THE HANGMAN OF BUFFALO.


Stuffed Prophets Address to the Police
men of New York.
From Grover Cleyeland's Speech at New York
Police Banquet, January 70.
This exceedingly enjoyable entertainment is
given under the auspices OF our citys police
authorities and officers; and it may well be re-
garded as a meeting of past and present con-
servators OF the peace and their friends. / beg,
therefore, to suggest that nearly twenty years
ago served a term as sheriff of county rank
Ing third in point OF population among the
counties OF the state and that, at later date. |
was for eleven months mayor and police COM
missioner of city bearing the same relation to
the cities of the state.
1t may seem strange to those who know me as
mild and amiable man to learn that in the
latter capacity my chief duty was to administer
reouke and eensure to such members OF our po-
lice force as were convicted OF violations of the
rules OF the department. OF course, claim the
benefit of the presumption that this distasteful
and uncongenial duty was well and thoroughly
performed. so far as my shrievalty is con-
cerned, / may say by way of magnifying my
claim for recognition here, that not only held
the office and performed its duties, but l have
since suffered more or less abuse on account
oft.
Not many wears ago, during national politi-
cal campaign, q female orator was employed to
go about the country imploring the electors OF
the land to withhold their suffrages from the
Buffalo hangman." You must agree with me
that this was quite dreadful. II makes me shud-
uSl W Thai perhaps THIS lSlQalS euOrtS
may have had much to do with disastrous re-
suit.
But after all, there is grain of comfort in the
reflection that this thing was done in the heat
of political contest and by one ayowedly in the
employ of political adversaries. There was
also, believe, some uncomplimentary reference
to the office of sheriff or deputy sheriff in the
newspapers. This, of course, is sad
enough. But even such wounds may be
healed; and then, too, we must remem-
Der that something should be conceded to
that inestimable boon-the freedom of the
press-of which our country boasts. But though
my term Of office as sheriff expired SO long ago
that might plead the statute OF limitations,
desire 10 stand with ex-Sheriff Grant, with ex-
Sheriff Sickles and with Sheriff German in de-
Tense OF one OF the Oldest Offices known to civili-
cation, and one which, If faithfully admins
tered, cannot fail TO reflect credit aud honor
upon its incumbent. When we see a graduate
from the Office OF sheriff twice elected 10 the
chief magstracy of this the largest and best city
in the United States, and see 1t demonstrated
that an ex-sheriff is not debarred from the at
tainment OF even higher honors, we can afford
10 ridicllle all efforts TO belittle shreyaIty and
laugh at every attempt TO rob Us OF the satisfae-
ton we derive from the consciousness of an
honest performance Of its important duties.

Indorse Checks on the Stub End.
Providence Journal

At a national bank Wednesday the following
conversation occurred: Said the visitor, pre-
senting the check just endorsed: ~ see by the
papers that bank officials complain people do
ing business at their banks don't know on which
end of a check TO indorse it. Now, should
think any fool would know that"
(Which end do you indorsef' said the cashier
ssWhy, this end, of course" poking an in
dorsed check through the wicket. There il was,
wrong, of course, Endorsed on what would be
the right hand end when the face OF the check
lay up. SO that the cashier would have TO read
the name backward, from the end of the check
he couldn't see when fled away.
ssIt's strange" said the official 81 take a
check when handed in, read the face, hand it
out, turning it right and indicating exactly
where 10 write the signature, and people invari-
iably turn il around, reversing the ends, and
then write the name"
Why don't you tell them il is wrong?"
swell, it's our business 70 be polite, and not 70
tell people their business; you can tell them
through the press if you want to. II would save
trouble il they knew.

ERUPTION IN SPAIN.
Republican Parade With Many
Enthusiastic Speeches.
SOLDIERS CHARGE THE CROWD.
Barcelona Terribly Excited By the In
temperate Action Of the Govern
ment Omcers and Troops.

BARCELONA, Feb. 5.-The revolutionary spirit
smouldsring through Spain nearly burst into
fame in this city today. There was peaceful
demonstration in which there was parade and
speeches in favor OF the Republican leader,
Don Nicholas Selemoron Alfonso, during
which the crowds became somewhat excited.
This seems to have alarmed the officer In charge,
and mounted gendarmes were detailed
70 maintain order. He lost his head and or
dered the gendarmes TO charge the crowd. They
did so at gailop, firing pistols and carbines
right and left. The result was that several per-
sons were more or less dangerously wounded.
This deeply enraged the people, but the crowd
dispersed without any open act OF retaliation.
II Is understood that the government will be
asked TO order an inquiry into the conduct of
the officer in charge OF the gendarmes- Salem-
oron's friends claim that bullet marks around
the window from which he was speaking show
that the gendarmes tried TO shot him.
MADRID, FEB. 5.-The Epoco endeavors to MINI
inize the importance OF the affair in Barcelona
today. 1t says that few police dispersed an
unauthorized meeting of Republicans, and that
the published accounts were exaggerated.
MADRID, Feb. 5.-A dispatch reports riofing in
number of towns tonight. A Liberal Carlist
riot occurred at Logrono AZ Hsro d Cariist club
was wrecked. There was serious rioting at
saEte Domingo and CalZada, where many per-
sons were injured

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-Chancellor Won Caprivi. in
the reiehstag today, defending the African
policy of the government, said it followed the
lines laid down by Bismarck, who once declared
that Lord Salisbury's friendship was worth
more than the entire coast north of With. Con-
tinuing, the chancellor said:
sour efforts are now directed toward develop
ing what we possess. We are beginning from
the coast and not from the lakes. We shall have
trouble and trials for long time TO
come, yet nothing need deter US from
the work. Regarding the slave question We
must consider the feeling of the coast popula-
East Africa. There is still ample scope for Wis
mann and Emin as subordinates to Soden.''
Herr Richter approved the treaty with Eng
land, but doubted the wisdom OF the policy of
limiting German developments TO strip along
the coast. The government ought to clear up
the difference between Wismann and Emin.
Won Caprivi stated that ii was the emperor
himself who instructed the chancellor on May
2, 1890, to arrange an agreement with England
with reference TO colonial affairs. The emperor
fully explained the points involved. The basis
of the negotiations, he said, conferred in East
Africa. The interior was TO be abandoned, and
Zanzibar, where Engiands claims are para
mount, were to be surrendered in return for
English recognition OF Germany's claims to the
East African coast.
The chancellor declared the dispute between
wissnann and En- in not ripe for discussion.
He regretted that Wissman had been judged I'M
favorably. Germans in Africa owed success to
Wissmann above all.
General Won Witch succeeds waldersee as
chief general OF the staff.

Jerry Simpson at Topeka.

During this roll call the most ilustrious
son of the Sunhower state was placed upon
exhibition. Jerry Simpson "looked over
the assemblage through gold-bowed
spectacles. He is slight OF figure,
and his face tanned and saliow
as it is keen and bright. His hair is
dark, and heightens the sallow aspect of
his eountenance. All that was farmer
like about him was the old, faded, spring
overcoat he wore. His neat, black tie and
clerical-looking collar gave him rather the
appearance OF clergyman, and he laughs
derisively at the stories told of his sock
lessness."
