SENATOR PEFFER's CAUSE.
J. w. Morphy Tells What he Has
Done in the Senate.

The fact that Senator PETER is not
coming home to work for reelection
is responsible for number of petty at
tackS which have been made upon him,
personally and officially, by the man
ayers or representatives of other can
didates.
]. W. Morphy the manager of Sena-
tor PETERS business interests in this
city, while discussing the subject, among
other things said today:
Senator PETER will not come home
to the senatorial caucus He has been
in congress for nearly six years and has
not missed a single roll call on any
proposition. He would not like to have
the records show that he deserted his
post for the first time for personal and
selfish interests. He assumes that he
was sent to Washington to perform
certain duties and that the men sent
to the legislature are performing their
duty. Under these circumstances he
thinks that it will be as we'll for him to
proceed with the work which he is paid
TO do and leave the matter of perform
ance of duty on the part of the state
legislators to the men elected to do
that work.
1T is said that he is getting too old
to serve a second term 1t is curious
that a man who is too old to perform
his duties has been able to be present
at every sitting of the senate in six
years, and that in four months preced-
ing the election he filled appointments
in six different states and did not miss
a single one of them.
1T has been said that Senator PETER
made a charge at certain places in
Kansas this year for speeches made.
These statements are untrue. Senator
PETER made no charge and received
nothing for any speech made in Kansas
since he has been in the senate.
considerable is said of the small
amount of work done by the senator.
What Kansas senator ever accomplish
ed much during his first term, notwith-
standing the fact that all but Senator
PETER belonged to the majority? What
one of them ever did more during their
first term than follow their leaders?
When Senator PETER was in the state
senate belonging to the majority party
he secured the passage of five bills
They were: First, to reduce lawyers
fees in foreclosure cases; second, to re-
move public officers guilty of gambling
or drunkenness; third to provide for ar
bitra ton in certain cases; fourth, to di-
vide Howard county; to provide a

safe, that is we would not be paying
our debts with fifty cent dollars, and
confidence would be restored.
1t is true the prearranged plans were
set in motion, Mckinley touched the
electric button and the steam rushed
into the cold cylinders and the promised
revival started off on its mission to
clothe the naked, and feed the hungry,
and with Whatresuits; what followed in
it's wake, bank failures almost without
precedent, strikes, and notices of reduc-
lions in the laboring mems wages, and
it still goes on, each day brings it's
fresh supply of failures to swell the al
ready great losses that count into the
hundreds of millions.
Men everywhere, business men, that
class we have been hearing so much
about are resorting to every means pos
Sible to end an existance made unbear-
able by this promised wave of prosper
ity. I would advise you to give your
undivided attention to the workings of
your own party until you get it in bet
ter shape, and can show better results,
and if it is possessed with the amount
of intelligence you claim for it, for the
sake of a suffering people call it into
requisition at once
The people of Kansas are safe and
need none of your attention, they have
a good governor in whom they trust,
surrounded by wise and safe counse-
lOrs, a legislature composed of capable,
representative men, men in whose
hands the interests of the state will
be safe, men who would look with the
utmost contempt upon anythlnS tnat
saVOrS of reputation or the cripling or
destroying of any legitimate business
interest within the state. The idea of
a majority of the voters of Kansas
whose very interest lies within her Dor
ders, electing men to represent them
who would not hold their every interest
sacred, is too preposterous to ever find
its way into print to be read by an en-
lightened people.
Such rot can only find a Judgment in
q brain clouded by the lowest order of
partisan prejudice.

NATIONAL MILITARY PARK.
Speaker Reed Promises Hearing for
the Vicksburg Bill

Washington, Jan. 19.-Speaker Reed
and several members of the house COM
mittee on rules gave an audience to
day to several men representing the
Society of the Army OF the Tennessee
and the NickSburg National Military
Park association. These organizations
are anxious to secure consideration in
the house for the CStchings bill to es-
tablish a national military park at
Vicksburg.
This bill was introduced at the last
session of congress and its passage rec
commended unanimously by the commit
tee on military affairs. 1t provides for
the purchase of 1900 acres of land at
Vicksburg at a cost not to exceed $780,
600, and for it's Improvement as a MILL
tary park similar to those at Chicka-
manga and Gettysburg. On account of
other business the bill has been laid
aside and cannot be brought up for con-
sideration until the speaker and the
rules committee consent.

