A revolution lias broken out in Para guay. Bevolutions in Central and South America are almost as frequent as ineasles in a large family. Our third-termists might emigrate. The Mexican government has almost de cided that the number of terms the president Eliall serve, shall be indefinite. Tli ere may be a great many objections to the New Jersey whipping post for horsetheives, but it must be allowed that it is an improvement over the California telegraph post. The story that Bob Ingersoll is read extensively in India is a little thin. IngersolTs chief attraction is liis manipu lation of the English language, which would all be lost in Hindoo.

The decision of the supreme court of the United States, in the Iowa "original liquor package'' case, is stirring up a good deal of discussion in Iowa and Kan sas. There are all kinds of opinions given of the result of the decision, the great majority holding that under that decision no state can prohibit a dealer from receiving liquors in original pack ages from another state and selling the same unbroken. The Topeka Capital goes so far as to say that the decision will not only permit the sale of liquors but that it puts it beyond the powers of a municipality to collectany revenue or license from the sellers. "We guess the Capital is crazy on that point. As we read the decision it is that a state can not prohibit interstate commerce, noth ing being said about the regulation of the sale of the merchandise after it lias reached the stae and become the property of some one of its citizens. The decision is on a par with the late holdings of several of the state courts with refer ence to meat inspection laws. Gray, Harlan and Brewer, in dissenting, made a splendid argument for the moral side of the queseion, but the majority opinion reads to us more like law, the opinion of his honor, the attorney general of Kan- FOB WHICH LET US PEAY. From the Kansas City Gazette. C. Wood Davis, of Sedgwick county, in the Forum, expresses the opinion "that before this decade is half spent, all the products of the farm will be required at good prices, that lands will appreciate greatly in value, and that the American fanner will enter upon an era of pros perity, the unlimited continuance of which is assured by the exhaustion of the arable areas." For all of which let us devoutly pray. THE LARGEST STANDING ARMY. the police force of Bismarck, Dakota.

But it is not observable that the country is suffering any therebj-, Before too many opinions are ventured it might be well to await the full text of the supreme courts decision, touching liquor in original packages. Until that decision comes to hand nothing will be certainly known to the elfect on Kansas.

TKe president's veto bill making ap propriation (200,000) for extension of a public building seems to have opened the eyes of congress to this species of reck less jxtravagance. It will havo the ef fect of calling a halt on that sort of log rolling, electioneering legislation. And the country will say amen! It is believed in St. Louis that Mr. Goujd is aiming to secure control of the Mexican Central railroad, which can be operated profitably in connection with the Texas Pacific system. It is claimed that at the coming annual meeting of tho Mexican Central the disclosure will be made that Mr. Gould has secured the road. Milwaukee's new mayor, Geooge W. Peck, tho humorist, in his first message, urges tho necessity of cleaner streets, recommends various reforms in that de partment of municipal work and ox presses a confident belief that a very groat improvement can be secured. These declarations indicate the humorist's newly acquired title and station have not bhmted his penchant for punning. The prohibition element of the Repub lican party appears just now to be in as uncomfortable a dilemma as were tho re-submission Republicans. The Demo crats might be happy but for tho uncer tainty of tlie situation, that party fearing that something may come out of tho wings. But again, there is tho Alliance j party, and who can tell what it may do.

We are some times the most patriotic when we con sider the condition of citizens of other nations.

