1T PAYS TO BE PARTICULAR.

THE feeling among Republicans, with
out exec ption, is that any Republican is
acceptable after four long and weary
years of the Cleveland administration.
A reversal of the present administration
policy-a change is demanded, not only
by Republicans but by most of the Demo
Gratis as we'll. The people are anxious
that the next president shall be a Re-
publican and far less care who he is
They feel abundantly assured that if he
is Republican, all will be well.-Great
Bend Register
This don't care who" feeling is what
has brought the people to grief SO many
times. While Republican is desirable,
"any sort of a Republican" won't meet
the emergency, now. There are too
many kinds of Republicans. There are
Republicans who have on their necks the
yoke of Wall street. Certainly nobody
wants this kind. There are Republicans
who care nothing for the interests of the
west and look on the east alone, with
kindly eye. This kind of Republican
will not fill the bill
'Any kind of Republican will do''
was the cry when GovernSr Morrill, was
elected, and yet we now see the party
widely split. If the wrong kind of a
president is nominated and elected by
the Republicans this time, he will bring
down on his party the ruin and disgrace
that Cleveland has brought upon the
Democracy. Mark these wordsl

of the Gazette a judge should always
shape his opinions SO as to please his
friends and in the interests of his party.
As everybody is ready to agree that
Judge Martin is not that kind of judge,
that seems to settle the whole matter if
we are to view it from the Emporia
standpoint. Some of Judge Martins
shortcomings are enumerated. One is
that he has permitted John W. Breiden-
thai to retain the office of bank commits
sioner when he had it in his power to
throw him out and make room for Re-
publican. 1t is not urged by the Gazette
that Mr.. Breidenthal is not entitled to
the office or that he has not discharged
his duties in a faithful and efficient man
ner. His only fault is that he is Pop
ulist. What are Republican judges for
if not to get offices for members of their
party when they have an opportunity

In was but short time ago that she
(Topeka) had both United States sena-
tors And nobody is now denying her
right to Il delegate at-large. But her
demand for the national committeeman
would seem hoggish in any other place,
as was her successful hogging of the
craftsmanship of the board of railway
commissioners. Wichita Eagle.
Topeka couldn't help it that she had
two United States senators. Topeka gave
5000 majority for a Republican senator;
it was the rest of the state that did the
business. Marsh Murdock's rebellion"
that he is so proud of. did part of it.
There's another thing: The Eagle is per-
petually whooping about offices that it
doesn't get, yet Wichita never puts for
ward any candidates. If it wants the ma
tional committeeman why doesn't it rot
him out?

In recent issue of his lola Register,
Senator Charles F. Scott, grows both in
dignant and eloquent in contemplation
of the successive bond issuea Senator
ncott should not get excited or complain.
He has been consistent advocate of the
gold standard and it is a law not yet re-
psaled-that as We sow so shall we reap.
Since the resumption of specie payments
there has been no treasury deficit no i'm
poverished gold reserve, no issues of
bonds until the repeal of the Sherman
law and the adoption by the government
of the policy of paying ita obligations in
gold alone. Senator Scott upholds this
policy and advocates it in his paper; he
should accept the inevitable cSnse-
quences without a murmur. The drain
of gold. the treasury deficits. and the
consequent issues of bonds can all be
stopped whenever the secretary of the
treasury sees fit to discharge his sworn
duty. It is not even necessary that the
house should pass the senate fres coinage
substitute. That is measure which is
intended merely to restore prosperity to
the country.

way
The committee of fifteen" met at the
council chamber last night but nothing
definite was accom- lished for the reason
that the committee finance has not
yet prepared a plan to raise funds. The
chairman of the committee, u. J Green
valid, was present and said that on &C.
count of his business he had been unable
to call meeting of the committee and
so nothing has been done to formulate d
plan Cor raising funds.
G. S. Downing, a member of the
finance committee, asked to be excused
from serving, but his resignation was
not accepted.
There ara some of the members of the
committee of fifteen who have not at
tended the meetings. and the secretary
was instructed to write to the abse ntees
10 ascertain whether they desire to serve
on the committee.
A resolution to have stationery printed
called upthe question of a name for the
entertainment and reunion to be given
next fall.
81 think it is understood" said c. S.
kind of festivities as we'll as a reunion
and l think it is time we adopted
name"
C. P. Adams said: 81 think it would
be appropriate to offer prizes and have
names suggested from which we might
select the most appropriate.
oscar Krauss said: Il do not kuo w
that l understand the purposes for which
this committee was selected. Thought
thatsit was for the purpose of securing
the reunion aud nothing else and that
the Commercial club was TO attend to
whatever else might be held"
Capt. c. H Titus said: ut is under
stood that this committee has been ap-
pointed to secure some kind of an enter
tainment in Topeka and while the pri-
mary object is to secure the reunion there
must also be something else in the way
of entertainment This committee is not
going to lie down if we fail to get the
the reunion. We have been appointed
to see that Topeka has something to at
tract the people next sfall and that is
what we will do If it is a failure we
will go down with it and if it ia success
we will have the glory.
1t was then agreed that the com mittee
should have stationery printed for tenn
porary use until after the Beloit meeting
when it will be known whether Topek d
is to have the rennion or not.
H M. Phillips of the executive COM
mittee, reported that he had been
assured by the board of county commits
sioners that the fair grounds will be re-
served for the committee.
Several propositions to furnish badges
were read and referred to committee.

