RESULT or THE "GRAFTERs" Re-
LIEF BILL.

The Kansas state treasury
has s'gone broke today. From
now till January 1st all warrants
will be stamped sNot paid for
want of funds" They will. be
paid at the window however,
with money furnished by the five
banks of Topeka. Theowarra1ts
will hold them until the state
redeems them. The warrants viii
draw Z per cent interest.
1t is estimated that the deficit
by the first of the new year will
reach 100000. Then the
state taxes will come in, and for
a few months the general revenue
fund will be flush. But the pay
ment ofthe outstanding war
rants will make such a hole In
the fund that it will be drained
again by April 1st, just about
the time the Republicans will be
getting ready to hold their state
convention. The deficit will be
in the neighborhood> of $780,
600, to be explained in the cam
paign next fall. A third deficit
will come shortly after the cleo
tion, which will run the total up
to nearly half million dollars.
The embarrassment which con-
fronts the Stanley administrae
tion was caused by the extrava-
gance of the last legislature
About forty high priced new
Offices were created beside a lot
of small ones. Every institu-4
tion in the state was given an
increased appropriation. AL
the gratis introduced by .Repub-
lican politicians were worked
through, including the payment
of $4,000 in Quantrell raid
.'bonds" which had been re-
pudiated by every legislature for.
thirty years. The Quantrell
raid s'paper' was purchased for
2 cents on the dollar by halfoa
dozen statesmen who had. no
difficulty in securing the neces-
sary appropriation. There is
scarcely a Republican of note in
the state whose name does not
appear in the miscellaneous ap-
preparation bill. This measure
was known during the session as
the 3sgrafters relief bill.
When the managers Of thel
legislature found that they had
appropriated nearly $4,000, ,O00.|
they were badly frightened
After several conferences it was
decided that it would be better
to have a deficiency for the next
legislature, therefore, made a
tax levy with the full knowlege
that it would not bring in
enough money to save the state
embarrassment of a depleted
treasury.-Topeka Advocate. 4

, FOR several months now the
Joints have run in Great Bend
without paying any fines what
ever, or being under. any restric-
tiOns, with the result that some
of the habitues thereof as we'll as
some proprietors or managers,
have become exceedingly reck-
less and uncaring for public
decency. That is a natural Sc
quenee to free and unrestricted
traffic in liquors. 1t is what has
happened heretofore when the
anti-fine clement has had it's
way, and what will continue to
happen SO long as the city
authorities make no effort to
CONTROL the places The DEMO
GRAFT desires to protest against
the rough language, the loud
broiling, the gambling and slug
ging that is reported to take
place in some of the joints-not
all of them. And if there is not
change in the manner of con-
Quoting some of those. places we
shall feel it our duty to the pub
lie, to our wife and DAUGHTERS, to
openly name such places and to
insist that they be suppressed.
We have always contended, and
still contend, that the only way
they can be properly regulated
is by assessing a license Tin the
shape Of a monthly fine) and
driving irresponsible people out
of the business. Putting no re-
strictions on them whatever will
not make the dealers act decent.
but instead will induce the ad-
edition of all sorts of gratis and
disrepntable practices.

instructions how to mark a

Mr.. BROWN s friends are max

friends should remember this
and get out all the thinner

Mr. thinner has made a good
commissioner and is worthy of a
second term, and there is there
fore every reason why he should
be reelected. The result of the
commissioner election smay have
much to do in shaping future
matters for this county; there
fore every democrat and popu-

out to the polls next Tuesday.

Senator Sicber has not the least

elected" said one of his friends today,
discussing the recent activity of the
Ohio Anti Saloon League. He is not at
all worried by the fight that is being
made against him by the Anti-Sa1oon
League. He will have the solid sup
port of the Summit county delega,
ton, and has sufficient pledges of sup.
port from the other counties to carry
him through. His friends are in the
majority OH the Senatorial commit
tee, and they will provide for the Sc

The Democrat was informed today
that Prof. S. l.. Orth had been men

been averse to accepting it had there
been chance for him. 1t was learn.
ed that an Akron Republican had been

Sieber there was of such nature as
to warrant another Summit county
