Columbus Day Proolamation.
GovERNoR's &C.

GovERNoR's OFFICE,
Topeka. September II. 1892
The president of the United States,
in honor Of the four hundredth ami
versary of the discovery Of America,
has designated Friday, October q,
1892, as a general holiday.
The Worlds Congress Auxiliary of
the Worlds Columbian exposition
has made a patriotic suggestion, that
at the same time that the exposition
grounds OF Chicago are being dedi-
cated-on October q, 1892, the ami
versary of the discovery of America
all the people of the United States
unite IN a celebration of the anniYer-
sary, of which celebration the public
schools Of the republic be everywhere
the center.
To the pubic school belong the
duty and the privilege of leading in
this celebration of the finding of
America. For many reasons the pub
lie school is the proper leader for
such celebration. It is the one in
stitution which binds in common in
terest the people of a community, and
which links together the communities
of a commonwealth. It is the great
est product of four hundred years of
American history. It is the factor
which has been most potent in max
ing of our nation and our state what
they are today. No other institution
is so intimately connected with the
welfare of all the people. No other
institution has in its keeping so much
of hope and promise for the future of
our country.
No state has public school system
better planned than our own. For
no state has free public education
done more than it has for Kansas.
By no people are the public schools
more highly appreciated or more gen
erously supported than by the citi-
zens of our state.
Now, therefore, I, Lyman q. Hum
phEey, governor of the state of Kan
sas, in accordance with the proclama-
ton of the president of the United
States, do recommend that Friday,
October 81, 1892, be observed as a
public holiday, by appropriate exer-
cises at the different school houses
in our state, to the end that our youth
may be inspired with true appreci-
alton of the destiny of our nation and
state, and that they may thus be
taught enduring lessons of such cour-
ageous perseverance as brought sue
cess and lasting fame to the great
dIscoVerer; that they may be taught
impressive lessons of loyalty to then
country and love for their country'G
fag-for the flag that, on Columbus
day, ought to float over every schoo
house IN the land.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to b.
affixed the great seal of the state O
Kansas.
Done at the city of Topeka, the da!
and year first above written.
By the governor:

Mayor Carroll Removes
New Officers.
WAS QUITE A SURPRISE.
Chief Perry's Letter Of Instruction
from the Chief Magistrate.

Mayor Carroll arrived home from
Chicago this morning. Shortly after ar
irving in the city he went to the City
Hall and instructed the City Clerk to
prepare docket of the business which
was acted upon by the City Council dur
ing the past week.
A representative Of the TRIBUNE found
Mayor Carroll in his Office this afternoon
looking not the least exhausted by his
iatiguing experience at the Chicago Con-
vention. lie said ho had proposed to at
tend the roll call at police headquarters
this evening, but had written an order tt
Chief of Police Perry, suspending The
ten newly appointed police officers, TO be
read at roll call this evening.
"This action was taken," he said, "to
prevent any such claims as that OF Thomas
Mackel, coming against the city as a
legacy from his administration.
"It's a small piece of trickery, that a
few men in the City Council should hold
meetings and attemp to carry out meas
ures, as has been passed upon. Aldermen
Davis and Miller, both promised me, che
said," that they would not attempt to do
anything OF this kind while | was away
from the city.
"The appointment Of policemen espec-
tally surprised the Mayor because Alder
man Davis approached him a short time
ago and said he would agree to an increase
of ten men on the force il each Alderman
was allowed TO name one man."
The Mayor agreed to this proposition
and he feels that the public will say that
he was justified in presuming that the
Aldermen were honest and meant what
they said.
Mayor Carroll docs not feel at all dis
turbed at any action taken in his absence
and says that matters Will straighten
themselves out in. a short time.
Chief Perry was completely surprised
when he received the Mayors letter noti-
flying him of the suspension of the newly
appointed officers.

Evsryihing Points To q Successful Agri-
cultural aud Misunderstanding Season.
New YORK, June OR G.. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review OF Trade says another
week has blessed the country with great
Improvement in the growing crops. In
wheat so great change of condition ap-
pears, that men begin to question whether
the yield this year will not closely ap-
proxinate the unprecedented crop of 1891
For other grain and cotton the outlook is
decidedly better and there is reason now
to hope for highly satisfactory results
from this year agriculture. Inconscquence
there is stronger trade throughout the
country, esp cially at western centers OF
distribution. The Improvement is less
marked at the south, owing to the very
low price of cotton and continued high
water In some regions. One point Of anx-
iety In regard To the wage dispute In the
iron manufacture, operates for the pres
ent to cause increased trade. while In
other great industries the situation Is
clearly more favorable than usual.
