KELLER.

OF Kellar, who appears at the opera house

ing says:
When Eellar has finished his engagement
at the Garland, and the opportunity for see
ing him is past, the people of Topeka will
wake up and discover that they have lost a
chance to see the greatest magician of the
century, one who for two years commanded
the wonder and admiration of three of the
greatest cities in the country. Not only was
Kelar able to entertain the staid
old Quaker city Of Philadel-
phia, for nearly whole
year, but the clearnesS and mystery OF his
speciality became an absorbing topic of con-
Versation in the drawing room, club rooms
and upon the street. Delegations of promi-
nent men nightly became self-appointed in
vestigators of his shrewd tricks, only to be
baffled by his dexterity. 1t should not be
hard to understand that artists of his stand
ing are induced to leave the highly remuner-
ative field which large city offers them, to
come to an uncertain business in small city
snly by guarantee OF an amount that Is
ruinous to the cnterprising manager, when
he is SO indiiferently appreciated as

that the opportunities for seeing attractions
that are worthy the patronage of thinking

SNOW-SHOWING 1T.

The long contemplated snow show at
St. Paul is living, dazzling, hilarious
thing-a roaring draw. The bubble was
punctured Monday evening last, and
lopened out amid the shouds of thou
sands, and all the splendor the capitol
city could produce. People have been
there from all parts of the United States
and British America. The programme
for each day as published in last weeks
FREE Press has been carried out to the
letter and everything moves off serene
ly. The central event of the week thus
far was the arrival oil his majesty Bore
ais, or the Ice King, last Wednesday
evening, who was fittingly received and
enthroned. The st. Paul dailies are il
lustrating the several features and events
profusely, and thousands who cannot
enjoy the pleasure of visiting the palace
can form pretty correct conceptions of
the general appearance therefrom.
Everything possible is being done to
make this, the first ice carnival ever in
augurated i'm the United States an oc-
caslon to be remembered so long as the
participants cling to mortal existence.
1t is too early yet to comment intelli-
gently upon the proprIety or the inn
propriety ofsuch extensive amusements.
OF course there will be fractured limbs,
and long train of disasters of more
or less serious nature. There will, no
h., lu oil -
serious if not fatal illness, but then
these causalities attend man wherever
he be or whatever he does, and should
not condemn the ice palace festivities
entire, for there can be as many argu-
ments brought out showing wherein
they are beneficial. One of the prime
enemies of our physical welfare is lack
of out door exercise, especially in cities
where the major portion of people fol-
low sedentary pursuits. This is particu-
larly true of women, both old and young.
Thousands of ladies' in cities wilt away
like hidden plants from this cause and
no other, when if they would equip
themselves in comfortable apparel and
regularly take skoot on ski, fly
down some declivity on a toboggan, or
devote short time to the good old-time |
coasting, their physical constitutions
would develop to degree which dis
ease could not encroach upon. The |
same is true of men who are daily housed |
up at sedentary work. The variety of
sports connected with the snow show
induce young ladies to endulge in pedes-
trian practice, skating, and 80 forth.
which under ordinary circumstances
would overwhelm them to think of.
There must certainly be a beneficial
amount of physical strength acquired by
this. and may divest many feminine

THE SHERMAN BILL.

