Chicago News-. In getting revenge on
"VViUarn Allen White is Senator Piatt
trying to live up to Mr. White's de
scription of him?
Detroit Free Ptcfs: Kansas was Sev
eral decades ahead of Lord Rosebery
in discovering the organize-a-new-party
cure lor all political complaints.
Perhaps Senator Hanna haa not en
tirely given up the idea of running for
president in 1904. He appears to be set
ting a trap to catch the labor vote.
There haa been a long hard struggle
against the return of the boom, but
Indications point strongly to another
visit next year in spite of all efforts
to keep it off.
After journeying all over the world
for the purpose of preparing himself for
a place on the foreign relations com
mittee. Senator Beveridge was over
looked in the makeup:
Secretary Gage asked the president for
the head of Appraiser Wakeman and got
it. Hereafter, perhaps, revenue officers
will think twice before "'sassing" the
head of the treasury department. i
Potatoes are being Imported from
Kurc.pe in large quantities but the fact
doesn"t tend to lower the price to the
consumer owing to the tariff of 25 cents
a bushel which is collected.
Grand Rapids Herald: Senator Piatt
is threatening a libel suit for a maga
zine article concerning him written by
William Allen White. The article must
have been too nearly true to be pleas
ing. The Russians probably have heard ot
Mr. J. J. Frey's projected railroad
through Alaska. They are talking of
building a bridge acrrws Bering Strait.
They may regret sometime that they
sold the country so cheap.
A bill to grant the elective franchise
to women is to be introduced into the
Ohio legislature during its coming ses
sion. It will be backed by a monster
petition, to which over fifty thousand
signatures have already been appended.
Many of the signers are men. Mayor
Johnson of Cleveland favors the move
ment. "
The attorneys of Admiral Sampson
have submitted to Secretary Long an
elaborate brief Intended to show that
Sampson was in command and Schley
was not. at the Santiago battle, but it
will not alter the conviction 6f Dewey
and about 75.000,000 other people tiiat
Schley commanded the fleet and won
the fight and is entitled to the credit
and the prize money.
There seems to be a fair chance for
fighting in both ends of South America
at the same time. While Argentina and
Chile are squaring off at each other in
the south, Colombia and Venezuela are
constantly becoming more belligerent in
their attitude toward each other. What
appears to be needed in a "doctrine" that
will preserve the peace among our
southern neighbors as well as the one
which protects them from European
aggression.
St. Louis appears to have become rec
onciled to the existence of the Chicago
drainage canal. The Star says: . .
"Friends of a deep waterway between
Chicago and New Orleans, via a ship
canal, St. Louis and the Mississippi
river, are getting a move on them, and
it is probable the matter will be pre
sented to congress between this and
January 23. Sooner or later the water
way will be an accomplished fact, and
the sooner the channel is opened the
better it will be for St. Louis."
To Senator Hanna has been ascribed
by many the credit for a large share of
the prosperity prevailing throughout the
country. He now appears in a new role.
At the recent conference of representa
tives of labor and capital he said: 'lf
by resigning my seat in the United
States senate I could bring to fruition
the plans that we are now fostering to
make strikes, lockouts and great labor
disputes impossible. I would gladly do
so." The attainment of the senator's
desires as herein expressed would go
far toward matting permanent the pros
perity which he haa helped to bring
about.
MB. LELAND OF TOPEKA.
Cyrus Leland, deposed pension agent,
by the grace of President Roosevelt,
and the insistence of Senator Burton,
has announced his intention of remain
ing In Topeka and making the capital
city his future residence. He purchased
a home here some months ago.
This determination will be welcome
news'to the citizens of Topeka, regard
less of politics.
The shrewd, kindly face and pleasing
personality of Cyrus Leland has become
a familiarity that would- Indeed " be
missed with his passing-from Kansas
avenue and Copeland county.
