Special Services.

At st. Andrews Cathedral yester-
day Revs Alexander Macintosh and
John osborne spoke feelingly of the
death of Commissioner Halves.
Rev. osborne, in the course of his
remarks, said he had talked with the
deceased four weeks ago, and at that
time he remarked that he would be
back again in Honolulu on August 18th.
By a strange fatality the Commission
er's body reached here on that day.
During the services yesterday there
was special music, and the lestern,
pulpit and the pew usually occupied
by the deceased, were draped with
British flags, looped with crepe.

PROHIBITION DEMOCRATS.

1t is announced from Topeka tina
Governor Leedy is in favor Of the Met
ropolitan police commissions in the cit
les of the first class. Formerly Gov
ernOr Leedy was against these commis
sions. He confesses this and adds tina
since becoming governor he has recog
nized the beauties Of the system.
The system has no beauties. 1t is a
pernicious vehicle for agitators and mis-
chiefmakers, who, when idle, mount il
TO torment a community into Mysteries.
The circumstance that the system is
running along without continued fierce
criticism does not indicate that it has
gained the favor of the people. All its
old fertility for trouble is fully apprecI-
ated and the people Of the whole state
would like to see it relegated. But
Leedy Will not relegate it. 1t gives him
power over local politicians. In turn it
gives the local politicians power over
the jointists, and this chain of political
control Is valuable, too valuable for q
governor who wants a reelection to
surrender.
The Democrats Of Kansas, strangely,
are not in favor Of its repeal They
might have had 1t repealed long ago,
but they also had Use for it. One OF
their latest uses for the system IL the
compelling Of joint keepers and their
followers to support PrOhibitionists
The idea Of Democrats nominating a
Prohibitionist seems ridiculous, but it
is being done in more than one county
and for more than one office. The
scheme is TO have the Democrats sup
Port Prohibltionist because he is
Popocratic nominee, the Prohibitionists
support him because he is Prohibition
ist and the jOintists support him be-
cause the police commission Will make
them do it.
By this maneuver the Democrats hope
to unite a sufficient number of elements
to elect a man whom they can control.
Such thing is possible only in Kan
sas and it is possible only in Kansas be-
cause long practice Of fusion has
wiped away all idea of principle in the
Popocratic party. Democrats will vote
for a Prohibitionist because the local
boss commands them to vote for him. |
The principle the Prohibitionst main |
tains is obnoxious, but what is great |
principle as against the narrow, selfish |
wish of the party schemer?
Governor Leedy has not learned the |
beauties of the police system which robs
Wichita and other first class cities of |
home rule; he has learned the political
wires which hang to it and which,
when pulled, force men through threats,
to support candidates with whom they
do not agree in principle and with
whom they have nothing politically in
common.

evident that economy was used in that
branch of the work.

evident that economy was used in that
branch Of the work.
Summed up, and reduced to simple
statement of fact, it was one Of the
many jobs put upon the people of Kan
sas by that aggregation Of numbskulls
who deliberately went to work in To
peka last winter to pillage the state for
individual gain. Their ostensible pur-
pose was to make better laws. Their
real design was to make every dollar in
sight before the session closed. This
school book grab was only one of many.
Other bills, equally absurd and useless,
have become laws, and the people have
no alternative but TO foot the bills.
What the state will suffer in reputation
and how long it may be before she may
recover her fair prestige, God only
knows. These laws are fastened upon
us as the first fruits of Populism-a
name and a party which will go into
history as the synonym Of Doodle by
h91lot

