S WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS. That Will Re the Leading Issue in the Com- ing Fall Campnign. TorrkA, Aug. 24.—[Special to THE Ber.)— The overshadowing issue of Kansas politics in the next campaign will be woman suffrage, to be voted on in November, 1804. The ques- tion was submitted in the formof a constitu- tional amendment by the legislature last winter. The resolution was agroed to by the populist senate and the republican house, and both those parties are therefore prac- tically committed to it as a party policy, and may bo axpected to incorporate it in their respective platforms. This will, however, not insure the adoption of tno amendmont, as there is an undercurrent of protest against it in the ranks of both those parties, which is encouraged by the open opposition’ to the amendment of the democratic party and the German population. The Germans have organized a league for the especial purose of fighting the woman suffrage amendment and of working, as usual, for u resubmission of the liquor questio: They announce that if the democrats take the same stand they will go in with them and become democrits. A Chance for the Democrats. As opposition to these two questions is in line with the democratic policy, the party will, of course, fall in with the scheme, hoping not alone to regain its former fight- ing position in the state, but also to caryr the election. Thus the women at the outset of the campain will be met with an organ- ized force combating their eoffocts. They have, therefore, taken time by the forelock, and on September Land 2 will, at Kansas City, Kan., formally open tho campaign, fourteen months in ddvance of the election. Notwithstanding the obstacles which present themselves in the way of the success of the movement, the women ave very hope- ful and seem to regard the victory as already won. Mrs. Laura M. Johns, pre: dent of the Kansas Equal Suffrage associa- tion, snys the intorest of the men has been revenled in substantial contributions to the campaign fund and in pledges of help. Men in highest official positions have proffered assistance. The interest of women, t0o, she says, has been quickened by the prospect of success. Working the Men for Votes. One plan of operation the women have aaopted is to solicit the men to sign pledges to vote for the amendment. Mrs. Johns says already 40,000 names have been secured, and she confidently looks for the list to swell to 100,000 by the time all the county fairs and public gatherings will ~ have been visited this fall. It is the intention to give every man of the 800,000 voters in the statea chance to sign this roster or give a reason for not doing so. By this summary process the women have got the men scared and it is no trouble to get names. As Mrs. Johns says, should the amend- ment carry, the law of recompense will be applied to politicians who refuse to sign. All the Kansas state oficers have signed this pledge except Lieutenant Governor Daniels, who gives as his reason for declin- ing that the platform of the people's party is already loaded down and he thinks noth- g moro should be added to it. But be will change his mind before the men get to righting for the offices next year. Ho is a candidate for United States senator. The women may depend upon the politiclans to stand by them, through fear, if no other reason. The op position’s only hope is in the men who expect no political proferment and are not afraid of public or newspaper c n. Cush for the Campalgn, Mrs. Johns says the women will have plenty of money with which to carry on their campaign. They will not need much before next February, when it will begin to roll in, not from Kansas people, but from sympa- thizers all over the United States. This year tho national society will have to give much of its fund to Colorado, where a similar amendment will be voted on this fall, but next year money, speakers and all other in- fluences at the command of the society will be sent to Kanaas. At the moeting at Kansas City next week such noted women as Susan B. Anthony, Mary E. Leaso, Anna L. Diggs, Carrie Love Chapman, Emma H. Devoe, Rev. Eugenin St, John and others will be present. After this meeting the same speakers will visit the state fair, county fairs, picnics and other public gatherings, concluding the fall cam- paign November 8, 9 and 10 at the annual meeting of the Kansas Equal Suffrage asso- ciation. Then the women will rest until February, when they will start in again and keep up the fight until election day in No- vember following.

