Of the provisions of the Blue deficiency

real saving effected, however, was be.
cause Of a quarrel between Major
Hudson and the three members of the
Executive Council composing the print

to bulldoze these men into making the
usual orders for printing, in the natural
result that the printing amount was
cut down.

Republican Opinion Of Blrd.

Morrill, Is running a "businesS" sd-
ministration, he says. He says he is
appointing "buslness' men to office.
Here is what the Kansas City Gazette
(Rep.), June "a, 1895, says of w. G..
Bird, who was appointed Labor Com
missioner:
Probably the foolest fool thing any State ad-
mlnistration in Kansas was ever guilty Of was
the appointment Of w. G. Bird State Labor
Commissioner. When the announcement was
made last February,th this city was dumbfounded
and the end as told in the news from Topeka
Is no surprise. He was regarded by everybody
as ridiculously incompetent. He is young
man, entitled to start in the world, and the
Gazette has 80 treated him. But he has been
the guy OF the street, and the stories told
about his conduct are too ridiculous for be.
lief.
He seems TO be in line with the class OF men
who ride organizations He was indorsed by
all the labor organizations, and yet the first
thing he did was to beat young woman out
of a portion Of her salary, and to hold up q
man IS years old, who has probably had more
to do with making Kansas history than any
other one man, one who in his time has been
great employer Of labor and who has always
been On industrious and hard worker. AS a
sample Of the foolish gall of Bird, he remarked
to several in this city during the week that he
proposed to fire John Speer July for incom
potency,
The upStsrt knows nothing about the
duties of the position he pretends to
fill. His incompetency is unQues-
toned. He does not even know
enough to keep his mouth shut. He
carried out bis threat to throw poor old
John Speer out of his job, and If he
had not been interfered with would
have done personal violence to him.
He even threatened to throw the old
patriarch out of the window. Yet
Morrill, retains Bird in Office and then
blsndly tells the people that he is run
ming q "buslness" administration.

John Sherman Inconsistent.

If any man on the Republican side OF
the monetary controversy ought to be
able to deal with the points raised by
the friends Of silver, that man is John
Sherman. We turn, therefore, to his
speech at the Republican rally at
Columbus with some expectation that
the discussion will be carried at least
step further, and some approach made
to agreement on the matters really at
Issue. It is a very able speech, and con-
tains some very curious bits, OF infor-
nation on the history of the subject, and
some personal hitE, which may be left to
the gentlemen most concerned. But for
the main purpose of meeting the CON
tentlOns Of the silver men, it is COM
pletely beside the point. Even Mr..
Sherman must repeat (or palpably
assume) that gold 10 an absolute standard
Of value; that a decline OF silver in terms
OF gold must mean decline in it's value;
that the actions Of government in
monetizing or demonetizing either metal
is not an element in demand which deter
mines the value Of that metal; and that
silver would continue to sustain the
same relation of value to gold after we
remonetized it, that il does now. These
preposterous and utterly improbable
assumptions Mr.. Sherman treats as
axiomatio truths, on a par with the
multiplication table in certainty.
While the speech abounds in history
we find in it no reference to the fact
that twice in very recent times the
Republicans Of Ohio declared themselves
ready for independent bimetallism, il the
other kind were found impracticable;
and that Hon. John Sherman made q
speech in their convention, which was
understood to be an approval OF that
declaration. Also that Hon. William
Mckinley approved that declaration, If,
indeed, he did not draft it. With these
facts in memory, it would be we'll for
Mr.. Sherman not to throw stones at
Senators Jones and Stewart for what
they said over twenty years ago. They
have taken much longer to change their
mind than have the Republicans of Ohio
and their leaders.-The american.

LARNED, August Ex-senator Leedy

A MISERABLE FAILURE.
The Business Administration is Fraud
and Dismal Failure.

gives as little information az to the
nature Of that record as possible. II
maintains a discreet silence whenever
q bill of particulars is demanded. II
pressed for definite information q mass
Of stuff compiled by Mr., ChsllinOr ID
brought out. Mr.. ChsllinOr is one Of
those favored individuals who while In
Office manages to get more than the
law gives him. When he was appointed
it was distinctly stated by Republican
papers that he was to be paid a salary
of $4,000 per year, Notwithstanding
the fact that the law and the appro.
pristion bill only gave him $l,500,
The other $500 ia paid out Of the Gov.
ernor's contingent fund. The question
now is, is that $500 paid for public
service, or Is it compensation for Jug
Cling figures in order that 1t may be
made to falsely appear that this Is q

Mr.. Chsllinor were printed about six
weeks ago. These figures related to

to appear that the board was making
a remarkable record. For the benefit
Of our readers who did not have an op-
pOrtunity to read the ADVOCATE sEti.
Gle of July 8, it is reprinted In another
column. In commenting on Mr.. Chsl-
llnor's and the Capitals figures, the
Lesvenworth Times Rep,) says:
"The figures prepared by our En-.
glish accountant are q little mislesd.
ing, although they have been published
by authority. For instance-rhe ex.
pendItures of the Penitentisry have
been shown as follows: 1894, S131,-
S51.55; 1894-5, $142, 1850. AZ; 1895 6, $124,-
644.84. 1t will be seen that saving Of
$6,686,69 has been effected In the
eleven months of 1896 6, as against the
twelve months of 1894, or $18, 1868
as against the twelve months Of 1894-5.
"These figures, provided by their
man, who never cast q vote in Kansas
(by the grace Of Morrill), are undoubt-
edly correct, but they do not show the
deficit over the periods with which
comparison has been made. AS is well
known, during the eleven months just
ended the Penitentisry has fallen short
of receipts over $4,000, a showing
fatal to any claims made of business
oversight. Such record has never
been made, even during the early and
productive period of that great
institution.
"It is hardly necessary to say any
thing about the coal raised, full Of
dirt, shsle and sulphur, which finally
caused the contract to go into the
hands of an Arkansas City grocer be-
cause export dealers could not place it.
The present action was forced, not by
Governor Morrill, but by the miners of
LesVenWorth.
"a small saving is shown by com.
psrison Of eleven months at the Sol.
diers' Home in 1895 6 as against twelve
months In previous years, a little over
$1,000 for each of the years. On the

namely, officers Robinson and Dunn, are
somewhat difIident about complying with
oil the bylaws that the constitution re-
quires. These bylaws, which went into
