Why Not Call Attention to Kansas ?
A week ago a republican paper of New
York, in a leading editorial article com
menting upon the lawless acts of the Sima
gang In A1 il inu said that the reason im
migrants did not seek homes in the south
instead of the west was that such acts
ph iwed a condition of society in the south
that was alarming to immigrants. The
paper did not explain that 81ms and his
followers are a lot of religious fanatics and
outlaws, ad that the people of that section
of Alabama in which the lawless acts hare
been committed have been doing all in their
power to have the law-breakers arrested
and punished. The entire tenor of the
article was to create the impression that
lawlessness is the rule rather than the ex
ception in the south. The aim of the paper
was to create a false Impression with re
spect to the south, and influence home
seekers to keep away from the southern
states.
liut why is It that the same paper has noth.
Ing to say about the assassination society
that is terrorising Southwest Kansas? Ills
said that in the counties of Haskell, Grant,
Stevens and Seward there are at least sixty.
five members of this society, and they have
already killed a sheriff and severely
wounded several deputy sheriffs. Their
main purpose at present is to kill Judge
Botkin of the clrouit court and a number of
attorneys and county authorities who are
not dispoeed to do their bidding.
The opinion is expressed that the mem
bers of the society are In very little danger
of being punished because the great ma
jority of the people in the counties men
tioned appear to be in sympathy with them.
It would therefore be a difficult matter to
gdt a jury that would convict them, even if
sufliclent proof against them could be
obtained.
But why is it that the republican news
papers do not call attention to the lawless
ness whioh exists in Sooth western Kansas—
lawlessness, such as can be found nowhere in
the south? There are family fueds in the
mountain regions of the south, and
now and then lawless bands like
that of Sims', but assassination
socioties don’t take root and flourish iu
southern soil. The truth is, the south is as
free from lawlessness as any other section
of the country, and If it were not for the
crimes of the ignorant b lacks there would
be fewer criminals In her penitentiaries in
pro|iortion to the population than in the
north.
If the Ropublloan party were strong in
the south the tone of the republican press
would tie altogether different in dealing
with southern affairs. As long, however,
as that party is so greatly in the minority
as to be hardly worthy of notice the south
ern states w ill be misrepresented by the re
publican press.
Greater New York.
That is a big scheme before the Now York
legislature—tho one to consolidate under one
government the city of New York, the
county of Kings, which includes Brooklyn,
the county of Hichmood, which iucludes
half a dozen cities, ami a groat deal of other
territory. No doubt Jersey City and other .
New Jersey towns would be included if a
state line were not in the way.
New York is getting ambitious to be the
biggest city in tho world, and if tbe peud
ng scheme is sanctioned by the legislature
aud tho people she will be, probably, go far
as territory is oonoerned, and the time is
not very distant when she will approaoh
London in population.
It is not proposed to bring Brooklyn and
the outlying towns into the municipality of
New York unless the people of those towns
are willing. The bill before the lugislature
only provides for submitting the scheme to
the people. But the impression seems
to bo that they will not reject
it, though it is not easy to
see why they should accept it. Now York
city has a heavy debt and her taxes are very
high. If consolidation takes place the
taxos will be the same probably In all of
tho consolidated towns. In some of tho
towns tho taxes are now pretty high but
they are still considerably below thoßO of
New York.
But if consolidation should take place the
greater New York would spread over the
new territory very rapidly. Tho prices of
land would iucresse immensely. Many of
those who now own land oa Btnteu Island
and hi other parts of the consolidated ter
ritory would be millionaires in a little while.
But whether consolidation takes place or
not there will be some remarkable changes
in Now York in the next decade.
In resigning from the chairmanship of
the oommittee on interstate and foreign
commeroe, Mr. Mills asserts his willingness
to serve in tbe ranks. The incident will be
inflated and made to appear as indicating a
widening breach between the speaker and
Mr. Mills, but a deliberate aud unbiased
view of It shows no such thing. Mr. Mills
wished to be chairman of tbe ways
and means committee, aud hav
ing served lu that capacity before,
does not desire to head a committee
of less importance. He has a record which
is a part of history in connection with
tariff reform, and ib not willing to detract
from it by being identified prominently
with legislation whioh h 6 regards as of less
note. Being relieved of tbe rosponsibility
of a oommittee, he can devote more atten
tion to the prinoiple to which he is devoted,
and fighting “iu the ranks” can do yeoman
service agaiDSt tariff iniquities.
The promissory note marriage is evi
dently a failure. The way it works is this:
A man ami a woman sign an agreement to
the effect that they are married, and con
sider the partnership settled. Loie Fuller,
a Florida girl, who lived near Tampa, but
who is now an actress, made an arrange
ment of that kind with William B. Hayes,
a New York colonel, and later sho found out
that ths colonel bad already taken unto
himself a wife. At the instigation of Loie
the doubly married Mr. Hayes was arrested
Wednesday on a chargo of bigamy.
Tbe St. Louis Bepublio is very much mis

