Mr.. Adams last day arrived. This
odious judiciary law had been passed
three weeks before, bat, owing TO the de-

stroke Of 10, were startled by an eppara-
ton. IL was the bodily pre-.

between these two gentlemen, which has
been recently reported for us by Mr..

The sickening revelations of sacrificed

runs of the burned st. Johns home in
Brooklyn. not only add another to the
pathetic pages of human story, but they
give mourntul emphasis 10 the tact that
efforts at philanthropy, however we'll
intended, may be rendered worse than
unavaling by the failure to exercises due
practical foresight and judgment. The
constant recurrence of calamitous and
fatal fires at this season OF the year Illus
trates also the necessity for the most
careful precautions. especially when as
in the instance before us. 81 large

New York Tribune: Not single IL

defend the practical Acknowledgement of
Zoo. 900 voters at the south. 1t there
were nothing else to mark the hostility
of these persons to Republican princI-
pies this alone Is enough that they have
deliberately enabled party to elect a
president by multiplying the constitution
and DISTINGUISHING large part of those
whom the fifteenth amendment extends
the suffrage. This was not done in
ignorance. To these men the fact was
perfectly well known that in 1876 and
earlier several southern states had been
captured by systematic assassination and
armed revolution. That the usurpation
was crowned with complete success II
every southern state in the election of
1880, and that the supporters of Gov.
Cleveland had no hope of electing him
except by the electoral vote of the solid
south thus obtained. With full knowl-
edge of this the independents set them
selves to work to reward the party OF
assassination and 10 crown dlsfranch-
isement with victory. If they suppose
that the thing will be forgotten by true
Republicans they are greatly mistaken.

dining car took ire and was burned up,

their night clothes. The proprietor sue

The interior decorations of the theater

who has been here for the past two
weeks looking after the affairs of that
company, is authority for the statement
that he has unearthed some very SEN
sational frauds perpetrated on that COM

the frauds involve a number of promi-

city and county officials, that these peo-

TREATIES IN THE SENATE.

When our fathers, in framing the con-
stitution, vested in the senate the power
Of treaty confirmation and the provIs-
ion was made that all matters pertain
ing TO treaties should be discussed in
SECRET session, they would have listened
with Open-eyed incredulous woAder hal
the statement been heard that in a hun
dred years treaty negotiated between
our own ana another country would be
scattered broadcast over the land BY a
great newspaper to every city and ham,
let days prior to its presentation TO the
senate. Times have changed. Insti-
buttons have changed. Past tTadI-
traditional Obseryances in government
as we'll as elsewhere, are fast changing
also to make necessary adj ustments.
The old idea of diplomacy was that
agreements between nations or rather
courts and ministers gave scope simply
tor q game of deception, an Intriguing
struggle for advantages that could best
be gained by the concealment Of real
purposes and interests. From this ira
dItIon arose the senatorial custom. Now
a treaty is simply business agreement
between two nations, involving ordina
rily commercial interests, and having In
inseif the features CO commercial trans
action. Such are the Spanish and the
Nicaraguan treaties now before the SEN
ate. In country like ours
where there is absolute free
In the expression of opinion
aud popular interest in all that pertains
to the details OF government, the farce
of the senate discussing in secret session
that which is already fully known and
being earnestly considered through
every avenue of popular discussion
seems hardly worth the longer keeping
up.
The proposition therefore recently
made in the senate for the
abrogation of this rule appeals
to the common senss of the American
people There may be emergencies in

RANsAs AT NEW ORLEANS.

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Star has been viewing the Kansas ex-
hlbIt at New Orleans. He gives an in
tel esting description of the Kansas ex-
hibil' which, he declares, ls far above
the average, but not SO tar as Kansas Is
above the average of states. The Star
adds:
The Kansas legislature did not take 8
sufficiently broad view OF this great en-
terprise when 1t made the paltry appro-
priAtIon OF 81, 600 for display.
The fact is that there il time yet tor
Kansas TO redeem hefself in this matter.
She gave q good account of herself at
the Centennial eight years ago, and her
efforts at that time have borne rich har-
vest The legislature will meet IN afeW
DAYS, and an appropriation of GOO or
Sl5, 600 should be made At once tor an
additional display. The Exposition will
not be in complete running order before
January Is. The great crowds will not
he there until February, March and
April. There lie plenty of time for Kan
sas to spread herself if the legislature
will furnish the money needed.
The Kansas exhibit at the Centennial
was probably the most effective AdVer-
tisement that Kansas has ever had, and
the influence was felt in marvellous de-
gree in the stream of immigration that
was attracted to the state. The re-
sources of Kansas are such, and
its agricultural prosperity has been
so great in The pact few years
that with proper appropriation and or
ganization the exhibit at New Orleans
might have far tcIipsed even that al the
Centennial.
Mr.. Bacon and his assistants have
done effective work, and undoubtedly
the best possible with the psltry means
at their command, but the showing for
Kansas will not be what it ought to be
in comparison with other western states
who realize the importance of this meth
cd Of attracting immigration to their
borders. All the western states and ter.
ritories, and especially Nebraska, Iowa,
Dakota, Colorado and Minnesota have
made extraordinary efforts to produce
an impression upon the psople
who will go to the New Or
the world. Dakota appropriated
| $50. 600 for this purpose. Nebraska $780,.
600, Minnesota SAC. 900. AS is suggested
there is still time if the legislature acts
promptly, for Kansas, though not dong
all that might have been done, to make
important additioust) her display and
make it in some degree commensurate
with her large resources.
