BrecLinrtdge speaks of "several wo

E
HERS ARE THE PROOFS.
The people of the United States are in
sympathy with Grover Cleveland's at
tempts to restore good, sweet, amiable
Lilioukalani to her throne. Look at the
results in Ohio.
They appreciate his veto of the Bland
bill, and his cafe of the finances of the
country, incidentally including "Wall
street. They recognize that he has been
doing more for the country than any
president who has preceded htm. Lcok
at the sweeping liapublican majority in
Cincinnati
When he instructed Hoke Smith, and
liOchien to wipe out pensions by the
thousands and shut off a lot of deserv
ing old soldiers ho knew that there
would be a kick at first but lie know
that it would eventually blow over, and
the people would sustain him. And
they did. Look at a gain of 10,000 for
the Republicans in Cleveland, Ohio.
"When Grover Cleveland appointed a
sugar gambler to the Supreme bench
the whole country applauded. It was
just the thing to do, and nobody but
Grover Cleveland could do it so grace
fully. The people appreciated it. Pon
der over the result iu Toledo.
Tne people all over this country with
out regard to sex, position or previous
condition of servitude are clamoring for
the passage of the AYiIson bill. They
must have it. They can hardly wait
for it Just look how they demanded
it at the polls the last two days. Gieat
is Grover.
THE IRRIGATION MOVEMENT.
Active prepaiations are now being
mado for the next National Irrigation
Congress to be held about September IS,
at some point in the west not yet deter
mined on. The last congress, which was
in session an entire week in Los Angeles,
October, 1893, appointed commissioners
in every western stale and ten itory,
whose duty it is to prepare a leport to ba
submitted to the coming congress cover
ing all the features of special interest in
each state and territory of the arid west.
These reports will show the amount of
arid and semi-arid lands; the amount of
land now irrigated, and the acreage be
lieved to be irrigable; the souices of
water supply, developed and possible of
development; the cost of procuring,
storing and delivering water on lands;
state legislation, in foice and needed;
national legislation as to the disposition
of aria lands and government control of
water sources; and such other points as
may suggest themselves to eacli com
missioa as being pertinent to their own
state.
The commission for Kansas is com
posed of J. "W. Giegory, Garden City,
chairman; V. H. Grinstead, Dightou; F.
D. Coburn, Topeka; L. Baldwin, Great
Bend; A. B. Montgomery, Goodland.
The citizens of this state are coidially
invited to correspond with any of these
gentlemen, and give them such infor
mation as they may possess on tho points
to be covered by their reports, as it is
designed to cover every point of inteiest
which can be suggested. Information
covering the work of the national com
mittee can ba obtained from Fred L.
Allen, secretary, Los Angeles, Gil., and
information as to the work in this state
from any of tho commissioners named
above.
WILL FIGHT FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
Tho great body of women opposed to
femalo suffrage cannot bring themselves
to make a fight against that which they
dread, no more than they would take a
hand in political life. Upon the other
hand the women who are itching for
public life delight iu nothing so much as
notoriety. Tho home, its duties, the de
mauds of children and the future wel
fare of the race count as nothing com
pared to the pleasure they gain in parad
ing before the eyes of the world. It Is
tho felicity of existence to screech of their
serfdom and slavery and elixir of life to
pose on a rostrum or curb-stone, before
which all other joys aie childish and un
worthy of consideration.
But an organization has been effected
by women witli headquarters in Boston
for tho purpose of appealing to the
women of America to stand by woman
kind and for all her piivileges and ad
vantageous consideration as against the
effort to make her responsihlo for ma
terial and political matters for which
nature never intended her. The women
composing this organization do
not propose to take tho
stump, they wouId not. They
are in a sincere but modern ay mak
ing their appeal through tho peu. One
of their circulars or papers lies before
us. TI107 not only appeal for the home
and its tanctity but quote a number of
eminent writers and jurists who have
written and spoken upon tho various
phases of women cud the ballot. They
declare that notwithstanding all that
has been urged to tho contrary that
female suffrage in "Wyoming is a failure
in so far as women, h;r rights and ele
vation are concerned. But for ranting
and inconsiderate women, who projected
their ideas and demands, tho cataslro
plfe of the French revolution and the