. Doniphan county has long ir-een the
home of this politician whose ambition
has reached near to the. top rounds of
the" ladder many times and again perch
ed on the JoWer-rungs. His Interests are
there; his house, his store, farm, field
and orchard. But the little town of
Troy haa grownismaller. its streets nar
rower and Its scope for political gossip
ensmalled since Mr. Leland .drifted out
of its beaten paths a half score- of years
ago Life would be dull indeed without
a dozen "short grass"- statesmen gath
ered around nightly to plot and counter
plot like master- hands-at chess. Nor
would the state house crowd be easy of
access. Governors' could not be nomi
nated in daily pastime, congressmen
selected, nor United States attorney
generals provided. After guiding the
destinies of the Jayhawker ship of state
for years, life would be tame indeed
back beside the counter, weighing out
a pound of butter or measuring off a
yard of calico, by the light of a tallow
dip.
No, Mr. Leland will not go back to
Troy. The darts of his enemies have
pierced his armor deeply but not a sign
of defeat nor a display of weakness has
been shown. His "day in court" will
come again. In the meantime Topeka
welcomes Mr. Leland and his excellent
family as a portion of its inheritance.
St. Paul Globe: Poor old John Swin
ton, dead at 70, once a force in the na
tion, long since forgotten: warm of
sympathy, brilliant of intellect and
forcible in expression; deeply impressed
with the wrongs of labor, he threw him
self, his mind, energies and money into
the conflict; established "John Swln
ton's Paper" to denounce the wrongs
and demand the rights of labor; sunk
his last dollar in it, and went back into
the ranks of brain workers, embittered
with the experience, a common one, that
comes to him who espouses a cause that
receives but does not give; that is re
sponsive with lips and lungs, but nerve
! of pocket.
AN EXTRA SESSION.
Sairey Gamp enjoyed a monopoly of
the knowledge of the existence of her
dear friend Mrs. Harris; so F. Dumont
Smith alone seems to be aware of the
demand for an extra session of the leg
islature to pass bis pet measure, tha
new tax bill.
Extraordinary sessions, even when
accompanied by popular uprisings, are
not unmixed evils. Neither politicians
nor statesmen seem to be using their
railroad passes to eome to Topeka to
demand that the legislature be called
together forthwith. Indeed Governor
Stanley is quoted as saying that only
one person has broached the subject to
him. It is not clear whether Senator.
Smith is that one.
When Kansas some years ago most
wisely provided for biennial gatherings
of the law makers it could not ; abso
lutely prohibit a session following on
the heels of the regular meeting only a
twelfth month behind. The chances had
to be taken on these special sessions. As
a rule the commonwealth can get on
without them.
The state has lived for forty years
without the new tax law and it may be
able to exist with its present bank ac
count, for a. few years longer until the
new machinery for assessments is put
in working order. Should the legisla
ture come together for the single pur
pose of passing Mr. Smith's bill, the
state would be in more or less legisla
tive suspense and uncertainty; tiere
would be really no telling what double
purposes were on the earth, under the
earth, or over the earth to be attempted
in the way of new laws on every con
ceivable subject.
It is not even certain that a special
session would pass the iron clad tax
bill: for with all the wisdom of the com
mission backed by its industry and
energy there are rumors that the meas
ure lacks perfection. It Is said that it
savors of the Spanish inquisition. It is
also suggested that the placing of the
assessments 'in the hands of one mr.n,
a county assessor elected for four years,
is open to objection; that this official
would be an easy mark for the corpor
ations who are accused of low assess
ments and ways that are dark under
the present law.
AH things considered, there is no
danger of an extra session.
Governor Stanley will not call it. He
has his ear sufficiently close to the
ground to hear,, should such there be,
any ominous rumblings demanding any
such proclamation on his part.
No opportunity will be giver, the
Atchison Globe to say: "The Topeka
boardinghouse keepers have demanded,
and secured, an annual session of the
legislature for three years, although the
law convenes it only every odd year."
WASHINGTON UNDEMOCRATIC.
According to the statement of State
Treasurer Grimes, Washington official
life is not so democratic as one would
expect to find in the capital of a popu
lar government where the poorest boy
in the land might rise to the highest
office in the land.
Mr. Grimes says a United States sena
tor does not dare to introduce his pri
vate secretary to his brother senators,
no matter how bright and well-educated
the private secretary may be. The
fact that he is a clerk places him be
neath the members of that supposedly
august body. In many cases a senator's
private secretary is no doubt his wisest
and most valued adviser, but Washing
ton caste places him beneath even the
most wild and woolly senator in the
capital.
