The Prosperity of Protection Times
Has Benefited Even MIR. hryan.
Even Mr.. Bryan's mendacious nerve
was not equal TO making the ste;ement
that the Democratic party would be
satisfied TO take only the votes of those
who had no taste of the prosperity OF
the Mckinley and protection admins
tration. That would mean TO turn
over all the voters of the country TO the
Republican party. No; what the Ne
braska leader said was. that he would
be satisfied with the votes of all those
who had not had their share" of our
present national prosperity. Mr.. Bry
an has the demagogue's unerring
knowledge of how to catch uuthinking
men. No matter how prosperous some
men are, they never think that they
have their share of things or, by any
means, get what they deserve. These
are the ,pen when Bryan hopes TO
catch. If he had said that he was will
Ing thai every man who had been pros
porous during the last four years
should vote for Mckinley he would
nave had to vote that way himself
along with every one else. For protec-
ton prosperity seems to have touched
even the Boy Orator himself. Mr..
Bryan's personal property, according
to his own report, made up for the tax
assessor, has Increased in value during
the last four years from few hun
dreds to more than four thousand dol
lars. Bryan will. nevertheless, with
out doubt vote for himself, probaF'r
on the basis that this increase does not
represent his share of Mckinley pros
perity. Those of his fellow country
men who think of his false predictions,
his unsound theories and his general
lack of balance and steadiness. and
who are at loss to discover any SER
vices worthy of recompense which
have been performed for the world by
Mr.. Bryan during the last four years,
will probably think otherwise.

How to Make Prosneritv Tempor.

How to Make Prosperity Temporary.
Prosperity is only temporary" says
Mr.. Bryan. The wish is father to the
thought. An interruption TO the good
times which the election of William
Mckinley brought to the country would
be the most fortunate thing that could
happen to Mr. Bryan A panic would
be regarded by him, and rightly, too,
as the greatest of conceivable luck.
Ruin, disaster and Indebtedness would
be a godsend to the Popocrat candidate.
Yes; prosperity would indeed be tenn
porary if Mr.. Bryan could make it so.
But. fortunately, he possesses no such
power. Prosperity will continue in
spite OF him-that is. unless he should
be elected President of the United
States. Then it would be temporary
extremely SO.

When the roar and turmoil of Dusi-

During the summer season, from May
until October. a regiment of night
workers is employ ed on the downtown
streets every night. Counting the city
gang of street repairers and the cor
poration gangs, there are probably not
less than 200 E.awny laborers on the
downtown streets every evening. Some
times nearly the whole force is EN-
ployed on rush job in a single thor
oughfare. and at other times it is scat
tered over dozen streets. But the
street work never ceases while the rest
of the city is sleeping.

ON A DEMURRER.
The Lusk Damage Suit Against the City Of
Caldwell is Knocked Out.

Judge Mcbride yesterday granted a
demurrer to the petition filed by Rosa
Lusk against the city OF Caldwell 20
recover $40 0JO for the death of her
husband.
This case has gained state reputa-
ton, and so far as known was the first
one OF us kind ever brought in Kan
sas. John Lusk was an emp,oye OF a
hardware store at Caldwell. he was
in the habit Of going on periodical
sprees. In the spring Of 1899 he went
on one OF these sprees, and while in-
tOxicated, fell and received injuries
from which he died. Mrs. LuSk sued
the city for $4,000 damages, alleging
that her husband bought his whisky
in a joint which was licensed and
protected by the city of Caldwell.
After this suit was fled, similar suits
sprung up in various parts Of the
state. They are all pending, awaiting
the decision OF the case in Sumner
county.
Judge Mcbride held that city was
not responsible for the illegal acts OF
its officers and that allowing the sa-
looms to run openly was a violation OF
the LIQUOR law.

The Commercial Club Takes Steps to Secure
the Railroad.

The Commercial club held a meeting
at the Office Of Rem & Newbold lasI.
night and discussed the question of
securing the Mexico & Orient rail-
road, tue proposed line from Kansas
City TO TOpolobampO. There is a
general unanimity of opinion that the
road Will be built. In the event il is
Quilt IL Will rapidly become one OF
Tue most Important lines in the west.
Inc Importance Of having the road
run through Sumner county and touch
wellington, is plain. The proposed
route Is through Sedgwick county and
west 10 KlOwa, where il will enter
Oklahoma. II Wellington and Sum.
ner county can influence Mr.. Stillwell
Tue road will run from Wichita via
Wellington and enter Oklahoma at
caldwell.
The Commercial club was very en-
thuslastic last night, and after ascer-
tanning II the road can be secured, the
proper effort will be maze to raise the
necessary bonus. One man is ready to
give $500 to the project, and another
is ready to give $1,000. A committee
composed OF Geo. H. Hunter, Ed It.
Hackney and Mayor S. P. Kramer
was appointed 10 60 to Kansas City
and interview Mr.. Stillwell. Before
going, however, the committee will
have Tom Richardson write to Mr..
Stlllwell and ascertain his feelings in
the matter. The road is evidently
after bonuses, and if the proper effort
is made Wellington will probably
secure 1t. Agents for the road have
asked Sedgwick county to donate
$1,000 per mile. At that rate, it will
require about S65, 900 to pull the road
through Sumner county. wellington
