PASSING OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

. HE nearer comes the opening day of the Trans
 Mississippi Exposition the more evident Is the
 fact that in not having provided for an exhibit there California has made mistake. Perhaps 1t IS even now not too late, Much could be done between this tune and the ISt oi June, when the doors are to open, The exposition al Omaha Is to be more ex- tensise than there has been held in this country. "lth the single exception oi the Columbian affair The buildings now approaching completion are Iarye and aissio and house products oi science art and industry from all the world It IS worth re- mark that the affair xas originated at Trans MisSISsIpp Congress at which Californian pre- sided, and that there present a strong and en- thusiastic Californian delegation.

THE JURY-BOX SCANDAL

F. ROM the present outlook Ii appears irprob-
 able that We shall discover the parties who
 were responsible for putting the three bosus snps Into the Jury-box iu Judge Hunts court The expert who examined the penmanship of the sins and compared It with that of the various deputies who copy the names furnished by the Judges for iuryreu has SatiSned himself that none of them wrote the fraudulent sips For the present. therefore the in Sesugafon IS blocked. and perhaps nothing but for tunafe accident hardly to be expected will ever af ford evidence to the criminal.
 In thus situation Judge Hunt proposes new svs- fem oi making up the lists and the establishment of check against repetition of the offense The plan IS a simple one As stated by him to 2 represeot. tive of The Call, consists rule recurring that all names for Iury1nen be copied by not more than two deputies. and that each slip shall be signed by the deputy who copied IL h that way. as the Judse says anything goes wrong ii will be easy to trace the cause of 1t There will be personal respous; oity on the part of the deputies signing the sins and such responsibility nearly always results in u,ak ing careless people careful and seheu,ins oeoo,. honest
 We directed attention few days ago to plan pro posed by Mir Shannahan for accomplishing the same purpose as that aimed at by Judge Hunt.

Weary of Fusion.

Emporia, Kan, Aug. ED. Harvey
Firth, one of the leading lawyers Of
Emporia, and for years an active
democrat, has joined the republican
party. A populist paper criticised
him and this is part of Mr. Frith's an
swer:
II have wearied of party which.
nationally, has not sufficient cohesion
to carry through any policy, and
which, in Kansas, has sunk to such an
utter depth of imbecility that, after
imploring in vain another party to at
least leave it one poor little eve lamb
in the shape of two places on the state
ticket asserts with a complacent
grin that it has got ahead of the
populists in obliPing them to indorso
our ticket because it had fastened to
nominate the whole populist state
ticket 80 minutes before the populists
themselves had an opportunity to do
so. AS to populism, it is an aff1iction
which, like chicken-pox and other
childish but not dangerous diseases, il
an annoyance while it lasts. bat it will
hnally run its course and leave the
patient es well as ever"

THERE ARE OTHERS.
Nv, etemens Discovers That the Populists
Don't Believe Their Own
Platform.

@. u Clemens for years one of tho
leading populists in Kansas, has dis
covered that his party only makes
platforms to get into Office, and not to
stand upon in campaign or to fulfill
when elected. Before the populist
county convention in Topeka Mr..
Clemens made a speech in which he
expressed his disgust as follows:
I'm my ignorance of politics la
bored hard to secure the adoption in
the populist state convention of Ger.
tain declarations or principles in di.
rect line of what we have fought foA
state ownership of public utilities
II thought in my ignorance, as 10
seems now, that when populist con-
vention put these things in its plat
form they were to be discussed in our
campaign. did not know they were
there for any other purpose. But .
state committee, created by the same
convention, deriving authority from
no other source, steps in and tells our
orators that they must not talk of such
things in the campaign. They miglI%
offend our democratic allies.
"Such cowardice," Clemens reared,
81 detest! 1t is contemplated Afraid
of the democratsl Afraid to stand by
principles enunciated by convention
of representative populists.
"Politics, then, is policy, not princi.
pie. did not know that when our
convention was held. thought the
populist party was built upon princi.
pie. I confess 1 must have been
wrong"

composed Of men OF greatest scholastio
attainment-men learned In the law
men whose honor and integrity nave
seldom been called into question.
What intelligent populist does nos
blush for shame as ho reads the start
ling announcement that John W.
Leedy, populist governor OF Kansas
declares to oil the world that the
courts of this country are rotton.
Surely the people of Kansas will NOT
again elect as it's chief magistrate
man who, judged by his own words, has
lost all confidence in his fellow-man-
whose highest ideal Of court is that
of partisan Judge. From the rule OF
such creature may God in mercy de-
liver u.s."
When asked his opinion OF the oper-
ations of Leedy's agent in collecting
"hush money" from Kansas City
joints, Senator Sheldon said: "All
know about Gov. Leedy's attitude on the
metropolitan police law gained from
a conversation with him. He kept
the legislature from repeating that
law by asking us to let 1t alone As
his agents appear to have been profit
ing largely by it, Leedy probably
realized that the law could be used
for either hts political or commercial
profit
I'm fact" says Senator Sheldon, II
don't know of single bill which Gov.
Leedy attempted to get PASSED. by the
last legislature. All the Legislature
did it accomplished without his adj
vice, aid or cooperation"

