Wichita StOckyards Starts a

SAYS ITHAS RENIGGED

Wichita, Feb. Yesterday noon,
Superintendent w. r. Du Laney of the
stockyards company was served with a
formal notice that beginning today no
more stock would be shipped in, or fin
ished products shipped out over the
Frisco.
This ukase came from the joint
agency of the four leading lines of rail-
way handling packing house and stock
yards products.
The Dold Packing company, the I'm
ion stOckyards and the Missouri Pacific,
Atchfson, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific and the
Midland railroads maintain q joint
agency at the yards for the convenience
and expediting of business of all parties
to the contract.
Recently the Frisco has been doing a
large amount of this business, especial
ly in abattoir's products of the Dold
plant, and the charge is they have fail
ed to pay their pro rata of the ex-
penses.
When the yards and the packers first
started ten years ago, the Frisco was a
party to the contract. Later the Santa
Fe absorbed the Frisco and the latter
used the tracks of the former. When
the Frisco broke away from the Santa
Fe at the time of the receivership ap
pointment, the Santa Fe charged the
Frisco the usual tracking and switch
ing rates. This spring the Frisco re-
leased their right of way to the Mid
land, and since then have no entrance
to the yards of their own.

HANCOCK AN EMBEZZLER
Bad Record Shown While Treas
urer of Harvard.

Boston, Mass, Feb. IA startling his
tOrical discovery has just been made here,
showing that John Hancock, the famous
patriot and merchant prince, was not only
an embezzler but q bitter enemy of
George Washington. His letter book, just
discovered, shows the following facts:
A typical instance of his yearning for
chief of the Continental army. It is
probable that he never fOrgaVe George
Washington for being appointed to this
post. and thus carrying off the military
glory which Hancock really believed to be
within his own reach.
The we'll known and scrupulOus exacti-
tude which Washington exhibited in fin
ancial matters was in marked contrast to
the methods of Hancock. The latter
career treasurer of Harvard college is
the instance of these methods which is
which it was hoped that his letter book
would cast some cOndOning light, if this.
indeed, be possible, in the face of the
many records and letters.
In 1713 the college corporation elected
Hancock as treasurer. He Immediately
qualified as treasurer, and as such receiv-
rendered no account When he continued
in default a meeting between him and the
1110. but - that day, instead of Han
cock, came a letter from him full Of ex-
cuses.
No accounts of payments. nevertheless
though often requested, and, mOreOver.
Hancock caused all the papers and securi-
ties to be taken across country from Bos-
ton to Philadelphia, where they were at a
great hazard from the enemy. At last
the college, in great and warranted fear
of losing not only the income but the
principle of the funds, sent a messenger
for the securities, because Hancock.
though pressed in the most delicate and
urgent manner, refused to resign. and he
was removed from his office as treasurer
in l777.

he tucked a "Gossiping Guide to Har-

He was very careful to be quite po-

would say something that was i'm
proper. He stirred his cup of coffee
daintily, and slipped it with an apparent
relish.

He finished his cup of coffee and
beckOned a waiter towards him. will

The waiter looked at him in wonder,
took the cup and, going over to the
coffee urn, he turned the cup upside
down and filed the smaller circular de

back to the man.

WHY REVIVE THE IssUEP

When the polls closed in November,
1896 after a campaign fought from be-
ginning to end on the money question
and the verdict of the people had been
registered against any change in exist
ing conditions, it was accepted by the
masses of all political faiths and there
was reason to expect that the discus
sion would be dropped long enough at
least to permit that return of prosperi-
ty which it was promised would follow
the passage of a Republican tariff
measure.
The people had been told by the cam
paign orators on the winning side that
much evil had been caused to the ma
teriaI welfare of the country by the ag-
itation in favor of changing the curren-
cy system of the country. A majority
seemed to be impressed by this argu-
ment and voted for allowing things
financial to remain as they were. Now
the administration though less than a
year old, has plunged the country into
another currency fight which bids fair
to become hotter and hotter until next
November.
President Mckinley began it by
suggesting radical changes in the cur
rency laws. Secretary of the Treasury
Gage followed up his chief by preparing
BAAl QedIAlAS W I'm OGlstAAS anu sim NIL z
radical in it's character. Now all kinds
of abuse is being showered on the ma
jority in the United States senate be-
cause it has seen fit to take up the
gage Of battle thus thrown at its feet.
Did the currency reformers imagine
that they could put through a scheme
of reform without encountering the oppO-
sition of those persons holding views at
variance with those held by themselves?
The gold standard advocates are not
the whole people-it is not even certain
that they are half of them.
In the preparation of the various
schemes of currency reform which have
been submitted to congress by the gold
standard advocates the opposition has
not even been consulted. It is easy for
a body of men all of one mind to agree
on any measure.
When the Indianapolis monetary con-
vention assembled it was composed of
men of one mind on the main point to
be acted upon and differing only as re-
CARDS methods. There was no oppOsi-
ton. The house committee on banking
and currency refused to hear the other
side. If the gold men hoped to suppress
the opposition by such methods they
mistook the temper of the people as has
been made evident by the senate's ac-
ton in passing the Teller resolution.
That the currency question, with all
the uncertainty regarding the future of
business which its discussion entails,
is to be fought all over again during
the approaching campaign does not ad-
init of a doubt. That the president is
responsible for this state of things is
apparent If the silver issue was dead
as has been so often asserted why was
it reSurrected by those who claim the
honor of killing it?
Maintenance of the then existing gold
standard until International bimetal-
1isrn could be established was what the
St. Louis platform declared for. 1t
said nothing about retiring the green
backs or redeeming silver dollars in
gold.