The silver coinage bill introduced by
Senator Sherman, is something of a sur
prise to the admirers of that gentle
mans great financial abilities, and the
press criticisms are as varied in tone up
on the feasibility of the proposition as
is Joseph's coat in colors.
The present law regulating silver re-
quires the coinage Of not less than 81
600, 900 nor more than $4,0OO,O00 per
month. The Sherman bill requires the
purchase of not less than 100000 nor
more than 1000, 900 ounces of SILVER bull
lion per month. The standard dollar
contains 4l2l grains of silver, while
there are $50 grains IN an ounce-a diff.
erence or increase of 67a grams to every
dollar. 1t is well known that the pres
eni standard silver dollar does not con-
tain hundred cents worth of metal,
and under the bill Of Senator Sherman
it is proposed to put full value into it.
This measure is certain not to meet the
appreciation of the anti-silverites, and il
is not likely to appease the silver men,
as it is presumed that they prefer leav-
ing tire matter just where il is.
If, when he comes to explain in detail
the exact meaning and effect of his bill
Senator Sherman does not convince the
people of its merits more fully than Car
be cleaned by merely reading it, ther.
is very little upon which he can hast
hopes of success. But with a knowledge
of finances second to no man in Ameri
"a, il would seem that he would be abb,
to show good effects from the passage o
his bill.
At any rate. Mr.. Sherman has attract
ed Il great deal ofattention by his course
and no one wise in his own knowledg,
will presume to censure so eminent
linancier until he has had opportunit.
for Calculating his measure.

SENATOR LOGAN had tilt in the senate
Wednesday, with the enemies of the
Dakota admission bill, and laid down
his logic with his usual force and point
edness. Logan always hits from the
shoulder and sent few telling blows in
to the enemy's midst. He characterizes
the whole scheme as an attempt to keep
Dakota out until sufficient Democratic
territories are ready to come in, that
the Republican majority in Dakota
may be oyer balanced. Mr.. Logan re.
quested his fellow senators to listen to
nothing but the voice of the intelligent
populace now knocking for admission.

LOCKED HORNS.

The President and Senate are at log
gcrheaas on the question of giving his
reasans for removals from Office before
the expiration of their term of office.
The President long since let his ambition
run away with his common sense at least
what he possessed of that comm odity.
Before his election he was loud mouth
ed devotee of civil service law. His let
ter of acceptance was garnished with
eloquent sentences in favor of "civil
service REFORM" assuring the Mug
wumps, that, if elected, there should be
no removals from Office without sufficient
cause of Republican officials during the
term for which they were appointed.
They believed his pied yes, notwithstand-
ing they knew the only national policy
of Mr.. Cleveland's party was to obtain
iree access to the National Treasury and
distribute the spoils to the hungry
Democracy, and they elected him, and
the goal of his ambition was gained. His
inaugural was enclosed in civil service
frame, but Mr.. Cleveland had not the
good sense or foresight to consider the
effect of his assurance to the Mugwumps
would have upon his future, when he
attempted to administer the government
IN accordance with the only policy of his
party, and hence the difficulty of his
position. Before Congress convened
thousands of removals were made and
the only cause the people heard was
that most miserablv fiimsy pretext "cf-
fensire partisanship;" an excuse under the
circumstances quite beneath the dignity
of a green messenger boy in the Demo
cratic Congress. He selected his cabinet
with more reference to the wishes of the
ex-confederates and copperheads than to
the loyal Democracy of the country and
the same is true with regard to the APP
poiutments made to fill the PAGES Of the
men removed. The Douglas or loyal
Democrats standing but little better
show for favors than Republicans. The
Senate who are Il coordinate branch OF
the government. and whose advise and
consent is essential to these appoint
ments claim the right to know whether
the men removed have been treated
fairly or otherwise. They claim their
right to know the cause of their removal
and that where charges were made OF
cause assigned against the official re-
moved, the matter should be fairly IN
vcstiyated and the accused have an OPP.
portunity to vindicate himself before the
public. This very just and perfectly
reasonable demand the President re-
uses, and virtually tells the Senate it il
none of their business. They can have
all papers pertaining TO the appointment
but the cause Of removal is Democratic
secret, confined solely to the breast OF
the autocrat of the Democracy. This
brings the President and Senate into
Squarely antagonistic position. The de-
mand of the Seuate no reasonable fair
minded man can deny, and they Will no,
readily recede from their demand, and
what will be the final outcome in the
matter, no one can now determine. II
will doubtless delay combinations and
many a poor ID or Democrat will have
! To hold down the anxious seat till he ii
weary with hard sitting.
