Boyle is in Demand.

FORT SCOTT, KAN, Oct. 13.-The success
with which Attorney General Boyle has met in
the several big and important cases with which
he has had to deal in the past year has made HIM
much in demand among the Popuist county
committees of the state for work in this falls
campaign.
This reminds his friends here of his phenom-
nal success as campsigner in this county.
He came here fresh from Ann Arbor in 1889
and had hardly been here year until he was
elected county attCrney-an office which in this
county had not been occupied by other than a
Republican in twenty years. He led his ticket
by several hundred votes. On one occasion he
headed procession of torches, band wagons
and transparencies to Garland from this city,
drawn there by Congressman Funston, and they
followed him to a school house mile distant,
where he relieved himself of some of his fiery
eloquence. Then lie went back and shook hands
with the Congressman and convinced him and
his followers that he didn know that he was to
speak there that evening.

Mrs. Lease on the Stump.

NEW YORK, Oct. II.-Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
Lease has come to New York from Kansas to
work for the election of Henry George. She
has brought with her opinions of some of the
mayoralty candidates
"Gen. Tracy" she says, "represen ts the
bondholding class, great trusts and combines
that have manipulated congress and bribed the
senate at will, and as their candidate must nee
essariiy be obnoxious to those who are viewing
with justfable alarm the ascendency of the in
dividual over the interests of the public.
"Mr. Low, as view the sltuation," she con-
tinued "is being put forward by the corporation
wolf who is clothed in sheepskin, but whose
fangs are nevertheless visible and keenly felt.
Under the pretence of law and morality the
members of the Citizens Union, which nomi-
mated Mr.. Low, discriminate between the rich
and poor, and while they persecute and unirstly
discriminate against the man with blisers OH
his hands, they take off their hat and make
snobocratic obeisance to the man with blisters
on his character.
"Henry George is not the representative
of any political party, clan or ism, she
said. "In the great struggle now going on be-
tween the millions who have not enough to eat
and the plutocratic few who have million times
more than their craven bodies deserve; in the
great struggle between human greed and human
freedom, Henry George stands as fearless ex-
ponent and defender of human rights-the
white soul and dauntless champion of oppressed
humanity, wherever found--his victory will be
victory not only for the city-the plundered
people of New York-but for the toilers through
out the world. That is all l have to say about
the candidates.
~ am deeply in earnest" she continued,
"and shall work night and dav for Mr. George,
lecturing and writing. Tomorrow shall begin
speaking in Harlem, and shall lose no oppor
tunity thereafter to address the voters of New
York"
While Mrs. Lease believes in women at other
times, just now she is contented to have them
occupy back seats. She will neglect their po-
litical educ: ton entirely during this visit to
New York and conhne her attention solely to
the men.
OTIS waste Of time trying to talk to them,
like some women's clubs are doing" said she.
81 shall try to reach the heart of the voters d.
rect, not through their female relatives. Women
have nothing to say yet, and can take no part
in politics. Educate them between campaigns;
leave them alone during campaigns"

Mr.. Bryan as a Partisan.

When the question was raised last year
"Wil Mr.. Bryan accept the Populist nomina-
tion?" the Advocate said he would not and ex-
pressed the opinion that he ought not to do so,
because he was not of Our party; that he was
Democrat-the candidate of great party, a
party not in sympathy with Populism, and that
to accept the Populist nomination or to show
any special leaning toward that party would
cost him thousands of votes in his own party.
Mr.. Bryan, with honor to himself and to all
concerned, has uniformly and persistently kept
within his party lines. His counsel is always
on the side of his party, and when he adjusts
quarrell as he did at the late triple convention
in his own state, he always does it in the inter-
est of the Democratic party Among the many
sterling qualities of this brave young leader is
his sincere partsanship. While his Populist
admirers have often said: "Bryan is good
enough" Populist for them, and while the
writer of this has said many times that Bryan
is at least with us in the spirit and ought to be
with us in the fesh," yet, all who know him
and are familiar with his views and plans and
purposes feel sure that he has no desire to
abandon his party for any other; that he is not
only satisfied with his party affiliations, but
that his ambition is to get the Democrat party
into power again, and his sincerity nobody ques-
tions.
AS showing his zeal for his party, and as evil
dence that he believes in parties and party gov
eminent, we give III another place copy of his
letter to friend in New York City in relation
to the pending campaign there for first officers
under the charter for the government of
the consolidated cities
1t will be seen from that letter that Mr.. Bryan
is partisan to the strictest sect He does not
believe in mixing people in politics; he opposes
tcitizens unions and other bodies outside OF
regular party organizations. Hesays "the issue
is the life of the party" that to alter or deduct
from the declarations of the assembled party is
mortal injury" And he concludes his COM
munication by saying-"Nor have battalions
which have fought, now on one side, and now
on another, now shoulder to shoulder DIS friends,
now bayonet to bayonet as enemies, place in
honorable war"
The Advocate commends this letter to its
readers as good medicine for the back. Mr..
BRYAN will accept aid, but he husbands his own
resources with the skill of great commander.
He is builder-on Democrat foundations

IN NEBRASKA.
Mortgages Released.