WILL CONCLUDE PURCHASES GRADUALLY Peculiar Developments Yesterday in Con- nection with Legislation on the Sab- Joet of Opening the Cherokes Strip to Settlement. 518 FountresTin Stite: WASHINGTON. Aug. 24 Agencies areat work to bring about a compromiso on the silver question. It is Proposed to repoal the prosent silver pur- chasing act and pass & law which will sim- ply authorize the secretary of the treasury within a given number of years to purchase 00,000,000 ouncos of domestic silver at cur- rent prices in such quantities and at such times as he may seloct, und to issue upon the bullion, certificates. It is claimed that this compromise will meet the approval of President Cloveland and that it will satisty the ultra freo coinage advocAtes in the sonate. It would definitely determine tho future policy of this government by fixing the termination of silver purchases. 1t is stated that the proposed compromise has been looked over by leaders of the two extreme wings of the senate, and that thoy aro awaiting the arrival of . Senator Morgan of Alabama, who is on his way here from Paris, where he has boen serving on tho Bering sea question. Senator Morgan is for frao coinage, Stould this compromise be affected it will contemplate the adoption of the Voorhees national bank ciroulation bill without amendment. Had to Take Their Own Medioine. Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota has succeeded in thoroughly “‘rubbmg in" on certain democratic senators their national platform plank providing for the appoint- ment of residents of territories and states to the federal offices therein located. During the Harrison administration Senator Pet grew defeated the confirmation of the nomi- nation of a land officer for Oklahoma on the ground that the nomineo was not a resident of that territory. Theother day President Cleveland nominated a resident of West Vir- inia to a land oftice on the Cherokee Strip. Yesterday the house passed a joint resol tion extending certain laws over the Chero- kee Qutlet and sent it over to tho senate, where it was referred to the committee on vublic lanas. Senators Pettigrew and Carey by mar- shaling the ropublicans of the commitiee succoeded ir securing an amendment to the resolution providing that appointments to oflices in the Cherokeo Outlet and the terri- tories should bo made from the residents thereof. The democratic members of the committee fought bitterly against the amendment notwithstanding the fact that Wasmivaros Boreav or Tne RRR,} Senator Pettigrew called their attention 1 their action two years ago in assisting him to defeat the confir tion of u nomination made by Pr dent Harrison on the grourd that the nominee was not a resident of the terri- tory to which he was appointed. An effort was made this morning to have the joint resolution called upon the floor of the senate and adopted without reference to the amend- ment, but Senator Manderson offered an ob- jection and the resolution wentover. The democrats will now have to either go back on the record they made during the last ad- tration, opposing nominations for terri- al offices made from citizens of the states, and thereby slap President Cleveland in the face or support the amendment and defeat one of President Cleveland’s nominations. May Protect the Company. Hon. John C. Watson of Nebraska City and President George Woolsley of the Ne- braska City Distilling company called today in compapy with Secretary Morton upon Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller with reference to vhe claims of the United States, amounting to some $8,000, upon the Nebraska City Distilling company for a fail- ure to produce the amount of spirits required by law from the machinery employed. This afternoon Mr. Watson made an argument before the commissioner as to the discretion vested in him to release distilleries which have failed through honest compliance witn the law to produce the 80 per cent requived from the mash. He hoves that a favorable decision will shortly be rendered. Now Western Postmasters, Postmasters appointed today: Iowa— Burt, Kossuth county, L. H. McChesney, vice J. L.

