ENGLAND'S POOR NAVY

1t is an open secret that the British
navy is in anything but fit condition to
guard England or English commerce if
John Bull should find homself one of
these days involved in a war with one of
the first-class powers. The British adj
miralty has been taking things easy for
several years. The result is that Eng
land has awakened 10 the unpleasant
fact that she will have To construct a
new navy if she wants to hold her own
on the seas.
The bungling that has been the dis
tingushing feature of the British ad-
miralty was exemplified two weeks ago
in the loss in the Mediterranean of the
sultan, one of the finest of the British
iroclads. The British admiralty has done
Its best TO keep the loss Of the sultan a
secret, as it was thought that the loss Of
a British man-of-war in a sea so well
tracked as the Mediterranean is would
reflect seriously on the British service.
A fleet consisting of seven ironclads.
under the command of the Duke of
Edinburg. Is about to start for the
Mediterranean to see if the sultan can
not be got Off the rocks on which she is
fastened. 1t is very doubtful if she can
be saved. The sight of seven ironclads
sailing up the Mediterranean to rescue a
British man-of-war is suggestive of the
bungling way in which John Bulls navy
is managed,

KENTUCKY JURISPRUDENCE.

That is an interesting story told by the
telegraph of Kentucky judge, who
hearing that the sheriff and his posse
were routed by a gang of desperadoes,
appointed judge pro tenn and went out
to head another posse himself against
the banditti, surprised, captured, killed
and dispersed them in a jiffy. The incl
dent reminds of one that occurred IN a
court room in that state several years
ago. The Judge directed the sheriff to
close the doors and permit no one to
leave the room. He then stated that he
had positive proof that a certain gentle
man in the room had concealed upon his
person deadly weapon-a pistol-and
that if he would walk up and lay the
pistol on the clerk table he Should not
be arrested and prosecuted. !, man IN
the audience promptly arose, went for
ward and disarmed himself. The judge
said to him that he was glad to see him
accept the offered clemency, but that he
was not the person alluded to, and re-
peated the proposition. 1t was respond
ed to as the first and brought OFT a like
statement from the court. 1t is stated as
fact that this proceeding was kept up
until there were twenty-five pistols lying
upon the clerks table. They have some
entirely original notions about lawless-
ness and laws in the Bourbon state, but
it must be allowed that the instances and
incidents mentioned are not entirely
without commendable features, in the
matter of promptness, effectiveness and

OVER PRODUCTION OF MEAT.

In the course Of a long. statistical and
exhaustive article State Senator Kelly in
his paper, the Mcpherson Freeman,
says:
This dressed beef business, against
which there is an Outcry, has opened to
Europe the largest and cheapest supply
of fresh meats that ever reached that
continent, as the Argentine Republic and
Australia had more cattle and sheep in
1880 than the total number in the United
States. This, then being the condition
of American beef and mutton, an in
creasing product. with a market becom-
ing yearly more circumscribed, how
could prices be otherwise than de-
pressed:
In addition to this. during the past
winter the class and receipts of cattle at
the Kansas City stock yards for the
month of January show sufficient cause
for low prices. January receipts We're
1S 600 against 1900 for the
same month in 1888 and %, 900
for January 1885. The cattle too. were
of low grade and go upon the market
as the cheapest kind of beef. An over
stocked market makes the buyer indie
to buy today he will have an opportunity
tomorrow, whereas a sCant market
stimulates every buyer to bid on every
thing that comes in sight. The cattle
maket like the wheat for several wears

