him unconscious and paralyzing the

Fatally Injured.

Jesse Bishop, the 2O-year-old son OF
]. A. Bishop, was thrown from a
horse in front Of the Curtis hardware
store at s o'clock Monday morning
and fatally injured. The young
man was picked up and taken To
Smiths drug store, and later con.
veyed to his home at the corner of F
and TeUth streets.
The boy was galloping the horse
down Main street. When in front OF
the Curtis store the horse stumbled
with his left fore foot. Bishop en-.
deavored to catch himself by grasping
the horses name, but his hold slipped
and he was thrown over the horses

Mr.. Lewelling proclaims to the
world that he is "agin the Pharisees
and must expect the Pharisees to be
agin him." This is a direct bid to
the joint and gambling elements for
their sympathy in his affection. 1t
has come to be common thing for
these elements to call those who op-
pose their avocations, "pharisees.
The inference is that people who
oppose joints and gamblers think
they are "holier" than other people.
Having lost cast with all other peo-
pie Lewelling now places himself
openly in the ranks in which he has
been marching secretly since he
emerged from obscurity. We OBJ
ject, however, to Mr.. Lewelling shift
ing the issue. The movement for
his removal is not one between the
temperance people and the jointists.
1t is simply question as to whether
We shall sustain boodlers in impor-
tant positions or remand them to the
rear ranks where they belong and
where they can not betray the inter-
ests OF the people. Shall people who
protest against boodlers and DOODLE
ism be called "pharisees2" If so
then the VOICE will honor the phar-
isee as a patriot. But dwellings
case, we repeat, is not one upon
which prohibitionists and anti-pro-
hibitionists should divide. All
should be a unit for his removal. II
boodleism shall rule by sanction Of
any class then it will be time TO

The following bit OF information
concerning Bill Hackney will be Of
interest. 1t is quotation from the
report of the Ohio State Democratic
convention.
Chairman Hackney, Of the Cuya-
hoga delegation took the floor for the
first time. He favored the Democrats
nominating their own ticket and
making the platform broad enough
for all to stand upon it. He said:
"When the st. Louis convention
adjourned l was left q political or
phan. When the Chicago convention
adopted its platform l was given a
home. That platform is broad enough
for any man. II any man cannot get
upon that platform let him take his
vote and keep it,"

for reform to naught, in the end.
Why should we have soft words for
man like Lewelling-a man who
has been honored and trusted by the
people who looked upon him as a
leader in relieving them of their sore
expressions, but who instead, despite
his vociferous denunciation of the
corporations, has been going about
in private conniving with them, and
at all times with his imploring palm
extended behind his back. If our
mind is any measure of that Of
the oppressed people they will en-.
terrain nothing but the most derisive
contempt for him, whether they be
prohibitionists or anti-prohibitonists,
christians or infdels. And any ad-
ministration that will keep such
characters in lucrative and response.

power to dispense with their services
will not deserve the continued conf.
dence and respect Of an oppressed

Lewelling gives it out in his
interview that the animus of the
VOICES demand for his removal is
apersonal matter on the part of the
editor of the Voice. Such is not
the case. If Lewelling ever did us
injury personally we have never
found it out. The VOICE was
against him for denomination in
1894 and we are still against him,
because We think he is deficient in
those qualities which go to make up
a safe leader. First, he has not the
capacity for a leader. With all the
prestige of having been governor of
the state he entered the senate last
winter and could easily have taken
front rank and been its leader. if
he had had the capacity, but
instead he made an ignominous
failure of everything he undertook.
Before the session ended he had
earned the contempt of nearly every
member of that BODY. Instead Of
leading out manfully to accomplish
something for the people, as they
had a right to expect, we find him
tripping around in dark corners
working up schemes whereby his
pockets might be profted-instead
OF challenging the fire Of the power.
tul corporations We find him acting
in a manner suggestive that he was
their agent. Added to his in
capacity was that greater deficiency;

