to Chief Lindsay and Captain Glsh
Of the Topeka police force for the
privilege of running a JOINT in this
city. We know nothing of the facts
relative to this charge; but there is
strong suspeCion that it is part Of a
scheme to make political capital
locally for the republican party. This
suspicion is strengthened by the
well-known hypocritlcsl policy of
that party at all times, and especially
by the former course of County At
torney Stafford as compared with his
present enthusiasm for the enforce
ment of law. But we have not
started in to make any defense Of the
police. What we desire to say is
that we demand that the case against
Chief Lindsay and Captain Gish be
not permitted to drag its weary
length along until after election, and
then be dismissed by this enthusias-
tic county attorney, but that it be
brought to immediate trial that the
people of this city and county may
know what basis there is for the
charge. If these men are guilty,
they should be removed from Office.
If they are not guilty they should
not rest under q cloud until after
election in order to improve the
chances of the county attorney for
reelection, or manufacture sentiment
for or against any party IN the local
campaign. Bring them to trial,

SIGNS OF DEsPOTIsM.

Among the causes enumerated in
the Declaration of Independence as
justifying the separation OF the colo
MES from the dominion of George
III. are the following:
He has kept among US, in times of peace,
standing armies without the consent Of our
Legislatures.
He has affected TO render the military in
dependent Of, and superior TO, the civil
power.
For deprivlng US, in many cases, Of the
benefits Of trial by jury.
For these, among other things, the
revolutionary fathers declared it to
be not only their right, but their
duty, ito throw of such government,
and to provide new guards for their
future security" The American peo'
pie to-day are subject to precisely
the same acts of tyranny, and the
press Is telling them that they must
tsmely submit without even pro-
test. Protest is anarchy in these
days, though forcible resistance to
the same kind Of despotism in revo-
lutionsry times was patriotism.
