THE NEW MILITIA.

The Military Board held two meet
ings in Richmond on Thursday for the
purpose of discussing the reorganization
OF the State volunteers.
The situation was carefully and ex-
haustively discussed, and while the final
decisions reached were few, all the facts
confronting those who are attempting to
reorganize the State military were
brought into view and carefully weigh
ed so that it will now be possible to pro-
ceed intelligently and at once.
The frequently expressed desire OF the
governor that the number of companies
IN the State be kept down to twelve,
forming one regiment, was concurred in
by majority of the board, though the
plan is thought to be hardly possible.
1t was agreed that there should be
prof ably four companies in Richmond,
40 IN Norfolk, two in Portsmouth, and
one in Newport News, Petersburg, Dan
Vi le, Charlo lesville, Fredercks burg,
Al, xandria, StauntoD, Lynchburg, Roa-
oke, respectively, and one at some
point in the southwest, probably at Pc
cahontas. This makes B total Of eight
teen compsuies-one regiment and
half. Ii may be that Que of the Suffolk
companies will recognize. Smith6eld
mas one already, Petersburg may furnish
wo instead of one, Hampton's com.
paly may reorgauize and Lypchburg
ard Roanoke may supply two compan.
les each instead of one. La such event
here will be two regiments However,
it is the desire of the Governor that
tee number OF companies be brought
below eighteen rather than carried
above. One full regiment, well drilled,
we'll eqipped. AID inspected closely, is
ol5 ldel regarding the size OF the State
mill ary force.
The question of money was carefully
considered. 1t is understood that the
total of State and national funds now
at the di; p sal of the Governor for the
use of the military is about 1920
The reorganization of the military
will begin at once. Several companies
nave already reorganized. Company
B, Of the old First regiment; Company
F, of the same regiment, and Company
B, of the Blues, tave perfected organi-
zation. Company A, of the Blues, has
heen partially organized. Company K,
Of the Third regiment, at Fredericks-
burg, has also reorganized. All these
com paules have not applied for read
mis 5ioa to the ate service. Permis
sion will be grauted at once
After the meeting of the board
Thursday night Governor Tyler stated
that he was hopeful OF having the work
of reorganization completed in q com
paratively short time. He expects to
receive within the next few days
great many applications for readmls-
sion 10 the service OF the State Rich
mond Dispatch.

DEPCALES, handsome line at
4. SLAYMAKER'S.
People's voice., 1899-09-21

We commend the following from the
pen of Marion Watson, of the Hutchinson
Bee, to the careful consideration of all
persons regardless of party who for any
reason believe or pretend to believe that
fusion between ?opulists and Democrats
is not from every standpoint honorable
and proper and best.
Editor Morgan has another attack Of
insomnia, because of the disposition Of
Democrats and Populists in this county
to support the same ticket. According
to his ideas fusion between Democrats
and Populists is a terrible thing; but q
fusion of diScordant elements under the
name of Republican is all right. The
Republican party of today is nothing il
not fusion for the spoils Of Office. The
Republican party is composed Of men Of
every shade OF political, moral and relig-
ious belief. 1t takes in the gold bug and
the free silverite, on the same platform
and in support of this statement we need
only to point to the gold platform of the
Pennsylvania Republicans and the I6 to
platform Of The Utah Republicans. In
the Republican party we find such nota.
bic silver advocates as Senators Chandler
and Wolcott fusing with such gold bug.
as Secretary Gage and Congressman Nc
Cleary. Imperialists like Hanna and
People's voice., 1899-09-21

