The average Kansas legislature, which has always been dominated by northeast Kansas interests, is too cowardly, too selfish and too sectional to ever do the right thing either by the state at large as a commonwealth, or by its inhabit ants as a people. It is unnecessary to assert that a majority of the measures introduced involve either a corporate job, a professional advantage or an individual steal, and nearly always by Indirection. It would take columns of space to enumerate and explain. It will be noticed that a congressional apportionment bill was introduced into the lower house day before yester day. For years Kansas has been electing a congressman-at-large only because sectional hoggishness and political cowardice would not permit the people their rights. Selfish political strikers have kept nearly one-fourth of the state in a single district giving the extra congressman-at-large all the while, to some small district. The new bill referred to, which was introduced by Beezley of Edwards, puts Sedg wick, Harvey, Butler, Cowley, Sumner, Harper, Reno, King man, Barber, Stafford and Pratt in a single district, to be known as the Sixth. "Why McPherson, Marion, Chase and Lyon were not added to this district is not explained. The northeast corner of the state having started out with the advantage, has continued all these years to hog everything. There never was a United States senator south west of Emporia. All the United States senators, federal judges and federal appointments, not strictly local, are gob bled by the porcine pocket of the northeast corner, whose greed will not even permit common courtesy. The hog cor ner would not permit the division of the state into two fed eral districts because of the fear that somebody else might be accommodated. Denying the people of south and west Kansas a federal district of their own, still, had Judge Peters been appointed instead of Hook there would have been a division within ninety days and Judge Hook would have had his position all the same, with a chance to dis charge its duties. No one judge can do this for tha entire state. Topeka must have every litigant in the federal court possible forced, with his witnesses, to Topeka. But this congressional apportionment and federal dis tricts constitute but two of innumerable instances in which nothing was proper or right that was not designated for, or consigned to the trough of the northeast hog, into which trough that section not only keeps its snoot and both fora feet, but lays down when occasion requires. flUes' Defiance of the President. And General Miles has at last ran up against a bigger man than himself, in the person of the president, the commander-in-chief of the United States army and navy, whose war administration Miles has been criticising. Miles was quietly notified, in a friendly way, that now that Eagan had been punished, he. Miles, should more carefully guard his mouth, as his declarations had already done damage enough. But Miles .emboldened by the fa'te of Eagan, having gone to New York, declares in more offensive terms than ever that the beef was embalmed, and that he can prove it Because Miles doesn't like the secretary of war he would not only break down Alger and the commissary department, but if it became necessary to succeed in his attempt, attack the administration itself- The commission for the investiga tion of the war have, found little or no corroborative evi dence of Miles' complaint. Upon the other hand, Miles says that he has affidavits from persons who saw the beef treated t ith chemicals. lie says he has proof that the canned roast bMf was nothing more nr less than plain beef with the nutrition boiled out to make beef extract. He says he has letters, communications and affidavits from soldiers and ciwlians, who testify that the beef was wholly unfit for use J and that if it succeeded in overcoming the prejudice of tho palate, due to its appearance and odor, positively refused to remain peaceful! in the stomach. He says all these things and more. He says he is trying to prove the truth of his assertions to claim the reward of $100,000 offered by the beef pa kers for proof that the beef was chemically treated, the money to go to charity. That is all bosh, all braggadocia and humbug, and we predict that as soon as the president has disposed of the findings of the Eagan court-martial he will turn his atten tion to Mites. In truth, the rumor in "Washington is that the president will remove Miles from the commanding gen eralship and assign him to a division. The Feet of the Trotter. The feet of horses, as studied by horsemen and farmers, who go into the science of things, show variations as great as the feet of human beings. For instance, it is a common thing to insinuate that the feet of Chicago women are ex ceptionally large. How such a statement came to be first made, is unknown, but there are people who believe it. The fact undoubtedly is that there is as much disparity between the feet of Philadelphia women supposed to be the truest examples of long American descent to be found in this coun try as there is disparity In the feet of Chicago women. This, however, in passing to enforce the opinion that people in general known but little about the subject and accept con clusions that are suggested by jesters, and not to mix up the feet of fair women in comparison to the feet of horses. The hoof of Nelson, 2:09, one time the champion trotting stallion, Is the longest and narrowest known to the connoisseurs. Nelson's shoes are 1 inches long' and 2 inches wide be tween the heels. The hoof of Straight Line, 2:124, a trotting mare of the first class, is extraordinarily wide, In proportion to length 6 inches long and 5 inches wide almost a