CHICAGO, May 3.-Chief of Police
Hubbard to-day issued an order to the
captains of police in which he says: 1t
is currently reported that gamblers
are fiocking to this city from
all parts of the country intending
to engage in their unlawful calling or
profit from a loose Interpretation of
the laws and ordinances governing
such matters. Public gambling will
not be tolerated within the limits Of
this city and the impression to the con-
trary which may exist should be at
once corrected. a strict enforcement
of the vagrancy laws directed
against this class of people
will rid the city of their
presence and the force is hereby di-
rected to take note of all such persons
arriving in the city and those already
here, and if they persist il remaining
and neglect to engage in a legitimate
business they should be prosecuted ac-
cording to law.
Mayor Cregier says this order was
issued after consultation with him and
that the gamblers will not be permitted
TO stay in the city. 1t had been stated
in some of the newspapers of the city
that gambling was to be treated len
ientIy.

CLAUS SPECKLEs has some magnifi-
cent ideas on the beet sugar business.
He says:
My own idea is that in few years
we will import no sugar. Not only
does the beet grow to perfection in Cal
ifornia, but it eau as easily be grown
here, in the central states, and in Kan
sas in particular, Saturday last the
few remaining shares of the S. 900 900
stock in the company, of which l own
a majority, were subscribed in San
Francisco, and the new company was
incorporated. The facilities will he
amply able to supply America with
beet sugar.
After this first years trial we shall
go at the business on larger scale.
Ten new factories, at cost of $500, 900
each, on the same general plan Of the
one already in existence, will be built
in different parts of California.
If all the soil adapted to sugar beet
growing in California was utilized for
this purpose California could compete
with Louisiana as a sugar growing
state. We think that most of the low
or moist lands of this country are well
adapted to the purpose, and owners of
such might find it profitable subject
of experiment"

AT a dinner in New York, recently,
Senator Evarts told his experience, on
similar occasion, in London. A
prominent EnglIshman, who sat beside
him, said: "Mr. Evarts, understand
this is your first visit to Europe. How
does this matter of rank and of titles
strike you, when you are without them
at homer" Mr.. Evarts replied: ut
makes no great impression upon me.
If we have nobody below us. we have
the satisfaction of having nobody
above us, and that seems to equalize
the matter pretty well.' "Well," said
he II mean these titles of persons in
authority" Mr.. Evarts said: "You
have the same title here for all
your great men that we have in Amer
ica." "How?" said he. why" said
Mr.. Evarts, "Mr. Gladstone, and MI
Disraeli, and Mr.. Bright, and Mr.. Cob
den, are by all laws the greatest Eng,
lishmen now living" That ended his
difficulties about the want of titles in
this country.

AS was confidently predicted during
the campaign, so does it come to pass
that President Harrison owns himself.
He is not the property of the politicians
to the extent they hoped for. If he
was, every democrat in Office would
n wv be fred into outer darkness. He
has publicly announced his intention
to observe the requirements of the
civil service rules. If he were a mere
manikin or puppet in the hands of the
politicians. he would long ago have
eaten his own words. Being an ardent
republican, he would of course be glad
to have the offices filed by men of his
own party. but as the executive of the
whole people, he cannot forget his re-
sponsibility to them, nor ignore the
plain letter of the law, nor eat his own
words, let the politicians say or think
what they may. They may get mad.
and do a deal of swearing sub rosa.
but they will respect him all the more
for his firmness. at worst they have
only to be patient. They will get the
offices after awhile. The civil service
net is not woven so tight that it cannot
be stretched wide enough to let demo-
Gratis fall through its meshes. Presi-
dent Cleveland was exasperatingly
slow, so democrats thought, in stretch
ing it. Can President Harrison do less
for civil service reform than his prede-
cessor? Not without inviting the
shafts Of ridicule and sarcasm.

61S and $40
Commercial st.

celebration has made the week nearly
a blank in commercial or financial re-
spects. At New York accumulated
orders gave a surface appearance of
greater activity on Thursday and Fri
day but it is yet too soon to judge
which way the tide will turn and re-
ports from other cities, though nearly
all hopeful, in turn do not indicate the
expected improvement. The situation
seems better at Milwaukee, satisfac-
tory at Omaha, good at Cleveland as to
most branches, but questionable as to
iron, rather dull at Kansas City and
St. Paul and less encouraging
at the chief centers of the
grain, iron, coal and leather trades.
Collections are far from satisfactory at
Milwaukee and not improved at De-
troit. but in other lines there and other
cities generally they have been fairly
satisfactory, and at New York some
dry goods dealers complain that collec-
lions are ''too good.'' Buyers keep so
far with means-and reports about the
wool trade are contradictory and a re-
port that the treasury may not decide
the wooden worsted question for
months, disturbs importers who have
quantities of goods laid up, because
dealers are waiting tor a decision,
Silks are quiet. but linens are quite