blood of tho commune would have been
impossible. Ono lady warns congress
against a wild enthusiasm vvhich
threatens so much injury to humanity
and that might destroy the noble estate
of womauhood. The implication of in
feriority so loudly cried by the advo
cates of political responsibility for wo
men is absurd and has been evolved
from tho brain of the abnormal of both
sexes. It is all a flabby sentiment void
of soundness or truth.
A VERY BIG STATE AFTilR ALL.
The supplemental census bulletin
cives the total of all the crops, live stock
and nil tho real and personal property
valuations of all the states, in aggrega
tions. The true and not the assessed
values are given. Kansas is worth,
total, all told, 51,799,343,501, leading
thirty-four of the states and territories.
In actual wealth Kansas leads all the
southern states exceptinc: Texas and
Missouri Kansas had 1GG.617 farms in
cultivation in 1SS9.
Constructively speaking, the vox
populi has taken Grover Cleveland by
the nape of the neck and wiped the
bosom of the land with him.
It i3 a wonder it hasn't occurred to
some Kansan to legislate against cases
Irkethe Pollard one, by enacting a pro-
1 liibitonr law arraiast closed carriages.
THEY DONT ENOW WHAT AILS THKBT
"Wall street clamored for the veto on
the seigniorage bill and got it. It was
followed by a decline in values and a
decrease in the volume of commercial
transactions, and a decrease in loans of
the New York banks of about $2,000,000
last week. It looks as though the
financiers are at sea and don't really
know what is best for them. Certain it
is that every move that Cleveland makes
only piles on more agony. Common
sense ought to teach the few people on
the eastern edge of North America that
what this country needs is legislation
broad enough to lake in all portions of
it, and that by dictating and demanding
legislation tbat favors New York but
blast all other portions, they are injur
ing themselves. They cannot prosper
while there is a terrible depression all
over the balance of this country. "While
the life blood of the arteries is being
sapped the great heart will have but
weak action. New York will go on
having her own way until she commits
financial suicide unles3 something hap
pens to beat a little sense into her
bosses.
THE IMPRISONMENT OF McM ASTERS
Nothing in the history of Oklahoma,
up to date, will cause as much comment
among the Oklahoma people as the arrest
of editor JfcMasteis, and his sentence to
imprisonment which occurred in Okla
homa City. Monday.
Theiearetwo leasons for this. The
first and primary reason is the question
of judicial stricture on matter pub
lished by newspapers. The Oklahoma
City Times-Journal published an article,
1 cluting that it bad attempted to secure
a report of the grand jury, and was at
the last moment thwarted by the judge
who secr.ited the report, and intimated
that the judge had taken the action in
favor of friends. Tho proprietors were
at once held up for contempt. "When
the trial came up ihe pioprietors refused
to divulgo the name of tho author of tho
article when McMaster's himself acknowl
eged it and was fined $500 and sentenced
to six months in jail.
No man is known better in Oklahoma
than MoMasters. He is the embodiment
of mental intensity, and his enemies
arc all bitter to the core and his friends
warm to him thiough fire aud flame.
His intellectual vigor has always given
him a high place in public esteem.
But to be truthful, it must be said that
McMubters too often sacrifices discretion
in order to bo out spoken, and throws
diplomacy to tho winds to defy all who
differ with him, in the most cutting
terms.
"When he acknowledged to the judge
that lie had written the article, he did it
to defy him. Tho judge at once took
him at his word, and applied the most
vigoious penalty.
It is to be feared that the judge has
acted unwisely in this matter. He has
been too severe. Since the opening of
the territory there haB been much tot
teuness in Oklahoma. The newspapers
of Oklahoma have ferreted out case
after case and exposed them. They
have saved the teiritory thousands of
dollars, and have rid it of more than one
scoundrel. They aie naturally jealous
of tho good name of tho territory. Con
sequently they are constantly on the
lookout for attempts to thiow them off
the track, and inclined to criticize
quickly and sharply.
They do not merit the harsh treatment
of the Oklahoma City judge. If otier
judges had been so quick to recent a
crivicism as this ono there would nut ue
an editor out of jail in Oklahoma today.
They all ha":o worked for tho good of
the teiritory. If the judge who sen
tenced McMasters will take the pains to
imagine what Oklahoma would be today
if she had not hod her newspapers, ho
will acknowledge this.
Grover Cleveland. PreMent of the United bta:es

