SUPERINTENDENT STRYKER has
been waging a war against the bond
brokers that have been glowing fat on
commissions made by negotiating sales
of bonds of the various counties and
school districts with the school fund
commissioners. The naW school fund
commissioners have announced then
determination to negotiate with the
counties, school districts ana other
corporate divisions having bonds to sell.
This will make neat saving to the
country of the sums heretofore paid to
brokers, which is considerable. as well
as to preclude the deals thatshave been
made in fraudulent bonds, by the State
has lost about $15OiOOO.

The chief difference between the
maximum freight rate bill introduced
in the Senate as "the administration
bill, " and the one fathered by Senator
Harris is that in the frat the legisls-
ture makes out schedule of maximum
rates which can be suspended and
amended in part by the commissioners
If in some particulars in practical
operation it is found not to work we'll
while in the latter it leaves the rate
making to the board Of commissioners
and gives them increased power
However the former is patterned after
the Iowa law, and we believe, from our
present knowledge, is decidedly pre-
ferable. If In after years the corpora
tions should control the board they
have agreater responsibility in chang
ing the rates to suit the railroads when
they reverse the action Of the legisla.
ture, then if acting upon authority
wholly vested in them. OF course
the clause giving commissioners power
to regulate rates is intended to be re-
duced to a minimum, but there would
be instances in which changes would
be imperitive without waiting for the
legislature to meet. To us this appears
the proper theory.

TIE s1aN1FIoANCE OFT

A thing that was to most populists
and democrats entirely unexpected Oc-
Cured in the lower house of the legis-
lature the latter part Of last week.
ExSpeaker Lobdell introduced a reso-
luton admOnishing our congressman
and senators from Kansas to work for
the passage Of another income tax law
and il necessary to make it conform to
the rulings of the Supreme Court, to
also work for a change in the constitu-
ton to obviate that difficulty.
1t was a surprise that such a resOlu-
ton should be introduced by a republi.
can. 1t was greater surprise that 1t
should be introduced by the republican
leader of the house, and it was the
greatest surprise that every republican
in the house should vote for it. OF
course It was to be expected that the
popnlists would vote for it but that it
should pass without single dissenting
republican vote placed it in the cate
CORY of political phenomena.
But what does this signify? What
is its inwardnessp 1t is that there Ia
agreat and growing difference between
the republicans of the East and those
of the West, even those who swallowed
the st Louis platform and made an
attempt at campaign upon it, and
the indications are that in the course
of a little time still others will become
disguised with the plutocrac7 of the
party and make another slump until
the party will become as hopelessly a
minority party In the West as it is In
the South.
Speaker Lobdell when asked IL BIZ
thought his party nationally would &C.
cept any such thing, said he didn'
know but he thought they would event
ually. When it is found that it won
these fellows will tiually quit.

BORMDEALs.

Commissioner Albright of King
man county, who is an applicant for a
position on the board of charities, is
in Topeka, after the old school fund
commissioners. The following isabout
his story as told 1n,the State Journal
His story is as follows; There. we're
$l25,OdO Of Kingman county railroad
bonds which recently became due. Tie
bonds bore 6 per cent interest. The
county had no money to pay the bonds
and the commissioners decided. to re-
fund them at a lower rate Of interest,
ifp0sslble.
A Hutchinson broker offered to take
the bonds II they were refunded at 81
per cent for thirty years. Commits.
siOner Fox protested and the broker
then offered to take the bonds to bear
81 per cent interest for fifteen years
and Al per cent for the last fifteen years
Of the time.
This agreement was ratified and the
broker at once turned the bonds over to
the school fund commissioners at AZ
per cent interest and pOcketed per
cent for fifteen years or $50, which
will be paid by the county in detached
coupons.
OF course the commissioners might
have sold the bonds to the school fund
commissioners themselves and, have
thereby saved the county $4,000, but
the school fund commissioners refused
to buy from the commissioners.
Another case of the same kind came
up last April when $4,000 of bonds
were to be refunded. They bore per
cen! interest The commissioners cor
responded with the school fund com
missioners, who finally refused to take
the bonds at any price.
Then H. G. Speer, a Topeka bond
broker, appeared on the ground and
made proposition to tat the bonds il
they were issued at per cent. He was
given the bonds and Immediately sold
them to the school fund commissioners
at 5 per cent and he put the extra l per
cent or over 49, 900 in his pocket and
Of course the county will pay the COM
mission.
The people of Kingman county are
indignant and we intend to ask that
the legislature investigate these bond
transactions"

