County Ticket.
oowARDLY TRIoKERY.

This expression is hardly strong
enough to describe the acts of
the republican state central COM
mittee and the republican state
officers concerning the efforts to
have the state anti-fusion law
tested and the question decided
by the courts as to whether or
not the Populist ticket shall be
printed on the ballot.
The case was denied a hearing
in the Supreme Court, on the
ground that members of that
court were on the republican
ticket for reelection and there
fore disqualified from acting on
: the law. The case was then
taken before Judge Dale, Of
Wichita, and he set il for hearing
on Monday, the l 9th. An officer
from his court went to Topeka
Friday, the 10th, to eerve notice
on Secretary of State George E..
Clark that the case would be
heard on the 18th. But that
eowardly, tricky, servile tool of
the republican campaign mana
gers; state officer who is sup
q posed to be the servant of all
the people, sneaked away, hid
out and could not be found by
the court officer.
But before deserting his Office
Q sliking away like a contemplate
poltroon-he had the tickets
certified to the county clerks OF
the various counties, arranging
the ballot in such a way as to
confuse the voters as much as
possible.
What are these republican
tricksters afraid of? Why could
they not be manly and square,
g and let their despicable partizan
law have an investigation by
the courts? Shame upon such
peanut politics! 1t is a shame
upon the state; another black,
murky blot upon Kansas repub-
licanism, and one that every
honest voter ought to help wi pc
out by casting. his vote against
the candidates representing such
a corrupt, lawless ring.
Every democrat and populist
and every manly, fair minded re-
publican ought to denounce
such cowardice in laundering
tones, and the ticket which by
such trickery is sought to be
elected should be showed under
on election day by an over
whelming majority.
You say you have an anti-fu
sion law, but you DARE NOT put
it to the legal test.

gentlemen, and while his person

BRO. TowNsLEY, of the Tribune,
got exceeding funny last week.
The good deacon has been
strangely meek of late-sort Of
overshadowed by a stronger
mind at the helm in the Tribune
office. But last week he cut
loose from the apron strings and
said "Old girl, I've got to get
into the shafts again and have a
whiri at the business of saving
the nation by ridiculing Stoke
[ have no argument to make
that would be deuce high on any
of the hands he holds against
my political creed; but l must
get after him in some way" So
he ''took his pen in hand" !"
wrapped his legs around the
table leg two Or three times and
wrote ''Stoke's soliloquy." That
issue of the Tribune really look
ed like old times. But after
Townsley had gone and done it
he felt that seal brown taste in
his mouth that he always feels
after he has been out with s'the
boys" for a-night and overload
ed his system with the stuff that
exhilerates. Probably we are
giving him away by limiting that
the good deacon would do such
a naughty thing; you would not
suspect to hear him talk out in
meetin', telling the Sunday school
children how naughty all such
indulgences are; but he is a sly
old duck, and his tiings ofsporty
indulgences are like his political
workings-very shady. How
ever, hypocritical professions OF
religion and unwarranted mis-
representation of his neighbors
seems to be the judges long
suit, and he will probably play
them to the end, Or until the
fires that burn eternal shall warp
his little soul as earthly dissipa-
tions have warped the body.

THE E K MOSES NERO. CO
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1902-01-03
COURAGE TO SPEAK.

The effort to discredit a mans Re-
on account of an accept
ance to speak at a gathering called to
endorse the Presidents attitude to-
ward Hawaii is an exhibition of the
beautiful insularity of some political
views in Hawaii. The charge Is made
that regular Republicans are asked to
speak at the Home Rule meeting in
order that the authorities in Washing
ton may he misled. Granting that this
might be true It is a severe reflection
upon the good sense of Washington au-
thorities to credit them with being so
weak and lacking in political insight
as to be blinded by such a plan. A
gathering of citizens to endorse the
Presidents attitude toward Hawaii will
be taken in Washington for just what
4 Is WORKMAN expression of good will
1t can make no difference what party
calls the meeting or who presides.
ThurstOn's idea seems to be that Mark
Hanna, for instance, would spurn the
idea of speaking at a meeting Of Popu-
lists or Democrats or Silver Republic
cans called for the purpose of endors-
ing President Rooseyelt's message to
Congress. Yet Thurston knows full
we'll how utterly false are his copten-
tions. He believes the only place for
endorsing Roosevelt Is at a small meet
ing Of the elect or possibly at the ses-
sion of a political Sunday school. 1t is
tho same old story neither Thurston
nor his gang will do anything but bit
tcrly antagonize any measures or any
men seeking to draw voters to the Re-
publican. party and working for a
peaceful amalgamation of political
forces. There is no law and no Gus
tom requiring any man to speak al
public meetings. but he who fears to
speak because his words or acts may
be misinterpreted is a moral coward
He gains no prestige in Washington
nor among his fellow men.

THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY

NJ. White has sent to the Car the
following telegram:
On May 10, 1891, your Majesty, at
Nladivostok, turned with your own
hand the first sod of the Great Siber.
ian Railway. Today, on the anniver-
sary OF your accession to the throne
the East Aslatic Railway line is com.
rleted. venture to express to your
Majesty from the bottom Of my heart
my loyal cOngratulation on this his.
toric event. With the laying of the
rails for distance of 2400 versts, from
the Transbaikal territory to Vladivos-
tok and Port Arthur, our enterprise In
Manchuria is practically, though not
entirely, concluded. Notwithstanding
exceptionally difiicult conditions and
the destruction OF large portion OF
the line last year, temporary traffic can,
from today, be carried on along the
whole system. | hope that within two
years hence all the remaining work ia
be done will he completed and that the
railway will be opened for permanent
regular traffic"
A correspondent writes to us: 81
have just returned from Vladivostok
and have passed over the whole route
In the permanent track there are
many gaps; the large bridges, like
those over the Sungari and Nonni, are
not completed, for some even thu
caissons are not yet down; the tire,
tunnels are scarcely commenced, tina
in the Khngan has been driven 1Sl
yards only out Of nearly 1000 required
and in many places the track is no
raised to the required level. A sub
sidiary track has been made for tn
conveyance of railway material, but OIL
this there is little attempt at levelling
and the metals are not even ballasted
consequently, the construction train
leave the rails frequently; the TEN
porary bridges are not all disable, an
several will certainly disappear whe
the thaw comes In the spring. Lon
