PETER INCONSISTENT.
Censures Gov. Leedy at the Temper
ance Meeting and Praises Him
in the Advocate

One week ago at the temperance mass
meeting Senator PETER scored Governor
Leedy severely before 1000 people by say
ing he was ashamed of him because he
had not the backbone to enforce laws on
the statute books.
In this weeks Advocate Senator PETER
says:
Governor Leedy, unless the Advocate
is far at sea, will prove to be among the
most successful and popular chief magis-
trates in the history of our state. He has
thus far in the main managed the af-
fairs of his high office with excellent
judgment. In the exercise of discretion
airy powers he has been careful and pru-
dent, and in his personal conduct he has
been clean, courteous and respectful
And what is quite much to his credit.

state, it's institutions and its people,

HOW CHINESE GET IN.
A Combination for Evading the Re
striction Law Discovered in
Vermont,

Washington, May 2S.-In response TO
a resolution of inquiry the attorney gen
eral today sent to the senate the cor
respondence relating to the illegel en-
try of Chinese into the United States.
The documents enclosed cover the
smuggling of Chinese at the ports of
PIattsburg, n. Y, and St. Albany, New
port and other ports in Vermont, on the
pretense that the immigrant Cinnamon
are natives and therefore citizens of the
United States, the plan of proceeding
being to have Cinnamon at the port of
entry swear that they are the fathers of
the immigrants and that the sons"
were born in the United States This
oath, under the law, assures the release
of any Chinaman arrested for violation
of the restriction law.
In a letter from United States Dis
$rict Attorney Poucher dated OswegO,
n. Y, he says the practice of import
ing Cinnamon after this manner has
long been in practice at st. Adams and
other places in Vermont. He says there
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-05-29

are attorneys regularly engaged in as
sisting Chinese immigrants to evade
the law and that some of those in Yer
mont are making from $4,000 to $4,000
per year in the business. He adds the
remark that he has no doubt that the
Cinnamon come in under a stipulation
to pay the lawyers a stated compensa-
ton, upon their release. San Francisco
is almost always given as the place of
birth and it is impossible to discredit
the evidence. The Chinese seek arrest
in order to have the matter settled in
the courts after this manner.
Special Examiner Chalmers says
there are a number of Chinese brokers
engaged in the business. An amend
ment to the law is suggested to remedy
the evil.

CITY SAVES $3.50
Through the Diligence of City Clerk
McFadden.

City Clerk NIcFadden has been spending
a day or two looking for lost coupons of
street Improvement bonds and has sue
ceeded in finding what he was searching
for.
In 1891 City Clerk Geo. Tauber was noti-
fed by Miss Virginia Spear of Philadelphia
that she had lost $3.50 worth of interest
coupons on 5000 worth of city bonds
which she holds. Mr. Tauber requested
her to wait until the bonds became due
when the lost coupons would be paid. As
the bonds will fall due in July Miss Spear
wrote to City Clerk NcFadden request ting
that the lost coupons be paid
After spending a long time examining
coupons City Clerk McFadden found the
lost ones. They had been regularly pre-
scented and paid so that the city VIII he
saved the $3.50 and Miss Spear will lose
that much interest. The coupons were
evidently found by some one who under
stood their value. They are made pay

no record of who received the money

The Attempt to Give It to the North
Topeka Sewer to be Abandoned.

Topeka Sewer to be Abandoned.
The new sewer district between Blu
chanan and Lincoln streets and north of
Fifth will be named district 49, The city
engineer decides what the number of the
district shall be. There are now II sew
ers in the city but the highest number
is ''1S." This is due to the fact that there
is no district 49, and the superstitious
among the city officers are afraid of that
number.
Years ago there was to be a sewer 49,
in North Topeka. Things worked smooth
~ enough until the time came to build
it, when there was a hitch in the pro-
ceedings and the matter was postponed
Every year there has been a faint effort
to reopen the matter and secure the
sewer and during all that time the mum.
Der "13' has been saved for the North
Topeka sewer.
1t has about been decided since the agi-
tation for the sewer in North Topeka has
been renewed that there will be no at
tempt to saddle ''13' onto that part of
the city for fear that fact alone will de-
feat the proposition. So the new sewer
will probably be numbered "19'' or ''20'
instead of '13' which has been saved for
it for years.

WINE PRICES CUT.
California Products Sold at % Cents
Per Gallon.

San Francisco, May 2s.-The Cali
fornia Wine association has cut the
price of California wines for New Or
leans to p cents per gallon f. o. b. at
this city, which will in all probability
seriously affect the market. Similar
cuts have been announced in the New
York and other eastern markets and
the selling price to merchants has also
been reduced.
This is considered to be a serious blow
to the producers, who are just recover
ing from a long period of low prices,
but it is hoped by those interested that
the wine makers corporation viii be
able to meet this cut and bring the
threatened war to an end.

Cheerful Reports.

The Progress enjoyed brief
call from Capt NJ. B. Lydon of the
u. S. steamer Howell, Monday.
His boat was then at Fulton Ark
where she had landed after a sue
ccssful voyage of snag pulling and
root and stump extracting.
The Captain said that he never
saw a more co tented or hopeful
people than the planters on upper
Red river. That they had made
splendid crops last year, and this
year, they had taken in vast guam
titles of hitherto idle acreage and
were working in great hopes for
the future.
Captain Lydon also spoke of the
stavc factory which wants to come
here. He said that Mr.. Schusler is
an excellent gentleman and first
class business man, and if Shrevc-
port secured his plant it would be
followed by another manufactu-
ring enterprise which would ask
for no bonus, but would swell the
numb Der of employes-for the two
to 200 at least. These are certainly
worth striving for.

The bicycling season OF 1897 has begun
to be stirred. The public fails to find a
distinguishing mark or sign to indicate
the opening, save the show OF life among
the members OF the Shreveport Wheel
Club. The activity among the members
is due not solely to selfish motives; they
feel Il responsibility and are going to take
care OF it. to the best OF their ability.

a cycle track is almos. assured, and the
organization will be the sponsor for many
cycle events this season, which will arouse
cyclists enthusiasm.
There is something more in cycling
than in seeing how many miles one can
make their cyclometers register, and the
riders. Nearly all the accidents that
have occurred can be traced to such
riding.

inent dealer here, the other asked him if
he had called there, to which the gentle
man replied in the negative. well, you
go there, and you'll be treated alright.
