Morton Albaugh, chairman of the publican state committee, who been looking into the tax-r lls Wyandotte county, takes a "fall" of W. H. Craddock, the fusion盐ate for governor, "I have spent two months," said airman Albaugh, "studying over Craddock's statement that if he elected governor he will cut the es of the people in two. At home, at Kingman, the school and meets and, after determining much money they have to raise school purposes, makes the neary levy, and this is general all one half of the entire amount taxes required from the commu- and I have wondered how Mr. doddock, if elected governor, could this levy in two. In the city or in the township, the city council or the township board, as the case may be, meets and determines the amount need to defray the expense of their municipality, makes the necessary pay, and I have wondered how Mr. Aldock, if elected governor, could this levy in two. When it is found how much may is needed to defray the expenses of the county, the commissers meet and make the necessa- levy for this purpose, and I have ordered how Mr. Craddock, if elect governor, could cut this levy in. In the state, after there has been determined the amount of money thus necessary to defray the state's expenses, the legislature, while in session, makes the necessary levy to cover this amount, and I have wonered how Mr. Craddock, if elected governor, could cut this levy in two. I am greatly relieved to have recovered Mr. Craddock's system have received from Kansas City a copy of the Wyandotte tax-roll, which shows how Mr. Craddock has been successful, not only in cutting taxes in two, but avoiding altogether the payment of any taxes, and after studying his system I am a loss to know why he should go on this state promising the people out, if elected, he will cut their lives in two, when in his own case he has used this system to relieve himself of the entire burden. The system is simple, can be adopted by every man to suit his on case, and requires no legisla- tion to make it effective. "I have only one criticism to offer; that is, Mr. Craddock does not promise to treat all the people as well as he has himself. He promises them merely a reduction of 50 per cent. of their taxes. Why does he not let them in on the ground floor with himself and relieve the people of the entire burden as the following records show he has relieved himself? "W. H. Craddock's name does not appear upon the tax-roll of Wyandotte county and never has. He does not pay taxes on either personal property or real estate. Mary E. Craddock, the wife of W. H. Craddock, paid taxes on real estate at No. 328 Lafayette avenue in 1901. This property is the homestead. Mary E. Craddock's name appears on the personal-property tax-roll for 1901. Valuation of personal property, $1020, the taxes on which for 1901 were $45.20. This tax, however, was not paid voluntarily, but was collected by the sheriff of Wyandotte county, as is shown by tax-warrant No. 299 for 1901. "Upon the roll for 1902 W. H. Craddock's name does not appear at all, and Mary E. Craddock, his wife's name, does not appear this year up on the roll of personal property, so that the Croddock family will pay no taxes this year, except upon the homestead, which is owned by the wife, and the wife pays that. "Thus it will be seen that W. H. Craddock, the Democratic candidate for governor, has never paid one cent toward defraying the expenses of his state, his county, or his city, and that his wife has finally caught on to the system and relieved herself of all personal piperty taxes. "In view of these facts, no one will accuse Mr. Craddock of kicking upon taxes on his own account." The newpapers report that the registration under the new constitution of Virginia is not working to suit the white ballot thieves. The white electors do not seem as willing to qualify as the black ones and there is a great fear in the heart of the white political thieves. Disfranchisement schemes have been a failure in all of the Southern States, because the average white man is no better than the average black man, and puts no more effort and cash in the matter of voting. The aggregate vote of the disfranchising states has fallen to no thing, s that they should be remanded to the status of territories on the face of the returns, and the country at large will come to see the weakness of the whole thing after a while. "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." WICHITA, KANSAS, OCT 4, 1902. General David B. Henderson, Speaker of the house of Representatives, has thrown a bombshell into the political hubbub by declining to stand for re election to Congress in the Third Iowa District, as he does not find himself in sympathy with the tariff revision plank adopted by the Iowa Republican State Convention. This action will recall that of Speaker Reed in getting out when he found himself out of sympathy with the policy of the McKinley administration. There are those who say that Speaker Henderson got cut because he was sure that he would be defeated by Horace Boies, the Democratic protagonist' but we are inclined to take the Speaker at his word. His district demanded tariff revision, and the whole country will demand it, and have it, to curb the trusts, and those Republicans who cannot take the view of the matter are consistent when the bretir from the stage. In doing so they act the part of honorable men. A recent dispatch from Birmingham, Ala., states- that Howard Jackson, a Negro who participated in the lynching of Alexander Herman, also a Negro, was found guilty of mnrder in the second degree and sentenced to a ten-year term in the penitentiary. The Negro gets the worst of it both "coming and going." This incident will put a quietus on the Negro lyncher. "The LORD giveth, The LORD taketh, Blessed be the name of the LORD." For more than two years Orange J. Thompson wrestled with that mighty disease known as consumption of the stomach. During those two years, which were permanently closed tast Wednesday night about 9 o'clock, all that human hands could do, or humn skill devise, was done to break the mighty hold which this dreaded disease had gained on his constitution—but all was of no avail—and he left