These things have come to the obser
vation of Mr. Grimes since his friend.
Senator Burton, offered him a place as
his private secretary. Such a condition
seems contrary to the American Idea
as it is understood in Kansas. The idea
that a man cannot be introduced to
another, either socially or officially, if
the man of lower rank is the intellectual
equal of the other, does not set well
with the average Kansan. Such a con
dition savors too much of titled aristo
cracy to suit the western idea.
In defense of the custom it is urged
that a senator could not deal with an
other's private secretary but would
want to deal directly with the other
senator himself. If a senator is talking
with his private secretary and another
senator approaches, the private secre
tary must immediately withdraw. It
is urged that th two might want to
talk in private and the presence of a
third party of lower rank might hinder
a free discussion, but thi3 sort of an ar
gument will hardly go down with Kan
sas people.
. It is to be expected that rank would
enter more or less into the social life
of the national capital, where represen
tatives of aristocratic monarchies wield
more or less influence, but it hardly
seems necessary that rank and caste
should cut much figure in the business
affairs of the nation.
BURTONS' VICTORY,
The political event of the week has
been the defeat of Cyrus Leland for re
appointment to the pension agency.
In the naming of Metcalf, President
Roosevelt has surprised even those who
have been made most ready for aston
ishment by his former surprises. This
is the first victory of the senator over
the president, and is the only satisfying
triumph in the way of place emoluments
which Senator Burton has yet scored.
Burton haa won, too, in the face' of
strong odds, using, however, not the
most creditable weapons. The conquest
is but another illustration of Ingalls
famous remark that the purification of
politics is an iridescent dream. The
sweetest fluid which is now washed
against Mr. Burton's palate, quaffed
double-distilled from a full cup, is re
venge, although it may yet leave a bad
taste in his mouth, as it has in the
mouths of some of his friends who mere
ly sipped the beverage.
McKinley had promised Leland at
that quiet little talk on the White House
lawn. He had recorded this in a letter
to Secretary Hitchcock. Roosevelt had
declared his intentions of following Mc
Kinley's wishes where the latter were
undisputed. Burton had recognized
these conditions, and had apparently de
termined to abide by them, asking only
that Leland'a name be withheld until he
could score a commission.
Metcalf should not forget that ha
owes his appointment quite as much
to Leland's political courtesy to Burton
as to the latter's recommendation.
Now comes the ' Tracy turn-down.
Then arrives the Foley fiasco. This was
wormwood, because Foley had been ap
pointed, but yet Burton could not give
him the actual key, to the office. Rage
and bitterness followed because Burton
owed Foley, politically and- financially.
"Has a great United States senator no
power nor influence? A congressman
can name a postmaster, but a senator
from Kansas has not that authority."
Thus11 he mused. "Ah! but there is mine
arch enemy. Leland still without his ac
tual commission. Let me think, and
let the national committeeman help me
think. Ah! ha!!" A colonel of the brave
Twentieth Kansas is selected. Burton
owes him nothing; he can cancel no
debt with this appointment, but he will
let the debts go and intoxicate himself
for one night on revenge. No charges
can be brought against Metcalf, and
the president's admiration for the Twen
tieth Kansas soldiery will make Burton
invincible; sho.v his senatorial power
do he but steel himself and make the
end justify the means.
He braced himself; he closed his eyes.
Low was behind him, but he turned not
his head nor lifted a lid. He was as
deaf to him as to the old soldiers. He
could see nothing except Dear Revenge,
which an angry blind man can clearly
witness when it is within his grasp. He
got it. Is he happy?
HE WON HIS PLACE.
"For collector of customs, Patrick K.
Garrett, Paso Del Norte, Texas," was
the way the nomination by President
Roosevelt was sent to the senate. "Pat"
Garrett, the man who killed "Billy the
Kid," Is the way he is spoken of in the
country where his name has been a ter
ror to outlaws for years New Mexico.
Pat Garrett is a character. He bears
the same relation to the territory of
New Mexico and its advancement from
the wild and woolly state to its civilized
condition and Its claim upon statehood
that immortal Samuel Houston bore to
Texas in her strenuous times. It was
Garrett and his unflinching courage
that drove the first wedge that opened
the way for the peaceful and safe set
tlement of New Mexico. The wedge
was a bullet. The bullet that laid low
the youngest and most bloodthirsty
outlaw of history, the man who killed
for fun.
