The two following dispatches
appeared in the newspapers of the
country under the same date:
"New York.-The United States
army transport Fitzpatrick passed
the bar and steamed beneath the
shadow of the statue of Liberty to

brought back to their own country
the bodies of 1902 soldiers, officers
and men, who died doing their
duty in the bullet-swept jungles
and the fever-laden swamps of the

there is the greatest need of men
for infantry service in the tropics"
The Des Moines NeWs says: "These

Mr.. SUMMERS, of the Hartville
Democrat, lies in asking this ques-
ton: "Why in Sam Hill are you
giving the thieves preference for
office" Is he the same A. j. Sum-
mers to whom the following docu-
ment relates? find it going the
rounds of the Southeast press, and
those who claim to have seen the
original say that both A. j. Sum-
mers' and G. R. Norman's names
are signed to it. Is it a forgery?
I'd like to know; for if it isn't,
then l can truthfully and enthu-
siastically announce that there is
one unworthy seeker after Office
whom Ihave not supported, do not
and will not support. Here is the
alleged document aforesaid:
"This agreement, made and
entered into this date, between DR..
G.. r. Norman and A. j. Summers,
both candidates for the Democratic
nomination for State Senator in
the 22d Senatorial District of Mis-
souri,.
'It is hereby agreed that DR.. G.
Norman is to have second instruc-
ton from Texas county, April 10,
1902. Said Summers is to have
S25 and then on May "a, 1902, the
said Summers is to throw his
strength to Norman to give him
the nomination, and on Norman
receiving the nomination, the said
Norman is to pay said Summers
500, and then when said Norman
is placed upon the licked a IS the
regular nominee he is to pay said
Summers S75 more, making in all
$500 said Norman is to pay to said
Summers. Also, said Norman, is
if elected, to give said Summers as
good a position in the Senate as he
has at his disposal"
Isn't it refreshing to hear a man
who has not denied signing such
an agreement talking about purity
in politics? About the giving and
taking of money in unlawful trans
actions? Hasn't he the "gall' OF
Satan himself to insinuate that his
neighbor is governed by the i'm
proper motives? or that he is "giv-
ing the thieves preference for
Officer" One curious phase OF
human nature lies in the fact that
he who himself hath offended is
first to join in the cry of "stop
thief" This Folk craze has de-
veloped several instances.

BOND FOR CURRENT Ex-
PENsES.

At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell, the city attorney was instructed to
prepare an act to be presented to the
legislature authorizing the city of To-
peka to issue not to exceed $40 900 in
bonds to pay off the floating indebted
ness.
It is very unfortunate that the bond.
ed Indebtedness of the city should be
increased It is also unfortunate that
the city should be the victim OF such
extravaganza that it is continually vio-
lating the law by Issuing warrants to
exceed the cash in the treasury avail
able for current expenses. Of the two
evils the city council is probably try
ing to choose the lesser, and it certain
ly requires some courage to vote to
burden the city with more bonds when
the sentiment of Topeka people with
regard to increasing the bonded in
debtedness Is pretty well known.
The financial affairs of Topeka have
been badly mismanaged. During
Mayor Parker's administration the first
attempt at retrenchment since the de
felt commenced has been attempted.
Mayor Parker has succeeded in spite
Of many heavy extra expenses, such as
the aerial truck and equipment, the city
park sewer and the new city pest
house, in cutting down the annual de-
felt very materially. But nothing will
be saved this year to apply on the old
debt contracted during the Hughes
regime. and previous administrations.
This is the situation which the city
council deems is a sufficient warrant
for issuing bonds to take UP the float
ing debt. Experience under Mayor
IL, 49,
that in spite Of a mayors determine
ton to save money, nothing can be
accomplished unless the councilmen CO.
operate. It is very difficult to secure
the cooperation of u separate and dis
tinct individuals who happen to be
collected in one body called a city
council.
There is grave danger lest the pres
ent bond issue shall prove to be only
temporary means of relief; lest the
city council is simply taking this way
of avoiding the provisions of the law
which prohibits the city from levying
more than. u mills for current ex-
penses. The proposed bond issue is
virtually nothing but a rounda bout
way of increasing the levy for current
expenses. Instead of appearing as a
fraction of one mill additional on the
general revenue or general improve
ment funds. it will appear in next
years tax levy as q fraction of one
mill additional on the interest and
sinking fund. There is nothing to pre-
vent the city council continuing to run
the city into debt and pay out more
money than the city has. except a
strict enforcement Of that law which
absolutely prohibits the council from
issuing warrants for more money than
it has. To keep the credit of the city
good. the city council will then have to
keep within the $4,000 a year which
is available for the current expenses of
the city Rovernuenf.

TIE STATEHOOD BIZ.

In one of those exceedingly timely
and interesting articles in the Satur-
day Evening Post on Men and Meas
ures" at Washington Charles Emory
Smith has this to say about the pro
posed admission of the four new states
covered by the Omnibus Statehood bill:
THE only issue of the session thus
far has been the Omnibus Statehood
bill 1t was the last gasp of the long
session and it is the first legacy of the
short session. The house passed it last
year without any consideration, doubt
less assuming that it would be buried
in the senate, and in the senate it
arouses one of the closest and sfarpest
fights ? of years. The struggle is for
and against the admission Of each of
the remaining territories, Arizona, New
Mexico. Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as separate states. The antagonists of
the scheme oppose the admission Of
Arizona and New Mexico, and favor
uniting Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and admitting them as one state.
Senator Quay is the leader of the
Omnibus forces, and he leads with
characteristic boldness and audacity
He is fun of nerve. fertility and re-
source. If he were reader in debate,
with the accessories of parliamentary
equipment, he would be a powerful
leader. But he is a strong partisan
chief, and he makes up in part for the
lack Of parliamentary dexterity and de-
batting facility by his force and his
adroitness in general management. The
battle columns are drawn, not entirely
but nearly, ,along party lines. The
great body of the Republican senators
and all of the recognized strong men,
except Quay and Foraker, are against
the Omnibus bill. Behind Quay are a
few struggling senators from the
Rockies and the bulk of the Democrats.
Senator Quay has thrown himself
into the fight with all his aggressive
energy and determination. He wages
the battle much as he waged the tariff
fight, in which he coolly and calmly
brought forth his barrel of inexhausti-
bic manuscript whenever he wanted a
concession or objected to a rate. and
proceeded complacently to read away
until his adversaries in sheer despera-
it0n yielded as the price of relief. He
is a warrior who uses every weapon. A
letter turns up in which he advises that
Arizona shall go Democratic in order to
influence the Democratic senators, and
he sheds it as a duck sheds rain. The
point is made that his particular friends
have interests to be promoted. and he
answers. that it is his pleasure to serve
his friends. That is a. kind of warfare
which it is hard to combat.
The leadership of the opponents of
the Omnibus bill devolves on Senator
BeveSidge as chairman of the commit