Work of Cleveland’s Friends. Free silver men say the refusal of the nate to seat Lee Mantle, the appointed senator from Montana, was the result of efforts upon the part of President Cleve- land’s friends who are workingsfor the un- conditional repeal of the silver flaw. The rofusal to seat Mantle indicates that tho democratic majority 1s afraid of re-infore- ing the free coinage ranks with an adgition of three votes. The senate's actionjon the Mantlegncase will leave ~ three states with but one sonator cach for a period of one year and only a half a vote for each state on all tinan- cial, tariff and local legisiation. The ques- tion here is whether Governor Osborne of Wyoming will refuse to call an extra session of the legislature to cloct a senator in that state, through the fear that inaction will disturb the finuncial situation there, and stir up public sentiment against the democ- 4 or i3 he afraid of the election of a re- vublican h the logislature is convened? Raiding the Penslon Rolls, No effort is to be made by President Cleve- lana’s authorized agents in congress to se- cure legislation intended to crinple the pen- sion rolls, The work of *‘raiding the pension list” is to be conducted under existing laws at the pension ofiice. President Cleveland first secured a Georgian without a war record as secretary of the interior, who di- rects all pension action and really ‘assumes the responsibility for it, and then he se- Jected a Minnesota ex-union soldier as com- missioner of pensions, and this northern ex- unionist is to act as the party scapegoat. An effort was made iu the last congress to get o fair test of the temper of the house upon pension legislation. A northern demo- crat offered a number of propositions lookin toward a reduction of the pension list, Ferd all were voted down. A fair and square vote was made upon all of the preliminary steps leading toward a decroase of pension appropriations. Eight or ten of the most plausible propositions were voted down by & majority averaging three-fifths of the house. me of them received a two-thirds majority. 1t then became appavent to the | democrats that their proposed ‘‘reform” of { the peusion list would have to come through the pension oftice and not through congres: Of course the senate, which was then re- publican, would have defeated all propos tions to wrongfully cut down the pension list, but it was plain that even the house, with its enormous demoeratic majority, would refuse to cut and slash the pension rolls as provosed by the incoming democratic adminstration. Democrats Are Powerless, The senate is now democratic by a ml{ol’- ity of five or six. It would be impossible, however, to get any measure through that body looking toward a ‘‘revision” of the pension list, as there are eight or ten north- ern democratic senators who would be re- tired to private life if they countenanced the raid which even now s being made upon pensioners. ‘When Speaker Crisp announced the eom- mittees of the house, on Monday last, and it was seen that a mljomy of the committee on invalid pensions would not favor any log- islation intended to reduce pensions and Mr. Martin of Indiana was retained as chairman of that committee, it was then koown that all hope of legislation upon pension ques- sions was abandoned by this admivistration, There is no douby that a joint resolution could be passed through both branches of congress condemning the present methods of the pension oftice in dropping peunsioners OMAHA DAILY B from the roll before thay are given a hear- 10g if such & mgR¥Tre could recoive consider- ation; but the”committea on rules in the house would never suffer any joint resolu- tion, which might_bocome a law, to receive cousideration. hus pension matters, so far as congress is concerned, are in statu quo. The raid upon tho pensiger will continue, but it will contiuue without elthor the sanction or con- demnation of congress. It is a question whether President Cloveland would sign any measure relating to pensions which did not direct a reduction of the rolls; but there isno question in the minds of ‘those who have talked to him as to whether he would defeat legislation in congress which might embarrass him if sent to the white house in the form of an adopted bill. The work of cutting down t| sion list is to go on under the dirodtidn of the president, buv that personage will convinue to evade the di- rect responsivility for it, and the men in congress who have the power to pass a bill putting a stop to the raid or putting the president in a hole by compelling him to re- fuse to sign it, will also look on at the work and evade direct responsibilit; Wostern Ponsion The following ponsions granted aro ro- ported: Nobraska: Original—Jerome B.

C,, Aug. 24.—The friends of the repeal bill are confident that the chances for the passage of the unconditional ropeal bill through tho senate ave improving. A democratic momber from a southern state, who is & very earnest opponent of uncondi- tional repeal, said that it was his opinion, although ne regretted t) say it, that the bill for repeal would finally pass the senate. “But,” he added, “if a few morc specches like that of Mr. 'Voorhees are made in be- half of the repeal bill the bill will certainly bo killed.” “The administration has been very unfortu- nate in its loaders. M. Vi chair- mar of the committee on fi i view of his fiay money record, his _opposition to na- tional banks and his opposition to overy- thing which the friends of sound money in- sist upon as necessary to a wiso financial policy, is likoly to injure the cause of repoal. Whether or not k¥ tn carry any votes with him besides his own is yet to be determined. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, who declares himself for unconditional repeal, and who thinks that the bill will be passed, said that if the admimstration did not keep Mr. Voorhees quicf there was danger that he might help the opponents of repeal. The speech of Colonel Hepburn, in which he declared against all the pending proposi- tions, including unconditivnal repeal, has attracted much attention. It is intimated that three other Iowa republicans may fol- low Mr. Hepburn's lead. Mr. Lacéy of Towa is anxious to offer an amendment pro- viding for resumption and continuanco of silver coinage ungil othe.sotal. amount shall reach $700,000.000,1 at which - point coinage shall cease, and he is hopeful that he may be allowed 'to do, so. i Thoro are, intimations that thére is some uncertainty’ as to the yote of, Iliinois.