Dear Mr. Cleveland:
"When can you join us? "Wo are
tramping as we voted. "With us your
friends and voters you will not have any

Owing (o the wretched condition of

It's the same old cry that is being heard

A ItrUtUic oatnc
Sir Thomas Robinson, a wealthy
Englishman oi the last century, was a
tall, uncouth man, and his appearance
was rendered still more striking-by his
hunting dress, which consisted of a
tighs green jacket, bnckskin breeches
and a iur cap. He once set off in his
hunting suit to pay a visit to his sister
in Paris, and he arrived at the house
while there was a largo company at
dinner. The servant announced "Mon
sieur Bobinson," and in walked this re
markable figure, to the amazement of
the guests. One of them, a French
abbe, lifted his fork three time to his
mouth and each tlxao laid.it down with
out tasting the food, Unable at last
to restrain his curiosity he burst out
eagerly: "Excuse me, monsieur, are
you the famous Robinson Crusoe, so
remarkable in history?"

Orators.
Some amusing examples of uninten
tional transpositions are given in a recently-published
collection of "Bulls
and Blunders." Slips of the kind
usually result from nervousness rather
than from ignorance, but it is a ques
tion which was responsible in the caso
of tho pompous colored preacher who
told his flock that it was "easier for a
camel to go through the knee of an
idol than for a rich man to enter
Heaven."
Not so in the case of the courtly and
cultivated Georgo William Curtis, who,
it is said, was so overcome with 6tage
fright when he commenced his first
lecture that instead of the refereuco
to tho bottomless pit which he intend
ed to make, he astonished his hearers
by beginning tremulously:
"Ladies and gentlomen, the pittom
less bott !"
The crowning specimen of ludicrous
helplessness in the face of elusive
syllables Is that of the unfortunate
speaker who, at a pathetic point of his
address, when his hero was about to
undergo a heartrending parting from
homo and friends, uttered, in his most
melting voice:
"Biddy, diddy "
lie stopped confused; flushed, 6et
his mouth and tried again, with a
difficult resumption of the interrupted
pathos:
"Diddy. biddy"
Something was wrong still. He grew
scarlet, perspired, and gasped forth a
third attempt, not more intelligible.
His bearers could none of them inter
pret it. It might be High German, or
it might be a Mother Goose refrain:
"Diddy, hiddy, biddy dool"
Tho situation was desperate; but the
persistent orator rallied, paused until
he had fully recovered his self-control,
and trying once more, with slow utter
ance and distinct enunciation, con-
' quered at length the simple phrase
which had overthrown him. He said:
"Did he bid adieu?"

