The Kansas legislature in making an extra number of extraordinary appropriations should not forget that it must at the same time provide the money to cover them or other wise the scrip issued vrill be stamped "Not paid for want of funds," and the credit of the state will thus suffer; or that in piling up the state levy to insure sufficient revenues, the taxpayer in, feeling the extra burthen will protest. "We do not know wfoat the majority intend to do, but what with peni tentiary manufacturing schemes, Paris exposition schemes, the completion of the Capitol, the erection of another insane asylum, and the like, the proposed expenditures of money exceed by hundreds of thousands of dollars the appropria tions of any legislature in the history of the state. "When it comes to raising between three and four millions of dollars from a million of people for state purposes alone, every representative and senator will be compelled to answer munities in the state, such as St Joseph, Springfield and St iouis, but these are not domifaant singly or combined. Mis souri g; a great state in natural resources, but in civilization her people are generations behind the rest of the west And Not a Single General Shot. A Spanish official is in high feather so long as he is on top, either as a patriot or a boodler. The only virtue in the official estimation is success; the only crime failure. Count D'Almenas declared to- the cortes that "five months have elapsed and not a single general had been shot." President Rios is In disgrace because he agreed to -the Paris treaty and all the generals and admirals in any way responsible for the defeats in Cuba,. Porto Rico and the Philippines are to be court-martialed. In the estimation of the Spanish people Sagasta, General Primeria Rivera, General "Weyler, General Blanco, General Linares and Admiral Cervera all deserve death. They are charged with cowardice, inefficiency and double dealing. They are all undoubtedly guilty of the latter. It Is the Spaniard's nature. But had they all been tjrave, patriotic and capable, there could" have been no other result once the war was declared. To surrender was the wise thing to do. Had not the protocol been proposed and signed when it was an American fleet would have been bombarding Jhe coast cities of Spain, and then no one can guess what might have happened, the chances being a resultant world's war. For two hundred years bpam nau gone on system atically robbing the people of the "West Indies, and for half as long a time looting the Philippines. The time had come when all this had to stop or the present monarchy would have been compelled to give way. For one Spanish official to accuse another of dishonesty is but the kettle calling the pot black. The Spanish nation is a recessional, a demoralized degenerate, is corrupt and envenomed and tottering in de cay, and it matters little whether her ruling heads are shot or not, their survivors and successors would not could not, be different or In any sense an. improvement Rear Admiral's Schley's Reply. Admiral Schley's answer to the charges made against him for his delay off Cienf uegos and his tardiness in locating Cervera's fleet in the bay of Santiago, which reply is in writ ing to the senate committee on naval affairs, is not only admirable in its tcne and very clear, but will raise that officer in the estimation of the American people. He cer tainly makes out a good case for himself and shows that Admiral Sampson's criticism was at least hasty, if not unjustifiable. A Fling at Fate, Billy Bryan's Mistake. Colonel Wm. J. Bryan threw up his commission, assigning as a reason that his Nebraska regiment was to be denied any chance to fight in Cuba or Porto Rico, and he didn't want to ber sent to the Philippines to do garrison duty and wear away his life In idleness and heat Surrendering his com mission but holding on to the title of his rank, he returned home to mount the first platform in sight and denounce lm neriallsm.j, His successor took command of the brave Nebraska regiment, which was forthwith ordered to proceed to Manila, where it was on picket duty when the firing of February 5 opened up. His boys made a gallant, successful andj victorious charge, but he was not there to lead them. He was nSno thousand miles away denouncing the adminis tration and its head, who but last week was saying he had no inside Information not enjoyed by his countrymen, and had no ambition but to .carry out their wishes in tfhe far east as expressed by congress. Bryan, Colonel Bryan, of Nebraska, let slip the opportunity of his life in not remain ing with his regiment, which in a short time now will be ordered home. Kipling and