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1892.
Give the Negro a Chance.
It Is almost the universal practice in the
south to date every event of importance
from the time of the war; such-and-such a
thing happened before the war, such an
other thing took place so many years after
the war, or he was so many years old when
the war broke out. It sounds odd, proba
bly, to a visitor in tb9 south, but the
native s have become accustomed to it and
better comprehend a statement when tnat
form is used.
Iu South Carolina the war times date
more particularly attaches to matters of
history or domestic affairs, but the chief
time of reckoning in politics Is the Hamp
ton campaign in 1876. In every discuss: n
on the stump that year, “memorable ’76,”
is sure to figure, and generally with good
effect. But it appears that democratic re
gard for the Hampton year has gone be
yond the bounds of reason, when the state
executive committee prescribes that no ool
ored inan who did not vote for Hampton in
'76 shall be allowed membership in demo
cratic organizations.
The date of the negro’s conversion to dem
ocratic doctrines is more than apt to have
been a later day, but un
der the rule he is cot to be
allowed a voioe in the actions of the party
on a vote in its council a Heretofore it has
been the policy of democratic organisations
in the south to welcome the acquisition of
oolored voters to the ranks of the party of
the people without other qualiflcations than
undoubted proof of sincerity, and many
colored men who did not vote for Hampton
in ’76 have since voted with the Democratic
party of South Carolina.
It is not good politics, nor a feasible way
to settle the “negro question” In the south,
to impose such restrictions upon him
as to make it impossible for him to join
the democrats in the effort to perpetuate
good government. The negro more than
ever before realises at the present time that
his best interests are in line with the Inter
ests of the white people of the south,
and frequently he is disposed to further
those interests by an intelligently cast
ballot. But if the prohibitory ideas of the
South Carolina democratic executive
committee were to become gon
ral, there woull be no further need
of missionary political work among
the blacks, and they could not, in
justice, be blamed for voting solidly with
the party which, while not subserving their
interests to any appreciable extent, is at
least disposed to acoord them a voice and a
vote.
The South Carolina resolution declares
the democracy a close corporation, with no
desire to get rid of the bug-a-boo, the “re
publioan negro in politics." The most cer
tain specific against negro domination
which the politicians so much fear is for
the democracy to assimilate him, which
would certainly be less distasteful and more
satisfactory tbau almost any means that
could be adopted.
Reform In the Right Direction.
Within tho last year or two there has been
a steady growth in publio sentiment against
a further increase in the pension burden.
Twenty years ago the leading men of the
Bepubiican party thought that the pension
charge would not exceed $;10,000,000 annu
ally. TJndor the shrewd management of
the Washington pension agents, aided by
the cowardice of congressmen, the annual
charge will soon reach 8150,000,000.
A society has been started iu Washington
for tbe purpose of h-.ving the names of ail
of those struck off the ponsion roll who are
able to earn a support for themsslvoi and
families by cither brain work or manual
labor, and to have the pension of those in
creased who are totally unable to help
themselves. The society will begin its work
by having a resolution introduced Into the
House directing an investigation of
the pension roll for the purpose
of finding out who are really deserving of
government assistance and who are able to
take care of themselves. It is said that only
about fI.OUO of the 600,000 pensioners are
drawing pensions for total disability. The
amount they get is barely sufficient to pro
vide them with fo >d and clothes. According
to the principles of the reform society
these 3,000 ought to have their pensions
considerably increased, while tons of thou
sands of those who are milking a living or
much more than a Hying should have their
peusious withdrawn from them. It is esti
mated that if pensions were paid only to de
serving disabled veterans the pension charge
would be reduced to about 850,000,000 a
year.
It is not probable that tho reform society
will be able to get cougress to annul any
thing that has been done, but by creating a
healthy public sentiment with respect to
pensioners, it may prevent any more legisla
tion increasing the pension burden. If it
does that it will deservo the thanks of the
people.
The coins of tho uew issue are going to
prove a lot of trouble to everybody. The
25-cent pieces look exactly like a? 10 gold
piece eroept as to color, aud the nickels do
not have ou them the word “cents," as at
present Already sharpers are gliding tho
25-cent and the 5-cent piooes and passing
them for $lO and |5 in geld respectively.
Look out for them.
Boulanger dead continues to disturb the
French chamber almost ns much as ever did
Boulanger living. That scene of whaoks

days. Three duels of the orthodox kind re
sulting from the incident amount to noth
ing.
“Brlgglsm” has been revived in religious

