CONCERNING LAWSUIT.
Gleed, Ware & GIeed Have Something
to SAY About It.

To the Editor of the State Journal
On Tuesday the Capital printed on it's
first page over scare head, about
three -fourths of column in relation to
a suit filed against the Kansas Loan
and Trust company and the Trust
Company of America The article
purpOrted to be a digest of what was
contained in the bill. The case has
just been filed and has not been tried.
This morning the Capital contained
a solemn editorial headed AN Evil
Practice in Courts aimed at what it
calls the common practice among at
tOrneys of filing charges against the
character and reputation of defendants
which they never expect to prove by
evidence The editorial then goes on
to discuss two other suits brought
against the same companies some two
years ago also by the hrm OF Gleed'
Ware & Gleed, as attorneys for II. w.
Sage and as attorneys for Cornell Uni
versity.
Regarding the suit recently brought
We desire to observe that if the Capital
and other newspapers had said moth
ing about it until it was tried and un-
til the facts were found by the court,
nObOdy's reputation would have been
injured unless such reputation deserved
to be injured. This is an excellent ex-
ample of what might be called "An
Evil Practice in journalism"
The firm of Gleed, Ware e GIeed be-
courts and not in newspapers but the
Capital seems to entertain varying
opinions on that subject. The Capital
voluntarily and of its own motion and
without any assistance on the part of
the firm of Gleed, Ware & Gleed, chose
to exploit and publish broadcast GER
tain matters contained in the bill We
believe, with the Capital in it's sober
second thought. that the newspapers
ought to let law suits alone until they
are tried.
Regarding the other suits brought
against the same defendants two years
ago, it may be proper to say so far as
the attorneys were concerned the suits
were not brought until every means
of bringing about a peaceable settle
ment had been exhausted and that the
only reason why they were never tried
was that the defendants settled the
suits on terms entirely satisfactory to
our clients. The proprietor of the
Capital was then as now largely inter-
ested in the defendant companies, the
Kansas Loan and Trust company and
Trust Company of America. Yours,
CLEED. WARE &, GLEED.

MISS WILLARD GIVES.
Contributes So, 200 to the Tenn
pie Fund From Her
Own Purse.

Chicago, Nov. 11-Miss Frances z.
Willard, president of the w. c. t. u,
announces she will contribute 5000 of
her own money to start the fund of
$500 900 which the temperance women
need to hold control of the temple prop
erty.
This money Miss Willard said came
to her as a memorial testimonial on the
occasion of her 50th birthday. She says
she cannot better show her love for the
women who gave it than to put it into
the fund for the enterprise which has
been the pride Of all. II have a
heaven born presentiment that the
temple is to be saved to our cause, said
Miss Willard.

CHEERS FOR HANNA.
Home Market Club of Boston APP
plauds Him at its Annual Dinner.

Boston, Nov 1.-THE annual dinner
of the home market club was held at
Mechanics hall last night. Fully 1000
persons attended.
The most distinguished guests were
Congressman Nelson a. Dingley of
Maine; Congressman Charles A. Rus
sell of Connecticut; Congressman John
P. DolliVer of Iowa, and Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge
Senator Hanna sent a letter Of re-
gret, after the reading of which three
cheers were given for him.
Congressman Dingley, in his address,
said:
a great many people in this country
are wiser than they were FIVE years ago.
Some, who study maXims rather than
markets, deny that there has been any
restoration of confidence or any re-
ViVal of business. Others, who are not
entirely blind to the facts. admit the
Improvement, but insist that it comes
in spite of protection, from what they
call natural causes Still others, like
Bryan, contend that the Improvement
is only temporary, because of a short
crop of wheat abroad, ard that busi-
ness viii presently grow worse unless
we have 16 to L free silver on our
hook.
7 leave our free trade friends to re-
count their antagOnistic explanations
of the failure of their theories. simply
remarking that the common sense of
the people concludes that the repeated
coincidence between the protective pol
icy and prosperity and between the
overthrow of that policy and adversity
esta blishes the relation Of cause and
effect.
I know that some of our free trade
friends claim to see in the result of the
recent elections evidences of popular
dissatisfaction with President McKin-
ley and the new protective tariff. When,
however, it is considered that falling
off of the aggregate vote has always
been an inevitable result Of the TelaXa-
tion from an intense strain and that in
every state in which an election was
held the Democratic managers care
fully avoided the tariff issue and gain
ed their only victory in a protective
state through an absurd attempt to run
two Republican candidates for mayor
of New York city, While the Republi-
cans captured a protection United
States senator in Maryland, heretofore
arrayed against protection, it is difficult
to see on what grounds it can be justly
claimed that the result of the recent
elections give any support to the claim
that it shows popular dissatisfaction
with the successful administration of
President Mckinley or with the new
protective tariff

