Building is quite active now throughout the city, and it promi e3 to continue so during the summer. There is a steady and active demand for all the houses that are built. The water supply question i3 the subject of a good deal of discussion in this city at present. It is sincerely, to be hoped that it will continue to be discussed with earnest ness until it is finally settled. The most distinguished preacher of Kansas City, the Rev. Dr. Jesse Bowman Young, expressed the opinion from the pulpit last Sunday that Kansas City is about the worst city on the face of the earth. The city is undoubtedly a first-class place for missi m iry w irk. Cedar Key has finally got rid of its bull dozing mayor and has elected uis successor. The bulldozer announced that he would never return to Cedar Key. From all ac counts the announcement was received with great satisfaction. It is alleged that many of the best people had determined to go if Cottrell had stay id. Represe itative Ben Buttsrworth says that he voted for the McKinley bill because he is in the caravan of the Republican party, and that while he protested against the course of the driver and eve.i tugged at therei s. he wasafraid that if he alternated to face the team witu a bludgeon he would be run over and trampled upon. He con cluded that the wiser course for him was to stay in the caravan. Butterwortb has a reputation for discretion. The Republican Plan Revealed. The speech of Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Clarkson, at t >e banquet of the Nor folk Club, a synopsis of which was pub lished lu oar dispatches yesterday, together with the announcement of the purpose of the republican majority in the House to seat three or four col >red contest mts from I the south, indicates clearly that t ie repub | iieans intend to pass a federal election law | and also to make tbs congressional cam paig 1 this fall a bloody shirt one. Mr. Clarkson is soon to leave the post office de partment, but be may re nai 1 in Washing ton and conduct the republican congres sional campaign. The President has re quested him to do so, and no more bitter and u scrupulous politician could be found for that work. He knew very well when, during his Nor folk speech, he was t ili ng the story of the Abbeville (S. C.) poetoffice affair, that he was giving a wrong impression of it. It was not his purpose, however, to keep close to the truth. He desired to create a senti ment hostile to the south, and hence he related what the colored mau who had been appointed postmaster at Abbeville bad told him instead of what he had learned from other and more reliable witnesses. That Abbeville affair was fully ventilated in the House, and the South Carolina con gressman who represents the Abbeville dis trict gave the facts. The story which the congressman told was a very different one from that told by the colored er-p 15tmas ter, and it made it clear that ho such out rage was committed as was allege 1. But Mr. Clarkson did not confine himself to the Abbeville affair. In the course of his speech he roamed all over the south, making charges of one kind and another against the southern people. He had no evidence whatever of the truth of these charges. They were the result of impres sions which he bad received in talking with all kinds of irresponsible black and white politicians from the south. There is no fair minded man who will not admit that Mr. Clarkson’s speech was un just to the south—that it was, iu fact, an uncalled for and outrageous attack upon the southern peoplfe. But Mr. Clarkson un doubtedly had a purpose in view. He knew his speech would be telegraphed over the country, and he wantei it to indicate the character of the campaign the republicans expect to carry on in the congressional elections, and also to assist the republican leaders in congress in their efforts to pass a federal election law. The republicans are not sure that public sentiment will sustain them in passing a federal election law, and tney are trying to change it so that it will sustain them. They know very well that the three white demo cratic representatives whom they purpose to unseat, in order to give their places to three colored republicans, were fairly elected. Their object in unseating them,ho wever,is to strengthen the impression in the north that there are no fair elections in the south, and that a republican, particularly a colored re publican, cannot get aa office uader any circumstances. The democrats being in the minority are forced, of course, to endure this injustice, but it is certain that they will not forget it. The opportunity will come for retaliation, and it will bo improved. The people will not continue to support a party that so misuses its power a id employs such unfair and even disreputable