WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.- Senator
Vest made spirited attack on The
evils of the present pension system,
saying that the governments had fall
len into ga most ineuitous expendi-
ture by its ill-advised legislation and
through political influences" and was
now acting as sort of political acci-
dent insurance company. He declar-
ed that he did not wish to deprive a
single honest applicant of his pension,
but he did wish the abuses STOP ped.
He said although Illinois had furn-
ished $4,000 more soldiers for the
civil war than Indiana did that the
pension payment in Indiana exceeded
those in illinois by $1,50o,0O0, and
charged that the reason was that In
diana is pivotal state politically
and that it was a notorious fact that
pensions had been granted to almost
every applicant in districts that were
close.

WASHINGTON General Calixto
Gracia, the distinguished Cuban
warrior and leader, and the head OF
the commission elected by the Cuban
assembly to visit this country, died
Dec. IL. in the morning shortly after
10 o'clock at the II otel Releigh, where
the commission has its headquarters.
The sudden change from the warm
climate Of Cuba, with the hardships
he WAS there endured, to the wiutry
weather OF New York and Washing.
ton. IS responsible for the pneumonia
which resnlted in his demise. He
contracted slight cold in New York
which did not assume an alar ming
stage until the early part of last week
On Tuesday night, General Gracia
IN company with the other members
Of the commission, attended q dinner
given in honor of General Miles,
and it was resnlt of the exposure
that night whica eliminated in his
death.
During the twelve hours or more
preceding dissolution, General Gracia
was unconscious most of the time.
At intervals he recgoaiz,1 ons or
more of those about him.
General Gracia was the original
conspirator IN the uprising of the
Cubans against Sp lin in 1868. and,
in that war, under Gomez, he tain.
ed the rank of brigadier genera.
1n October, 1868, he captured the
ownscf Jaiquani and Bsire and
recruited many hundreds OF patriots.
He had command of the eastern
departments during the revolution
of 1873, and won many notable
victories, including those at Melones
and Aures. While the revolution
was in critical state in the other
provinces and its outcome was uncer-
tain, he maintained it with vigor in
the territory under his command.
In 1875, while recopnoitering with
his escort, he was surrounded by
2O00 Span isrds. Preferripg death
to capt ure and subsequent execution
at the. hands of bis enemy, he at
tempted suicide by placing his re-
volver under his chin and firing.
The bullet came out between his
ey ebrows. For months he lsy
between life and death, but was
saved finally by Spanish surgeons
who possibly had owed their own
lives to his marcy. The spaniards
believeing he was about to die, gave
him pardon. The hole which the
bullet made when it entered the chi n
and came out between the eyebrows
was always visible and shows plainly
in the calm ness of death. His
remains will probably be placed
temporarily IN a receiving vault
tndiDg final interment in Cuba.

clay Center dispatch.
Some of the Democratic leaders in
this State are doing a great deal of
foolish talking since the election
upon the subject of uniting all
reform parties under one name.
There appears TO be general desire
among those who are oppo ,ed to the
Republican party unite If it can be
done successfully and satisfactorily
but just how this can be done is a
problem that has not yet been sett led
When Democrats assert that the
Peoples party is dead and that if
has outllved its usefulness they not
only say that which is untrue, but
they are helping to make the very
end which they strive for that much
more difficult to accomplish. 1t has
the appearance of great big bluff
and they ought to know that it will
not work The Peoples party IS not
dead and it is not going to die simply
because somebody wants it to do so
Republicans have said every year
since It's organization that it WAS
dead, but they have never bee able
to prove it. Trus it was defeated in
the last election, but shat was not
the first time. The Republican and
Democratic parties have both been
defeated many time, but they still
live.
It may be to the interests of both
Democrats and Populists to again
cooperate in the next Presidential
campaign. 1t is to be hope1 that
they will unite in common efforts
for common good. Just how this is
to be done is subj ct for discnss ion
but the path will not be made any
smoother for one narty to say the
other Is dead when it is not true.
Instead of drawing the Populists
to the Democratic party snch talk is
driving them away.

