TWENTIETH WAITS.

The Seventh California's Protest Wins a
Place in the Expedition.
Topeka Journal.
The statement in the State Journal
last night that the Californians,
through their pull and protests,
would probably 60 aboard the Scan
dia in place of the Twentieth Kansas
for the Manila expedition has been
verified. The Kansas City Star con-
tanned the following concerning the
subject:
San Francisco, July 9l.-To the
intense disappointment of the officers
and men of the Twentieth Kansas,
the Seventh California has been as
signed to the transport Scandal to
sail for Manila next week in place OIL
the Twentieth Kansas, designated by
General Merriam. The order came
from Washington direct from Secre.
tary Alger to send the Seventh Call
fornia, and was brought about by TIT
efforts of the California senators ant
representatives.
Colonel Funston said to the cor
respondent Of the Star: Genera
King has stated that the Twentieth
Kansas is the best drilled and mos
efficient regiment outside of the reg
ulars. Efficiency, equipment anC
discipline is ignored and in almos
every instance the selection Of regi
ments so far selected to go to Manil;
has been brought about by senators
and representatives in Washington
The Kansas senators and represen
tatives, if they have attempted any
thing, have accomplished nothing
l do not believe in using political in
luence to secure advantage and vii
see the regiment and myself in hel
before | will importune the power
at Washington to have my regimen
sent where, from point of efficiency
it is entitled to 60. The Iowa an
Tennessee regiments are sufferin
from the same treatment as the Kar
sas regiment. There is no regimen
that has been in camp that has tw
better majors than the Twentiet
Kansas, and the proficiency attaine
. in drill is due to their untiring e
forts. Major Whitman is gradual
of West Point and Major Metcs
: has no superior among the volunte
organizations.

Points about Kansas Troops.

From the Kansas City Times,
Garry the news TO Mort Albaugh.
The twenty-frst Kansas regiment
has jumped ten points for efficiency
and will be sent to the front ahead
of regiments that were at Chicka-
manga before it.
The Kansas soldier boys are send
ing home their pay from the front to
their parents, and in every instance
they sign themselves "your devoted
son." These are the kind Of boys
that Kansas has sent to the army
and they ought to be honored rather
than ridiculed.
The Kansas regiment at Camp AL
ger did not act at all to suit the Re-
publican party Of Kansas when il
took third place in the recent brig
ade inspection for appearance and
proficiency in drill. How highly
pleased the Republican politician:

is good for them when the question
is submitted to them; that they are
fit only to obeylaws made by others;
that government by the people
would be a failure. The same argu-
ment is used by the kings, emperors
and their funkies. Direct legisla-
ton would give the desire Of a ma
iority on each question of impor-
lance that came up. There would
be no minority rule as now. Poll
ticianS could not sell the people out,
take their brides and defy the peo-
pie. Corporations would not bride
lawmakers when the people could
have a final voice in the matter. Let
US take one incident in recent legis-
lation. 1t is a notorious fact that
the sugar trust corrupted the senate
to have its way about the tariff on
sugar-in fact it wrote the law and
congress simply ratified its wishes.
How much do you think the trust
would have paid for votes if the
people could have had wback al
that measure when congress was
through with it2 Not a cent. II
would have known that the people
would have reversed it. 1t would
be the same with all legislation.
Laws the people found no objection
to would be let alone, but vicious
laws would be brought before the
people by petition. Then if the ma
jority upheld them they would stand.
otherwise they would fall. Under
direct legislation public office would
not be private snap as at present
If officials were not tempted they
would give the people the best SER
vice of which they were capable
but so long as their vote is final on
any law there will be corporations
that will bride them.-Appeal to

A short time ago Chester l. Long
had an'interview" circulating through
the Republican papers Of the Seventh
district. In it he said that Jerry
Simpson was spending the summer
at a sea side resort. A couple Of
days after the interview" appeared,
A. 7. Casey, Of this city, received a
letter from Jerry dated at Medicine
Lodge and saying among other
things: 81 would have written
sooner but have been busy on MI
farm" If Jerry's farm is a sea side
resort it differs materially from farms
in this section, although he was prob.
ably bathing on it the same as farm
ers do herein sweat. But in this
statement Long was just as near the
truth as he usually gets.-Larned

only time he cares to meet the peo-
pie is about election time. He is
not a leader but a follower; he would
not for moment think Of opposing
a measure proposed by his party
leaders. He has no individuality
except egotism.
No fault can be found with Mr..
Longs record in congress, for he
made none. The only record he
has made is his campaign speeches
which will not bear too close scrutiny
on account Of their inconsistencies.
-Four years ago he was in for the free
coinage of silver but he is not now.
Two years ago he was in favor of
free coinage by international agree
ment; he is not now. Why has he
changed his mind2 Because his
party changed front and he had to
follow. He is now a full hedged
gold standard man, and his speeches
will be along that line. The people
of the district however know him
and will not be fooled again. He
may misrepresent but his misrepre-
sentation will react upon himself.
He cannot be elected and knows it,
but he expects to get haul out Of
the census department. His being
a candidate will give him chance
at the money appropriated for TAX.
ing the census in this district. So
whether he wins or looses, Mr.. Long
will fill his pockets with jingling
coin.
Mr.. Long knows that he has made
many enemies by his postofice deals,
but he does not fear them, as he
expects those whom he has assisted
to whip the kickers into line. He is
probably right for many ofthem will
be fawning at his feet, imploring
recognition and he will let them
enter the ranks way down at the
lower end Of the column.-McPher

Chester the Smooth.

The writer has had an opportunity
of closely observing Chester /. Long,
the Republican candidate for con-
gress in the Seventh district; Long
is not man of the people; he feels
and carries himself above the PEG.
pie, and when he comes in contact
with those he considers below him
he acts as though he felt that he was
eondescending. He is a man Of
acknowledgements, aristocratie
education, and aristocratic ideas,
He is uncharitable to an obnoxious
degree. He does not sYmpathizs
with the thoughts and feelings Of the
common people; his ideas are, in his
opinion right, theirs wrong, and i
they take issue with him, he con.

If the people of Kansas know a
good thing when they see it, they will
continue in Office the administration
and the party which has made so
successful fight against the stock
yards trust, the school-book trust
and the insurance trust. No other
party, no other administration in
history ever did so much to curb the
rapacity of corporate wealth as has
the Populist party and the present
Populist administration in the state
Of Kansas. Whether the people Of
the state appreciate the work that has
been done in their interest by their
public servants remains to be seen;
but believe they do, and that they
will manifest that appreciation at

There seems to be an organized

he championed the maximum freight
rate idea. 1t is not true. He was
turned down because he was an ass.
II is true the Populists now do not
demand a freight schedule made by
the legislature, because the United
State supreme court, controlled by
corporate influences, has decided
against them. What is now advo-
