which is destined to attract attention.

The sentiment of Americans, who
are worthy of the name, is, in a few
words, Give Cuba an equal chance
with Spain" This can be done merely
by recognizing the belligerency of the
Cuban patriots, and will not involve
war with Spain unless Spain shall be
the aggressor. Spain now can get all
the arms and ammunition and fit out
all the vessels she wants to in the
United States. Why should not strug
Cling Cuba be given equal rights with
her oppressor, especially in this land
of the free?

How Leedy and Morrill, Used
Their Contingent Funds,

The republican press of the state
has objected to the manner In which
Governor Leedy spent his contingent
fund, the Objectionable point being
the $4,000 paid David Martin and
David Overmeyer for their assistance
In the insurance cases against McNall
in the federal courts, and In the stock
yards, scrip and screen cases. 1t ia
true that governor Leedy spent the
entire appropriation made, but it is
also true that governor Morrill, spent
his; the difference being that COVER
nor Leedy spent his to enforce the
law, while Morrill, spent his to unseat
pOpuliStS whose terms had not ex-
pired in order that some republicans
might have their places. Morrill,
used $3,269 from his contingent fund
to get ex-senator Rodgers, regent
OF the University, out of office in order
that j. r. Buttons law partner might
have that place, little 800 per
annum job. This together with 9th
er amounts spent in the same
manner, exhausted his fund and he
was compelled to ask the legislature
fOran appropriation OF $500 to pay
the costs in the Rodgers case.
Morrill, paid $2,O2S out of his con-
tlngent fund to secure the removal
OF senator Householder from the
state Board OF Charities and had to
call upon the legislature again for a
deficiency appropriation OF $3.50.
1T will be seen from this showing
that the last republican administra-
ton thought it wise to spend about
5000 to secure the unexpired portions
OF the terms OF office of a few popu-
lists, and yet they criticise
governor Leedy for spending IS, 900 to
secure the enforcement of the laws
governing insurance. the stockyards,
and the mining industries. Cover
nor Morrill, paid out of his contin-
gent fund $3.50 to that distinguished
patriot who recently accepted the
position OF postmaster at Newton in
| order to prevent an old soldier from
receiving it, the Hon, Sam Peters,
for assisting in the attempt to re-
move John Briedenthal from the
office of Bank Commissioners.
He paid $50 to prominent short
grass republican for his services In
defending Geo. Clark, presant candi.
date for secretary of state on the re-
publican ticket, in the suit brought
against him by Mrs. Lease which
grew out of her removal from the
, State Board of Charities.
He paid w, A. s. Bird, a republican
lawyer OF Topeka, $500 for the service
he rendered in removing captain
White, a pOpulist member of the
State Board of Charities in order
that some republican might have his
job.
| He paid 800 to Joe Reed, a repub-
| lican lawyer OfTopeka, for assistance
rendered the attorney generals Office
in small Kansas City case.
He paid from his contingent fund
$500 30 the republican Board of Par
don~, in addition to the regular
salary they received, under the pre-
tense that it was paid for over time

Inc next chapter, page 40I, is an
act providing for the assessment and
taxation OF the property OF telegraph
and telephone companies, another
class OF property amounting to many
thousand dollars that has escaped
taxation until the Peoples Party
came into power. This was a law
passed making the property of these
corporations bear their Just proper
ton Of the taxes. Why did not the
Republicans pass such a law? Be
cause these corporations were their
friends.
THE BANKING LAW.
ing but good words for the banking
law passed by the last legislature
(See page 9S). Drawn by a Populist
bank commissioner, John w. Bret
denthal and passed by a POpulist
Legislature it has brought the bank
ing interests OF the state under con-
troll and added to the security OF
every man or woman who has a dol
lar on deposit.
GRAIN INSPECTION LAW.
Every farmer in the state who has
had grain to ship has protested in
the past against the system whereby
his grain was inspected and weighed
not by disinterested parties but I'M
der the direction of the boards of
trade and grain gamblers. The farm
ers could get no relief however until
the Peoples Party legislation came
into power when by one stroke (See
page 306) this power was taken
away from the boards of trade and
vested in the state where it belonged.
STOCK SHIPPERS LAW.
The small farmer who has but a
single load of cattle or hogs often
feels that it would be to his interest
to market his stock himself but the
railroad companies put up a bar
against the small shipper by refusing
return transportation to the shipper
OF a single car of stock. This injus-
tice the last legislature corrected by
requiring railroads to furnish return
putting the small farmer on the same
basis with the heavy shipper. (See
page 300.
ANTITRUST LAW.
An effort was made by the last
legislature to check the inrOads
the trust system is making and a law
was passed prohibiting the fOrma-
ton of such institutions in the state
of Kansas and providing penalties
for violation OF the same.
FEES AND SALARIES LAWS.
Three laws We're passed by the last
legislature directed against the sys-
tenn OF fees and salaries. The first
one, page 273, reduced the fees and
salaries OF county officials and COM
pei a record OF all fees collected. The
second, page 2l5, put the Clerk of the
Supreme Court on u salary and re-
quired him to account to the State for
all fees collected. The third, page,
2O1, required the Clerks of Appellate
Courts to account for the fees they
collect.
PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Among the beneficial laws passed
by the legislation was the act
authorizing cities to obtain gas
light, electric lights, electric power.
water or heat either by purchase or
construction (see page 1917. This
will enable cities to own their own
public utilities and is a great step