perfect round. In general, horsemen find the long hoof a better indi cation of speed 'than the round one. Long-toed trotters are slower getting away from the wire, but once going, they have the faculty to "get there." This is one of the fancies of horsemen men not much given to matters of imagination. Is It Not Open Treason? Is not the action of forcing the printing of Agoncillo'a protests in the Congressional Becord treason? Technically any official connection with an enemy of this country or with any subject of a country at war with this, is treason. The editor of the Cincinnati Times-Star holds that the pro curing of the publication of Agoncillo's letters in the Record is treason. Technically the United States is still at war with Spain, and the Filipinos, outside of Manila, are still Span ish subjects, even though they be in rebellion. Agoncillo could be arrested legally and deported as a Spanish sub ject, but the administration knows that such action, how ever legitimate, would just suit the Tagal ends. Treason in the United States consists of giving aid and comfort to 'the enemies of the country. Giving aid and comfort to a Spanish subject is thus treason. The refusal of the United States to bolster up the cause of tho Tagals in deporttag Agoncillo may not, however, extend to the member of the senate who openly and in the Becord grants' aid and com fort to an enemy of the United States. It would not be the president alone who would Have to bear the brunt of the charge, but the senate. The senator who places any docu ment of a treasonable character on the pages of the Record is very liable to be impeached for treason by the body of which he is a member. The English Parcels Post. American cities want the English parcels post system. In London, England, the week of Christmas, 1,250,000 parcels passed through the postoffice. The English have a superior system of transmitting goods by mail called the parcels post. A bill s now before eongnys to adopt this system :n the United States. The opposition in this country will come from the express companies. As the express companies will not pay for the war stamp tax put on the receipts they issue, as the law implies they should, the wishes of the com panies should have but little weight among congressmen. "We shall see later on how the congressmen vote on this ques tion. The London postoffice was equal to the pressure upon it during Christmas week. Extra help, to the number of 2.S00 men, Vas engaged. Extra vehicles reinforced the reg ular mail wagons and carts. Furniture wagons, railway cars, vans and even cabs, to the number of 1,673, were em ployed. The traffic was handled right speedily by these energetic means, and parcels were forwarded and deivered without delay. Lewelling's Tit for Tat Play. Ex-Governor Lewciling paid off a political debt, or rather grudge, in a most effectual fashion, day before yesterday. McKay, tire Pop district judge of Harper, Pratt, Barber and Kingman, the judge who in knowing no law has held that for the purposes of administering justice common horse ser.se is only requisite, was beaten, as most of our readers kn-w, by Preston B. Gillett, a prominent Republican lawyer cf Kingman. Counting on a Populist senate, McKay was seeking to hold the office. By striking the McKay contest from the calendar and thereby dismissing it from the sen ate. Senator Leweilinc administered a striking rebuke to Mi. Kay, w ho, hen Levelling was a candidate for renomlna ,oru made a bitter personal flght against him. The Seventh district Populists have been engaged in extended contro- rrMes as a result of this fight within the party, and the McKay element created much disturbance. In addition to the political com plications which have arisen, bitter per sonal enmities have been incurred. Then, Mr. Titus was among those who demanded that Senator Lewelltog be re iro ed as a. member of the state board of railroad coin mis -s ners, to which position, he was elected by the executive i uncil headed by Governor Leedy. As McKay has put Mr Titus forward into prominence. t would seem that Mr. Lewelling balanced accounts -aith both of them. There was a smile on the faces of the senators after Lewelling's motion had prevailed, and his political debts were thereby paid in the same manner as they were created. Another State Money Proposition. There is another proposition before the legislature of Kansas .for the utilization of the state moneys in the treas ury, which proposition differs from the Breidenthal plan. There are a million and a quarter of sinking and other funds said to be lying idle in the treasury, or if used at all are being handled by bankers or others, from which the people receive no returns. Besides the money collected as taxes by county treasurers and turned into the treasury, there are times when there are hundreds of thousands un expended. The bill, as we understand it, and which was drawn up pursuant to a recommendation in Governor Stan ley's message, provides that any bank may have a portion of these funds upon the deposit of United States bonds of an equal amount as security. Of course United States bonds are just as good security as the cash itself. But a big fight may be exoected against the measure. But It Will Not Be Done. The senate of Minnesota has just voted unanimously in favor of the election of United States senators by the people directly. The same Minnesota senate had very recently taken part in the election of a United States senator, and its members doubtless understand that they have small chance of another opportunity to help select a senator. Therefore no great degree of self-sacrifice appears in their willingness to turn the election of senators over to the people in the future.

