to get the evidence necessary under
the inHexible general laws. Many
of them are needy and all of them
in the decline Of life. Speaker Reed
backed up and sustained by the party
tina; has always vocifcrously claimed
to be the friend Of the old soldier,
blocks these bills by refusing to APP
point the committees. There are
nearly 1000 of them already on the
calendar. A large proportion Of
them were introduced in the last ses-
sion and died for want of time to
consider them. Here is the house
now meeting every three DAYS and
adJourning without transacting any
business-time wearing heavily on
their hands-wasted and thrown
away-and still Tom Reed refuses
toallow them to be considered.
These bills will all die with the pres
ent congress, at least all except the
few that pass and will have to be re-
introduced and take their chances
with the miriad of other interests
that will be pushing for recogni-
ton in the regular session. He
thinks this time that is being so ruth
lessly wasted now could be we'll en-
ployed in that direction. He CON-
mends Jerry Simpson very highly
for his hight on Tom Reed, and says
the people will never know the mag 4
nitudc Of his service to them. He is
brave as lion, true as steel and able
beyond description. He has the
whole Kansas (Populis0 delegation,
more than half the Democrats
and part of the Republicans (pri-
vately) at his back in his heroic
fight against the usurpation Of the
speaker. Mr.. Botkin will return to

served the place and

has spent more time
and money helpingto

wants to be boss" or
is "boss" or not.
There is nOdanger Of
the Republican party
Of Kansas becoming
boss ridden" by any
man; but a little re-
Election will recall
the fact that when
ever BOSS Leland"
was at the helm, the
party has won. He
has secured many
more and better
places for the state
fror the Mckinley
administration than
We ever had before.
He knows how to get
his party, his friends

front and does so Ia

been one great lack

ing his candidacy, We are unabl,
to get a copy Of this editorial shorr
Of his files with the State Historical
Society at Topeka, but it can be
produced if necessary. The writer
remembers being shown a letter
from Leland thanking him kindly
for the editorial, soon after it vas
published.
Third position-One Morse i:

tertiary and Cy Leland has been
transformed into "cut-throat".
Fourth position-Cy Leland wa.
appointed pension agent because he
deserved it. Notwithstanding his
assertion to Morrill, that defeat in
1892 was due to him and his associa-
ted barnacles, ga little reflection
will recall the fact whenever Boss
Leland has been at the helm. the
party has won," and "the lack Of
such bossism in the past has been
one great lack of the Republican
party in Kansas"
His fifth position will be de-
termined by how the postoffice goes.
Verify his career on Cy Leland
has been almost as much checkered
as his record on the silver question.
Can any one put confidence in the
utterances Of such political pirates?
When ne came into the newspaper
arena in 1894, he announced to the
world that he was to be the great
umpire set on hill and woe be 10
ne who dared deviate from the
paths OF rectitude! He was "exco-
rate" wherever and whatever was
needed regardless Of politics. His"ex.

and praising alternately those who

STREETS IN SOUTHERN SECTION.
A Plan of Paving Has Been Made,
But No Money Left.

According TO plans which have been
drawn Up for street improvement in the
southern section 1t appears that part Of
the city. which is very much in need of
paving. will come in for a good share of
this work as soon as the council can find
lis Golfers sufficiently plethorc to author
ize the work done
1T is a matter upon which there can
be but little said just at present" re-
marked Alderman Krouskoff, who resides
at Seventh and Abercorn, yesterday.
THE truth Is, the work is very badly
needed. There has for the last year or two
been more building in this part of the city
than in any other, perhaps. The houses
have been built and the blocks laid out
by the extension Of the streets, but up
to date the streets consist largely of
grassy plots There are no sidewalks and
the whole pare of town from Seventh, or
even Sixth street, out beyond Ninth, just
off Bull, may be termed a meadow built
UP with houses.
'Of course, we expected much more
than we might have expected if we had
known the condition of the city treasury
and the budget allowed for street i'm
provement. But We hope that something
will yet be done.
1T is the purpose of the men who have
such matters in hand TO lay a sewer out
Bull street, from Anderson to Twelfth
street, and when this is done it is the plan
to put down an excellent pavement. This
sewer viii relieve the culverts we have
now as a temporary system in this part
of town and viii also open the way for
some paving in this section of the city.
We want to make Seventh street the bou-
ri n "a he
truth Is the budget is all pretty much used
up already. The paving of Oglethorpe
avenue and other WORK authorized before
the present administration consumed
pretty much all the fund, there being
about $4,000 tied up out of a budget of
about $4,000.
LAS soon as 1t can be done to advant-
age we hope that the council will be will
ing to put down some good paving in this
part of the city"

SERVICES AT TRINITY.
Rev. George n. MacDonen, Jr.
Preached Last Night.


The sermon at last nights service at
Trinity church was preached by Mr..
George n. MacDonel Jr. Mr.. MacDonell
is a son OF the presiding elder of the Sa-
vannah district, and is now a student of
the theological seminary at Nashville.
His purpose in the preparation he is there
undergoing is to fit. himself for the work
of a missionary to Mexico.
Mr. MacDonelFs text was from John
9:35: ''For judgment I am come into this
world" His treatment Of his text was ad-
mirable and the sermon was delivered with
a fluency of words and an impressiVeness
that appealed to his audience
Mr. MacDonell insisted that it is not the
Lord from whom judgments come, but
from men themselves. BY their lives they
show whether they prefer the reward Of
an eternity of happiness to a fate of etern-
al punishment The choice is left entirely
with them, and there is no power from
above that judges them till the course is
rum and the life they have elected has
been lived. He said that thereNjs no
ground of neutrality in the matter of the
Lords acknowledgement. Either He must
be accepted OF rejected; there is no mid
die ground. 1t is the acceptance or denial
of the Lord that settles the judgment of
men and fixes their fate for eternity.

Damp Afternoon of 1t.
Sunday excursionists had a rainy day OF
it yesterday. Those who got out of the
city In the forenoon were all right, but
the rush was in the afternoon and it
caught the downpour. 1t began raining
about noon. At first showers fell. then
steady downpour set in. and lasted for a
couple of hours. In ell something over
an inch Of rain fell.
The afternoon crowds of excursionists
to the resorts got wet but they didn't

hotels We're filled. The Augusta excur-
sion brought down a large crowd TO the
South End and Hotel Tybee. The tide
was high about o'clock, and many took
a plunge In the surf.

to spend the afternoon at Daufuskie. The
rain made II disagreeable on the island
and the eXcursionists sought shelter on
the steamer The boat left Daufuskie a
little earlier than usual, and took the ex-
cursionists on a sail in Catalogue sound
and out TO the sea buoy The trip was
greatly enjoyed. The boat arrived at the
city at o'clock