If we are ! hibition in the few shite which hvAri.J The following is a statement of the Iowa case, upon which the decision was handed down, and was entitled Leisey vs. Hardin: The property in question consisted of 122 quarter barrels of beer, 171 one-eighth barrels of beer and eleven sealed cases of beer. All of the beer was manufactured by a company at the city of Peoria, 111., and put in kegs and cases, and each of the kegs were sealed. Each bottle of beer was corked and the cork fastened pie of the with a metafic cap, sealed ana covered with tinfoil, and each case was sealed with a metallic seal, and to open the cases the metallic seals had to be broken. The property as above described was ship ped by railway from the city of Peoria to the city of Keokuk, in Iowa, to one John Leisey, a resident of Keokuk, who is an agent of the company of Peoria, and placed in a building owned by a member of the company. It was placed in the building to be sold on account of the company. It was offered for sale in kegs and cases unbroken. This business had been carried on for several years. The agent of the company made the sales to any and all persons who desired to purchase, excepting to minors, and persons in the habit of becoming intox icated. No kegs or cases sold were broken or opened on the premises when sole, but they were removed from the building in the same condition in which they were shipped by the company from the state of Illinois. The evidence showed that the agent for the compairy delivered the beer sold to the purchasers in the city in wagons or otherwise, and that sales were made to any person, above age who paid the money for it. The building in which the beer was sold was fitted up for the purpose of carrying on the business and had been used by the company in that way since the year 18S4. The defendant was" a con stable and the beer in controversy was seized by him by virtue of a search war rant issued by a justice of the peace upon the ground that the beer was kept for sale in violation of the laws of the state. The trial court found as a fact that the beer was kept for sale by the company for the xmrpose of being sold in violation of the laws of Iowa. The supreme court of Iowa held that the prohibitory law of that state con ferred ample authority upon constables to seize beer in original packages, if they were being sold in violation of the pro hibitory law of the state, and that court also held the prohibitory law of Iowa to be constitutional. The Topeka Capital's adverse opinion occupies a column and a half, but it don't reach as far as that of the supreme court, we suspect. The Capital not content with its own opinion, interviews, as usual, Bradford, the ex-state attorney who took snch an interest in saddling Wichita with a po lice commission at a time when the law did not make it mandatory, also of his successor. Kellogg, together with that of Judge Webb, of Chief Jus tice Horton, Judgo Humphrey, General A. B. Campbell, the former state Prohi bition lecturer, D. C. Lockwood and others. Judge Horton declined to ven ture an opinion. Judge Humphrey spys that the decision means that beer, etc.. can be shipped into Kansas and sold in original packages, although the court failed to define an original package. He further suites that after tho importer has sold it that it becomes subject to the laws of the suite. Lockwood says that the decision upsets the prohibitory ,law of the state as far as original packages are concerned, and that intoxicating liquors may be im ported from one state to another and sold in original iackages without violating any law of this state. Bradford says that the opinion does not interfere with the en forcement of tho prohibitory law. Judge Webb says with an "if but after all, practically, that the supreme court has made a decision against all well settled rules of law :is previously declared. General A. B.

The organized military strength of the leading nations of the world is: Russia 780.081, Italy 750,7G5, France 523.533, Germany 489,547, China 300,000, Austria Hungary 284,071.'

