would not be an acquittal. The de-

statement, and failed to show that his
wealth was acquired by fortunate
speculation in stocks. The contradic-
ton and the failure to account for his
acquisition Of many thousands of dol
lars while at work in the mint, doubt
less had much weight with the jury.
Then again the fact that at least 49,
600 was stolen from the department Of
which the defendant had charge,
counted against him.

A WINNING COMBINATION.

The political signs now point to a
combination between the Silver men
and the Protectionests.
A special from Washington says:
A conference between the Republican
silver Senators. who voted against
taking up the tariff bill, and Repub-
lican manufacturers is to take place
in this city. The majority of the man.
ufacturers who will he present are
from Pennsylvania. They represent
many millions of capital and include
the principal contributors TO the Re-
publican campaign funds in the re-
cent Presidential campaigns.
The conference grows partly out of
the stand taken by the five Senators
on the tariff hill and their refusal to
allow that bill to be considered with
out a provision for silver, and partly
ont Of the awakening Of the manufac-
turers to the fact that the manufac-
turing interests OF this country are in
great danger from competition from
silver-using countries like Japan,
China and Mexico. Many have come
TO realize that the tariff alone will not
afford them all the relief they must
have.
Consequently they have sought a
conference for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning whether there is not some
common ground upon which manu-
featuring interests and silver advo-
Gates can unite. They realize that
nothing can be done for tariff without
the aid Of the silver Republicans in
the Senate.
Whether they will be willing to go
as far for silver as the Senators de-
mand remains to be seen. The Sen
ators will present Il written ultimatum
and if the manufacturers accept it it
will be given to the country as their
joint platform. Details of the ulti-
matum cannot be given. but it is a
declaration for the linking Of bimet-
allism and protection, bimetallism to
be declared TO near the free coinage
Of silver and gold at a ratio of 16 to l.
1t is believed that the manufacturers
will accept this in the end, though
probably not at this meeting. Fully
half Of them are silver men, and the
others are badly scared.
The last paragraph carries the gist
OF the whole thing. They are BADLY
scared" In other words the bold and
uncompromising stand taken by the
five Western Senators in Congress
has begun to Deal fruit. Nevada fur
nished two out of the five and we cal
attention to the fact that these Sen
ators who action was repudiated by {
p%in-headed and impertlnant Republi
can State Central Committee, are nov
being regarded with favor by the
heavy manufacturers Of the county
who have the sense to recognize thu
impregnable position they are hold
ing. 1t is the only possible way t.
bring the opponents Of free silver t
terms, and is the plan first proposed
by the APPEAL six years ago.
So large a proportion of the Repub
lican party has raised the flag of re
volt, hat the party leaders have be
came alarmed. When the big manu-
facturers make overtures of compro
mise, SO long before election, it means
that the big party leaders will be OF
their knees before the Silver men in
side Of ninety days, and then is tn
time to name the terms of compro
mise.
There should be nothing less thar
free coinage at 16 to l, and the West
ern silver men to be allowed to nam
the Secretary of the Treasury.

BRONN'S GALL.

The gall Of DR.. Brown, the San
Francisco Pastor, lever shone
resplendently than now. After the
council had found him not a Chris
tan, a gentleman or a truth-teller, he
sneaked up to the Associated Press
agency and dictated a dispatch to the
Eastern press, announcing hat he was
exonerated. When caught in the act
he lays the blame on the lawyers.
After the counsel report is in he
gathers a band of his admirers and by
a b~ulldozing vote r%epudiates the find
ings of the counsel. He carried the
vote because the decent members OF the
church remained away and left a clear
field to Brown. Ia the counsel cham
Der he crawled aud whined at the feet
of the counsel whom he is now pre-
tending to walk on.
Tn the light of his recent conduct
n can readily believe the story Of his
.fne work" ia the Stockton episode.
He was embracing the lady in the YES
try and some q came in unexpected
". Brown was equal to the emer-
gency. He pulled Mrs. Stockton over
toward a table where a glass Of water
happened to be standing and began to
baptise her, thus furnishing the Wis
itor with a plausible reason for find
ing Mrs. Stockton in the study at that
hour.