Whan Edison’s new war apparatus is
adopted by the army, the soldier will no

A dead man was tried in a Philadelphia
court this week for keeping a “speak-easy”
drinking saloon—that is a place where
liquor is sold without a license. The ver

penalty would have been had the cadaver
been convicted cannot be conjectured.
The evolution of a prixa fighter into a
“statesman” is witnessed at recurring inter

establish a national school of athletics,
which is about as valuable to the great pub

Arbitration Is the Proper Thing.
From the Philadelphia Ledger ( Ind, ).
There is nothing that the present federal
administration is so clearly and strongly com
mitted to as the principle of arbitration. The
exploitation of It is as tbe corner stone of Pres
ident Harrison's late admirable message, and it
was not only the cornerstone, but the founda
tious of tbe Secretary of State s grand and im
posing plan for the unification and the binding
together in fraternal relations of all the Ameri
can republics. The administration stands com
mitted, from spur to plume, to exhaust all
means for peace before eveu considering war,
and tbe country is not at all convinced that al'
such means have been exhausted, aud until it
shall be so convinced it will not regard with
favor a resort to war.
An Elephant in Mustard Piasters.
Queen Jumbo and Baidy, the elephants, at
tracted several thousands of people, old and
I young, to the park yesterday, ssys the fan
! Francisco Ejrn-niner. The day was cold and
1 lowering overhead, while the earth was damp,
but the children fon lied their big friends as -o
thusiastically as ever, and expended ad the
small change to be had la corn and peanuts
with as much abandon as though the -un had
been snining queeo Jumbo had s bad time a
little whi e ago with the ‘tnumps.’’ When a
child suffer# from c .ills and then becomes
fevered and has lung trouble it is only pneumo
nia. but when an elephant suffers in the same
way the trouble is “thumps.'’ Queen s huge
bulk shivered and shook, and she whined com
plamingly until Keeper Pett began to give her
medicine. This first dose was two gallons of
whisky with flve ounces of quinine, and he had
much trouble in getting Queen to take it. The
dose did little good, and Queen grew worse
until "thumps” were plainly to be detected.
Then It was a case of lite and death, and the
keeper set to wort in a hurry. He built a big
fire in the elephant Louse and hung blankets
close to it until they were very hot. and then
wrapped them around Queen Another man
put 100 pounds of strong English mustard
into a barrel and mixed it with
water, like any other mustard plaster
is made The mustard was then smeared on
doth, and the monstrous plasters appl ed to
Queen's sides. Soon her ladyship showed signs
of uneasiness. She felt along her sides with her
trunk, stepped about constantly, and seemed to
wonder what was t e matter. As the mustard
took a hold more severely Queen tried to bear
away tbe bandages, and, when jibbed by the
keeper's hook, she begaD screaming like a steam
whistle. The plasters were left in position three
hours and then removed, and Queen again
wrapped in hot blankets and dosed with whisky
and quinine. Alter awhile she began to per
spire. as elephants always do.turough thetrunk,
and her keeper knew that she was saved.

If 1 should happen to fall over my feet or any
thing like that as we do that confounded march
up the aisle, just brace me up witn a word or
two, will you?
Old Chap (gayly)—Why, certainly. Beres
ford, old boy, you depend on me and I’ll put
you through iu great shape, Asa best man, I
trot in a class all by mysalf.
Beresford—And you won’t let me forget the

"You'li be letter perfect.”
“And it I get scared and start to skip out be

will you?”
"Not in a hundred."
"If Uncle Jim collects a weeping jag at the
wedding hreakfast and starts in to recite any
th ng touching, can i depend on you to choice
him off?"
"I'll talk him into a trance.”
“There's just one more thing I want to ask of
you.”
"What is it, Beresford?"
"If you hear of anybody who intends to
spring a wedding gift clock ou Helen, stop
em.”
"Anything wrong with a clock?”
“So far she’s got seven of ’em, and eight sets
of oyster forks."
At this point the swagger girl giggled so
loudly that the conversation suddenly ended.
Mr. McAllister's New Year’s Ball.

