THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
The Contractor Getting into a DS-
lemma.

The contractor Getting into a Di-
lemma.
Work has been steadily continued on
the Federal building, until it is now at
the end of the first story. Nearly a
month ago, it will be rememb bered, Mr..
Windrim, the Supervising Architect of
the Treasury, wrote to Gen. Vandever
that it was the opinion of the Department
at Washington that work had better be
stopped at the top of the first story, 30
that if Congress should see fiji to increase
the appropriation, the building could be
easily increased, both in its ground floor
and in it's number of stories.
General Vandever acceded to this
view of the case, and it met general
favor with the press of the city. But
nothing further was done. The work
proceeded, and but for one accidental
circumstance it would now have pro-
gressed we'll into the second story. The
plans call for six rounded buttresses on
the Main street aud Winston street sides,
and for these circular brick had to be
made. These have not yet arrived, and
as the work cannot be continued until
these buttresses are finished, the brick
layers have been laid off.
Only few men are at work on the
| building now, these being employed in
getting the iron beams of the flooring into
place. Whenever the circular bricks
| arrive, which will be in few days, the
buttresses will be put in, and the work
on the second story begun. 1t will be
begun, that is, il no order is received from
the Supervising Architect in the mean
time that it must stop. If it is continued
beyond the point where Mr.. Windrim
proposed that it should stop, it is not
improbable that the Department will
think best to have it pushed on to the
completion of the building, in which case
an additional appropriation will be
very hard to obtain. 1t is
not the business of the contractor
and architect who have the building in
hand, to trouble themselves about the
unofficial utterances of the Supervising
Architect, or the opinion of the Reprenta-
tive OF the district; 80 they will continue
the work until they are ordered to desist.
MIR. Windrim probably labors under the
illusion that the building is not much be-
yond the foundation, and there is no
necessity for haste. 1t may be more
over, that the necessary red tape has not
been gone through with, and that no one
has warned the Government of the me-
I cAsatv for haste

They Are Registering,

Those who oppose the sewer bond
proposition would open their eyes II
they were to stand at the registration
clerks desk in the Court House and see
the number of men who are registering
to vote at the bond election. They are
all laborers, all seem to be out OF work,
and they will all vote for the bonds. 1t
is an easy matter in this way to get 500
or more votes for the bonds. 1t is fair
assumption that not one citizen who is
opposed to the bonds and is not on the
register already, will take the trouble to
put his name in and get certificate.

HOW THEY STAND.

From the Emporia Republican.
A correspondent of the Topeka Capital
interviewed the Kansas delegation at
Washington, with regard to their views
on removing the duties on sugar and
salt. The answers show . wide diverg-
ence of opinion. Morrill, IS not favor
free sugar but wants hec y reduction
of the duty, and wants salt free. Fun
ston is for whatever his constituents
want concerning sugar, and opposes re-
moving the duty from salt. Perkins
would leave duties on both articles as
they are at present. Kelley is emphat-
ically for free salt, but prefers to be
guided by the wishes of the people as to
sugar. Anderson was non-committal.
Turner would place both sugar and salt
on the free list. Peters would retain the
duty on salt and is not fully decided as
to sugar. Plumb didn't wish to talk on
the subject at present ingalls, was for
high duties on both. If Kansas exerts
no influence upon the decision of the
questions of free salt and free sugar IN
congress, it will not be difficultto under
stand why.

A QUESTION OF GALLANTRY.

The papers are still talking about the
incident that occurred III Q New York
street car some time ago wherein Mrs.
Cleveland was compelled to stand up
while travelling the distance of a mile or
more. OF course the structures are all
aimed at the boorish men who occupied
seats in the car, and it Is cited as evil
dence of the degeneracy of the chivalric
qualities that erstwhile characterized
American manhood. The incident re-
minds us of a similar one that Is alleged
to have occurred in Washington City
some years ago. The woman's Fighters
were holding one of their periodical pow
vows there and among the other notables
who were in the city was Miss Susan b.
Anthony. Miss A. entered street car
to go to a distant part of the city; the
car was full of passengers, several OF
them being men. Of course every one
at once recognized our heroine, but not
a soul stirred to make room or offer her
a seat. This provoked some sarcastic
remark from her, soto voice, about the
lack of gallantry among the men OF the
capital city. A wagish sort of a fellow
who was setting near her ventured to
ask Miss Susan if she did not believe
women entitled to all the rights and
privileges of men, to which she replied
with an emphatic "yes." ''Then," re-
marked the wag, complacently, ''stand
I'D and enjoy them like man."

RAINFALL.

