Chairman Stubbs. Attention!

State Journal calls upon Chairman
Stubbs to screw UP his courage and
invite Tom Kelly to get OFF the ticket

State Journals suggestion
Decency and Honesty Before Party.
bingham New Leaf (Rep.): What
are honest, patriotic voters going to do
with the Republicans concerned in the
Comanche county bond deal? Fifteen
days before the bonds were thrned over
to the state school fund Tom Kelly,
state treasurer, paid the cashier of the
Interstate bank $123.000. in two checks
of $61, 500 each and the cashier turned
the bonds over to Kelly and returned
GODDARD his note. GODDARD collected
$636.93 from the state school fund on
accrued interest but there is no record
that the state treasury collected the
$S07.50 it was entitled to for loaning
GODDARD $123, 600 for 15 days.
The State Journal, which has ex-
posed the rotten DEAL has been sued
school fund commission for SIS 600 each.
The Journal has asked that the case be
tried before the election but it's request
will not be listened to by accused. The
Journal calls Kelly an embezzler be-
cause he has taken money out of the
state treasury to pay a private NQte
and Kelly talks libel suit. The Journal
reiterates the charges against him.
1t looks as if the accused will put off
the trial until after the election in or
der that the facts which would have
to be brought out cannot be used
against them. If the Journal is right,
and it claims to have evidence to sup
port every accusation, it should see its
course approved by the voters of Kan
sas. If it is wrongly accusing these
men, it should be made to pay the
damages they ask. And 1T is able to
accused than.
Voters should know the truth about
the entire transaction. A. j. Harwf, of
Atchison, says the statement OF the
school fund commission proves that the
investment is SO bad a national bank
would have to close its doors were it
guilty of a similar offer1se.
Governor Bailey was refused second
nomination because it was claimed his
administration was extravagant. Yet
time and developments are proving that
this accusation against him was only
made for political purposes. Coleman,
Dayhoff, Burrow and Kelly are openly
accused of wiIfully investing the state.
funds in bad paper and using the state
funds for unlawful purposes Yet to
say a word against them is being a trail
tor to the party. Decency and honest
men should always be placed before
party. If the Republican party has be-.
come so degraded that honest men can
not be found who will accept the party
tions then it is time to turn the
affairs over to the Democrats and see if
they have any honest men in their
party.

Kelly and State Account Don't Agree,
By proof readers error in the State
Journal yesterday t. t. Kelly in his
statement to the press was made to say:
Il am una BILE to account for every
bond and coupon that belongs to the
state since / have been state treasurer" )"
His statement read: 81 am able to ac-
count for every bond, etc" We will ad-
init that Kelly has trouble enough with
out being burdened with those of a
conscientious proof reader who will Oc-
casionally make a real error like this
one.
The whole state is fairly sizzling with

by the state accountant, part of which
shortages have been made good by
Richey, Kelly and Grimes.
The state never apparently has been
so stirred over matters as it is today
over the outrageous conduct of the
state treasury. The newspapers are
fairly boiling with indignation and
strong even for US to reprint We would
be called malicious as prosecutors may
be- The Items the State Journal copied
are nearly all from Republican papers.
The Democratic papers of course are
fairly bowling. They see their oppor-

tracts and the State Journal could
print about a page a day if it would:
Caught Twice Now.
Atchison Globe: We have been
hearing a great deal of the smart
ness of Tom Kelly. But he was not
smart enough to avoid being caught
in Miami county and at Topeka. Tom
kellys accounts as state treasurer
have been examined regularly every
year, and pronounced all right. After
each Examination the Kansas City
Journal and Topeka Capital chuckled,
and said his books showed a surplus
of ten cents. ''Ha! Ha!" they scream
ed. But all the time discrepancies
that are now admitted by Kelly him
self, existed. These examinations of
the state treasury, it is now certain,
do not amount to anything.

Stolen and Sneaked Back.


Emporia Gazette: The Gazette prints
Tom Kelly's statement today for two
reasons: First, because it cannot af-
ford to be unfair even to SO bad a
man as Mr.. Kelly, and thereby help
him; second, because it is about the
weakest thing that could be said in his
behalf. During the 60 days last past
nearly $4,000 have been sneaked back
to the treasury of the state of Kan
sas,j which had been stolen. This mon
ey was sneaked back after the state
accountant had discovered the short
age and had called Mr.. Kelly's atten-
state treasurer, who says he did not
steal any of the money which he ad-
mitS he returned, has left the treas
urer's Office with all the disgrace on
him that Kelly dared to put there.
Another draft for a thousand dollars
came slipping back under the cover of
an anonymous letter and under an
anonymous name.
had not been sent Tom Kelly would
have had to put up the money.
In view of these things, which de-
mand square-toed explanation, the
statement printed today talks up in
the air about the fact of the state hav
ing lost no money! When a thief
throws the family jewelry over the
back fence in the dead of night, to
stop prosecution, he should be sure
that there will be mo questions ask
ed In the case of Tom Kelly, he ex-
poets Kansas to receive this $4,000
which was sneaked back in the treas
ury after the accountant found it, with
no questions asked But Kansas is
asking questions. The question is this:
Who had the use of that money all
these years? That is a fair question,
considering the fact that the state
warrants were being stamped mot
paid for want of funds and the state
was paying interest on it's own debts
while this money was stolen. So long
he ia
might as we'll make a good job of it.