ing thousands of head to be marketed
half grown and half fatted.
lN,f- e ~, L i
no more than keep pace with population,
Is bringing fairly good prices even with
grass beef low.
Fresh meat shipments by general dis
tribution of the product, has largely
increased the consumption of beef and
mutton.
Every burden placed upon the distrib-
utation of food supplies falls upon the
producer. Inspection laws enacted by
the several states would result in a re-
turn TO the old method of shipping west
ern beef on hoof, the increased cost Of
such transportation over that of the net
product falling upon the cattle raiser
Check, as this would, the quick, safe and
cheap distribution of western beef and
with the rapidly increasing quantities we
have. prices to the producer would drop
to point which we have not seen for
many years. Rapid, cheap, and safe
distribution of food supplies, must be
hand in hand with production in order
to insure best prices. The west of all
! sections cannot afford TO proclaim TO
the world that her great beef product
! is so infected with disease that public
/ health inspector of meats has become a
necessity TO every community. The
west cannot afford to set an example
which if followed by the east. would
! tend TO the destruction of this industry
and a very material depreciation in
value of every hoof of catCle on our
/ western prairies. We cannot afford TO
turn back in the march of progress but
should keep abreast with the improve
/ ments in the commercial world. correct
ing evils as they appear upon the sur
| face, with wise legislation, without,
however, through hasty and i'll consid-
/ cred measures, overturning great sys-
! TENS and lines of business that have
/ grown up in obedience TO the demads of
an improved civilization,

THE KANSAS GIRL.


From the McCune Times.
'Kansas, the land of corn and content
ment," is prolific also in fair women and
brave men. Your Kansas girl IS as plump
as partridge, as coy as quail; healthy,
hearty, active, independent and happy as
the big suntiower Of which that state Is SO
Justly proud. And there is spot in Kan
sas where female loveliness seems to have
been crystalized and concentrated as 1t
were-Minneapolis Tribune.
The Kansas girl is a patriot and an en-
thusiast in regard TO her western home,
whether it is the place of her nativity or
not Witness the young lady of Wichita
who was sent to college in the east, the
principal of which made a practice
of reading to the school every morn
ing outrageous stories about the
poverty and suffering existing here
about the untold devastation of the
drouth-also the archaic song aud dance
about the grasshopper that comes every
year to blight the land as plague.
Witness her indignation and her letter
home telling her pa ali about 1t, and
notice how the old gentleman promptly
sent her a check to pay her bills ana
come home and go TO school IN the Sun
flower state. These are the kind of peo-
ple that live in Kansas. Is it any wonder
that they have voted and prosecuted in
the interest of her destiny until now she
stands before the world enjoying almost
entire absolution from the great curse
that is the blight of SO many of her
sister states. Ad astra per aspera! And
the women are doing an equal share OF
the work, and does anybody doubt that
we will get there Eli!
And finally the Kansas girl is daisy.
figuratively speaking-independent, IN
teliigent. energetic and honest, She
never cheats except in the quadrille, and
then the smile she gives more than re-
pays you for the smart of her innocent
caprice. All honor to the Kansas girl
say we, and therefore in our imperfect
way we submit the following toast:
All praise to the queen OF our pralrles
Whose lips with treacle thrill;
Upon whose cheek the faint rose tarries
And the tints of health dlstlll.
She is bright and clipper and cheerful,
OF mirth she seldom clogs;
Yet is occasionally sad ana fearful
In the test of Hfe's alloys
She takes man. the unworthy heaven,
And gives him blessed glrth,
In her life, that is part or heaven,
Jst pre-arranged here on earth.
And here. let US say. God bless her,
Whether wife widow or elve-
All shamel that we tried TO confess her,
a woman grown at twelve.
The pick of the world is before you
OF all these graces compiled
1t is meet that time will encore you.
Again in your comeiy child.

THE GROWTH OF CITIES.
rom the Churchmen.

From the Churchman.
The growth of cities in the present
century is without parallel or precedent
in any previous age of the world. An
examination of the facts and figures,
which, in this matter, do not lie, shows
that the cities of ancient and medieval
times were few and Insignificant in COM
parison with those of our own age.
When Rome was at its height of grand
eur and prosperity its population IS est
mated TO have been from 100000 20 p
$50. 600; the Encyclopedia Britannica"
is probably not far wrong in putting II al
about 900, 600: and in all the rest OF
Europe there was not one other city
which would now be above the third or
fourth rank in respect of population.
The only city of the first rank IN Africa
was Alexandria. with a population some
