GALL CAN GET WORK.
Is What We Say, but We DON'T Let
Them Try to Get it in Topeka.

This morning at $50 o'clock Police
Judge Atchison leaned back in his easy
chair behind the old desk in the police
court room and drew a long breath.
Then he said: Proceed gent1emen4'
City Attorney w. A. s. Bird placed his
of the Jail book rapidly and said: Bring
out Chas. Conk1in and Chas. Keefer." :"
In a moment two young men walked in
to court in old, shabby clothes. Their
faces wore a careless look and their
eyes had that unsatisfactory habit of
never looking straight at questioner.
They each pleaded guilty. Chas. Conk-
lin, aged "a years, stepped up to the
judges desk and twirled: his old hat in
his hands. 81 am guilty. said he, '"but
I would like to tell my story" Judge
tAchison and Mr. Bird nodded.
81 was walking along the street yes
terday: It was Sunday and my clothes
were shabby. so went on a side street.
I had only been here three hours, when
I was arrested. have lived in Chicago
for ten years I used to work in the
finery and when L lost my job started
west. I tried to get a job in Kansas
City, but they didn't have any positions
to give. I paid my fare to Topeka and
hoped to get something here. IF you
will let me go, I will get right out of
town. I have friends in Denver and I
will go to them. I am poor boy and
I've got trade, but it's mighty hard to
get work these days."
Chas. Keefer, aged IS years, stood up
and in a timid voice said: ct will plead
guilty, too. I wanted to find work and
was walking on a side street with this
fellow when we were arrested
Judge Atchison said: ''I will discharge
you. Get out of town as soon as possi-
BILE" City Attorney Bird in voice of
authority said: s'We'Il let you go now
get out as soon as you can"
Chief Steele-Yes get out, for if you
are caught here inside of an hour and
half I will give, you a job.
The two misera BILE young men walked
away toward the railroad. This is the
way society handles the labor problem.
We say, "Oh, yes, everybody can get
work if he wants it, t,"but we always ex-
pect him TO get it somewhere else.

prospective candidates for governor
have been requested for a definition of
their position with reference to the Cy
Leland's slate-makers by inquiring vot-
ers in various parts of the state.
None of these gentlemen have replied
publicly to these requests for infornna-
ton but one of them said to a Journal
reporter:
while do not care to mix up in this
light at this time there is a very gen
eral disposition to organize the party in
the next campaign without consulting
the wishes of Mr.. Leland or any of his
supporters 1 believe they will succeed
in accomplishing this purpose too.''
The four men named as gubernatoriaI
possibilities claim to be against Lee
lands dictation of the policies of the
party and the distribution of the offices
in the state. They decline to discuss
the proposition for publication.
At Wichita the Republicans are in
dignant at Leland and the Wyandotte
county members of the party, Confident
that the interference of Mr.. Leland and
the state administration in the affairs of
that county two years ago was respon-

ticket last fall, are only waiting for a

Wichita. Aug. 23.-William Jennings
Bryan will be here on Friday, October
1. He will be brought here by the
Wichita State Fair association. Secre-
tary To1er yesterday received a letter,
dated at Riverside, Hamilton, Montana,
in which he said he would positively be
here.
Mr.. Bryan will deliver two addresses
ON the one day he is here. One speech
will be made in the afternoon at the fair
grounds and the other will be made at
night in the Auditorium. Both lectures
will be under the control of the fair as
sociation. What the topic will be is left
to Mr.. Bryan, and will probably be on

If the Committee of Fifteen so de-
sire, they can engage Mr.. Bryan for one
day of the Fall Festival, asking him to
make non-partisan speech. He could
very easily stop here ON September 80
on his way to Wichita. John j. Ingalls,
should be invited for the same day.
Thus both political parties would be

NEW MEN.
w. Il. Mcbride Says the Old Manipu-
Iators Should Retire.

