Governor Leedy Has a Scheme
for the Relief of the
Southwest.
States May Build a Railroad
and Own the Controlling

He Says a Company Stands
Ready to DO the Work OF
Construction.

MANKATO, Kan, May 2S.-Two thou.
sand Populists held an ''indignation'

rates, and this meeting afforded Gov

surprise upon the people of Kansas.
After referring to the recent supreme

authority of the interstate commerce.
commission, he declared that the time
had come for the people of the West to
act and he asserted that they must them
selves furnish the needed relief from eX-
,rbitant freight rates. Thereupon he
proceeded to outline a plan
which, he said, had been ma
turing for four months. He an
nounced that he appeared before the
meeting as the representative of a com
pany of railroad men, who desired to &C
into partnership with the public i'll the
building of a railroad from some poll
in Central Nebraska through Kansas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas
to the gulf. He said the company ht
spoke of was able and ready to complete
the road, provided the public would take
the majority interest in it, and that thu
public need not put up II cent unit
the railroad should be completed.
The Proposition Outlined.
The proposition is that the states anC
municipalities shall hold the majorit,
of stock. The men associated with hin
did not propose to take i'll any outsid'
capital, save that of the states anC
municipalities, which would be i'll tn,
majority, and they proposed to run tn
road themselves or to allow the majorltj

Turkish Ministers Refuse to Even Discuss

That Point.
LONDON, May 2S.-The correspondent
of The Standard at Constantinople says:
The council Of ministers has decided ,
prolong the armistice. 1t will refuse
even to discuss the retrocession of Thes-
sally, but will leave the other points for
considerati~ to the powers. So far as
the note to the European arbitrators is
concerned. there can be no doubt thu
whether the sultan is only blutfing or Is
the victim Of popular pressure, a peace
such as Europe expects cannot be ar
ranged without risk of the gravest com
plications.

sented Il report to the sultan urging
that the while of Islam was fully deter

has length to recommend it almost in
proportion to the size it has lost. and
the pretty fall Of lace at the wrist Is

What every one must have is IA crush

accessories are in style, but these two
are essential If the wardrobe Is to be
kept up to date.
The ribbons, in plain colorS, llofal

was not uniform, varying slightly
according to locality. Slaves and

been settled for in barter, rot IN
coWries. Prints and cotton cloth,
iron spikes and brass wire have proved
the most acceptable payments for such
articles of merchandise. But with
few exceptions of this kind, which
belong to export commerce, cowries
have for ages furnished the money
medium. Barth, the traveller tells us
that in Mumyoma, Western Africa

being assessed so many shells polltaS,
so many for every slave and pack

Free State with its railways, steam

before many years exterminate cowry

use with the coming Of civilized
usagos.

THEY DON'T PAY TAXES.
BLALOCK INVESTIGATING COM.
MITTEE PROBING DEEP.
Seeking to Keep Secret. Some Queer
Discoveries in Failure to
Pay Taxes.
Pay Taxes.

The Blalock investigating committee
broke through into mammoth cave of
mysteries in the course of their examina-
tions in the executive department.. The
members were all digging away vigorous
ly when the ground suddenly became
very unsteady under foot and they felt
for the first time the thrilling sensation
of having made d discovery which they
anticipated but hoped would never be
realized. The five probing economists
huddled up closer together and the word
passed from lip to lip: Don't let the
papers get hold of this, for heavens
sake, for If you do they will make a
great sensation out of it,
Now, this is where the Blalock COM
mittee is dead wrong and failed to show
it's usual good intuition on subjects of
this kind, for, while they are investigat-
ing, there are still others who are in yes
tigating them, and, swear as much as
they please, the result of their labor
from day to day will leak out in some
way or other.
The committee is beginning to make
discoveries, and the suspicious manner
I in which they cut glaQces at each other
when questioned by outsiders is the
strongest indication of how the work is
progressing. They have been delvlng
into the data in the executive depart
ment, and for a greater portion of the
time they were assisted by two expert
accountants. They have found, it is
claimed, that the presidents of two
thirds of the banks, lawyers, doctors,
presidents of railroad and telegraph
companies and hundred other cases of
a similar character have been avoiding
taxation. Only thirty-six presidents OF
railroads and banks together in the state
paid the regular tax of $40 imposed by
the law of 1896, whereas, the records
will show that in the state there are LOT
| bank presidents alone, not to speak of
the numerous railroad presidents.

New OrK journal.
agent of prosperity" was inaugurated;
worse, indeed, than a month ago, and
affairs are on the decline They grow
bad, not better, as this is written.
And this is the reward the American
workman is receiving for that vote be
turned over to republicanism on Han
mas promise that Mckinley would find
HIM plenty of work at pocket-filling
prices.
Here is specimen of what goes on
here today. The Jones-LaughIin Co.,
limited, has conducted business and
had an existence for forty-eight years.
Moreover, it has good repute among
wOrkmen as one of the fairest and
most generous of all who hire men by
the day. L want you to remember
that the JOnes-Laughlin Company is
thus fairly regarded and held in hi 9Th
esteem by the work people. AS | tell
the Jones Laughlin story you can
then form some estimate of what 9TH
er firms must be ike when these were
held so lily-white and tender in their
treatment of their people.
Jones Was for Mckinley.
The Jones-Laughlin Company are
iron folk. They make about all the
steel and iron matter that Carnegie
does save armOr plate. Jones is an old
time war horse of republicanism. In
1884, when Cleveland defeated Blaine,
Jones was in control of the national
republican campaign, the Hanna of
the hour. In the last fight Jones and
his firm gave heavily toward McKin-
ley's success. Many a time and oft
they sent train loads of their workmen
to Canton to listen to prattle and slush
and gush from McKinley's front
porch.
Jones was one of the earliest to show
his wOrkmen by every argument in
his power that the election of McKin-
ley meant prosperity, steady work at
better wages and, on the dubious con-
trary, that the election of Bryan SPELL
ed black and hopeless ruin for every
hand tOiler in the land. The men be-
lieved Jones they voted as he advised.
Mckinley was elected and inaugurated
and then every workman leaned back
and waited for that tide Of prosperity
to rise and flow to his enrichment.
After handful of months Jones and
the Jones-Laughhn Company do
this, and this, then, is the prospect
ty" they prated of:
