Mr.. Boyle will make an able and en-
ergetic fight for the rights Of the miners.
He has taken a criminal prosecution as
the quickest means of arriving at a de-
clsion, he goes into the fight with the
determination of winning, and he will
push the cases to a final decision with
all possible celerity. The opposing coun-
sci Will stand upon technical grounds,
attacking the constitutionality of the
statute. 1t will depend upon their power
to read into the constitution an inter
probation which was never intended for
1t, as has Deen done heretofore, whether
the right of freedom shall be granted to
the miners Of this State or not. 1t will
not be Mr.. Boyles fault If they are sue

attempted enforcement Of this system.
1t is not his business to assist city coun-
ellis in the administration of local affairs.
He has more important work to look
after. Put the police officials under d.
rect control OF the city wnere they be-
long, and there will be more satisfactory
service to the locality and less COM
plaint about the State government over
troubles which no human ingenuity can
smooth out under the present arrange
ment. Governor Leedy should see that
prompt action in this matter would
help his party politically, as well as solve
a perplexing personal problem.

GOVERNOR LEEDY's N4sTAKE.

Governor Leedy is making a mistake
III not bringing about the abolishment of
the miserable metropolitan police sys-
tenn at once. He has given evidence OF
being Governor with some backbone,
and ought to see that there is now an
excellent opportunity for utilizing that
part Of his anatomy. The present police
system is all wrong from almost any
standpoint 1t is delegatlng to the State
government the control of matters which
are purely for local treatment. This
causes dissatisfaction. There is not a
city in Kansas which comes under the
operation of the metropolitan police sys-
TEN which has ever been pleased with
this method. 1t is the same old story,
and no Governor, however competent he
may be. has the ability to prevent
trouble from 1t for his administration

The Socialist Labor party is said TO
be making converts In parts OF this
State. If 1t is strictly in accord with the
principles of the Socialist Labor party
Of the East it will not have much per-
manence, for its doctrines are too mar
row to give 1t stability. The Socialist
Labor party is better able to exist in
Europe. It's attacks upon trades unions
and Its narrow doctrine of hatred have
prevented it from making any real en-
during headway in the United States.
In Kansas it will probably be absorbed
in time by the Social Democracy or some
other more advanced movement. Be-
tween the ethics of true Christianity
not that sort which is crowded out by
business six days in the week and hid
den by good clothes on the other day
and those of true socialism-that which
is constructive and not destructive
there is Of course no difference, and the
doctrines of the Socialist Labor people
seem to be very far removed from any
thing like Christianity.

THE FIGHT AT FORT SCOTT.

ThE M EOhA pOVAA
Attorney General Boyle will enter to-
morrow upon a combat In which the
rights Of citizens of this country to their
own freedom is concerned in as great
measure as in any war that has been
fought on this continent. The miners
of this country have virtually been
slaves wherever the Infamous truck"
or "pluck-me" system has existed, and in
fact their condition has been worse than
slavery, for they have not been allowed
to make a bare living. They have been
robbed and oppressed by the mine opera
tors until the freedom Of the country
in which they live has become worse
than mockery to them.
Some weeks ago the Kansas News pub
lished reliable information about the
starving condition of the miners In In
diana. Here is a late statement about
the destitutlon of the Illinois miners at
Spring Valley, told last week by Rev.
William V. Brown, of'that place, to the
Chicago Federation of Labor:
Il have never seen a truer, nobler,
patient, quieter body of men in conflict
with corporate greed than the miners
OF Spring Valley and other sections,
where they have been out since last July.
| have not seen drunken man on the
streets Of Spring Valley since the trouble
began. have gone into their homes and
seen how they live, and want to say to
hnk of, ho 40
scribed. A short time ago | visited
gOung man who was sick. AS was leav-
ing asked the doctor what was the
matter with him, and he replied that
the patient was dying from starvation,
and that unless he was given food the
end was not far off. This man Is now
being fed by the wife of an engineer who
Is only working half time himself
I'm another house found woman
with baby. The little ones eyes were
sunken and its body emaciated, and to
inquiries the mother replied that she had
no food for herself, and consequently
could not give nOurishment to the child.
One morning, as some of the men were
passing my church, one of them fell
from sheer exhaustion. The top of his
that he had piece OF dry bread in the
top and water in the lower section OF
the pail.
In strong contrast to a Spring Valley
manager Is Mr.. Devlin, Of the mines at
Toluca, He advanced his men money
with which to assist their comrades on
strike, and gave to the Spring Valley
men a ton of coal each. The Spring
Valley manager notified the men that
they must return to work last Thursday,
hut none of them put in an appearance
They have also been notified to pay their
X rent. What does that mean? Eviction;
but tell you when that begins there will
be trouble"
When such things come to pass there
is certainly crying need for an imme-
dlate change. The fight at Fort Scott

Revise the School Tax Laws.

The tax collection notices are appear
ing in our exchanges, and we have
thrust before us every week the iniqui-
tous inequalities of our unique school
tax laws. In the county of Washington,
for instance, the rate ranges from to
3O1s mills on each 81 of valuation; in
Woodson, from l to 20; in Reno, from
8 to 80; in Shawnee, from to q. Where
is the man who will dare to say that it
is in accordance with the eternal prin-
ciples of justice to force one community
to pay nine times more school taxes than
another--both living in the same county,
and supposed to be living under con-
stitution which guarantees equal and

was arrested by the officers of the

This will be the first legal execu-

IEFNER MAKES \ SPEECH.
His Theme Silver: the Iowa Popu-
list Convention the Place.

" convention mere 10 dbN which
was largely attended, about 80
counties being represented.
If recent discoveries of fresh
gold mines should prove to be as
valuable as present appearances
indicate, the silver question may
soon be wholly eliminated from
Republican discussions, except,
perhaps, as to those persons whose
indi vidual interests are at stake.
Silver Republicans want more
metallic money and they would be
satisfied with gold if there is
enough of it. 1t is proposed that
the Populist party shall do two
things, limit the range of our dis
cussions to the silver branch of
the money question and ally our
selves with the Democratic party.
These are the propositions on
which we are divided. am OBJ
posed to both of them. do not
wish to see the peoples party
merged in any other existing or
ganization al d especially in one
too old to be useful. Nor am |
willing without warming and pro
tcstation to sec il made the foot
ball of politicians and bartercd
away the spoil.
The alliance with the Demo.
cratic party in 1896 was only for
the campaign. Now, then, we
may not be quite ourselves again
and in our right mind, we are
free to determine our affairs in
our own way as party and as
1t may be urged
that the Democratic party has
changed its policy in respect to
the coinage ratio. l deny it.
The platform utterance Is merely
Observation-Disclosures to catch
the Populist vote. The responsi.
bile men of the Democratic uarty
have not been and are not now
tenacious about the ratio. Its
for the presidency and
his associate on the ticket would,
as l verify believe, consent to any
compromise that would secure the
unlimited coinage of silver. No
benefit would accrue to ANYBODY
but the money changers and
spectators from increasing the
coinage ratio, and Populists sec
no reason why money that is good
enough for common people Is not
equally good for uncommon peo-
pie. There is nothing in the
Democratic platform or in that
party's policy which is in any
way responsive to the pressing
demand of the working classes.
The coinage of silver and an
income tax are the only matters
about which the Democratic and
Populist parties are even approx
in accord. AS to all mat
ters which Populists regard as
fundamental and as of surpasslng
Importance, we are not only in
accord, but are positively opposed
to each other.