Chief Bonner of the New York Fire department and Captain Shaw of the London fire brigade have been collecting theater statistics from all overthe world, which seem to prove that the agitation over the dangers of theaters from fires has not been without good results. They find that in 1889 twenty-eight theaters were burned, of which fifteen were to tally destroyed. The number of deaths was nineteen, and the number of the in jured ninety-one. In 1SS3 twenty-two theaters took fire, with a loss of 125 lives; in 1SS7 seventeen theaters were burned and 228 persons perished; and in 1SSG seventeen theaters were burned, with a loss of 108 lives. The figures show tliat in 18S9, when a greater number of theaters were on fire than in any of the three years under consideration, there was far less loss of life. It is expected by Chiefs Bonner and Shaw that this favorable condition of affairs is not temporary, and tliat the present year wtll make a still better showing, in view of the increasing pre cautions taken against such calamities. They do not believe the occurrence of theater fires will be entirely obviated by any number of precautions and safe guards, but consider it probable that their prompt suppression will be greatly assisted Dy care and watchiuiness. SUNFLOWER SHADOWINGS. CATCHING THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS. TOPEKA ARITHMETIC. The Topeka Capital with solemn delib eration criticizes the Eagle's declaration tliat towns whose names are not spelt with seven or nine letters or some multi- grand divisors of those num bers, never amount to anything, and that paper then cites Topeka, Boston, London, Berlin, and Kansas as brilliant examples to the contrary. We leg pardon, but we are not responsible for the Capital's lack of common school education. To peka and all the towns named come tin der the rule as does Philadelphia and San Francisco, Toronto, Quebec, Cleve land, Toledo, Denver, Dallas, etc. To peka, therefore, still has some show, bnt it would have a better show were its leading daily less thick-headed when it comes to figures, which are so essential to commerce and commercial cities. If the Capital would cut a lot of those one horse lawyers about the state house, who are forever filling its columns with stale opinions on the reach of the prohibition law. and also dismiss its corps of literary tutors and contributors, and distribute some Copies of some common school arithmetic about its editorial and report ers' rooms, the Capital might yet become a factor in the future of a town in whose greatness the whole state is profoundly and directly interested. Senor Ignazio Diaz, a merchant from the City of Mexico, who is in New York on business and pleasure, was in terviewed by a Star reporter, and among other made the following statements that will be read with general interest: "There is a change," he said, "going on in our part of the world, to wliich little or no attention is being paid by foreign nations, and tliat is the opening of great provinces in southern Mexico, and especiallv Yucatan. Corporations, European and American, have obtained huge concessions, and have already be gun to bring settlers over to our borders. The result is that roads, both ordinary and steam, are being rapidly built, and every sign of prosperity is visible. "ucatan,' he continued, "turns out to be a surprise even to us. The general belief that it is a malarial and fever stricken territory is true only in regard to a small portion of the coast. The in terior is high ground, rolling, and often mountainous. Its climate is that of southern California, with the difference that it has a very heavy rainfall. It contains the ruins of many cities, ahead one hundred having been mapped by our authorities, but they do not show the high civilization ascribed to them by so man- enthusiastic explorers. There is, on the contrary, about as much in telligence displayed in their construction as in the curious works of the Alaska Indians." UNITED STATESTREASURY VAULTS. It seems that they are having as hard a time in securing a head for the Uni versity of Missouri as the regents did for the Lawrence University in Kansas. The curators of the University of Mis souri are still trying to secure Congress man W. L. "Wilson, of West Virginia, for the presidency of that institution. The Topeka Capital says that the su preme court decision wipes out not only prohibition but any revenues that might be gained from liigh or low license. The Capital is mad. Such talk is foolish. That decision does not touch tho police power of a municipality. Topeka's city council has the same power to fix an oc cupation tax that it ever had and can, if its council sees proper, compel Major Hudson to pay $100 per month for tho privilege of running his printing office within the city. Topeka can just as surely charge a liquor dealer $1,000 per year for his occupation as it can clnirge a drayman $5, or any other industry any other sum. Yesterday's dispatches from "Washing ton announced that it took Billy Meyers, the "Illinois cyclone" just twenty-four minutes to pulverize Jack Hopper of New York. As a great portion of the people who read newspapers, west of the Mississippi river, never heard of these individuals and as the item was too short to give them any acquaintance with eithersufficient to create an interest it is surmised the press agent at Wash ington, who has been educated this From the Financier. There was a hastily convened meeting of the appropriations committee of the house the 14tii mst. Hie meeting lasted only a few minutes, but in that time it was agreed to report favorably a bill to the house next day appropriating suffi cient money to build new vaults in the treasury building. This hasty action was occasioned by a scare communication from Treasurer Huston. He informed the committee that the treasury vaults were antiquated and subject to the as sault of anv cracksman. He also fur nished some statistics. When he as sumed the treasurerslnp he receipted for $771,000,000 to his predecessor. At the present time 100.000,000 in gold and silver is stored in one vault, and over $100,000,000 in silver in another vault, while in a third vault $250,000,000 in pa per money is stored away. Sometime ago Treasurer Huston caused an experiment to be made. He secured the services of a man to commit ameteur burglary. In 17 seconds the man drilled a hole in the vault containing the $250. 000,000 of paper money and in exactly 10 minutes he had a hole made largo enough to admit his body. This exhibit scared the appropriations committee, and in about five minutes a bill drafted by Huston, making an appropriation for the building of new vaults was approved. No doubt the cracksmen throughout the country, who have been laboring so long and earnestly to penetrate first-class modern safety vaults, will feel infinitely disgusted when they learn what a haul they missed by not tackling the national treasurv. i A CATHOLIC LAYMAN SPEAKS. "A voice from the Roman Catholic Laity. The parochial school question. An open letter to Bishop Keane, rector of the new Catholic university at Washing ton, D.