Kansas. "William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, favors an alliance with Rudyard Kipling. "Whether as a brother la morgue lltteraire, as an Anglo-Saxon, or because Rudyard's effort has to do with a "White Man's Burdens, we cannot guess. However, this man "White, in defending the "White Mans' Burden, says that "there is growing in Kansas a -revolt against Kipling, of proportions too enormous to be ignored. Insurgent editors near every literary center In the state are in tfce brush, and they are bushwhacking and mutilating the dead and torturing the wounded. The trouble seems to be the issuing of what the insurgent chiefs allege is decayed rations by Mr. Kipling. fIt seems that a certain bunch recently issued under the label "The "White Man's Burden" is the Immediate cause of the trouble. The insurgents 'didn't like it They claimed that it was em balmed; they disliked the flavor. They are a revengeful lot, and they are going after Kipling in a cruel and extraordinary manner. The "Wichita Eagle, the Atchison Globe, the Topcka Capital, the Lawrence Journal, the Hutchinson News, the CJay Center Times are all on the wsxpath, which is mani festly trfair. "The "White Mans Burden it hot stuff. It's all right It is in line with McKinley's policy. That rank flavor which the insurgents kick about is the natural odor of the unsavory truth. It is the truth thai smells bad. Kip ling is the best poet for 'draft and general purposes' in the world today, and any one who denies this statement is a lumpy-Jawed, white-livered, lop-eared idiot who doesn't know enough to do light housework in a livery stable. T3ii insurrection should be put down with a Arm hand; kill the insurgents; Are 'em from cannons; pull out their toe-nails; skin 'em alive. Impress them with a show of force. Give no quarter. Kipling is all right, t-ne and inseparable, nov and fcrtver." AH Around Higher Prices. For months the prices of all American commodities, pro ducts and commercial values have been gradually climbing upward. Since last April the rise has been marked and unbroken except for a short period precei'n? actual war wiifii Spain. The average advance of prices since June, 1397, has been 17 per cent, so we are told by the commercial agencies, or a gain of 1 per cent per month. In January 45 out of a list of 107 staple articles of merchandise advanced In price. In 44 there was no change, and in only IS did the market quotations show a decline. The upward changes covered many of the most important products of the United States, and the effects of such advances upon the commerce and industries of the country were, exceedingly rncouraging. The only danger is that it was too mucn of a stimulus, 'n certain directions industrial activity has been crowded be yond the entire bounds of safety, and some serious reactions may be necessary to adjust conditions to a sound basis.

Aliles' Embalmed Beef. It is asserted by a Washington correspondent of the Chi cago Inter Ocean that Major John D. Black, the chief of com missary of General Miles' staff, is the author of the expres sion "embalmed beef." Two hundred tons of canned beef was consigned to Black and duly delivered on a wharf in Porto Rico, where it was left for a full month under a blis tering sun. In the meantime Miles had ordered that the army under him be supplied with "beef on the hoof." Later the canned beef was ordered issued as regular rations. The beef had been put up by Swift Co. Of course it was spoiled. Black had failed to do his duty in caring for the assignment The order for "beef on the hoof" presumably was issued by General Miles himself. Major Biack, when called to account exonerated himself from censure by plead ing that he did notknaw it was his duty to look after such supplies and by further asserting that he did not know the meat had been consigned to him. He could not tell, however, who issued the order to buy "beef on the hoof," although that came under the jurisdiction of his department It looks as though Miles and Black, and not Eagan, should be blamed. Samoa's Rightful King. Malietoa, whose succession to the throne of Samoa is opposed by the German consul, is the noblest born of all Somoans, and a direct descendant through twenty-three generations of Savea Malietoa I. He was carefullv educated In the Mission school, and though, on occasions, warlike, he is generally of a retiring and unassuming disposition. He is very studious in his (habits, and among his subjects he is considered a man cf great learnliur, wh.ih's abilities f-r diplomacy and statesmanship have been frequently dis played. Mataafa, his rival claimant for the throne, Is a man of great force of character and a