THE legislature IS starting out right
1t has under consideration a couple Of
maximum freight rate bills, bills re-
modelling the system OftaxatiOn provid'
ing for assessment of property at full
value by county assessor so as to insure
that the property is all assessed on the
same basis,and a number Of other bills
in the direction of improvement. 1t
has also shown a disposition to ecOnO-
mize. If it keeps these good resolu-
tions up to the end it will have we'll
earned the greeting well done, thou
good and faithful servants" But leg
islatures are prone to start out with
new years resolutions and wind up in
the way the "resolutOrs'' usually do.
However we hope our popTllsts legisla-
ture will reform on this custom.

MEETING with ex.Speaker Charlie
Lobdell on the train few days ago
the Gazette man, after little prelimi-
nary talk on current politics, inter
viewed him somewhat as follows:
"Who do you think will be United

less the pOpulists owe it to Breiden-
thai" why is it Breidenthsl has so
much better astanding with your party
than any of our other leadersg" was
asked him. Because he has been
absolutely fair, has made an able officer
and we respect his ability" was the
reply. However said he: "Harris
stands just as we'll"

70 the constitution establishment the
system of the initiative and referen-
dunn While we are unable to deter
mine the detailed terms of the bill and
can not tell whether they are practical
or not we wish to submit that some
thing along this line should be under
taken by this legislature. There are
times to be conservative and times to
be radical. The party and the country
is now more in dangerof doing to little
than OF doing too much. The Referen
dun when understood, is something ne
man can complain of without attack

THE Populist caucus for United States
senator met Tuesday night and took
twenty-four ballots. At the start PEI
fer ran ahead but ran down to fifth at
the close. In fact he was about at the
tall The twenty-fourth ballot re
suited as follows: King, Of COwly, IS;
Harris, 80; Little. %; Breidenthal, 8;
PETER, 2. Breidenthal appears to be
practically out OF the race unless 1t is
that his friends are going to some other
man who, after due time, will throw
his strength back to Breidenthal. The
6gnt kept up on him by Lewelling and
his friends bids fair to keep him out.
King, of COwley, was a candidate be-
for the State convention at Abeline
fer governor. He is a good man and
has been the leader in the senate ever
since it has been inhabited by pOpu-
lists. He is farmer that farms which
gives him strength with the farmer
legislature. However the contest may
be yet long drawn and take many un-
suspected turns, or on taking the
twenty-ffth ballot it may be all settled.
OF course every one knows Harris's
abilities which are such as would COM
pensate for the deplorable lacks and
wants of Kansas other senator.

CONVICTED or LEZE'MiJESIl.

THE EDITOR OF THE HAMBURG ECHO SEH'
rrNCEp 70 EIGHT MONTHS IMPRISONMENT.
Hamburg oct 1.-THE editOr-in-chief or tho
Hamburg Echo" Rclnhod Stencil charged with
leze-maies,v against Leopold King OF the Belsians
was tried here TO-DAY. convicted and sentenced
-rhs nr,~eedings taken at the request or
paron GrclndL Belgian Minister at Berlin. The
osnco contested in the publication OF several aTt-
cles asserting that King Leopold habitually en-
couraged gambling. that he had his own tables at
Ardennes and personally protected the gambling
saloons at Ostend.
Herr Stencil denied the authorship OF the Offend
ing articles but accepted responsibility for them
The defence proved that similar statements had
appeared I'm Belgian and other German papers
without being followed by prosecutions for Ieze-
majesty Among the Belgian witnesses were Baron
Gossinet the Kings secretary; Herr Weiner. the
Rclcian Crown Syndic and Deputy Lorand all Of
whom deposed that the King had absolutely moth
ing TO do with gambling houses. all of which in
Belgium were legally regulated by the Government
The defence wanted to cross-exarine the prose-
cution's witnesses with reference to King Leopold s
relation TO the Congo enterprise. but the court
refused to allow that matter TO be raised. The
presiding Judge decided also contrary To the con-
t.ntlon OF the defence. that Baron Greind was
acting I'm behalf of his Government and entirely
justified i'm taking criminal proceedings.
The Public Prosecutor demanded sentence 10
six months imprisonment. The court imposed a
sentence. of eight months and ordered the immeda-
ate arrest OF Herr Stencil. There is reason 10
believe that he will endeavor TO evade the execu-
tion OF the warrant by leaving the country.