The Board of Charities is engaged
in the semi-annual letting of con-
tracts. The contractors are feeling
better because the list of stuff desired
is very much larger than that used
in June, when it was held down 20
the lowest figure in the history of the
beard in order that the enormous
amount of stuff bought by the pre-
ceding board might be worked off
After all possible effort had been
made along this line the stock OF stuff
on hand, which was bought by Re-
publicans two years ago, is still very
large. There are 1000 yards of
bleached linen and a barrel of whisky
left ut the Osawatomie asylum among
other stuff which is left over from
Republican purchases. Not a yard
of table linen has been bought at the
Topeka asylum because plenty was
left over by the old board. At this
institution there are still two barrels
Of whisky, barrel and half of wine
and a half barrel of gin which Mort
Albaugh and his associates bought.
In addition there are blacking brush
es enough to last five years. The
supply Of ladies' shoes left at the
Topeka asylum was such that but
fifty pairs have been bought in two
years. Notwithstanding that there
are no children admitted at the asyl-
um there were five dozen suits of
children's underwear on hand. A
contractor says that last June's let
tings were SO per cent less than the
average for years and the board says
that this was because there was such
an enormous amount Of Republican
purchases on hand. Over 500 pairs
Of shoes were found at Osawatomie
which were not needed and which the

School Mort's crowd left seventy
dozen combs, which is an ample sup.
ply for years to come. And yet Stan

says that Mort Albaugh can have

been used for the same purpose at

grieving over his resignation. Iudeed,
it Is altogether probable that PIatt
has done his part to push along the
petty annoyances which have result
ed in convincing Mr.. Bliss that his
private business needs his attention.
While it is not likely that the resig-
nation of Mr.. Bliss was brought
about by an open rupture, it is p OBJ
able the elimination of disss tisfaction
because of thousand and one little
things, no one of which is important
enough to be assigned as a reason for
resignation. It has been an open
secret in Washington that Mr.. Bliss
didn't like his job.

Representative Bailey, Of Texas
has made statement concerning his
attitude towards Gen. Wheeler and
three other members of the House
who hold commissions in the volun-
teer army. He quotes section 6 Of
Article l, of the Constitution. "That
no person holding any Office under
the U. S. shall be member of either
House during his continuance in
Office" and cites two cases in which
the House decided members to have
forfeited seats, one by accepting a
majors commission in the District of
Columbia Militia, and the other. by
becoming Colonel of a volunteer regi-
ment, in the Mexican war. Mr..
Bailey thus defines his own position
81 am one of those who believe that
it is the highest duty Of every man
to obey the law and to respect the
Constitution and / have little pa
tience with the weak suggestion that
a member of Congress shall shrink
from his sworn duty because public
sentiment would allow q brave and
distinguished man to hold two high
offices, even though it be against the
Constitution of-our country" An
other phase of the same question is
now being discussed in the Senate

tial Commissioners.

The vote of the coIored soldiers at
Santiago has been received by Secre-
tary Bush. Leedy got 81 to Stanley's
l89. The average vote on other State
officers was about 40 to 24O. About
half Of the 283, who voted, expressed
themselves on local officers. There
were seven straight Republican votes
in Saline county, which were sufficient
to wipe tbs slender majority which
Miss Mabel Marlin, the Populist nom-
inee for Superintendent, had. Repub-
licans were confident that it would aI.
so defeat the Populist nominees for
District Clerk in Bourbon and Labe:to
counties and for Probate Judge in
Franklin, but it didn't. In the first
two cases the Popuiists received a. in-
crease while in the last the adverse
vote was not sufficient to affect the
result.

