FARMERS SORE.
John Brigham, Head of the Ma
tiOnal Grange,
Says Farmers Throughout the
United States
ARE ALL COMPLAINING
No Less in One Section Than
Another.
ARE ALL COMPLAINING
Sure to Have Its Results in Com
ing Elections.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 14-John Brigham
of Delta, o., master of the national
farmers grange, who is now in this city,
speaking of the general condition of the
farmers says: "Over the country there
seems to be a common suffering among
farmers and also very unequal yield of
crops. In some parts of the country the
crops have been heavy but in other sec
tions farmers have been particularly un-
fortunate.
"Prices are lower this year than they
have ever been. The suffering among
farmers all over the country is a great
deal worse this year than it has been for
years. Prices are lower than they
were during the panic of 1898
and 1894 Oats, hay, corn. and
potatoes are not selling for over half the
price that was secured last year. The
farmer who was fortunate enough TO
have large crops is not in an enviable po-
sition and the farmer who suffered by
small crops is worse off. The condition
is not encouraging and cannot see any
indication of future prosperity until
some definite action is taken by the gov
ernment on tariff and monetary ques-
tions.
"The farmers feel that they were
grossly Disseminated against when wool
was placed on the free list and many of
them have suffered from this. The
theory that free wool would benefit us
has not been substantiated by results and
we have suffered from this among many
other things"

POPULISTS MEET.

State Central Committeeman Reach
the city for the Nights Meeting.
The Populists state central committee
meeting which is to be held this evening,
is the first meeting of the Populist lead
ers of Kansas this year and it is a meet
ing of much importance to the party.
There are present besides the fourteen
members of the committee, a number of
the prominent mem bers of the party in
the state, and large number of Populist
newspaper men who are here to attend
a meeting of the Reform Press assoc ia
ton tomorrow.
The real meeting of the committee is
to decide when and where the two state
conventions are to be held, or at least to
discuss these matters.
1t is understood that the first state con-
vention which is TO elect delegates to the
national convention will be a small con-
vention and will be held about the mid
die of March or first of April This con-
vention will probably be held at
Hutchinson. Salina and Abilene
were candidates for convention
cities, but Salina has Withdrawn
and Abilene " antsd the nominating con-
vention or nothing. 1t seems to be the
opinion of the party leaders that Abilene
could not properly take care of SO large
convention and therefore Abilene is not
likely to get either convention.
The state convention to nominate state
officers will probably be held some time
in August following the national conven-
tion. Emporia has big delegation here
asking for that convention and it is very
likely that it will go there.
While this is the real business under
consideration, the politicians of the party
are trying to agree on a suitable candi-
date for governor.

NO MORE OF POLITICS.

One Hundred Leading Chicago Citi-
gems Organize Committee of Safety.
CHICAGO. Feb. 14.-Chicago's commit
tee of safety, which numbers 100, has
begun its war against the combination in
the council. 1t has decided to issue an
appeal to the voters to forget party lines
in local affairs. The committeeFegards
the condition of the city as desperate
and believes that the community is dis
graced in the eyes of the nation, by the
personal and official conduct of its alder
men.
1t was a difficult task to get the 100
together so as to avoid any political COM
binations but it was finally accom- plished,
and last night the committee held its
first meeting. Lyman j. Gage, who
called the meeting to order told the
reason for the public uprising.
Chicago's reputation, he said is at stake.
Its government has teen in the posses
sion of unscrupulous mon. Its council
chambers have been scenes of violations
of trust Its tax systems are wrong and
the revenue insufficient. He believed
the sentiment of the people is for better
things. This new movement, he con-
cluded, seeks men. 1t does not want
politicians who bring national issues to
aldermanic elevations.
The platform which was then pre-
sented after reciting how the committee
had been called together to remedy the
present deplorable condition of the local
government concludes:
"We believe that the great mass of our
citizens and voters desire honest, efficient
and economical local government. We
believe that while in national and per-
haps state politics, government through
political parties is essential and wise, yet
we believe that where either political
party shall fail in presenting proper can
didates for the local offices the people
themselves of such locality have the right
to protect themselves by selecting
proper officers to represent them in such
local Government. We believe that an
earnest and honest effort to remedy the
evils under which we are suffering,
made by the good citizens of this COM
munity, will be as efficient today, as it
has been every period of American his
tory, TO give to this community the hon
est, fair, just, and economical admins
tration of our local governments which
every citizen SO much desires"