While we are weeping over the possibility of having to retain the Philippines, it should be noted that our colonies, Hawaii and Porto Rico, are giving us no trouble at all, and we do not seem to be more imperial with them than we were without them. "We have paid off the Cuban army. "We should now get to work, like a sucker, and build the Cubans a capitol. With a little more taffy we may get Gomez, the old snoozer to respect us. The Tagals or Visayans. Only encouraging words are received from General Otis, wh-- in his last message pretty strongly intimates that he and Dew ey can hold down the Philippine situation whatever may happen. Agoncillo talks only for Aguinaldo. In the rran time a delegation is expected from the Philippines w ho will talk for the Vfeayaus. There are still four or five Bomi-civilized tribes in the Philippines to be heard from, emch of t hich belie es i: is superior to the other; at least they ha e for years refused to admit that an inferiority exists. The prominence of the situation at Manila has given the Tagals and their leader. Aguinaldo, a pseudo prominence lhat will now be to some extent eclipsed as the returns from the backwoods precincts begin to poor in. At present we are informed of two separate insurrectionary goverainenC In the Philippines the Tagal dictatorship of Aguinaldo, and the Yisayan confederacy. Then, there is the Saltan of the Sulu Islands whois yet to be heard from, and who may put In a claim to being the only real thing In the way of a government. The hot-heads who, a fow weeks fince. in their ignorance Df tribal rivalry in the Philippines were crying for immediate recognition of the Tagal dictatorship, may in due time be citne informed of the true situation, although their ignor ance is so dense that tt requires tine to ctnvtoco them that there are others than tfee Tarais to be fiealt wtth. This country is paying off 15,000 Cuban officers and 30,000 Cuban privates. Every officer led two soldiers Into battle down there that is counting the little bushwhacking scraps battles. -O- The Kansas legislature Is said to be eager to give Wich ita an insane asylum. One thing is sure. The insane asylum will come to "Wichita. Wichita will not go to the Iiisane asylum. All coast-to-ooast trains are stopped in Colorado. When the new route -via Wichita to New Mexico is completed there will be no more snow blockades for Pacific coast travelers. Old Gomez knew what he was about. He huns back with his army of 400 until the United States came forward and promised to pay off a mythical army of -55.00. Our flag was raised over Havana. The flag was made tn New York, and The wonder is that any captain of a boat could be persuaded to haul it down. Governor Barnes of Oklahoma, after a few preliminaries, opened up the proceedings m Oklahoma by shying a veto at the legislature. The Eagan case is now in the bands of the president. It Is expected that McKinley m uphold the discipline of the army. The senate will ratify the treaty. It never intended aay thlng else. But the senate must talk. That is what it is for. There Is no- in the mountains a prodigious ajwowai of snow. Let the Arkansas valley cora-growers note that.