WARD MCALLISTER.

New York City,
Saturday, 18th November 1891.
For two months this well set forth idea has
been incubating. Last night it was hatched
out—gloriously, florally, terpsichoreauiy, gas
tronoinically hatched out.
Perhap3 no ukase from social headquarters
over caused such a commotion in town. The
wording, the punctuation, the capitals, the jolly
dou’t-cher-know old-boy sort of stylo that per
vaded the who e document took like the grip.
"Wethiiik such a ball should be given in this
city at least once in two years.”
Why, of course,” said every oue, “why not?
since we are one of the *we’s* taken right into
the leader’s confidence.”
“To include General Society (the best ele
ment of it).”
Tea as It Should Be.
Here is an extract from an interesting lecture
delivered by Sir Andrew Clark the other day to
the students of the London Hospital:
“Tea is a blessed beverage, I do not know
what 1 should do without it. But there is tea
and tea; and one of the teas which I iiave in my
mind is the representation of all that is physi
ologically wicked.
“I go about town a good deal holding con
sultations here and there, and about 5 o'clock
when 1 get into a place, the lady of the house
will say to me: ‘Sir Andrew, you look tired do
let me give you a cup of tea.' I say: 'Thank
you very much.’
“But the tea has stood for half an hour, and
she remarks: ‘I know you do not like it strong,
Sir Andrew,’ aud then she puts about a table
spoonful of tea into the cup and fills it up w ith
water.
“Now, I call it positive cruelty to give tea like
that to anybody, and I hope you gentlemen will
always set your face against such a b-verage.
“Tea, to be useful, should be, first of ail,
black China tea—the Indian tea whioh is being
cultivated has become so powerful in Its effects
upon the nervous system that a cup of it taken
early in the morning, as many people do, so dis
orders the nervous system that those who take
it actually get into a state of intoxication, and
it produces a form of nerve disturbance which
is most painful to witness
“If you want to have, either for yourselves or
for your patients, tea w liicn will not injure and
which will refresh, gvt black China tea, putting
in the right measure—the ol ! fashioned tea
spoonful for each persou, and one for the
blessed pot. Then pour on briskly boiling
water, and within five minutes you must pour
it off again, or it will become wicked insteud of
good.”
Everybody Knows Him.
From the Boston Gazette.
O, there’s an individual who everywhere
abounds;
Through cars and shops and offices he makes
his busy rounds,
And in and out forever he is going o’er and
o'er.
To keep somebody after him attending to the
door.
In sultry summer, when to catch a cooling
breeze we’ve tried.
And carefully have opened every door and win
dow wide,
’Tis then you may be certain, as he vanishes
from sight.
He’ll die but that he’ll close the door, and close
it very tight.
But when the winds of winter come with cold
and biting breath,
O, then is when the awful wretch is tickled most
to death.
His sense of pleasure reaches to a point that is
sublime;
He never fails to leave the door wide open
every time.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Ths new German artillery, which will shortly
be introduced, is said to be the most terrible
war instrument ever produced. Experiments
made at the Interbogk ranges deeply impressed
the experts, the kaiser being present. The first
s iot fired at a target placed 50 paces from a
wood, missed the target, but ploughed its way
through the woods for 1,800 feet. The splinters
of a sheii burst by the new powder over a circle
of 900 feet. A shell fired at an enormous tar
get, constructed by the emperor's orders, cov
ered it with tens of thousands of holes. A bat
tery of the new artillery would. It is assured,
annihilate an entire division, once the range
was found.
There are fashions in tombstones as well as
in sealskin sacques or spring bonnetts. says the
Philadelphia Press. There is not a very wide
range to the fashion, but it is pronounoed. Just
now marble is “not in it" in a monumental
way. ’! ho change from marble to granite has
been going on steadily for the past year or two
"If I were to cut a tine marble monument and
put it out on exhibition in the front of my
yard." said an uptown sculptor of memorial
figures and tombsto e<, "i should consider it
just so much money badly invested, if not lost.
There is little or no demand for marble now.
Granite is tasing its place. Why? Because in
this climate it is more enduring; it is not so
easily soiled as marble and is more easily kept
clean. There is a constant demand for granite,
and if you look through the marble yards in
Phi a ielphia you will find that it predominates
in ail the display pieces.”
Tnz first two weeks of 1892 will be remem
bered in English history as a fatal fortnight.
The long obituary of last year sinks into insig
nificance when compared with the death record
of the last fourteen days. England has lost the