As 500n a8 the meoting was called to order, Mayor Bemis was introduced and spoke, in part, as follows: “Lam proud of the honor you confer upon we by asking me to preside at this meeting, callod to consider the question which is now agitating this great country. “In secking for the causes which have pro- duced these stringent financial conditions in this country wo may find a lieve the condition is greatly a an almost entire loss of confidence, on the tof the masses of the peoplo, in the vresent namimstration. ‘There is 4s much money in the country now as there was a year ago, but the people have taken alarm, not without cause, and have withdrawn u large portion of it from circulation, 1 do not agree with Senater Voorhees when he '8 that the Sherman law is the sole cause of this finaneial crisis, but I believe that th fear of the peoplo that this administration would take some radical steps on the money and tariff questions has precipitated a crisis which has beon growing upon us_over sin the infamous«demonetization of silverin 1 For the last twenty years there have been three parties in this country—the re- publican, the democratic and the gold varty. “The gold party has acted as a unitand has controlled the other two parties, clecting lents, controlling legislation and hing itselt until the poor have become poorer and the rich richer. Pronounced in flis Views. “I believe in silver first, last and all the time. That is my platform. 1 believein the ree coinage of it, too. I only wish all my in silver instead of in dirt. [Ap- “There are issuos whi Banquo, will not down. still . like tho ghost of he silver question muins the great living issue, but the way it has been ignored, evaded aud thrust aside by both the democratic and republican parties, oue might suppose it was already settled, if not dead and forgotten. But no question is ever settled until 1t is settled right. Tho great wrong done to the peoplo by the demonetization act of 1873 remains to be righted. This can only be dono by endowing silver with its true money function and makiog it, as was intended by the con- stitution, co-cqual with gold for all money purposes. The cry of ‘cheap silver, ‘a dis- honest dollar,’ or” even ‘a sound currency,’ will no longer 'deceive, neither will dear golil as the measure of values be longer tolerated. Dear gold means cheap men, cheap property, hard times, low wages and general stagna- tion. This country does not want mono- metallism. Bimetallism cannot be aban- doned by thie 450 representatives of the people now 1n congress assembled. They were elected by the people on a platform of bimetallism.” Crisis Will Cure Itself, “It has been suggested that the president called congress together a month soouer than was originally intended because there was a fear that the panic would cure itself before they could get together, and I begin to think it would have done 'so. If they make as much headway as they have done since the Tth inst. the diseased financial con- dition will have cured itself beforc they accomplish anything. “If congress does not soon change the flnancial condition of the country by some wise legislation in the way of bimetallism or silver coinage, I will take the stump for paper money based on unskilled labor. [Wild and "~ tumultuous applause.] Tho American flag and the official government stamp make anything a good uirculating medium, either silver, paper or gold. The critical ‘condition of ‘the country requires immediate action and congress should uban- don its dilatory tactics and undo the mis- chief it did in 1873, when the demonctization of silver was cffected by congress without tho knowledge of more than two or three members and without the knowledge of the president. All