rigid Roman Catholic. A Pompous President. There is little doubt that Faure dreamed of a possible crown. From a poor boy, a cabinet maker's son, he rose to pos:tion and power, not by the force of genius or from culti vated natural talents, but mostly from the luck of circum stances. He was not more than clever. H:i contact with royalty turned his head. He was proud and vain, and after he had been entertained as an equal by the Czar he aped royalty. One of his dreams and efforts was for the re-estab-l.shing of the customs and ceremonials of the court There has been a grave suspicion that he was preparing, if not plotting, to overthrow the republic of France with himself on top. In France many wild stories are told regarding public mea, and i: is possible that the president was misrep resented. It is certain, however, that he was thoroughly in lave with royal customs and ceremonials and exacted greater deference than most of the reigning kings of his time. Flissouri Bidding for a Fight. Kansas City promises to become the head center for another, but not an entirely new, attraction. A bill is pend ing before the Missouri legislature, presumably in the inter est of that town, countenancing and regulating boxing exhi bitions, that Is, glove contests; in other words, prize fight ing. Fltzsimmons, Sharkey, et aL would rather fight in Missouri than in Wyoming; because of the chancas for a larger crowd and a bigger purse. Kansas Cky will do any-' thing for money, and the standard f morality for the entire etate is cot heaven high. Thore are a fnv respectable c:m- How Much Money Per Capita. The per capita circulation of the United States of February 1, according to the treasury statement just issued, amounted to $25.42, the highest ever recorded In the history of the country. The total gold circulation is now, in round num bers, 5G97.000.000 against 5351,500,000 twelve months ago, an expansion" of no less than $145,500,000 in twelve months. The per capita circulation of gold is now $9.25, an increase of 89 cents, or 4.4 per cent for the month. The entire circu lation per capita twenty years ago was only $15.52, or $6 07 in excess of the aotual gold circulation at the present time. The latest figures indicate that In the period named the per capita circulation has increased $10.10, or over 65 per cent.

Count D'Almenas of Spain wants "Weyler, Blanco, Cer vera and Linares shot This may be all right so far as it concerns "Weyler, but the question is: What would Count D'Almenas have done had he been in command at Santiago? Cuba's greatest present danger Is the debility of Gomez If Gomez should die Cuba would want for a leader and would nave to lane -ucivimey, who, of course, in the Cuban view, doesn't amount to shucks compared to Gomez The inventor of angel food died in New York last week at the advanced age of S6. Angel food is the best cake made the purest and most palatable, and its inventor deserved to live twice that long. Lucy Rogers sat holding a large en velope which the postman had just brought Slowly she opened It Yes, it was as she thought, her returned manu script, with a printed notice declining the story. Lucy gave a bitter smile as she thought how manj like communica tions she had received. She was the daughter of a well-to-do farmer in a country village, and she had surprised her father one evening by an nouncing to him that she had decided to go to Boston to board for three months to devote herself to writing and begin a literary career for herself. Though Mr. Rogers demurred a little at first, he final ly consented, insisting, however, on her taking money enough along to last her for three months. The only other opposition she had to overcome was that of her Cousin Jack, who, being a third cousin, had no legal claim on her. He seemed to think he had, However, judging from his efforts to per suade her not to go. Finally he. said: Tell, I'll wager $50 you won't make a Ce"u to Bostontou of your imagination." That decided Lucy. She went Now the three months were almost passed, and so far Jack had been right She reflected that if she were a poor girl she might commit suicide, but. as she had plenty of money, even a dramatic end was denied her. She must be com monplace to the last. She became an tagonistic to fate. "Why must she fall? A week later, as Mr. Chapin. an afflu ent business man, was in his office in Tremont street, the door opened and a graceful young woman dressed in black entered. When Mr. Chanln astUeA hor It cVi would be seated, she told her story; that she had come from England, her birth place, only the day before; that, as she was of gentle birth, though now unex pectedly thrown into straitened circum