10 He Friend Of the Laboring Man7
The Democratic-fusion party try to
hoodwink the people into believing
that James B. Orman is the friend VI
the laboring class. Mr.. Orman is a
heavy employer Of labor; this we
concede. But does Mr.. Orman do
the right thing by his men? No, he
does not. Tney are not only COM
PEELED to work for low wages, but are
taxed with all sorts of assessments.
But does he pay his men? If he
does, then why was he sued Tuesday
night by two of his former employees
for back wages? He was sued and
now tries to plead the baby act by
laying the blame on his partner, who.
he claims, is alone responsible.
The labor element of Colorado has
already decreed that Mr.. Orman will
not be the next Governor.

the old Ben AGAIN Rings.

Kansas City, Kas., May 17.-When
President Lincoln proclaimed the free
dom OF the colored race, the news of
his proclamation was sounded for
twenty-four hours by the old Liberty
bell which at that time was hanging
in the belfry of the first church ever
erected in Wyandotte county. 1t was
the Baptist church at Bethel, Kas.
eleven miles from Kansas City, Kas.
After the ancient church became of
little service, its walls refusing to per-
NIT of further repair, the edifice was
torn down and the bell turned over to
the trustees of the church. For many
years it has been silent AID when it
was rung Sunday from the belfry of
the new Presbyterian church at Bethel
the occasion was marked with fitting
ceremonies, and many of the old set
tiers of that section of the country
drove for miles in order to be in at
tendance. Among the crowd which
filed the edifce to it's fullest capacity,
were several persons who heard the
historic bell ring out the proclamation
of President Lincoln. The bell is a
large one, weighing 1000 pounds.

A BOON IN STATE BANKS.
Small Banks Organizing Among
the Kansas Farmers.
WHAT PRUDENTIAL SAYS.

Topeka, May 21.-Kansas just now
is enjoying a bank boom. Banks are
being established at nearly every cross
roads. Within the past week the bank
commissioner has received applications
for ten new banks. Their proposed
capital ranges from S.. 900 to SOS, 600.
The towns from which the applications
are fled are: Ellsworth, Potter, Yates
Center, Luray. Ellis, Highland, For
mosa, Eskridge, Thayer and BelleviIle.
This is a good thing for Kansas, -
said Bank Commissioner BreidenthaL
1T is better to have lot of little
banks than few big ones scattered
over the state. These small banks are
always controlled by the conservative
element, and farmers generally own
the controlling interest. 1t gives the
people good facilities and furnishes
employment to many people"
So far only one state bank in the
state has gone into the national sys-
tenn since the passage of the currency
law by congress. The bank commits
sioner says that probably half dozen
will make the change, but not fifty or
sixty, as was claimed by the national
bank examiners of this state. The
bank which has nationalized is the
Citizens, OF Lyons.

Tine Charities Convention.

Topeka May Ex-Governor Stanley,
in welcoming the delegates to the ma

pressed the desire that the time would
come when politics would have nothing
to do with the state institutions, and
that whatever party should go up or
down the wards of the state who are
entitled to its most sacred care, should
never feel the difference. He thought
there should be a different system
about the administration of public
institutions everywhere, for the help
of the unfortunate rather than to sup
ply positions for politicians.
