The Dispatch a week or two ago
made some reference TO the fact that
a bribery investigation was going on
at Topeka, and stated that the peo-
pies party papers of the county had
failed to tell their readers Of that
fact. Last week Bro. Boyce lets go
OF the bribery tale and goes for the
party for not carrying ont the planks
of it's platform. Upon that question
Mr.. Royce, we can have no discussion
with you, for the party representa-
tives did not keep their promises to
the people. This action however has
been condemned by the populists OF
more than one county since the legis'
lature adjourned. The failure to
carry out the promises Of the Abellne
platform by the legislature will not
be upheld by the party when it meets
10 county conventions this fall. We
do not believe however that such
failure was due TO what is known as
Bribery" but rather to the indivld-
ual ideas of the members of the leg
islature. Brother Royce, you say
that "The people having confidence
IN the promises thus made, and be-
lieving in the wisdom Of such legis-
latlon, etc." If the above Is true and
the majority Of the people believe in
the wisdom of the populist ideas of
legislation, why do you not join in
with them and help elect men to
Office who will carry out the prom.
ises Of the platforms upon which they
are elected7 We know you do not
like to have the short comings Of
your own party referred to although
You never fail to shed tears unlimited
over democratic and populistic short
comlngs. Congress is now in session
called together it is supposed, to
carry out the planks OF the repubh-
can national platform. Its work is
not as yet ended so that it Is not
known just what legislation will be
enacted. The only question settled
so far is that of Cuban recognition.
Last fall the republican party pro-
claimed TO the world the following:
"From the hour Of achieving their in
dependence the people Of the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles Of other American peo-
pies to free themselves from Europe
an domination. We watch with deep
and abiding interest the heroic battle
of the Cuban patriots against cruelty
and oppression, and our best hopes
60 out for the full success Of their |
determined contest for liberty. The
government Of Spain, having lost
control Of Cuba, and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resi.
uoub AuoLlOdh CLGlAoADp Va w OOLupLy
with the treaty obligations, we be-
llevs that the government of the
United States should actively use
its influence and good Offices to re-
store peace and give independence to
the island"
We wish Brother Royce would give
special attention to the six last words
land give independence to the island"
The senate questionsbly republican
has upheld this plank, the house un-
questlonably republican voted strong
ly against it. The HERALD will say
what the Dispatch never dared to
say for the opposition, that it be-
lieves the republican house voted
just right. Now sir, since parties
must be held to their platforms what
do you think of the action Of your
party friends on the Cuban question.

UL TIMATUM TO POWERS.
Must Find a Purchaser for Scranton
Franchise by Jan | or Local
Meu Will Get II.

The owners of the Scranton base ball
club have formally and definitely noti-
fled p. T. Powers president of the
Eastern league, that unless he finds a
purchaser for the club before Jan. /.
the franchise will be retained i'm this
city.
At the recent meeting of the league
in New York city the owners author
lied President Powers to find pur-
chaser, but did not designate any time
limit. Now that the Scranton stock
company promoters seem assured of
success and although their purchase
price would be only $500. consider
ably less than the figure named to
President Powers. the owners prefer
selling out at home and selling quickly.
According to The Tribune's informa-
tion, which may be relied upon as cor
rect, the leaders of the stock company
plan are ready to secure subscribers
beginning Jan. /, provided that the
franchise is not sold through President
Powers at that time. Following is the
stock company arrangement:
A hundred shares of stock are to be
sold at $50 each to secure a capital of
$1,000. OF this sum $4,000 is to be paid
for the franchise, players, etc, and
this Will leave an equal sum for a work.

season. subscriptions will be due as
follows: % per cent, Jan. 3; % per
cent Feb. l; so per cent, March |.
There will be an executive committee
of three who will assume all the active
and detailed work of management.
This committee will be the president
and treasurer vice president and Sec
retary Of the association.
The president will have full control
from the beginning to the end of the
season. No passes will be issued eX-
cept to each member of the commit
tee and to the newspapers. The Off
GERS will be elected by ballot.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the president, who is to be treas
urer also, will be the responsible head
of the association. On account of the
technical base ball knowledge required
Of one in that position, considerable
thought has been given to who shall
be chosen for that position. There is
common sentiment in favor of ThOm-
as r, Brooks of the present associa-
tion. He bas not promised to accent

who would probably be elected secre-
tary. would be willing. with the vice.
president, to assume the minor duties
under Mr.. Brooks direction.
The present owners realize that for
the sake Of peace with the league and
in order to give Manager Griffin op-
portunity to reorganize the team, the
future of the club should he determined
quickly. AS outlined in this article.
the matter will be finally settled dur
ing the first few days in January.