stances, she had come to America, hav ing heard that here she could earn her daily bread without loaing case, something which would be impossible for her in En gland. Though Mr. Chapin was very favorably impressed by her frank, sincere manner, he had no office work for her, but took her name. Miss lreim Mnritenn. nnri v.or- addresse, in case he should hear of any thing in the future. At dinner that night, as he was telling his wife of the attractive young English girl, sho said: "Why didn't you engage her as a companion for me? You know, I've often spoken of havinsr one. Th evenings are so long when both you and Robert are away." Well, the outcome of it was that within a week Miss Madison was established at the Chapin house on Beacon street, and she had not been there two days before sho had transformed the somewhat grave household into a place of life and gayety. By means of her bright manner, her ma ny interesting stories about her life in England and her constant good nature, whether it was a question of picking out a new embroidery stitch or making up a table at whist, she made home so at tractive that Mrs. Chapin forgot her neu ralgia, Mr. Chapin neglected his evening paper, and even Robert, the son, occa sionally stayed at home in the evenings instead of going to the club. Meanwhile Mrs. Chapin was much inter ested In the leters Miss Madison told her about, which she received from a pros pective lord in England to whom she was betrothed. Although he would one day bo rich, now a decrepit old uncle stpod between him and the property, and they could not be married till the uncle should die a prospect full of dreariness to them both. But one day Miss Madison had strange news. Soon after the postman came she ran into Mrs. Chapln's room and breath lessly told her that she had just had a letter from her betrothed, in which he an nounced tho sudden death of his uncle and begged her to sail for England as soon as possible, saying that he would met her, and they would be married im mediately. Heasked her to buy what ever she needed for her trousseau in Bos ton, and said that he would send a check to cover her passage and all other ex penses. As the check kdld not arrive before the day sho had set sail, Mr. Chapin gladly advanced $200, being pleased to do as much as that for one of whom they were all so fond. Though young Mr. Chapin begged to be allowed to accompany her to New York, from where she was to sail, she stoutly refused to allow him to take so much trouble, and bade them all good-by at the Union station in Boston, promising to ca ble to them on her arrival in England. One morning, a week after this, as Mr. Chapin was sitting in his office, the door opened and Miss Madison walked in. As he gazed at her in speechless aston ishment she hastened to say: "The fact Is I have deceived you. My real name is Lucy Rogers, and when I found out that I couldn't write a story that anyone would read I made up my mind that I would pee if I couldn't live one that would interest some one. But now my story has come to an end. Though I have been a liar, I am not a thief, and I only borrowed the money from you partly to test whether you really ha3 confidence in me and partly to prove to Cousin Jack that I could make money out of my imagination. Fortu nately, I didn't need the money, so I re turn it. with thanks for that and all your other kindnesses," and laying an envelope on Mr. Chapin's desk, she was gone be fore that worthy gentleman could recover from his astonishment enough to utter a syllable. A month later Mrs. Chapin received an invitation to Miss Rogers' marriage to Cousin Jack. Miriam L. Snow in Boston Post Outlines of Oklahoma, John A Logan is running for city clerk at Shawnee.

CaMno, tho popular French simple ton, who performs in the humorous liter ature of France much the same function that the traditional Paddy does in English literature, has been made the subject of a grave study, in which his innocent stu pidities are carefully analyzed. He is nothing more or less htan a convenient personification of a type of hte harmless blunderer and complacent iackwit found in all ager and countnas. In France his sayings reflect, however, something of the picture&quenoss whici is character istic of the nation. Caiino's blundering?, it seems, began at an early age. He had not craft enough to tell a lie that would hold water for a moment. One day at eehood he got into a aght with a companion, and came homa with a srash on his forehead. "Hiw did you get that cut?" asked his faatsr. "What cut, papa?" "V'hy, that great gash on. your fore head." 1 wt myself there, papa. "Bit yourself: Why, you couldn't bite yourself or your forehead."
