What May be Had In Venice.


Tho days, it is true, are passed when ma
jolica plate or reliquary of old Venetian glass
could be bought for 200 or 300 francs. When
such plates do turn up now they fetch hun
dreds of pounds and as for old Venetian
glass, it has literally disappeared. Yet the
shops numerous as they are contrive TO
make II tnir show. The Italian loves color
and instinctively understands its harmonies
A poor display of worthless things is
tastefully and attractively arranged. The
latest craze is for rich brocades small pieces
of which, quite useless for any purpose
except to make a banner SCREEN sometimes
sell for several English pounds. These things
are very effective in the decoration of the
shops, as are also imitation majolica and
forged hronzes, to say nothing of tho mock
jewelry Of the last century, much of which
now comes into the market and attracts the
ordinary tourist. These articles help TO keen
tho curiosity shops open; but the finer
works that still remain in tho country
are seldom seen among thom, eX-
cGpt perhaps with few large deal

CLICKS

The latest racket OF Click is scheme TO
work up a popular demonstration or de-
mand for an extra session OF the Legislature
this winter, TO be called by him TO further
regulate railroads and for the purpose OF re-
submitting the prohibition amendment.
His ducks ale trying 10 have it appear that
the present railroad law is u failure, and
that the last Legislature further failed OF
their duty in not re-submitting the prohibi-
tion question.
Now, probably the most plant tool OF rail-
roads that ever filled the chief executives
chair of Kansas, is this same George w.
Click. We know Of some document in this
direction III lac wants them. As TO the pro.
hibition question, he nor his crowd would
have the law repealed for the world. But
for the agitation of that question he knows
well enough that he would yet be eurryiDg
his bulls and stopping his hogs on Shannon
Hill.
Clicks idea OF converting the Legislature
is simply TO make what capital he could out
of such mistakes as that body would be liza
BILE to make, and What capital he could out
of the failure OF that body TO enact into
laws Il lot OF wild theories TO be by him
recommended and which, if embodied in
laws, would work only harm.

THEY SMELL SOMETHING.

The problem that is just now causing the
average Kansas Democrat to scratch his
thick pate in bewildering kind Of daze,
is the one proposing to obliterate all party
lines. The break in the Republican ranks
last fall landed few dozen OF that party's
insignificant members in Office, including
Click and his appointees, and the little
taste Of power thus secured has developed
an abnormal lunacy in the majority OF the
litter. That class of grunters who have
sat around on curbstsnes bewailing the
shortcomings Of Republicans, and exhort-
ing the old copper-lined timers TO stand by
the "Democratic party" until the moss on
their bowed backs has grown to reach their
heels, now suddenly Lift their heads, wipe
their noses with their coat sleeve and sniff
as IL they smelt something. That some
thing is an Office. What the office may be
Is immaterial. For even a chance they will
not hesitate moment TO go back on their
preaching and growing OF n life time. On
~ 10 get the Offices, Click will turn TO hug
ging Negros, John Martin to preaching
prohibition and so on down through the
whole pack ad iibitum and on forever. They
entertain but one idea, al that idea like
"the limb that struck the whole family"
seems TO have struck the whole Democratic
party OF Kansas, and that is the disorgan-
izing Of the Republican party. The whole
rsft, from Click down, now talk OF nom
partisanship. John Martin says he will
run rs a non-partisan; Judge Harris says
he viii run as bipartisan Click says
next year he will run as a non-partisan, and
no the tune runs up and down their expec-
tant ranks.
That this dodge will tool any Republican
In Kansas We don't believe. The whole
scheme is but by-play, their entire cry
but 10 mislcad. Once in Office, once with
the entire county and State machinery in
their grip and the Democratic party would
draw in its arms, like the sea monster known
as the deyitish, squeezing and sucking the
life out of all within its unrelenting hold.

ANON.PARTISAN BOURBON FOR JUDGE.

The Democratic organ Of the Arkansas
Valley, the Bacon. seems to be yearning
for a non-partisan candidate for the judge
ship, and has found in Amos Harris the
ideal Bourbon non-partisan. The Beacon is
nothing if not Bourbon. II it supports
Harris, it is because Harris is Bourbon.
Speaking of this ideal non-partisan in its
issue of June %, 1850, the Beacon used the
following language:
"Ie is an ancient Democrat. A contem.
porary OF Thomas jefferson, he helped lay
the solid foundations of the party. Andrew
Jackson sucked the pure milk of democracy
from the breast Of Judge Harris. He is the
father of the Democratic party in Iowa and
Kansas, and TO him more than to any other
person Is the party indebted for its influ-
ence in those States. For forty years he
has been the 'wheel.horse of the party, in
the harness all the time, and so conspicu.

the LESS SAID TINE BETTER.

The Wellington Democrat, in an attempt
to show that the Democratic party is pro-
gressive and sound on the prohibition ques.
ton, cites the doings of some of the Dem
ocratic judges, appointed Of Click, in Kan
sas. When he reaches the judge OF the
Eighteenth Judicial District lie writes ::
"Judge Amos Harris, life long Democrat,
and candidate for judge in the Eighteenth
Judicial District, is the most successful
finer who ever sat on the bench in Wichita.
Think OF this, dear friends, when you are
so loud in your assertions that the Demo-
cratic party opposes the prohibitory law"
Now, the less said about the fines imposed
by Judge Harris the better, so far as the
enforcement Of the prohibitory law is con-
cerned. That law is very explicit as to
what n judge shall do in cases Of convic-
ton, and no Republican judge has lodged
its provisions where a conviction was had,
but Judge Harris has.
