Ten years ago used to drop in occasion

square, popular with journalists and art
lists. The chief frequenter of this place
was a burly Swiss, who made a trade of
setting up billiard tables. He spent most

glass, china and coal, for any one who
would provide him with the necessary
liquid to wash these indigestible things

from injuring him, improved his digestion.

swallow it. The thickest china came just

5lessington, who had been informed by
her Partisan correspondent of the miracu-

her before she could have become &C
quainted with any of the persons present,
or even ascertain their names. Three men
were successfully brought to her. To the

left his side. But the same night, before
leaving, she implored Lady Blessington to

From the CarIb Word "Amerlo.v

Jules Marcode French geographer and

several ridges of that name, which Column

Pierce and the Algebraio Problem.

Ex-President Franklin Pierce once
taught in Oxford county. A problem in
algebra was brought to Mr.. Pierce by
scholar, with the request that he give aid
in solving it. He took the problem and
worked on it a long time, and, being UNI
able to solve it, gave the scholar a lecture
on perseverance and advised him to work
it out himself. That night the young
schoolmaster worked at his room until a
very late hour on the problem, but with
out success. Finally in sort of mental
abstraction he got up and commenced
pacing the room. While so doing he no
ticed small closet near the side of a
chimney opening this and exploring its
interior he found torn and wrinkled
piece of paper with figures on it. Taking
1t out he found that the figures on that
piece of paper were the solution of the
very problem which had perplexed him so

THE PAYNE INVESTIGATION.

After much delay, the committee on
Privileges and elections has voted
against ordering an investigation as
to the manner in which Henry B.
Payne of Ohio secured his seat in
the e. S. Senate. This is indeed an
outrage, and a gross insult to the
people Of Ohio. Coal oil still pre-
dominates. 1t has been the almost
universal opinion Of the press Of both
parties in Ohio that Payne's seat
was secured by the corrupt use of
money, and notwithstanding this
fact, majority of the committee are
opposed to an investigation.
Whether the charges are true or not,
the investigation should have been
ordered and the cloud of disgrace re-
moved from Ohio's fair name. Ger
tainly if there is no foundation for
the charges, there would be no harm
in the investigation. 1t was, of
course expected that the Democrats
composing the committe would have
voted against an investigation, but
when such strong Republicans as
Logan, Teller and Evarts, also vote
against an investigation it is dis
gushing and an outrageous shame.
However this will be remembered ;
and when, in 1888, Logan and Evarts
come up smiling as Presidential pos
sibilities, they will be given the con.
temptuous censure which they nice
ly deserve. OF Teller it is safe to
say that as he has no Presidential
aspirations, and is not above the
level of the mediocre, any way in
ability he will be allowed to rest in
peace. To the honor of Senators
Hoar and Frye, it can be said that
they voted right, and the wisdom
OF all honest men endorses them. 1t
is to be hoped that the Senate may
adopt the minority report Of Sena-
tors Frye and Hoar, and that the
investigation may 60 on. Money is
gaining too decided a hold in Amer
lean politics, and it is time that it
should be shaken loose 1t Nay be
that Senator Payne can prove that
he secured his seat honorably and
fairly, but there IS an abundance of
proof to show that he did not.
There is most assuredly something

CITY OF THE FIRST-CLASS.

For nearly two years past Wichita, under
the laws of the state, was entitled to become a
city of tie first-class. The only reason that
the proper steps were not taken last spring
ayear to have her Incorporated as such was
the conviction or knowledge that city of
the first class, while more expensive, and
that the laws were more complicated. But
that was not all Under the laws govern
ing cities of the tirst-class in Kansas, the
officers are more strictly hedged abou: and
are denied many discretionary powers per
tanning to the offices of cities of the second
class. A city of the the first -class can only
levy, not to exceed specified or limited
sums for stipulated purposes, such as water
supply, for hydrants, etc. The councils
legislative perogatives are curtailed also.
In short. as Governor Martin has issued his
proclamation declaring Wichita a city OF
the first-class we would suggest to our
mayor. city council and other officers that
they will tud some very interesting reading
in the state statute enacted for the govern
ment of themselves and the people
