BELvA LOCKWOOD is woman who
thinks herself as good as, if not trifie
better, than any man. Therefore she
wants and will have if she can get it
every civil right men enjoy. To get
these rights she makes bold dash for
what? For the presidency. well
knowing that she win get only
the votes of a few weak-minded
folks. BeIva is courageous and
consistent. She does not believe that
her rights are full and complete until
she sits at the head of the nation as its
chief executive. Equal rights mean
that or they mean nothing. Hence
the good lady goes for all in sight.
Slow gradations and well-balanced
form have no charms for her. Her
gaze is fixed on the White House. She
wants the best and viii have it or
nothing. In the language of Horticulture
Belva is a daisy. And what is funny
about it all, her tribe is increasing, or

Wa, Il One, Two or Three?

Last Thursday about 1880, the citizens
in the neighborhood of Eleventh and
Commercial were startled by a pistol
shot or shots followed by two or three
blood curdling means, Everybody was
frightened and the stories agree in
many particulars, but in others are
wide apart. Some say only one shot
was fired, some say two Ond some three.
1t seems no blood was split, but those
who were bold enough to look out of
doors saw human forms moving in the
darkness. If it was the work of prac-
tical jokers they should be ferreted out
and receive deserved punishment.

The rumor is not credited at Wash
ington that Sir Charles Upper has
been designated as successor to Minis
ter West. AS Canadian official. and
one, too, that is on record as partial to
the present administration, but chiefly
because he is not regularly in the dip
lomatic service, nor has not undergone
training therein as all English diplo-
mats must, Sir Charles is not regarded
as eligible TO the pest of minister.
What is the matter with Joe Chamber
laing or that other English celebrity

turned-we allude to Mr.. Charles
Mitchell. the friend of John L.

THE Topeka Capital finds much to
complain Of In the action of the leaders
in the national convention of the w.
C. T. T., lately held in New York. 1t
finds that the constitution Of the order
forbids politics, or the siding OF the or
der with political parties 1t charges
that Frances E. Willard, the president,
and others of the leaders. openly
preached and advocated prohibition,
and third partyism in the convention,
while allowing no reference TO either
of the other parties. The Capital then
proceeds to lecture these ladies in its
usual vein for violating their funda-
mental law in favor of a party which
it calls ''a beggarly percentage of the
people The query arises, would the
Capital be so ready with its structures
If the ladies had driven a coaeh-and-
four through their organic law for the
sake of aiding the cause Of Harrison
and protection? Would the Capital
deal out its criticism SO freely, or would
it not pat Miss Willard on the back
and say to her, Ego in, sister, there are
no flies on you"

Minister West Numbered, of course.
That is admitted on all hands. For an
old hand in diplomacy, it is surprising
that he should he SO easily gullfbIe.
But SO it is. Yet, calmly considered,
what is there in this little break OF his
to justify the hullabaloo made over FTP
Happening at any other time than in
the fierce heat Of political campaign,
no notice would be taken of it. 1t is
only six-penny affair that is Rreedily
seized on by the politicians, who have
magnified and distorted it into the
semblance of something fearful and
direful. A threatened English inva-
sion could not produce a greater fer
menr. The political necessities Of each
of the two great parties were equally
urgent, Blaine denounces the letter
as unwarrantable interference in our
affairs, and says West should be
be bounced forthwith, but adds, it
won't be done. the president "dOes not
dare to do it. At the very moment
he was holding forth in this vein,
the president and Secretary Bayard
were sending the minister his walking
papers. They took the same view Of
the letter that Blaine did, and took
prompt action and for what purpose?
to resent grave injury or insult?
No. There is no injury and the
insult was imaginary. But to offset
the cry of paltiality for England and
so gain political point. It is rather
hard on West, who is more sinned
against than SHINING, but there is no
help for it. He fell between the upper
and under mill stones of national poll
tics and must needs become political
grIst. AS victim of political neces-
sitY he deserves and probably win re-
ceive certain share of sympathy and
and perhaps pity,

BEN BUTLER said at Detroit that
while he was proud of his greenback
record, yet greenbackism had accom-
plished its purpose, and had therefore
nothing to do with the case. It would
be refreshing to know when, how and
where it accomplished its purposep''
1t would be news to good many folks
bereabout who still hold to the theories
OF the greenback party, ignorant of
what General Butler seems to know
so much about. Perhaps if the gen.
erai or some one else viii take the
trouble to explain how greenbackism
accomplished its purpose, those people
can be induced to return, as the gen.
erai has done, TO the arms of the old
party.

Tha Yonth Was BashfnI.

Coming downtown on q west-side
car this morning was working girl
who attracted general attention, not
only because she was very pretty, but
because she was exceedingly sleepy.
She had scarcely settled herself COM
fortably by the side of a very young
and modest gentleman before her lus-
trous dark eyes began to close and her
head to droop. The very young gen.
tleman glanced at his pretty neighbor
uneasily, as she gently sank toward
him, each jostle of the car narrowing
the margin between her rounded cheek
and his shrinking shoulder. A sud-
den clang of the bell brought her up-
right with start, and the great eyes
looked with odd wonder at the pas
sengers. who hung above her at the
straps. But even while she looked the
eyes again closed, the head dropped,
and again the youth took on alarm.
He edged warily away and blushed
guilty as he caught the amused eye
of the fellow across the aisle.
Pictures of a young man sneaking
out of the front gate and a girl Slip
ping upstairs with her shoes in her
hand at a. m. formed in the minds of
the passengers as they watched the lit
tie comedy, the interest of which mo-
mentarily increased. A faded bea uty
at the other end looked rs if she had
known how it was herself. The dude
across the aisle seemed to feel as if he
would like to change places with the
unhappy youth who was trying to eS-
cape the dropping head. The latter
evidently feared Ia halt, although he
dreaded to stay. He watched the girl
from the corner of his eye, twisting
himself into deformity to avoid the con-
tact that was inevitable. Finally, with
a little lurch, down came the head and
rested easily on the youths palpita-
ting breast, the girls bosom rising and
falling with a sweet regularity sugges-
tive of innocence and repOse. The
youngster blushed furiOusly, the dude
groaned, the driver nearly ran over a
coal-wagon while glancing backward
at the seductive picture, the conductor
exeitedly registered an extra fare, and
the elderly girl in the corner frightened
the man with the wig next to her by IA
sudden lurch toward his shirt-front 1t
was a moment of suspense, broken at
last by the sudden rounding of q curve,
which woke the sleeper and released
the sufferer from his delicate posi-
ton. The girl looked hastily out OF
the window, made snatch for her
gossamer. and hurriedly signaled the
conductor to stop. She had passed her

THE Sackville West letter is a mir
ror in which can be seen the ticklish
and trembling position in which both
parties find themselves. 1t was a tri-
file, a mere indiscretion, put the re-
publicans, doubtful about their
strength, raised the cry of English in
reference, hoping through an appeal
to prejudice to strengthen themselves.
Ii was trifie, mere mdiscretion, but
the administration, not sure of its
hold on the people, and seeking every
adventurous aid possible, makes sim
liar appeal to race prejudice by bounc-
ing the luckless minister. That is the
dual image revealed by this Pomona
mirror.

THE news comes from Africa once
more that Stanley, with a number of

circumstances seem to indicate the
death of the intrepid explorer.
