The Cosmopolitan.


The American magazines have come
TO be recognized the world over as the
best illustrated and most ably conducted;
i'll fact, it is said that larger editions are
sold in England of at least two of our
leading magazines than of any of the
English monthlies. This condition has
resulted from the fact that the American
magazines hesitate at no expense either
for the purchase of manuscript or for IL
lustration. $4,000 has been paid by one
magazine for single series. Millions
are invested in the business, and they
can well afford to pay any
price for an article of unusual
interest. In proportion to bound
volumes, the magazine give as four to
one. Take for instance the c smOpolitan,
which contains annually 1886 pages by
the leading writers of the world, and
more than l 200 illustrations by clever
artists. That would make four volumes
of nearly 400 pages each, yet it is fur
nished to the subscriber at only s., 40 a
year. The publisher believed that a
first-class magazine at the low price of
$40 would be quickly appreciated by
the public. His expectations have been
more than fulfilled, and the December
issue of the Cosmopolitan reached the
100, 900 mark

A NEW MOSES ARISEN.

prosecutions that have been practiced
against the Jews of Russia by the ruling
dynasty of that country. have aroused
universal sympathy in their behalf The
resolution of sympathy for them and of
protest against such Treatment that was

But it seems a brighter day is about to

One singular result of the Koch dis
covery has been to bring out a multi
tude Of other discoveries directed to the
same end. Physicians in all parts of the
world are coming to the front with their
remedies, the successful application of
any one of which would drive consump-
ton and cognate diseases forever out of
the recollection Of man, and probably
not one of them viii survive the day on
which it was born. The fatal result of
one such experiment, that occurred in
New York a day or two ago, will no
doubt expedite that effect. And while
It was rough on the victim, it was no
doubt 4 fortunate thing for many other
anxious sufferers.

When we consider that woman is and
has always been the chief pillar in he
edifice of Christianity, the talk we hear
about the propriety of admitting her to
seat in conference has quite dash of the
ludicrous-Newton Republican.
1t be a fact that holy writ abounds
in narratives of the part woman has
played in propagating the doctrines of
Christianity, and yet the ost jealous of
the apostles in spreading the new re-
iigion and in establishing churches gave
the specific instruction, or injunction if
V u please, for women to keep silence
in the church." But. then. Paul was a
crusty old bachelor and voiced his preju-
dices rather than his good sense and
better judgment-sO the woman-in-coun-
eli champions would have the world
believe.

class. thew NAV in some measure counter,

class, they may in some measure counter
act the looseness and immortality SO
noticeable in that region, and in that
way strengthen the tone of the people.
The trouble with the Argentine Re-
public in the main has been that those
who have sought that country have
gone there for the purpose of making as
much money as possible, and that, there
fore, no such sentiment as patriotism
exists there to any appreciate extent.
If the prosecuted Jews go there to
make the countryTtheir home, their de-
scendants may impart a conservative
influence to the future nation by i'm
proving the moral tone of the people.
Speaking before the recent getting
together" of Jews and Christians at
Chicago, the Rev. John II. Barrows,
once superintendent of public instrac-
ton in Usage county, paid this deserved
compliment to the Hebrew race:
''The outcast has donned the purple.
From the days of Napoleon the Jew has
been springing to the chief places in the
European world. The ROthSchilds fur
nished the European nations in ten
years loans amounting to four hundred
and eighty-two millions of dollars
and last week they prevented a
destructive financial panic. A race
that has given to modern craftsmanship
the names of Disraeli, Gambetta and
CASTELAR,, TO poetry a Heine, and to music
Mendelssohn, is not unworthy of its
past and it is no wonder that many
Christians regard as fulfilment of pro-
phecy, and as a herald Of Israers latter
day glory and restoration to the Holy
Land, this wondrous uprising of Jewish
influence in Europe. With one-fourth
of the railway system of Russia owned
by Jew. with the bourse of Vienna
almost wholly in Jewish hands, with
sixth-sevenths of the Prussian bankers of
the Jewish race, with Jews occupying
seventy chairs in the universities of Ger
many, with the liberal press of the Ger
man empire almost wholly in the hands
of reformed Jews, and with more than
thirteen hundred Jews among the stu
dents of the university of Berlin, we are
justified in saying that no other equal
mum. er of people in Europe today has
an equal influence along the lines of COM
merce and science"

The Alliance, as a political organiza-
ton, must be in pretty bad odor down
south, if we judge from the Galveston
News estimate of it. Here is what the
News says of it:
Beware of giving yourself up to the
conclusion that the politicians of this
country will ever submit long to defeat.
If they find it impossible to get into
office through the usual party manipula-
rion they will eicher join the Alliance or
combine with some one else. The ALI
ance may find it necessary to make a
trade with either the Democratic or Re-
publican party, or to fight them both
combined. To person who is forced to
the conclusion that the average party
platform is a shrewd combination of
vote catching expedients it is quite clear
that neither of the old parties would last
without fighting chance at the juicy
spoils.'