methods to gain its ends. A Wrecked Syndicate. It is probable that Mr. Blaine, the secre tary of state, gets some satisfaction out of the fact that he had put an end to the scheme of a lot of San Diego adventurers to capture Lower California and annex it the United States before the newspapers heard of it. However, it doesn’t apnea" that the scheme would have been carried out even if the government at Washington had not caused its sudden collaps >. If the accounts of the affair are to be re lied upon, a number of San Diego capital ists formed a syndicate to c .pture Lower California. They are supposed to have been acting for the Mexican Lind Coloni zation Cimpany, whihh is composed of wealthy Englishmen, and which has aa im mense amount of land in the territory that was to be captured. Thess wealthy En glishmen concluded that their lan is would never be worth anything as long as the territory remained a part of Mex ico. They therefore offered the San Diego syndicate SIOO,O JO to bring the territory under the jurisdiction of the American flag. The syndicate, it seems, had two plans for getting possession of the territory, but had decided upon neither. One was to capture Ensenada, the chief town of the territory, together with the Mexican officials sta tioned there, and the other was to invits the Mexican officials to a big frolic ou board of a steamer, get the n drunk, and then im prison them until possession of the territory had been taken and a revolutionary govern ment establis led. The impression In San Francisco aoDears to be that, notwithstanding the improba bility of the scheme being successful, an attempt would have been m ide by the syn dicate to earn the money promised it. There are men ready for almost any undertaking which offers big rewards,however impossible it seems to be. Had the Sin Diego syndi cate attempted to carry out its scheme it would have failed, of course, because the United States would not have accepted the territory from a lot of ad venturers. The Mexican government would have captured the bold land robbers, in all probibility, and there would have been a dead syndicate instead of a wrecked one. The young doctors of Vienna, Austria, have discovered that the wisor course to pur sue when they have offended a Croatian girl is to apologize as quickly as possible. Dr. Carl Bender spoke lightly of a friend of Maiwa Schalski, who was educated in Gaotemala. She sent him a challenge. He said the idea of fighting a girl was ridicu lous. She notified him that he intis; fight or take a horsewhipping. He conclu led to fight. A room was hired in the suburbs and swords were chosen as the weapons. Only the principles and their seconds were present. The girl, although only 19 years of age, wounded the doctor severely at the seco id encounter. The duel was then de clared to be at an end. Tae seconds,ware astonished at the facility the girl showed in handling a sword. It is a subject of complaint iu London that Stanley is not prompt in keeping his engagements. He is never in time at din ners and receptions giveu in his honor. Perhaps he thinks he is of so much import tance that those who desire to honor him take pleasure in overlooking his social shortcomings. He will have to be on hand on his wedding day, however. Miss Ten nant is reported to be a girl who will not stand any nonsence, even from one who has seen the lights and shadows of the dark continent. THE MORNING NEWS: SUXDAY, MAY 25, 1890—'TWELVE PAGES. End of the Mormon Church. It looks very much as if the Mormon church has come to an e id. It is doubtful if the ablest of the Morm >ns see any f utu e for i - . The government has boon at war with it for more than a third of a century, and. from present appearances, has virtually destroyed it The Elmunds law, which takes away its charter, provides for wind ing up its aff iirs and authorizes the proceeds of tae sale of its property to bo turned into the federal treasury, has been sustained by the federal courts of the territory and by the United States supreme court. The Mormons fought this law vigorously and bitterly, but unsuccessfully. It has been pronounced coastitutional and will be en forced. There are Mormons, of course, who will cling totheMirmon faith, bat the power which comes from organization no longer exists. The young Mormons, both men and women, will soon break away from the faith of their fathers and will disregard their teachings. No Mormon has a right to vote until he has taken the anti-polygamy oath. Indeed, he cannot bo considered as enjoving the full measure of citizenship until he has taken that oath. There are very few Mor mons who will consent to be shut out from participation in public affairs, particularly i-ince the foundations of their church have been removed and