COLLEGE CONCERT. of TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 7, 1883. The Beautiful Appreciation Friendship to Deputy Marshal Hazen. Little Joker is the best smoking i i top of the' government building this morning. This building has been a long time going up, but when completed, there will be no finer or better constructed edifice any place.

Every stone in its walls, from foundation rock to turret cap, has been laid by skilled hands and is.there to stay until Gabriel blows his horn. From its summit a magnificent view of city and surrounding country is to be had. Miles and miles of waving grain and lovely landscape stretches out beforejthe eyes, presenting a picture enthusiastically charming. At present about one hundred and fifty men are engaged upon the work here and elsewhere some at Indianapolis where the lathing is being prepared and others at Chicago, building the iron stairs. The lathers are expected here now every day and the An Immense Gathering to Witness the Performances of Those Taking Part.

The large hall at Bethany College was crowded with people last night who went there to attend the annual commencement concert. At 8 oclock the exercises were announced by Bishop Yaile and then every available inch of space in the room was filled. Woovenhamps grand march was exceedingly well performed by Misses Blakesley, Church, Bush and Crawford. They used two pianos, and all played at one and the same time. For such a youthful quartett, their execution of the number was extraordinaiy Following next, was the vocal duet greet-1 gr0Und story will be completed by the ing by Misses Warner and nst 0f November so that the postoffice Miller, sung very nicely.

I left Chicago in the last of January, done some organizing in Illinois; gave a number of lectures Live for Labor Strikes in Missouri, in connection with the order and founded Assemblies of the order at Ft. Scott, Garnett, Lawrence, Emporia, Junction City, Clay Center, Beloit, Kirwin, Logan, Mankato, Scandia and nine other places in this state. Will institute an assembly here to-night, so you see that this good work is going on in this state. The havest is great but the laborers are few, One great draw back is that those that work for humanity are poorly paid, making it quiet a struggle to keep in the field of reform for myself I could make more financially at my trade (carpentering), but I think of the dollar of the future not the money of the present, and if I do not have the privilege of enjoying the fruits of my and others efforts, the children that are growing up, will do so. Then let us do what we can to bring around a way that will really better the conditions or all.

This organization took place just before the people took the Bastile, July 13th, 1789. It was the people rising against the ruling classes it was a rebellion against the divine right of Kings. Then-first attack was upon the Bastile, the State prison and Citadel of Paris, situated at the gate St. Antoine. The Bastile was sufficient for 50 state prisoners in solitary cells.

It is charged that prisoners in the Bastile were miserably fed. Benneville asserts thatthe daily subsistenceof the prisoners did not exceed 20 sous. History tells us that tlie inhuman treatment of prisoners in the Bastile had no parallel in the hit tory of penal cruelty. Men and women were put there without accusation. or trial, on a simple lettre de cachet, allowed no communication with friends, their final fate was dependant upon the caprice of despotism and unknown to the world.

Within the walls of the Bastile died Charles de Gantoul; here was imprisoned Richelieu, Voltaire, Robespierre and Latude; here was imprisoned that victim of Louis XIV, known as theman in the Iron mask. The imprisonmen of Bloizat, the Kings librarian, by the King's minister De Bretenil, brought the iniquity of the place to light. Bloizat to appease the people was delivered, but De Bretenil was not punished. The Commune attacked this prison July 14, 1789, captured and ransacked the prison on the loth; its towers were razed and its dungeons, with the sp ings of its battlements. Seven er-sons were found in its cells and dungeons; one the Count de Solage, a prisoner from his eleventh year; Tavernier, charged with no crime, had spent thirty years in the bastile.

The commune established the Parisian militia or national guard. It was a glorious work that the-communist of Paris had done, one that they had a right to be proud of; one that inspired the triends of liberty the world over. But on November 10, U91, two years after Petion was elected mayor of Paris, Robespierre, Billoud, Varennes and Tathien entered the general council; Manuel held the office of attorney and had Dalton his first assistant. From this time the communists were virtually controlled by the Jacobins, and on the night of Aug. 10th, 1792, established themselves as theInsurrec-toryj Commune, declared; -ah otuer $9,200 18,490 Total, Add the above Last evening the friends of Deputy City Marshal Henry Hazen took possession of that gentleman and made him the present of a very fine gold star to wear as the emblem or sign of his office.

The outside is covered witli a circular plate about the size of a ten dollar gold piece from under which projects the four prongs or points of the star, the end of each ornamented with a neat ball. Across the face of the plate is inscribed Topeka, while around its rim are the words, Deputy City Marshal. On the underside is written, From A. T. S.

F. blacksmiths, to Henry Hazen. The whole piece is made of solid gold, was furnished by Lowenthal and cost $40. In presenting the badge to Mr. Ilazen, Claud Phillips delivered himself as follows: Marshal IIazen: I am happy to inform ou this evening that I have been selected by your many fellow workmen to present to you in our be-lialf tins beautiful jewel.

It is com posed of the purest metal, and with the most elaborate workmanship. The wire counsellors of this great city have chosen you from among us to fill one ot the roost important oflices in oar social fabric. We hope that you will so discharge the duties and functions of jour trust that these wise men will neve- have occasion to regret their choice. While jou are worthy of their confidence, you merit our esteem and we beg of you to accept this as a small estimation of our many regards for you. There are only one kind of officers in our system Iff Goverment that merit public confidence.

They are those who perforin theit duties without fear or favor, and do justice to all classes of people. Society lias suffered in late years from inefficient public servants. The many causes of inefficiency have heen investigated by the social world, and intemperance has been proved to be the cause of nearly all tliecomplaints. We know that you will guard yourself a-gainst this great moral evil. While you adjust this jewel in its proper place, I tlianK the ladies gentle-mem for their kind attention and the committee for the honor they have confered on me this evening.

