Another Reform" Item.

A receipted voucher in the state
auditors Office is causing a great deal
OF trouble in the fusion ranks. 1t
was drawn on Governor Leedy's con-
tingent fund for one thousand dollars
in favor Of David Overmyer and was
paid by the state treasurer.
The voucher states that 1t is in pay
ment for "services rendered" in de-
Tending Insurance Commissioner Nc
Nall against the life insurance COM
panies, but as during the progress OF
that case Mr.. Overmyer was so quiet
that the newspapers never even knew
that be was an attorney in it, and as
all the work WAS done by Judge David
Martin, who received 5000 for his
compensation, it is generally believed
that the ''services rendered" by Mr.
Overmyer were at the Democratic
state convention, and not at the bar
of the court, and that the governors
contingent fund is now paying for the
fusion deal.
There had been an attempt to con-
ceal the voucher but 1t was produced
by the auditor on demand, and can
not be denied. Democrats here, even
those supporting fusion, say that MIR.
Overmyer is in very embarrassing
position.
1t is also evident il the governors
contingent fund is to be used to pay
lawyers to assist the attorney general
that it would be better for the state
to elect lawyer to that place who
would not need such expensive as
sistance, and many Democrats and
Populsts say they will vote for A. A.
GODDARD, who will not need legal adj
vice in every case.
Either Overmyer did not earn his
money by law services or the attorney
general does not deserve credit for
carrying on the cases. If the State is
to hire assistants to do the work OF
its officers why not stop paying the
oilicersp As the record Of this great
"reform" administration becomes
clearer the people OF Kansas are rec
ognizing more fully what a mistake
they made in electing 1t.

six months those Of any six months
since the county was organized. A
careful record has been kept, and it is
found that 124 farms have been sold,
containing 1918 acres, and the price
paid for the same was $50, 1874. The
amount Of city property sold during
the halt year was $24S, 265, making
for the county in the six months sales
amounting to more than half a mil
lion dollars. The number Of parties

The fiction number Of Scribner's
Magazine has been an institution for
decade. In 1t have appeared many
notable short stories that have made
their authors famous. 1t has also
been the occasion for several novel
and successful experiments in color
printing. This year the colored cover
is one Of the four prize designs by
Albert Herter, and it is brilliant
example Of decorative printing. The
war has necessarily crowded out some
OF the illustrated short stories. Rich
ard Harding Davis continues his
brilliant Chapters Of the War with an
amusing description Of the life at
Tampa just before the sailing Of Gen.
Skaters expedition. He aptly calls
it 1.-THE Rocking Chair Period Of the

Democrats Are Indignant.

The Washington Palladium, edited
by j. G. Lowe and one Of the Fifth
districts ablest Democratic journals,
speaks strongly upon the political
situation thus: 1.-The dissatisfaction
created among the Democrats by the
unwarranted action OF the Atchison
convention is widespread and deep
seated. Time has not had the effect
Of stilling the opposition, but on the
contrary has increased it. More than
a month has passed since the conven-
ton surrendered to the Populists,
and during this time the opposition
has grown. Many consider that not
only the honor but the future Of the
party as well is involved in the issue,
and they will not become the willing
tools Of the Leedy administration to
stlfle the Democratic party, nor will
they be forced and coerced by the
un.Democratic action OF the conven-
ton. Men who are Democrats from
principle, who ask no patronage from
the Lcedy government, who hold no
position under it, stand ready to re-
buke the men who, that they may Oh.
tain place and power, have attempted
the assassination Of the party. Once
strong and powerful, once honored
and respected, the Democratic party
be the action Of the state convention
has been reduced to a state Of de.
tendency by party assassins and
place hunters. Too poor to nominate
a ticket and too dishonest and coward.
ly to refuse the endorsement Of the
Populist ticket, the managers Of the
convention have brought dishonor to
the party and placed on their actions
the indelible stamp Of insincerity.
The Democrats will not obey this de-
cree, because it was issued without
authority and is void. The conven-
ton had no power to bind the individ-
ual to anything other than Demo-
cratic policies and men. The people
understand this and by their action
in November will condemn the pro.
ceedings Of the convention. Time
will not have the pacifying effect the
managers at Atchison thought it
would. The Democrats are Justly
indignant and will not accept Of the
surrender"

Women Teachers in Kansas.

The labor bureau OF the State has
been gathering statistics about the
work of women in Kansas. 1t says
that according to its figures female
school teachers seem to be better sit
uated than any other class Of female
labor. They only work six hours a
day and draw an average Of $S4,7l a
month, ranging from $40 to $45.
Male teachers draw an average Of
$3.50. An eight-hour law would
not affect them, but they would like
to have it adopted for the rest Of hu-
manity. They have no union but
several suggest that it would be a
good thing to unite for the purpose
of securing their rights and janitOrs
to clean up the school houses. There
have been increased opportunities for
employment reported in nearly every
instance. Some say it is on account
Of "more children" others "better
crops and good prices" Others "on
account Of the rigid examination,
which reduces the number Of teachers
but improves the quality" The
teachers want a law frightening the
duration Of certificates, and want two
days for the state examination. One
suggests restriction Of the state
normal in regard to life certificates.
All believe that they should be as
well paid as male teachers are.

him for not declaring war long before