THAT SCHOOL BOOK FRAUD

Since the opening Of the fall term %
schools there has been a veritable con-
cert Of protests against the new text
books all over the state Whatever
opinions may have prevailed concern
ing the merits of the new books. it is
the use of them that brings the test. The
first difficulty which confronts both
teacher and scholar comes with the sub
stitutiOn of the new for the old series.
This involves comparison, and the
teachers, having no favoritisms, will
most assuredly put each edition on it's
merits AS the reports come in, we find
they have already done this. Almost
without exception the verdict is that the
new series is far below the standard Of
the old. The defects have been pointed
out in these columns before. and we
need only mention that in the readers,
the selections are i'll suited to the pur-
pose. The matter is antiquated and the
arrangement faulty. Separate lessons
are SO poorly designated by distinctive
marks that only an expert readily OBJ
serves where lessons are divided. This
defect in mechanism shows that the
readers were not made 10y boOkmakers.
1t is quite within bounds to say that .as
history is traveSty on a text book for
school purposes. There is neither accur-
acy, system or the last exhibition of
technical knowledge in the compilation
Of matter. 1t is the work of a novice.
or worse than that. an author or authors
who sought 10 pervert plain facts of
history which should have a place in
every school history in the country.
The illustrations are simply execrable.
There is not 4 child of school age in
Kansas who will not see that the clum-
sy old wood cuts are repulsive. In this
day of object teaching through the me-
dunn of art engravinss. every teacher
will see al a glance what is lost by sub |
shutting these ugly daubs for illustra- |
tons of merit.
SO We might enumerate. and so every |
teacher. scholar and parent will observe |
the defects in this abortion of a school /
series. put upon the stale, bun this is not 1
the worst of il Had it been a we'll /
meant endeavor to improve upon the old /
text books which failed through the in
competence of authors and publishers.
there would have been room for charity
al least, but il was more than that. II
was deliberately planned scheme To
monopolize the publication of the school
books for the entire state for the beue-
hi and profit of few men. Under the
clever guise of fighting some imaginary
book trust, which did not exist. the bill
authorizing this commission was intro
duced and put through II the last ses-
sion Of the legislature. not because
there was any earthly use for a change
IN books, but for the simple purpose
above named The best possible proof
OF this Is seen in the cheap workman
ship, the shoddy material used. and the
want of talent used in the authorship
of these books. Talent in this line
commands wages, and it is too plainly

PoPuLISM,s NEW LEADERS.

Evidently the new leaders Of Popu
lism believe that localized schemes and
individual ambitions will prevail
against a great national principle.
What is left of the Popocratic party
today are localized schemes and individ-
ual ambitions. For years the Demo
Gratis had great national principle. 1t
dominated the party. 1t drew men into
the ranks and held them, consolidating
the party into a magnificent national
unit. That organization went down
when the larger portion Of it trailed af-
ter Populism and accepted those Popu-
list principles which at best last but
year and are then dropped unceremoni-
ollsly Today the cement Of no great
principle holds together the members OF
the Popocratic party. Free silver did so
in a measure last year, but the PETERS
and Bosses and Leases have deserted
free silver. There seems nothing for
the Populist and Democratic managers
to do but to localize their campaigns, to
make Tom a promise and Dick a pledge
and give Harry an assurance; their
whole force must be confined TO unit
Ing for battle the personal enemies of
the opposition's candidates, the men
with born prejudice against the Re-
publican party and those lack-principle
doaters in political life who can be
gained by any side with promises of fu-
ture preferment 1t is the effort Of the
new Populist bosses to collect sufficient
force through these channels to stand
up against the Republican party, made
cp Of men who are Republicans because
they believe in certain great principles. !
There can be no question about the |
ultimate result of such contest. While |
no one for an instant may claim free
dom from selfishnesS for their party, |
still II must be patent to every one that /
a party, the spirit Of which and the |
agency of whose unification is a princi-
pie, must inevitably overcome a party
whose organization depends on the I'M
certain, feeble glue Of every mans self
ishness or prejudice.
There will always be two great par
ties in this country. One is now in ex-
cellent organization and full of strength
The other is to come from the Populist
or Democratic party, or from both
united, but it will never come so long as
its local bosses forget every word of
principle 10 their following and seek TO
win By a simple appeal to individual
selfiShneSs in men.
The fault is in the new leaders of
Populism. The old leaders, who have
been thrown out all over Kansas during
the last two years were infinitely wiser
than the schemers who have succeeded
them, and so long as they had the DOW
er welded their forces together by keep
ing paramount some great principle
The new leaders, on the other hand, are
leading their party to destruction, with
the idea that no man is in politics ex-
cept for private gain, and that political.
principle is a myth and a Shar-