Hazen thanked them very kindly, and assured the assembly that it would be his greatest pleasure to wear their offering as a brave man, ready to perform the duties of his important position as becomes an officer and a gentleman. Mr. Hazen was so emotionally affected tnat his utterances were cut short, and congratulations followed, after which the little company dispersed. Total $27,690. The running expenses of the city including salaries, is $3,300 per month, $39,600 per year.

Will some one tell us how this deficiency is to be raised. Were it not for the fact that we have been collecting from the saloons some $2,000 a month, and $24,000 a year, our city would be hopelessly in debt.

Hungarian Interezzo, or Wedding Festival, from Scliarweuka, on the piano, by Misses Gilmore and Edwards, was followed with an extraordinarily fine recitation Jane Conquest by Miss Lizzie Allen. The piece was so well delivered, that flower offerings began to make their appearance at this point and Miss Allen was one of the first receiving anything of the kind. Her ap pearance closed part first of the programme, but without hardly any time for intermission, part second was taken up, the first number being a piano solo, by Miss Dunlop, a nice performer, on the ivory; Miss Horners vocal solo was good, but not better than that of Miss Millers entitled "The Flower Girl, though between them Miss Weymouth, played a polka, Roheme, from Ituben-stcin, that was nice.

The new store building of Mr. Meadows, corner of Gordon and Taylor streets, is about completed, and will be stocked with groceries at once. The course of the sage Clemens and his importunate hackers against the head of the city government and the will of the majority of the citizens of Topeka, is much canvassed and condemned by the heavy tax-payers on the North side. And although Mr. Clemens may get a handsome swag for his part, which is sure to end in smoke, he has lost friends and he may feel it yet, as soon as the bottom drops out ot the scheme, which will be when the con tributions cease and the last dollar is gone.

Now the law requires the city government to make its improvements for the benefit made by Bishop Vail. Three prizes, will be some North Side This is the logic that we read in the Capital almost every day. If the Capital were consistent, we should respect its position, but it is not consistent. It was less than a week ago that police reports show that some sixty bodies we dont use the word women, visited by Robespierre spread terror among the royalists by the slaughter of September following, Next they joined the Montognards, and organized the insurrectionary movements which resulted in the fall of the Girondists, May 31st and June 2nd, 1793.

Who is prepared to say that these men demanded more than was right. That excesses were committed we are free to admit, but when we consider the provocation, we are not surprised. There never was a more patriotic body of men than the communists of Paris. Knights of Labor. Minneapolis, June 2, 1883, Publishers Mate Journal I noticed in your paper of the 30th article taken from the Capital (and your 1 proval of the Bame) in which the aims police headquarters, called on the police judge, pleaded guilty, some for keeping bawdy ltouses, or houses of ill fame, others for being inmates of such houses They paid their fines and will ply their llegal occupation for another month, when they will again appear, plead guilty, and pay another fine.

The Capital has not a word to say about it. This same policy is pursued towards these frail ladies in every city in the country. Does the Capital want the law enforced against these ladies? Would the Capital like to have the men arrested who visit these houses and violate the law, and their names paraded in the police reports, the Capital like to have the names mentioned of property owners who rent their houses to these women knowing the uses to which they are to be put? Rented to them by men who stand higli in the city and in the church because they will pay more and are prompt pay. How would the Capital like the picture? Why does not the Capital howl about violation of other laws our city. The Sunday laws of yeur smoking one each for instrumental music, vocal music and art, called prizes for greatest progress.

That for instrumental music was awarded to Eva Weymouth, for vocal music to Louie Horner and for art to Miss Anna Wheaton. Next were two Bishop Vail medals, awarded for greatest progress in all branches The two candidates for those were Blanche Iliginbotham and Maggie Thompson. In the Bishops remarks, he said these two candidates were exactly even in merit, hence he gave two medals instead of one as originally contemplated. Next were a class of four in essays, a diploma being given to each; first, Salutatory and essay, "Grace Darling, by Blanche Higginbotham; second essay, Drink Deep or Taste Not by Vada Jetmore; third, essay The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Rules The World, by Maggie Thompson; fourth, essay, Fences, and Valedictory, by Kate Ilogeboom. Following the presentation of diplomas, Bishop Vail made a few very appropriate remarks owners against the city of Topeka and the A.

We advise the city council to appoint a committee to investigate the matter at once and put up a breakwater on the north side, as soon as the stage of the water permits. A stitch in time saves nine. Mr. McGee, proprietor of the pop beer manufactory, on the northeast corner of Gordon and Madison streets, showed us a patent bottle stopper of his own invention for confining pop beer, soda water and any liquid, the accumulating gas of which is likely to force out a common stopper. It is made of a metallic base, covered with rubber, lion.

Thomas II. Cavanaugh, ex-Secretary of the state Kansas, and who has recently been appointed United States Inspector of the land office tor Washington Territory, passed through to-day in one ot Mr. Pullmans palatial cars, bound for the scene of his future labors. He will first be stationed at Seattle, on Pugets sound Las Veyus Optic. We would like to know if there is no end to these special agents and inspectors.

It looks as if every political striker in Kansas, of the dominant party, must be provided with the same imaginary office where lie can draw pay and live at the expense oftlie taxpayers. It was only three or four years ago that Smallwoo.d ex-secretary of state, went out to Washington Territory as register or receiver in the land office. Now Cavanaugh, another ex-secretary, goes oat at the publics expense to inspect the office. What is called the civil list will soon have on its rolls every broken down Republican politi-can in the state, and the tax-payers will have to foot the bill. Ladies approve Little Joker.