It is still the opinion of General Miles that the oiy man entirely blameless in the late war was General Mftes. All's Well That Ends Well Down the lane leading to John Delane's farm-house, one beautiful June evening, many years ago, could be seen a steady stream of vehicles of all description. Ev ery farmer for miles around had been invited to the wedding of Mary Delane, and tonight the auspicious event was to take place. Preparations had been made on a grand scale; John Delane had de termined to make this, the wedding of his only child, a memorable event. The match between Mary Delane and Shaun Brady had been brought about, and perfected by Pat Mulcahy. a renown ed matchmaker. Mary was an exception ally pretty girl, and as good as she was pretty. Shaun Brady was twice her age, possessing an unenviable name and ma ny enemies; but. as John Delane remark ed, "a moneyed man has many jealous friends," and money Shaun had in plenty, that covered all deficiencies, moral and physical, in John Delane's eyes. Mary Delane had no love for Shaun Brady, she well knew that her life would bo In many ways a hard one, but she had been badgered by her father until she had said yes with a heavy heart. The bridegroom and priest had not yet arrived, but the dancing began. Tom Har ty, the fiddler, playing "The Wind That Shook tho Barley," in finished style. Mary did not participate, reserving her first dance for her future husband. She received the guests as they came, stand ing proudly beside her father, her face white as marble. Her thoughts were wandering far and wide when a voice aroused her and sent the blood to her cheeks. "God save all here!" "God save you kindly, Dan," she heard the company respond in unison, and then Dan Reardon was shaking the hand which she mechanically outstretched. In a moment he had gone, mingling among the guests. "More power to ye," he said to the fid dler, as that worthy man finished. "An shure," answered Tom, "it's hav ing the loikes of a fine bouchal like yer self beside me that gives me the power," Dan joined the general laugh. "It's about time the groom end his rlv erence were here," said Mary's uncle. "Oh, they'll be here directly now," said John Delane. "Shure she'll be taken from me soon enough." Dan Reardon sat by the porch door, gazing abstractedly into the darkness out side; Mary watched him from her place beside her father, and as that good man arose in answer to a servant's call, she slipped quietly over to where Dan was. "A penny for your thoughts, Dan," said she. "They're priceless, miss," said he, "for I was just thinking of the wan I love best in this dreary, bitter world." "Indade," sold Mary. "An' shure It's a nice girl she must be, to win your love." She said this lightly, though her heart was heavy. "She Is the sweetest woman that ever put a foot on the ground." "An I suppose she returns your love, Dan?" she asked, interrogatively. "Oh, no, no, miss! Shure it's little she knows of the love I have for her, and In wan way I'm glad. It's impldent she'd think me, widout a pinny to me name, to have serious thoughts about her." "If I'm not too bold, Dan. I'll be after axin you who she is, an it's anxious I am to know." But this question seemed to cause Dan the greatest .confusion, and. strange to say, when Mary looked at hinvand their eyes met, she also grew confused. "Och, shure. Miss Mary," he stammer ed, "you'd be the last one I'd tell. Don't ax me no more, shure It's only folly on my side." "Well, thin, Dan, you can tell me wheth er she Is dark or fair?" "Well, I'll say this much, miss, that to me she's the fairest girl in Kerry." "Give me her initials, thin," coaxed Mary, "an maybe I can guess." "Arrah, now, don't say no more about It." "But you must tell me," she Insisted. "I'll not let you alone till you do." "Well, thin, since you're so detarmlned, I'll take the consequences an' tell you; her name is" here he waited for a mo ment "Man Delane." Mary blushed like a wild rose and stam mered: "Oh, Dan, shure you can't mane me?" Dan looked her full in the face as he said, quietly: "It's you, I mane, Mary; but don't be angry; shuro I thought I'd cut my tongue out before I'd tell you, but you drove me to It. Oh dear, oh dear, an' on your weddin' night, tool Don't mind me, miss; I'll not trouble you In any way again, but call God's blessinpr down on you thla nght, an' my constant prayer will be for your happiness." "An' do you think I could be happy with Shaun Brady?" asked Mary, with an up ward slance. "Well, I hope you'll be," he answered, evasively. "An' what's the good hoping any such thing, when you know, well as I do, that happiness and I will part forever when I marry Shaun? I have been forced into It, an' shall try to do my duty; it's too late now to turn back." Dan looked up, with determination In every lme of his fine fac. "Xo, Mary," he said. "It's not too late. If you care for me, or think that lit time you could give mo your precious love, I say again that it's not too late." "Oh, Dan, shure you fonret that I'm to be married this night. His riverence and Shaun are expected any minute." "I'm not forgettin' the fact, and it's a short time you have to decide. We'll run away, an' go straight to Father Duffy's an' be married, an' v.iil you at my side to give me courage I'll work my fingers off to nve you comfort." Then Mary, with love-lit eyes (oh. so different from the downcast Mary of an hour ago) and blushing cheeks, consented. "I'll go wid you, Dan. My heart you possess, an' you might as well have me wld it. Go 'round to my bed-room win dow; I'll drop my mantle out, an you must wait by the "old fort I'll follow as soon as I can without raising suspi cion." Two weeks from that memorable m'cht the runaway; returned, and were wel comed heartily to the village. Mary re solved to ask her father's forrfveness; she loved him dearly, and her conscience troubled her. She Insisted on Dan's ac companying her. Tne old roan grew white with anger when he saw the culprits be fore him. "Away wld ye! Tou beggar you thief of the night you come here and stand fornlnst me, wid brazen impidence, after stealln' the apple of my eye, my only child! A way wid ye!" "All right, sir!" said Dan, his head thrown back, "we'll go. Coma on. achtdsha! bur I'd have yon know. sir. that I'm no beggar; I'm well able to make a livin' for xn wife, an I'll do it w.d God a beip." The old housekeeper came into the par lor a short time af ter. asd was much sur prised to see Mary sitting cJoee beside her father. Dan in the bst chair tb house afforded, and all three as content ed as they could be. "Shure it isn't an hour ai-o." she told the dairy maid, "sine John Deiaoe Ud, wid hU own lips.

