According to the Savannah Ne,Us the
antitrust law recently enacted by the
Georgia Legislature Will not do penny's
worth of hurt TO any trust, but menaces
many of.the merchants of the State; and
thus does reform in the hands of the
unwise partake OF the nature of the roor-
back.

He Now Gets $1,000,

The Kansas City Tribune says: "Hon.
@. j. Brown, late Clerk of the Supreme
court, was at the depot Friday night.
Mr.. Brown has been the most fortunate
OfiiCe.holder in Kansas. He held the
office Of Clerk Of the Supreme court for
about twenty years, during which time
it was a bonanza, being estimated from
1886 to 1895 at $4,000 a year. During
all that time no suggestion OF his re-
moval was ever made, nor was there any
attempt to reduce his fees, The Clerk
OF the Supreme court and six Appellate
court Clerks now divide the fees that
used to 60 to MIR. Brown and seem pretty
well satisfied with their jobs. Mr..
Brown was an especially obliging and
capable officer"
1t would strike the average reader that
q fellow could afford to be capable and
obliging for twenty years at $4,000 a
year. It might also be observed that no
public officer earns any such amount,
and il is to the credit Of q Populist Leg
islature that the fee system in this Office
has been abolished and the Clerk placed
on a salary Of $1,000 year, which will
pay him well Tor all services performed.

A meeting Of the Peoples party State

August l2. The following members
were present: First district g. w.

by e. V. Wharton, proxy, and b. j.
WestRate, ST. John; and John W. Breid-
enthal, Committeeman-at-lsrge.
A financial report was submitted and
approved. More complete arrangements
for the redemption Of scrip were per
fected. January l, 1898, was designated
as the final date on which scrip would
be redeemed, and all holders were urged
TO assist the committee in closing up the
matter by that time.
Chairman Breidenthal submitted his
resignation 40 Committeeman-at' large,
and It was accepted. The committee
then elected Mr.. Riddle to succeed him.
The Committeeman-at large is OK ofticio
Chairman Of the committee, Messrs.
Breidenthal, J. M. Allen, Charles A.
Taylor and H. S. Clarke received votes
for the place, although none OF them
were avowed candidates. Their attitude
seemed to be that Of men who realized
that the position was not an enviable
one and that the committee should look
over the available timber and select such
man az in their judgment would be
best fitted for the place. e. V. Wharton
was selected to succeed Mr. Riddle Rs
Committeeman from the Fourth district.
Arrangements we're made for the de.
velopment Of campaign fund and for
the circulation Of suitable literature dur

Bowie Will Go Further,

No attention having been paid by the
Federal court to Attorney General Boyle's
action in the Supreme court, which is
really in the nature Of contempt, and
there seeming to be no other way to get
the matter into the United States Su-
preme court, Mr.. Boyle will, it is be-
lieved, soon bring a criminal action
against some one Of the agents Of the
company. This will be a direct violation
OF the injunction and will force the Fed.
eral court to act. If the case once
reaches the United States Supreme
court, it is confidently believed that q
decision will be given to the effect that
Federal Judges have no right to enioin
State officers from performing their duty,

Save the School Money.

An innovation in the method OF rum
ning country schools in western Kansas
will be advocated by Superintendent
Stryker in circular soon to be issued.
He will recommend the wholesale Rbol-
ishment of schools in the sparsely settled
districts Of the west, and a system OF
collection and delivery Of pupils. He
says that the cost Of maintaining schools
in western Kansas is too heavy for the
good accomplished, and his scheme, he
says, will give q pupil better education
at less cost to the taxpayer. He says it
will be tough on school teachers, as
many Of them will be thrown out of en-
ployment il his suggestions are followed
out, but he is looking after the pupils
and not the teachers. In many districts
in western Kansas, Mr.. Stryker states,
there are only from three to five pupils,
and the district school officers levy tax
to the limit to educate these. The sal
aries Of the teachers eat up most Of the
funds raised.

State Office Aspirants.