active, and slow improvement contin-

of improvement in iron and steel have
not been sustained. Here and Boston

feeling of confidence, but at Pittsburg
prices are lower, sales of manufactured
are more difficult and a large sale of
steel rails at $500 is reported here
to have been made by Pittsburg mill.
At Philadelphia structural plate sheet
and boiler iron are in good demand. AT
Cleveland and here, coal is dull; the
reported increase in stocks for March

is expected. Copper still waits, tin is

ANOTHER lie nailed. 1t now turns
out that General B. Fisk has not
abandoned the prohibition party as
was stated by the New York Mail and
Express some days ago. That story he
denounces as ''despicable lie.'' He
says.
81 have not spoken with ex- Senator
Sewell, as was stated by the Mail and
Express, nor have / had an interview
with any other New Jersey politician
about temperance matters. You may
denounce the statement of the Mail
and Express as an unconscionable lie.
My pockets are full of dispatches ask
ing about this matter. You may tell
my good prohibition friends the coun-
try oveEa they need not have the sligh-
est fears about my drawing back from
the advanced position which we occupy

as the studied effort to
misconstrue and distorE what he said,
we care nothing. 1t may have been a
good thing for the Democrat, as Nc
Gown says, when the writer severed
his connection with it. To that we
have to say that it was far better
thing for US. as for divers others who
did likewise for abundant cause.
Brother McCown is evidently in bad
humor. Well. we don't blame him
much for that. Under the circum-
stances perhaps it is unavoidable. His
outburst of petulance and peevishness
shows how sore and distract he is.
But think of republican editors of So
called democratic paper sneering at

THE Minneapolis and st. Paul strik-
ing street car drivers had to knuckle
down at last and accept the reduced
wages offered. OF course. That was
a forgegone conclusion. The strike
was mistake. The street car.compa-
MES would never have ordered reduc-
tion in wages. had they not known that
hundreds of men were waiting for a
chance to go to work at the re-
duced rate. In the event of a strike.
they knew that other hands were ready
to take the strikers's places. When
such a condition exists, if men are wise
they wont strike. They may be treated
badly in having their wages cut down,
but they treat themselves worse
when they deprive themselves-by
striking-of any wages at all. As long
as there is no more than one man seek.
ing one job. he is safe as to wages and
general treatment. But when two OF
more men seek the same Job, then look
out. A 81 man can't, other things be-
ing equal, long hold his place against

strike, but to what purposei
His place is filed in an hour, while ht

Left to the Discretion Of Each Road.

CHICAGO, May Am adjourned
meeting of the general managers and
general superintendent of the roads
between Chicago and the Missouri
river and the Union Pacific was held
yesterday to act upon the proposition
of the Union Pacific that its eastern
connections so arrange the time of
their limited trains as to connect with
a limited train which the Union and
Central Pacific roads mean to run here
after in place of the Golden Gate spe-
cial, which ran only once a week. The
representatives Of the Union Pacific
said that all the arrangements for run
ming the new train between San Fran
cisco and Council Bluffs had been COM
pleted, and if the roads east OF the
Missouri river showed the proper spirit
and arranged the time schedules OF
their trains to closely connect with the
Union Pacific train and also with the
limited trains east from Chicago,
shorter time could be made than eveE
between San Francisco and New York
After a long discussion the nesting
adjourned without any conclusion,
leaving it TO the discretion Of each road
to make the necessary arrangsmentS, II
it so desired.

THE Boston superintendent of schools
says in his annual report that corporal
punishment was dealt out last year to

times. AS this is city of schools and

proximately, the extent to which it is
used in the schools of Emporia. We
have an idea that things are far better
manage here than in Boston, as far as

The nominee of the convention yes
terday is Buckeye by birth, and came
to Kansas in the year 1858, since which
time he has resided at Ottumwa,
Coffey county. He served through the
war from 1851 to 1865, going in as pri-
vate and coming out captain. His
title of General" he obtained as brig
adler general of state militia. He is
married to his second wife and has four
children. Though farmer, he has an
honorable record as legislator, hav-
ing served one term in the lower and
two terms in the upper house of the
Kansas legislature. In addition to
that he was for five years a director of
the state penitentiary and three years
a collector of internal revenue. He is
hale and vigorous, being fifty.t
years old.
Whether or not he will have to en-
counter an opponent in the election
soon to come off, is yet to be decided.

that is visible, the temptation is not
