A WORD ABOUT THE TICKET.

In recent issue OF the ST. Francis
Eagle, George Lawless sums up the
reasons why the opposition to the re-
publican party should vote together
this year in the following able editor.
ial:
At the head of this column we pub
lish the names of the candidates nom
mated for state Offices by the neople's
party and democratic conventions.
1t is. perhaps, the cleanest, strongest,
best, most representative ticket that
has ever been nominated in the state
of Kansas. Every candidate is an
old resident of the state, and all are
honored and highly respected in their
respective communities by men OF all
parties, and they have no ''boss.'
The names are published under the
head, Democratic Ticket" for the
reason that in all human probability
they will appear under that head on
the official ballot. Under the opera
tion of the anti-fusion law enacted by
the late republican legislature the
names can appear on the ballot but
once, and as the democrats held the
first convention and filed then certif-
icate of nomination first, it is nearly
certain that the ticket will appear on
the official ballot as indicated
With the single exception of 1894
the populists and democrats have
fused in Kansas in every election for
! the past twelve years. and the prop
ositions submitted to the Independent
! voters of the state this year differs In
no respect from previous elections ex

REPUBLICAN ANNULLMENT.
Some Good Laws that Have Been
Ignored by the Republicans.


Ignored by the Republicans.
The ..'Farrelly" antitrust law has
withstood the test of the courts, only
to be defeated by the iuaction of re-
publican officials.
The ''Bush'' corporation law,
under which thousands of dollar s
should have been turned into the
treasury, has been almost absolutely 5
ignored by the state administration.
There are to-day enough fees and
penalties due under this law from the
corporations doing business in Kan
sas, to run the state for two years
yet not one step is being taken to col
lect the money.
The Breidenthal banking law has
been ignored in many OF its provis'
ions.
The "Stryker" state uniform text
book law has been butchered by the
republican state textbook commits
sion.
The McNall insurance laws have
been dead letters since McNall lef
the insurance department..
The law protecting stock shippers
from the robbery of stock yards cor
porations has been declared uncon
stitutional by republican court.
The taxation laws of the state art
amply sufficient to do justice to al
alike, but have become very no
bed of official corruption under re
publican misrule.
The laws regulating express, tele
graph and telephone companies Ii,
unenforced upon the statute books
The people of the state cannot get th
advantage of the reduction State
house officials send kilograms in Kan
sas, however, at Ii cents, as provides
by the law. while the people pay 2
cents and 40 cents for similar tele
grams.
The state grain and inspection de
partment, organized by fusionists, ha
become mere bureau to pay smal
debts to petty politicians of the repuh
lican party.

RAILROAD TAXATION.
A Comparison of the Railroads OF
Kansas and rlissourl.

Fusionists are hereby warned that
our platform, ITO Do Right, f" will
not admit of vilifying individuals.
The opposition seek TO divert atten-
tion from the real issue by abusing
our candidates, hoping thereby to
ensnare our people into denying false
assertions that will be quickly re-
newed when one is answered; SO that
our campaign will be one OF negation
and denial.
No apology is needed for any can
didate on our ticket. No one OF them
sought the Office to which he was NOM
mated; it came to him through two
great conventions of representative
men who had the. whole state from
which to select their nominees. No
man needs greater endorsements,
Our campaign is one of principle.
We are either right or wrong. The
people of the state are the jury to de-
eide the case, and our duty lies in
presenting facts backed by figures, Sc
that the voters of the state may reach
an Intelligent conclusion.
We ask the people of the state tc
join us in making the great corpora
tions of the state pay their just share
of the taxes in the same proportion
as is paid by the farmer and the home
owner. We want Kansas people to
derive the game benefits from its cor
porations as is enjoyed in New York,
Indiana and Missouri. In doing this
it will make difference of about S2t
each year for each voter in the state,
or about seven million dollars pei
year: or. where you now pay SloS
taxes you will then pay $50 taxes, OF
where you now pay $40 taxes yot
will then pay So taxes.
How it can be done may be deter
mined from the statements in thi'