Here is the list of candidates mentioned
80 far among the Pops for Governor:
j. w. Leedy, Coffey county; Senator
Jason Helmick, Of ChautsuquA; George
Munger, Of Greenwood; ex-senator W.
A, PETER, OF Shawnee; Judge A. w.
DSnnison, OF Butler; Senator Nose
Householder, OF Cherokee; Senator A. G.
Forney, Of Sumner, and Mary E. Lease,
OF Sedgwick. Senator Forney is said to
be Jerry Simpsons candidate for Cover
nor, and it is further limited that at the
proper time Bank Commissioner Breid-
enthal will hoist the Forney banner.
For Lieutenant Governor A. M. Hsr-
vey, the present incumbent, will find op-
position in the persons Of p. P. Elder, Of
Franklin; Senator George Campbell, Of
Labette, and Senator Titus, Of Harper,
Attorney General Boyle has been very
busy trying 60 uphold the laws passed
by the last Pop Legislature, but that
will not be circumstance compared to
his business in getting denomination.
UP to date five Pop lawyers have ex-
pressed desire TO make the race for
that place. They are Representative
Glenn FairchiId, Of Kingman; Sam Hale,
Of Rush; Sam Jones mot the evangelist),
Of Lyon; Frank Herald, Of Shawnee, and
Senator w. B. Crossan, of Miami.
Only one Pop has come out so far to
oppose William Bush for the Office OF
Secretary Of State. His name is j. @.
Hopper, and he lives at Ness City.
State Auditor Morris will have TO de-
feat Representative Foley, Of Norton
county, and j. B. Gibbs, colored, OF Wy
andOtte, if he desires to make the race
against the Republican nominee. Rep

Elder for LeedY,

In q recent interview P. P. Elder de.
Clared that Governor Leedy's admins.
tration was giving satisfaction and that
he would be renominAted by Scclama-
tion. He believes, though, that the call
ing Of a special session "wOuld upset the
whole kettle Of fish," On recent occa-
sion he said to Mr.. Leedy: "When you
have had investigating committees to in
vestigRte the acts Of your own members,
you would call them together again, /
suppose, for the purpose of making more
material for investigation" He thinks
that the fight with Judge Williams will
prove to be popular and that the people
will indorse it. He also thinks that the
stock yards matter will help Governor
Leedy. In conclusion he said: ~ be-
lieve that il the people were to take their
choice between the silver question and
stamping out trusts, they would forget
all about silver. The other is far more
important"
The advocate., 1897-08-18

IaVOf union OF IOrceB opposed 70 bn0
Unsuitable greed Of corporations, trusts
and the combination of wealth Of this
country. The good measures passed by
the Legislature are commended, adher-
ence to free silver at l6 to is declared,
sympathy is expressed for the Eastern
coal miners who are striking, and several
demands Of interest to local miners are
made.
The Populist convention in Usage
county met at Usage City, August 10,
and was presided over by w. @. Williams.
Addresses were made by John Madden,
H. B. Fleharty, Representatives Jamie
son and Trueblood and Senator Jumper.
The resolutions indorse the Omaha and
St. Louis platforms, renew allegiance to
Bryan, indorse Governor Leedy and his
railroad veto, indorse Insurance Superin-
tendent McNsll, indorse Chairman Breid-
enthal and urge his reelection if he
would accept, indorse John Madden's
campaign last year and look forward to
his triumphant election, declare that
legislators who disregard their constitu-
ents' wishes should resign, oppose nepo-
tism and the sale of convict mined coal
in the open market. The following
ticket was nominated: Treasurer, Charles
Stackhouse (Dem.); Clerk, William
Thomas; Sheriff, Ed Ullery; Register, L.
Gilges; Coroner, Doctor Miles; Commits
sioner, James Hollis. No nomination
was made for Surveyor. The ticket rep
resents all parts Of the county and is
quite satisfactory to all elements Of the
party. Delegates were elected to the
Judicial convention at Alma. The
County committee elected Bert Logan,
Of QuenemO, Chairman, and @. .SwartOut,
of Usage City, Secretary.
The Sumner county Populist conven-
tion was addressed by Senators Forney
and Titus. The latter, among other
things, stated that the report that he
had named Forney as one who was said
to have been fixed by the corporations
was untrue. The following ticket was
uOuluuI6u' OlcLhS WAlOIu I' WOOuS
Sheriff, j. r. Heskett; Register Of Deeds,
w. M. jackson; Treasurer, j. P Winner;
Surveyor, G. @, Stayton; Coroner, DR.. j.
G. Reid; Commissioner Second district,
George W. Bailey. The resolutions re-
afIitm allegiance to Populist principles,
demand an extra session of the Legisla-
ture and the enactment Of maximum
freight rate law, favor the building Of a
line of railroad from the North to the
Gulf by the States, refer to the saving
effected in county printing by the Popu-
list party and declare that since Repub-
lican papers were always given the
printing at full legal rates and were now
bidding it down below cost, that it was
fair that the printer should have fair
wages, and recommend that the Com
missioners let the contract at not more
than 40 per cent. Of present legal rates.
A resolution to indorse the Leedy ad-
ministration was declared adopted, but
the Wellington Voice asserts that it was
a motion to table the resolution which
carried.