From this table it would seem that
dwellings expenditures were more
than Morriil's but the fact is they were
less. The reason this is true is found
in the following language from LEVEL

made in transcriblng and printing the

$4,000 and in another 81 600.
1t was held that the board could
only draw 81 900, and l transferred So

JUDGE CARVER, the republican can
didate for chief justice of the supreme
court was nominated by the corpora
lions of the state. Chief Justice Mar
TIN, the present chief justice who was a
candidate for denomination, was
slaughtered because he was too elevat-
ed i'll character and too honest to do
the bidding of the corporations of the
state. In Carver they have man who
stands ready and willing to do their
bidding at any and all time regardless
of right and justice. 1t is therefore of
The greatest Importance that the people
OF this great and progressive state go
to the polls on November 3rd determin-
ed to thwart the scheme of corporate
power. In Judge Doster, the Peoples
party candidate, the people have true
and tried friend and man of superior
ability. He has heart that beats in
sympathy with the oppressed poor; his
re cord In life is that of decrying a sys,
tenn of government which has robbed
the laborers and producers of the coun-
try OF what was rightfully their own
and with him on the bench all men will
have an equal chance before the law.

MEXICO AND FREE SILVER.

Our republican friends always point
us to Mexico when showing probable
results of the free coinage of silver in
this country. They tell us that free sill
yer would put us on level with that
country which, by the way, is free
in every imaginative form. But it is
fact worthy of notice that they do not
tell us the truth when they speak about
the condition of the Mexican people. If
we were to take the average republican
for authority, Mexican wages average
about 80 cents per day, the country is
flooded with silver, and other equally
absurd and false statements. People
will believe these statements because
they don't know better, but it happens
some people can't be fooled all the time
and consequently make a personal in
vestigation. We ran across an instance
of this kind wherein one II. l.. Cara
way, an American doing business in
Mexico, went to the trouble to inYesti-
gate the matter for himself, personal
ly, and he makes an affidavit TO
the following statement of facts. The
affidavit originally appeared in the Des
Moines News but it is extensively cop
led and republiShed. 1t is short terse
statement but it shows that the Next
cans, though inferior to the people of
this country and inhabiting a compar-
atively small nation with very limited
resources. are today in more prosper
Gus condition, generally speaking, than
are the people of this country, all due
to the fact that ours is country doing
business under the gold standard sys-

SOME people are inclined to look
upon the Office of probate Judge as un-
important. This IS a mistake Many
trouble could have been averted, es-

present incumbent has held that office
for two years without making a blum

A Comparison,
Showing the Expense OF State Government for the
Fiscal Year Ending in June, 1894, Under Lew
eIling's Administration, and the Fiscal
Year Ending in June 1896, Under
MOrrilPs Administration.

The republican papers of the state
are trying to manipulate figures to
show that dwellings, administration
cost the people of Kansas sos, 9l3 SO
more than MOrrill's administration.
The Cresset, of this city last week pub
lished such statement and tried to
prove it by a table. Such garbling of
figures, Misrepresentation, omissions
of items where the Populist administra-
ton had the better showing, was never
known since the days of Ananlas and
it ought to prove TO all fair minded per-
sons that the Cresset is anything but
reliable and truthful.
We charge that the Cresset's table
published last week is incomplete, gar.
bled and false and the accompanying
table will bear us out in what we say.
This table is correct. It was taken
from the records at Topeka and cannot
be successfully denied.
One item, the governors department,
I'm the table needs an explanation.

SOME weeks since the Cresset and the
kiowa Journal'stated that w. Is. Rack
ley, the republican candidate for coun-
ty superintendent, has first grade GER
titicate. We invited, or rather, re-
quested the editors to examine the rec
ords before speaking again, and it seems
that the former sheet acted in accord
ance with that request; at least it has
not since said that Rackley holds first
grade certificate. But with the Jour.
nal it is different, and last weeks issue
still persists in saying that Rackley
holds first grade certificate which

nothing OF the kind. Rackley holds on

nation of the records and again ask
Brother Glenn to do the same. The
county superintendent says the records
are open to all and if the Journal wants
10 establish its claim let it prove its