his pain and misery on earth and went forth to try the unknown from where no traveler has ever been known to return to tell the way thereof. His soul went to join the great angelic host on high—for does no the poet softly say; "From dust thou art, dust returneth." Then the soul of Orange Thompson is waiting somewhere, at some place, in the great beyond. He is not dead, then, but sleepeth. Morn not after him, relatives and friends, for, "You will know each other better. When the mists have rolled away." Orange Joseph Thompson was born in Greenville, Ala. April 6th, 1875, and was, therefore, 27 years, 5months and 25 days old at the time of his death. He was a member of St. Paul A. M. E. church and came to Wichita in May 1892. He leaves a mother, 4 sisters, 4 brothers and a large acquaintance of friends. Funeral services held at St. Paul A. M. E. church Friday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. Dr. E. Harrison. The Searchlight extends to the bereaved family its profound sympathy in this, the hour of their ereavement. POLITICAL BOMB BURSTS. SPECULATION OVER REMOV AL OF ALABAMA OFFICIAL. Significance of President's Action- Miggy Interesting Figures Concerning Northern and West Washington, Sept. 3. — Last week President Roosevelt threw a bomb into the ranks of Southern white Republicans by removing Wm. Vaughan from the office of District Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. This sudden and seismal shock has created a panic in political circles here and politicians of all colors and creeds are trying to locote the exact cause of this unexpected reversal of the Southern policy of the McKinley Administration. In a spasm of surprise the Washington Post nervously articulates: "Vaughan is chairman of the Republican State executive committee which body recently eliminated the Negro from the Republican party in this state by adopting a resolution declaring that no Negro who was disfranchised under the terms of the new constitution could be a member of a Republican committee or participate in the primaries of that party. Vaughan was preparing to vacate the Republican chairmanship, but was holding on until his successor should be chosen. The President charges Vaughan with neglect of duty but the impression obtains that too active participation in partisan politics is the cause of his dismissal from office. It is rumored that several other prominent Federal office-holders here who have been active in the new political movement to eliminate the Negro from politics are also to go. The alleged purpose of the white Republicans is to up what they term a decent white Republican party in the state. It is rumored that Hon. James S. Clarkson of New York is largely rebuke to Southern Republicans while Senator Marcus A. Hanna is accredited with being a party to this unwelcomed jar to the happy dreams of the Southern Federal office trust. Colore dpoliticians are bubling over with satisfaction and regard it as an augury of race rehabilita: Saturday Night SPECIALS Three Grand Special Offerings for Saturday Evening commencing at Light O'clk.

A GOOD TICKET. There has never been a time in the history of Sedgwick county politics when the Republican party presented a cleaner, a more capable or satisfactory ticket to the people of this county than the ticket this fall. Every man from top to bottom is one for whom all voters, regardless of color, may vote and feel that he has voted right and for the right man. Every man has a clean and clear record, not only as a staunch Republican but as a citizen, as well. One extremely pleasing feature of the present county ticket is, the absence therefrom of the "prosessional" politician; each man on the ticet has been selected not on account of any "political pull", but on account of his ability and competency to satisfactorily fill the office for which he was nominated. The party this fall presents a business ticket and not a political one. The election of the whole Republican ticket this fall will mean much to the tax payers of this county, firstly, because each man is capable and amply able to perform the duties of his respective office; and secondly, because each man when he is elected' as each will be, will devote his whole time to saving the tax payers money and not use his office to build up a political machine at the extravagant expense of the honest tax payers. This alone is a recommendation which should appeal to all. Let all who are interested in the county vote this splendid ticket just as it was nominated, from top to bottom. John M. Chain has saved the county money by his very efficient services as County Clerk. He will be re-elected this fall. Do not forget that Henry Schad will be next sheriff of Sedgwick county; so vote for him and you will vote for a winner. Judge Thos, C. Wilson, by his economic methods in conducting the duties of the office of Probate Judge has saved the county several thousands of dollars in the past two years. Judge Wilson is of the right stripe and will be retained by the people in that office. Vote the whole Republican ticket straight, County and State. HAVE RE-ORGANIZED.

Douglas Ave., tion in the councils of the G. O. P. It can be easily understood now why the brilliant Senator A. J. Beveridge of Indiana cold not find time to visit the convention of Alabama Republicans. There is a large colored vote in Indiana and elections there are very close. The mighty Pritchard of North Carolina, however, attended the Alabama convention. Vanghan and his coterie of politcal hyenas deserve no sympathy. They openly acquiesced in the action of the Alabama democracy toward the Negro, and songht to defend their infamous plan of convention upon the ground that since the Negro had no vote he was not entitled to representation of any kind. "Turn the rascals out!" The Negro vote at the North and West is rapidly increasing, being augmented to a large degree by the exodus of outragel and indignant colored men from the South. The official figures of the United States Census bulitins for the following states for 1890 and 1900, including colored males of voting age, are as follows: Colored population of California (1890), 11,322; (1900) 11,045; vote (1900), 3,711.
