Sunday evening at the Grand
Avenue Methodist church, Kansas
City, Rev. G. w. Parsons preached
a sermon on 1.-The Perils and
Advantages of City Life.'' Every seat
in the house was filed and even the
steps leading to the gallery. In the
course of his sermon in speaking of
the foreign influence i'll the cities he
said:
81 am not know-nothing. do not
voice the cry of America for Ameri-
cans. But do believe in America for
American ideas, and American morals
and the American Sabbath. and the
American conscience"
An emphatic and widespread out
burst of applause greeted this remark
DR.. Parsons filed the pulpit of the
NJ. E. church in this city twice last
summer and those who had the pleas
cure of hearing his touching addresses
| can easily excuse this unusual act Of
the audience.

AT the municipal election held in
Portland, Maine, on Monday last,
Charles j. Chapman, the republican
nominee, was elected mayor, defeating
General Neal Dow, the candidate OF
the prohibitionists and democrats, 10y
II majority of 1900. As Neal Dow is
the father of the Maine law and the
most conspicuous prohibitionist in the
country. and as he has never been q
democrat, the endorsement and sup
port of his candidacy by the democrats
is almost as surprising as was that OF
Horace Greeley by the same party.

A MEETING was held in Winfield Fri
day night for the purpose of raising
money to secure the erection of pack

who spoke in behalf of the movement
was Capt. I. II. Seward, who said:

boot and shoe stores, too many meat
markets and too many groceries now

prises here that will give employment

houses and your city will be Stunned

ORR wAsHINGTON LETTER

To the Editor Of the NEWS.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March. %,
18SS.-The news of the death of Empe-
ror William has been the cause of
much discussion in diplomatic circles
as to its effect on European situation.
The sympathy of most of the foreign
ministers seem to be with the Grown
Prince Frederick William. And there
exists much agitation on the prospect
of an early European war being pre-
cipitated by the death of the crown
prince which may follow soon upon the
death of his aged father. These i'm
pressions, not of your correspondent.
but of the diplomatic service are given
as suffcient and carry weight, although
not official and only automatically ex-
pressed.
The German minister, Baron Won
AlVensleblen, formally rendered his
letter of recall to the president last
week. A dinner had been arranged by
the many diplomatic and official assO-
ciateS Of the retiring minister the day
before the emPeror's death, but owing
to his rumored death the minister felt
constrained to remain away, and so the
feastiDg had to proceed without the
guest.
Congress has begun an Investigation
into the trusts which have been
formed by many of the manufacturing
interests of the country to keep up the
price of commodities. An investigation
of the same character has been in pro-
gress for some time past by a commit
tee of the legislature of New York, but
there the results were very unsatisfac-
tory. Congress has made the inquiry
national, with the view of preventing
such combinations defeating the OBJ
jects of the proposed tariff legislation.
q During the speech OF Senator ingalls,
on the dependent pension bill the gal
leries were literally packed with curl
Gus and enthusiastic humanity All
present were well paid for patiently
waiting so long for the intellectual con-
test to begin. Ingalls, himself was in
his most sarcastic mood and with great
bitterness and venom hurled his con-
demnatory epithets at the president
and his whole party. He classed all
democrats as enemies to their country.
The fiery joe Blackburn replied in

THE Capital while claiming that Mr..
Ingalls, has ruined himself by his late
speech, says: 1--WE are truly sorry. -
Yes, sorry like jeff Davis is for his
treason. Hudson seems to hate Ingalls,
with a deadly hatred. There is
nothing mean said about the senior
senator by his political enemies that is
not copied in the Capital.

THE New York World publishes a
wonderful table of figures to prove
that there were 800, 900 more democrats
than republicans in the union armies
which suppressed the rebellion. The
World says that the governors of the
loyal states were required to keep re-
cord showing the age, residence,
nationality, religion and politics OF
every man who went into the army,
and these records are the ones which
prove The above state of facts The
often repeated charge that the demo-
cratic party is the party of ignorance
has no better proof than the mere fact
that such stuff as the above finds ready
credence among tile members of the
party. Nostate government ever kept
the records of religion and politics OF
its volunteers, much less any governor.