this comes through the con- trol of the moncy of the country by the gold barons of Wall streot. The question is: Shall we have money based on an_ articlo accessible o all, through the mines of this great countr, rrency creaved, contract as the interest of the banks alone may dictate? I say give us old und silyer at the old ratio that existed up to 187 forson’s Silver Te dencles. Paul Vandervoort upon being called to the platform, said eveu as long ago as during tho time of Thomas Jefferson, that gentleman had declared in favor of the free and un- limited coinage of silver. The continental congress had declared in favor of the same priuciples, urging that silver was the money for the people, In 1873, he declared that there was o transforming of water into blood, and since that time the leaders of the great political parties had been bending the knee to the golden calf, striking down the dollar of the poor people and turning gold into the coffers of the rich. J. W. Edgerton whben called to the speaker's stand made the stutement that he was glad to lay aside all party feeling and Giscuss 4 question that was of interest to the masses. The country, ho believed, was confronted with the groatest danger that it had ever been called upon to face, and the only thing todo was to arisc and strike off the yoke that _the British government was striving to place upon the necks of the American people. In 1878 the English gov- ernment had demanded the demonotization of silver and the congress of the United States had given that government just what it had asked. Mr. ,Kdgerton insisted that the ratio should be 16 to 1, with free and un- limited coinage, and then the mines of tho west and all of the silver industries would again be upon their feat. Judge Ong of Genova met with a rousing reception as he stepped to tho front of the platform, but before he had spoken five minutes the cheers changed to jecrs and hisses, simply because he had started in on a democratic speech. A howl went up from the audience that the gathering was for the purpose of holding a silver meoting, and that politics was not to be discussed, The judge caught tho cue, and for half an hour he tatked silver, -1osln§ with the statement that the man now in congress who voted against free and unlimited conage, provided he came from the west, would dig his own political grave. Hascall Got in & Howl, Councilman Hascall urged that the gold men had been trying to gull the people of the country and that they had gone so far as to enlist some of the Omaba preachers in the undertaking. Ho remembered having seen a sign over the door of a church which read, “Have faith in gold.” That preacher, he cpined, woulds be given one of the hot- test seats in hades and would be compeled to do most of the firing. The national bank system, Mr. Hascall declared, was the curse of the country and the laws under which 1t operated were for the spurpose of mak- ing the rioh richer and the poor poorer. Blaine wasa silver man and was defeated, that the gold men might have s man who would advance their interests. ln paying & tribute to President Cleveland, the speaker declared that he was o mugwump and would rater spend his time at Buzzard's Bay, catching fish than staying at the national ugull‘ attending to his duties. hort speeches were made by Champion 8, Chase and James H. Kyner, both of whom declared in favor of free and unlimited coin- age. The latter named geutleman caught the crowd by declaring that he was in favor of shooting on the spot the first man who would vote iu favor of demouetizing the sil- ver dolla) Resolutions Rather Silvery, Just betore the adjournment of the meet- 1ng, the following resolutions, prececed by a ! proamble, were ilntroduced by V.