PopuIists Will Not Disband

Wellington Voice.
The Peoples party will not disband.
1t will become a more formidable fac.
tor in the affairs of 1900 tfan it was in
1896. Tully Scott Dem.) of Oberltr,
spoke the truth when he said there
was a ''sincere doubt in the mind of
the average PopuIis. as to WHIT III r the
Democratic party would be able to
maintain in 1900 the stand it took in
1896, and until that was fully deter
mined be would be 10th to let 20 his
ho'd on the Populist organization. "
This is true, and it furnishes the reason
why Populists should be more cohesive
now than ever before. BY mainta n
ing its strong individuality the Popu-
list party will serve as balance wheel
in holding the Democratic party to the
high standard which it assumed in its
last national convention. Take away
this balance wheel and the temptation
to compromise with the E ,stern wing
of the party would be very stI long.
The Western Democrats, who are in
full and active sympathy with the
Pepulis. party, will find themselves
benefited in the end by the present firm
stand of the Populists.
Our duty as Populists is plain. We
should sit right down on the coat tail
of our cousins, the Democrats, and
hold them steady to the work. Should
compromise in any form come, then
the Populist party will grow more rap
idly than ever before.

Chairman Riddle Speaks OF the
SPECIAL Session.

=
The special session will accomplish
more for the people Of Kansas than
any session in the states history. At
first was doubtful about the wisdom
of the call, but since have personally
talked with many Of the members and
senators, who are anxious, as the rep-
resentatives of the people. to fulfil the
Populist psri,1 pledges, 1 am frank to
admit that Governor Leedy acted wise
ly and well.
81 believe that the pledge of every
senator and member will be fulfilled to
the letter. No fairer, more intelligent,
or more honorable body of men ever
assembled in the legislative halls in
this capitol than those who mot here
Wednesday. They will come together
with = common object In view, and a
common duty to / erforn. When the
combined judgement of these men
shall have formulated into law, it is
my deliberate judgement that the great
masses of our people will thank Gov
ernor Leedy and the present Legislature g
for this splendid work in the closing
hours of our administration. That q
railroad law will be passed which will
reduce freight charges to the farmer
and shipper, 1 do not doubt, and that
the Determination which has been
practicsd against localities in this state
will be at an end, I have every reason
to believe. In short, the legislature
will speedily and inteliigently give the
people the relief they have prayed for
and when the campaign of 1900 is over
the verdict will be o'e of spprova
and endorsement. Every man who
fought under the banner Of William J
Bryan in 1896, and who stood for hu-
manity and justice in the battle just
ended, will approve of Governor
Leedy's course, and every citizen, re-
gardless of party, will endorse legis-
lature that places upon the statute
books law which Is fair and reason
able to both the people and the rail-
roads, and that is what the legislature
will do"

An examination of the State printer
accounts In the Secretary of States
office is sufficient to convince anyone
of the wisdom of Senator Cooks meas
ure to provide for the enrolling Of Leg
lslatiye bills with a printing press in-
stead of by hand. Under the old sys-
tenn thirty or more ladies were employ
ed By each house at s. per day to do
this work. Their pay began with the
session and ended at the adjournment.
For the first thirty days there was
nothing whatever to do but learn tae
vilIafnous system of pehmanship re-
quired. Thsn toward the end of the
session when their real work began it
was impossible for them to keep up
with it, Now all this useless addition
to the pay roll is dispensed with. The
bills 60 directly to the State pr inter,
where they are set up in imitation of
tyl ewriter type In clear readable form.
1t is impossible to tamper with an en- :
rolled bill, and then people can read it
and tell what it is abou Senator
Cook had to overcome the opposition
of friends and members who were op-
posed to the measure because it would
displace favorit's who had comfort
able jobs but he succeeded and thereby
saved to the State enough at each ses-
sion to pay his salary and that of his
successors for a quarter century I'D

Representative DeArmond, of Mo-,

Reed into making speech this week
The incident was started by Repre-
sentative Grow, of Pa. a Republican,
making speech attacking the gag
rules of the House. Mr.. DeAmond
then took the floor and charged that
Reed had compelled the committee
on rules to refrain from reporting a
new set of rules, in order that the
rules of the last House, supposed to
have been adopted temporarily at last
years extra session, might continue
in force. Mr.. Reed tried to wriggle
out by being funny. He made the
House laugh-any clown can do that
but he didn't convince any ybody.

The Lodge immigration bill is
thought to have received its death
blow, this week, when the House, by
a majority vote declined to take il
from the Speakers table, where it has
been since it passed the Senate,
early in the last session. This makes
twice that the House has refused t.,
take the bill up, and it is regarded AZ
very doubtful whether its friends will
make another attempt.
