A /" PAPER Huut.O

A favorite amusement with the young
Washington bloods who have more leis-
ure and money on their hands than
occupation is the "paper hunt" A
wild young officer connected with the
Russian legation, who rides black horse
that is strange compound of pluck,
ugliness and chain lightning swiftness,
rides the country around, and the young
men of some of the local families have
also been mounted and sent out in the
country to follow his example. The
Russian has formed this lot into sport.

ment, as they al hail him delightedly as
their chief. There being no foxes to
hunt in that part of the country, they
have what is called paper hunt to take
its place. The young Russian is the fox.
lie dsshes ahead, leaving the trail by his
occasionally dropping pieces of bright
colored paper. The sport is to follow
him absolutely wherever he goes. This
young Russian daredevil bolts down the
steepest inclines, takes in high fences,
jumps almost impossible bits of broken
ground, and thus far in his mad career
has pounded his company nearly to
death, besides weakening the arms and
ribs of some of the ambitious youths
who, because the sport is fashionable,
have attempted to follow him.

VACCINATION is becoming general in
China One of the most serious objec-
tions to it yet remaining is curious.
Chinese mammas are unwilling to allow
the arms of their daughters to be
scratched with the lancet, because, un-
less Chinese girl has few marks on
her face giving evidence that she has
passed through smallpox, she is consid.
cred as lacking one of the chief sualifcs-
tions of manageable maiden. The
vaccination scsr is still hardly deemed a
sufficient promise of future immunity
from the disease by the Benedicts of the
Flowery Land.

KANSAS INTERESTS.
IAtchison Champion, -. !

The Lesvenworth TINES says that an
effort is being made by parties to cause the
removal of the United States Signal Station
from Leavenworth TO Kansas City. The
TINES very truly says there ia no sensible
reason for such a change. because the gen.
eral public is more interested in the reports
from Kansas than in reports from Mis-
souri,, and if the Office is removed to Kansas
City there will then be but one station in
Kansas, which ia in the extreme southwest,
and does not iairly represent the meteoro-
logical conditions of the State
An effort is slso being made TO have the
postal cars Of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
fe road run from Kansas City instead Of
Atchison. There is no sensible reason for
this change. 1t is the whim of some mail
superintendent, pulled up with official i'm
portance.
If both or either Of these efforts succeed,
we shall begin to inquire whether Kansss
is represented at Washington. Kansas
weather reports should 60 from a Kansas,
not a Missouri town; and Kansas mails over
q Kansas road should continue to be sent
from q Kansas, not from Missouri town.
Kansas Senators and Representatives ought
70 know what Kansas wants and how kar.
eas interests are affected in all such mat.
tiers. They ought to have an absolute right
to control all such affairs. Ii any mail
superintendent asserts thatt the transmission
OF Kansas mails will be facilitated by run

In an article headed Kansas Interests"
which we copy elsewhere this morning, the
Atchison Champion makes use Of some very
strong and plain language in regard TO the
proposition TO transfer certain interests of
this State TO Kansas City. The matters re.
ferred to deserye the prompt and earnest
attention of our delegation at Washington.
We think, as the Champion says, that they
csn prevent the proposed charges if they
make the proper effort, and we have not
doubt that, since their attention hss been
called TO the case, they WI! Use their in
faence successfully.
The attempt TO take tie postal cars OF
The Santa Fe road 20 Kansas City. instead
Of Atchison, is but another item in ggsn-
tic scheme of robbery, by which millions 0:
dollars worth of property, paid Tor by
Kansas money, for the development Of
Kansas Interests, has been dI erted to the
benefi: of a Missouri town, and We submit.
that the work has gone far enough.
The attempt 10 move the signal station
from Leaven~orth 10 Kansas City, is made
simply TO crafty the whim Of some agent,
or inspector, who wants TO DO something
merely 10 show the world that he can DO it.
There is nothing in the signal station that
can benefit the town it il taken TO, or iujure
the one it is taken from, but, 20 we have
pointed out in a former article. such q
change is likely to work injury TO the State
because the only station in Kansas will
then be at Dodge City,in the extreme sou h
west, and the public viii iIdge the entire
State by the observations made at that
point, where there Is sometimes no rainfall
for nearly a year at 2 time; and it
will tend 10 impair the general
efficiency Of the service by locating the Of
fee at a point where the topography Of the
country will render accurate observations
the Kansas City hills cannot accu a:ely
take or measure the wind-and this is one
of its most important duties-one upon
which some of the most important calCula-
tions of the service depend.
At inland stations, where no shipping is
to be accommodated, the only point to be
considered in locating a station Is TO obtain
observations with the greatest deg ee OF
accuracy, and anybody vino knows
anything about the matter knows that
Leavenworth, situated upon sn open plain,
with no obstruc;io1s for miles in any dIrtc
tion, furnishes much better facilities for
accurate observations than Kansas City,
which is located in the midst Of the most
broken and hilly portion of the Missouri
Valley.
There are many important reasons why
the station should be left where it is, and
not one why it should he removed, hence ii
our representatives at Washington will give
the matter their attention, they will have
no difficulty in preventing The proposed re

WELL. DONE.

We are grateful to the Atchison Champion
for its vigorous protest against The removal
Of certain Kansas interests to Missouri, but
we can't help calling the Ctampi0q's atten
ton TO the fact that It would have been
vastly better for all Of US if it had taken
this course several years sgo, when Kansas
City was robbiDg Leavenworlh OF millions
of property that had been paid for by our
sas towns-includiug Atchisoa and the
Ciampion-were aiding and abetting the
robbery By continually fighting Leaven-
that time would have done more good thsn
volumes now.