"Billy the Kid" was 21 years old when
he was killed. He had killed 21 men,
one for each year of his life. As the
natives of the territory say "he would
have been a bad man if he had lived."
He started his career when he was 16
years old. He was one of those non
descripts that come under the list of
human beings because of the absence
of horns or claws. His ancestry was
conglomerate. A short time before the
"Kid" ended his career he was sen
tenced by a judge of the New Mexico
court to "hang by the neck until you
are dead, dead, dead." That was noth
ing to such a monstrosity as he. "You
can go to , , , was the com
ment of the outlaw to the judge and on
the way to the jail he killed his escort
of two sheriffs and resumed his bloody
career without losing the thread of the
record he was weaving.
Then It was that "Pat" Garrett -ran
for sheriff. His platform was the prom
ise that he would kill "Billy the Kid."
He was elected. The outlaw knew why.
It meant that when the sheriff and the
desperado met it was one life or the
other. Either the sheriff would ruinii
the promise of his platfora or the ban
dit would cut another notch in the butt
of his revolver. It was because the
"Kid" would meet his "La Tosca" that
tie lost his life, for. bandit that he was,
he was led to his fate because he had a
sweetheart. Garrett was in the house
after dark where he knew that the out
law would come to meet his senorita.
The bandit entered with a butcher knife
in one hand and a revolver in the other,
suspiciously on the alert and ready to
kill. "Who's here?" he asked and fell
with a bullet through his head. Gar
rett's aim was true. If one bullet did
not immediately do the work it might
have been a' life for a life. "Billy the
Kid" never cut the twenty-second notch
in the butt of his revolver.
That is why President Roosevelt ap
pointed Patrick F. Garrett to the posi
tion of collector of customs. Garrett
had a duty to perform. He had to
"carry a message to Garcia." He asked
no question. He made no call for ,
troops. He delivered the body of the
outlaw to the authorities.. New Mexico
was reclaimed.
Before the appointment of Garrett
was announced those who were fighting
him charged him with being a gambler.
The charges were made by Washington
politicians. It seemed somewhat queer
for there are so many "deals in Wash
ington that are not political." The pres
ident Is said to have questioned Gar
rett as to the charge and he replied:
"Yes, Mr. President, I am a gambler
In the sense that I know the difference
between a straight and a flush, and
there is not a man In that section of
the country who has energy enough to
keep flies off In fly season who does not
know that much, at least."
Gambler or not, "Pat" Garrett must
have well deserved the reward he re
ceived. He will be instructed to collect
the customs at Paso Del Norte and he
will collect them, every cent. That's
Garrett's way of carrying out instructions.
BOOK SOTES.
A book that will be appreciated by
people with high musical sensibilities is
"King Midas," by Upton Sinclair.- Both
the hero and the heroine are possessed
of musical souls, and in this they find
their affinity. The story is of a young
girl whose 'rich aunt haa educated her
in Germany. Upon the completion of
her musical education she is brought
home and her ever-mercenary aunt en
deavors to marry her to a multimillion
aire, but while the rich man is willing
and the girl yields to an engagement
after a severe mental struggle, she
breaks it before the wedding. A crip
pled violinist who is wealthy but she
does not know t Is thrown in her way,
and while she cannot bear his appear
ance at first, she eventually falls in
love with him. The end of it all is sud
denly tragic in the extreme. There are
some strong descriptive passages in the
book, but one cannot help feeling that
the story in general might have been
improved had it been edited with a vig
orous use of the blue pencil. Neverthe
less the author shows promise of rare
ability along certain lines. The proposal
scene shows the detail with which the
author brings out his Ideas, and while
it will doubtless appear to border on
the sublime to some, to others It will
seem to have overstepped the boundary
and arrived in the vicinity of the ridicu
lous :
" 'Helen,' he said, 'I call you to a life
that forgets all else but love. Precious
girl, my soul cries out to me that I have
a right to you, and that you were made
tnat I might kneel before you. .
