MINES AsrRAYIN THE GULF.
WOrkmen Demoralized by the Loss of the
Meigs Refuse to Continue the Search.


Meigs Refuse to Continue the Search.
New ORLEANs,-Nineteen mines are
floating about in the lower Missis-
sippi. The destruction of the United
States steamer John r. Meigs, with a
loss of six lives. by torpedo, near
Fort st. Philip, has alarmed the peo-
pie living along the lower Mississippi
below New Orleans, and the owners
of vessels engaged in the New Or
leans trade especially.
Major Quinn, who has charge of
this lighthouse district, has forwarded
a recommendation to Washington
that the work of taking up the torpe-
does guarding the approach of the
harbor of New Orleans be permanent
ly abandoned, because of the great
danger involved, and that the torpe-
does still floating or grounded some
where in the lower Mississippi be left
to take care of themselves. The ex-
plosion 80 demoralized the men en-
gagged in removing the torpedoes
that not one of them can be induced
to undertake the work again.
While Major Quinn thinks that the
abandonment of the search for mines
will not prove menace to shipping.
because the buoys mark all the space
through which pilots may steer their
vessels in safety, it is contended that
the lower Mississippi will be closed to
all except vessels sailing in the very
center OF sluices. Several mines have
broken their cables and sailed down
stream others will certainly do so,
and drift into deeper water. Some
may even go to sea. How long they
will continue to be dangerous it is i'm
possible to say. The torpedo which
blew up the Meigs had been four
months under water.
''If these nineteen missing torpe
does are allowed to drift off like dere-
licts," said captain, they will be a
great deal more dangerous than float
ing derelicts of the ocean, which the
United States, England and other
naval powers are engaged in de-
stroying."

FOUR CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

In the election of 1890, the Repub-
licans carried the First and Second
congressional districts, and the
Farmers Alliance the Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh.
In 1892, the Republicans carried
the First, Second and Fourth, and
the Populists the remaining four dis
tricts and the congressman-at- large.
Afterwards Funston, the successful
Republican candidate in the Second
district, was unseated on a contest by
Moore. his fusion opponent.
In 1894, the Republicans carried
all the district but the Sixth.
In 1896, the tables were turned by
fusion and the Populist carried all
but the First and Fourth.
This year there is fusion in all but
the Sith, where the Democrats have

PUT 1T IN REPUBLICAN, COMPANY.
Since the election of 1896 the Pop
ulist legislature has taken Shawnee
county out of the Fourth district and
punched it in with the big Republican
counties of the First, transferring
Pottawatomie In exchange.
As now constituted, the First dis
trict In 1895 cast 27,O23 Republican
and %, 424 fusion votes, while the
new Fourth cast 21,735 Republican
and 22,978 fusion votes. By the
change, therefore, the First districts
Republican majority is increased to
1899 and the Fourth becomes fusion

majority of 1.243. F. V.

TOPEKA was treated to evidence of
the incompetent management of the
war department last week-Two
soldiers belonging to the Twenty
second Kansas arrived in the city
without money and for short time
without food. The latter was secured
through the kindness of friends.
They were. Oliver Broussean and
George Pierce, privates in Company
B, Twenty second Kansas volunteers.
Both had been given furlough for
thirty days. The time expired and
as per instructions both reported to
the nearest military post Pierce
was at Canton, Ohio and reported at
Columbus where he was given trans
portation to Topeka. He protested
that his regiment was not here but
was told that it was his duty to obey
orders and not ask questions. He
got to Topeka without money and
without provisions being made for
his care. Remembering the kind
treatment given all of the boys by
the governor he reported at his office.
Chairman Taylor Riddle happened to
be there and he gave him money for
food at once, Brousseau arrived Fri
day and showed up dusty and hungry
He reported at Washington when his
furlough expired and was also sent to
Topeka. The regiment was at Mid
dletown, Pennsylvania scarcely a
hundred miles from Washington but
he was sent to Kansas. Transporta-
ton was provided for them or they
would have been comdelled to walk
to Leavenworth where their regiment
arrived four days later. This is one
of the evidences of carelessness
about which papers have Justly com
planned. All of the papers think
that there is no earthly excuse for
sending soldiers a thousand miles
away from their regiments and leay-
ing them so that they must accept
charity to keep from going hungry.

POLITICAL POINTERS

(Gleaned from an address by Hon. W. w.
Price, candidate for congress in the 1st
congressional district.)
The Republican candidate for gov
ernor. Stanley, says Republicans
should be covered with glory for the
Spanish war. Good citizens say that
the United States defeated Spain and
that no particular party had anything
to do with it. Surely it requires gall
for Republicans to claim the honor
since Cuban resolutions passed by
the senate were twice pigeon -holed
by the Republican house committee,
and all remember distinctly that Nc
Kinley was forced by public senti.
ment to act In the interests of Cuban
freedom.
The Republican investigating COM
mittee. Proctor. Foraker and Thurs.
ton reported that 400, 900 Cubans had
starved to death while the United
States maintained blockade and cut
off all of their supplies.
It was the uprising of the masses
that forced Mckinley and congress to
declare war.
That Populists and Democrats ap-
proved Of the war Is shown by the
fact that they voted to place $50, 600,
coo In tie hands OF Mckinley to pay
expenses. Every Populist and every
Democrat voted to do it. Was there
partisianship in this?

JERRY SIMPSON is being persistently
attacted for his vote on war measures
by the Republican papers of his dis
drict. Nearly every one of these
papers willfullY misrepresent the re-
cord and several openly charged that
he voted against every war measure
which was prepared. Some of them
had sense enough to keep still though
as the record shows that the house
resolution was supported at every
stage of the discussion by Simpson
in the house and by Senator Baker in
the Senate. If Simpsons votes were
not the votes of patriot neither
were Bakers. In this connection
the public will be interested knowing
that the record of all officers, not Re-
publicans, is being persistently mis-
represented by these Republican pap
ers and that every flaw in the record
of Republicans is being carefully
covered up by Justification and evas-
) ion. There is not feature of the
Populist portion of the record whith
cannot be pointed to with pride and
campaign falsehoods cannot keep the
feet from the people.

q. A. BAILEY, Topeka insur-
ance man who is general agent for
the Phoenix Insurance Company,
has discovered that he must not play
fully make unnecessary affidavits nor
disregard the instructions Of the in
surance department. Some time ago
he signed and swore to an affidavit
that he was still using the Clarkson
rate sheet. AS soon as the matter
was brought to the attention of Sup
erintsndent McNall he promptly is
sued an order revoking Mr.. Bailey's
license. He also wrote the gener al
officers of the company notifying
them that Mr.. Bailey was violating
the agreement which they ma de not
to use the Clarkson rate sheet and
saying to them that if such action
was taken by Mr.. Bailey with their
knowledge and consent that he
would revoke the license of the COM
paDy 10 do business in Kansas. Re.
publican papers have charged that
the old Ciarkson rate was being
used continually in Kansas and that
Mc4lall was taking no steps to pre-
vent it. His action when possessed
Of evidence that the rate was being
used indicates that Mr.. McNall still
enjoys good health and has his eye
on those who are disposed to lay un-
necessary burdens on those who
carry insurance.
