lodge. which may, through its mem
bership or otherwise, purchase 400 bricks
or more, will be cut in the slab Of its re-
spective State, thereby Identifying 1t In
a permanent way with its construction
and making the building monument to
the brotherhood rather than lodge
room.

The criticism OF some Of the appoint
ees Of Governor Leedy by Populist pa
pers has started a lot of stuff In CIR
culation in Republican papers about an
"anti-Leedy clique" The PaOla Times,
one OF the papers which has been criti-
cising the work Of some Of the appoint
ees, meets these references with the fol-
lowing observations:
THE Times has no apologies to offer
for It's past utterances nor has 1t any
promises as TO what 1t will say In the
future. What 1t said recently concern
ing the action Of the party In power in
Kansas, In the matter Of appointing
Republicans to positions and retaining
others, 1t is willing to repeat But the
writer is no less a Populist, has no less
respect for the Peoples party or the
principles for which he has contended
for the past number Of years. Nor has
he ever sought for Office or solicited any
place, either elective or appointive. AS
the parent administers a rebuke to an
unruly child, yet loves the child just
the same, 80 what we said was uttered
more in sorrow than In anger, and we
would not now take this space to reit-
crate anything said, or to modify any
expression, were 1t not that certain Re-
publican sheets have pounced upon the
thought suggested and by that peculiar
ability to misconstrue and mislnterpret,
so Characteristic of Republican papers,
announced to their masters that the
Times has joined the anti-Leedy clique.
1t Is for the benefit Of these political
euttersnipes. rather than a desire to
make any further complaint, that these
lines are written.
"The Times has not Joined the anti
Leedy clique nor any other kind of a
clique. 1t is independent Of any po-
litical collar. Again, so far as the writer
has been able to discern, the only anti
Leedy clique which exists in Kansas Is
found among the horde of hungry Re-
publican Office seekers who have for
years disgraced the State and who are
now seeking to again fasten their apeish
claws on the peoples money box. Thus
far the Leedy administration, when
compared with any former Republican
reign, is as the light of the midday sun
compared to firefy, and as such the
mass Of the peopls view It,"

Washington. Nov. ia communica-
ton has been received from Minister
Merry at Nicaragua in relation to the
concessions granted the American syn
dictate company which proposes to con-
struct the Nicaragua canal. but this
cablegram did not contain the informa-
ton which Secretary Hay sought.
Mr.. Hay stated that he was much In
the dark as to what the concessions
really were. as he has unoficially re-
ceived contradictory reports. One OF
these states that the government OF
Nicaragua made certain concessions 10
the American syndicate company. sub
ject to the approval Of h maritime
company.
Another report war that these n
sions would be granted II the govern
ment Of Costa Rico would grant the
syndicate some concessions which are
necessary to the construction of the
canal as proposed by the new syndicate.
Costa Rico has not made these conces-
sions. and so far as the state depart
ment was able to learn does not con-
template doing so.
Secretary Hay does not deny the right
of the government of Nicaragua to en-
terrain the proposition of the American
syndicate at the expiration OF that
granted to the maritime company unless
this government a show good reason
why the concession granted IL should be
extended. In the meantime the Ameri-
can minister has been instructed to pro-
tect the rights of this government.