prominent Hebron man came into our office
last Monday morning and produced from his
pocket a little slip of paper which told the fol-
lowing story:
SHERIFF'S SALES.
Published in the Hebron papers for week end
ing Sept. IS, 1897.
Republican, 8....................S 22,93I.43
Journal, Observation-Disclosures. 2o,II3.7o
Register, 2................ 2,434.9o
Total I5..... ............$ 5,4So.oS
His explanation was this way: 81 had
glanced at the editorial page of the Republican
and found so much bosh about prosperity
that it made me mad can't understand how
people can be such darned liars and look honest
men in the face. In disgust turned to another
page and what should l find there but nearly
whole page of notices of sherff's sales That
struck me as rather queer stuff to back up their
claims about "prospeIity." I went to figuring
it over and found there was eight notices, all
from one firm of lawyers here in Hebron, and
amounting to $22,931.43. Then, thinks |, III
see what the Journal has. | found tive notices
in it, amounting to $2o,1I3.7o. In the Regis
ter found two notices amounting to $2,434.95.
Now don't that make darned nice show of
prosperity? Fifteen sheriff's sales amounting
to SAs,48o oS don't know how many the
other papers in the county advertise. How
many has the Champion got?"
As the Champion has always opposed that
kind of prosperity we are not popular with the
mortgage holders; and as we don't owe the at
torneys anything (severa Of them are back on
their subscriptions), they won't favor US, so we
had none to report.
When the sheriff's sales are confirmed and
deeds issued, it will be the duty of the district
clerk to execute certificate of satisfaction. These
will be recorded and then the Republicans will

THERE has occurred a serious breach between

greatly embarrassed his party. All are angry,

Wilson, "nor subscribe to a doctrine which per-
mits the exercise by the courts of the extraor-

THE Westphalia Times says that more inter

The have no scheme on hand at all, Fweddy,
deaf The scheme is OH the other side. When
a certain Republican (who is supposed to have
no personal interest in the matter) is willing to
spend 81 900 of his own CD money to elect
John Herman commissioner, it looks like
there was scheme. When the Republican
bosses are willing to trade off every other can
didate on their ticket to secure Herriman's
election, it looks like scheme, don't il? You
see, our railroad bonds are likely to be refund
ed pretty soon, and there may be chance
for nice little rake-of, you know. 1t

GREAT FALLS WATER RIGHTS.
Col. Elliott OppOscd to the Bill I'm It's
Present shape.


Col. Elliott. retired. formerly in charge of
the aqueduct, said this morning TO a Star
reporter as to the bill pending in the House
for the acquisition of the water rights at
Great Falls:
THE bill for the acquisition of the water
rights at Great Falls, if it passes the
House, will be. in my judgment against
the interests of the United States and the
District Of Columbia. The original bill pro-
vided for the acquisition of all the rights
that the United States did not own. These
rights We're the Great Falls Manufac turing
Company and Chesapeake ard Ohio Canal
Company. The bill, as II has been amend
ed, excepts the water rights of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal Company. In my
view the bill, in its present shape is very
prejudicial TO the public interests. As un-
derstand it. the Great Falls Manufacturing
Company has very little OF the water rights
at Great Falls that is not claimed by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. So
that, in effect, If this bill should pass, the
United States and the District of Columbia
Jointly would be authorized to purchase
and pay large sum for lawsuit, which
would take many years to settle. In max

and advocated to the best of my ability the
purchase of the entire rights, that they
could be Immediately utilized and there
would be no danger Of delay by future COM
plications in the shape Of lawsuits. In the
passage of this bill through Congress my
This. however. is very different bill from

AP POINTED TODAY
Miss Maud Stalnaker Given Clerkship in
the State Department.
Was Rejected by the AdJutnnt Gen.
ernl Because She Couldn't
Climb a Ladder.

Miss Maud StaInaker of this city, who
was recently denied ar appointment in
the adjutant generals Office, War Depart
ment. was today appointed a clerk at 81 .2UO
in the bureau of statistics, State Depart
ment. The Secretary of State made requist-
ton upon the civil service commission for
the clerkship in the statistical bureau, and
four persons-Miss Stalnaker and three
gentlemen-were certified by the commission
as possessing the required qualifications
as demonstrated by competitive examina-
ton. The duties of the Office require a
knowledge of English, French, German and
Spanish, and it was desired that the in
cumbent should be an expert cataloguer
and typewriter and should have also a
general adaptability for work in the COM
pilation of consular reports for publica-
tnu.
1t was found that Miss Stalnaker pos
sessed the hest qualifications for the office
and Mr. Emery chief of the bureau, had
no hesitation in recommending her ap-
pointment, despite the fact that there are
no other ladies employed in the bureau.
Secretary Olney approved the recommen-
dation and the appointment was made to-
day.
Couldn't Climb a Ladder.
The rejection of this young lady by the
adjutant general was based solely on the
ground of her sex. A male clerk was asked
for to fill the post of translator in the
Office of military intelligence, and Miss
Stalnaker being the only person examined
by the civil service commission. who could
meet the exacting requirements, she was
certified to the War Department for ap-
pointment. The authorities there refused
to appoint her on the ground that having
asked for male clerk they would take no
other. The main reason ascribed for desir-
Ing man was that the duties Of the office
involved the frequent use of ladders in get
ting down and putting back file records,
and consequently was regarded not suit

cause she could not climb ladder" Con-
sequently another examination was neces-
sary to fill this vacancy with a man If one
competent to perform the duties can be
found.

Miss Stalnaker is a young lady of unu-
sual accomplishments as a linguist. She
has many friends in this city who will be
glad TO hear of her success in the State
Department, notwithstanding her unfor-
tunate experience with the .adjutant gener-
al of the army. The office she secured is
better than the one she failed to get SIM