FOR LAWS ENFORCEMENT
j. w. GIeed's Circular Letter to Ihe
Committee of Fifty

Mr.. J. W. Gleed, chairman of the com
mittee of five appointed By the recent
conference of temperance workers for
the purpose of selecting q committee
of fifty, to be known as law
enforcement committee, has sent out
circular letter notifying fifty prominent
Kansans, men of all parties, of their ap-
pointment on the COMMITTEES of Fifty and
asking them if they will serve.
In lhis letter Mr. Gleed says: "The
work of this committeA win be (a), to
devise plans for arousing public senti-
mont and making it more effective; Jb).
to aid, counsel, and, where necessary,
to stimulate in every way possible
the public officials directly charged with
the enforcement of the law; ic) to deter
mine what, if any legislation is needed
on the question and to secure its pas
sage, and (d) to take other steps that may
be deemed wise to aid in the mainten-
ance and enforcement of the prohibitory
law.
'But the chief work of this committee
for the present will be to arouse and make
effective public sentiment on the ques-
tion. Public officers charged with the
enforcement of the prohibitory
law divide themselves into three
classes; the willing, the Indifferent.
and the unwilling. 1t is believed that the
first is by far the largest class. Oficisls
of this class deserve active, not
passive support, and their work can
be made both easier and more effective
by the awakening of public sentiment.
An active public sentiment will at the
same time remove the indifference of the
second aud the unwillingness of the third
classes of officials, or if not it will re-
move the officials themselves. The i'm
portance therefore at this junc,ure of
demonstrating the real feeling of the
people on this subject cannot be over
estimated
"It is important that strong, substan-
tial, influential men of the state who be-
lieve in the Enforcement of the law shall
stand at the head of this movement as
far as possible. The mem bers of the
committee will not be called upon to do
any burdensome amount of detail work,
but they will be asked to think of the
matter earnestly and give TO the cause
their eympathy and advice. The detail
work will of course have to be done by
executive committee with such assistance
as that committee may employ.
"You have been selected as a member
of this committee, and your consent TO
serve is earnestly requested. Your
name, inhueace, and counsel will be OF
the greatest service. An effort is being
made to bring the saloon back TO Kansas,
and it is submitted that you ought to AID
this much in repelling the invader"
In concluding the letter, the men Sc
lected as mem bers of the t'committee of
fifty" are asked if they will consent to
serve providing twO-thirds of the men
named on the committee will agree to
act
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-02-14

I got 500 in Topeka, aud did not work
very hard, either.
Just what we expect to raise should
be known, for if the people know that we
want$6 ,000.it will be just as easy to get 1t
as if we say we will raise $1,000 The
people will begin to think about what
their share will be in either case. In
I,eavenworth they have resolved to raise
$4,000 and they started month ago to
raise the money and boom their enter
tainment We can do as we'll.
1t was after Mr.. Edwards made this
speech that his name was added TO the
finance committee.
J. G. Samuelson said that the labor
organizations of the city are all in favor
OF the Fall Festival, and that the cigar
makers have already passed resolutions
declaring themselves to be in favor OF
it. "You may be assured of the co-ope-
ration of the laboring people" said he.
The chairman of the committee, Mayor
c. A Fellows, announced the appoint
ment of the following committees, the
bylaws having provided that the chair
man should be the chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee:

DOUBTS NANSEN'S FIND.
Borcbgrsvink Hesitates to believe That
the North Pole is Found

Borcbgrsvink Hesitates to Believe That
the North Pole is Found.
New YORK, Feb. 14.-One of DR..
Nansen's most intimate friends. an asso-
ciate of his boyhood and a confidante in
all his plans for polar explorations is the
Antarctic explorer, c. E. Borchgrevink,
who is at present lecturing in this coun-
try
Mr.. Borchgrevink returned from Bos-
ton last night, and with Lieutenant
Peary. was guest of member of the
Brooklyn Geographical society at the
Hamilton club Talking to a reporter
about the news from DR.. Nansen. Nr.
Borchgrevink said: II cannot believe il.
No one would be more glad than myself
if Manson had succeeded. but the fact
that the news comes from Siberia, makes
me discredit it.
"All this is in direct opposition to DR..
Nansen's plans as he disclosed them to
me. His intention was, if he reached
the pole, to cross it and
come back by way of Greenland This
news indicates that he is returning by
the same route that led him towards the
pole. 1t seems preposterous when one
considers the possibilities that would be
sacrificed and the indomitable courage
of man like Nansen. He would go on,
on, on, and not turn back, and send news
home by way of Siberia"

ACTOF ANINHUMAN BRUTE
Pushes a Man Down in Front of a Moving
Engine.

Engine.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Feb. 14-Ed-
ward B. Masterson, usher at the Penn
svlvania railroad station in this city
was deliberately pushed in front
of a train last night, and was so
shockingIy injured that he died an hour
later. The mans body was horribly
mangled, both legs were cut off and mis-
skull fractured.
Thomas E. Donlan of Philadelphia, who
caused Masterson's death, attempted TO
escape, but was seized by several
witnesses of the accident and taken to
the police station. In the angry crowd
were several who attempted to do him
injury but were kept away.
Hasterson WAS standing at the edge OF
the platform and about foot from the
rails warning passengers of the approach
of a fast freight. just as a switch engine
was fastening past to get into the yard
ahead of the freight, Donlan attempted
to cross the tracks. Hastily seizing him
Masterson tried to force the man back.
He became angry and jerk
ing himself free gave the
usher a sudden push, which sent him
headlong to the track in front of the
passenger train.
Masterson made a frantic effort to
crawl back to the platform, but before
he could escape the wheels were upon
him.