to their further attempts at law MAX
ing. We claim that texcepting the
old soldier law the interests profiting
by non-enforcenent of the laws are
all outside the state, and the officers
betray the people for the cousidera-
tion paid by the outsider. When the
people see the trusts, corporations
and all that is inimlcal To their in
terests arrayed in solid phalanx with
the bosses, how is it possible for
them to expect anything but a stone
when they ask for bread?
WHY VOTE ITO DO RIGHT?
The fusiopists are asking election
because they stand for enforcing the
tax law against corporations. This
means several million dollars a year
to the people. They also stand for
the enforcement of the trust law, the
gambling law, the prohibitory law
aud the old soldier law. The repub-
lican bosses demand reelection be-
cause of their open and fragrant
violation of law. Their platform
strongly endorses the state admins
tration, and is otherwise silent on all
state issues.
WHO CHAMPIONS THE CORPORATIONS?
The corporations cracked the whip
of authority and each devotee in the
state rushed to the defense OF their
corporate idol whose agents were de-
frauding the people OF the state out
of several million dollars tax each
year. They justified their violations
of the trust law, the gambling law,
the prohibitory law and the old sol
dier law by proclaiming through their
governor, in the Kansas City Jour
nal, August 9, "that photograph OF
the old soldiers appointed by Mayor
Craddock would bring good price
as curiosity" The governor men,
tions IS soldiers he has appointed to
places out Of 1900 appointments at his
disposal.
THE GOV EthNOh - Little Z hhc.'
The governor further says: "Mr.
Craddock has chief of police under
his control and they should enforce
the gambling and prohibitory laws. :"
The governor knows that the "Hur-
reIl" law took the power from the
city officials and vested it in the
county attorney, who should act when
complaint was made by any citizen.
The Wyand otte county attorney is a
republican. Complaints made to him
to enforce the law were pigeon-h oled.
The Kansas City, kans.. admins
tration arrested and fined gamblers
in it's police court. The cases were
appealed, and the republican city at
torney dismissed them at the cost of

HOW ABOUT KANSAS?

Secretary of State of Missouri.
HOW ABOUT KANSAS?
Republican Kansas assesses the
same roads (main lines for $40, 22I
per mile less than democratic Mis-
souri,. 1t makes difference in as
sessed value against Kansas of
(counting mileagel about S90.O .OOO, 600,
which on ) per cent. pasis of taxa
tion would make 81, zoo, 900 against
Kansas, or one third of the total tax
paid to the state in 1901. This S4. $780,
600 is only part of the price paid by
the people of Kansas for indulging in
the luxury of boss rule.
DUST IN THE TAXPAYERS EYES.
The Topeka Capital editorially
says: Railways pay II per cent. of
the Kansas tax and only per cent. of
the Missouri tax"
The Mail and Breeze of August %
says the railways of Kansas pay II
per cent. of Kansas taxes, and Mis-
souri, roads only per cent. of Mis-
sour taxes. All the small republican
The statement is true. 1t is also true
that Kansas is only the thirteenth
state in wealth, and Missouri is the
fourth state In wealth: hence it follows
that the railway tax paid in Kansas
in relation to the total Kansas taxes
,s a greater percentage than the rail
way tax in Missouri is to the total
Missouri taxes.
JUST AS AN ILLUSTRATION.
Say that Brown was q rich man in
Topeka who paid taxes in that town
that equalled II per cent. of the total
taxes paid in Topeka. Let Brown
move to the city of ST. Louis, Mo-,
where he would pay exactly the same
amount OF taxes as he paid in Topeka,
the taxes he would pay in ST. Louis
would be a very small percentage of
the total taxes collected by the city of
ST. Louis because ST. Louis collected
a vastly larger amount of taxes than
the town Of Topeka. In fact, this is
only one of the thin, buncombe argu
ments used by the republican mana
gers in defense of the corporations.
MORE WEAK ARGUMENTS.
The other weak. place in their argu-
ment is, that Kansas has nearly two
thousand miles more railways than
Missouri. yet Missouri, with the lesser
mileage, assesses for $40, O00, 900 more
than Kansas. They can't plead that
Missouri is a better country than
Kansas, for Kansas is the second
agricultural state in the Union, and
agricultural products make profitable
| railway service.
AS quoted from the Topeka Capital,
the Kansas railways all lie in pro
ductive country. Why cannot Kan
sas have benefits in taxation enjoyed
| by her neighbors? If Kansas rail-
ways we're assessed the same as Mis-
souri, railways, it would make a diff
ference of $13 for each Kansasvoter,
aud $3 for each inhabitant, at the
present rate of taxation in Kansas.
| Colorado has assessed the Santa Fe
main line for taxes at $lS,O5k. 68 per
mile. according to the Topeka Herald,
August %, 1902. Poor, boss-ridden
Kansas! None are so blind as those
who won't see.

DEATH OF CECIL RHODES.
Millions and Empires Passed Away
at Cape Town.

Cape Town, March 27.-Cecil Rhodes
died peacefully at 5:57 p. m. He slept
during the afternoon, but his breath
ing became more difficult and his
strength perceptibly diminished until
he passed away.
His death came as no great sur
prise. Whether it was due to his ex-
periences during the long siege of
Kimberly or the accumulated ankle
ties regarding the war in South AZ
RIGA with its accompanying change of
public feeling in England towards
him, there is no doubt he was almost
completely broken down within the
last two years. Even his appearance
changed. His once finely chiselled
face had become bloated and his al
ways huge frame filled out until he
became so stout as to make walking
a matter of difficulty. Except that
he was more irritable and more die
tatorial, there was no outward
change in his method of handling
men, millions and empires.

MILLERs' GIGANTIC COMBINE.
Federation of All State Associations Eject
ed with Capital of 100000, 900
Not to Control Prices.

