While Senator Wolcott may be in
dignant enough at the President for
endorsing Secretary Cages currency
it is anything but likely that he will
and it is to be hoped that he will not;
he can strike harder blows for the hon.
est money of the Constitution in the
Senate than he could outside of it. The
friends of silver are not so many in
the Senate that they can afford to
waste their forces by resigning.

AS TO .RAPuDlATION.''

=
Whenever any legislation is Proposed
which contemplates a benefit to the
debtor class Immediately Hhe gold
clique rises and shouts Reputation
When they propose to rSpudiate con-
tracts in order to benefit the creditor,
they cry Reform" JXthis clique has
its way bonds mads/payable in COIN
that is, either ajIeer or goodwin be
refunded into bnds made payable in
gold. This WI rob the debtor, but that
doesn't dis1Irb the gold "reformers."
In ordeE that few thousand bond
holders shall fatten on the labors of
seventy millions of toilers, contracts
MADE lin good faith shall be broken.
NAHonal "honor' demands it. Evil
Gefltly the people have no rights these
.1ormorants feel bound to respect.
1t would be monumental theft to
refund coin bonds into gold bonds, for
The reason that coin bonds were bought
at a very much lower price than gold
bonds would have brought.
In the ethics of the gold syndicate it
is all right to rob the debtor. but, by
the honor of the nation, touch not the
golden gift to the sacred CREDITOR!
This is not financiering according to
the notions of the plain people. Will
the Republicans in Congress dare to go
before the people in the next elections
with a-record of having supported such
an outrage?

The New Reformatory Superintend.

genfelter Acting Supt.

HUTCHINSON, June 2.-When Mr.. J. c.
o. Morse resigned as superintendent of
the reformatory a month ago he asked
that his resignation take effect May II.
Captain Arnold was selected to take his
place and came and looked over the
institution.
He left a week ago and the board of
managers have been expecting his re-
turn ever since Mr.. Morse, having
taken the uperintendency of the
Water, Light & Power company, was
anxious to be relieved, and the board
finally decided to appoint one of its own
members. Mr.. w. J. Lingenfelter, act
ing superintendent, and he is now in
charge.
1t is understood that Captain Arnold
objects to accepting the place unless he
has some say about his subordinates,
which he claims he has not.

TO HELP TILLMAN.
He Asks the Aid of Congress in En-
forcing the Dispensary Law.


Washington, June 2.-Mr. Tillman of
South Carolina. soon after assembling
asked consideration of a resolution re-
ci+ire- the circumstances of the enact
rnent of the South Carolina dispensary
law. its effect in reducing intemperance
the recent decision of a federal judge
overthrowing the law and requiring the
state to rent the bar rooms. The resolu-
ton asks the judiciary committee to con-
slider and report what legislation is neces-
sarv to restore to South Carolina its right
to regulate the liquor traffic in its own
way.
Mr.. TilIman spoke briefly in support OF
the resolution, saying the public impress
sion that the dispensary law was mon
ev making device, was erroneous and
that it had accomplished much good in
regulating the liquor traffic.
There was an objection to the pream-
BILE and finally Mr.. Hoar of Massachu-
setts, chairman of the judiciary commit
tee. proposed substitute emitting all
the preamble and simply directing the
judiciary committee to consider and re-
mort bv bill or otherwise what legisla~
ton if any, is necessary to carry out the
statute of 1890 relating to commerce be-
tween the states.
Mr.. Tillman accepted the substitute

BACK HER MOTHER.
A Pretty Girl Elopes But Quickly
Cones to Her Senses.

Sixteen year-old Anna Adams, who
is very pretty, ran away from her home
in St Joseph and came to Topeka on
Monday, but is back with her parents
today with her mind firmly made up
that she viii never leave home again.
She had heard of Opponents and was
fascinated with the stories she heard.
So, when John Helm, a boy not much
older than she, suggested that they
should run away and get married she
consented. The girl said that she had
relatives in Topeka, and it was agreed
that they should come to Topeka and
be married.
The relatives of Miss Adams are the
family of James Digman, who live at
1922 North Jefferson street. The elop-
ing couple went to the Digman house
and spent the night, intending to get
married the following day, which was
yesterday.
When the day of the proposed mar
riage arrived, Miss Adams had about
rather be at home with her mother,
and shortly after noon yesterday she
slipped away from the Digman house
and her lover and went to the Santa
Fe depot. She had no money, but she
trusted to fate to provide her way to
reach home.
1t was about o'clock that Under
Sheriff Lucas, who was walking up and
down the platform at the Santa F'e de-
pot, was approached by the young girl.
He noticed that she was excited. She
took a ring from her pocket and begged
the officer to buy it. He questioned
her and was told that she wanted to
go to st. Joseph, where her parents
lived. Mr.. Lucas told her that he
would assist her to procure a ticket If
she wanted to go home. He took her
to the court house and called upon the
poor commissioner.
Poor Commissioner Hale said that the
relatives of the girl should furnish the
ticket and Mr. Lucas started with her
to her cousins house. Before they
had gone far she began to beg that he
would not take her to her relatives
home. She began to weep as they
drove on: "Oh, if I could only get
home" said she, 4 would never leave
again Only help me get home"
1t was while the girl was in a hys-
tericaI condition that the young man
who had induced the girl to leave home
appeared He persuaded her to have
a talk with him and Deputy Lucas
awaited the result of the interview.
Finally she turned away and Sprang
into the buggy. Il tell you am going
home said she 81 don't want to get
married. I want to go home to my
mother
Mr.. Lucas drove off and went back
to the poor commissioner, who furnish
ed a ticket to st. Joseph. Mr. Lucas
took the girl to the afternoon train and
she was started on her way nome Win
ont further interference on the part OF
the young man in the case.
Miss Adams is slight of figure she
has blue eyes and brown hair, and ap-
reared to be rather younger than 10
imam older. She was we'll dressed and
is evidently the daughter OF Well-to-oo
people.