Bliss are fusing with anti-imperialists
like Senators Hoar and Hale. Advocates
OF the trust, like Depew and Rockefeller
fuse with opponents Of the trust like Pin.
gree and Alger. High protectionists fuse
with free traders. Socialists like Jone:
fuse with monarchists like Mckinley.
In Kansas we have like conditions
Here We have trust Republicans and an.
thrust Republicans working in harmony
for the same ticket. We have prohibition
Republicans and whiskey Republicans,
and lot of vacillating demag6gues ike
Stanley who don't know where they
stand. In fact every vagary, every
iiiosyncrcsy, every extreme view upon
every conceivable subject, economic,
political, moral or religious, has some
where in the Republican party of this
state an ardent adherent.
All this conflict of opinion, of sentiment
and of policy is fused, united and COM
bined in strife for ofice. The only
test of Republican fealty in Kansas is to
obey the bosses and vote the ticket. Yet
this unholy aggregation Of place hunters
and political trlmmers pretend to be
horrihed because Democrats and Popu-
lists, who are in accord on fully seventy
FIVE per cent of the great political issues
OF the day, should unite upon common
candidates for office.
But they are not Mortified. Their unc-
tious pretenses are theveriest hypocrisy.
Their disgust arises from their failure to
divide the opposing forces. Whatever
their outward attitude may be, in their
innermost souls they have only contempt
for the gullibility Of the "Stalwart"
Democrat, or the "middle-of-the-road"
Populist. 1t is the fusionist they really
respect for it is the fusionist they fear

Shall Curtis or Bailey name the receiv
er for the defunct National bank al
Atchison is the great question agitating
republican circles now. The $500 OF
more per month paid the receiver is a fat
job. Qualifications and the interests OF
depositors and stockholders are not con.
sidered. A political pull is all that is
necessary and then the job is made to
last as long as possible. The republican
state chairman, Mort ,Albaugh, is draw
ing his salary at Emporia, Barney Sheri-
dan is drawing his in Wellington. Both
were appointed for purely political
reasons. Fat salaries for as many years
as the job can be made to hold out and
liberal attorneys fees usually wipe out
d good part of the assets. The stock
holders are then called upon to put up
the balance. Some of the citizens of
Wellington as they pocket their losses
can sympathize with those in Atchison
in their admiration of this iniquitous
system of robbery called "The finest
banking system on earth"

Everything indicates that it is only a
question of short time until the people
of Cuba and Porto Rico if treated fairly
will ask for annexation to the United
States. 1t is the natural thing for them
to do. The same thing would have been
true of the Philippines. Had there been
a desire on the part of the administration
for peaceful solution it might easily
have been accomplished on terms the
same as in the other islands mentioned.
We were the aggressors and for a pur,
pose. The var was wantonly provoked
in order that the military spirit might be
developed, larger debt contracted,
more bonds be issued, larger standing
army raised and favored ones make
greater steals on army contracts.

And now comes copperhead ex-Speaker
Thos. B. Reed, with the following:
81 have always observed that with in
dividuals the fear of humiliation is ex-
actly in proportion as they deserve it,
and l believe the same principle holds
good with nation and with a party.
Some people seem to be afraid that these
Filipinos will put tkeir tongues in their
cheeks at us. They have done that al
ready. They have watched our failure
as others have. don't know how long
1t will be before the American people get
tired of spending $50, 100000 year try
ing to conquer these people, but it does
not seem to me it will be very long. l
can conceive that freedom is Just as dear
to them as it is to us and that they will
fight for it Just as long"

Our New Story, SIN His Steps"

Our New Story, SIN His Steps"
Not since the days when Harriet
Beecher Stowe published Uncle Toms
Cabin, has there been story which oc-
casioned so much discussion as "In His
Steps" the first chapter of which will ap-
pear soon in the VOICE. Tell your
neighbors Of this. We have the entire
book in plates and it will appear in this
paper. The book was written by Kan
sas man, Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, of
Topeka, read to his audience by chapters
and then published. The first year it
sold at the rate of over thousand copies
daily. Three million copies were sold in
four months and the latest reports were
that twelve millions copies had been sold.
Everybody is talking about this wonder
ful story discussing and criticising it,
and we want the VOICE readers to have
the best that's going. The author prac-
tices what he breaches, and has declined
a $4,000 year salary to go east. The
royalty, or most Of it on the book is be-
ing expended in charity, and much of it
IN helping the "Tennesseetown" color
ed people of Topeka to learn to work
and live better lives. If millions of peo-
pie are buying and reading this great
work you ought to read a few chapters
to get in touch with what the literary
world is discussins.
