Lemberg, Jan. 22-There was Polish demonstration before the Russian con sulate here last night of such dis orderly character that it became neoes- .al'y to send a detachment of hussars to disperse the mob. The outbreak was started by number of sruGents assem- L!ing in tha cemetery ;o place wreaths on the graves of Poles wno were vic tuns of the rising of 1863.
 The crowd Was quickly augmented and q mob of people marched through tne streets singing nationa: songs. They broke down the police cordon drawn around the Russian consulate and ad- v8nced on the building. when they wer- dispcrsed by a charge 0: cavalry.

KANSAS CORN Is O. K.

Reports from nearly every part OF
Kansas this week indicate that the
Kansas corn is In specially good condf-
ton. The Indications are that corn will
again be crowned king in Kansas. It
has been feared that a dry August
might do considerable injury to the
crop, especially that which was planted
late, but the danger OF a dry August
is now past.
This will be the corn farmers inning.
For the past two or three years the
wheat farmer has been at the front.
paying off his mortgages and piling up
his bank account. Now the corn farm
er will have a chance. And when the
corn farmer does well the man who
raises stock also prospers.
Especially is corn in good condition
along the northern tier of counties
generally known as the corn belt Six
or eight of these northern counties have
frequently produced from four to ten
million bushels of corn each. and they
will do it again this year. The early
corn il already past all danger and
the copious rains of the past week will
carry the balance we'll past the danger
point and insure its filling in good
shape. Kansas will this year make the
other corn states hurry to keep ur
with her.

MIR. GATES PROPOSED SCHOOL

John w. Gates, until recently Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, has
decided to start a school for boys on a
one thousand acre tract OF land fifteen
miles from Chicago. 1t Is his intention
to grind out reformers as a speciality.
besides graduating young men who
he believes will be able to go out into
the world and do better than others
who don't have the stamp Of the Gates
institution upon them.
There is one phase OF its management
which may or may not prove a good
working scheme for the building of the
characters of boys. If he has been cor
rectly quoted, Mr.. Gates says that there
will not be lot of rules that the boys
can break. but that II lad sees fit to
give the authorities of the institution
the slip after he has tired of it's duties,
he will not be obliged to return. Judg-
ing from some traits of Mr.. Gates it is
possible to place wide Interpretation
on these plans which he has laid out.
To say that there will not be too many
rules to be infracted, of course is para
doxical: but it will be exceptional if he
does not find it imperative every day to
put restraints on the boys who are at
tending the institution. Boy nature is
such that it must n eet its hard knocks !;
and if 1t doesn't in youth then in later
life it will find certain restraints. 1t
will be just as impossible for boys to
be in an institution Of the Gates kind
without doing such things as deserve
some kind of punishment occasionally.
as it would for a person to walk up and
down Kansas avenue every day and ex-
pect never to be obliged to turn aside
or pause for the convenience of other
pedestrians or passing vehicles. It is
not necessary for children to be
licked" all the time. but the boy is q
being just developing, and from the ma
ture of the whole proposition his re-
proof Is to come often. Mr. Gates ma,
be wiser when he gets through running
the training school than he has ap-
peared to be at the oIltset

POLICE oUTRAdEs.

Topeka has good police force. That
has been demonstrated by the number
Of criminals captured and convicted
during the past six months and the
scarcity of cases where the Nerpetrator
of any crime escaped. ButVhey have
one very poor system, to wit: that ex-
pansive "vag" ordinance. No matter
what the cash value or social standing
of stranger, he is vagrant, If the po-
lice chance to notice his unfamiliar face
The "vag" ordinance is flexible as it
stands on the books. but the police
stretch it beyond the limit. A vaErant,
according to the city ordinance is one
who is guilty of any of the following
crimes: Lettering about house Of ILL.,
fame; refusing to provide for his fam
lily; lettering about the streets with no
visible support. To the police, this or
dinance includes anyone they wish to
investigate. Instead of booking a man
as suspect" fugitive" or any other of
the many terms supplied for the oc-
casion, the tailor invariably write
''vag," possibly because it is easier to
write.
Here Is a case in point. Not long ago,
ave colored people, two men and three
women, came to Topeka from Colorado.
They had never been in the town before,
were not cognizant Of the fact that