Chicago, March 27.-The final steps
in the formation of the National Mil
lers' federation, representing a total
capital of $500, 600, 900, and an annual
output of 100000 barrels, were
taken at meeting held here Wednes-
day. The federation is the national
organization of the various state as
sociations. Barney y. Eckert, of
Chicago, is president. H. H. Hackney,
of Kansas, is one of the directors.
The first annual meeting will be held
in Chicago June IL, 1902. President
Eckert declared that the federation
was not a combination for the con-
troll of prices, but for the purpose of
furthering mutual interests and cor
recting abuses which he said had
grown up during the past 20 years.
He declared that the new federation
should endeavor to extend the -four
market by diplomatic commercial rec
iprocity treaties or otherwise.

Topeka, Kan, March 25.-Aifss
Blanche Boise, a protege of Mrs. Ma
ton, horsewhipped Mayor Parker in
his Office at the city building Monday
morning about nine o'clock Three
times she slashed the mayor and then
he sprang at her, gripped her by the
throat, choked her, tore the rawhide
out of her hand and pushed her into
the hall. AS Miss Boise was thrust out
of the office by Mayor Parker, she ex-
claimed: THANK God. I've done it!
I've horsewhipped you and now I'm
going to horsewhip the governor
Before beginning her horsewhip-
ping Miss Boise gave the mayor Sc
we're scolding and accused him of be-
ing responsible for the fact that the
joints are running openly in Topeka
and for the murder which was re-
Gently committee in Roy Daniels sa-
loon. She then pulled the horsewhip
from the folds of her dress and be-
fore the mayor knew what had hap
pened she struck him three times
across the head and shoulders. Miss
Boise is a nurse by profession. She
is about 35 years of age and is quite
a handsome woman.

LONDON ONLY HOPES.
Fear Expressed That SchaIk-Burger Does
Not Represent ehtInS Beers
in the Field.

London, March 25.-The Associated
press has good reason to believe that
Lord Kitchener, in his interview with
Mr.. Schalk-Burger, agreed to with
draw the Punishment proclamation
issued in September if Gen. Dewet and
the other Boer leaders surrender.
There is little disposition in Lon
don to regard the news of the Boer
governments visit to Pretoria any
too hopefully. Official circles express
doubts of the ability of Acting Presi-
dent Schalk-Burger and the other
civilian leaders of the Beers to in
duce such men as Gen. Dewet and De-
larey to surrender. Possibly they
think the representatives of the
Transvaal government are DESTROYS of
suing for peace, but there is nothing
to show that they have any authority
to impose submission on the COM
manders in the field.

FOR A NEW DYNASTY.
Object of the Extensive Rebellion In China
Is to Reach PekIn and Overthrow
the Present Regime.

Victoria, B. c., March 26.-Marcus
c. Hill, a Yokohama merchant, who
arrived on the steamer Kaga Maru, is
said to be carrying orders to New
York for arms and ammunition for
the rebels in southern China. Mr..
Hill, in an interview, says that if the
cable reports of the capture of six
cities by the rebels are correct, the
movement, which is under DR.. Sun
yatsen, will be successful. Before
leaving for America Mr.. Hill saw the
rebel leader and was told-by him that
$4,000 troops were ready to join the
rebellion and would bring with them
modern arms and ammunition. Re-
cruits, he says, are focking to the
rebel standard and their hope is to
reach the city of Canton. Here they
expect to get sufficient ammunition
and arms and treasure to carry on
the rebellion, which will eventually
result in the overthrow of the reign
ing power in China. DR.. Sunyatsen
believes the time opportune for the
rebellion. However, the rebels, it is
said, will not modest foreigners. The
whole movement is to accomplish
the overthrow of the present dynasty.

HANGED By A MOB.
". H. Wallace, Negro Sleeping Car POr-
ter. Had BrutslIy Assaulted An Aged
Woman Passenger at La Junte.

Pueblo, Col, March ga special
to the Chieftain from La Junta says:
W. H, Wallace, a negro sleeping car
porter, was lynched at eight o'clock
last night in corner of the court
house square, being hung to an cleo
trio light pole by a bowling mob of
1000 people, who had been wildly
hunting for him all day. After the
hanging the body of the negro was
riddled with bullets. Wallace had
been kept out of town all day by
Sheriff Farr in an attempt to save
him from the mob. The prisoner
made no resistance to the lynching
and died protesting his innocence.
Mrs. Henrietta II. Miller, a gray
haired woman, aged 81, going from
Los Angeles, Cal, to Denver, to visit
relatives, was brutally assaulted in
the Santa Fe railroad yards here
Monday night by negro porter on
Pullman car running between Den
yer and LaJunta.
Sheriff Farr said last night that
Wallace steadfastly maintained his
innocence, but the police declare that
when they arrested him in his car
there was blood and gray hairs on
his clothing and other evidence which
man.
Wallace is said to have come here
from Sedalia, Mo-, and had been en-
ployed by the railroad company for
several years.