SOME RAILROAD FIGURES.

From the School and Home.
The editor of "Poor's Manual of Rail-
roads has recently tabulated the condi-
ton and business of all the railroads Of
the country. His exhibit is an enor-
nous IN tsS of information, and we Dor
row few points from it, one or two of
which will upset some popular notions.
The roads average less than one cent re-
ceived for hauling one ton of freight one
mile. They average less than two and
a half cents received for carrying one
passenger one mile. The cost of the
roads equipped averages Sj3. 800 per
mile. The capital stock of all the roads
is So. 500 per mile. and the bonded debt
is S30,OiS per mile. The capital stock of
all roads Is 81. 495, U99. 31S. while the ex-
cess of assets over liabilities Is only SEA. =
039, 90i. That Is. If all the railroad debts
were paid. the assets remaining would
be barely over 6 per cent on the capital
stock. The dividends paid last year av-
eraged less than per cent on capital
stock. One conclusion indicated bv
these figures Is this: Even if all hands
were willing. there Is doubt whether it
would be wise for our government 10 ac-
cept the railroads as free gift, take all
their assets and assume all their debts.
There would be no big bargain in that
transaction.

The craze for notoriety still pervades
this country. Those who are thirsting
forit seem willing to resort to anything
to obtain it. And there are as many
women as men in the throng. The last
one to come 10 the fore is a Miss Zoe
Gayton, who started from San Francisco
about three months ago on wager 10
walk across the continent to New York
at the rate of fifteen miles day. 1t is
said she passed through Hastings. Neb..
last week, about 200 miles ahead of time.
and moving along at the rate of twenty
miles per day. She is accompanied by
two men in a buggy-one TO see that she
meets with no accident-the other a. a
witness that she walks all the way. They
represent the parties 10 the wager.

half Apologize.
From the Leaveuworth Times.


Representative Breckenridge Of Ken
lucky thinks that within seven years
there will be 1000. 600 pensioners on the
roll, receiving $40. COS, 90 annually from
the federal treasury. Mr.. Breckenridge
Is decidedly modest claiming only Sl7O.-
100000 as the maximum annual paw
ment on account Of pensions. When a
man starts IN To make claims without
reference 10 facts and figures he should
tell first-class lie. The New York
Herald and hundred other Democratic
newspapers have been claiming 500. 0Oo. =
600 as the maximum annual payment
under existing pension law. 1t would
be well, however. for those who have
some regard for truth u bear in mind
that the commissioner Of pensions. who
is in position 20 make an accurate
estimate, places the outside figures at
SI45. 600. 900.

Recent advices from Brazil indicate
that there may be trouble in store for the
young republic. 1t is said that the new
government is hurrying the country
toward bankruptcy by its favoritism to a
few capitalists and its bad financial leg
islstion. We hope the republic will
not run upon any such rock as that, for
the present form of government has not
been long enough in force TO become
firmly established. A sudden failure in
any direction would be a severe strain
upon the new institutions of the country,
30 which it would be much better if they
were not subjected.

The defeat of Parnell in Mondays cleo
ton in Ireland is something of a surprise
in this country, though more from the
universal desire that he should be sue
cessful than from the conviction that the
business Of his cause would prevail.
What the effect will be upon him in
shaping his course for the future cannot
be told as yet, though it is probable that
ne will continue his fight for the leader
ship of the Irish Nationalist party.

1t looks as if the government has fin
ally teased the Indians into an outbreak
and will now proceed to give the army
some exercise. The Indians excuse was
recently put by them, in very compact
and terse statement. They had sold
their lands TO the government, but
although settlers were on it, they had
not been paid. The government gave
them so little to eat, that they must soon
die, so why not die fighting?

We notice that several alleged Repub-
tican papers in this state are quoting.
Rpprovingly, the remark of the Cincin-
natl Times-Star that lit is time Senator
Plumb was dropping his Republican
mask etc. Senator Plumb is more
proitably engaged: he is busy at trying
TO tear the mask of hypocrisy off the acts
and methods of coierie Of self-consti-
tuted bosses who seem bent upon drag
ging the party after them to destruction.
And after these same blind guides have
fallen into the ditch of public condem-
nation, they viii lift their hands and
voices pleadingly to Plumb, who they
viii see at the head of the Republican
party-if there shall be any-to save
them from the doom Of oblivion.

Wasted Sarcasm.

From the Lawrence Journal
The Indian war business is interesting
Killing Indians by means Of Gatling and
Hotchkiss guns at good safe distance
is high jinks for the boys in blue. It
would be little more pleasant though
if it were June rather than December
The war authorities should arrange with
the Indian bureau to have the periudic
Indian killings at seasOnable times. By
tee way, it is a pity that Sitting Bulls
son, Black Bird. was killed and his 70
year-old lad badly wounded. They
might have been educated by their
white bTOthers.