KELLY Is srILL rHERE

The name of T. T. Kelly still appears
on the Republican ticket as the nomi-
nee for the important office of state
treasurer. So far as Mr.. Kelly is con-
cerned he shows no disposition to give
way to someone who would not be
burden to the ticket and upon whose
shoulders does not rest the burden OF
official dishonesty.
The Republican managers are becom-
ing uneasy. and it is not surprising.
They may have thought after the state
convention that the voters would over
look Mr.. Kel1y's misdeeds. but they
know now that they were mistaken ana
that unless his name is taken off the
ticket he may drag it down to defeat.
Mr.. Kelly's personal friends have but
one excuse to offer. 1t is that no mat
ter what he may have done in the past
he has reformed and is now an honest
man. But the people Of Kansas are not
ready to turn the treasury over to a
man who while clerk OF a county
changed the records and made false en-
tries which enabled him to rob the
county of hundreds Of dollars, even
though they have his personal assur-
ance that he Will never do 10 again. He
ought not to ask the people to allow
him to again be placed in the way Of
temptation.
Mr.. Kelly promises that he will make
another explanation He is wasting
his time and it is foolish for his friends
to advise such a course. The records In
the clerks Office of Miami county tell
their own story. Mr.. Kelly has already
made one explanation, but he utterly
failed to account for the forged vouch-
ers. If Mr.. Kelly had not known that
he had taken the money Of the people
of Miami county he would never have
offered to make good the shortages. He
made the only reparation possible so far
as he is concerned. when he paid back
to Miami county the funds he had
stolen. Mr.. Kelly ought to let it rest
at that but he should not ask the peo-
pie of Kansas to support him for state
treasurer because he has paid back the
money he secured through his pecula-
tons.
The story of persecution which was
used SO effectively by Mr.. Kellys
friends at the state convention at
Wichita is utterly absurd and foolish
At the outset the men who made the
investigation of the records OF Miami
county were Mr.. Kelly's personal
friends. They did not believe that he
had stolen money from the county.
They were of the same political faith as
Mr.. Kelly, and were naturally anxious
to do all they could to suppress any
thing which would injure their party.
But these same men were forced to re-
port that Mr.. Kelly had secured 81 300
of the money which belonged to the peo-
pie of Miami county and appropriated it
to his own use. If 1t is persecution to
make these facts public, then the people
of Kansas are ready to sanction perse-
cution.
There is only one way out Of 1t. That
Is for Mr.. Kelly to step aside and allow
another name to be substituted as the
candidate for state treasurer. It does
not matter much who it is, just so it Is
that Of an honest man.

They told a straight story, but did not
quiet the suspicion. of the policeman. A
few nights later. while walking around
the streets, having no friends in the
town whom they might visit, they were
arrested. The women were first taken
in chsrge, and the men, who claimed 20
be the husbands OF two OF the women,
hot knowing the system, became indig-
aant and sought to dissuade the officer
from making the arrest They erron-
eously supposed they had the rights OF
American citizens. The result was that
they were roughly handled, and went to
the station with the women, were
charged with vagrancy and locked up
The men were well dressed, and had
over $500 in money. They employed an
able attorney to defend them, told
straight stories on the witness stand
and were fined SO each.
Wishing to save their money for q
trip to their early home In the SOUTH
they refused to pay the fine, and pro-
ceeded to show they were game by

ing their durance. their baggage. con-
sisting of several trunks, was seized
and searched for stolen articles, which
were not found. Neither OF the men
carried weapons, or had them in their
trunks. which helps the theory that
they were respectable people.
1t is true that several bad criminals
have been held on "vag" charges until
their guilt could be proven, but it is also
true that dozens Of innocent parties
have been brought to the station, rough
1y searched and thrown into Jail. Some
of them have been held several days in
this manner, being brought into court
at each session. asked If they wished
to plead guilty, and put of q day until
evidence could be found" Taken all
around, the expansive "vag" ordinance
is an outrage on humanity.

INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.

In opening what promises to be one OF
the fiercest county election campaigns in
the history Of Shawnee county, the In
dependent candidates have secured a
lead of several weeks over the regular
Republican nominees. From now on the
Independents propose to push their cam
paign vigorously, and indications are
that the effect of their hard work will
be apparent when the votes are counted
The Republican candidates do not
have, nor claim to have. the "cinch"
which is supposed to characterize Re-
publican stronghold It is evident even
to the Republican partisan that there is
a dangerous split in the ranks. There
are several things which have contrib
uted to the powerful opposition which is
developing to what is ca led the "Repub-
Hcan ring
Stahl and Stebbfns, backed by a bold
band of insurgents. are claiming that
Nichols and Lucas are representatives
of the resubmissionists. not Of the Re-
publican party. They claim that the
machinery OF the Republican party has
passed into the control of a local resub.
mission ring They assert that by means
of this control the primary election at
which Lucas and Nichols were nomi-
mated was illegally held. and that as a
matter of fact. Lucas and Nichols are
not nominated by the Republican party
The fight on Nichols is based prin-
cipally on his non-enforcement Of the
prohibitory law. So fragrant was his
violation Of his oath Of office. they say.
that the governor appointed an assist
ant attorney general to perform duties
which Nichols should have performed.
Whether or not the voters Of Shawnee
county will be convinced by this sort
of argument remains to be seen. The
sentiment in Shawnee county is evenly
divided on the question of resubmission
and that Is really where the election
hinges.
Lucas and Nichols will be given the
support of all the Republican machinery
OF the county. They will be backed by
plenty of money. and will poll tre-
mendous vote in some localities. They
are both Of them adroit politicians, and
know how to manage an aggressive
campaign They have been contin-
uously in politics for many years, and
know the ropes. They can call together
a powerful force OF men equally at
home in the game Of politics, and it is
safe to say that they will keep them
solver closer in touch with the progress
OF the fight than the other side can hope
to do. They will be able to give out, IL
they care to, more accurate forecast
on the outcome of the election a week
beforehand than the managers of the
Independent campaign can give.
If Stahl and Stebbins or either Of them
is elected. it will be because the people
want to administer a rebuke to resub-
mission, and to what they believe to be
Republican machine" If Lucas and
Nichols win. it will demonstrate that
the Republican organization in this
county is strong enough to Withstand
the most vigorous assault which its
combined enemy can hurl against IT,
At any rate the Independent movement
In Shawnee county must be given con-
sideration as force in politics. The
people show no disposition to rest in
the party collar when 1t chafes them.
