KANSAS DEMOCRACY.

The democracy of Kansas is prick
ing up its ears. The memory of the
victory of two years ago, and the
thought that possibly like thing
might happen again has had the effect
TO get out quite state convention at
Topeka yesterday. Blair, Fenlon, Car
roll, Harris, Norton, Click and Park
held as earnest and solemn consulta-
tions in the chief executives office as
if they had been born to the thing in
regular and legitimate way. No
doubt our dispatches this morning
will be full of high-sounding demo-
cratic platitudes until it comes to the
tariff question when they will weaken
or fizzle down to the Ben Butler
point. Tilden may or may not be en-
dorsed, but that the convention was
solid for the old and almost encoffincd
mummy there is no room for question.
We suppose further that Click will
head the delegation to Chicago, fol-
lowed by perhaps Fenlon and Perry,
and maybe A. Smith Deveney, or
heaven only knows who.

THE SANTA FE's NEW BUILDING.

The Santa Fc railroad company have
just completed one of the finest siruc-
lures at Topeka to be found in the
west. A year has been taken 10 build
in and it is most thorough and per-
inanent job of work. The building is
being taken possession of this week.
The following description from the
Kansas City Times of Monday will
give very good idea of this the most
attractive building yet erected in the
capital city:
The Santa Fe railroad company COM
menced moving this morning into its
new general Office building, very
handsome structure just completed
and situated opposite the state capt.
tOl, at the corner of Jackson and
Ninth streets. 1t occupies a plat of
ground 150x225 feet in size. The site
was selected with view to its free
dom from dust and dangers Of fire.
1t is strikingly attractive four story
and basement structure, 6SX180 large,
and occupies the center of the ground
on which it is located, so that around
all sides room enough has been left for
nice lawn and plenty of shade trees.
The numerous offices commenced
moving into their new quarters this
morning. In the basement is to be
found the company stationer, occupy
ing three rooms; the post office, the
printing apparatus, the store room for
mathematical instruments, the blue
print rooms, janitor's room, time
chart room, store room for auditor
and claim agent, and the boiler room.
On each floor of the building is sys-
TEN of fire proof safes and water plugs,
with hoe attached, and besides the
handsome staircases that lead from
one TO the other, there are also two
automatic elevators.
THE FIRST FLOOR.
On the first floor is the treasury,
which occupies the east side of the
main hall, and is fitted up in bank

the quarters of the claim agent, super

par;ment.
The general manager, assistant gen.

solicitor, assistant solicitor, general
traffic manager, general freight agent,

The third story is occupied by the
land commissioner, the general passen-
ger and ticket agent and the car re-
cordcr.
On the foarth and last floor the gen
eral auditor, the superintendent of tel
egraph and telephone and the engineer
have their quarters there.
THE BUILDING IN GENERAL.
The building has been constructed
with general view to durability.

ton and light. In these qualities it is
perfection. While there is no ginger
bread ornamcntation about it, yet the
finish is handsome and attractive. 1t
is made as nearly fire proof as posi-
bic. AS is the case with this company
there is no attempt or effort made at
display or osten!ation. The building

would be creditable to any city i'll the

1t is reported that Don Cameron
will knock at the door of the national
convention for admission on proxy.
The Philadelphia Times thinks that he
will be admitted, but maintains that
it is aquestion for the convention
itself TO decide. There was probably
never national convention in which
proxy members were not admitted.
In 1860 Horace Greeley got into the
Chicago convention in that way. But
if one man is admitted others will
have to be, and the question will
hardly be decided without a view to
this fact.

Prince Bismarck's irritability is
greatly aggravated whenever he goes
into the Rcichstag and hears a Jewish
deputy speaking. lie detests the
Jews, and he was the author of the
wrctched Jew-baiting which disgraced
Prussia year or two ago. AT the
last session of the Reichstag, the Jews
spoke for three days. Bambcrber,
Hirsch, Sonneman and Lowe spoke
against time, the Chancellor wishing
them in Halifax the whole time. The
fact is, the best speakers in the Ger
man Parliament are Jews.

ideas of life are dress and gadding.
One can sec them any day-womcn

version OF the maternal instinct that
