Tradition Don't Count.

From the Kansas City News.
In Massachusetts Sherman Hoar has
left the traditions of his fathers and is
running for congress on the Democratic
ticket. There is no telling what a boy
will DO when out from the paternal in
tluence. Out in Kansas a worse case of
political heresy Is reported where a
father and son are opposition candidates
and it is the father who has gone from
the fold.

Senator Plumb displayed more indie

A few more brave Republicans and the

WHO IS TO BLAMEP

Governor Humphrey calls attention in
one of his speeches to an experience we
have all had and for which we are all to
blame:
Il speak of this from practical expert
ence, as / have been a sufferer with you.
When the craze for railroad building
came upon this state we voted bonds
with a recklessnes5 that surprised the
world, never thinking of the day when
they would become due or of the taxes to
pay the interest. We even considered
men traitors who said aught against
these bonds, who were standing out
against the development of the country.
We now pay when perhaps we can lily
afford to do 50. I do not say we have
not been benefited for we have, as
country has been developed that would
still be waste had we done otherwise.
There were piled up municipal bonds for
city improvement, for school houses, for
bridges, making grand total that is
startling. Who is to blame for all this:'

A THINKER's OPINION.

A Paris reporter q short time ago
thought it would be a sensible thing to in
terview Renan, one Of the accepted oracles
of human thought, on the threatened in
vasion of Buddhism. The great philoso-
pher and moralist took the matter serious
ly and practically. He acknowledged the
admirable moral theories that the system
had given 20 the world, but regarded its ex-
cessive gentleness and resignation, its
horror of blood, its asceticism, its illumina-
tons, as tending to demoraliZc and destroy
the race. The nations vowed 10 the faith
were dead politically and morally. Some
of them were swept away by the Tartar in
Nasions.
Those which remain, in which Buddhism
may almost be said 10 be state religion,
and that does not include China and
Japan, amount to nothing. There is moth
ing in Buddhism which corresponds with
THE temperament of any western nation Of
this epoch, which is all for action, and has
no sympathy with the perfect repose of
the nirvana As TO the transmigration or
the passage Of beings retaining something
Of the human form from star 10 star, the
philosophers ideas were not of that wan
dering character, and he had no time to
discuss such a vsGdDond theory.
1t hardly needed the opinions even Of
thinker so profound and so practical as
Renan 70 convince any sensible man that
IL the world ia ever 70 return 10 Buddhism
Il Is not Just at this epoch. There is moth
ing in the spirit of the age 70 encourage
its followers TO persist in the attempt az
conversion. The world is Just now too
busily occupied to accept any form Of faith
that is purely reflective. In Europe the
condition OF armed truce offers no vantage
ground TO abstract thought. There is not
only tbs rivalry al home 70 ell the minds
ef governments and people, but colonial
policy that takes up al their spare time
and rounds out their sphere OF action
As for ourselves, there ia so much TO do,

The amendment proposed by the

1t would be difficult to-recall d more
notable instance in illustration of the
falseness of the basis on which the
whole fabric of European political So
ciety rests than that reported in the ac-
count Of the banquet which was given
by Prince Bismarck on Tuesday night
and which, as the cablegram expresses
it. was "honored" by the presence Of
the young Emperor Of Germany.
Who are these two persons? Bis
marck is a man who from a compare
lively humble position has advanced,
by the force Of powerful will and Wig
orous intellect, to the CHARACTERISTIC Of
the German Empire; a man who has
made a reality the immemorial dream
of German unity;a man who has raised
the reputation of bis fatherland to the
very highest pitch of national glory; a
man who is projected against the vast
background Of the present century as
the greatest figure that has appeared in
EuroDean history since the death OF
Napoleon 1.
On the other hand, who is the En-
peror william? He is a youth who
owes to accident alone the exalted po-
sition which he now occupies. He ID

he is seated. And yet we are told tina

Wsare informed that after the Dime
was over the Emperor particularly re
quested the Chancellor to smoke his pipe
which the Chancellor doubtless pro
ceedsd to do, although the cablegran
throws no light upon this importan
point. In this age the whole seem
borders very closely upon the farcical
and probably caused the grim old Chan
csllor himself, conscious Of the grea
