At the unwilling of the monument at

week, Ex-Governor George T. Anthony
made this statement: kansas was the
foster mother of the union soldier. and
one-tenth of the veterans musted out at
close of the war are now citizenes of this
state" This statement is undeniably
correct, and it accounts in a large
measure for the rapid strides the state
has made in material progress. AS a
rule those who served in the armies of
their country are men of decision and
energy: characteristics necessary to sue
cess in any department of life. There
is another point in this connection that
is equally pertinent, and that is, the
large soldier element in the state &C

One Effect of Rudolph's Death.

1T IS EXPECTED TO GIVE ULRTAMoNTANIsM A
FRESH GRIP ON AUsTRIA-HUNGARY.
London Cable to New York Times
Probably the most weighty result of Prince
Rudolph's sensational exit from life's stage,
although it is one of the least canvassed, will
be an increased grip Of ultramontanism on
Austro-Hungarian peoples. The closing decade
of the century bids fair, in any event, to see a
considerable augmentation of power in the
Catholic church in Europe. 1t has been strong
enough in Germany to force Bismarck to 20
more than half way to Canossa, and to wipe
many laws from the imperial statute books
Its reviying influence in France under the
stimulus of the unwise and illiberal persecu-
ton OF the radicals is most apparent factor in
the sudden uprising of Boulanglsm. and now
in Vienna, the modifying death of Prince
Rudolph, who liked scientists better than
priests, and who was professedly the hope
of the antl-clerical section in Austrian poll
tics, turns the succession of the Hapsburgs'
crown back into an ultra-orthodox channel.
The young man who it is generally expected
will be adopted as the heir to the throne has
been nursed in the narrow pietism of his
mothers Sicflian family and trained by the
Jesults. There IS a good deal of feeling IN
Austria over the manner in which the priests
and even certain prelates boycotted the re-
QUEEN services for the suicide prince. and over
the imprudent citation displayed by the clerical
press at the prospect of devoted Catholic of
the Neapolitan school coming to the throne
Not much of this gets into papers, but private

been greatly touched by the remarkable proofs
of affection everywhere extended to him by his
subjects. is said to be also impressed by this
feeling that Rome thinks she has won by his
sons tragic death, and there are consequently
renewed rumors that he will interfere with her
plan in due time by issuing new pragmatc
