The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-05-13

Kansas people have become habitu-
ated to the Topeka treatment Of con-
ventions and other gatherings held
there. They perfectly understand that
Topeka acts as leech and not as a
host to ali guests who come within her
walls.
But the representatives of the ten
states who attended the interstate ora
torical contest there the other day were
enraged at their treatment, and for
mally passed trenchant resolutions ex-
pressing their dissatisfaction with the
entertainment and support shown by
the city of Topeka" They .censured the
press of the city for the disrespectful
manner in which they represented the
proceedings, and resolved: THAT the
city of Topeka is a place unworthy the
honor of such gathering" These
resolutions are to be spread on the min
utes for a warning ina future years
Kansas people viii understand that
the disgrace is solely Topeka's; but the
other states interested viii reflect the
blame on the whole name Of Kansas
There is no other city in the state
which would have incurred such a re-
proach.-LeavenwOrt Times.
The interstate oratoriccal contest
ought to have gone to Leavenworth, Of
course, where the Leavenworth people
might have got all the students drunk
ia the towns 218 saloonss she also
might have introduced them to the 600
ex-convicts who reside there. Leaven-
worth is nice, clean old town. Just
as if Leavenworth would patronize an
oratorical exhibition The only thing
that can draw a crowd in that rabble
inhabited community is cock fight.
The last time the Women's federation
held a convention there they were
warned by the Leavenworth women not
to go to the hotels as there was not a
hotel in the city that was considered
respectable" They were in actual dan
ger Of being insulted if they took lodg-
ings there. Ask any member Of the
Woman's federation if this isn't a fact.
The organization is never going to
Leavenworth again.

from the floor to the paneled dome A
balcony and a gallery surround three
sides of the hall, and on the other side
is a mammoth platform adorned by a
beautiful bronze lecturn standing ON
marble pedestal, the gift of the Knights
Templars to DR.. Lorimer. Above the
platform is the choir gallery, and rising
back Of that is tier on tier Of the orna-
mental pipes Of the huge organ with
which the church has been equipped
In the whole auditorium there is not
q single pillar to obstruct the view, the
roof Of the vast hall being supported by
huge steel girders, which are hidden by
the ceiling. The color scheme Of the
whole interior is exceptionally artistic.
The walls on the first floor are a rich
pompeiian red; in the balcony and gal
lery they are warm buff, while under
the windows they are a pale green.
There are - Of these windows, each in
closed by pilasters and arches. They
are of stained glass, the designs repre-
senting the 2 apostles. In the spaces
at the top of the windows are inscribed
the names of "a men who have played
prominent parts in the history Of the
Baptist church.
The ceiling is one Of the most beauti-
full features about the structure. It is
divided into deep, octagonal panels, be-
tween which are large pendants In the
center is a panel much larger than the
rest, with q gold sunburst in the mid
die. There are four rectagonal panels
around it, IN which are ventilatOrs.
The ceiling IS done in white and gold
The auditorium is lighted by a big cen
trail chandelier of 40 lights and by %
smaller chandeliers Of u lights each
depending from the ceiling at various
points. Altogether there are 500 lights
in the temple.
Over the platform rises a cOffered
arch, which supports the choir and or
gan lofts
To the right Of the platform is a door
leading to the deacons' room and to the
robing rooms for candidates for bap-
tism- Beyond this room is the baptis-
terry, entered by marble steps and provid-
ed with a gently sloping floor. The
tank is a good big one, lined with en-
ameled terra Gotta, and viii contain
about 2, 500 gallons Of water
Instead Of pews the auditorium is
furnished with big, wide, leather Gov
cred chairs that look particularly easy
and inviting- There are two other halls
in the building-one called L0rimer
hall, which takes the place Of the IA
NOUS Aeionaon, and the other Chapman
hall. The Offices in the upper stories
are occupied by Baptist societies

Democratic newspapers are calling
attention to the fact, as they aulege.
that exports of manufactures have in
creased enormously under the Wilson
act. They neglect to state in this con-
nection, however, that the manufac-
lures are sold to foreigners at a much
lower price than they can be bought for
here at home. This being true it is
difficult to discover any benefit accru-
ing to the American people, as a body.
from the Wilson tariff act. The Dem
ocratic financial policy has brought
matters to such a pass that manufac-
turers must sell largely in Europe if
at all, because home patrons have not
money with which to buy.

Supporters of the gold standard are
always combating an imaginary prop
osition that the fat of the government
viii raise the bullion price of silver to
s1.29 an ounce. This has never been
claimed by free coinage men in the
sense that the gold bugs mention it.
All that is claimed as the result Of re-
storing silver to coinage is that the de-
mand for it for coinage purposes would
increase the bullion value to s129 an
ounce It is the nat Of the govern
ment which operates at present to
make 8741k grains of silver worth a dol
lar when stamped. Under free coin
age it would be worth dollar UNI
stamped or without any nat. 1t would
be governed wholly by the law of sup
ply and demand, as gold is. The de-
mand for it at this price would be un-
varying and lmitless. Nobody could
obtain a greater price; nobody would
accept less.

Reports from the training track at Nor
ris park are very fattering to that plucky
handicap candidate, Sir Walter. He is
said to be In better form than he ever has
been and improving daily. In the practice
spins he shows unusual mettle and speed,
and his appearance is all that could be
wished. He seems to have br0adened and
thiekened out all over. HIS coat shines
like satin. and his muscles are tough as
steel. Altogether the little son Of Mid
lothian may be set down as a very dehnits
quantity in foreaasting the results OF this
year racing season.

WHERE TOPEKA LOSES MONEY
The most useless Office in the state
is that of commissioner of elections.
The city has to blow ia $1,000 a year
which it could wen spend to advantage
somewhere else.
Since the election last spring Com
missioner Of Elections AIcAIaater has
not been in the Office half the time but
his salary goes on just the same. Re
Gently he has been engaged in making
improvements on his house in North
Topeka and does not come TO his office
at all and still the city is compelled to
pay him 500 a month, because Of the
foolishness of the law. Mr.. AIc1Fasters
himself is not particularly to blame
There is no work in the Office to do.
What little there is. is being done by
the deputy, Sherman Williams, but
there is not enough to keep him busy
If tie Office were under control Of the
city clerk, the deputy could do all the
work with a little assistance during
the rush and the commissioner of cleo
tions would not draw a handsome sal
airy for doing nothing.
Since the spring election 125 voters
have been registered. 1t has cost the
city more than 81 for each vote regis
tered since the spring election. Moth
ing can be done now. The council is
powerless and they can only wait the
assembling Of the state legislature,
when the Office may be abolished
Commissioner 0IcOIasters is stin
whooping it UP for Morrill, and he stin
says that he viii carry Shawnee cOun-
ty. The commissioner may be of some
service to Governor Morrill, but he is of
no use to the city of Topeka.

The Methodist church has a separate
young peoples society from the other
churches which it calls the Epworth
league. In the ether churches most Of
the young people are affiliated with the
Christian Endeavor societies AT Cleve-
land, yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Quayle,
once an Auburn Shawnee county, boy,
now pastor Of a Kansas City N. Z.
church. attacked the Christian Endeav-
orers for praying for the conversion of
Bob Ingersou and called their action
idiotic. When one section Of the church
calls another section idiots. we may
look for no general getting together Of
the workers Tor Jesus When they ind
more enjoyment in ealing each other
names than in good works, the inf
