STANDS by HIS PLEA.

The Governor Tells the Atchison People
He Can't Enforce the Law.
Governor Morrill, who made a speech
at an emancipation celebration in 1Atchi-
son last night was interviwed by an Atch-
ison reporter on prohibition. The gov
ernor said:
ut seems to me 1 have expressed my
self fully, and in such manner that my
views cannot be misconstrued,
have nothing to regret tor
what l have said. as l believe it was
the common sense view of the situation.
l found the prohibitory law On the stat
ute books, and have honestly tried to
enforce it. but people have only a vague
idea of the power of the governor in
such matters. He has only limited
power, even in the larger cities, where
there are police boards"

Gov. Greenha1ge Says Massachusetts is Not
Prepared For Female Suffrage, Yet.
BosToN, Jan. 2.-Gov. +. T. Green
halge's address was laid before the
houses of the Massachusetts legislature
today. For the most part it treats of
state matters, but towards its close it
contains the following on citizenship
and suffrage: :There are various sug-
gestions as to the mode of improving the
quality of citizenship, among them the
following:
First-Greater care should be exercis-
ed in the administration of naturalization
laws, so far as our state courts are con-
cerned.
Second-A probationary period of resi-
dence after naturalization might be pre-
scribed by constitutional amendment.
Third-While there may be division
of opinion as TO DISTINGUISHING for felony,
as is done in some states, it seems clear
that persons undergoing sentence in
penal institutions should not be permit
ted to vote.
'The decisive vote on woman suffrage
at the recent state election would seem
to show that public opinion will not for
some time be prepared to occept any
radical changes in the established sys.
tenn of suffrage.
"The public mind appears to be grow
ing more and more in favor of biennial
elections and there is no good reason
why the question should not be submit
ted to the people"

AFTER THE CATHOLICS.
Fight in Canadian Parliament to Shut
Catholic Schools Out of Manitoba.


Catholic Schools Out of Manitoba
OTTAWA, Ont, Jan 2.-What promises
to be the most important session of the
Canadian parliament since 1887, when
the provinces confederated, opened to-
day. On the question of schools in
Manitoba, the government is SO seriously
divided as to jeopardize it's stability. In
1890 the legislature of Manitoba passed
bill abolishing separate schools for
Catholic children. The hierarchy of the
province appealed against the bill TO the
imperial privy council, the highest court
in the British empire. The privy coun-
Gil decided thBt the legislature OF Mani
toba was acting within its rights in pass
ing the bill FOR the adjustment of sepa-
rate schools, but last winter another APP
peal was taken on the ground that GER
tain rights held by the province at the
time OF its entering the dominion con-
federation had been violated. This APP
peal resulted in the imperial priyY coun-
Gil leaving discretionary power with the
dominion parliament to aid the Mantle
ba Catholics. 1t is on this ques-
ton that the fate of the present
conservative government hinges.
Ontario me N bers who re present Profess
tant CONSTITUENCIES, and of whom there are
ninety-two, can not vote for the re- estab-
lishment of separate schools and be re-
elected.
In the last four elections three
opposition candidates have been return
ed, and as an indication the government
would be defeated in the house in the
coming session if they carry out their
promise to bring in bill that will super
cede NJ anitoba legislatures act, and that
will re- esta blish Roman Catholic schools.
The population of Manitoba is 100000,
of whom only 10000 are Roman Catho-

consisting of twelve cars to carry the first
edition OF the Christmas number of Nun
sey's Magazine. The casual observer
doesn't realize what an enormous num-
Der of books 100000 copies means, and
yet this remarkable (December) edition
was exhausted in ten days, and excessive
demands for more had to go unsatisfied,
for the simple reason that there were no
more magazines left and it vas mechan-
ically impossible to print more. The
popularity of Munsey's is easily ex-
planned when one stops to consider the
attractiveness of its makeup. The Jan
uary edition is a store of interesting mat
ter for the readers, aud the rush for il is
already taxing the mechanical resources
of the publishers.

