The false and delusiye saying has been
assailed many times, but never in a
more forcible and pointed manner than
in the following scrap taken from the
editorial columns of the Prairie Farmer,
Orange Judd's excellent journal;
Many are fond of saying ''the world
owes me living" There is more sound
than sense in the expression. The world
or society can only owe US for what we
have done for it or contributed to it. If
anyone still insists that, somehow, iiv-
ing is due for him, he may as well under
stand that with this debtor he has got to
use force to secure payment; and you had
better be about it. young man, standing
there with your hands in your pockets, or
you'll get left. Micawber found it so.
Your supposed debtor is not in partner
ship with Mr.. Luck So, instead of wait
ing for something turn up, you had better
go right to work and turn up something

Senator Palmer's plan OF restricting i'm

bring certificates of good character from

trial. In any event it viii be much bet
ter safeguard against the influx OF objec-
tionable immigrants than anything else

Not the least commendable features of
the plan is that such immigrants as are

Feeling the burthen of inconvenience
under which the entire state of Kansas
has struggled and suffered for months
and years in the matter of inadequate
mail facilities, the Kansas City Times at
last feels constrained to kick at what it
has the temerity to. denorlnce as the
short-sighted policy of Mr.. Villas and the
postoffice department The press Of this
state have rung it in the ears of the adj
ministration until it seemed like singing
psalms to a dead horse, but now that we
have the assistance of a prominent and
influential member of 'the household of
faith on our side may hope our plea
will be heard, some time. The. Times
reiterates what we and every other Kan
sas paper have said over and over again,
that 1.-The facilities afforded are not what
they ought to be-" and then goes on to
say that 1.-The only way to make them
adequate is to keep hammering into the
Washington mind the fact that there are
three thousand miles of railroad in Kan
sas which were not there January 1,
1886; that there are three hundred thou
sand people more in Kansas and a
hundred thousand more in and about
Kansas City than there were then Our
congressman andsenators ought to know

and congressional committees commit
these western figures to memory"

While the peace of the world has been
virtually unbrozen during the past year.
that of Europe has continued to be
propped up by bayonets. England is
still endeavoring to conquer Ireland and

the death spectre always in sight point
ing his finger at both emperor and crown
prince. has been arming against both
France and Russia and straining every
nerve to increase its military strength
France, torn with internal dissentions
and plottings, has been demoralized by
scandals in official circles, resulting at
last in peaceful revolution, which
places Sardi-Carnot in the president
office in place of Jules Grevy. The
French situation is such that Germany
will be relieved of special anxiety on her
account for some time. Russia has en-
joyed its monthly succession of nihilist
attempts to kill the car, and meantime
has advanced its armies towards the
gates of India on the east, and caused
uneaslness to Germany and Austria by
massing troops on the west Italy has
been wasting its revenues in a costly but
unsuccessful campaign in Abyssinia.

Of what has been accomplished and what
may come with the future From every

be one of unusual business activity.
