KANSAS POPULISTS.
State Officer Renominated and Plat
form Adopted.

Topeka, Kan, June 16.-Shortly after
noon today the Populist state convention,
after long debate, adopted a resolution
demanding the immediate suspension of
the metropolitan police law and It's repeal
by the next legislature. The vote was
go to 322.
The conference committee reported that
the Democrats demanded the place of
lieutenant governor and some minor
place" on the ticket. The convention re-
fused to give more than the lieutenant
governorship to the Democrats, and took
up the discussion of the platform. The
action of last night in throwing out the
plank demanding state control of the
Kansas City StockyardS was reconSidered
and the plank reinserted by unanimous
vote.
The present state officers, which were
renominated by the PopuliSt state con-
vention and endorsed by the Democratic
state convention at Atchison, are:
Governor, J. W. Leedy; lieutenant gov
ernor, A. NJ. Harvey; associate justice, H.
S. Allen; attorney general, l.. c. Boyle;
auditor of state. w. II. Morris: secretary
D. H. Hefiebower; superintendent of pub
lie instruction, William Stryker; con-
gresham at large, J. d. Botkin.
The platform as whole is purely So
cialistic. 1t demands the adoption of the
initiative and referendum system and
provision for proportional representa- ton;
the establishment of state stockyards,
under such regulations as will prevent the
fixing of prices by spectators and COM
mission men and securing TO the people
the benefits of an open market; a state
insurance; the public ownership of all
public utilities, and the public ownership
and operation of ali monopolies. and a
constitutional convention to correct ex-
listing defects Immediately.
On national issues, the platform de-
mands the free coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to l, and the issuing of
greenbacks, instead of Understanding
bonds, for the expense of carrying on the
war.

CONFEDERATE REUNION.

The reunion of United Confederate
veterans in Charleston, on May 10
1899, promises to be the biggest thing
of the kind that has yet taken place
At least that is what the people o.
Charleston intend to make of it if they
can, and the people of Charleston
have a way of doing pretty nearly
everything they set out to do. 90.
One thing the executive committee
has in view, is the raising of about
$25 900 in cash. 1t is the intention
that most of this money shall be rails
ed in Charleston, and all of it is to bt
used for the purpose of making the
visiting veterans enjoy themselves.
But while Charleston is willing to dc
her full share and more, the executive
committee does not expect her to do il
all. In a very large sense the reunion
is state, rather than local affair
and it has been decided to call upon
the state at large to help provide fol
the entertainment of the veterans.
The necessary organization to raise
contributions has not yet been com.
pleted. 1t has only been planned
People all over the state will be asked
to contribute whatever they can in the
shape of corn, meat, -four, chickens
turkeys, beeves, butter, eggs, etc. In
fact, any and everything that is good
to eat will be acceptable. To take
charge of these contributions, the
ladies of Charleston will soon organize
a commissary department, and it is
expected that when the time comes
all the veterans who 90 to Charleston
will be entertained either free of charge
or at very trifling expense to each.
York county will soon be called upon
to make her share of the contributions
There will be committees, very proba'
bly,, in each and every section, and il
York fails to come up to expectations
in the matter, there will be occasion
for considerable surprise.

The NEED OF The ARMY.
General Corbin Indicates the Disposition
Of 100000 Soldiers.