the whole structure has fallen to pieces. Immigrants are pouring into the terri tory—Gentile immigrants—and in a little while the Gentiles will bs largely in the ma jority. Public sentiment will then bo over whelmingly against Mormonism, and under its influence the Mormons will gradually lose their identity. They wiil be assimi lated, and Mormonism will become a memory. The Mormons have made a strong fight for a bad cause. It is a source of satisfaction that the fight is virtually over. The Abel Case. It looks very much as it the mayor thinks, once in a while, that he has about the same jurisdiction as the superior and city courts. William Abel was before him yesterday morning on three charges. One was for disorderly conduct, one was for carrying a concealed weapon and one wa3 for attempt ing to shoot the policeman who arrested him. Instead of committing him to jail to await the action of the grand jury for the felony the mayor fined him $57 and sent him to jail to answer before the city court the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Wasn’t the mayor a little hasty in settling the charge of feloniously assaulting a police man in such an off-hand way i Tnere doesn't seem to be much use of grand juries and the superior court if charges of telonv are to be disposed of in so summary a fashion. However, the mayor may have had some reason for his course in this mat ter. If he had the public would like to know what it is. The Senate and the Tariff Bill. It seems to be the understanding in Wash ington that the Senate finance committee will not c n3ider the McKinley bill at all, but will frame an entirely new bill. If that course is adopted it is quite certain that no tariff bill will be reported to the Senate before the middle of next month. If that should be the case it is doubtful if any tariff bill would be passed at this ses sion. Unless the rules of the Senate should be changed it would not be possible to pass a tariff bill until each senator had discussed it as long as be wanted to and offered as many amendments as ha desired. Under such circumstances it would be an easy matter to keep the bill in the Senate a moDth or more. If the Senate should throw aside the McKinley bill altogether the time spent in framing and passing that bill would be virtu ally wasted. It is said that the leading repub licans on the finance com uittee are of the opinion that they couid frame anew bill much sooner than they could amend the McKinley bill so that it would satisfy the republican senators. There are several republican senators who do not like the McKinley bill, and would not vote for it unless it should bs greatly changed. They know that it is not popular with their constituents, and that they would be committing political suicide by supporting it. It is well understoo 1 that quite a number of the republican members of the House would not have voted for it if they had thought that it would meet with the approval of the Senate. If the Senate undertakes to frame ano’her bill it will have a good deal of hard work to do during the warm weatner. As many as 2,009 persons have requested the Senate finance committee to give them a hearing. If thecommitteeshoul l bear all who want to be heard, no bill would bo reported to the Sen ate before next winter. It will probably grant a hearing only to those who can fu. - nish some special infoi m ition and to those the committee can't afford to ignore. Ingalls' Big Ideas. Recently, in an interview, Senator In galls said that it was not improbable that men now living would see steamships from European ports ascending the Mississippi river and discharging their cargoes at St. Louis. The senator was talking for effect when he made this statement, or else he knows very little about the Missis ippi river. It is highly probable that the engineers who now have charge of the Mississippi riv r improvements would be entirely satisfied if, by the expenditure of $100,000,000, they could make the river navigable, at a low stage of water, for the light-draught steam ers which now run upon it. The distance from New Orleans to St* Louis by the Mississippi is about 1,200 miles, while the distance be tween those two cities by rail is not much more than 500. Freight rates on rail roads are steadily declining, and long before the river could be made navigable for ocean steamers, even if it were possible to make it so, it would be cheaper to trans port freights from New Orleans to St. Louis by rail than by ocean steamers. There is nothing to be gained, therefore, by making a channel twenty or twenty-five feet deep from the jetties to St. Louis. In many places the channel is not more than four or five feet deep when the river is low, and bars are being formed all the time. The channel changes