From the Atchison Globe:
Charley HANDLE is dead, and Clint
Osbon has just been sentenced to the
penitentiary for twenty-one years. Es-
telle Osbon, the cause of all the trouble
is alive and well, and the especial favor
tie of the Topeka Social Purity club
What has Estelle Osbon paid the i'd
dler?
Charley Handle was one of the
brightest young man in Kansas, living
for time in Atchison, where he at
tended the Monroe institute, He was
regarded as one of the most promising
young lawyers in the west, but was shot
down without warning by Estelle Os-
bon's father, who had the notion that
Handle had ruined his daughter. Dur
ing the trial which resulted in sending
the murderer to the penitentiary for
twenty-one years, there was not the
slightest evidence that Handle had been
intimate with the Osbon girl, although
it came out that she stopped at St. Joe
hotel with a man who was not her hus-
band, registering as man and wife.
There was no gossip in Holton
about Handle and the Osbon girl;
the conclusion is inevitable that
she must have told her father that Ham
bic had betrayed her, and that her pur-
pose was to compel him to marry her, al
though she knew she was not worthy to
be his wife.
Charley HANDLE paid the fiddler a very
big price, although there is nc evidence
that he owed him anything. Old Clint
Osbon has also paid an enormous price
for his dancing.
What has Estelle Osbon paio the fid-
dler: She should be tried as an Access

MOORE Will STAY.

The Leavenworth Shooter Did Not
Take Advantage of an Error to
Leave the Country.
LEAvENwoRTH, Jan. 2-There was
new turn in the case against Crawford
Moore, for shooting Major John NJ. Laing
for interfering with Moore's domestic
affairs.
Moore was under heavy bond to ap-
pear in the district court for trial today.
Moore and his attorneys appeared but
nothing could be done as court was not
in session. Judge MERGERS will now
hear June 6. Moore's bond was not a
continuing one and he is now free on
his own recognizance. It is the general
belief that the errors that led to this
condition of affairs were made purposely
and TO give Moore a chance to travel.
Moore announces that he twill not leave
but is prepared to stand a trial that will
be sensational in the extreme.

OPPOSITION TO LELAND.

Powerful and Active.
The fight Cy Leland has been making
on Congressman Broderck will not aid
him in his candidacy for national COM

especially strong in jackson county and
will no doubt extend all over the first
district when Congressman Broderick's
friends understand the situation.
Z a Hoiton man who has been watching
the Leland fight says:
"a close investigation in Jackson
county shows that Cy Leland;s opposi-
tion to Congressman Broderick has not
met with any considerable amount of
favor in this city and surrounding COM
munity.
ION the other hand it seems that Mr..
Broderick's fellow townsmen are more
ready than ever to express their ap-
prevail of his conduct at Washington
since the beginning of the present ses-
sion of congress.
THE people of Holton feel that Mr..
Broderick is working in the interest of
his constituents, under the dictatorship
of no boss and they want him to CON

GOV. MORRILL, WON'T RUN.
VIII Decline a Nomination For a
Second Term.
HIS REASON WILL BE ILL HEALTH

Although It is Said That Another
More Potent Reason rs the Luke
warmness of Political Friends
If the story told STATE JOURNAL re-
porter by a prominent Kansas RepublI-
can is true, Governor Morrill, will not be
IA candidate for denomination aud will
make an official announcement of his
determination to retire from politics be-
fore the frat state convention is held.
The reasons to be given for the deter
mination of the governor to decline
denomination are that his health has
never been SO poor as since he oo-
lcupied the governors chair, and he IS
convinced he will die in office If he
should have a second term.
Another reason, however, for the de-
termination of the governor to retire
from politics and decline denomination
is that his political friends are abandon
! ing him and he would much rather de-
cline a denomination in advance than
make q fight and lose
An indication of the way the COVER
nor's political friends are going back on
him is shown By the fact that Mr.. S. S.
Benedict of Wilson county came to To
peka last week to tell the governor he
would have to gait.
Mir. Benedict said: Governor you are
inst killing yourself, and if you take a
second term YOU will die in office. This
thing is too much for you, and my advice
TO you would be to quit while you can q.
Now. governor, 1 came here to tell you
I that I do not approve of your attitude on
the enforcement of the prohibitory law
As you know full we'll for twenty five
years l have been your constant friend
have always got out and worked for
you, and never lost an opportunity to
help you when I could, and l have never
asked an appointment or any other favor
at your hands. This must end now; you
cannot DEP end on me any longer"
The gentleman who told the JOURNAL
reporter about this conversation between
Mr. Benedict and the governor says he is
ouly one of many prominent Kansas Re
publican5 who have made similar declar-
atoms during the last few days.
1t is said that the formal announce
ment of the determination Of the gov
ernor 20 decline a denomination is to be
reserved until just before the meeting of
the first state convention. This would
be in the interest OF Cy Leland's caudi-
dacy for national committeeman, as Mr. q.
Leland would then assure mis- friends that
he had succeeded in pulling Morrill, of
and they ought to thank him for 1t.
