From tie c. L0sis ReP1biie-
An investigation in the Missouri
Pacific shops at Kansas City, Kan. !.
under the direction Of the St. Louis
officials Of the road. has led 70 grave and
startling developments

found TO exist at that point wholesale

PAY rolls are said to have been pad

men compelled 70 pay 70 get jobs and 70
pay 70 keep them, and other grave
irregularities are said 70 have been
practiced-
Whether these have been confined 70
the Kansas City shops OF have extended
TO other parts Of the system can only be
conieetured.
Master Mechanic New has resigned.
About 70 employees Of the shops Of high
aud low degree have been summarily
discharged.
1t Is said that prosecutions will follow
the completion Of the investigation.
For long time there have been occa-
sional mutterings from the men al the
shops. It Is stated that on several oc-
casions sffidayits #sre sent 10 the St.
Louis officials. but as nothing was ever
heard from them il was presumed they
did not reach the men they We're in
tended 10 reach.
About q month ago. il seems. the men
who were groaning under the assess
ment system. appointed a COMMITTEES
70 carry xfidsvits to st. Louis and place
them in the hands of II. g. CLARK.
general superintendent Of the operating
department Of the road.
The committee came here and laid the
facts before Mr.. Clark. An inyestiga-
ton WAS at once begun.
Two detectives were sent TO the shops
disguised as mechanics. They applied
for work. II il said they did not get il
until they had paid somebody money for
it. They were put to work as common
laborers. 1t Is stated, and their names
placed on the pay roofs as skilled
mechanics. They are said TO have been
compelled to give up part Of their
monthly wages. They gathered evidence
from the other employees and reported to
the St. Louis officials.
Circular letters were sent to all the
employees. They were asked to state
how much money they had paid for
retaining their positions. and were as
sured that the company would refund
the money Those who confessed were
recompensed and discharged, pending a
further investigation.
Thus far. it Is said the practice Of
making employees pay for their jobs is
the only evil which mas been proven TO
exist, but there is said TO be reason for
the supposition that the payrolls have
been padded and straw men have
been drawing big salaries.
IL is claimed that about $500 was col
lected every month from the men in the
shops, exclusive Of the amounts paid
for jobs in the first place. The in
vestigation has not shown yet who
participated in the distribution.

Subscribers Of country newspapers
often allow their subscriptions to be-

and yet feel insulted if If their paper is
stopped or a statement of the delin-

expect any courtesy from metropolitan
papers but the country papers are ex-
pected to come on whether they are
paid for or not. This is unjust exac

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 22.-
Those in authority in Democratic circles
say Senator James K. Jones has no in
tention at present Of retiring from the
Craftsmanship Of the Democratic national
committee that if his health permits he
will resume his duties as chairman
after the committee meets 70 decide on
the location Of the next convention, and
If his health does not admit Of his as
suming the responsibility Of further
conducting the affairs Of the chairman
ship he will then tender his resignation .
The meeting to decide upon the place of
the next convention viii be held some
time in the fall or early winter.
This places a quietus upon the story
that ne was to be succeeded by ex-
Governor William j. Stone. Senator
Jones has officially denied the report.
and Senator Cockrell, who, during SEN
atOr Jones illness, has been doing a
great part Of the work of the committee

Jones would remain at the head Of the

The Battle Of 1900,

United States Senator Teller and
Congressman Shzfroth's statements
pablizhed recently enphatically declare
they favor maintaining the silver
organization not only in Colorado but
throughout the Union. They say the
silver question will be the paramount
issue in 1900. Teller says the gold
Democrats viii nc. Dc able TO control
the Democratic convention. and that.
as in 1895. they will support the Re
publican candidates. He says the
Democrats in convention will reafHrm
the platform Of 1895. and that the party
must and will be allied with the Silver
Republican party and the Populist
party, both of which must maintain
their organizations and lend all their
aid 70 win the victory in the battle Of
1900.
Il cannot conceive political situa-
ton that will induce ne 10 favor

said Senator Teller. The Republican
financial system is fraught with danger

to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. The Republican party will

peace. no. less than 100. 90 men. az an
expense Of not less than sl25. 900. 600 10
$3.50, 600. 90 per annum. Il is their

lieYe the continued administration Of

Teller would express no preference as

nomination Of Bryan and Towne. He
says there Is complete Silver Republican
organization in thirty-two states. and
at least that number will be represented
in the national convention.

Arkansas Women.

From the Little Rock Gazette
The second annual meeting Of the Ar
kansas Federation of Women's s Clubs is
a thing Of the past and was a most
glorious success from start to finish.
Helena was in gala attire to welcome
her guests from all over the state and
her hospitality was without measure.
Too much cannot be said Of its fair
women who opened their homes and
made the two days Of the convention a
dream Of delight. The opening night a
magnificent reception was given at the
home Of Mrs. J. B. Pillow. president
of the A +. W. c., followed the next
afternoon from five to seven by another
beautiful reception given by Mrs. w.
". Neal and Mrs. W. B. Reeves at the
beautiful home Of Mrs. Reeves. They
were assisted in receiving by all the
officers. The same evening from TO
II the Pscaha Club and Kings Daugh-
ters gave a reception at the Ridge City
Club. kindly put at their disposal by the
gentlemen Of the club. The next after
noon there was delightful boat ride on
the Mississippi at which. as well as all
the other functions. delightful refresh
meuts were served. This was followed
at night by a large theater party TO hear
the Andrews Opera Company in Fra
Diavola. With all these delightful
social affairs the business of the meeting
went steadily on. The convention was
convened in the Woman 5 Library hall

boasted advance in civilization is a de-
lnsiOn. We are savsges Just as the
Spanish tOrturers were in the days of
the Duke Of Alya. The horrible atroci-
ties of the inquisition furnished no case
worse than the burning Of Hose. Hor-
rible, brutal and revolving as the crime
was, it was exceeded. if possible, by
the bloodthirsty and savage mob. This
is what mob law does for a country.
Il brings out all the low. degraded and
savage qualities in man-all the de
praved, cruel and bloodthirsty instincts.
IL destroys all the finer sensibilities that
adorn human life, and makes men saw

There were no doubt men among the
lynchers who abhorred the proceedings.
but the trouble is that in all cases Of
that kind the bad element-the element
that is but little if any better than the
yictim-gets on top. We believe the
assurance Of an immediate trial for
such crimes as Hose committed would
be the best safe guard against lynch
ings.

The leaders have agreed and Reed and
Roosevelt have consented to keep out.
4 Washington correspondent has in
formation that the Republican cam

did that of 1896. The convention will
not take place until the latter part Of
July, after the Democratic and Popu-
listic gatherings have been held.

TO a long canvass. The executive com
mittee of the Republican national COM
mittee will be called 10 meet in Wash

termined when the machinery will be
put in motion. New England, which
was split between Reed and Mckinley