frequently. One week it is on one side of the river and the next week it is on the other side. The improvement for deepening the low water channel has been quite effective, but it has not given more than a couple of feet more of water in the shallow places. When Senator Ingalls talks about a chan nel from the gulf to St. Louis that wifi ac commodate ocean going vessels, he is simply trying to advertise himself. He ought to abandon such sensational methods if he does not want to be classed as a crank. PERSONAL. A statue to the memory of Seth Boyden, the inventor, was recently unveiled in Newark, N. J. The statue represents Mr. Boyden as a mechanic, with one hand on the anvil. The King of Italy’s health since the death of his brother, the Duke of Aosta, has caused considerable anxiety. Nothing can rouse him from his state of profound melancholy. On* of the jolliest of the members of the United States Senate is Senator Wolcott of Colorado. He is short, thick-set and broad of beam. His fund of humor is well nigh inex haustible. Mrs. Giacom mxtti Prodgers, the terror of London cabmen, is dead. Her habit was to drive the fullest possible and stance for the money, pay the exact legal fare, and then cause the ar rest of the cabman for expressing his feelings. The French academy met the other day to choose a successor to Emile Augier, but no can didate secured the twenty votes requisite to an election. The chief contest lay between M. Manuel and M. Laviose. Zola received omy four votes. EIJ department or comparative philology has been established at Wellesly College, and Miss Helen L, Webster of Zur.cb, has been ap pointed its professor. Mrs. Julia J. Irvine, a graduate of Cornell University, has been ap pointed junior professor of Greek. There is a history attached to the clay pipes which Alphonse Daudet smokes. They originally belonged to Gustave Flaubert. Flaubert and Daudet were fast friends years ago, and when the author of “Salamuibo” died be left bis clay pipes as well as other things of more value to Daudet. Henry Villard is writing bis autobiography for the use of his children. He was born in Germany, and the story of his early days is written in German. His schooldays are de scribed in French, as he was educated in 1 ranee, an l his business aud social life is writ ten in English. Lord Herschpll presided recently at the an nual meeting of the International Arbitration and Peace Association. He remarked that many disputes between countries arose from small causes having grown into serious matters. If they were taken in ti ne and submitted to arbitration money and bloodshed might be saved. Mazzini's old coadjutor in resurrecting Italy. Aurelio Saflfl, recently died in Rome and left his small property to sev'ral public societies, to the detriment of his children, on the ground t at he considered it their patriotic duty to work for their own living. Just as he had done, the requirements of his revolutionary career never having allowed him to accumulate money. Considerable of a sensation has been caused throughout Hungary by the beautiful Countess Edmund Szeehentji. who was well-known about ten years i-ince in London society, being p aced under restraint. Her husband, wno was once reputed to be enormously rich, is now the chief of the Constantinople (Ire bri ;a le. The reason assigned for this action is that the countess is suffering from monomania. W. H. llcrlbert, the American journalist, who is at present residing in England, has brought out a volume, “France and the Re public,” which affords a capital insight into the worki g of the politicians who are making—or perhaps unmaking—modern France. Mr. Hurl bert considers that the rock the republic will split upon is the “Rock of Peter”—in other words, the religious questiou. BRIGHT BITS.

Two Kinds of coap. From the St. Louis Republic (Dem.). Hon. Cbauncey Ives Filley and his hoodlum stalwarts are once more the victims of bath tub treachery. The republican who uses soap on his person instead of in his polities is utterly unreliable from the stalwart standpoint. Keeping Their Word. From the Hew York Herald (huL\ Tbo republicans a-e all men of honor. When they captured the government they promised to knock tnat surplus into a cocked hat within two years. They are nobly keeping their word. Before the two years are up there won’t be enough of that surplus left to buy that cocked hat. He Got the Dollar. There is a good story told about Senator Palmer, says the New York Star, when he was living in Washington. It was his custom to go to church every Sunday morning, and Rise his custom to put a single dollar on the plate. As be passed into enuren one Sunday morning, ac companied by his private secretary, he began to search through his pockets with a dismayed look on his face. Turniug to his companion he a*ked for the loan of a dollar, explaining that he had nothing but as2 bill. Tne secretary could not accommodate the senator, but a bright thought suddenly seemed to strike the latter, and he exclaimed; “Ob. well, I can fix it.’’ "You wouldn't make change off the plate, would you?” asked the secretary, horrified at the thought. "Never mind how I will do it," replied the sen ator, “You will see it done.” When the plAte came around the senator gravely took ou his $2 bill, tore it in two pieces in the middle an j laid ODe piece on the plate. After the services were over he walked forward where the stewards were counting the collection money and as >ed the one had come down his aisle if a mutilated $2 bill had been found on the plate. “Yes, and we don’t know what to do with it,” was the mans reply. “Well,” said the senator, “here's the other half, ana you can have it for $!. That will make your half worth $1 to you, and $1 is all I ever give.” He got the dollar. Spokane Always a Hustler. Everybody in Spokane, says the Spokesman , knows Maj. Stout, the genial young attorney, who is as mild-mannered ss a fawn and as polite as a college boy. And yet everybody does not know that the major was once a fierce warrior with the vigilantes when Spokane was a baby. It was when Maj. Stout first shook the dust of the New York 1 1 ibune from his trousers and braved the wild norihwest along in 1882. Spo kane was then infested with a crowd of despera does, and Bob Knox was the fiercest of the lot. He had some trouble with James Glover on ac count of being ordered out of town, and rumor reached the Spokanites that Bob was up in Westwoods and had announced his intention of coming to Spokane and sending a streak of lead through Mr Glover and some other good citi zens. So vigilantes were organized and Maj. Stout addressed them. “If Bob comes.” said the major, “he will kill one or more good citizens, and then we would take him out and hang nira up. In my opinion that would only be a waste of good citizens. We know what Bob will do. and if we just meet Bob and string him up before he kills the citi zens they can be on hand to attend as pall-bear ers.” This was a novel plan. It was digested with the same ease as if Jt had been spring chicken, and the plan was formulated. There was to be a committee to wait for Knox, and when he en tered the saloon to fill up with oiled lightning he was to be surrounded and arrested. That night the church bell was to be rung as a sig nal, and before tbe mothers had repeated the prayers to the children Bob Knox was to have been floating with the angels. Of course Bob didn't swing. Someone gave him the tip aud he went through the town on a fast freight and never returned. But it shows what earnest, en ergetic and enterprising citizens Spokane had in her early days. Tapping a Shell. One day when I was at Glendale, Va., a couple of negro boys drove up with a mule and cart and began to dump out at the blacksmith shop a lot of stuff picked up on the battle field of Malvern Hid. There were bullets, buckles, stir rups, belt-plates, musket-barrels, rusty swords and bayonets, and io the lot was a loaded shell, which had been fired from a heavy field piece. The blacksmith was an old darkey, and the boys were his song, says the Detroit Free Frees. When he saw the shell he said: ' You git out wid dat yere foolishness! Didn't I dun tole you not to bring any roo’ of ’em yere?” One of the boys threw the shell aside, and then the old man went with me down the road to point out the public hitching post. We were gone about half an hour, and were within one hundred feet of the shop, when there was a loud explosion. A great hole was blown oilt of one side, and a part of the roof was bulged up. and the two boys came tumbling out through the smoke and ran against us. The old man grabbed one by the arm a ,and whirled him around and demanded: “Didn't I dun tole ye to let dat foolishness alone?’’ “She's 'splodedgasped the boy. “In co’se she "sploded, an’ now I’se gwine to ’splode you!” And he drew him to a shade tree, broke off a limb and tanned bis jacket till the boy yelled murder. T nen we entered the snop and found it almost a wreck. Tbe boys had placed the shell on an anvil and struck it with the sledge, and the anvil had been blown ten feet away. Miraculous as i. may seem, neither boy was in jured in the slightest. “Nich trifln’ can't be abeared,’’ growled the old man as he hunted around for his scattered tools. “Didn't I dun tole ’em to let dat non sense be? Didn’t I know dat dem yankees didn’t go an’ fill up deir shells wid co'nmeal and breeches buttons? Of co’se she "splode It was her bizness to 'splode. Now you sot down till I find Moses an’ wollop him, an' den I’ll tell you what part of