WORKING FOR THE LYCEUM

| 49,
The following is an extract from
letter to w. b. Cross, OF this city
from HI. G. Middleton, secretary Of
the Southern Lyceum Association /:
Sup to the present 10 cities have
organized boards and are at work.
The following have finished their
work and now have fully
established institutions: Rich
mond, Va, Norfolk, Lynchburg,
Wilmington, Savannah, Augusta,
Columbus, Atlanta, Jacksonville,
Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Baton
Rouge, Vicksburg and Little
Rock--l4, as against l last Deem
Der = Augusta. The following
cities are at work: Charleston, 3.
c., Chattanooga, Tenn, Nashville,
jackson, Miss, and Shreveport.
They will probably finish by the
middle OF this month or first of
next. or course the season may
open by October 20 or %, but may
nearly as well begin in any city as
late as November 15 or December
l, if the canvass is not completed
with them until that time. We
particularly wish the work to be
successful in San Antonio this
year, as your city is the furthest
south, as Richmond is the furthest
north. There are a number
of intervening cities that will
enter next year. Nashville is
nearly completed, and the work
will be taken mp next week in
Memphis. 1t is possible that
some one will be sent to Houston
and Dallas to endeavor to get
those cities in this year"
(Signed) III. c. MIDDLETON,
Secretary.

HUNTING PARTIES.

Several hunters were out in the
country yesterday after quail but
most of them, after marching
through miles of brush and cactus
thorn were more content to pick
up few doves or Jack rabbits

peciaily as the thick cover and
burrs and thorns worked great
Hardship on their dogs.

The cashier looked excited the ether

he had opened the vault before he be-

the cashier. '1The fellows up there

The bookkeeper yawned. The son OF
wealthy parents, the Klondike stories
did not appeal to him as to the others
"Why don't you go up there?" he asked
carelessly.
The little eyes of the cashier twinkled
and he cried, joyfully: 81 ami"

clerk.

keeper.
"Where will you raise the dust?" ele

"Why, I've got it all planned out,
cried the cashier, speaking so eagerl.
that he fairly stumbled over his words
"The other day read in the paper

A LUMP OF CLAY.

A rich man sat in his velvet chair,
Looking backward DER life of care,
And his face was drawn with dark despair.
AS the time drew near when he must go,
He slowly rocked to and frow,
And dismally muttered: "Woe, ah, woe!'
He seemed 20 feel his end was near;
He gazed at the costly chandelier,
And sluddered as though struck with fear.
The wealth of his paatial home
Treasures from London, Paris and Rome
Seemed naught but mist and vanishing foam.
With trembling voice he was heard to say:
"My life has been spent in boarding away
Millions must leave in day.
"My soul is a aheet of parchment wide,
With selfisness written OH either side,
And my greed eacn day was multiplied
81 oppressed the workman and the poor
l turned the needy from my door,
For my soul cried, More! oh, give me more!
81 needed not the orphans cry;
My heart was stone to the widows sigh,
And now how wretchedly poor am |.
And his little soul crept far away
And left in his chair lump of clay,
Which was forgot when twas laid away.

From Captain Lloyd.

Capt Geo. w. Lloyd, of New Rochelle, New
York, sends us the following extract from
New York paper, with his comments:
The Hon. Jerry Simpson, formerly the Sock
less Socrates of Medicine Lodge, but nowsthe
siver-wheeled Brummei of the Populists, has
made strange admission to reporter Of our
esteemed cotemporary, the Washington Post
"It is difficult" Mr. Simpson is reported as
saying "to smash the trusts and combines and
other iniquitous combinations" Yet, this same
Mr.. Simpson AYERS that he is "proud to be
called Populist." If he admits that anything
is difficult, he has no right to be called P0pu-
list. The first Populist was that acute student
of gravitation who tried to lift himself over
the fence by grasping the straps of his boots.
The second Populist was the stirring man Of
business who set up dairy in North Carolina
for the manufacture of green cheese from nooh-
beams. The third Populist was the enthusiast
who founded Society for the Reform Of the
Oblinquity of the Ecliptic. Nothing is impos.
sible to Populist. Everything is easy to a
Populist, with the exception of silence and a
friendly feeling for Wall street. If Mr. Simp.
son doesn't find it as simple to smash the trusts
and combines and other iniquitous combinations
as it is to sit down, then Mr.. Simpson is no
good Populist, and may Justly be regarded as a
plutocrat in domino.
Please let me say to Bro. Simpson that
never consented to any one to be called Pop
ulist. I would rather be called Popocock.
The Peoples party is the one owe allegiance
to; but the name "United States party'' would
suit me much.
1t looks safe to say that the people can get
ready to celebrate the independence of Cuba
very soon "Viva Cuba Libre" Minister de
LONE gave himself away when he said, "Gen.
Lee was only rebel" Put up your umbrella;
your Grain" (reign) is over. Amen!

