In Congress.

Governor Brady, of Alaska, will pre-
sent the matter Of needed legislation for
that territory to Congress. He says that
the laws OF the territory are inadequate
to deal with the crowds which are now
rushing in.
The bill for the general reorganization
Of the regular army and a material In
crease in the number Of enlisted men
was defeated. 1t Is alleged that militia
mems influence dld much to prevent the
passage OF the measure. They feared
that in case 1t passed that the militia
would not be used in case Of war.
All last week members Of both houses
of Congress received kilograms from
bankers and corporation officers urging
that the wise peace policy" OF the Pres
ident be sustained. The kilograms were
so much alike that 1t was clear that they
were all inspired from the same source.

for actual service to the State. Vouchers
were also made and audited for Miss Kate
Adams and Chas Hull as stenOgraphers
each being equal to the amount OF one
months pay In the State positions which
they afterward held. These vouchers
were all approved by Governor Morrill,
and were ordered paid from his contln-
gent fund. The BrstOw voucher, which
is in all material respects the same as
the Others, Is reproduced In Photographic
fac simile in this issue.
At the time these payements became
known to the public Republican papers
apologiZed for the proceeding by saying
that they were made for the expense
attending the transaction Of State bust
ness, but 1t was not explained how these
men could be attending to State affairs
when their terms had not yet begun.
The fact that these vouchers were ex-
eCuted, approved and paid was acknowl-
edged by Governor Morrill, In the weak
apology offered for his action in his in
terview published in the Topeka Journal
Independent Republican,, May Z, 1896:
There is nothing about the is
suance Of these vouchers but what
ia all straight as far as am con-
Cerned. The employees in the Office
came to me and said they thought
they ought to be paid for the work
they did for the State prior to in
auguraton. agreed with them and
proposed to pay them out Of my own
pocket, as we did vast amount Of
work during that time. Petitions

of these monopolies, which means that the
dividends now paid in watered stock shall
revert to the public exchecquer for the ben
eft of the whole people. Our candidates
are pledged to the abolition of the contract
system on all public works, and mini
mum rate Of wages in keeping with the re-
uuirements Of free American citizens.
We are pledged to the maintenance Of our
public schools at the highest point of eff
cheney and l for one believe that the solu-
ton of the social problem lies In the edu-
cation of the rising generation. Free educa-
ton and Industrial pauperism cannot exist
side-by-side for any great length OF time.
and the fact that the schools of our city
are hampered by incompetent teachers ow-
ing to the Republican policy Of starvation
wages, is false economy that will be seri-
ously felt If longer persisted in.
We believe In the people sharing the bene-
fits of our progressive civilization, and have
adopted platform in keeping with the de-
mailds of the age, and nominated men who
are not afraid to defend the principles enun-
ciated therein. while the Republicans have
drafted q platform absolutely meaningless

THREE HANDS WENT UP.
Kiefer Had That Many Friends at
a Mass Meeting.

Mass Meeting.
rousing meeting Of the Afro-Amercan
Schiffmann club was held at 1884 Jackson
street last night. There were over 100 col
ored voters present. Louis de Lyons was the
chairman of the meeting, and ]. s. Harris
acted as secretaryG
John Coquire delivered a spirited address.
He told how the eolored people had persist
emily voted the Republican ticket and had
gotten nothing but abuse in return.
j. H. Loomis contrasted DR.. Schiffmann
and Col. Kiefer so far as their attitude to the
colored people are concerned. DR.. Schiff-
mann had recognized the race in the ap-
pointment of colored teachers in the public
opposed the appointment of colored men to
act as janitors Of the schools because he
said it would result in harm to the teach
ers. q
Mr.. Loomis said the rcolored people of St.
Paul held a mass meeting eight years ago to
protest against Col Kiefer's attitude to them,
and thta he was probably more friendly
to the colored man now than he was at that
time.
He also called attention to the fact that Mr..
Horst had always refused to lease any of
his buildings to a colored man.
Wade, the governors messenger Dilling-
ham and Robinson were present, and tried
to do some work for Kiefer, but fell down.
call was made for all those present in
favor of Kiefer to hold up their hands Three
hands went up. Edmund Jackson made one
of his Characteristic speeches. and the meet
ing adjouprned, after indorsing the entire
Democrat Citizens ticket.