$4,000 TO PAY LEGISLATORS.
The Bill Passed in IS Minutes-A1l
Can Now Draw Pay.

Representative Lobden addressed
the speaker at o'clock yesterday even
ing and asked unanimous consent to
introduce a bill at that time. The mem
bers were tired and hungry, and want
ed to get out of the hall.
Are there any objections?" inquired
the speaker.
Lets hear what the bill is, first
said Walters of Labette.
By this time the bill had reached the
chief clerk, who read: AN act max
ing appropriations for legislative ex-
penditures."
Instead of objections, applause came
from all parts of the house when the
members realized that provision was
thereby made for them to draw their
first inStallment of per diem and mile
age.
Il move" said Mr.. LobdelI, that the
rules be suspended and the bill adj
vanced to second reading
Consent, consent" came from a doZ-
en- parts of the house.
Marty of Clay county inquired how
the bill compared with appropriations
made for similar purposes by the leg
islature of 1895.
The bill is now upon its second read
ing" said the speaker
Il move you, Mr.. Speaker" said Mr..
Lobdell, that an emergency be de-
clared and that the bill be read the
third time
This was taken by consent, and in Is
minutes after the bill had been pre-
scented, it had been passed upon a roll
call and $4,000 was appropriated.

LEEDY ON NEW TREATY.
Objects to the King of Sweden as
Arbitrator.

Gov. Leedy regards the new arbitra
ton treaty between the United States
and England as likely to result in en-
tangling alliances He said:
Il think the treaty is one of the en-
tangling alliances against which we
were warned by the builders and foun-
derS of the republic.
THE hands of the United States gov
eminent ought not to be tied in mat
ter of this kind, but kept free to be
used in cases Of emergency, as the
people desire to have them used
Continuing, the governor said:
Il object to the appointment of the
King of Sweden as arbitrator By rea-
son of the fact that Sweden is a minor
power of Europe, the king would be
compelled to yield to the opinions of
the greater powers. Having no inter
ests on this continent, the kings envf-
ronments and circumstances would
easily lead him to see everything
through English spectacles.
Il object further, for the reason that
the Monroe doctrine claims the right
and duty of the United States to inter
fere in all matters concerning this con-
tinent. To make a treaty that would
minimize and reduce the authority and
prestige of this country is ill-advised.' -

senate. He has hopes to secure the
passage of his bill to reduce the price
of the Congressional Record to 81 per
year, in order that every citizen may
know what the government and con-
gresS are doing. He expects. good re-
suits from his efforts to secure irriga-
ton legislation. One substantial re-
form secured was that of shutting off
funeral junkets. The funeral of a con-
gresham who lately died cost about
one-tenth what the average cost OF
each was before Senator PETER began
to agitate the matter. He has pre-
scented more educational matters on the
money question, the land and trans
portation questions and the labor Ques-
ton than any other Populist in the
country. He has been ridiculed and
belittled because he engaged in the
work of getting the Popunst side of
these questions before the people
Senator PETER is in no combinations,
will go into none, and is simply anxious

sTERNE HIS FRIEND.
Clyde McCarter Will be Employed
Through the Senator's Efforts.

Senator W. E. Sterne of this city made
brief but eloquent plea for the en-
ployment of a crippled boy by the SEN
ate as telephone clerk, yesterday after
noon. The boy is Clyde McCarter, the
son of a Shawnee county farmer. He
has been attending a Topeka business
college, but recently his funds gave out
and more are now necessary for him to
complete his course. On account of his
unfortunate condition he can only per-
form work of a light nature, and it was
with the hope of earning sufficient
money to enable him to remain in
school that he sought employment from
the senate.
The boy was named for the position
of telephone clerk by Senator Titus
pop, Harper county,, but imnne diately
after his motion to employ the boy,
Senator Jumper called attention to the
fact that a committee had been ap-
pointed to consider the employment of
all additional help and moved to defer
action on the matter. This looked as
though the boy might be shut out, and
Senator Sterne took the floor.
81 am we'll aware said he, that ii is
impossible for a Republican to receive
reason wish to state that this boy is
the son of a Shawnee county farmer
who is a thorough Populist. He is try
ing to work his way through business
college and must earn money to com
plete his course. The presiding officer
of this body told me that the boy at
tended his school some years ago, and
that he never had a brighter pupil. He
is unfortunate AS you can see, and |
think it is but a question of common
humanity to employ him in the tele-
phone ROOM"
was passed 1nstructing the committee
to employ the boy

