THE TRUE REPUBLICAN SPIRIT.


General Villar, who was recently ap-
pointed minister of war in Uruguay, is
well known in the United States, and es-
pecially along the Atlantic coast. He is
able, intelligent, well read and travelled,
fully in accord with progressive modern
ideas, and will make about the best cab
met minister that Uruguay has had for
some time. He signalized his entrance
into Office by a very sensible decree. His
predecessor had issued an order prohibit
ing the reading Of certain newspapers by
the soldiers, and named especially Ell
Centinela of Montevideo. General Vii
lar promptly removed the foolish inter
dict, maintaining, in his order on the
subject, that soldiers as well as other cit
liens Of the country had right to read
whatever they pIeased. This sort of ex-
ercise of administrative power has been
50 infrequent in Uruguay for some years
past that General Villar is being unani-
mously applauded by journalists for his
action in defense of their liberty and for
his declaration Of the quality of rights of
civilians and military men Of that repub-
lie. The general has evidently not for
gotten any of the principles of feeling
instilled into him during his residence IN
the United States.

CAR HEATING DEVICE.

The subject Of heating railway coaches
may seem a tritle unreasonable for pres
ent discussion. but in view of the oft re-
curing horrors that attend railroad acct
dents, the burning of the wreck from the
overturned red hot stove, the subject is
one of interest at any and all times. The
Engineering News, in its issue Of last
Friday, published an article on the heat
ing Of passenger cars by steam The
article is of interest to the public, partic-
ularly that portion of the public which
travels, in that it does not deal in theo-
ries and speculation as to the best method
Of car heating, but gives the results
which have been accomplished
To so great an extent has the plan of
heating cars from the steam Of the en-
gines been adopted that its success may
now be regarded as demonstrated, and
other reasons than that of mechanical
impracticability must be assigned by the
railroads that decline to adopt the new
and safe system.
According to the engineering paper,
entire number of passenger coaches and
baggage cars in the country. are now
equipped with the necessary apparatus
for heating with steam from the engine
Last winter this method OF car heating
was in operation on railroads aggregat-
ing 9.4G5 miles of track.
Statistics have also been gathered as to
the companies which will have their cars
heated by steam next winter and it ap-
pears that companies controlling total
Of S2,91S miles are at work equipping
their cars. Three thousand eight hun
bred and forty of the total 1891 cars fit
ted with steam heating appliances run
on roads having a whole or a portion Of
their mileage in New York state. The
New York legislature passed a law about
two years ago requiring the steam heat
ing of passenger cars operated within the
state and allowing the companies a GER
tain time for compliance. Perhaps with
the spur of legislation to urge them on
the railroad companies in other states
would find it quite as possible to comply.
One thing is certain, if the figures of
the Engineering News are correct, the
heating of railroad cars with steam from
the engine is practicable. 1t may be ex-
pensive. but it can be done, it is done and
it should be done universally. Then,
with the car stove disposed of, inventors
and lawmakers can give their attention
to the hand brake the link and pin
coupler and the coal oil lamn.

PLUMB RIGHT.

There IS going to be a Plumb brand
placed about on every clause of the Nc
kinley bill before it goes to the president
for his signature. If any clause in that
bill isn't exactly as it should be, it will
be changed or there will be such roar
from the junior Kansas senator that the
senate chamber seldom hears. Our
Plumb is not in the senate exclusively
for his health.-Lawrence Tribune.
In pressing his resolution for a show
down, Senator Plumb said he knew that
the statement would require a good deal
of time, but it had been given out that
the present revision of the tariff would
last for ten, fifteen or twenty years. The
report of the finance committee there
fore, ought to be ample in every individ-
ual case, to explain the position of the
committee, 80 as to satisfy those of us,
continued the senator, who are in gen
eral accord with the protection idea,
which the bill is supposed to represent.
and to enable us to explain why we
voted to increase duties when the expec-
tation was we would reduce them. -

OUT OF THE ORDINARY RUN.

The New York World contains the fol-
/ lowing fantastic yarn: A New Yorker.
famous in the world of letters, awoke
one night recently from a sound sleep.
He composed himself again and was
sinking into slumber when there came
into his mind. as though out of the dark
ness, two lines of verse. rythmical, but
senSeless. They kept him awake. and
after a time two lines more. equally
smooth and absurd, presented themselves
to his consciousness. 1t seemed TO him
as though some one was debating non
sensical doggerel to him from the shad-
ows of the night. Unable to sleep, he
arose and went down stairs to his library.
| He sat quiet in the darkness for awhile,
hoping that he would fall asleep in his
chair. But a second verse, perfect in
form bat absurd in meaning, came into
his mind, and then third and fourth
Lighting lamp. he took up pen and
wrote down rapidly the lines that had
come 10 him. As he wrote. new verses
fell from his pen, and when had finished
his task poem of eight stanZas lay be
fore him. He was surprised To find that
taken in their entirety, the verses were
far from meaningless.
He at once put the poem IN an envel-
ope and directed it to publishing firm.
Placing 1t among other letters u be mail
ed by a servant in the morning, he re-
turned 10 bed and at once fell asleep.
Upon awaken he was uncertain whether
he had dreamed of writing a poem or he
had really transcribed one. As his let
tiers had been posted he had no means OF
deciding the question. His uncertainty
was pleasantly relieved the next day.
however, by the receips OF handsome
check from his publishers and letter
praising his poem. The popularity Of
this case which makes il very different
from the celebrated instance Of CoIeridxe
and his poem Of ''Kublau Khan lies in
the fact that the author had not been
dreaming Re awoke from what seemed
TO him a dead sleep and found that ms
imagination had produced. without con
scious effort on his part, powerful
poem.