Mr.. Wilder-I wish to suggest an
other matter tonight. Our handsome
new bridge is nearing completion, and
we should not miss this opportunity of
advertising Topeka. Our bridge is the
first artistic bridge in the west. Form
erly strength, durability and homeli-
ness formed the characteristics of the
bridges in this portion of the country,
but in our new bridge we have the first
two combined with beauty. Topeka
has set the pace for the west i'll bridge
building, and we want the people to
see our new structure 1 move that
a committee be appointed to confer
with the city authorities and county
authorities with the view of arranging
for dedication for the new bridge to
occur after the structure had been
thoroughly completed. Addresses
should be made, there should be plenty
of music, the bridge should be hand
somely decorated, and at night have
the structure brilliantly Illuminated.
Topeka has demonstrated that the era
of the Howe truss bridge for drfveways
is past. (Applause.)
Mr.. j. /. Dunham-NO one in this
city has shown more interest in our
new bridge than Mr.. Wilder, and 1
think no one could be better placed at
the head of a committee to arrange this
matter than he. 1 move that Mr.
w liQGI ne MAGE chairman OIL a commit
tee to arrange for the dedication of the
new bridge
This motion carried.
Mr.. c. Elliott think it would be
good idea to run our first trade excur-
sion to this city on the day of the ded-
icatiOn of the bridge.
This suggestion of Mr.. Elliott met
with general approval, and it is prob
able that arrangements will be made
for running the first excursion into
this city on the day set for the dedica-
ton of the bridge. The committee to
arrange the matter Will be appointed
by the president of the club and Mr.
Wilder, and will consist of five mem
bers.
At the meeting of the club last night
a report from Mr.. Hal ". Nefswanger
was read in which he stated that he
was now in correspondence with sew
eral eastern parties in regard to the
establishment of shoe factory in this
city. He said that a fourishiug shoe
factory had been established at Car
Isle, Pa, on a capital of S1O.0 600, and
that he was sure a factory could be
established in this city for the same
amount. In conclusion he said:
I am now in correspondence with
shoe men of Harrisburg. Pa. and shall
see them personally during the month
of January. and my opinion is that To-
peka viii have a shoe factory estab-
lished that will employ at least 100 men
and all within a wear from this time

Are the Moslems Cruel?

II the treatment of non Moslems in
Islamic countries were compared with that
of non Christians in Christian countries,
it would be found that the balance of hui
manity, generally speaking, inclines in
favor of Islam. From the earliest times
Moslem sovereigns made no distinction
between their subjects on the ground Of
faith or creed and Christians and Jews
have held important offices in common
with Moslems. Under the Mogul en-
perors of Delhi Hipdoos commanded arm
les, administered provinces and sat in the
councils of the empire. When were the
Catholics and Jews emancipated in Eng
landg And even in the present times can
it be said that in no Christian empire rul-
ing over mixed nationalities and creeds is
any distinction made of creed, color or
race.
Cruelties occur in Moslem countries, as
they occur among Christians. But while
we hear so much about the former do we
hear one word of Reproduction about the
latter The cruel poisoning of several
thousand Indians in South America, the
massacres of the Yomad Turkomans, the
terrible persecution and deportation Of
several millions of Jews in Russia, the
faying alive of negroes, the rolling of ne
crosses in spiked barrels, are passed by.
Moslems may be impaled and burned alive
by Christians, their women outraged and
their children killed, their villages reduced
to ashes, and the hysterioal brotherhood
whose disordered brains saw in Albanian
scarecrows gibbeted Bulgarians remains
voiceess. -Nineteenth Century.

Substitutes For Hay.

It Is not an unusual occurrence that the
weather in the spring is so dry that the
hay crop Is short or an almost total fail
ure. 1t is strange that some way cannot
be devised for irrigating at least a suffi-
cient amount of tillable land to insure the
farmer a good hay crop. There is no ration
that will take the place of this, and tho
facilities for making sure Of 1t are any.

should set apart certain portion of his

likely to have good crop anyway, and