w. H. Mcbride, ex-superintendent of
insurance, who has formed law part
nership with Ex-Governor Humphrey at
Independence and has removed his fam
ily from Osborne to that place, says:
THE Republicans of Kansas in the
next state convention should be very
careful in making nominations. I am
opposed to the nomination of any of the
old gang. want to see new men NOM
inated-men who have not been mixed
up with the factions now attempting to
boss Kansas politics. I am also op-
posed to the nomination of men for any
office who are attorneys fer trusts or
corporations. sincerely hope that the
old crowd of manipulators will stand
aside for the good of the party next year
and permit us to inject new methods
into the mana cement of the party'S af-
fairs. Hudreds of Republicans think
just as I do said Mr.. Mcbride, - if
they don't say so publicly, and my pre-
diction is that the days of gang rule
and domination of bosses among KAN
sas Republicans are at an end.

holders of the past who should not be
recognized in the future added Mr.
Mcbride. ''I do not want my friends to

WHY 1T WAS DROPPED.
The North and South Railroad Con-
vention at Omaha

The announcement by Senator Geo.
Campbell of Labette county that the
North and South railroad conference
at Omaha, September 2, had been post
poned, was not accompanied by the de-
tails of the causes which made such
action unnecessary.
He told Gov. Leedy all about the diff
f1culty which the scheme encountered.
Kansas took the first steps in this
matter and a joint resolution was pass
ed by the legislature, the memorial be-
ing sent to Lincoln, where it was pre-
Sented to the legislature, asking for
cooperation on the part of the Ne
braska people. Gov Holcomb deputiz-
ed Warwick Saunders of Lincoln to act
as commissioner from that state, and
he attended the meeting of the commit
teees at Oklahoma City.
When it was decided to hold a con-
vention he telegraphed to Omaha's
commercial club, and the secretary,
John E. Utt, without consulting the
club, teIegraphed an offer of reduced
railroad and hotel rates, accompanied
by guarantee to cover the expense of
printing and sending out the report of
the convention.
Now Mr.. Utt, after discovering that
he negotiated trouble to the amount of
$4,000, admits his inability to carry out
the contract, and the conference has
been declared off, the club refusing to
stand behind him.

Ex-senator PETER Says He Believes

Ex-senator w. A. PETER was inter-

He said:

William J. Bryan is in the storm
center of a great disturbance, but that
storm center is going to move, and un-
less Mr.. Bryan brOadens out it will leave
him high and dry.
Tine silver question is not the only is
sue of Importance which confrontS the
American people. 1t is not even the
most important one. Free silver alone
cannot accomplish anything more than
to give us a little more money. Before
we agitate the financial question we
must find work for the million and more
men who are robb1ng and running our
homes, tramping over the country and
committing murder in despair because
they cannot get work to do. They must
be looked after. / am not an Anarchist,
but I am with Debs and Doster. I be-
heve in Socialism, because it is opposed
in every way to anarchiSm. / want to
build up things, not to tear them down.
Mr.. Bryan must change. Free silver
alone will not carry him through"
'+Win Mr.. Bryan be the candidate in
1900?' was asked.
Don't ask me that. Nineteen hum
dred is three years off. What may hap
pen before then no one knows
OF the recent session of congress he
said:
THE session was called to pass a tar
if law. A tariff law was passed. And
such one as it was.
Il once called a high protective tariff
farce. 1t is a fatal stroke. The busi-
ness OF the country will revive for a
while, just because the question is set
tied Then it will fall back into the
same old rut. We must have a new
party. 1t must be composed of all who
are opposed to gold standard and gold
legislation. I would call it the Nation
al party, but it's name makes no diff
ference. The object is what counts, and
the interests of the people at large must
be championed, not the interests of
few capitalists"
Then Mr.. PETER began to talk about
Speaker Reed.
Let them call Reed a tyrant," he
said. 1T takes a tyrant to rule such a
brawl as the house of representatives.
II takes arbitrary rulings and force
Four hundred men, jumping up at the
same time and demanding that they be
heard, can be quieted only by a tyran-
nical man.
