The Galveston Tribune has these
complimentary words to say Of the
representatives sent down there to
investigate and confer with the Tex
as representatives concerning future
relief from freight extortion to the
gulf. The VOICE inadvertently call
ed the trip a 'junket" last week.
We wish to withdraw that word, and
believe the Tribune's report will
justify its withdrawal. The Til
bune says;
The committees representing the
Kansas and Oklahoma legislatures,
which are here looking into the rate
situation are not losing any time 10
their search for information on the
physical conditions Of this port. They
are up early and keep pretty busy all
day travelling over the docks, ter
minals and the points of commercial
interests Of the town.
They 90 about this thing without
any frills. The hot weather here is
not exactly conducive to the comfort
of the committeeman, and they do not
hesitate to "shuck" their coats and
get such comfort as they can. These
men are not dudes. They care little
for appearances and nothing for dress
But they seem to be very much 10
earnest and declare they have a pur.
pose and are formulating plan which
will result in great good to the sec.
tions they represent.
Next week We will publish their
report.

BOOdlers and BOOdling.

The Populist party is the only one
in Kansas that has ever had the
courage to investigate and expose
It's own adherents. All legislative
investigations heretofore have been
of partisan nature. This one has
no partisan end in view. 1t is d.
recting its efforts to finding the
rascals in whatever party they may
develop.
AS result Of this courageous act
the Republican press is trying vigor-
ouSly to inculcate the idea that the
PopuliSt legislature was the most
corrupt outfit that ever assembled at
the state capital. They are aware
that not a single Republican legisla-
ture has ever assembled that did not
stink to heaven with corruption.
Much of their putrld performance
has leaked out, considerable of it
coming to the very doors of Sumner
county, but coat of whitewash has
always been administered and ap-
pearances thus maintained. They
are also aware that the Republican
legislature of Iowa is right now en-
gagged in such robberies that the
stalwart Iowa State Register, edited
by the Clarksons, is calling halt;
also that the Republican caucus
nominee for United States senator
in Kentucky, one Hunter, is al this
time under indictment by the federal
grand jury for offering little bride
OF $4,000 for a vote. They are
aware OF all these things but they for
get them and it is therefore neces.
sary to refresh their memory occas-
ionally.
Its likewise necessary to remind
them that the Republican members
as a rule were securely punched on
the corporation side of every bill
tor which it was necessary to bride
a few Populists to make a majority
where such was obtained. Whetb.
er the Republicans were there BY
conviction, whether because they
were bought for Is cents each, or
whether they got a good price, we
know not-but they were there every
time-this We know.
In view of all these things they
are indeed handsome outfit to be
calling the skillet black, don't YOU
Think
But we are off our text. We
started out to commend the invest.
eating committee and condemn the
guilty. We are glad the Populist
party has the nerve to go after its
boodlers. 1t had ought to have
done it before now. 1t will strength.
en- the party in the eyes of the peo-
pie and enable them to avoid the
barnacles in the future.
The only state character so far
impugned is ex-Gov. Lewelling.
Other representatives have been
touched but we leave them to their
constituencies.
The evidence is convincing that
Lewelling was on the make. Warden
Landes testifes that he urged him to
recommend the purchase by the
state of a tract Of coal land for which
the state had no use, suggesting that
there would be $3.50 in it. SEN
ator Titus testified that Lewelling
wanted him to introduce in the
committee substitute for the text
book bill, urging upon him finally
that there would be Something in
it" for both of them if he would do
it. The VOICE cannot think that
these men would wantonly incrim.
mate Lewelling by false testimony.
The writer is thoroughly acquainted
With these men and must put credence
in their testimony. Gov. Lewelling
was in Topeka at the time but

An Auspicious Beginning.

The Library Dramatic club enter
tanned a large and appreciative audi
ence last evening at Turner Opera
house with the amusing three-act
comedy, 'Charley's Aunt" Consid-
cred in the light of an amateur under
taking, the production was most
meritorious one and those who con-
tributed their abilities to the cast are
entitled to high credit for the success
full rendition of the play. The club
has certainly made a gratifying start
in the matter of providing free reading
rooms in our city, and it is to be
hoped that it's future efforts to raise
funds by entertainments will be as well
sustained as was the initial venture,
which Melted nice nucleus for the
library project. An enjoyable feature
of last evenings entertainment was
the very excellent music provided by
the orchestra of twelve pieces under
Prof. Hardege baton. This organiza-
ton should by all means be kept up.

in honor of their twentieth wedding

sumptuous supper was served and all

agreed they had passed delightful
evening. -Oconomowoc Republican.
The working of the electric valve
recently placed in the waterworks
tower was tested by the water commits
sion Monday afternoon by throwing
water from Main street bridge. The
test was reported to be very satisfac-
tory and the valve will no doubt prove
a very handy contrivance, as it per-
mits of an instant change from low or
standpipe pressure to direct pressure.
The valve came from a firm at St.
Joseph, Mich, and was placed in posi-
ton by an expert.

Musicale and Dance

The Concordia society will open the
musical season of 1898 with a concert
on the evening of January 1. In ad-
dition to some of Watertown's popular
singers who have so often delighted
us with their sweet songs and who are
too well and favorably known to re-
quire special mention, our citizens
will have an opportunity, the first in
many years, to again listen to our
own Richard Hardege, who will play,
as the following program shows, sew
eral violin solos.
Years ago, in the good old times,
when music, song and drama were
more appreciated in Watertown than
at present, Mr.. Hardege's appear
ance on the concert platform was al
ways greeted with joy, and he never
failed to charm the most eXacting of
audiences by his artistic and beautiful
playing. May we hope that his reap
pearance means a revival Of the old
time interest. This concert ought to
be so well patronized that a repetition
of such an elevating entertainment
will be not only possible, but actually
called for. The admission for gentle
men will be 50 cents, with the priv
lege and invitation to bring their
ladies free of charge. Come one and
all and help to make the first of the
New Year grand success. Dancing
will be the order of the evening after
the concert.

FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

Paper vests and paper blankets are
among the late novelties to be found
on sale at Schiller & Wegemann's
The paper is crinkly and parchment
like and is made of spruce fiber. 1t is
said to beimpervious to wind and moist
ure. It is claimed that a paper vest
worn over the underwear or under the
coat, the same as an ordinary waist
coat, is just as serviceabe as buck
skin or chamois protector" in keep
ing the warmth and shutting out the
cold. A folded newspaper across the
chest has long been recognized as a
very cheap protection against cold
in the lungs. One advantage of the
paper vest is that it can be removed
as soon as the wearer goes indoors.
The buckskin protectors worn under
the clothes are uncomfortabiy hot in a
room of average temperature. Anoth-
er point in favor of the paper vest is
it's cheapness. 1t costs so cents. A
paper blanket 7Ox90 inches costs 81.
