has been In the Senate good many years,
and as the population Of Kansas is made up
largely of farmers, ii is altogether probable
that he would have been ready at
any time to champion: any measure for the
farmers of his State, If the farmers had
known of any such measure. Senators are
always anxious to please the great majority
OF their constituents. Probably a more ex-
act expression of the cause Of this dissatis-
faction with the Senator would be that he
mad not discovered or invented any measure
which would avert the hard times with
which the Kansas farmer is at present af-
nieted. 1t Is common thing when COM
munlty Is not prosperous, for it to look
round for scapegoat, and therefore there is
nothing peculiar about this attack on Senator
ingalls,. But the justice of 1t is quite anoth-
er matter. The probability is that Senator
ingalls, has done as much for the Kansas
farmer as any man could in his position.
The difficulties they are laboring under
could not have been averted if the Senate OF
the United States had devoted its entire
attention for years back to the Kansas farm,
and had spent its days and nights construct
| ing measures for its benefit. Farms heavily
mortgaged. frequently at very high rates of
| interest, and bad seasons are at the founda-
| ton of the diff :ulties. No measure which
| Senator ingalls, could have championed or

by young lady, who had pleasant word

is divided by plain board partition into
two parts, making gymnasium or exercise
room and library. A few of the boys seat
ed themselves in the library, looking over
books and papers, while the greater part en-
joyed themselves in vigorous gymnastics.
After nearly an hour spent in these rooms,
the bell struck and the boys went into the
adjoining room, called the armory Here
they were drawn up in line with military
precision by an older comrade, and marched

There each class took seats around table,

One class were tracing the trip of Nelly BLY,

Next they were seated around the room.

A gentleman present took charge at the COM

to one of the boys, who presided with great
dignity The question discussed was
whether Money or Friends should be Most
Desired" The speeches were mostly short,
but some were very bright. Nearly all had
something to say, and it was voted by great
majority that friends are better than money.
Soon after o'clock the meeting adjourned,
and the boys took their caps and filed down
the stairs, evidently well pleased with their
evenings entertainment
There are about $50 boys enrolled as men,

The same feeling that is enter
tanned in Paris at the selection of
Chicago instead of New York as
the place for the Worlds Fair undoubtedly
prevails in all the other European capitals,
New York is the American city well known
throughout Europe, and, if we except Wash
ingtoB, the only one. The selection of Chi
cago in preference to New York appears as
strange to the Europeans as would the selec-
ton Of Liverpool instead of London, or
Lyons instead of Paris to US. Undoubtedly
from the standpoint of a Worlds Fair Con-
gress made mistake when It made
the choice it did. New York is on
the coast and therefore more accessible TO ex-
hlbits from foreign countries, the people of
europe are more familiar with It and there
lore more likely to visit it. The selection ~
second rate city naturally CONVEYS the i'm
preston to the Europeans that tbe;sbon, g. -

country Chicago on the whole would be nras
cradle to New York, because it is more con
trail and more easily reached by the preat
mass of the inhabitants of the coun trv thar

York would have been better. The
matter is settled now, however, and settled
in favor of Chicago.

The progress to conversion to ballot reform
according to the Australian system of men
who started off fiercely denouncing it as con.
trary to the principles of a republican form
of government, as useless and inexpedient in
every respect is very interesting. We have
HAD several very notable examples in this
State, hnt tho p..h4ic rs sufficiently familiar
with them. The most conspicuous opponent
of the reform in the country has been Gov.
Hill Of New York. In the month of June,
1888, he styled the Australian system
'mongrel foreign system" and
treated it with contempt. A year
later he didn't sheer at it, but he regarded it
as cumbersome" and unconstitutional. -
Last January he had progressed so far
toward conversion that he was ready to ad.
NIT that some of its features were really
admirable" but there were some Others
which he thought ought to be modified. This
week he sent to the legislature message in
which he expressed approval of the system
without reservation, but was afraid that
some features of it might not stand the test
OF constitutionality. A year more and the
chances are that he will claim to have in
vented the system. Even Hill isn't imperyi-
GUS to public opinion.