Yesterday was Bock beer day. In Kan sas Bock beer day is celebrated just a wee bit more than Christmas is in China. The Winfield Courier is courageous. It is fighting "social science." It thinks the -'science" is greatly demoralizing society. It has been so long since Jay Burton has been heard of that people are forgetting whether there are two "r"s in his name or not. Several Kansas statesmen are examining into the original package decision. Two or three examinations completely exhausts a pint package. Some time since the Youth's Companion offered a prize for the beat essay on the American flag, and the prize was won by Willie Long, a Clay Center boy. Jay Gould received a message at Leav enworth contained 10,000 words, but the only place "Leavenworth" occurred in it was in the direction at the head. There are S93 prisoners at the peniten tiary. This institution and the fight against Ingftlls are about the only things that are not growing in Kansas this i spring. The New York Herald is the latest pa per to give its opinion of Ingalls.

There are almost as many boys in Kan sas who have aspirations for literary fame as there are boj-s who have designs of Lyman Humphrey's place when they shall have become old enough. The Atchison Patriot predicts that the time will come when there will be only two morning iiapers in Kansas. This, however, will not be realized as quickly as Bill Higgins' corn prediction was. A N. McLennan, who wants to be con gressman from the Sixth district, has en gaged eight rooms at the hotel in Colby where the convention is to be held, while the other fellows have only one or two, and what's more, they have sliding doors between them. A casket containing diamond", pearls and other precious gems, identified as the gems stolen from Mrs. Johnson on tho train a few days ago, was yesterday found by a farmer beside the Rock Island track near the village of Bala. Tho thief was probably careless. Stanley, it is said, will be made governor general of whatever territory England can gobble up in Central Africa. As Stanley becomes greater and more honored, tho entire absence of any relatives of his in this state impresses the average Kansas mind, more and more. Living in Kansas is cheap, says the Atchison Globe. Take a basket and i knife and go out into the yard and dig dandelions. Put them to boil in a small piece of pork borrowed from a neighbor, and you will have a dinner that costs nothing. Abilene Reflector: The wheat fields of Kansas are rolling carpets of green stretching in soft emerald evenness to the haze-rimmed horizon. Soon the' will turn to amber, then to golden, and will dapple the vellow acres with promises of wealth j and happiness. Kansas will lead the world with her wheat this year. Four year's ago a traveling man's trunk was stolen from the sidewalk in front of the Byram hotel at Atchison and thw own er claimed and received 4200 for the loss, saying it was filled with cigar samples. The trunk was found on a sand liar near the city recently and was found to contain a lot of printed stationery and advertising matter. "The young Kansans are in hot water in the Dakotas," said Judge Foster recently, after visiting those states. "Tom Funlon, jr., and a man named Booth, both of Leavenworth, were appointed clerks of United States courts up there, by Judge i Brewer, a few days after the territories were admitted, and just before he was made associate justice of tho supremo court. Public opinion is adverse to carpet baggers there, and tho new judge of South Dakota refuses to approve Fenlon's bond, aud not a single case has been filed with him, and consequently no feua re ceived .since he was appointed."

It was a bloody fight and the friends of Harper entertain little hope of his recovery. Information from Downs says that the heavy rains of last Thursday Hooded the saw mill on Campbell's creek and over flowed the main channel of the Cotton wood.
