EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Mr.. THOMPSON, the author O.
"Major Jones Courtship," died on the
cath instant.
THE republicans of Dallas have had
a meeting and endorsed a municipal
ticket.
WHAT has become of the North
Pole, Col Duncan, if you are correct
in your last lamentation
THE only sign we discover Of the
latter day is the number of false pro-
phets that abound.-B. ID. make a
note.
Coz. BLANToN DUNCAN dished up
in the Sundays Express his usual as
sortment of disasters. The truth is,
COL D. is very green, or lmaglnes our
community is.
Col. BLANToN DUNCAN slipped up
last year in his prophesy about a famine
and if the Lord is willing he will
slip up again this year.
THE Mississippi over1ows every
year-some seasons it is worse than
others; but this ever-reCurring misfor-
tune is made the text for Col. Blanton
Duncan's last chapter on human mis-
cry.
THE Western Texan is the name of
a very neat weekly published at juno
ton City, Kendall county, by Mr.. J. F.
Lewis. Mr. L., in his salutatory, says
he chooses to be a democrat, as a
choice between evils, but he occupies
a very broad and liberal platform-as
a frontier organ should.
THE saloon keepers up in Indiana
are in the field as an organized clan,
agitating the sublime cause of rum.
They recognize the platform of the
democratic party as having an appro-
pirate open place for their plank and
are holding meetings to repair it &C
cordingly, and pledging themselves to
its support. Barks seems willing But
as there are thousands of democrats in
the state who are more in earnest on
prohibition than on political issues, the
obnoxious element will be likely to DO
damaging work in the outcome of that
party. Thus the saloon proprietors,
with the old animus of the slave driver,
are apt, in Indiana, to precipitate its
large and respectable fraternity fdrunk-
ards and bibDerS of refined and necta-
rlne poisons, upon involuntary manu-
mission. Let us hope so.
THE Gar sent a congratulatory
telegram to William of Germany. on
the 22nd, the anniversary of the birth
day of the latter, expressing the hope
that his life, SO necessary to the peace
of Europe and the maintainence of
friendly relations between Germany
and Russia, might be long preserved"
After all, the diplomatic Joke is not
far behind the journalistic in point.
or piquancy. In the evening a State
dinner was given in honor of the an
niversary, to which the German En-
bassy and all the German notabilities
were invited. So that when a jest is
going about royalty is not much be-
hind brainy people in its practical de-
livery either. Some how the prandial
event was not honored by the presence
or the speech Of Skobolef. Probably
1t would have spoiled it as a diplomatic
pleasantly.

college in 1921, at the age of IA years
and four years after graduated witt
high honOrs. He studied law in HI:
fathers office for a time, but upon HI:
alma mater offering him a professor
ship of modern languages, he accepted
it and at once proceeded to Europe to
qualify himself for his new duties. He
returned in 1920 and entered upon the
duties of his new office, and SIX years
later, 1885, he published his first poem,
"Outre Mer.' In the same year he was
appointed to the chair of modern
languages and literature at the Har-
ward university. He then made an
other trip to Europe and made him.
self familiar with European literature,
especially that OF the Danes and
northern nations, and his works have
since shown the fullness of his knowl-
edge in that direction. On his return
to America he published those beluti-
full works which have made his name a
household word amongst the English
speaking race at the following dates:
"Hyperion," prose romance, and
The Voices of the Night,' 1889;
Ballads, and Other Poems," 1871;
Poems on Slavery, 1912; The

revisited Europe, and was honored by
the Oxford university { England) with |
the honorary diploma of ID. c. l..
doctor of Civil Laws).
Mr.. Longfellow is very popular
among our people, and in England he
is regarded as a national poet His
Evangeline and Hiawatha are Justly

are perfect in idea and expression.

character of appealing to the heart
md reason and from this cause alone
he poetry of Longfellow will hold
nigh and permanent place in literature.
His latest elaborate work is Poems of
Places, consisting of sereis of octave
containg the choice poetry of
Ill lands and languages of Europe and
Asia. Mr.. Longfellow, as a contribu-
or to our magazines, received extra
ordinary prices for his poems, being
)ald on some occasions by the Allan

Progress of Ell ectric lighting
Indoors.

Ia an article on this subject in the
London Daily Neaos of April 9Th, ap.
ropos to the Electrical Exhibition,
that journal says: There are, there
fore, two questions to solve besid es
the production OF lamp, viz, the
proper distribution of electricity
throughout town and its economy
relative to gas" and then continues:
"Mr. Edison is far and away in ad-
vance of all rivals in the solution of
these problems. His exhibition is
the Wonder OF the show, and his rep
resentatiVe is certainly the prince of
all shoWmen. There is but one Edison
and Johnson in his prophet. One
feels after an hour with Mr.. johnson
that there is nothing lett to be done,
that ones gas shares must be sold at
once, that there is only one system,
and that is Edison's and that every
question has been solved. He takes
you to the lower regions, and shows
how three steam engines are con-
nected with the electric works, so that
the failure of one or even two engines
does not put out the lights; how
twelve dynamo machines produce
electricity in such q way that the
sudden stoppage of even four of them
does not peroeptibly affect the bril-
lispcy OF the lighE;how two thick con-
ductors distribute the electricity
throughout the whole building, so that
lamps can be put IN and out without
affecting each other or Wosting any
energy. He shows how the electric
pressure can be regulated 90 that the
lamps can be raised and lowered at
will In fact, he shows in every es-
sentlal retpeot how electricity can do
what gas can do. He then takes you
to the concert room, where 200 lamps
illuminate very large area, and
where they can be put in and cut
without difficulty or trouble. You
are than led to the entertainment
court, where art aids the electrician,
and where you are admitted into the
secret OF every detail; and after a
visit to suite OF rooms belonging to
the Domestic Lighting Company ele-
gsntly furnished by different firms,
and to the bazaar under them, Won
feel that domestic illumination by
is an accomplished fact:
and when you ask for some shares in
the Edison Lighting Conpany YOU
are told that the necessary millions
we're subscribed in one afternoon. and
that the shares cannot be had for love
Or money. Nothing can be more
complete than the Edison SYSTEM"

cluded in March of last year that,
as the search Tor Jesse was getting

accordingly returned 10 Kansas

"The most important feature OF the
