STATE GOT OFF EASY.
Pennsylvania Might Have Been Rob-
bed of Much More.

Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 1.-THE trial
of the capitol conspiracy case was re-
sumed today. Following the prece-
dent of his associates in their opening
speeches for the defense, counsel for
former superintendent of Grounds
Shumaker. laid all responsibility for
alleged irregularities in connection
with the furnishing of the capitol on
Joseph M. Huston. the architect. Fol-
lowing the argument the defense began
calling experts to refute the testimony
of the commonwealth that the meas
urements were falsified. Former Gov
ernor Pennypacker is to be called as
soon as Sanderson's experts have been
heard.
John Kaufman of Philadelphia. a
designer of furniture. who was in the
employ of Sanderson when the latter
was given the contract for capitol fur
n1shfngs, testified to the measurements
Of the 60 sofas mentioned IN the in
olctment for the purpose Of showing
that Sanderson did not charge for as
many feet" as he might have done
under his contract. According to
kaufrman's testimony sofa for which
Sanderson charged the state s3S0.40 as
containing Fl feet. actually measured
"a 4 Surface feet" and could have
been billed at $1.1S2.20. A table
measuring two feet six inches long and
two feet six inches wide, for which
Sanderson charged $64.40, accord
Ing to Kauffman's testimony, contained
2Sz"surface feet and should have cost
the state $423.20. Sanderson furnish
ed the state clothes trees at $37.6O
each as containing one and one-half
feet. The revis ed measurements made
by Kaufman show each tree to contain
Il surface feet" and each should
have cost the state $156.40.

THE CHILDREN'S PARK.
Should Be for All Well Behaved People
OF the City. e-

1t is unfortunate that the fine. gener-
Gus action of the Ramblers' club in
proposing to give the beautiful five acre
wooded tract on West Sixth to the city
for a Children's park. is coupled with
the impossible and impractical condi-
tion of excluding colored children.
The city council is sure to decide that
it cannot accept the grant and maintain
1t for the plain and simple reason that
the city council acts for all the citizens
A white man is no more citizen than
a colored man and the colored man is
no more exempt from taxation to sup
port parks than a white man. The
property held by this city is as much
the colored mans property as the white
mans. The time for raising any such
foolish questions passed years ago and
the council is certainly wise enough to
say quietly and firmly. "Oh, no, we
can't consider anything like this" The
question of even another park for
"colored children only would not meet
the situation either. We don't have any
Jim Crow street cars in Topeka and
We do not need to go to- the expense of
maintaining any Jim Crow parks.
Let all the parks be for the joy and de-
light of all respectable and well be-
haved people. at

MORE LIGHT.
The More We Study, the More We
Find Out.

mayor Green has fine letter today
from Mayor Spratt Of st. Joseph, telling
opoul the success of their municipal
electric lighting plant.
Inis is one of the forty or fifty
municipal lighting plants which Mr.
myers, the president of the Edison
company. overlooked in his schedule
when he said that he did not know OF
d single one which could really be class
ed as successful.
The mayor of St. Joe SAYS that their
own superintendent of electric light
plant, Mr.. Sheppard, planned and car
rled out their new equipment and ex-
tension A man like Mr.. SHEPPARD is
apparently the man who could tell To-
peka In a very few hours about what
we would have to spend here.
Counc1man Montgomery, chairman
mas received the following informa-
tin today about the St. Joseph build
ing and plant. ST. Joseph voted
$4,000 in bonds. Nineteen thousand
doHars of this went into a new build
ing: Mr. Montgomery who saw the
a fine hotel with bathroom for the
employees, etc. st Joe. has SCI lamps
and the people put into new machin-
cry, dynamos. engines. ETC., $56,675.OO
Dut this included a new Corliss en-
gine. Topeka does not need this. She
has a first class engine now and our
building Is all right, too.
This goes to prove that the State
Journals estimate of $4,000 as a
maximum amount necessary for our
new equipment is more than ample.
The cost of the operation of the new
lights under the modern equipment,
according to Mr.. Montgomery fig
ures, is 80 per cent less than it cost
st. Joseph before They remodelled
the municipal plant and rebuilt it.
The information Mr.. Montgomery has
secured on the expense per light per
year is as follows:
Operating expenses $37.74
interest .................... 6.I5
Depreciation 1858
Taxes lost OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 1.25
Total $oS5f
Wouldn't 1t be a good idea for the
mayor and councilmen to pay a visit
to st. Joe and then employ the super
intendent to come over here and look
around and tell US something. We could
get all the information we need in
short time and vote the necessary
bonds at the election In April and let
the commission do the rest.
BY the way. Mr.. Myers figured our
interest at $3.50 and our depreciation at
S12.S0 per lamp per year.
The above information from st. JOS
eph also came this morning to John P.
Rogers, city engineer. The light ser
vice Of st. Joseph includes $50 lights
over 145 miles of streets and the above
figures Of cost cover all night and every
night.