The Grafton OF Captain Coney last
Saturday, while it showed the nat
ural antipathy OF the Irish people
toward England, contained a great
deal Of truth, many wholesome warn
ings, and much food for serious
thought. England is cormorant
and always has been, land who are bet
ter qualified to judge Of her than her
,ubjects-the Irish people. Mr.. Co.
ney thinks the English people have
sinister design in pressing this
country at this time for an arbitra-
ton treaty. She has been whipped
in every conflict We have ever had
with her and now she seeks to &C.
complish her ends by diplomacy.
When the devil fails to win by a bluff
he changes his tactics and appears
to his victim in a different color
likewise does England. Having re.
duced this country to the gold stand
ard, with many millions Of debt due
her, she now wants an arbitration
treaty by which she hopes to enforce
her will. Captain Coney was dead
against the treaty, and quoted the
advice ofWashington, Jefferson, Lin
coin and others, on keeping our.
selves free from entanglements with
foreign nations. He showed that
one-half of the national wealth OF
the United States was already owned
by less than $4,000 people, many
of whom spent half their time
and hold half their fortunes in
Europe, and depicted what a tre-
mendous power the people would
have to face to maintain the republic
when the day of reckoning came.
He said he was Republican Of Re-
publicans but that he could not en-
dorse the representation OF this gov
eminent in the queens jubilee
parade. A commander who obse-
quiously rode in such parade would
not be safe man to keep in COM
mand of our troops. This jubilee
was inaugurated and this country
specially invited to participate in it
for the purpose of breaking down
prejudice under the false pretense of
knitting the English speaking people
more closely together. Already it
has been given out that President
Mckinley is to recommend to the
next session Of congress new arbi-
tration treaty. He urged that the
American people must learn that
England is our enemy at all times
not our friend.

The reform papers all over the state
OF Kansas are insisting on the removal
of Senator Lewelling from the board
OF railroad commissioners. Nearly
every county central committee has
passed resolutions TO that effect, and
it remains to be seen whether the
executive council will accede to their
demand. IL is reported that Superin-
tendent Stryker has weakened and
will not introduce a resolution to
remove the Senator, and that he has
been influenced by Governor Leedy;
the report as far as we can learn
emanates from Republican sources
and may not be reliable. Governor
Leedy and the other members Of the
executive council were placed in their
positions by the rank and file Of the
voters OF the Peoples party and we
believe it would be the part Of wisdom
for them to heed the petitions and
protests Of the voters Of the party,
and we believe they will do 1t.

Superintendent Stryker failed to
introduce his resolution for the re-
moval Of Lewelling from the Rail.
road Board. The writer has not
interested himself in this matter be-
yond the comment in these columns.
We have not written to a single
member of the executive council or
to anyone else, nor solicited them
personally, to push this matter
against Lewelling; it is not a per-
sonal matter with us; but we want to
publicly admonish this administra-
ton that If they choose to
ignore the damaging developments
against this man Lewelling, cover up
his shortcomings and sustain him in
a position Of trust, thereby commit
ting the administration to a quasi
endorsement of "boodleism"-in the
face of the defiant attitude of the
fallen, who says the administration
"dares not move for his removal" -
there will be trouble ahead. 1t is
time to speak right out in meetin'.
There are those in the Peoples party
Of Kansas who have an interest in
the welfare Of the party-whose
hopes for posterity are wrapped up
in it-who will not submit 10 see it
pass into the hands Of boodlers and
tricksters without struggle. There
is different spirit stalking abroad
in the land from that which per.
vaded the commonwealth in 1894,
when Lewelling was up for a re-
nomination. Then there was strong
undercurrent against Lewelling-in
fact it may be truthfully said that he
was nominated under protest-but
the sentiment against him was
smothered by the fear that failure
to endorse and vindicate him would
injure the young party. Now there
is an independence of thought and
action prevailing that bodies III to
corruptionists within the party and
to those in authority who have
not the courage to take issue
with them. There is a feeling
manifest that in 1900 the on
ward march Of the peoples move
ment will sweep everything before
it, and that the time intervening
should be spent in Cleaning up"
and putting our house in order.
The people are persuaded that if
such fellows as Lewelling can sur.
vlve and WELD an influence in the
party's affairs regardless of his un-
doubted mercenary infamy, our last
state will be no better than our first,
and that if We would commend our
party to the judgment Of the sturdy,
honest yeomanry OF Kansas we
must show ourselves strong enough
to cast off such characters. Much
less should they be allowed to pub
licly defy our officials who have
the power to make or unmake them.
