SINCE our articles on the Bigger
bond contract in which the fiscal agency
Of the State was referred to, we have
bad sOme inquiries as to what the fiscal
agency is and what its purpose Is. The
statute establishing it is as follows
"The governor, secretary of State and
auditor of State are hereby authorized
to designate some bank in the city of
New York as a State agency for the
payment Of bonds and coupons issued
by the State of Kansas, or any county,
township, city, or school district in said
State, which ale by their terms made
payable in said city of New York"
Before the passage of this law the
bonds were often made payable in
The city Of New York and usually at
some particular bank. The law further
states regulations and fixes the maxi
mum commissions which may be
charged by the bank for its work In act.

member, at very much better terms
than those stipulated by this contract
with Mr.. Bigger. They were to run
twenty years with an option to pay at
ter ten years, at per cent. These run
thirty years with an option to pay after
twenty years, and forthaC reason should
sell readily at q lower rate than the
others, but instead under the contract
they were higher. To be sure the con-
tract allowed them to accept lower
bid but in that case Mr.. Bigger was to
get his commission Of One-tOurth per

The bond contract of which we have
had so much to say for the last two
weeks is so rank thing that we find
many republicans, leaders too, who are
saying "sick EN-" to all efforts to have
the thing annuled. This probably ex-
plains the all-pervading silence of the
News. 1t does not want to attack or
criticise its friends and dares not de-

We HAVE received proofs of an arti-
Gle published in the Washington Star
in which L. G. Bateman, of Maine,
makes most bitter attack on Senator
Butler as chairman of the National
Peoples Party committee. He also
attacks Bryan and says Wharton Bar
ker. editor of the Philadelphia Ameri-
can will be the peoples party candidate
for president. Barker writes a very
good editorial and is one OF the converts
of 1896 but the permission of the use of
his name in such a manner Is palpable
evidence that cheap DOtOrity is sufti-
Cient to unbalance his better judgment.

MURDER MOST FOUZ.

Daily States.
Murder! murder! murder! rings
out on the midnight air, and man
means and dies in pool of blood.
Murder! murder. murder! shrieks a
woman is beaten and bruised and
bloodstained But the aim of the
law stretches out and grasps the as
sassin and the vile wife-beater. A
United States pest camp; his brow
is hot; his breath comes quick and
in gasps; the young hero is dying,
and soon the hero heart ceases to
beat; he who came forth at his
country's call is at eternal rest; and
this not because of the hardships
and perils of war; he has stood up
on no stricken field; he has not
heard the whistle of bullet. nor
the shrek of shell. He is dead,
though he should be alive; he is
dead because of the gross neglect
and criminal incompetency Of his
Government which he started out
to serve. Here, however, there
can be no retribution; no law can
reach the criminal President and
the stupid and cowardly Secretary
of War. There are no jails, no re-
tributive punishment for those ex-
allied crucifciers of the country's
honor and glory. The only echoes
from the dead soldiers cot are the
groans and tears Of stricken moth
er's heart.
How many heroic men have been
thus murdered by the incompetent
cy, the favoritism and corruption
of this administration cannotb east
ly reckoned. The camp at Maimi
is the latest Golgotha estab-
lished by, and Lieut.. Sneed,
of Company A, First Louis
lana Regiment, is the most recent
victim of the criminal incompetent
cy, cupidity, subserviency and IA
voritism of the administration. If
the troops to which he belonged
had been left in or near this city, or
if they had been left near Mobile,
this splendid young soldier and gen
tleman would be we'll and doing ser
vice for his country to-day. But
there were no millionaire land
owners in the vicinity Of Mobile or
New Orleans to be placated, cod
died and Obliged, and so the Louis
lana soldiers were sent to sand
bank belonging to plutocratic Re-
publican and friend of the admins
tration, there to camp and march
and drill in sand and drink rotten
water. The consequences are that
typhoid fever has broken out among
these troops, hundreds Of them are
sick; some of them seriously i'll, and
many have died. Among the latter
is this fair and heroic youth, who
was a general favorite in this city,
and whose untimely death is
mourned by this whole community
But, Avaunt all such sentimental
twaddle. Are we not engaged in a
war with a dying nation to redress
-"e wrongs of horde of worthless
mulattoes? Are we not establish
ing the liberties of the savages of
the Philippines? Are we not even
engaged in stealing Hawaii and
what other leper and fever-smitten
lands we can lay our hands on?
What the devil then is it if several
thousand American soldiers have
been sacrificed at Santiago, a place
of no stragetic importance; if ty-
phoid has scourged the army at
Miami; if BERTHE Sneed, the loved
of women, the pride Of men, has
persisted in the rush Of all tn csc
moving events? The work Of HUI
mainly is going forward; the flag that
was once hailed as the ensign of the

dead, and here's to the niggers and
savages whose votes we are to count
for the Republican party.
John S. Kendall, in the Picayune,
this morning, thus mentions the
funeral of young Sneed:
cat the head of the procession
marched the band, playing Chopin's
Funeral March, The escort,
which followed immediately in
front of the coffin, was composed
of the first platoon of Company A.
Sneed's command, under First
Lieutenant Wharton. The other
platoon followed behind the pail
bearers, who included Lieutenant
Wilson, Of Company NJ; Lieutenant
Madden, of Company E; Lieuten-
ant Austin, of Company L; Lieu
tenant Ford, of Company NJ; Lieu
tenant Yuey, of Company F; and
Lieutenant Kearney, of Company E.
ssThe entire regiment followed as
mourners, the officers preceding the
men in single group. The COM
panies were under their first SER
geants.
tsThe procession moved in this
order slowly down to the railroad
station, which is situated some
quater Of mile away. Here Mrs.
Sneed, the lieutenant's mother, and
her younger son, Mr.. Wesley
Sneed, were waiting, and to them
the body was turned over"
All, William Mckinley, can you
not from your easy chair in your
gorgeous office in Washington wit
ness a vision Of this scene? Can
you not hear that bereaved mothers
means; witness her scalding tears
over the corpse of the hero boy she
gave to her countrys cause and
whom you sacrificed in the interest
of the Piutocrat Flasler? In the
Great Day millions of risen heroes
will speak up for the young soldier,
but what recreant disembOdied
spirit, vain man, will lift a voice
before the Throne for you and

gallant boys, no voice from the
ranks, when Sneed's name is called,
will answer, sDead on the field of

whispering winds; the fierce voices
of the sweeping sea will respond,
sharp as the lightning and loud as
reverberating thunders ''Mur-
