Capitol Commissioners Will Take
Up the Bids Tomorrow.

Up the Bids Tomorrow.
The board of commissioners for the
new state capitol will meet tomorrow
forenoon in their rooms in the Endi-
colt building, and the members have
all signified their intention to be pres
ent, so that it is probable that action
will be taken towards letting the con-
tract both for the cementing of the
sub-basement as we'll as for the super
structure itself.
1t is doubtful whether the individual
commissioners have come to any def
mite determination in regard to the
stone to be used, although it IS cur
rent that they all prefer to use Min
nesota stone. 1t was stated by a we'll
known stone man yesterday, that some
members of the commission think very
favorably of the Little Falls granite
which is clear and light colored.
There was only one bid for this stone.
from Grant & Record, of st. Paul, and
1t was for a seemingly high amount,
$950,000. And then again it is possible
that the board will consider one of the
numerous combinations presented.

One of the recently elected Popu-
list Judges of Western Kansas is just
realizing that contrary to his pre-
vious opinion, he is not running all
the judicial machinery of the state.
The first case carried from his court
to the'appellate court was reversed the
other doy and he felt extremely put
out. Being of a frank, even positive
turn of mind he has expressed his
opinions about the intelligence of the
appellate Judges and has shown so
much sensitiveness that his friends
took to joking him about it. Last
week he was in Topeka and with q
friend was walking down Kansas ave-
nue. when they passed some members
of the northern division of the appel
late court. The friend remarked
There are those fellows who reversed
you" The western Kansas Judge re-
piled, shaking his cane at them, "Yes,
blame their pictures, but it took three
of them to do it, He succombs only
to numbers.

not Abilene have one. This city has
history as varied and as interest

can boast. Think Of the possibilities
of cattle days, of boom times, of bust

The Topeka Advocate has a bitter
attack on the Union Central Life in
surance company because in loaning
money payable at any time it speci-
lies that payment must be in good
faith to lessen the debt and not with
borrowed money secured elsewhere.
1t says: "Thls company is taking adj
vantage of every provision in It's
mortgages which will enable it to
continue those which are in effect"
and intimates that its officers did
good deal oflying in expressing doubts
as to the wisdom Of Populist adminis-
tration. The clause has been in its
mortgages for ten years and is simply
to protect the company from unnec-
essary expense in releasing papers
etc. whenever borrower can get a
lower rate of interest. The Advocate
in making political capital out of it is
showing itself preiudiced, ignorant
and behind the times. The whole
matter was discussed during last falls
campaign and afterward and the Pop
papers that tried to find consolation
in it were compelled to drop it.

Has the Fever Run Out?

Ex-senator William Alfred PETER
startled some of the free silver advo-
Gates in brief editorial published in
the "Advocaten this week. From a
free silver standpoint, he has been
suspected Of heresy, hut the editorial
stamps him as a "gold bug He
seems to have gone clear outside of
the walls, for he fatty contradicts
a theory that was advocated with
much earnestness last fall. The edi-
torial says
"a correspondent, writing from
Rossville, asks a good many ques-
tions. and requests the "Advocate"
to answer them. The answer to all
the rest depends on the answer to the
first question, which reads:
lsit possible for the United States
to maintain silver and gold at parity
under free coinage?'
"To this we answer no.n
This has been the Republican posi-
ton. This is the one proposition
which the Populsts contended for
most vigorously-the belief that the
United States can "go it alone" with
out the ala of international co-opera-
ton. 1t seems that PETER is recover
ing from the disease which has been
raging in his blood for eight years.
Is it possible that Populism is mi
crobe that attacks men in bad times
as typhoid and diphtheria microbes
flourish in dry seasonsP Is PETER
getting over it? Has the fever "run
outpn If this is so, there are others.

Don't Bother jeremiah.

We gather from our esteemed CON
temporary, the Monitor, that the
Honorable jeremiah D. Botkin is to
come to this city in order to instruct
the people on the burning issues Of
the day. II he can think OF any rea-
sons why the citizens of this enlight-
ened county should vote the PoPuilst
ticket he will say what they are, 1t
is the complaint of the Pop papers
that the Pop speakers are interrupted
by puzzling questions and exclama-
lions and we wish to warn the Repub-
Leans to give Jerry a respectful hear
Ing.
We hope no Republican will fail to
behave himself and refrain from ask
ing questions that are painful to the
party giving the wake. For instance
it would be very rude to inquire
where are those bonds that the Pop
speakers last fail told us that Mckln-
lev would issue, or where that 70
cent wheat and cent corn comes IN.
Nor should they interrupt the speak
er with query as to why silver Is
going to the bottom Of the well when
wheat is rushing to the dollar marx
or cali attention to the statements OF
last fall that they rise and fall to-
gother.
Then do not bother Jerry with re-
marks about the recent legislature
All the Pop speakers are saying just
as little as possible about that Like
the Pop papers they don't want to
talk about it. Do not ask about the
record of Brother George Hanna-it
is very painful subject, and would
make the speaker feel very bad DO
not mention the Abilene platform or
the things that it promised Jerry
was nominated on that platform and
he is very sensitive about it,
Do not ask about the congressional
record of the Pop congressmen-that'
too, is very tender subject, Do not
ask where are those banners used last
fall telling that reform would begin
at once il the Pops were elected
they do not want to talk about that
either, after the report OF the investl-
CATION OF the Pop booulers' 10 NOV
bother him about Lewelling and the
the action of the the state administra-
ton in keeping him on the board of
railroad commissioners, Do not men,
ton maximum freight laws or usury
laws, or nepotism, or any OF those
things-it will make the speaker feel
so bad.
Treat Jerry kindly. He is doing
the best he can. No one could make
a very good speech with the Pop
record as a text.
