for the purpose OF
confusing and confounding the
minds Of the people, there would not
be a handful Of the Republican party
left since the adoption Of the gold
standard platform at St. Louis.
We have perhaps given this mat
ter more space than it is worth.
The sensational charges against the
editor Of the VOICE come from
man who has no standing in this
community either as a Republican
or as citizen. He spends about
three-fourths Of his time digging'up
technicalities and springing sensa-
tions against members of his own
party. First, it is Espy, then it is
Harry Woods, then it is W. w.
Schwinn, then it is John Haughey
or somebody else-somebody all the
time; he is too nervous 10 let him
self rest. Then when campaign
comes on he thinks he must square
himself with the party, lay the
ground for county printing or some
thing Of the sort, and Savagely jumps
on to some Populist IN the hope Of
wining the plaudtis of all the Re-
publicans. Inasmuch as it does
not hurt the Populists we suppose the
little fellow ought to be allowed full
sway.
The standing in his party is shown
by the recent county convention
which selected delegates to the state
convention. A month or more ago
W. W. Schwinn told the Wichita
Eagle that Sumner county would be
against Peters almost to man be-
calse Of the fact that andy richards
seemed to be in charge Of his cam
paign. andy kicked vociferously
at this statement and consigned
Schwinn 10 the dead beat list of
Sumner county but it seems that
Schwinn knew what he was talking
about. andy himself was left sever.
ly at home as a delegate and a
motion to instruct the delegates for
Morrill, for Governor was carried
with only eleven votes against it out
of nearly 200. The demand by
richards for the roll call was almost
considered an insult to The conven-
ton and created considerable CON-
motion before it was granted. AT
one time it looked as if he would be
hooted out OF the convention.
One year ago he was printing sill.
yer editorials and denouncing the
gold standard. Two years ago he
endeavored to deceive the people by
claiming that Gov. Morrill, was a
silver man. He printed in his
paper the text of bill providing for
free coinage of silver at l6 to
which he claimed was introduced
into Congress by E. N. Morrill,
when he was a member Of that body
from the First District. He gave
volume and page ofthe congression.

The record was examined and i
was found that no such bill was in

an amazing rate as this II 1t were not

That Is the secret Of the whole per-
formance. ".
In front Of the machine are six intake
pipes, turned downward. Surrounding
each of these is a. cylinder fitted with

the time, 10 that the knives cut and

ton of great steam-driven centrifugal
pumps Is pulling away at the looeened
mass Of sand and water. 1t Is easy to
imagine the result. Great solid streams
Of debris ilow in the pipes at a rapid
speed. The hydraulic engineers have
calculated the speed to a nicely. They

This Is the way in which the hydrau-

attacks It, cuts Its way through, al
most without an effort, and Is then
ready for the next one. There il not q
bar on the Mississippi which 1t will not
60 through In three hours when fitted
with self.propcllers or tenders. These
bars are usually 1.500 or 1000 feet
across. 1t is not necessary to remove
them altogether. The bed Of river
traversing an alluvial country is q
series Of long pools separated by bars
which have formed between them. 1t
Is not necessary to remove the bars en-
masse, but only to cut channel from
pool to pool, through which the steam
ers can pass. When the channel Is
once cut the river will widen 1t by nat
ural means.
but what becomes Of the sand that IL

suction pipes? 1t Is deposited a. thou
sand feet away from the spot where 1t
Is taken out. The pipes run through
the great floating giant and fifth of q
mile 20 the rear, or to one side, or to
whatever spot may be wished. The
pipes are supported on pontoons and.

Thus the problem of maintaining a
channel in the Mississippi river at low
water is solved Where there Is now
but four and one-ha!f feet of water In
the autumn there will be. after few
of these dredges have been put to work,
fourteen feet. In two years it is possi-
BILE to have fourteen feet OF water from
st, Louis to the sea every day In the
year. Five hydraulic dredges will do
the work If employed four or five
months year at a cost Of $4,000
month each. This is almost magic

The significance of this achievement
is that the problem Of maintaing low
water navigation in all alluvial streams
is solved. 1t is applicable to the Mis-
souri,, to the Illinois. to the Sacrament
to, to the Volga. to the Danube. to the
Dnierer, to the Hoosly IN India, to the
La Plata. to rivers in all parts Of the
world. 1t Is fair to predict that no In
vertion or achievement since the de-
yelopment of steam navigation has
done as much for water transporta-
ton upon rivers as this successful APP
plication Of hydraulics to river bed
dredging will do in the near future.

LITTLE CUT AMBER NOW.
A Pipe Mouthpicce Three Inches Long
Worth from SIG to SIS.

Worth from sig to SIS.
From the Sun.
"Is that real amber?" asked the man
as he held up pipe before the dealer:
The pine was q handsome briarwood
one, and it had clear amber mouth
piece nearly three inches long. The
price mark was $3.50.
"Yes, it's real amber" said the dealer.
That is, it's as real as any amber you
can get nowadays In pipe. 1t Is not
cut from piece of amber, but Is made
by melting process. Ninety per cent.
Of that mouthpece Is amber. The other
ten per cent is a composition used to
harden it and make it stick together.
Some years ago amber was plenty, and
a pipe like that would have a mouth
piece Of amber cut from a block and
never melted. But the amber mines
have practically given out. and you
can't get any more big pieces. piece
of cut amber as long as that on the
pipe you have there would be worth
from S12 to SIS, and 1t wouldn't be
bit better than the manufactured am.
ber. 1t wouldn't be so durable and
would not feel any better between the
teeth"
II was in England year ago. said
a man who had listened to the conver-
sation, land one of the largest manu-
facturers there said that there had not
been piece of amber as long as three
inches in the market for five years"
That's So" said the pipe seller. you
may get pipe with genuine cut ann
ber mouthniece in some stores In New
York. but II you look up It's record you
will find 1t was made eight or ten years
ago and has been in stock. This COM
position Is used today in expensive
meerschaums as we'll as In briarwoods."

No trouble Is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having It think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicines
and spring remedies; the real seat Of
the mischief Is lost sight Of; the stom-
ach Is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not In the stomach so much
as In Yearly every other organ; In some
cases the heart palpitates and Is ir-
regular: In Others the kidneys are af-
fccted: In others the bowels are con-
stipated. with headaches: still others
are troubled with loss Of flesh and ap-