HOW THEY LOVE THEM.
Gov. Leedy's Administration Weeps Over
the Coal Miners Condi-
tim

Some time ago the Arkansas City
Traveller published an interview with
]. Lea Simpson, OF Leavenworth
county, at that time member of the
populist state committee and an officer
at the state penitentiary. In the in
terview Mr.. Simpson predicted that
Leedy could not be elected because of
the failure of his administration and
in answer to the question from the
Traveller reporter as to how he har.
monized his party's action in regard to
penitentiary coal with the Abilene
platform, Mr.. Simpson, said: II cans
harmonize the two inconsistencies,
and l don't try to. certainly can
not approve of the unprecedented out
put of coal at the penitentiary-an
output made possible by reason of
having coal stored in the mine, that
was mined months before"
"Mr. Simpson," asked the reporter,
"do you mean to say that the peniten-
tiary officials, Warden Lands and
Deputy Gable, representatives of Gov.
Leedy, mined coal with convicts.
stored it away in the mines with the
view of having it handy to throw
upon the market in the event of
strike by free labor"
"My word is not usually questioned.
l know whereof I speak. was the
mine officer at the penitentiary about
year ago in charge of gang of con-
victs that started the storing of lump
coal in the mine, and it was thrown
upon the open market during tho
strike"
Do you know how much coal was In
store when the officers began to rush
it to market?
II do not, but we were storing coal
for weeks before l left the prison
there was large quantity of it'and 10
was the very best lump coal"

A Splendid Attraction.

Wichita theatre goers are to be es-
pecially favored early this season in
the high-class amusement line for one
of the first attractions presented will
be that great hit of the past season, in
musical comedies "The Gay Matinee
Girl" which is admitted to be the
brightest and funniest in its line.
Manager Edwin p. Hilton, who is well
known to our people as one who al
ways handles fine attractions, informs
us that this season he has an eXtraor-
binary good company, headed by the
famous comedians, Monroe & Hart,
and Americas best Sombrette, Matte
Vickers. These three stars, being sup
ported by some twenty well known
actors and actresses, present an even
ing of pure fun, bright specialties,
catchy singing, dressed with magnif-
cent taste and entirely new and spe-
cial scenery.
The hay-makers in Sumner county
complain of bee a little smaller than
the humble bee which infests fields
and stings with great emphasis. The
insect is strange to the country.
The sixth annual fair of Allen coun.

THE SPANISH PRISONERS.
Gen. Shafter Says About 1000 Are to
Be Shipped Home.

WASHINGTON. Aug. "a dispatch re-
ceived by Adjutant General Corbin tonight
from General Shafter indicates that with
the fall of Santiago 23,726 Spaniards surren-
dered. OF this number few less than 1900
were guerrillas and volunteers. making the
total number to be returned to Spain about
q 900. Following is the text of the dispatch:
II recommend that all the Mauser rifles
and the ammunition for the same be shipped
to some arsenal in the North with little
delay as possible to prevent rust. There
are several millions of this ammunition and
probably 10000 or 12,000 stands of these arms.
OF course, large number of those turned
in were Remingtons and other inferior
weapons. The surrender at Berlacio shows
total Of % 726 surrendered, a little less
teers leaving about the original estimate,
q, 900, to be shipped. So far no sickness
among incoming regiments
In another dispatch General Shafter re-
ports that he now has sufficient transports
at Santiago to bring the remainder of the
American troops to the United States. The
Spanish prisoners are being embarked to re-
turn to Spain, and Shafter expresses the
belief that all will be en- route to their home
country by the latter part of the week. The
dispatch follows:
Tie Berlin has just arrived with the
Ninth United States Volunteer Infantry on
board. There are now plenty of transports
here and in sight to take all the balance of
the troops and a large number OF GONZALES
cents. The Spanish prisoners wiH ell be
loaded by Saturday. Many are going on
board to-day. l think they will leave either
the afternoon of the oath or the morning
of the 25th.''
