POLICEMEN.

OF course, it is a policeman's duty to
stop fight or arrest thief. But these
matters do not completely explain his
du ties. He is good deal more to
community than thief catcher or a
fight stopper. In his keeping is very
largely the conduct of the community.
and to see that the laws, enacted to
make the people behave themselves,
are enforced. For instance, he should
see:
thOroughfares are not obstructed by
loiterers and loafers;
That the sidewalks are not piled with
merchandise or other stuff;
That the people do not litter the
street with paper, straw or other rub
| bish;
That there be no profanity or obscene
talk in public places;
That there be no yelling and whoop-
ing on the streets at night;
| That crowds of idle boys are not per-
mitted to hang around opera house or
church doors;
That boy who jumps on a running
street or railroad car should be arrested;
That the fellows who drive their
horses fast through the streets should
be fined
That people should not leave their
horses unhitched;
That the policemen, themselves, rep
Presenting the law, should not Loaf
around among crowds, but always pre-
serve dignifed, courteous, manly
bearing. Upon them rests to great
degree the honor and good behavior OF
the town, and for them to show them
lselves as friends of the law, goes far to
secure the enforcement of the law. Ar
efficient policeman is friend of the
town. If he takes pride in his town, il
its behavior and appearance, he can dc
+ the community more good than any
other citizen. Hence, the Importance
of having for policemen men who have
courage, intelligence, high sense o
duty, and are themselves good citizens
We can speak for this community, whel
|, we say, we hope the Mayor and Council
will select men not only able to catcl
thieves, but who by their conduct an(
watchfulness will reflect honor upol
our town in all its varied interests

The Richland County Central Com
mittee appointed the delegates to the
Republican State Convention, Friday,
and instructed them for Daugherty.
This seems to be the Hanna tactics to
defeat the will of the people. In some
counties, controlled by Foraker's
friends, delegates have been selected in
the same way, but it was not done till
the Hanna crowd set the pace. 1t is all
wrong, and the people ought to send up
delegates from every county and hold
their own convention. The idea OF
there being popular government, when
the politicians rob the people of their
right to select their rulers, is farce.

WANT TO CONE HOME.
The Minnesota Volunteers Send a
Message to Their Governor.

A week ago the REPUBLICAN noted
the fact that although the Government
had offered all volunteers inManila, who
would reenlist, bounty of $500 each,
only per cent. had expressed will
ingness to accept the offer.
On Thursday last, Governor Lind, of
Minnesota, received the following
cablegram from Manila:
''Lind ST. Paul:
1.-The regiment must be ordered home
and mustered out of the service at once.
OFFICERS OF REGIMENT"
The following explanatory dispatch
from Minneapolis, accompanied the
publication of the Manila cablegram:
Gov. Lind stated after the receipt
of the cablegram that he is unadvised
as to the eXigencies at Manila, and is
wholly in the dark as to the real sig
nificance of the message. 1t came in
cipher, unsolicited, and its terms were
as unintelligible to him as they would
be to the public"
There is no reason why the cable
gram should be ''unintelligibe' to eth.
er Gov. Lind or to the public. These
men enlisted for two years or during the
| war with Spain. The war has been ovel
eight months, and peace was formally
declared last week. These men never
enlisted to fight the Filipinos, and a:
their time is out, they ask the Govern
ment to keep faith with them. There
l iC Crln tn in, oh
men who are only fighting for theil
independence, although they know the
Filipinos made great mistake in max
ing war ON Uncle Sam. The fact tha
only seven per cent of these volunteer
offered to reenlist fully explains tn,
dispatch. The fact that the dispatcl
/ was sent in cipher, was doubtless du
to the desire of those who sent it, t,
not let the Filipinos know that the vol
unteers wanted to come home.
The Government is sending regular
to fill the places of the volunteers, a
fast as transportation can be secured
and this country, Cuba and Porto Ric
will soon be almost stripped of the reg
ular army.
There has been no call for volunteers
for the Government is not certain tina
such a call would be enthusiasticail
responded to. The treatment of tn
soldiers in the late war, and the appar
ent disposition to shield those who wer
responsible for it, has not had a tender
cy to excite much enthusiasm for vol
unteering.
The Government, it is said, in thi
emergency, will keep only few reg
ments of regulars in Cuba and Port
Rico, and will enlist several battalion
of natives for service in these islands.
j A knowledge of these facts clearl
explains the meaning of the Manila di:
, patch.

JUDGE NASH set an evil example
when he secured the delegates to the
State Convention by appointment of the
Central Committee, instead of giving
the people the right to select them. A
man who would rob the people of their
right to select their own rulers cannot
be trusted with the great interests of
the people. Mr.. Nash's example has
already been followed in a number OF
counties by friends of other candidates,
who claim the action of Franklin county
as precedent. But in every case it is
done to defeat the will of the people.

FORAKER DENIES 1T ALL.

Senator Foraker denies all the sto-
ries of his recent interviews and agree
ments about the Governorship as
unmitigated lies. He says he has had no
conference or interview with Hanna,
with Cox, or with Kurtz, and did not
see Cox the evening he is said to have
met him at Cincinnati. He has not
declared himself for Swing nor had
any interview in regard to the matter.

acquiring the assimilative powers of a
billy goat, and swallows circus bills

interviews with distinguished men te

THE Governor of Pennsylvania has
appointed Quay, U. s. Senator, till the
next Legislature elects. The Constitu-
tion of Pennsylvania directs that the
Governor shall call the Legislature to
fill vacancies, and the Senate of the
United States decided in the Oregon
case, that Governor could not fill such
vacancies. Therefore, Mr.. Quay's
appointment is perhaps only salve to
ease his tired feelings.

SENATOR QUAY, who was tried for
misuse of State funds, was acquitted.
One of the main witnesses against him,
showed that he wanted to hurt Quay all
he could, but he petered out under
cross-examination. Perhaps Quay is
not an embezzler; but he is good deal
worse. He is political boss and the
people ought to try him for that.