toward the utter elimination of the
franchise grabber.
THE STOCK YARDS AND SCHOOL
BOOK LAW.
The story of the stock yards and
school book law have been told in
detail and it is useless to repeat it
here. The most powerful lobby that
ever attended a Kansas legislature
was on hand to prevent the passage
OF these two important acts. The
cooperation of the Republican mi
nOrity in each house was assured
from the start and every effort was
made to corrupt enough Populist
members to make the Republican mi
nority a majority, but they failed ut
terly and the people OF Kansas today
are reaplng the benefits of these
wholesome POpuliSt measures.
LEGISLATIVEE EXPENSES.
A favOrite charge which is being
continually reiterated by the Repub-
lican press is that the legislature was
extravaganza. that the legislative
halls were filled with a horde OF I'M
necessary employees, and that public
money was recklessiy squandered
The facts are shown by the state
auditors books. There a record OF
the money drawn and the names of
the persons who drew it can be found.
These records show that in 1895 the
Republican legislature had $50 en-
plOyees, 204 OF whom We're on the
house payroll and 131 on that of the
senate. In 1897, with both houses
controlled by POpulists, the house
payroll contained 112 names, and
the senate's So, making a total of 200,
which was 135 less than in 1895.
II the Legislature OF 1897 had a lot
ofuseless employees, what about the
Republican army of employees in
1895?
Now, as to the actual money paid
out at each session. In 1895, the
total payments of Legislative ex-
penses were $50, 229. AZ, while in 1897,
S72,O2O1O was paid out. When
figures on Legislative expenditures
are made it should be borne in mind
that the salary and mileage of men,
bers Is liked by constitutional enact
ment, and is therefore a matter over
which the members have no control.
Ii the amounts paid for this purpose
are deducted, the remainder will
show the amount expended over
which the legislature did have direct
control. No compilation of the
amounts drawn for salary and mile
age by members OF the 1897 legisla-
ture has yet been made, but in 1895
the amount drawn for this purpose
was $36,327. The number of mem
bers and of the district remain I'M
changed from year to year, so that
the salary and mileage account can
not vary much. 1t is reasonable to
assume that the 1895 figures are a
fair average. Deducting $50 from
$50. 292.4I it appears that in 1880 49,
965.l was expended over which the
members had control. The deduc-
ton OF the same amount from
$72,029. 10 shows that in 1897 the
amount was $50, 701.S0
The 1895 legislature (Republican).
which was in session 60 days, cost
$S52.75 per day. while the 1897 legis-
lature (POpulist), which continued
for ia days, cost $557.S4 per day,
showing an actual saving of $27491
for each and every day of the session.
In the matter OF daily expense, the
Populist cost was few cents less
than 81 where the Republicans spent
So.

Decision i'm McCord Case.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The decision of the s.l btu tor in the McCord case has been rendered, but its purport is not yet known to the state department. The arbitrator was Sir Henry Strong, chief justice of Canada. He telegraphed the state department that he had rendered his decision Saturday and would sup ply detailed information by mail. Me Cord was an American civil engineer living in Peru whose person and prop erty were seized during revolutionary movement in that country Various secretaries of state have made efforts to secure compensation for McCord
 but it remained for Secretary Olney to secure an agreement on the part of Pe- ru to submit the case for arbitration. McCord's claim originally was for S2O0,- 900. Secretary Olney offered to accept S5O, ,000 as settlement in full, but since that offer was made other expenses have accured, so it may be that the final award will be for larger amount.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
TRICKS IN IMMIGRATION.
Diversion of Immigration from the
 States to Canadian Ports.

Washington, Oct. 17,-Commissioner Powderly of the immigration bureau has received voluminous report from Robert Watchorn, an immigration in- spector at New York, who some months ago was instructed by MT. Powderly to go to Europe and investigate the causes which have resulted in diverting the flow of immigration from the United States to Canadian ports and also the facts as to the practice of charitable institutions in assisting paupers and criminals and other undesirable classes to emigrate to the United tSates. Mr. Wachorn finds that the strict enforce ment of our immigration laws, partic- ularly at New York, has resulted in compelling interruptions emigration agents abroad to seek to evade them by sending the most undesirable class es to Canada, at the same time assur- ing them that they would find little or no difficulty in passing the border into the United States. In very many in stances, MT. Watchorn thinks, this scheme has been successfully carried out. He finds upon investigation that much more stringent immigration laws than formerly are being enacted by all the immediate countries, including Aus tralia, so that practically this is the only country left open. Nearly all of the old countries of Europe are also more strictly enforcing their immigra- tion laws and at the same time they of fer little objection to the departure of the indigent and criminal classes MT. Wachorn finds that a very large num- Der of emigrants receive help from many charitable societies and institu- tions in nearly all of the European cap itals.