During the year 1S33 Probate Judge Jones of Oklahoma county made 52Q lov ers 260. In April. Judge Springer's term of of fice expires and there is a scramble for his place. There never has been a territorial gov ernor, beginning with Steele, who did not use the veto freely. Governor Barnes discovered that more than one performer can play on the ex travagance string at one time. There Is many a sob and a flutter In the committee rooms of Guthrie since Governor Barnes let the portcullis fall. The mine excitement Is so great in Colorado that Perry is thinking of dust ing off her ore and showing it again. Bill Grimes is accused of putting out the Kingfisher College Glee club as a counter-attraction to the legislature. L. Beck of Ponca City claims that cattle taken from Kay county to the Sac and Fox agency will get the fever. An Arapahoe poetess announces that next week she will publish a poem en titled: "Adieu Espan." Is Espan a Barnea or Flynn man? Ira Terrill is howling because he Is serving out two life sentences. What does the man want? Another term in the legislature? Senator Biddison has been made presi dent of the investigating board and will try to hoist the cap-stone of his reputa tion into place. Bill Bolton of Woodward, who writes more about cattle than any other man In the west, never owned so much as a three-legged calf. A new postoffice has been established In Custer county, called Hobson. Miss Blanche Turner Is postmistress and how Hobson would like to kiss her. The Chickashaw legislature never con venes on the day for which It 13 called. The members straggle in Indian fashion for a week. The legislature has just got ten together. The Ponca City Courier and the Medford Patriot seem to have forced a combina tion to stay by Governor Barnes until something freezes over, and then to stand by him on tho ice. The school house at Arapahoe caught fire the other day while school was in session. One of the boyB climbed to the roof, pulled the shingles off -and put the fire out. He deserves a medal. The people of Grant county have been denied the rieht to make final proof before a United States commissioner and have been notified that they must make final proof at the land office In Enid. Palmer, of the Medford Patriot, has a new scheme to work on peddlers. When a peddler, appears he begins to try to sell the peddler some eggs, chickens' and potatoes, and the peddler vamooses double quick. Muscogee Phoenix: From the Chero kee standpoint the treaty Is all that could be desired, and were It not for a few trifling provisos that touch upon mat ters without the scope of the treaty mak ing emissaries, perhaps for the sake of having the matter settled congress would J humor the Cherokees by acceding to rath er overreaching expectations. There are certain incongruities In the agreement, however, that will render the acceptance in its present shape scarcely possible. For Instance, there is a provision in the treaty requiring the location of six United States commissioners in the Cherokee nation. The law provides only for six commis sioners in the northern district, embrac ing the Cherokee, Creek and Seminole countries. If the bIx were located In the Cherokee nation there would bo none, un der tho law as It now stands, in the re mainder of the northern judicial district. Then, again, the little provisos that re quire the United States to purchase cer tain buildings for u.se of court house and jails and the erection of penitentiaries and establishment of courts and the re strictions as to where the Cherokees sha!l bo tried and confined, all of which con flict not alone with the present estab lished custom and with the fundamental laws of the land, will cause the average legislator to wonder what manner of men these Indians are whotc sole good con templated in the plan of reorganizing th. beautiful Indian Territory. i m-mmmxom4wmn- Dainty Fashions J? ,CIlina as clotnes.
