Clemens Talks of
Williams Order.
1t Is Held to be as Fully Warranted as
aPrObate Judges Order Restrain
Ing Dewey Would Be.
CORPORATIONS HAVEA FRIEND.

That thoughtful guardian Of Kansas,
Judge Williams, of Arkansas and the
universe, having arrived at Manitou the
executive and judicial branches Of the
State government can now take a much
needed vacation. The judge will kindly
take the State OF Kansas to his rooms
at his Manitou hotel and wisely care
for it there, and see that the reckless lit
tie orphan keeps out of mischief and
breaks no valuable corporation bric-a-
brac during the heated spell. Seriously,
there can be no doubt about Judge Will
iams' right and power to do what he has
done for Kansas coal company. He
has just as much Jurisdiction to ehtoin
the Attorney General of Kansas from
going after rebellious coal mine opera
tors as the Probate Judge of Shawnee
county would have to enjoin Dewey from
trying to make AguinaldO to be good;
and l hope the Attorney General will
treat this injunction with all the respect
that the supposed injunction by Judge
Dolman would undoubtedly be treated
by Admiral Dewey. There can be no
doubt that II Sheriff Cook should sail
across the seas and, clambering over the
deck OF the rear admira's flag ship
should present to that officer a certified
copy of an injunction by Judge Dolman
telling the conqueror of Manila to cease
interfering with the insurgent chiefs
philanthropic endeavors to hold up ev-
erybody in sight as the Kansas mine op-
orators hold up their miners, Dewey
would send some kind OF word back to
Dolman before proceeding to mop up the
earth with Aguinaldo. / think Boyle

braska, and President Wattles, Of the

Bishop Millspaugh delivered the invo-
cation. After the exercises were over

It's Chilly
For Republicans.
Stanley's Opening Speech at Lawrence
Heard by Less People Than McNaIl
Addressed In the Short
Grass Country.
ABUSE IN ARGUMENTS STEAD.

When Stanley's Lawrence meeting, at
which he was to open the campaign was
announced, many people recalled the
fact that it had previously been stated
that the opening would occur in the en-
emy's stronghold, and that they would
there demonstrate that the people were
interested in Republican success this
year and that Populism was doomed
The opening meeting was held at Law
renee last Thursday.
According to the Topeka Journal there
were 1000 persons present The Kansas
City Times places the attendance at
300; the Kansas City Journal carefully
refrains from giving any figures as to
the attendance, while the Topeka Capt.
tai says that the attendance was large.
These statements are amusing in view
OF the fact that on the same day, in
Pratt, in county casting less than 800
votes, Governor Leedy and Webb McNall
had an audience Of more than 1000 peO-
pie, Notwithstanding that it was merely
an ordinary campaign meeting and that it
was generally known in advance that
the Governors physical condition was
such that it would prevent him from
speaking 1t should also be remembered
that Lawrence, in which Mr.. Stanley's
opening melting occurred, has a popuIa-
tiOn of more than 1000 and that the Re-
publican majority in that city is nearly
as large as the aggregate attendance at
this meeting.
The result of Mr.. Stanley's meeting
seems to show that the people are not
much interested in Republicanism this
year. Mr.. Stanley's speech was devoted
to allegations that the Republican party
was entitled to the sole credit for the
success of the late war with Spain and
to a wholesale denunciation Of Populism
and everything connected with it. He
demonstrated that he proposes to make
his campaign one of abuse of the Pop
ulists instead of one of education along
the lines of good government.
Mr.. Stanley complained because the
legislation enacted by Populists did not
benefit every laboring man in the State.
He admitted that the legislation which
the Populists had given in the interest of
the labOrer was good, but that it was In
the interest Of so small a portion of the
laborers of the State that it did not
amount to fulfllment of pledges. He
went back and listed lot of laws which
had been passed almost a generation ago
and long before the present crop of Re-
publican politicians had anything to do
with State affairs and showed that his
party was really friendly to the labor
ing man.
He then took up the record of Superin-
tendent McNall and began by saying
that he did not want to detract from any
good thing that Webb had done. He re-
ferred to number of things which Mr.
McNall has done, preceding each state
ment with the word "if," as If to cast a
doubt as to whether the things had
really been done or not This was doubt
less done because Mr.. Stanley knows so
little about Kansas affairs that he
