There is one thing in connection with
the subscription for the relief of the Porto
Rican sufferers which it is well to bear
in mind, although it may seem 10 add a
motive of self-interest TO an acton purely
charitable. Nothing can so certainly Sc
cure the confidence of the people of Porto
Rico as this aid in their time of greatest
need. If they find that the United States
Government is doing for them what Spain
never did. and what they could not have
done for themselves, their loyalty to the
flag will be unwavering from this time on.

False Morality.

One OF the most conspicuous instances
of what may be called institutional NOR
ality is the Dreyfus trial. This code of
! morality is to be found in religious, politi-
cal, and social affairs. 1t consists in con-
doning most crimes which do not affect
the reputation of some institution, while
Furnishing severely those which do. 1t has
a certain basis of expediency. but its
workings are apt to be mischievous.
Dreyfus was condemned, and the facts
of his trial suppressed, Ito save the hon
or of the country" according to former
Minister of Justice, Guerin. The opinion
of the average plain, straightforward
American will probably be that the honor
CT country which would permit this sort
of thing was hardly worth saving. 1t is
time that people in general realized that
injustice is never honorable, that the dis
tortion of facts is not only harmful. but
useless, and that no institution is worth
saving II il has to be supported by props
of doubledealing, persecution, injustice,
| and lies. 1t is true that some great in
| stitutions do exist, partially supported by
methods which SAVIOR of intrigue and
| falsehood. but they are great and benefi-
| cent, not because of this false morality,
but in spite Of it. What the people want
and they are coming to desire it more and
more earnestly every day-is a religion, a
| ruler, a political party, in which they can
| trust. Since the Spanish war this feeling
has become particularly strong in our own
country. The American people do not
want intrigue and double dealing, in their
public affairs. They want men who are
honest, open, and above board, whose ac-
tions need no apology and no concealment.
They do not want President who is COM
PEELED to cover up facts and act in the dark
to save the credit of his Administration.

GOVERNOR INDEPENDENT.
Fight Opened on Him Because He
Voted For Fusion.

The Ell Dorado Republican has opened
a fight on Governor tSanley because he
exercised the right of a free American
by voting for whom he pleased at the
recent election.
The Republican says: ''W. Eugene
Stanley, Republican governor of KAN
saS, lived in the Second precinct of the
Second ward Of Wichita and was regis
tered as q, voter. Later on he moved to
his father-in-laW's house. in the Third
ward. Nine days before the election he
tried to register in the Third ward, but
was one day too late. on election day
he went to his old home to vote but was
challenged. His vote was sworn in and
his ballot was numbered 81 J. NJ.
BaldersOn is an eX-union soldier, with
a fine record. He is member of the
Grand Army of the Republic and also a
member of the Union veterans union
he was the Republican nominee for
district judge of the Sedgwick county
district. He has practiced law In
Wichita for 25 years, a good portion of
the time in the same courts with w
Eugene Stanley. No man can say n
word against Judge Balderson. either
as citizen, a lawyer or as RepubE-
can.
wv. Eugene Stanley had promised to
vote for D. NJ. Dale, the Fusion candi-
date for judge. Stanley knew he was
not a resident of the Second precinct
Second ward. as he had tried to regis
ter in the Third ward. the next day
after the registration books had clos
ed, but was refused. Stanley made a
speech in Wichita. a night or two be-
fore the election, and begged Repubu-
cans to vote the straight Republican
ticket; and especially did he insist that
Republican voters should stand by the
old soldier candidates.
"Of course the judges, clerks and 9TH
ers who were present at the counting
of the vote in the Second precinct. Sec

sworn in by w. Eugene Stanley. Ballot
No. 81 contained an Y mark for d. NJ.

are not so Republicans in Wichita but

der candidate, for judge. and voted for
Dale. This is the kind of man w.
Eugene Stanley is and this treachery,
on his part, viii beat him for a second
term for governor"

MESSAGE NOT DELIVERED.
Attorney Austin Wants 500 For
Negligence of Western Union.

Suits have been filed in Justice
Wright's court in Soldier township
against the Western Union Telegraph
company, which present the telegraph
rate law in a new light. The plaintiffs
in the suits are, both attorneys, E. A.
Austin and E. c. Markley.
Some time ago Mr.. Markley was down
at Lyndon on business. Mr.. Austin
wanted to communicate with him and
therefore sent him a telegram. Through
some mistake the telegram was not de-
Hvered when it reached Lyndon and
Mr.. Markely did not get it for a week
The telegraph rate law states that
when a telegraph company refuses or
fails through negligence to send or de
liver Telegram, it is liable for 500
statutory damages to both the party
sending the message and the party to
whom it is sent. in addition to any ac-
tual damages that might have accrued
The ground on which the telegraph
companies are fighting the law is that
the rates named in it are coniscatOry
and therefore can not be enforced In
the cases of Mr.. Austin and Mr.. Mark

graph company was paid and the mes

GO JURY SATURDAY.
Hillmon Insurance Trial Is Nearing
the End.

George F. Sharitt, clerk of the United
States circuit COURTS home from Leav-
enworth where he has been for four
weeks in attendance at the Hillmon
trial The lawyers are now arguing
the case, so he could get away.
The testimony in the case was COM
pleted on Monday. Tuesday was spent
in arguing the instructions which should
be given to the jury by the court, and
yesterday the attorneys began q, three
days bombardment of the jury with
their oratOrical pyrotechnics. They will
be given until Friday night to complete
their arguments and on Saturday morn
ing the case will go to the jury.
The introduction of Arthur Simmons,
a LeavenWOrth cigar manufacturer as
a witness by Mrs. HillmOn's attorneys,
produced quite a sensation. He testf-
fed that AdOlph Walters, the man
whom the insurance companies claim
was murdered and his body palmed off
for Hillmon's, worked for him two
months after he is alleged to have been
murdered Simmons produced his books
with the entry of the date showing
when Walters had worked for him.
Mr.. Sharitt says the testimony does
not have so much weight as it might
therwise have from the fact that there
is another Adolph Walters living in
Leavenworth who has also worked for
Simmons, and the entry in the book
might have been for him. Simmons
however, identified the other Walters
by his photograph.

BREAD ON THE WATER.
Returns After Many Days to a Benev-

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 16.-Several
years ago a ragged-looking young fel-
low, want and exposure plainly visible
on his features, applied to Mrs. Grace
S. Carter, chief clerk of the state board
of vital statistics, and his bearing so
preyed upon her sympathies that she
befriended him. He earned So by copy
ing figures for Mrs. Carter, and after
clothes had been given him, went his
way. The boy told Mrs. Carter his
story, in effect that he had left high
school and a good home in the east for
a life of adventure, and he was now re-
penting of his bargain.
Today Mrs Carter received a letter
from her protege, inclosing a draft for
800 and saying that he had passed
through college and was now well set
tied in business The encOurag cement
given by Mrs. Carter had proved the
turning point in his career, and the 500
was only a slight remuneration for the
estimable services she rendered..
