The translation Of the works OF
the Sweet Swan Of Avon into Chi
nese suggests the idea that II will
not be long before PIg-tailed son OF
Denmark will be In every province,
transforming the country with ITO
be or not to be-" The Chinese
Hamlet will have q broad field to
grow in, and no doubt the learned
MandArins will put In 9 few fancy
frilIs which will make our Booths
and Barretts grow green with envy.
THE American flag which hOated
over the American consulate OF
Samoa, riddled and torn by German
bullets and scorched by the flames
created by German shells, IL q fine
relic to preserve In Washington as q
sample Of the Cleveland admins
trAtiOn. Premier BAyard, looking
upon this relic, says the American
flag has not been insulted. No, -
judged by the "Americanism' OF
the outgoing administration.
BISHOP JOHN r. HURST, Of the VI.
r. church, owns q block Of build
ings at the southwest corner Of
Eighth aud Holmes street, Kansas
City, valued at $4,000. He also
owns property valued at $4,000 In
other parts Of the city. II John
Wesley were alive he would ask OF
this and other wealthy bishops OF
his church: Upon what hath this
our Caesar fed that he has grown so
Ereat-in worldly wealth.
REV. ROBERT INGERsOLL at the
obsequIes OF Mary Fiske: 1--WE
pray thee, mother nature, that thou
wilt take this woman and hold her
a. tenderly In thy arms rs she held
and pressed against her generous,
throbbing heart the abandoned babe.
We seek no more" An ancient
Roman or Grecian could have uttered
more cOnsoling words than these
for bereaved relatives or friends.
SOME Of the frothy Kansas editors
who have nothing else TO write
about, attempt TO be smart in their
references to the present Legislature.
They crack the old chestnuts in
new tunes, but not in much different
words. The present Legislature
will not suffer in comparison with
its predecessors, and there IL no
sense in decrying its lAbOrs.
IT seems TO he settled that ID. q.
McCray, assOciste editor Of the
Capital Commonwealth, il to have
the executive clerkshIP in the Gov
ernOr's Office. II IL a pity to see a
good editor shelved in an Office Of
that kind, but il McCrsy wants II
we are glad that his wish isRratified.
He ought really to have something
better.
The Kansas City GioL', which
has just made its appearance, is
very beautiful and substantial In
appearance, and we hope its future
may be commensurate with all this.
II IL fully as good As any Kansas
City paper, and deserving Of great
suecess. II u independent in
politics.
The Oklahoma bill will not reach
the President In time to receive his
signature-even 10 it should pass
the Senate. The President will
want time TO refer the bill to the
Indian Office and the Attorney
General, and it is not likely there il
time enough for all this.
The United States Senate, with
the President of the Senate a
Republican, will, after the 4th Of
next March, consist Of thirty-niue |
Republicans and thirty-seven |
Democrats, and so remain for two
years thereafter, unless changed by |
some special cause.
FOUR states-namely, Pennsyl- |
vania, Massachusetts, New Hamp- |
shire and Nebraska-wiIl this year
vote on the Prohibition question.
II is quite probable that all those
states will be added To the list Of |
Prohibition states.
NORMAN J. COLEMAN, Of Missouri,
has been nominated by the Presi-
dent for the new Cabinet position,
Secretary Of the Department OF
Poor old Missouri
recognized at last!
Cot p. ID. FISHER, well-knOwn by
old Kansans as the man who located
the first two divisions on the old
Kansas Pacific Railroad, recently
died at Columbus, o., his home Of
late years.
The Kansas City Globe calls
Harrison "chief journeysr
and lord high politician chaser"
We guess the Globe does not pro-
pose TO be = member Of the next
cabinet.
II Kansas City can change Its
name to CentrOpOlis; Wyandotte to
City; and Clay Center to
clay, the world will revolve slicker,
md the stars shine brighter.
"She wrote lines that leap with