EAGLE SCREAMS FOR TOM.
The Wfehita Morning Paper Says Some
Kery Kind Words for Mai: Anderson.

The Wichita Morning Paper Says Some
Very Kind Words for Maj Anderson.
NEWTON, Feb. 21.-Ameng the COM
plimentary notices of Major T. J. An
derson's candidacy for delegate
at-large is the following strong one
from the Wichita Eagle:
One of the Justly popular men of Kan
sas, popular with his neighbors and pop
uldr with the state at large, popular in
every annually recurring campaign, aud
popular the year through, is Major
Thomas ]. Anderson, of Topeka. He has
lived in Kansas all his life, practically,
and has been a Republican for every
year he has lived in kansaa, not an ordi-
nary every day Republican, voting the
straight ticket every fall, but an
enthusiastic working Republican, a
1ambeau- faring Modoc singing party
man, asking nothing at the hands of his
comrades except good fellowship, and ii
like loyalty to the cause. Ever since his
father was state treasurer, away back in
the early sixties, Tom has been on deck,
politically speaking, and there can hard
ly be named prominent public Kansas
man of the present or past who does not
owe Tom Anderson gratitude for some
good turn or another. True in his
friendship, answering for the right, and
honorable in all his business life. he has
become power.
These are some of the reflections which
came to Us as watched the tall tami-
liar form of him whom we are speaking
swim ging along one of the thorough
fares of Wichita yesterday in company
with some of his brother delegates to the
Masonic Grand Lodge now in session.
Because of late unlocked for develop
ments, Major Anderson promises to be-
come political factor of prominence
in the next campaign. The emergency
alluded TO induced his friends at Topeka
TO solicit him 10 become candidate for
deleg ate-at-large to the national Repub-
licau convention at 81. LOUIS
Without entering into the de-
tails of the reasons fog his candidacy
further than to say it grew out of pro-
test on the part of many Republicans of
this city and district against being COM
PEELED to array themselves on one side or
the other of a purely personal contest,
existing between two gentlemen. there
can be no question touching his fitness or
availability. Aside from his we'll known
leanings towards the presidential aspira-
tons of the Buckeye giant, and his devo-
ton to his party, Tom Anderson possess
es the elements desirable in a delegate in
a great convention. Quick at catching
on to the drift of q situation, prompt,
impulsive and of commanding figure
he is the making of an ideal head for a
| delegation. We do not know that his
candidacy involves the Kansas member
ship to the national committee, but we
have no hesitancy in saying that he is as
we'll equipped for the acceptable dis
charge of the duties of such position as
either of the other gentlemen seeking
| the honor. That in the event of home
Endorsement he will get the solid support
of this section of the state for deleg ate at
large to St. Louis we have not the least
doubt

that c. w. Trickett was to have no oppo-

Here is an item it will be we'll for soma
of our people to remember who are al
ways bowling for resubmission. During
the time that Kansas had open saloons
the population in the penitentiary
reached over 1000. Since prohibition
went into effect the number has de-
creased to $685. and 1OS of these are fed

THE Emporia Gazette has made dis
covery. 1t is that the supreme court has
been weakened by the election of Chief
Justice Martin. It is asserted by the
Gazette that this is the opinion of the
lawyers of Kansas. 30 names are men,
toned, but as the same article in which
these statements are found contains the
announcement of the presence in EN-
poria of Nelson Case, it is but fair to
presume that he ia one of them. One of
the chief objections to Judge Martin, &C.
cording to the Gazette, is that he renders
opinions which enbarrass his friends
and his party. It seems that in order to
meet the approval and win the support

SLAUGHTER OF TREES

None but the Best Ones Being Left Stand
ing in State House Square.
There will be but few of the trees now
Standing on the state house grounds left
when the force of men under Superin
tendent Naylor get through with their
work.
The state executive council some time
ago adopted the plans for the improve
ment of the grounds prepared by Mi. W.
w. Parce of Rochester, New York and
the work now being done is in accord
ance with those plans.
On account of a lack of funds the ex-
ecutive council will attempt to beau
tify but half of the grounds this summer
and the south side of the square is to re-
ceive the work.
All the box elders, catalpas and locusts
are being cut down and when the roots
are grubbed out the grounds will be
plowed and graded.
When the grading is completed new
trees of choice varieties will be set out
A row of elms is to be set out next to the
curbing all around the square. These
trees are to be forty five feet apart and
similar row the same distance apart will
be set inside the grounds next to the
street.
A row of elms will be set ont on either
side of the drive leading from Van Buren,
street to the south entrance and on the
north the entrance will be set with syca-
mores. A sycamore is a tree that has
one leaf to six square yards of bare
branches
When the plans are carried out there
will be eighty different varieties of trees
and shrubs growing on the state house
grounds.
From the east to the west entrances of
the grounds there will be a thirty foot
drive around the buildings passing und T
the steps on the north and south. Separ-
ated from this by an eight foot turf
where flowers are to be planted, will be
fifteen foot walk set with curbing and
made of crushed stone finished
with gravel At the two cor
ners of the south steps there
is to be on either side of the drive a de-
pressed lawn about one hundred feet in
length by fifty feet wide.
The band stand will be removed i'm
mediately, and application will be made
to the next legislature for the removal of
the arsenal and the frame building now
occupied by the state board of public
works.