The strongest indication we have seen
that congress viii not pass the Wilson
bill in relation to the liquor traffic that
went through the senate with such a
whirl last week, is the circumstance that
the house amended the senate bill in re-
lation to army canteens. That bill, as it
passed the senate, provided that no
liquors should be sold in the army can
teens (club-rooms for nOn-cOmmissioned
officers and privates) in states where
state laws either, statutory or local OPP
ton, prohibit the sale of liquors. This
provision was sticken out by the house
before it passed the bill. No further ac-
ton has been taken on the matter, the
conference committee not having made
any report 50 far.

Mr. Anderson has had his vote recorded
again and it was with the Democrats as
usual. Mr.. Anderson ought to ask for the
Democratic nomination. The amendments
was adopted and our member finds himself

Beg pardon for the intrusion. but why
single out Mr.. Anderson from among the
other four Kansas Republican congress
men who voted with the Democrats and
found themselves with the minority?
Fact Is the silver question seems 20 he
about as much a sectional one as one Of
party politics. At any rate. those Re

on the question referred 10 evidently IN
deTstand the preponderance Of public

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

The statement of the county indebted
ness of Kansas showing an increase in
the aggregate during the ten years from
1880 TO 1890 is in no sense a cause for
Encouragement to any citizen of the
state nor to any one contemplating COM
ing to this state to take residence. When
the cause Of such increase is known it
becomes a matter Of credit to the state
rather than otherwise A moments
thought will BRING to mind the fact that
during the ten years mentioned Kansas
as state has made her greatest strides
in material development and the acquisi-
ton Of wealth. During that time the
state has nearly doubled in population;
the mileage Of her railroads has increased
over fifty per cent, the result of
liberal aid from the various equities.
A greater number Of public buildings
We're erected than in all Of the previous
history, More bridges and other public
were made than all pre-
viously done put together, and many
other enterprises entered upon looking
to the upbuilding Of the communities and
the state, much of all of which has been
done Onborrowed capital.
But with all this the state nor any
county has defaulted payment of the
interest account for one day, and the
credit of the state and its counties and
municipalities stands today above par,
and as high as the highest. Kansas is
not alarmed, and no one else need be.

Original package saloons are already
withdrawing from Kansas. Public senti-
ment has been made so strong that prose
cutions and convictions are hardly neces-
sary.-K. G. Gazette.
If that is so the original package de
cision ought to be regarded as a God
send instead of an "eminatiOn from the
devil as some Of its severest critics
have denouncedit. From the way Topeka
welcomed the innovation the sentiment
seemed to be the other way, and the
vigor with which the guardians of the
sentiment Of that communicated of
state, as for that-undertOOk to suppress
the saloons" whether as an evidence of
good faith. or as a bluff at the importers
pending congressional action it doesn't
matter as for the point involved herein.

What constitutes a loss by fire? The
French courts have just decided pecu-
liar case, A countess drop a piece Of
jewellery into an open CRATE fire that
melted the gold and destroyed the gems.
The insurance company refused to pay
the loss, saying that they had not in
sued against a CRATE fire Suit was
brought, and the court decided that the
insurance covered all kinds of fire, and
gave Judgment for the plaintiff. A New
York insurance company recently paid
for a new spring bonnet that was burned
by being hung over a lighted gas jet.
That seems to accord with the sense Of
the French decision.

The interstate commerce commission
''think" the freight rates on grain from
Kansas to Texas points are unreasonably
high for long distances, and grossly ex-
orbitant for the shorter, and should be
reduced. That is precisely what Kansas
producers and shippers have known for
a long time. What the latter are most
interested in is, what the commission, or
somebody else vino has authority to act
in the matter, are going to do about it.
1t is necessary to discover a wrong be-
fore it can be righted; but it were better
not to make the discovery unless the
wrong is corrected.

Events have encouraged the belief that
there is not a senator or congressman on
the Republican side who has courage
enough TO take his stand by western in
terests and fight for them until the roll
call is ended.-K. c. Times.
What about the sixteen Republican
representatives who stood by western in

rightly-on the final passage of the silver
bill as it passed that house? The state

floor of the senate that congress had
better not pass any silver bill rather than
pass such a one as was before that body.
but refer the subject free coinage) back
to the people would send representatives
there who will pass a free cornige bill.
Does the Times mean TO accuse Senator
Plumb of insincerity? And does it know
of any incident or circumstance upon
which it can base suspicion of duplicity
on his part? OF course it does not,
not, and its implied structures are simply
a mean, little partisan fling, as untrue as
unjust as uncalled for.

Saturday mornings dispatch announc-
ed that the Democratic state central
committee which met in Leavenworth
on Friday, had selected Wichita as the
place for holding the state convention
for that party. The date fixed for hold
ing the convention is Tuesday, Septem-
Der 9, six days after the date for the Re

representation IS fixed at one delegate
for each 250 votes cast for Cleveland.
The papers and leaders of the party say
that the meeting will be largest the party
ever held in the state, the convention
being composed of nearly 400 delegates,
and of course there will be hundreds of
anxious and enthusiastic statesmen of
the party from all over the state present
to see the work well done. Wichita ap-

our friends, the enemy, and will do what
she can to make the occasion pleasant TO
all visitors. and start the lambs of to the

An entorprising Britisher imported
several cannibals from Terra del Fuega
for exhibition in cheap museums. He
has been obliged to send them home.
There was insuperable difficulty in pro-
viding for them the food to which they
had been accustomed. This is the first
positive evidence that Jack the Ripper is
out of business.