Premature Birth Of a New Party.

a conference was opened i'll St.
Louis last week for the important
purpose of founding a new political
party. A scoifer has said that an
old woman, a bell and a cat are
about all that is necessary to found
new religion, i'll view of the num-
erous sects that have risen and fall
Ell i'll the world. But enduring
political parties are not so easily or
ganized, as Know Nothings, Ma
twists ropulists and the recent In
dependence Party of Hearst have
discovered. Whilst new political
party may have captains and gener-
ais enough, to thrive it must not
only have principles; but a solid
basis in popular support.
1t appears that the founders of
This party in embryo, who have not
yet given it name, propose to es-
tablish it on what they assume to
se the wreck Of the defeated Demo
cratic darty. There never was a
mo e foolish political assumption.
Though the Democratic party has
experienced greater defeats, it has
never been discouraged, nor has it
lost confidence in the ultimate
triumph of its policies. Like the
son Of Earth, it has risen stronger
from its fall. Counting all it's vot-
es for President ard Congress, it
had numerically more strength in
the last election than ever before
in its history The intelligent and
patriotic millions who marched TN.
der its banner in this contest are
more convinced than ever of the
vital necessity of maintaining and
transmitting the organization and
the principles of Jefferson and JACK
son, Tilden and Cleveland. What
if a few jackals who have followed
the tracks of the lion of Democracy
drop off here and there in their de-
spair of spoilsa The party is all
the better from such detection in
that by maintaining its principles
it is sure to gain far more worthy
acquisitions. 1t is gaining them
now in the very days of defeat in
which it lost much, but nothing in
honor and political integrity. Any
attempts to build up new parties
out of the assumed wreck of the
National Democracy must be doom
ed to bitter disappointment and
despair. PHiIa. Record.

State Veterans See Only Political Tricks in
New 81, ,5oo.0O Scheme of Gang.

The new proposed pension bill,
Ct which State veterans have re
ceived copies, came in for severe
criticism at the meeting of Robin
son Post, No. 20, of Hazlcton As
the old soldiers did not have time
to discuss it thoroughly AT their
regular session, special session
has been called for Saturday even
ing to give it better attention.
The old soldiers denounce the
bill as worse than the one of two
years ago, which was vetoed by
Governor Stuart because it had ne
elected to appropriate money for
the payment of pensions.
The old soldiers see i'll the appro-
priation of 81, 500, 900, out of which
SIS 900 is to be paid for clerical
hire, great political scheme to
create new jobs for those who are
not deserving. They contend that
the only honest way is for the State
to get the names from Federal Pen
sion Agent Mulholland, of Phila-
delphia, of all Pennsylvania soldiers
who are drawing pensions and let
his certificate entitle the man to his
stipend.
The giving of So to every man
who served 80 days or more has
also aroused the ire of the veterans,
because it makes no distinction as
to length of service. They predict
that the fight against the ''bill will
be general throughout the State.
