the cigarette when she was detained in
the Turkish lines, whittier she went in
connection with the work of the Red
Cross society. in order to see if it would
allay the pangs of hunger. The exper-

Botkin In Camden, New JERSEY

j. L. Richards of Winfield forwards
his subscription to the VOICE and
enclOses the following clipping from
a Camden, IN. j. paper:
The big auditorium os the P. R.R.
T. NJ, e. A. of Camden was COM
fortaoly filled yesterday afternoon by
railroad men, their families and
friends to listen t. an address by
Congressman j. D, Botkin, of Kansas.
Seated upon the platform with the
association officers and tue speakers for
the afternoon were Mayor Westcott
and Judge Z. A. Armstrong. After
a service Of song and prayer, Secretary
Willard introduced Judge Armstrong.
who was to introduce the sneaker.
Mr., Armstrong made neat speech.
In which he said that Kansas did
some strange things, for he had
learned that Congressman Botkin
was a regular ordained Methodist
Episcopal preacher, and that it was
with great pleasure he introduced
the Rev. Hon. j. D. Botkin, of Kan
Sas.
Mr.. BOtkin's talk was a Main,
practical Gospel sermon, and all dur.
ing his delivery he was listened Ia
with rapt attention. The speaker

the street, and reminded him of his
presence al the place and time
mentioned. He recalled it easily and
we asked him if he remembered il
anything was said about the high
school law? 1T was not mentioned, "
said Mr.. Elliott; mot one WORD was
said about it," Readers of the VOICE
OF course know that Mr.. Elliott is a
Republican. He is borne out in this
statement by O. j. Hackney. Ed.
Hackney does not recall any such
statement ever having been made at
any time. Mr.. Carver says he was
not present in the room when this
company was present. Gee. H.
Hunter and Others say the statement
was not made in the presence of
the later gathering referred to.
The VOICE has referred to this
matter at length not wholly in defense
of the editOr-fOr that Is Unnecessary
-bnt in order to maintain the repu-
tatiOn of the Pig alley gentleman as
being the champion liar on earth.
Concerning our connection with the
high school law we bave only this to
say; We had nothing whatever 80 do
with its passage. We never talked
with Hackney, Senator FOrneY or
any one else except Mr.. Harbaugh,
concerning it. We were in total
ignorance Of the high school law
which has been on our statutes
several years and knew but little OF
the law that was passed, while it was
pending. We were taking no interest
in it whatever. While in Topeka Mr..
Harbaugh and the writer walked out
to attend the funeral of c. b. Fish,
Thursday, Feb. II. On the road Mr.,
Harbaugh mentioned several bills
that were pending and inquired what
we thought Of them. He asked that
we call attention in the VOICE to two
or three of them, the high school
bill being one of the number on which
he was undecided, and ask people to
write to him concerning them. We
agreed to do so. We remained in To-
peka until Friday night, came home
and attended citizens meeting in the
council chamber Saturday night and
was sent back to Topeka Monday by
said meeting to labor for the location
Of the asylum. We remained in
Topeka until afternoon of Tuesday,
the 10th, when we went to Kansas
City by previous engagement and
embarked for Port Arthur. Our time
was all occupied and we neglected to
call attention in the VOICE to these
bills until it was too late. We are
blamable for neglect and we are
abundantly able to hear that under
the circumstances, but whenever
Andy Richards or any one else says ii
was designed on our part they are soar
ing in the realms of falsehOod.

Fusion Figuring in Kansas.

to the Kansas City Star as follows,
concerning the proposed fusion deal
next fall:
"The proposition to turn down J.

Democrat, has opened the entire
question of fusion between the Popu-
lists and Democrats in 1898. 1t is

not have carried Kansas, and the

They are ready to cOncede that the

and the proposition to nominate
Oyermyer for COngreSSman-at.large is

in addition to cOngreSsman-at-

DR.. Dingley starts g.oOmily by
recalling all Vie optimistic predictions
made during the campaign To the
effect that the mere election OF
Mckinley would "restUre" good times.
He even denies that anybody believed
this saDguine statement, though as
he, Mr.. Mckinley, John Sherman and

repeatedly made the same assertions,
we are forced, by Dr. Dingleys late ST
announcement, TO the conclusion that
the public accepted the statements
of all these shining lights of Republic

The veTacity of a Republican
politician, however. can not be very
seriously discussed. What interests
us more than the confession that he
is universally taken for a romancer,
is DR.. Dingley's dOleful report of the
situation. Prosperity, he declares,
has not come, 1t was thought for a
while to be returning, but that proved
mistake. Good times are prevented
by the pending tariff bill, instead of
being brought back by it.
Not only that, but prosperity is not

The STATE CAPITOL.
Agitation Or the Question Of Removal
From Charleston.

Senator Commodore Dotson
arrived home to day from
Charleston, where he has been
working with a committee, in
vestigating the public printing
contracts since the Legislature
adjourned.
The Senator, who is a member
of the commission to revise the
State constitution which body
will begin that work on the 14th
inst, was asked if there was any
truth in the report that the COM
mission will be asked to recon-
mend to the Legislature the re-
moval Of the capital of the State
from Charleston.
He replied that there is a
movement on foot for that pnr-
pose and that great pressure
will be brought to bear on the
commission to make that recon-
mendation, and that several mem
bers of the commission had al
ready expressed themselves as
being favorable to such a propo-
sitiou.
There are many reasons that
are being urged in support of
such move, and the majority of
them are good ones.
There seems to be a growing
sentiment amongst the people
that the capital is wrongly locat-
ed in a city that bears not the
slightest resemblance of a CAPT
tai city and whose railroad facili-
ties are extremely poor and
whose location is strongly against
it.-Stdte Journal.