And oh, dear heart, if only you could
tell me that you might love me, that
years of waiting might win you, it
would be such happiness as I have
never dared to dream. Tell me, Helen,
tell me if it be true!"
"And the girl lifted her face to him
and he saw that all her soul had leaped
into her eyes. Her bosom heaved, and
she flung back her head and stretched
wide her arms, and cried aloud. Oh,
David, I do love you.
"He clasped her in his arms and
pressed her upon his bosom in an
ecstasy of joy, and kissed the lips that
had spoken the wonderful words. 'Tell
me,' he exclaimed, 'you will, be mine?
And she answered, 'Yours!' "
Doubtless those who have had experi
enee along the line of proposal-making
could easily testify that this is the sort
of proposal they meant to have made,
but it is doubtful if there were ever
very many such actually made. The
testimony of those who have been
through the experience indicates that
about the time the maker of the pro
posal gets ready to begin he forgets
his lines and begins to stammer.
The book is published by Funk &
Wagnalls, of New York, and is illus
trated by C. M. Relyea.
A new text-book on elementary zo
Ology by Prof. Vernon L. Kellogg, of
Leland Stanford, Jr., university, has just
been issued from the press of Henry
Holt & Co., New York. Prof. Kellogg
was formerly a Kansas bov, and after
graduating from the state university in
1889 was assistant professor of ento
mology in that institution until called
to Stanford university. He is the au
thor of several recent texts on biological
science which are widely used.
'The College Student and His Prob
lems" is the title of a volume by James
H. Canfield. LL. D.. librarian of Colum
bia university, which will be published
by the Macmillan company. Dr. Can-
field s long experience witn educational
matters as secretary and as president of
the National Lducatlonal association,
as professor of history In the University
of Kansas, chancellor of the University
of Nebraska, president of the Ohio
state university, and librarian of Co
lumbia university, have given him a
wider acquaintance with the actual life
and needs of college students than has
perhaps fallen to the lot of any other
American. His book is short, admirably
written, and full ot sound, wise and
pithy advice on all pertinent topics of
colleee lire, rrom tne cnoice or tne coi
lege itself and the kinds of work and
plav and social intercourse to De pur
sued there to the ehcice of a career at
its end. No young man can read it
without receiving help and inspiration
and without profound gratitude for such
ivise and frank counsel.
In a purely Imaginary country Marguer
ite Brvant has cast her latest story
"The Princess Cynthia." The characters
are the people who constitute and are the
court or iving uonstantine anu ius Bisier,
"The-Princess Cynthia."
The storv is of the love of Sir Palmedes.
the oldest survivor of one of the noblest
families of the realm. By an arrangement
of her father. Princess Cynthia is the
promised wife or Count Henry, tne crown
prince of a neighboring realm. The ar
rangement was made while the princess
was very young, but she grew up, ac
cepting the life outlined for her. She
was, however, not by nature submissive,
but was. on the contrary, the leading
spirit in ail tne arrairs at court, no one
oaring to attempt rot tnwaiL uer miguresi
wish.
A number of years previous to the time
of the opening of the story Lord Dallas
Arrancourt, the confidential advisor of the
king, had been executed unjustly, as tne
populace believed at the time. Sir Pal
medes. with a. vouneer brother, were the
only descendants of the family. King
Constantine. feeling that reparation was
due the family of Arrancourt. revived
the position of equerry and appointed Sir
Palmedes. His brother was given a high
position in the army.
From the time Sir Palmedes accidental
ly met Princess Cynthia he conceived a
strong and lasting love for her.
The book is well written and the story
of how Sir Palmedes loved, lost and was
loved in return, but only when it was too
late, is fascinating to an intense degree.
The story is particularly bright and
pleasing for the reason that it is beauti
fully and smoothly told in a brilliant style
of language. The illustrations are by Geo.
R Havelka. The book is from the press
of the Funk & Wagnalls company. New
York.
The author of "Helen's Babies." "Worst
Bov in Town." etc.. has produced another
delightful story for the young entitled
"Some Boys' Doings." The story Intro
duces us to a pioneer settlement in the
far west. The boys . are a happy, easy
going set, not very unlike those In the
east The account of their escapades and
harmletM fun-making is very suggestive
of "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry
Finn." Whoever has read any of John