ISLAND WASHING AWAY.
Sea Fast Engulfing a Famous Duck
ing Ground.

Cape Charles City, Jan. 19.-Slowly,
but surely, the sea is washing away
Cobb's Island, and it is only a matter of
time when this pretty summer resort
will be entirely under water. Last week
the foundation of the NJ. E. church,
south, was washed away. Today the
rear of the building was engulfed. and
within a week the rest of the pretty
structure will probably follow.
The life saving station alone is now
located on the comparatively dry spot.
This is located at the southern point of
the island, facing the inlet and with its
back to the sea 1t is one of the most
important stations along this coast and
has a splendid record among Ife-sav-
erS.
Cobb's Island is regarded by the hun
tiers as the best of eastern ducking
shores.

TO PROHIBIT WILD BONDS.
Brown of Pratt, Would Stop Their Is
suance.

Representative Brown of Pratt has
introduced a bill to prohibit counties
and townships from voting aid or sub
scribing for stock or to loan it's credit
for any purpose except public buildings
and bridges and school houses. and for
the purpose of refunding outstanding
bonds.
Mr. Brown said today to a reporter
for the Journal:
This bill simply prohibits municipal
tiles from INDUCING in any further
wildcat speculations, in the way of vot-
ing bonds for salt wells, street railways
and railroads and sugar mills, or any
thing of this kind.
4 feel said Mr.. Brown that the
people are already burdened with more
of this sort of business than they can
stand. and in my judgment the passage
of such a bill would prove very bene-
fetal to taxpayers who are very often
compelled to pay heavy taxes for the
support of institutions of the character
named that are absolutely worthless as
well as useless

To the Editor of The State Journal
On the editorial page of the Kansas

found an article headed, kansas IN

slowing many fattering compliments
upon the outgoing administration for
which 1 offer no objection, he common
ceS very early and without trial to in
augurate war upon the incoming POpu-
list administration headed by Governor
Leedy.
For the past two years every depart
ment of the government of Kansas has
been under absolute Republican rule,
Will this ready writer with his fertile
brain be kind enough to point out
when. and where anything of n sub
stantial character was accomplished for
the lettering of the conditions of the
people in a general way, in what re-
spect was it an improvement on Cover
nor 1ewelling' administration who dur
ing his entire term of office labored IN

When the Republican party in Kan
sas under the leadership of Governor
MorriH took charge of the state govern
ment much ado was made over the re-
demption of Kansas, what did that re-
demption amount to.
Did they elect and send to the United
States senate a man superior to Senator
PETER, think not. then where are the
fruits An anxious, interested people

happen, the ms went out and the outs
went in, and 1 suppose it will be safe to
say that a more motley hungry hoard
of small fry politicians never infested
the state house than at the opening of
Governor Morrills administration. 1
have always believed the governor to be
better man than he got credit for but
who under heaven could accomplish
anything good surrounded by such in

WON'T DRINK ANYTHING.
House Defeats Resubmis sion but
Doesn't Want Water.

The attitude of the house of repre-
sentatives is certainly very uncertain
upon the question of liquid refresh
mentS. Last week a reSubmission res
olution was buried and yesterday res
olution instructing the sergeant-at-arms
to provide water tanks and water at
suitable and convenient places in the
hall was voted down.
Representative Armstrong introduced
the following:
Resolved, That inasmuch as a ma
jortiy of this house has indicated its
preference for water, we therefore in
struct the sergeant-at-armS to make
such provision as will supply to the
members of this house sufficient re-
freshment of that character"
Some misund understanding arose in the
consideration of the resolution and re-
suited in it's being defeated by a one
sided vote.