ALLEGED FORGERY.
Secretary Cortelyou's Name Attached
to Checks Here and in Boston.

A dispatch from Boston gives particulars
of the arrest in that city of man who
gave his name as Capt. William F. Mannix
on charge of having attempted to defraud
Gov. Bates by presenting check to which,
it is alleged, the name of Secretary Cortel-
you had been forged. The man under ar
rest is stated to have been implicated in
the passing of similar checks in this city
last week. The dispatch from Boston tell
ing of his operations there reads:
"A young man representing himself as
Capt William F. Mannix of the United
States 9th Regular Infantry, resigned, was
arrested in the executive chamber of the
state house today after he had failed in an
attempt to defraud Gov. Bates out OF sJO
by inducing him to cash worthless check.
Late this afternoon Mannix passed an
alleged worthless check for s25 upon John
E Breslin, proprietor of the Hampton
House. This check was drawn upon the
Columbia National Bank at Washington
and was signed in the name of Secretary
George B. Cortelyou. The man told Mr.
Breslin that he had an engagement with
Gov. Bates who was going to cash draft
of $50 for him. This statement was made
previous to his arrest. as the ponce were
waiting for Mannix when the latter called
upon the governor
Tonight Mannix confessed to the ponce
that the checks passed by him were Tor
geries and said that he was intoxicated al
the time they were made. He claimed to
be the proprietor of the Hennepin County
Herald, at Long Lake, Mimi"
Two checks to which the name of Secre-
tary Corteiyou had been forged were passed
in this city last Friday by woman VINO
did shopping at two stores One was pdsSse
at the shoe store of Snyder & Kidd, III
F street and the other at the store OF w.
H. McKnew, 933 Pennsylvania avenue one
check was for $12 and the other was 1or
sl25O Both were turned over to Capt
Boardman and he was given description
of the woman who passed them Inc
checks she presented were made payable
to Mrs Maude Conner, and she indorseo
them with that name. She was neauy
dressed in dark clothing and was probably
about thirty years old.
According to the information from Boston
no woman seems to have been there with
the man who is under arrest. Capt. Board
man has communicated with the Boston au-
thorities and told them of the two cheek
transactions in this city. He also gave
them description of the woman who
passed the checks.

CAPT. HARDINGs MISSION.
Goes to Philadelphia to Inspect Munic
ipal Building Plans.

Captain Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, in charge of mat
tiers connected with the erection of the new
municipal building for the District, went to
Philadelphia this morning to examine the
specifications for the foundation of the new
building, prepared by Architects Cope &
Stewardson of Philadelphia.
Captain Harding says he cannot state
definitely when the work on the new munich
pal building will commence, but that 1t will
probably not be before the latter part of
next March.
1t is expected the plans will be in such
shape as to permit the Commissioners to
advertise for bids for the construction OF
the foundations of the building about Feb
ruary Is. Separate plans for the structure
proper will be prepared and the contracts
for the founda lions and the building will be
awarded separately. The amount to be de-
voted to the construction of the municipal
building will be about $1.4O0,O0O.

likely that any new light can be thrown
upon the subject now.
The design. as prepared by Mr.. holland,
has thirteen columns representing the elev-
en- confederate states proper and Missouri
and Kentucky, which were represented in
the confederate congress The thirteen
columns give fourteen spaces, and the pres
ent design of the Davis monument contem-
plates that the coats of arms of the thir-
teen states and of Maryland shall be put
in these fourteen spaces. This is the form
and idea of the design, which has been
adopted by the board of directors of the
Jefferson Davis Monument Association and
approved by the late meeting Of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy Most well-in-
formed people think that it would be unwise
to change this design whether viewed from
historical tr other point of view. How
ever, there can be no doubt that the Mary
land committee will receive kind and con-
siderate attention if it comes before the
Monument Association to present its views.

These vessels bear great heat without

JEFFERSON DAVIS, MONUMENT.
Maryland Daughters Wish Their State
to Have a Column.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
The Maryland Daughters of the Confed-
eracy are still insistent that in the Jefferson
Davis monument there shall be, column
representing Maryland, in addition to the
thirteen columns standing for the states
that had members in the confederate senate
and house. These daughters argue that
Marylands devotion to the confederate
cause entities it to this distinction. and that
but for the heavy hand of the federal mill
tary forces which was laid upon the state,
it would have seeded. AS 1t was. it is
claimed that Maryland furnished 15.oOO
troops to the confederate army.
On the other hand, letters have appeared
in several papers in the south, arguing that
there should be but eleven columns on the
monument; that Kentucky and Missouri
should be omitted.
These questions have been discussed at
