WHO STANDS BY THE PEOPLE 2

J.. G. Reese, Republican candidate for repre-
sentative, said in speech at Colony that he
had no doubt of his election; that he did not
propose to promise to 60 to the legislature and
stand up for interests of the people; that such
promise would be prepOsterOus.
Hon. J. D. Stevens represented Anderson
county in the legislature at the last session, and
he worked and voted for the following bills:
Maximum freight rate; Banking law; To eS-
tabsh trial by jury in cases of contempt of
court; Against discrimination against labor
unions; Appointment of grain inspectors; APP
pointment of detectives; Liabilities of nsur-
ance companies; Textbook law; Stock-yards
law; Taxing judgments; Taxing telegraph and
telephone companies; To prevent blacklisting;
Scrip law, to compel corporations to pay in law
full money; Assignment of mortgages; Fee and
salary bill, which makes reduction of $4,000
in Anderson countys taxes; Taxation OF min-
eral reserves; Anti.trustlaw; besides numerous
other bills of minor Importance.
Comment is unnecessary. We have tried J.
D. Stevens, and we have found him true to the
peoples interests. The people of Anderson
county cannot afford to turn him down and elect
man who boldly says he will not promise to
stand by the people of this county.

Letter from Brother Taber.

EDITORS AGITAToR: Mckinley don't want
anything more said about Remember the
Maine He don't want it intimated that Nc
Kiney and god have been waging war of re-
venge. 1t might tarnish the glory of the holy
thing. Now stop remembering the Maine and
the Merrimac, and quit thinking about the
holy contracts of this holy Mckinley and god
war. Take off your hat, please, in the pres
ence of this holy firm, and remember that it is
quite as grand an institution as the more ancient
firm of the Duke of Alva and god. What
pity it is that these holy things and holy firms
make tracks. WM ]. TABER.
P. S.: Is not the sinking of the Maine and
the Mcrrimac closelylinked coincidence that
may lead to the discovery OF facts?

GET OUT THE VOTE.

]. Mac Love, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, says a poll of the state now
will not help us any, that the opposition to the
Republicans have the votes to elect their ticket
and the only thing that can defeat us is fail
ure to get the votes out OH election day. He
fears that many of the fusion voters, thinking
there is no need of working, may not get out on
election day. One stay-athome in each school
district means loss of S,SS7 votes in the state.
Let every'Popuist, every Democrat and every
Silver Republican get out and work.

Trying to Steal Cuba.

Our efforts to grab Cuba are not hourishing
at all satisfactorily. Not only are the pluto
cratic yarns about the Cubans exposed, but the
natives generally and the resident Spaniards are
Joining with the Cubans id demanding self-gov-
ernlnent for the island. 'The Spanish pub
lcists," at Havana, says an American cor
respondent, "have taken up the cudgels for
independence, with the rallying cry "Cuba
for the Cubans!" And "political clubs are
forming all over the city," composed of re-
cent enemies of the insurgents; and as Ha-
vana was but recently the center of annexation
seutiment, it is reasonable to infer that the gen.
cral movement for independence will spread
over the island if it has not already done so.
In that case The administration will need more
than 50, 900 troops if subjugation is extended.

Assistant Attorney General Smelling chal-

speaker to joint debate, or series of debates,
upon the issues of the campaign. Secretary
Frank Brown promised to place the matter be-
fore the committee, and he probably did So At
any rate, the challenge was not accepted, Mr.
Brown saying that the speakers were too busy

The President Back of All.

The president of the United States hands
over TO him "the federal patronage, or the
public Offices, to do with as Mr.. Quay wills,
and he wills to use it for what it is worth, as a
means to the construction and maintaining in
operation great and powerful political organ
ization. The president knows that the sordid
politician upon whom he confers the control of
the federal patronage in Pennsylvania uses it
not for the sole advantage of the country, but
for his own personal and political purposes.
To that extent, at least, does the president
make himself responsible to the country and to
Pennsylvania for both Quay and Quayism, the
latter being the most dangerous, malign and
corrupt force in America in American politics.

patients here are vastly superior to what ma

1t would be impossible for so many people,
from as many walks of life, to be brought to-

out who is right. He is not expected to be
acquainted with several hundred employees.
The board of charities is supposed to find out
the workings of the various institutions thro'
the superintendent. The superintendent finds
out from the heads of the different departments
the workings of the whole. We must necessa-
rily rely on the heads of the departments No
superintendent and no natron can assume the

ASYLUM SCANDALS.

FROM OSAWATOMIE ASYLUM.

EDITORS AGIrAToR: Owing to the recent
publication of certain articles i'll the Republican
papers at Topeka and elsewhere, in regard to
the morality aud management of the Osawato-
mic insauel asylum deem it my duty as an
officer of this institution, and in defense OF the
young lady employees here, to state that these
reports are false | have been associated with
the officers and employees of this institution for
eighteen months. find them to be perfect
ladies and gentlemen, and they have always
treated Inc with courtesy and respect. This is
large institution, requiring great amount of
labor and ability in the numerous departments
l, as matron, have the supervision of all the
domestic departments--the kitchens, of which
there are four, III which food is prepared for
1000 or mote patients, and 200 officers and
employees; the bake shop, i'll which from 500
to I 900 pounds of flour is used daily; the
laundry in which are employed ten ladies and
three gentlemen, beside patients; the sewing
room, III which seven machines are kept busy;
the tailor shop butcher, usher and number of
housemaids---in all, forty-eight employees, be-
sides the patients who assist these. find the
employees Just lemp.rate morals as good
and Just as competent at the present time as
they were durng the reign of the Republican
superintendent.
They make the assertion that the patients
are beaten, mistrcated and poorly fed at the
present time. Some of these parties who are
putting up s"cry are those who were dis
charged for committing some of the deeds they
are now accusing others Of. The mistreatment
cf patients is thing the superintendent and
officers OF the institution will not tolerate.
They assert that the inmates are il-fed, and
that their food is not wholesome This is also
an untruth AT no time during the past eight
cen months have the supplies of the steward
been drawn upon as heavily as in the past six
months Our present housekeepers are ladies
of ability, competent to fill the positions they
hold. Our cooks are competent, careful in the
preparation OF all food are ladies and gentle
men of good moral character. The food the
patients receive is much more wholesome and
of better quality than majority would have
at their own homes.
No gentleman would accuse the laundry help
of 'immoral" and ''indiscreet'' actions in the
language he has used. Our laundry girls are
of as good families as there are in the state of
Kansas, are bright intelligent, and their con-
duct is above criticism. The voters and people
of Kansas can visit our institution and ascer,
tain if these reports are not utter ialsehoods.
Visitors are ALWAYS made welcome at our insti-
tuition, and treated with courtesy, to which
some of my Garnctt friends can testify.

aud have no foundation.

= So we'll known are the causes which

that some physicians regard each case as

suicidal negligence. Philadelphia has
| suffered for years because of such negli-
gence in tho matter of its water supply

most aggravated results followed from an
added pollution of All already unclean

Further inquiry resulted in the ascertain

flowing of an intercepting sewer durips