NO DARK LANTERN WORK
GOV. LEEDY LAYS DOWN THE LAW
To The LeavenwOrth Police Board.

L.EAvENWoRTH, March 22.-'Governor Lee
DIV wants no dark lantern proceedings i'll con-
nection with the transaction of business by the
police boards of the cities of the first class" is
the instruction given the Leavenworth board.
He wants a report made to him at the end OF
every month of all receipts and expenditures, the
latt> to be temized, showing every cent collect
ed through the channels of the department is
expended leeitimately, and for the best interests
of the community. The governor has also di-
rected the board to render TO the city council
similar report each month and that the records
be open to the inspection Of the tax payers.
President Freezing states that the board is go
ing to carry out the instructions of the governor
to the letter. 1t is anxious to have the public
know Just what it is doing, and to have all op-
pertunity to turn as much money into the gen.
eral funds of the city as possible.
When the new board took control it reduced
the salaries OF the patrolmen to $50 per month,
and by reason of this reduction the board will
employ few additional officers, which it would
not otherwise have been enabled to do.

Good Things from Manhattan Republic.

The legislature must answer for ats own sins.
They cannot be charged up to Gov. Leedy's
admirable administration.
A constitutional amendment for the extension
of full suffrage to women has passed both houses
of the legislature OF Washington.
Prof. Emerson, of Cornell University, has
been discharged because he made free silver
speeches in the last campaign. Lay on, Mac
duff.
1t is suspicious circumstance when the To-
peka Capital and other Republican and corpora
ton influences praise certain Popullss for their
"wisdom and conservatism" and call them
"sane" Populists, while the great majority of
the party leaders and workers are by these same
agencies called 'insane" for standing manully
to the last by the pledges which the party made
to the people.
For inconsistency the average Republican takes
the cake. Just now he is severely condemning
the Populists because they failed to enact certain
promised laws. Why this failure? A half-doz-
en- or more wishy-washy Populist legislators
were persuaded to abandon their party pledges,
and vote with solid Republican minority
against the egislation which the people demand
ed Now the Populist party is to be condemned
for the reachery Of these hafdozen or more
traitors, for which solid Republican minority
is largely responsible. 1t is all right for every
Republican legislator to vote against the laws
which the people demanded, but il is All unpar
donable sin if the Populst majority fails to re-
deem its pledges, after brave and manly fght,
through the treachery of few of its own legis-
lators who have been misled by the Republican
corporation lobby.

Words of Wisdom from Star and KanSan.

A Populism that sets itself in any way against
the highest possible education of the people IS
unworthy the name,
Buckle says "The greatest antagonist OF IN
to]erence is not humanity but knowledge
Beievsng this to be true, it seems to me the
better the people are educated the sooner we
will be free.
More and more it looks as ii the way ont OF
present conditions was by the use OF the taxing
power of the government to destroy immense
accumulations of wealth. Once give the people
an object lesson to show them that what has
been taken from them by private extortlon can
be restored by public taxation, and 1t Will be
wonderful the way they will take the hint.
When the Santa Fe railroad was built the
iron for the line between Emporia and Newton
cost $12o ton, laid down in ST. Louis. Now
steel rails can be bought for less than $50 tom
The argument against railroad legislation Is
based on the theory that we ought to keep on
paving interest on the $I2o, when we can dupll-
cate the property for $40.
Under municipal ownership in Belfast, the
price OF gas has been reduced to 90 cents I 900
feet, while in Topeka the people are still paying
S1 60 cents a thousand. The cut in Belfast
from GO cents to 90 cents was made because the
Dro6ts were considered unnecessarily large. In
deed they amounted last year to $327,o921o,
which was used in payments for additions to the
works. meter investments, contributions to the
public library, interest OIL mortgages etc.
The principle of municipal ownership is being
vindcated everywhere, and it is one upon which
the people of Kansas are taking no backward
steps.

Just Plain Stealing.

When the Republican state administration
found they were beaten last fall, they made
grab for everything in sight, and nearly every
fund was exhausted and big deficiency was left
in its place Speaking of this, Governor Leedy,
in an interview, said
"When used the word grab in reference
to the state printers office, used it advisedly'
When the Republicans found that they were
whipped in 1896 they proceeded to spend all
the money they could From the fall election
to the inauguration of the present administra-
ton the sum of $4,000 was spent for state
printing alone The printing plant ran day and
night. They even dug up the report of the ad-
iutant- general of the civil war period, and print
ed ! 900 volumes of it at cost OF $4,000
There has probably not been call tor this re-
port in quarter of century, and at the time
the Republicans reprinted it, there were 100
dust-covered volumes in the vault"