Old
lady's Story et Bater Bd la
Waahlag-toa'a Arauu
In Dr. Mines' volume of reminis
cences, "A Tour Around New York,"
the author devotes paragraph to the
attractions of Battery park, and adds
pleasing littlo story ot a time before
his own:
I remember dear old lady who
loved to talk about this park and tell
of the poople she had met here and the
scenes she had witnessed; and of these
one man and one morning's adventure
stood out most prominently.
A little thing in whito, her nurse
had brought her to tho park to wit
ness a civic ceremony, and the crowd
prevented her from obtaining a good
view of tho pageant.
As, with a child's impatience, she
tried to press through the throng, a
tall and handsome eldeVly gentleman,
clad in a suit of black velvet and with
a dress sword at his side, stooped
down to her, inquired pleasantly
about her trouble, and then lifted her
upon his shoulder and held her there
until the procession had passed.
Delighted with what she saw, the
child thought little about the gentle
man who had brushed away her
trouble, but thanked him when he
released her with a kiss and set her
down upon the ground. As he moved
away, tho nurse, in an awestruck voice,
asked tho child if she knew whose
arms had held her, and then told her
that it was President Washington.
Tho littlo eyes watched him out of
sight, and never forgot his stately ap
pearance. I think dear old Mrs. Atterbnry waa
prouder of having been the heroine of
this incident than of all the social
honors that afterward fell to her lot.
OLD AGE A LAW OF NATURE,
Caro Should B Takca to Coaatrve tbe
Vital l'owers j Temperate Ltviap;.
In orderly coincidence with the close
of this late year's existence, a statistical
report of centenarians who have lived
in or died with it has just been pub
lished in the pages of a contemporary.
It includes, altogether, thirty-threa
persons, the eldest, a woman, being
aged 116. What is unusual, the num
ber of males is in excess of that of fe
males. Unfortunately, the report offers
us no information as to the habits or
other personal characteristics of these
old people. It is trus that we are not
without information and that of a sci
entific and accurate kind, derived from
other sources, and this is of consider
able interest. In a study of the life
history of the aged nothing strikes one
more forcibly than the fact that life, in
it's latest period, presents itself very
much as a state in which the vital
functions enfeebled, indeed, though
not always greatly so or even
in an irksome degree continue
im. active exercise under normal
conditions. It is, in fact, the close
and crown of a state of existence
conducted throughout in regularity
and moderation. Appetite, as a rule,
has been good and has been indulged
within reasonable limits. There seems
to be little to choose between temper
ance and total abstinence in the matter
of alcohol, though excess bnt rarely
wins the reward of longevity. If, fa
any direction, it is allowable for com
petitors in the race of life to dkpenc
with self-control, it would appear that
they may to a great extent use this
liberty with respect to phyiicai aad

mental exertion. Nature nas made
large allowances for the inevitable ne
cessity of labor, and has even prac
tically, in some cases, sanctioned an
overstrain of energy, provided that duo
caro be taken to conserve the vital
powers by temperance ia other things.
The life thus orderly lived usually ends
as orderly, faculties, comfort and even
enjoyment continuing till, as if grown,
weary, it accepts a timely and ftaal
repose in the sleep of apras. Laacefc
THE FLYING FISH.
Eeiee TatarMtlat Facta Ceeeermtof; TMsf
Carloaa Greater.
A very common error made km,
natural histories where this fish !,
mentioned is that it does not fly. "Its'
supposed flight is nothing more tha a
prolonged leap; It cannot deviate frotB
a straight 'line, and cannot rise a
second time without entering the
water." This, briefly, is the sort of,
thing one meeta with in textbook
where reference is made to this fish.
The simplest way of dealing with it
is the professor's method of aafwerln
the query of tho French academy
whether their definition of a crab waa
correct. Tho story b so well kaowx
that it does not need repetition. As
the result of personal observatioa ex
tending over a good many years, 1
assert that the exocctu does fly.
I hare often seen, says a writer la
Chambers' Magazine, a flying fish rlac
two hundred yards off, describe
semi-circle, and, meeting the ship,
rise twenty feet in tho air perpendicu
larly, at the same time darting off at
right angles to Its previous course.
Then, after another long flight, whea
just about to enter the water, the gap
ing jaws of a dolphin emerging from the
sea gave it pauso aad it rose again, re
turning almost directly upon Its former
course. This procedure U so coauaos
that it is a marvel It is not more wide
ly known.
A flying fish of mature else cam f 7 a
thousand yards. It does not flap It
fins as a bird, but they vibrate, like
the wings of an Insect, with a distinct
hum. Tbe only thing which termi
nates its flight involuntarily is tbe dry
ing of its fin membrane and their aaa
sequent stiffening.
BEAUTY IN AGE.