General Corbin Indicates the Disposttion
OF 100000 Soldiers.
Adjutant General Corbin appeared
last Wednesday before the house com
mittee on military affairs, says u
Washington dispatch. His statements
attracted unusual interest because of
their direct reference to conditions in
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines
and the military requirements on which
the war department was acting.
As to the need of an increased army,
General Corbin said that was most
serious proposition.
He proceeded "The Cuban evacua-
ton commission consisting of Gener-
ais Wade and Butler and Admiral
Sampson-has submitted statement
that in order to restore order and pre-
serve order in Cuba, it will require the
presence of an army of $4,000 men" "
General Corbin said he would send
this recommendation, in confidence,
to the committee; but later it was ar
ranged that it should be submitted
without confidential reservations. 1t
was on this recommendation, said Cen
eral Corbin, that the plan of sending
troops to Cuba was based. 1t might
be found that $4,000 men would not
be absolutely requisite.
"But we are holding $4,000 men in
readiness to 60 if required" said the
general. As to the Philippines, he
went on, General Otis, in command
there, has recommended that $4,000
men were required. In Puerto Rico
the officers in command there recon-
mend that the force now on hand is
about adequate for the requirements.
The present force there is 6,l0O. That
made $1,000 men, leaving with an
army of 100000 about $4,000 for re-
serves at home.
"It must be borne in mind" said
General Corbin, "that an army in time
of peace is like insurance. 1t is a
preparation for an emergency. If we
had had such an army last June, there
would have been no such loss of life as
occurred.
"Do you think $4,000 men for Cuba
conservative estimate ?" asked Mr..
Jett, of Illinois.
81 think it is," answered the general.
"And how long will that last ?" ask
ed Mr.. Hay.
81 wish could say" answered Cen
eral Corbin "but no man can say"
Owing to opportunities of congress-
men, as reinsurance to volunteers,
the Associated Press was requested to
send General Corbin's statement on
that point. He said: "The depart
ment is disposed to deal very leniently
as to letting off men who are needed
at home. In some cases colonies have
been instructed to reduce companies
to 80 men so as to let off men who are
urgently needed at home. And even
below 80 We are making discharges on
satisfactory statements that the pres
ence of the men are needed at home" )"

COUNTY COURT QUESTION.
LIE gisIators Beginning to Give Attention
to This Important Matter.

LIE gis1atOrS Beginning 10 Glve AuehAon
to This Important Matter.
August Kohn in News and Courier.
COLUMBIA, December 14.-There is
considerable agitation throughout the
state for the establishment of county
courts. The newspapers have taken
up the question and they generally
favor the idea. Legislators who come
to Columbia occasionally are also talk
ing about it, and there is no doubt that
such a bill will be introduced, and,
judging by expressions of opinion from
Legislators, the measure has d good
chance of passage. So far as can be
ascertained, no definite plan has been
arranged which will be included in the
bill but generally speaking, the idea
seems to be to have county court to
meet once a month and try such cases,
and dispose of them, as magistrates
now have Jurisdiction over. 1t is con-
tended, and, perhaps, truly, that many
cases are sent up to the higher court
which could be disposed of by coun.
ty court at less cost. These trivial
cases cost the counties as much as
those of a more serious character.
The advocates of the county court
scheme say that the circuit judges are
now overworked, and it is fact that
the question is again being agitated of
increasing the number of judicial cir
cults in the state to relieve them of
this overwork. Unless the county
court bill is passed, it is very likely
that bill will be introduced increasing
the circuits by two at least. Of course
there are men having judicial aspira-
tions who would like to see the num-
Der of circuit judges increased; but
aside from that, the advocates of the
county court idea hold that it must be
done if our courts are to he conducted
with due deliberation in the considera-
ton of cases by the judges. Should
the county courts be established, the
number of magistrates in the state
would be decreased. Those that re-
main would have only committing
power.

IN JAIL AGAIN.

Matt Byers is in Jail again. Thi:
time the charge is housebreaking and
larceny. Some weeks ago he broke
into the house of a Negro-Jobr
Stowe-in Kings Mountain township
and stole a valise, an overcoat and
some other articles. He was commit
ted to Jail by Magistrate McMackin.
Matt Byers is probably one of the
most notorious Negro criminals who
has figured in York county for good
many years. He is about 25 years Of
age, as strong as mule, above the
average of his race in intelligence, not
afraid of anybody or anything, and in
cunning a match for the traditional
fox.
The fellow first began to figure in
the criminal court of York county
when be was sent up from Hickory
Grove, several years ago, for stealing
pistol. While in Jail he told some
of his fellow prisoners of his implica-
tion in the murder of Mr.. Bradford,
who was supposed to have been killed
by train. The case was investigated
with the result that upon trial, Byers
was convicted of murder; but after
ward secured new trial and was &C.
Quilted. Since the acquittal he has
stated more than once to responsible
parties, that he was really guilty, and
although he did not deem it prudent
to talk about the matter, he fully un-
derstood that he could not again be
tried.
After his trial for murder, Byers was
convicted of housebreaking and lar
ceny and sentenced to term in the
penitentiary. This was before the in
stitution of the changing. He served
his term in the penitentiary and star
ted back for York county but did not
get back here until after he had served
