POLICE BOARD SCORED.
Peppery Letter from Judge Scott to
the Omaha Commissioners.

OMAHA, Neb., April 1.-For two weeks
the Board of Police Commissioners has been
investigating the Omaha police force. Dis
trict Judge Scott has frequently charged
from the bench that the board winked at
lawlessness and he was subpoenaed to tes-
tify on the subject. He refused to do so
and sent the board letter, in which he
said
"You have not now and never had any in
tention of investigating the police depart
ment. You know that and the people know

DEPEW ON EDUCATION.
Address mt the COnvocation of Chica-
go's University.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The convocation of
Chicago University was held in the Audi
torium tonight. Chauncey NJ. Depew de-
livered the address. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Depew said: "The best use
to which wealth can be applied is to assist
these great universities which are educat-
ing the youth of our land. This institution,
which owes its existence to the beneficence
of Rockefeller, is in itself monument of
the proper use of wealth accumulated by
man of genius. So is Vanderbilt and so
are the older colleges, as they have re-
ceived the benefacation of generous, ap-
preciative and patriotic wealth But in view
of the dangers which are about us and of
the difficulties which are before us we cam
not rely upon what the rich may give or
what philanthropiSts or generosity or wis
dom may suggest The State has already
done well in the common schools: it has
done better in the high schools and better
still in the final opportunity which it gives
in many cases for liberal education III

ing higher education if the government had

would be colleges, each having its own
merits and traditions and all leading to'

was pulled and instantly there was a fear

Gooding received the personal thanks of
President Cleveland for what he did in the

West Point and made gallant record on
the Union side during the war, which added
much to his effectiveness as a Democratic
campaign orator. He was particularly
strong in the old soldier communities, and
