THE PoPULIsT CONSTITUENT.
He is Complaining About the Present
Legislature.


The Journal has received a number of
letters from Populists similar to the fol-
lowing. The members of the legislature
will do well to keep close to the people:
Beloit, Kan, March 1. 1897
We do not know how other counties feel
concerning the actions of the present leg
islature, but if I know the feeling of the
leading Populists of Mitchell county, I
can say they are very much discouraged
they have expected and at this late hour
fear nothing can be done We know OF
no Improvement over the past
Time, which has cost the state thou
sands of dollars has been fooled away
and but little done. People of all parties
expected some good accomplished from
of the peoples party. In fact We owe our
success of last fall because we advocated
reformation. The people desired econo-
important bills had been passed and the
legislature adjourned within thirty days
no party could defeat us at the polls.
correctly informed, advocated legislation
along the following lines: Maximum
county printing, and school books. 1t
went without saying that we desired econ
omy in appropriations Besides we should
have had legislation giving US relief from
trusts and combines and some law relat-
ing to the foreclosure of mortgages
b What have we had? a long time spent
curse to every state and the nation, have
had time to accomplish their work and
fix bills to be satisfactory" Gentle
men of the legislature, you had Just as
we'll pack your trunks for the Mississ-
ippii The Peoples Party cannot win next
fall unless something is done and that
arouse yourselvesi In the next few days
give us good legislation. Leave out minor
affairs and legislate on the issues
These are not my sentiments alone but
are echoed by every county officer and
re-echoed by the township trustees now
in session here. Respectfully
z.

$1O,OOO,OOO MORE
Will be Given Chicago University by
John D. Rockefeller.

The University of Chicago, founded
by John D. Rockefeller, according to a
special in the New York Herald yester-
day has been running behind at the
rate of $25O,000 a year in expenses. This
has discouraged President William R.
Harper, who, it seems, threatened to
resign.
Then hints of extravaganza were
given out, and this was the last straw
for President Harper. He wrote a let
ter to Mr.. Rockefeller asking him to
send an expert accountant to go over
the books.
Then F. T. Gates, Mr.. RockefeIler's
private secretary, appeared, and the
visit brought sunshine to the institu-
ton. The message was in substance
that if Dr.. Harper would reconsider his
determination Mr.. Rockefeller would
pledge himself to further contribute not
less than 0,00O, 900.

ADMIRES THE JOURNAL.
A Reader Who is Glad of the Jour-
nars Moral Courage.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
I want to thank you for the manly
way in which you are always in defense
of what you think is justice. If you
had never written anything else, your
comments upon the actions of the Chris
tan people with regard to prohibiting
operate entertainments on Sunday and
their apathy with regard to the saloon
question would be sufficient to endear
you to- the heart of every fair minded
and liberty loving person in the world.
Then in the matter of the grave rob-
bers. The Capital was silent. 1t did
not wish to tread on anyone's toes. But
your voice was heard as it should have
been in behalf of justice and an out
ragged public. While I don't subscribe
to all your opinions, yet am very glad
that we have one paper that has the
moral courage to stand up for right and
justice, let whose toes it will pinch.
Yours

SUGGESTION TO CRAWFORD
On the Subscription Plan of Bringing
Shows to Topeka.

The success of the Communication plan
of giving a season of light opera in To-
peka awakenS the thought why can't
other meritorious attractions be given
on the subscription plan in Topeka.
What is to prevent Manager Crawford
from securing Frohman companies and
others on the guarantee plan? If 800
Topeka people will sign subscription
to take sea is for certain well known at
fractions at 81 or $3.50, Mr.. Crawford
could easily engage the company for
the coming season. 1t would be glad to
come on such a contract.
Why not make a course" of say ten
excellent attractions for S12, or twelve
attractions for SO as the case may be?
The Journal confidently believes that
a list prepared by Manager Crawford
of the right kind of shows could secure
as many as 400 subscribers at SO apiece
for the season.
This plan would save him from loss
and it would guarantee the theater-
patron good shows practically of his
own selection.