dat fight I seed wid my own eyes.” Tbe Fair Theosophiat. From the Pall Hall Gazette. She cares not for the worldly things That e terrain the rest of us; She soars on spiritual wings Far, far above the best of us. She smiles, but yet declines to mix, With diffident apology. In mothers’ meetings, politics, Lawn tennis, or theology. Complacent, self possessed, and cool. Though curates come soliciting. She wJi not tea .'h the Sunday school, Nor venture district visiting. On churcu bazars she sets no store, Nor tickles our hilarity By singing “Ask a policeman" For the sacred cause of charity. So elevated is her mind. This life is far too rough for her. And orthodoxy cannot find A heaven good enough for her. She asks, and we forgive the sin In charming femininity, She asks to be a Chela in Thibet, or the vicinity. Severe the task! Yet she has found The proper means of learning it; She sits beside a table round And tries her hand at turnip? it. Severe the task! Bat who shall mock The skill she soon will get in it. Who sees her take a cucko > clock, And find a cigarette in it? How fair the vision when she plies Her search by hook or crook for it! Wha depth of meanin ; in those eyes, That wander round to look for it! Such quests. I well ca t understand. May rob tbe time of tedium; 8o let her hold me by the nand. And I will be her medium. Saved by the Proof-Reader. In a certain western newspaper office the gentleman whose business it is to report the fluctuations of the live stock market sits across from the young man to whose lot it falls to report wedding ceremonies. Both are graphic writers and enjoy that latitudeo( expression. character istic of western journalism, says the New York Times. Both use the same kind of paper and their penmansUiDis not unlike. Not long ago the wedding reporter was sud denly called out of the o uce and left in the middle of the table several sheets of paper, on which was a description of a fashionable wed ding. These sheets were gatuerei up by the live stock writer when he finished his report, and the two stories became mixed. This is what the zealous care of a proof reader, later in t e evening, saved from reaching the public eye: “The church was elaborately decorated with holly and evergreen, and the altar was hidden in a wealth of flowers. Out of the recesses rose rare tropical plants, and from the ceiling hung lifteen western veals, vhich at this time of y ar are scarce and correspondingly dear at cents a pound. There was also an active de mand for choice lambs, and farmers east of tbe Mississippi river can probably turn to sheep raising and take the bride, who wore a gown of white corded silk, a creation of AVorth's, with pearl ornaments. "Then came the maid of honor, the cousin of the bride. Miss Henrietta Blower, of Chicago, wearing a dress of whit? tulle with diamond or naments, and she was followed by a small bunch of Montana she -p, which ble ted most piteously as they were driven on board and snipped to the winter hotels iu Bermuda. They will t lere be cut en train and slightly decollete and after the rest of the party had reached the rail the min ister turned and said impressively: I canoot bid more than #4 cents for state veals, but ca blegrams from London quote refrigerated beef at a price that will enable me to pay $4 00 for a car of choice Indiana beeves;' and nearing this there was a rush for the young married couple, and the bride fell into the arm* of her father, who is known to bear a strikiog resemblance to’ —a Connecticut ox weighing 1.875 pounds. The m -rket took an upward turn, and the guests who numbered about two hundred, were served with a sumptuous dinner at the house of the bride." ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A committee is now investigating at Ravenna the precise locality where the urn containing the bones of Dante was in 1510. Previously the same committee discovered in a conv nt a Banning hy Giotto, containing a portrait of ante, the only really authentic portrait of him known.

It will perhaps assuage the discomforts of the coming summer to read some past experi ences w ith heat, compiled by a German statis tician. In the year 627 tue springs were dried up and men fainted with the h-at. In 879 it was impossible to work in the open fields. In the year 993 the nuts on the trees were “roasted” as if in a baker's oven! In 1,000 the rivers in 1 ranee dried up, and the stench from the aead fisn and other matter brought a pestilence into the land. The heat in the year 1014 dried up tue rivers and the brooks in Alsace Lorraine. The Rhino was dried up in the year 1132. In the y ar 1152 the heat was so great that eggs could be cooked in the saud. In 1227 it is recorded that many me i anil animals came by their death through the intmso heat.