1t is by many supposed that the lack OF
rain and its unequal distribution is the
weak point in Kansas as an agricultural
state, and this is true as applied to the
whole state, but persons who think we
haye small average rainfall in eastern
Kansas, may be surprised to know that
our rainfall is through the summer
months larger than that on the North
Atlantic coast, being on an average for
the past fifteen years at Manhattan. fifty
seven miles west of Topeka, where an
accurate record has been kept by the
government at Fort Riley, over Is 1-2
inches during the four months of May,
June, July and August, which are known
here as our growing months, as during
this time our crops are grown and ma
tured. This gives an average for the tif-
teen years of upwards of 4 inches per
month for each of these months. The
average per month for these four months
at Boston, from 1871 to 1887, inclusive,
is 3:72 inches; at New York, for the same
period of time, 3:7S inches, and at Bur
iington. VT, for the three years ending
with 1887, 1--WE had no data covering "a
longer period,) it is 2:95 inches. The
average yearly rainfall in eastern Kan
sas during the period covered by the
record is between "a and 80 inches.

THE GREAT CHINESE PUZZLE.

Harper's Magazine for January,
Imagine a language devoid of gram
mar or syntax; unhampered by declen-
sions, moods, lenses, or infections OF
any kind; essentially monosyllabic: in
which the slightest change OF pitch IN
the voice completely modifies the SEN
tence; subject to no rules of logic or
construction; a language petrified into
solid blocks, and representing human
thoughts as MOSAIC represents a
picture; a language in which every SEN
tence is a puzzle even to the sons OF the
country: language which once written
can no longer be lead, but must be scan
ned-and even then you have imagined
but a few of the characteristic peculiar
tiles of the Chinese.
1t has often been said, it is still said
today, that the Chinese speak after the
fashion of children. directly, straight to
the point, with an energy of expression,
directness of purpose, and natural
logic devoid Of the artiticiality OF Occi-
dental tongues. AS an example OF this
child-hke simplicity, which we may be
pardoned for thinking peculiar, let US
take the following sentence. A China
man says to US:
"To have-one-(numerical PARTICLE
widow-wife - he-to be - religion
-house-although forsooth-not
to count-rich-noble arrive-bot-
tonic pass-to neutrality-suspicious."
We see at once that in his simple,
straightforward way he meant to say:
"There lived a christian widow who
possessed all that she needed; though
not rich, she had enough to live upon"
If brevity be the soul of wit, our
children of today have certainly improv-
ed upon the Chinese rendering, though
how they might have expressed them
selves fifty or sixty centuries ago, when
the Chinese language was being invented.
we have, of course, no means of know
ing. If the parents of that time at all
resembled those Of today they would
have allowed the children to prattle on
unheeded until they knew better. or sent
them to bed-or- Well, whoever was
right, somebody was wrong. So much
for the vaunted simplicity of Chinese.

In another column will be seen anoth-
er article from ''Kansan" on the ques-
ton of immigration in which he sub
mits some suggestions as to the
organization of the movement formally
at the meeting of the convention to be
held in this city on the 18th of January;
also some ideas touching plans of opera
ton to carry the immigration movement
into effect. These suggestions were
brought out by letters of inquiry on those
points, and will serve as sort of cue,
to all who are taking an interest in this
important matter. "Kansan" does n OF
say that so far no definite plan of action
has been adopted, but that is the true
state of the case. No one is authorized
to do this as yet, else there would be no
need for convention of representatives,
from the counties of the state. 1t will
be the province, as it will be the special
duty of the convention to formulate a
plan OF action, and what is said or may
be said on that subject before hand is
simply meant in suggestive sense.

The Wichita EAGLE says the Farmers
Alliance has some good ideas that ought
to be put in practice. This is true enough,
but a good many of them are imprac-
ticable.-Topeka Journal.
That is altogether from what stand
point they are viewed. Ali the trusts
and combines of the country think the
same thing. All the option grain
gamblers and stock wreckers of the coun-
try will also endorse your observation.
Congress itself is with very troubled
spirit contemplating the ''impracticable"
notions of the Farmers alliance. Upon
the other hand the EAGLE recognizes the
truth of the axiom that revolutions never
go backwards.

A new weatherologlst has arisen in the
land and his name is Ire R. Hicks. He
has prepared and had published storm
calendar for 1890, in which the storm
periods for the year are given, the days
and dates of which are distinctly mark
ed. He claims approximate accuracy
for the forecasts, being as he says the
result of much study and constant OBJ
servation for several years. The first
period is set down for January 5, 6 and
z, and the next for the 18th, 18th and
10Th. The confidence of the public in
these forecasts depends upon their full
fillment rather than his promises.

EXCHANGE SHOTS.

From the Atchison Patriot.
We are inclined to believe the Bible is
right when it says it is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of needle than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of
Heaven. Evidently the man who accu-
initiates the most treasure on this earth
is the same man who has the smallest
credit balance in the Heavenly ledger.
We have observed that in acts OF char
ity the rich man cuts a very Insignificant
figure. He is not the man who heads
subscription lists for the benefit OF wild
ows and orphans. and the hungry and
naked are seldom fed and clothed from
his bounty