age. Tne Roman cnurch mourns for Cardinals
Manning and Simeon! and the archbishops of
Genoa and Camurai. The English bishops Phil

more. Science and literature are
deprived of the services of Emile de

in vain at the operdng of parliament, and no
future army list will contain the names of Gen.
Sir George Maxwell, Col. Hyde Villiers or Col.
Sir Spencer Clifford. The world of music loses
Joseph Blaes, reformer of the clarinet, and
Henry Dorn of Berlin, who was an infant
prodigy when Waterloo was fought, and Choi

debutant iu 1818.
A returned traveler relates some curious
stories about Thibet, says the China Mail. An
old monk, about 70 years old, is said to be a
god who has come to this worla fora temporary
sojourn. In his previous existence he was the
head monk of the old temple in which he lives
now. One day he called together his followers
and told them that his soul would leave its
abode to be boru again on a certain day in a
certain family; that they should assemble at
the time of his new birth in the house and wel
come his ari-ival with prayers, and that he
would show his knowledge of them by lifting
up a certain light musical instrument out of a
number placed before the infam. The
eventful day came; toe followers marched
in procession to the bouse indicated;
the infant was brought forth, pray
ers were read, and strange, but
true, the infantile lips moved as if in prayer,
tbe puny hands wandered about the table,
touched several musical instruments, found the
right one, and heid it up for a second, tnou
dropped it. His parents were greatly rejoiced
at having a prodigy in their midst. At the age of
7 he was made a monk and returned to the tem
ple. He again became the head one. The year
before last, when the English surveyors entered
Thibet, one day the aged monk was fasting
with closed eyes. Suddenly he exclaimed:
“Strangers have entered our country hundreds
of li from this place. These strangers are wily,
experienced and deeply crafty. Tell the people
to guard against them.’’ This monk often said
he Would depart at 80 years of age from this
mortal earth and then re-enter It in anew form.
The blessing of the river Neva (Russia) took
place at St Petersburg on Thursday, Jan. 18, to
the presence of tbe czarina and other members
of the royal family. The ceremony assumes
the proportions of u national pageant and has
been thus described: “ Close to the chief
entrance of the winter palaoe a small platform
is run out from the granite quay of the Neva
supporting a tiny pavilion with a blue dome
shaped roof, whence a plank stair leads down to
the frozen riv.-r. A narrow passage is kept
open between this pavilion and the palace gate
by two gray walla topped with steel, formed by
the soldiers of the Imperial Guard in their long
frieze overcoats. AH around it the forest of
yellowish brown turrets and pinuaoles sur
mounting the winter palace and the golden
lance of she admiralty tower beyond the boule
vard and the granite column of Alexander I.
in ihe great square between them look
■down upon a sea of closely packed heads
and shoulders The great pontoon bridge
leading to the island of Vasili Ostroff is
crowded to the very balustrades. and tbe gaunt
whiteness of the silent Neva itself is blackening
with creeping swarms of spectators As the
sharp bai g of the mid-day gun peals ou the
frosty air me ?r.-nt mass trembles with a quiver
aud hum of expic atlun. 'lhen tbe palace gate
is so; II to swing s-owly back, aud forth steps a
single figure, it may be the czar himself. But
t <■ mighty shout that rolls along the frozen
Neva and echoes back from tie walls of the
Petropaulovsk ci' and i like a peal of distant
tuuiid r shows that the spell of Imperialism hai
not yet lost its pow er m Ru-wia Then she hign
priest descends the stair to an opening previ
ously cut in the ice, and -tipping the cross in
ttie dark waters beneath pronounces the words
of consecration. And as they are spoken
the pale gleam of sunlight, that is if the
sun does shine, falling through the cold
gray sky upon the gorgeous robes and
flowing hair of the solitary figure that utters
them seems like the fading glory of Russia's
past throwing its last rays into the deepening
darkness of her present,” According to an
cient custom the czar drinks some of the river
water out of a goblet furnished for the occasion
by the city. Iu return the czar was supooged to
return the goblet to the chief magistrate of St.
Petersburg filled to the brim with gold pieces.
But the custom bad its inconveniences. That
drink used to cost more to the emperor than
Cleopatra's celebrated toast to Marc Antony.
Eacti year the goblet grew till it attained huge
proportions It became every vear more and
m re a burden on the Little Father to fill the
goblet with money, and at last it was decided
that the czar should pay a specific sum instead
as a yearly present to the chief magistrate
