This indeaiiga BILE man has bombarded the

said to have composed. The following is
brilliant sample: "Jessie Bartlett Davis says
that the favorIte music of dog-fancers should
be barcar olles (bark-arolIes)" The latest an
nouncement is that Miss Davis eats carrots
instead OF bonbons and that she is never with

actress does strange things of this kind and
proclams the fact abroad, it is safe to predict
that she dreams of starring.

POLITICS ON THE FOURTH.

While it is commonly regarded in bad
taste to mix partisan sentiment with the
usual patriotic uttsrances Of the Fourth
day of July, it is frequently done, and
the rule was probably never less re-
spected than it was on our last National
anniversary. And yet, while much OF
what was said may seem to have been
uttered from partisan motives, it was in
every way appropriate. For example,
Governor Mount Of Indiana, in an ad-
dress at Indianapolis last Fourth, is re-
ported to have rallied against many Of
the evils springlng up under existing
laws. The immigration laws are not suR-
ficiently restrictive; citizenship is too
free; too much cheap labor has been i'm
ported, and corporate greed has secured
valuable franchises from the people and
then abused it's privileges. he con-
demned the influence of the lobbyists as
menace to the Government, and trusts
are baneful, and he closed with this sig
nifcant allusion:
"Of all the dangers that mar our peace
and threaten our safety the element Of
discomfort is one Of the most potent.
This growing element will create unset
tied conditions and result in frequent
changes in policy and party control.
Whatever tends to srrsy class against
class, or TO engender strife, or stir up
hate or breed discomfort, I care not
whether it is the eloquence of the dema-
gogue or the enactment Of unjust laws,
both tend to revolution"

AS DOCTOR DEPEW SEES 1T.

The London Daily Graphic, a few
days ago, published an interview with
Chauncey M. Depew, in which the Doctor
is reported as follows;
"Bryan is only another name for dis
content with existing conditions. For
three years the American farmer has had
no paying market for his products or live
stock. Miner and manufacturer have
had tentative and spasmodic, but no regu-
lar business, and labor has found no
steady employment. This gave an op-
poTtnnity FOR new men with new fads to
say that they had patent remedy as
sort Of financial CuIe.all which would
start the wheels Of industry and give
good markets and full employment.
Organism represented this alleged cure
and hope. TWAS defeated by campaign
ofeducation and the promise ofprosperity
with @ new administration and q pro-
tective tariff, and also stability in our
currency. The disappearance OF Bryan
ism in the year 1900 at the next Presi-
dental election depends upon the full
flllment Of these promises, 1--we get the
promised legislation and then have good
times, Organism is dead. II we do not,
then there will be such an increase of
uneasiness and diacontent as to sweep
the country for Mr.. Bryan or some ex-
pertinent with financial and industrial
theories"
The advocate., 1897-07-14

The promised message from the Pres
ident recommending the creation Of a
commission to devise and report a
scheme Of currency reform, has not yet
been forwarded, and * reports from
Washington may be credited, the pro-
ject has, for the present at least, been
abandoned. A press dispatch of the 9th
inst. said that Senators Allison and
Quay, Representative DiDgley and other
party leaders called at the White House
that morning and had long conference
with President Mckinley. They urged
him to reconsider his determination to
send q special currency message to Con-
gress, and gave as o reason that the
sentiment in Congress was such that it
would be likely to arouse feeling and
cause friction that would delay speedy
action on the tariff bill. After the con.
ference Secretary Porter announced to
the newspaper men that it had been de-
Cided that it would not be expedient to
send in the message then, and that it
would not go in for several days atleast,
and it might be deferred altogether dur
ing the special session Of Congress.
Later dispatches say there will be no
such message before the regular session.
This currency reform business is Caus-
ing the Administration and It's party
following a great deal Of trouble.

HOW IOWA DEMOCRATS WERE CAPTURED
BY POPULISTS,

The Iowa Populists, under leadership
Of General Weaver, united with the
Democrats, adopting their platform and
their party name. In explaining the
situation and announcing its position
and assigning reasons therefor, the
Farmers Tribune says;
"There has been no sacrifice Of prinCi-
pie and no backward step. In fact, we
have simply gained the assistance Of
about 100000 Iowa voters to our cause,
and il would look very foolish indeed for
us TO kick out and say we won't well
come them nor work with them. Ac-
cessions are what we, as Populists, have
been striving for When we gained
them q few az time, few thousand
each year, we felt good, and now that
we have captured whole army we
should rejoice and be exceedingly glad"

whole army that is. That is the way

POWERS OF THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
EERS.

ERS.
The State Journal publishes letter
from Mr.. r. W. Turner, Secretary Of the
State Board Of Railroad Commissioners,
which discusses the powers Of the boards
The object in view by Mr.. Turner is
not clearly set out in the letter. While
he is secretary of the board, this letter
does not appear to be official, and if not
official, why is it published? II it is to
be taken as coming by authority and di-
rection of the board, that fact ought to
appear; on the other hand, if it is to be
taken as communication to the public
by Mr.. Turner in his capacity as q
private citizen, it would have been in
order to so state. Some Importance at
taches to this matter because Nc. Tur-
ner, in the letter, says "The Board OF
Railroad Commissioners cannot act ex-
cept upon complaint in due form OF
law" IL this be true, how are the peo
pie to understand the recent action OF
the board without any complaint In due
form of law, in requesting the presence
Of railroad managers at a meeting OF the
Commissioners called for the purpose OF
reducing freight ratesP And what is
meant by the action Of the board de-
manding reductions without any formal
complaint if there is no warrant in law
for such proceedingV And how shall
we construe the following language in
section 1928 Of the general statutes Of
1889, to.wit:
"Said Commissioners shall have the
general supervision Of all the railroads
in the State operated by steam X;
and shall inquire into any neglect or
violation Of the laws of this State by any
person, company or corporation engaged
in the bushes Of transportation Of per-
sons or property therein 4 y ., and shall
also from time TO time carefully ex-
anime and inspect the condition OF each
railroad in the State, and OF its equip
ment, and the manner Of its conduct and
management with reference to the pub
llc safety and convenience. Whenever
in the Judgment Of the Railroad Com
missioners it shall appear that any rail-
road corporation or other transportation
company fails, in any respect or particu-
lar, to comply with the terms of it's
charter or the laws Of the State, or
whenever in their Judgment any repairs
are necessary upon its road, or any ad'
dition to its rolling stock, or any addi-
ton to or change Of its stations or
statioD houses, or Gny change iIa its

THE Topeka Independent quotes the
Mail and Breeze, a Republican paper,
as saying that the Figures show that
there has been decrease Of Is per
cent in the assessment Of Kansas farms
in the last ten years. There has also
been decrease Of about AZ per cent. in
the assessment Of town lots in the same
time. There has been a decrease OF
about 40 per cent. in the assessment Of
personal property in the time" The
Populists came into power only last
January. They surely are not to blame
for the foregoing records.
