will you tell me how they benefit con-
gress or the people?'
I'm the first place. they have been able
to do twice as much work under the new
rules as under the old, for the reason that
under the old rules legislation could cas-
lily be prevented by the minority. By the
many tactics, well known 10 the minority
party of that body, and much important
legislation has come from that body dur
ing the pres mt session that would have
been impossible had the minority had
the benefit of the old rules governing the
house."
How does the Kansas delegation COM
pare IN the United States senate with
that Of other states:'
1T is conceded on all hands that Kan
sas has the strongest combination OF any
state IN the union in the senate. And 1t
would be national mistake as well as
serious state blunder to make any change
in our senatorial delegation. While SEN
ator I1galls is in the chair, presiding
over the deliberations of the senate, he
has been unable 10 make as much SEEM
ing display upon the senate floor as some
other members, which would tend TO
show his impression upon the legislation
of that body. Yet no important measure
has passed but what was materially aid
ed by his counsel. And a few of the
most important would not have become
laws but for his efforts. Among which
might be mentioned the disability pen
sion bill"
The judge is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the party coming up to its
former high standard in the district and
state, as well as of John j. ingalls, being
returned to the United States senate.

INDEPENDENTS WITHIN THE PARTY

From the 81. louis Globe Democrat
\ few independent papers Of Demo-
cratic leaniugs are cJndemning the west
ern Republicans who. while opposed to
certain provisions of the Mckinley bill,
voted for the measure when it came up
for final action. Here is the Boston Her

There Is certain amount OF plausible
ity IN this view. and yet 1t Will not stand
critical examination. The Plumbs and
the Butterworths voted for the tariff bill
undoubtedly because. on the whole, they
felt confident that its good provisions
would more than outweigh Its bad ones,
and because they believed that il was
better bill than the Democracy would be
likely to frame If II were II power. Nor
have they any fear that they Will inJure

There are good reasons for the opinion

The Preacher as a Critic
rom the St. Joe Gazette.

From the st. Joe Gazette.
The criticism Of the Patti Rosa per
fCrmance Friday night, which appeared
in yesterday mornings Herald, was "a
good one and why shouldn't it have
been: 1t was written by the pastor Of
one of St. Joseph's most popular churches
who attended the performance and sat it
through. There is, perhaps, nothing
wrong in the simple fact that minister
of the gospel attended a theatrical per
Torrance, but the man Of God in the
dual role OF preacher and dramatic critic
is something heretofore unknown in the-e
parts. The wav the minister touched
upon the manner in which the charming
Patti manipulated her skirts 50 as to
attract the eve was both interesting
and unique. and it is doubtful If there j.
dramatic critic in the city who could
have done as well.

VIII be seen Again.


From the Kansas City star.
Some of the Kansas papers are kicking
on the dual site selected for the world $
fair at Chicago, because they fear that
under such an arrangement the agricul-
tural exhibits will he lost sight of and
will not command the attention which
they would have if a single site had been
chosen. That Will depend upon the
character of the display If Kansas
makes the showing at Chicago that she
did at Philadelphia, the visitors to the
fair will see it. The art gallery and the
big Corliss engine at the centennial in
1875 were nowhere as compared with the
exhibit made by the great sunflower
state. Everybody who attended the cen
tennlal saw the Kansas DISPLAY.

The condemnation of the double site
Bwindle for the worlds fair at Chicago is
universal, Chicago and the commission
excepted. A divided show in the inter
est of Doodle and speculation is all there
is to it. 1t is an outrage which no other
nation or city would have permitted,
and the criticisms which will follow
from foreign papers after this 'circus
and side show gets going will make
everybody but Chicago and the commits
sion blush with shame.

that it is not because of any personal

ability upon the part of Mr.. Kellogg. If
Mr.. Kellogg should fail of reelection the
Republicans question Will have been
answered by a majority Of all the voters
of the state OF Kansas, for there are but
two candidates for his position.

The EAGLE does not hold that Kansas
is against a protective policy, but only
that Kansas protests against policy that
protects Pennsylvania at the expense of
Kansas. As the Kansas City Gazette
plainly puts it: Protection is all right,
but the people Of Kansas are getting tired
of lop-sided application Of it. They
voted for tariff reform in 50. They
didn't vote for free trade neither did
they vote for protective Chinese wall
They want protection that protects
where protection is needed and not a iot
