YES, IT'S DIFFERENT.

| Our esteemed contemporary at the
mouth Of the Kaw, the Kansas City
Gazette, stirs up the EAGLE in half
column touching our opinion of the
bastard metropolitan police law. The
Gazette says that it is a Republican
meausre. We deny There is nothing
Republican in it. 1t smells of the spirit
of the car of all the Russias and has a
touch of his Punishment by administra-
tive process. 1t was hatched outside of
the Republican party by men who are
controlled by prejudices rather than by
fixed principles. John Martin and his
counselors have appointed the commits
sioners in every instance in response to
and at the behest of men who not only
hate the Republican party but who have
prayed and voted for its defeat. For a
town full Of tOughs and buns, of
whisky. drunkenness and harlots where
the mayor and local authorities find
themselves powerless to enforce the law,
like Kansas City, Kansas, for instance,
there might be some call for such rule,
yet we cannot see how q commission
could be more effective than the officers
chosen by the people most directly con-
cerned. Under that law a city may be
Overwhelmingly Republican and over
whelmingly for the enforcement of the
prohibition law, yet one-third of the COM
mission must be Of the Democratic, the
anti-prohibition party. Unler that law
the court house of Republican Sedgwick
is half full Of Democratic officials, while
upon the other hand with our Republi-
can-Prohibition mayor and the absence
of outside interference in our local pol
tics we would lay out every Democrat
who dared show his head, unless he be-
came a good, sound Republican first.
We understand something of the malign
influences of Missouri atmosphere upon
the average Republican but it astonishes
us that SO sanguine and headed a one
as George Martin should so retrograde
from merely living in sight of it.

PLANNING FOR PLEASURE.
AtchisOn Champion.

Atchison Champion
If half the time were given planning
for Observation-Disclosures wholesome,
sensible pleasure-that is occupied IN
looking ahead at work and worry, we
should be great deal happier and we
think, much better off. The habit and
knack Of making pleasant times, instead
of waiting for them TO happen, is a mat
ter not sufficiently studied in our homes.
Unexpected delights are no more truly
God-sends than those that we earn by
providing for them-though they often
seem so from the sweet surprises they
bring, and from the natural satisfaction
we all feel in extras" whether from
heaven or earth.
The home-time Of the year is upon US.
The atar-fires are lighted: the evening
lamps glow at the center of the family
circle; and the long winter evenings
bring their old opportunities for intel
lectual and social life 1t is not worth
while for the me-makers and their as
sistants of all degrees to plan little to
make seasons of indoor life as varied and
attractive as possible.
The wise parents will of course make
as generous provision as they can, In
the way of books and games, and fasci-
mating amusements and employments
for their children. II you don't want
the boys in mischief and the girls in
idleness, you must furnish them with
innocent and normal activities. The
heaithful little boy that will stay con
tentedly and quietly in the house,
WHIP only his last years toys,
books that are either too old, or too
young. or too stupid to interest him, and
parents whose first and last command Is
that he shall keep still, and bother no
body, is either an angel or a simpleton-
probable the latter. \ little wise provi-
slou will secure some useful fancy wor 4
for girls: new magazine for every
month: books from the public library; .
box OF paints or draughting implements.
a foot lathe and set of tools. miniature
printing press, for the boys-s0metning
new and interesting for each, according
70 their tastes and inclinauOns.
There are many lesser things. also. that
go TO make up happy home life for
children. and - for their elders. There
are numerous social games and Fastlmes
inexpensive and instructive that might be
procured 10 all III the entertainment OF
the children at home. And II this mat
ter has been overlooked until now the
present Is a gooI tInle 10 make amends:
This is the week-the holiday week

WHITE HOUSE Of INNES & ROSS,
WATER SCARCE AT THE CAPITOL.

One very warm day last summer. says
the New York Suns Washington special,
some rural tourists from Kansas found
their way to the capitol building. and
the fact of their presence becoming
known to Preston B. Plamb, the senator
from EmpOria, they were soon gazing at
the picture of Pocahontas and the bronze
doors and stairways under the escort of
a capitol guard Becoming weary and
athirst, the pilgrims from the Prohibi-
ton state We're astonished to learn that
nowhere in the great marble building
was there any point at which strangers
could refresh themselves with cup of
cold and harmless water. They were
told that money would purchase it at
the restaurant, where stronger drink was
sometimes kept, and that the able sena-
tors, or such of them as use the beyer-
age. were supplied with it in the lObbies
and committee rooms from silver plated
pitchers, but as for the uninitiated public,
they were expected to 90 dry. The
Kansas travellers told these things to Mr..
Plumb, and while they sat in the gal
lerv and listened to his eloquenCe, he
graphically and forcibly depicted the
lax state of public morals that would
allow visitors to the capitol to go with
out water His peroration was not espe-
cially eloquent, but was greatly to the
point, and took the shape of a resolution
providing for the placing Of drinking
fountains III the capitol buildings. The APP
preparation was passed in both houses
and signed by President Cleveland, and
workmen are now engaged in cutting
four big holes in the solid walls Of the
house and senate wings. In these holes
Will be placed water coils, which viii be
kept packed with ice and from which
spring water will hereafter flow cold and
free for all who seek it. The Prohibi-
tionists will no doubt earnestly endorse
Senator Plumb for reelection, and
thirsty public will reward him with its
gratitude-Kansas City Times.
