PUT HIS FOOT IN 1T.

Governor Leedy was warned, con-
tinuously, from the time OF MS elec-
ton to his induction into Office, that the
people, in the majority Of the larger
cities of Kansas, are imbued too deeply
with the American idea of home rule
ever to be content under the rule OF
a police commission appointed from the
outside. II was pointed out to him
that no matter how hard he might try
TO do the right thing, or how conserv-
atively he might act, the fact would
remain that the average city would
not brook being ruled from Topeka. II
was made plain to him that but for the
discomfort which had been brought
about in the Republican ranks by this
commission rule and that growing out
of the prohibitory law he would never
have been elected. 1t was shown him
that all the troubles of Martins admin
istration aud those of Humphreys
largely grew out of this interference
with the right of a rule which en-
bodies the national life and all that is
distinctive in a government by the peo-
pie. Morrilrs troubles and overthrow
were in direct evidence. But Leedy
has proved the politician that he is,
truculent and cowardly, rather than
the statesman which he poses. Topeka
has been the only town in which trou-
bic did not exist over the police COM
mission policy. But now Mr.. Leedy
gets it from the least expected quar-
ter and he will be forced 10 remove
men of his own choice or otherwise
become the target Of unlimited abuse.
But whichever way, Ii will prove los
ing game for him in the end. Had he
abolished the commissions, leaving each
city. as is left 10 every town in the
state, to govern itself. he would have
made hundred friends where he has
one in appointing couple of dozen
men to official position.

TOPEKA'S TROUBLE.

Notwithstanding the fact that ours Is
Z government of politicians, a govern
ment for politicians and a government
by politicians, the people have some
thing to say, in a way, now and then,
and public sentiment cuts quite
swsth at times. Topeka politicians cru
cited old man Morrill, because be, as
the states chief executive, declared that
no law could be enforced in opposition
to pubic sentiment These Topeka pol
iticians, backed by Topeka papers, de-
clared that the only reason why the
prohibitory law was not enforced In
Wichita, in Atchison, in Leavenworth
and in Kansas City. Kansas, was De-
calrse of the rottenness of their officials
and the moral fiacidity Of their peo-
ples respectively. Having so delivered
themselves these papers and politicians
would then call the attention OF the peo-
nile no Topeka and to the resolute and
effective manner in which the prohlb-
tory law was enforced in that city
The traffic behind drug store prescrip-
ton cases and through hotel bootleg
ging for which that town has been no
torious. did not count, or were at least
excusabIe in the capital Of the state,
such violation of the law being not up
on the part Of the law-abiding' people
of Topeka, but was being encouraged
and sustained only by the representa-
i've men OF the state at large, present
at Topeka on official business.
News now reaches us from Topeka
that the omen saloon has put in its ap-
pearance in that town. On the heels
of this announcement comes anotller 10
the effect that the papers, politicians
and preachers are holding public indlg-
nation meetings for the purpose OF
arousing public sentiment AT these
meetings mob violence has been threat
ened. thus proposing to enforce one law
by violating all law. If public senti-
ment is not necessary to the enforce
ment of law, why these meetings,
these appeals to public conscience, these
exhortations to outlawry!
If it should prove true that Topeka
has not changed her opinion as to the
prohibitory law, that her good people
are still in a majority, there VIII be
found little trouble in driving the traf-
fic back to the drug stores and Doot-
legs But upon the other hand, IL II
should be developed now. or later on
that the papers and politicians OF that
Town do not represent the majority con-
1.;ction as TO the desirableness OF the
prohibition law, all the meetings that
can be held by the minority and all
the mob law to which they may resort
will not enforce the law. Not only
that. but the saloon will soon become
to be officially recognized In so lar
that their proprietors will be COMPEL
ed to contribute regularly to the reve-
nues of the city.
Topeka, Topeka papers, Topeka poll
ticians and preachers have frothed ana
torn their hair over the delinquencies
of rum-soaked Wichita, but we predict
that Topeka nor her people Will ever
make half the effort nor spend one
fourth the money that the people OF
Wichita have to enforce this law
against a majority sentiment

IT WAS ONLY BANKRUPTCY.

Ex-President Cleveland's scold be-
cause the Republicans have FASTENED
to carry out their pledges for the enact
ment of a protective tariff law has led
somebody to recall the incidents OF the
- months which elapsed between Mr..
Cleveland's Inauguration. in 1888. and
the enactment of the tariff law which
his party had promised in the plat
form upon which he was elected. Here
are a few of them: business failures,
s22.41S. with total liabilities amounting
to S521. AS, S53; railroads thrown into
the hands of receivers 50. with total
indebtedness of S1,S73, 0O0, 600; loss on
wages to persons thrown out OF en-
ployment by strikes and lockouts. $45,-
DOC. 900; banks failed, S43; strikes IN

want to see the record of these fear
full 10 months repeated? He must
know that it is impossible for manu-
facturers to resume activity or bust
ness to revive pending a change in the
tariff, and that his demands that the
party In power delay its promised ac-
ton on this subject would be liable
to duplicate the terrible experience of
his administration.
