PARTISAN RANCOR.
An Effort Made to Remove Mrs.
Thorpe by Certain Populists.

There is movement to remove PO-
lice Matron Thorpe and appoint "a bet
ter Populist" in her place. The wom-
ans free silver league has considered
the case and has decided that Mrs
Thorpe has to go. The woman who
wants her place is Mrs. T. c. Henry
and she has been on Mrs Thorpe's
track since election
This would be quite the climax of
disgusting partisan activity. Mrs
Thorpe is not a partisan. She is simp-
ly a plain, quiet woman of indefatiga-
BILE energy, whose whole life is wrapped
up in the caring for the poor She first
appeared in charitable work under the
PopuliSt administration, and was so en-
ergetic that she inspired the subsequent
republican administration with admit
ration, and was retained although an
effort was made by the political barna-
cles to remove her.
Mrs. T. c. Henry has been Endorsed
by the ''women'S free silver club is
herself vice president of the local silver
organization and she will have all the
political pull necessary.
1t Is carrying partisanship a little too
far when it is made to apply to the po-
sition held by Mrs. Thorpe, and people
will not stand it.
The state Populist administration is
being hurt every day in Topeka by the
scrambling and fighting over petty of
fees by persons who have no real in
huence in the city.
The Topeka crowd of office seekers
ought to be suppressed by Gov Leedy
if he wishes to gain friends in this city
where he most needs them. We have
had enough of Republican police mis-
management Are the POpulistS going
to be no better? If they are not, Shaw
nee county will go back to its old Re
publican ma ority of 1000.

10000 ORPHANS
Have Been Made by the Late Mas
sacres in Armenia

New York, Feb. 4.-Announcements
are made by Spencer TRAIT chairman
and Frederick d. Green, secretary OF
the. national Armenian committee, that
the committee recently forwarded to
Turkey $36, 600. The committee has re-
ceived a cable message from the inter-
national committee at ConStantinOple Of
which the British ambassador is chair
man. acknowledging the remittance.
stating that the funds in hand are en-
tirely inadequate to meet the awful suf-
ferng and the investigation has shown
that not less than 10000 children have
been made orphans by the late massa-
creS.
These wards of Christendom, it is sta
ted, can be easily saved from starvation
or debasing enslavement in MOslem
homes and can be cared for at the rate
of dollar a month, but thousands will
perish before spring unless generous
gifts are sent at once to Brown Bros. &
Co, SO Wall street, New York, who are
the authorized treasurers of the COM
mittee.

WIPE IT ALL OUT.
Record of Yesterdays Debate on Bry-
an Resolution Expunged.

On motion of Mr.. I1obdeH of Lane
the house today voted to expunge from
the journal the record of the proceed
ings yesterday in which a lively debate
occurred over the proposition to invite
William J. Bryan to address the Iegis-
lature.
The resolution declared that Mr.
Bryan lis a gallant leader and cham>
pion of bimetallic money and a man
dear to the heart of every true Kan
san" This was stricken out on motion
of Mr.. Lobdell, who said: mo man in
Kansas denies that Mr.. Bryan is a no
BILE champion of bimetallic money, but
Mr.. Bryan himself knows, as every
other man on the floor of this house
knows, there are $4,000 of US in Kan
sas who do not agree with him and to
whom he is not particularly dear. How
ever, to make this invitation decent
and our record respectable, I move that
this part of the resolution be stricken
out, also the portion relating to the un-
dignified proceeding, demanding the
previous question, etc"
The motion prevailed with one dis
senting vote, Ward of Mitchell Pop0,
and the resolution will be recalled from
the senate for correction.
The house adjourned at noon till to-
morrow morning at 8.

IS NOT GEORGE TAYLOR.
California officers Ordered to Turn
the Hanford Suspect Loose.

Carrollton, Mo, Feb. photographs
have ben received by Sheriff Lewis of
the man captured at Hartford, Cal.
They bear no resemblance whatever to
George Taylor, and the sheriff wired
the officers to turn the man loose.
Webb City, Mo, Feb. A. B. Coo
per, a well known resident of this city,
has just returned from the Indian Ter
ritory, where he says he learned, on re-
liable authority. that George Taylor is
within a few miles of Tulsa, in his hid
ing place among the cliffs, heavily tim
bered, where few people dare to CO. and
where, as he puts it, no one desires to
meet George Taylor. The gentleman
who gives this information to Mr. Coo
per was once a resident of Browning
but now lives near Tulsa. He says
that Taylor could be captured within
a few miles of Tulsa were not the Off
GERS afraid of him and his gang. Tay-
lof openly boasts, so this man says,
that, situated as he is, he fears no at
tack and that, in any event, he will
never be taken alive.

BUTTERWORTH FLOPS
Ohio Gold Leader Modifes Views
Held During Campaign.

Cincinnati, Feb. 4.-Ex- Congressman
Ben ButterwOrth has caused something
Of a sensation by his views on free sill
yer, published in a local newspaper.
He said to a reporter last night he was
resOrted to as one of the greatest ele-
ments of a return of prosperity.
whether it will come as actual free
coinage of silver is as yet problemat-
ical," said he. 1T must come in some
such way, however. The promised era
of prosperity is sadly absent. 1 do not
think it will come from a. revision of the
tariff to any great extent. The only
tariff laws that could do the country
any good would be only such as would
directly improve the condition of the
labOring men and produce sufficient
money to properly conduct the affairs
of the government. The idea of high
protection, believe, as the people know
of me- is very bad. Under the McKin-
tenn of partnership between the manu-
facturer and the government, by which
great revenues were derived by eXtOr-
tionate taxation of the masses.
Il believe in protection when it will
directly improve the condition of the
workingman, but I do not approve of
what is popularity known the pro-
tective system, which simply robS the
people in general for the benefit of
comparatively few manufacturers sin
cerely hope that the new tariff law to
be enacted will not be similar to the old
Mckinley BILL
DO you expect swift return of pros
perity under the new administration?
Il hope for the best, but the condi-
ton of the country at the present time
is such as to cause the gravest appre-
tension