[Applause.] He had peoplo at home more decply interestod in this question than any other people in the union. Bynem Ridiculed, He then turned his attention to Mr. Bynum, and his allusions to that gentloman vut the house in a roar. It was not neces- sary for him to read any number of specches e by that gentleman under the prior ad- t Ho would content himself ing to whathis own oyes had witnessed. Ho would not go back into old history. He would go back only to October, 1891, When Mr. Byoum of Indiana, Mr. Black of Pennsylvania, and M. Wilson of West Virginia were advertised to make tour through the country for the purposo of organizing democratic ¢lubs. How warmly the people of Denver bad treated thoso men, They had been treated to bed and board. ~ [Liughter.] Then Mr. Bynum had aadressed the largest audienco that had ever assembled in Denver. In the Rocky Mountain News wasa_ stenographic report of s speech, in which he said have ways been in favor of the free coinage of silver. Ihave voted for free cowago from the time the question has been be- fore congress, and I will do so every uime the question comes up. |Laughter and applause.| He (Mr. Pence) trusted tho teacher would not rebuke the scnolar when he ventured to tell him the question had now come up. [Applause and laughter.] There was & portrait of tho gon- tleman from Indiana published in the paper, butas he (Pence) was a_littlo_man and the volume was a large one, ho could not hold it up for the inspection of the houso. [Laugh- ter. But he would ask unanimous cousent to have it reproduced in the Congressional Lec- ovd. In this picture was represonted a silver dollar, and it was supported—how? By tho manly foe and logs oF the. gentloman from with Indiai Whose ns wore thoso that helped to support it? ‘I'he arms of the gen- teman from Indiana. [Laughter.| Whose face was_this? Whose eyes Those of Mr. Bynum. And boneath was the inscription: “Have always voted for free coinage and always will.” Had Learncd iis Lesson Well. The gentleman from Indiana had taught him (Pence) his lessons and ho declined to vetreat from their teachings. [Applause.] But ho began to understand why and how it was that o democratic president elocted on a silver platform, absolutely and without fear of contradiction, commdnded & majority to surrender. The president well understood the favors ho had to dispose of and the means at his command. The prosident did not hesitate; he felt hrave. to the winds! He would turn down platform! Brave was he as was the sl gard who was toid to go to the ant. The sluggard rephed: “Thav would be a waste of time; I'd rather sit down by my pie and let the ‘ant come to me.” (Appluuse and laughter. | Mr. Penco then paid his respects to Sen- ator Voorhees and criticised him for the position he had taken. Ho could not but be reminded (since Voorhces had taken the same stand as Shorman) of an article written by the senator and published in the North American Keview denouncing Sherman as the financial weathercock of the nation. (Laughter and applause.] Aid then there was no wonder that the ordinary people _could find no distinction between the were these? “I'ho platform the DPresent -secretary of the treasury, Mr, Carlisle, ax . Tho story of the_temptation of Mr. Carlisle woald be'ono of the saddest in the history of the country. In this connection he quoted an ancedoto about a stranger in a swall town. Ho wanted to go to church. He came to a white church on which was the inscription *Luth- eran Church.” He came to a brown church on which was the insceiption *‘Luthoran Church.” He returned to his tavern asked the provrictor how it was in 8o & a town there were two Lutheran churc The landlord remarked they look but were not alike. *‘In the white said he, “thoy belicvo tho scrpent tempiid Eve and Eve tompted Adam. In the brown church they beliove Adam was a bad egg from the start.” [Laughter and applause. | Mr. By s Reply. Mr. Bynum replied to the stricture made upon him and upon his sesming inconsistency —but he did so in a jocular vein, and with evidont appreciation of the Colorado man’s humor, He admitted he haa spoken in Den- ver n 1801 and that he had addressed one of the largest audiences he had ever fuced, Ho had in the fall of that year the pleasure of making a tour of the continent with several other gentlemen in order 1o establish demo- cratic clubs. Everywhere they had been hospitably received, and by the time they reached Denver he might have been (smil- ingly and jocularly) irresponsible. When they arrived at Denver they were shown the sights of the city, and a more magnificent city he had rarely seen. He had admired the beauty of uhé city and had asked, “‘What mesans all thist” The reply was, “It means silver; it is built on silver.” “But,” he replied, *1 am makiong a tariff campaign.” “But, you can say something about silver,” and he had done so. He confessed his sins and asked forgiveness. (Laughter.) Pence_ retorted that ho undersiood the excuse the gentleman had for his utterances that night. He hoped the gentleman would notbave to plead any such excuse for his vote on the pending question. [Applause. | Johnson of Indiana and Avery spoke in favor of the repeal and then the house took a recess uutil 8 o'clock. Evening Sesslon, At the avening session of the Swanson, democrat, of Virginia, favored carrying out the Chicago platfor; Maddox, democrat, of Georgia, oppose the Wilson bill, and_spoke for frec silver, as did Grady, democrat, of North Carolina, Kem, populist, of Nebraska, favored free colnage.
