Stamina With Reiff Up Landed First

The books were bombarded at Oakland
track yesterday, every choice going
through with the exception of Obsidian
The track was ankle deep with mud, but
there still remained good, firm footing
The attendance was fair considering the
unsettled state of the weather.
For the opening five and a half furlong
scramble Magdalenas opened favortte, but
the stable did not seem very sweet on the
f1lly's chances, and she receded in the bet
ting. Sanity had the call at post time, and

from Ocorona. Polka, on which quite a
warm tip was circulated, ran third.
Everybody seemed to be aware of the
fact that Truxillo reveled in sloppy foot

managed to maintain the lead with Hora-

year-old scramble. Spencer got the filly
away well to an uneven break, and lead

hard drive: Away on equal terms, the lat

money.

THEIR OWN PROPERTY.

Mr.. EDITOR; l read about six
inches in the Hutchinson News the
other day. My wife will allow
me to read that much in II II she is by
to help me "hold my hosses," but she
says it's never safe for my Christian
character to read more than that
amount, no matter what assistance Is
given toward self-cOntrol,
Now the piece l read the other day
was not altogether lie and thought
for that reason 1t deserved meritorious
mention. 1t was not more than about
half lie. 1t said that the Legislature
which just adjourned was the cleanest
ever held in Kansas, that there wasn't
even a. report Of Doodle being used
while other legislatures have had to
appoint committees to investigate
themselves.
Well now, Mr.. Editor, amt any
smarter than good populst ought to
be, bat l have bought hogs enough to
know that even common clod hopper
amt going to buy nothing; that is, |
mean when he buys he will buy some
thing; something that will be OF some
value to him. Now am going to as
sert on the knowledge Of good judge
Of live stock, that there wasn't ma
jOrity member of that lower house of
the legislature land of course they are
the ones the News referred to, the ones
who gave Billy his $4,000 job and to
whom he is Of course grateful that
was worth buying, not even at two
cents head. Why no. OF course
any one to buy must have money, and
what use would 1t be for those who
had the money, the corporations, the
syndicates and trusts, to buy what
they already have the use Of. They
naturally wouldn't spend their good
money for a man who Was already do
ing them all the good he could by
keeping still. When they buy they
want to buy someone who can deliver
to them something of value-the de.
feat Of some bill dangerous to their
corporate in .erests, and IL there are no
such bills, what's the use of buying.
How many such bills were consideredp
Railroad bills-nOne, Stock yards
bills-none. For labor organizations
none. Telegraph and express compa-
nies-none. Coal operators-none.
Insurance-non And so on down
the list.
Now IL q skunk is allowed to 90

IT rs now the time for the insurance
companies to laugh, and they no doubt
are quoting TO themselves the addaCe
that he laughs best who laughs last,
One day last week Arthur Capper Of
the Mail aud Breeze, appeared before
Governor Stanley with u string Of
charges against Insurance CummIs-
soner McNall sufficient In quantity
aud grossness to hang the whole pop
ulist party. II was not presumed That
Capper knew Of the matter charged
personally, but 10 back them were
those ex-parte allidaylts OF u lot Of
officials of offended insurance compu-
MES which were filed In court before
election. The governor drew hims II
up to executive and judicial dignity
and forthwith Issued Il summons ~
Mr.. McNall to appear before his su-
preme excellency within twen,y-lour
hours and defend himself Mr., Nc
Nall Of course knew just NJ well MS
the rest Of rs, th & "the critters eyes
we're sot," and to save useless eS-
pense, Informed the governor that
whenever his successor was appointed
and qualified be was ready to turn the
office over. In the same letter he made
q defense Of his administration and
made several Sits In the cuticle of our
Sunday school governor, 1he ante
election promises 10 the insurance COM
panies have been fulfilled. They can
now rest In peace aud restore their
rate books land rates, 1t has been
thought by many populsts that the re-
publican administration would not
dare to 90 back TO the old plan under
which the State maintains an insur-
ance commissioner to assist the in
surance companies to rob the people,
but would be compelled by public sen
timent to make an effort toward hold
Ing the rates down to where they were
under McNall, in other words to fol.
low his precedent, But the present
indications are that they will fulfil
their pledges to the insurance compa-
MES, and rely on chance and bigger
donations from them next year for sal
walton.

A GOOD story which has the further
merit Of being true, IS told on the
board Of charities Of this business ad
ministration. Alta meeting not long
ago they had under consideration the
appointment Of new superintendent
for the Soldiers Orphans Home. A
paid faced, care worn, grizzled old
veteran with an empty sleeve, by the
name of W, II, II, Young, made
pathetic plea for che old soldier.
With tears and eloquence his memory
played upon the heartStrings" as he
told how the veterans were turned out
like Nebuchadnezzar, to grass, while
some sleek and oily young pOpsqIirt
captures the jobs; and giving bis empty
sleeve one long last flourish he sat
down to await his fate, His oratory
was effective and he was appointed.
A day or two later the board was as
founded to learn that their old hero
had not lost his arm In the war ut all,
but In a railroad wreck for which he
got $4,000 from the Missouri Pacific
company. The board the other day
considered a proposition for his re-
mOval, but evidently they considered a
man so smooth too valuable to dis
pense with, and decided to let him
remain.

A RATHER startling statement comes
from England In Parliament the
other day, hot debate came up over
the proposition to increase the tax on
land values and when II came TO a vote
not only all the liberals and Irish voted
for 1t, but many Of the conservatives
abstained from voting so that the re-
suit was q majority Of only thirty.four
against II when usually on party vote
it would have been q hundred. The
liberal party is committed to it. The
measure is not the single tax, In that
it does not abolish the other forms Of
taxation, but 1t approaches It.

A CORRESPONDENT asks us to emu
merate the good laws passed by the
Legislature just dead. 1t Is a most diff.
dicult task. There are really but two
we can think Of which are Of general
importance, the one establishing a
ewine factoryat the State penitentlary
and the one abolishing bucket shops
These are bills which we believe to
have some little merit in them though
the public is not very intensely inter-
ested in them. Our correspondent
also asks for an explanation of the ma
tlonal bankruptcy law passed by Con.
gress. This law permits anyone who
is insolvent, and against whom various
claims for indebtedness stand unsatis-
fed, to Ale a petition in bankruptcy in
the federal district court Of his district.
