MADE A STARTLING CONFESSION.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Policeman August E. Thorne, formerly of Ex-Captain Stephenson Leonard street squad, has confessed. He was held in S75OO bail yes- terday for perjury, and kept in the Tombs all night. This morning he expressed desire to confess to Assistant District At torney Lindsey. To him he made full con fession of all he knew of the police bribery. The revelations made by Thorne' are of astounding character. Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre, who left Mir. Lindsey's office about 2 o'clock, said to a group of waiting reporters that he never heard anything like what Thorne has made known. The indicted police man has made clean breast of the Ste- phenson story. Ia addition to this he gave a complete statement regarding blackmail and corruption in the police de. partment. He told of the system. it is said, that has been in vogue of making collections from every source where the tribute has been levied aud will, as far as he knows, tell where the money has gone. Thorne has been on the force six years.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The police com missioners have restored Captain Creedon to duty temporarily. Commissioner Shee- han voted against it. The opinion was freely expressed thismorning by those in po- lice circles that numb Der of police captains were prepared, now that Captain Creedon had led the way, to go on the stand before the Lexow commissioners and tell what they know about the way their appoint ments were secured.
 This opinion became in the criminal court building something more than a rumor. It is stated with a degree of au- thority that at least two captains, and pos sibly three or four, stood ready to testify. It was even said that in at least one case arran gementa had been fnllY made.

We have also completed the pur- chase of our Spring line of piece goods, same having been bought under the operations of the new tariff bill, which takes effect January 1.

PIP. HEREsIEs.

The third party, misnamed peo-
pies party, as we have often said,
IS full of heresies. It's platform is
made up partially Of heresies,
and its leaders, speakers, writers
and office holders, are saturated
With heresies. Below we extract a
lew of these heresies for the public
consideration, and ask the Popu-
lists if they can defend them:
P, P. Representatives in Congress
are introducing all sorts of bills for
extravagant appropriation of special
classes. Senator PETER now has a
Dill before the Senate asking an APP
preparation of sixty-five million dol
airs for the paupers of the United
States, which according<to stats
les, would be $1,000 each for every
oauper in the land. If such legis-
alton could be secured what an in
lucement it would be to pauperism
If such men as PETER had control of
his government they would bank,
'upt it in twenty-four hours. Not
many months ago this man intro
luced a bill to loan the farmers of
Indiana one hundred million dollars,
and he, with his colleague,
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, opposes
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill
because it takes the protective tar
fl off the sugar beet industry of
Kansas. In the house of Congress
not many months ago out of ten
third party members seven voted to
Increase the pensions of the federal
soldiers one hundred and ten mill
ON dollars, and Just the other day
Congressman Davis, a populist Of
Kansas, introduced bill in Con-
gress asking an appropriation of
fifty million dollars for Coxey's army
Of tramps, yet these are the fell
lows who claim to be opposed to all
class legislation, and to extrava-
gance in government, They are
The fellows who holler themselves
hoarse about the tax-burdened
people, and yet they seek to fasten
upon them greater burdens by Civ
ing to certain classes and interests
hundreds of millions of dollars
Such shameful mockery of true
economy and reform should be
1rowned down by every man who
loves honesty and consistency in all
men
