strHker ROasts the Police System.

Superintendent Stryker is not be-
lever In the metropolitan police system.
He Is quite vigorous in his opposition to
it. He thinks that it should be wiped out
entirely and that cities should be given
police departments over which they have
direct control.
There is one thing certain" said he
while discussing political affairs, "the
next Populist State convention will de-
clare In no uncertain language in favor
Of the adjustment Of the metropolitan
police system. 1t will be such strong
language that If we are successful at the
polls the Governor will not dare to ig-
more 1t and appoint police commission
ers. 1t would have been done at the last
State convention had anyone ever sus-
pected that Leedy intended to appoint
commissioners IL elected.
"The fact is that everyone was so GER
tain that the administration would wipe
out the system that resolutions along
that question were deemed superfluous.
But we were all fooled, as 1t turns out.
There is not an official in the State house
except Leedy who does not oppose the
system, and he opposed 1t before his
election. He even voted to abolish 1t
while a member of the Senate. Not only
are the other State officials Of one mind,
but also all the leading men Of the party
in the State. It seems that the Governor
has had about as much trouble with the
police as any Of his predecessors. 1t is
not an element Of strength to our party.
1t weakens 1t. The notorious friendship
existing between the whisky men and
the police commissioners of the various
cities has aroused the temperance people
in our party. The great majority of the
voters of the Populist party are temper
ance men. They may say something at
the convention. If not there, they will
act when they get into the voting
booth"

TO HENRY GEORGE.

What can we say Of thee, but only this?
We had a prophet and we knew him not
Another age will rate thee at thy worth,
A great, warm-hearted, fearless, honest
man;
a nObleman who took his rank from God
And bore II like q king. And, o., the poor,
How true friend they've lost In losing
thee!
Who ever plead their cause with tongue
And gave plan to help them and the race.
Now, like a warrior on a battlefield,
Whose last charge was his best, thy end
has come.
Thou sought to raise our great Queen City
up
From out the mire; and fought wrong face
And, as thou led the hosts OF toiers on,
Against the citadels Of fraud and greed
Just at the hour Of seeming victory,
Thy summons came and we were left alone.
These things all men can say of thee with
truth:
RE left a legacy to after years;
He was friend Of all the worlds OPP
pressed;
He was foe to sham and tyranny;
He was a martyr to holy cause
He died. as he had lived, for humankind.

The Topeka Capital has catalOgued
the Republican candidates for State

G. G. Clemens suggestion that some one

Governor Osborn Dies Suddenly.

Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn, of
Topeka, died suddenly at Meadville,
Pa, last Friday afternoon. He had left
home Sunday to go to New York to
attend a meeting Of the board Of direc-
tors of the Santa Fe, Of which he was
member. On the return trip he stopped
at Meadyille, his birthplace, to visit
Mrs. Richmond, to whom he was to be
married soon. He was stricken less
than twelve hours before his death with
hemorrhage of the bowels. He was 81
years old, had been newspaperman and
lawyer, and came to Lawrence, Kas., in
1857. He worked in the Herald Of Free
dom office as printer. He was State
Senator from Doniphan county in 1861,
was President pro tenn. of the Senate In
1862, was Lieutenant Governor in 1863,
United States Marshal in 1864, was
elected Governor in 1872, serving two
terms. After his term expired President
Hayes appointed him as Minister to
Chile, and in 1881 President Arthur sent
him in the same capacity to Brazil. In
1887 he was elected to the State Senate
from Shawnee county. In 1894 he be-

connection a statement from him as to
how he cures his employees Of drinking
to excess is of interest. He says:

and call attention to his weakness, but
do not lecture or criticise him. l simply

Leedy Replies to Criticisms.

Governor Leedy has been rather Sc
verely criticised because Of the ineffi-
cient enforcement of the prohibitory law
in the cities of the first class. Up to
this time he said nothing in reply. These
criticisms were INDUCED in quite freely
at the meeting of the State Temperance
Union and the Governor saw fit to no.
tice them. His reply is as follows:
1.-THE Populist party was organized for
the purpose of correcting certain eco
nomic evils which have grown UP in the
country and to curtail the privileges
and regulate the cost of corporations;
and this administration has turned it's
efforts in that direction.
II did not join the Populist party to
hunt joints nor to fight resubmission.
II there are violations Of the prohibitOry
law, citizens who know the facts should
complain to the magistrates and have
the violaters prosecuted.
80 far the processes Of the courts
have not been resisted by anybody, and
when they are resisted will be the proper
time for me TO interfere. The sentences
Of the courts Of this State also have been
respected, and in NO instance have they
been annulled or set aside"

wood, OF the Retail Clerks Union. He
counts five to family and thereby fig
ures that this includes 2,4O0 heads of
families. Skilled and unskilled work
men and union and non-union men are
among the number. The organizer of
the Building Trades council thinks
that 40 per cent of the workmen en-
gagged at the building trades, such as
carpenters, painters, stonemasons and
others, are employed. One of the few
decent employment agencies says that
1000 typeWriters and stenOgraphers
could be procured on weeks notice.

B0AsTED BRAVERY.

Spain, the braggot, with all Of its
boasted bravery, has furnished to
the world a piece Of coUardice nev-
er before witnessed in a civilized
war. The dispute and rapture be-
tween this country and Spain was
over a strip Of country some ninety
miles long aud twenty miles wide,
belonging 10 Spain, and containing
many thousand Of its population
and a standing army of $4,000
troops and several fine war vessels
to battle against a hostile foe.
Added 10 this there are numberless
forts and castles, together with
sunken mines in it's harbor, which
would make the taking of it's prn.
cipal city, Havana, almost impossi-
ble should those engines of war be
manned by the bOasted chiyalrY,
Spain would have us people believe
their people are imbued with in
this fight. What a spectacle do we
behold now in these boasted war
like people, They pulled their big
war ships out OF Havana harbor at
the very first bugle blast and
crowded on sail and steam to put
the waters of the Atlantic ocean
between them and the U. S. army,
and left their soldiers and citizens
and the entire island of Cuba at
the mercy of a hostile fleet, to be
hemmed up and captured at the
will of our country. If this is Span
ish bravery and chivalry, God save
the mark.
