A NOTED KANSAS CITY.

A paper published in Cincinnati in the
interest of State Sunday school conven-
tons, says of the coming convention of
the Christian church: The greatest
Sunday school convention ever assem-
bled III Kansas will convene at AtchisOn,
May 20. AtchiSon is the second
greatest railroad center in the
state, and one of the greatest
in the west. 1t is the home of
distinguished men. 1t IS here that the
late Governor John A. Martin lived for
more than quarter of century. Ex-
Governor George ". Click still lives
here. This is the home Of Senator John
J. Ingalls,, the most distinguished citizen
of Kansas. and in the estimation of
many. the most eloquent statesman in
the national senate This Is the place
where q mob desired to take the life Of
the now lamented Pardee Butler. and
where they tied him to raft and set
him afloat in the Missouri river. And
it was near he preached probably the
first sermon representing the Disciples
of Christ in Kansas. Pardee Butler did
much for the Sunday school cause in
Kansas. especially in Atchison county,
where his wife and sons and daughter

The New York worlds fair executive
committee refuses to disband. 1t doesn't
give up the fight, but, on the contrary, has
some hope that New York may yet get the
fair. Chicago is evidently going to demand
two things, VIZ. that the fair be postponed
to 1898, and that the government foot the
bills, to a considerable extent, at least. New
York was ready to hold the fair in 1892, and
she was going to ask no appropriation from
congress aside from one for a government
display. If Chicago does not agree to do
what New York would have done, the fair
shouldgo to New York. The idea of cole
bratingthe 4O0th anniversary of the dis
covery of America by holding fair in 1893
is ridiculous; and the notion that the gov
eminent must foot the bills is not popular
with the people,

They VIII Favor Their Friends.

1t is pretty safe to predict that the
| Mckinley tariff bill will contain no pro-
! visions that are Objectionable to their
friends, the monopolists. The bill will be
| framed in the interest of the Republican
party, and not of the people. The duty on
steel rails is ST per ton, although at the
ruling prices here and in England it would
rot be possible to import steel rails into this
country at a profit. even if there were no
duty on them. 1t is not probable, however,
! that there will be any considerable reduc-
ton in the duty on stee! rails. and perhaps
no reduction whatever, because the steel
rail makers want chance TO make enor-
nous profits if there should spring up sud
denly an extraordinary demand for steel
rails.
A reduction in the duty on rice, however,
will be made, and, in all probability, it will
be a very large one. On some kinds of rice
it will be as much, 1t is reported, as so per
cent. 1t is a welI-known fact that 1t Is
now difficult to grow rice at profit. The
cost of producing rice is so much greater
than what it was under the old system of
labor that there is profit in growing it in
only exceptionally good years. Why, then,
should the republicans strike blow at rice
while favoring the steel rail manufactur-
ers! Is there any other reason than that the
rice planters are not republicans, while the
steel rail manufacturers are, and also are
large contributors to the Republican
party's campaign funds9 There does not
appear TO be any other reason.
The rice planters could, of course, stand
a reduction of the duty on rice If there
were reasonable reductions in the duty on
the articles which they need in their homes
and on their plantations, but there does not
seem to be auy ground for thinking that
there will be any reduction worth mention
ng on such articles.
The truth is, the Republican party has
no sympathy with the south, and it will
strike her a blow whenever it has an
opportunity to do so. Not only is it pro-
posed to make great reduction in the duty
on rice. but there is a strong repub-
lican sentiment in favor of making
sugar free. Indeed, it would have
been decided some time ago to put
sugar on the free list if it had not been
for the protests sent to congress from Kan
sas and Colorado, where, it is hoped, the
beet and sorghum sugar industry will be
developed into immense proportions within
very few years. Those two northern
states have more influence with the govern
ment than all of the south
1t is very clear that the republicans in
congress discriminate against the south
whenever they can do so without exposing
themselves to severe criticism. The repub-
licans administer the government for the
good of their party and not for the good of
the people.

The Bailey Ordinance.

The ordinance proposed by Alderman
Bailey, making it an offense to leave horses
unhitched and unattended in the streets,
does not appear to have met the approval
of a single one Of the aldermen except its
author. II seems rather remarkable thai it
did not. 1t Is doubtful if there is another
city in the country in which horses attached
to buggies or other vehicles can be left in
the street without being hitched, or at
tended by some one. Within the last few
months there have been quite a number of
runaways, and the lives of children, and
even grown people, have been endangered
by them. Some of these days somebody
will be killed by runaway team, and then
there will be general cutlery against the
neglect of the council to give citizens the
protection to which they are entitled.
We do not know the ground on which the
ordinance was rejected, but suppose it was
the expense to which owners of horses
would be put to provide themselves with
hitching straps and weights. Is not human
life worth more than hitching straps and
weights would cost? The rejection of the
ordinance really amounts to an admission
that, in the opinion of council, to protect
human life in the way proposed would be
too expensive.

1t Doesn't Cost Money!.

w. G. Dodge, in NetC York World
1t doesn't cost money, as many suppose,
To have good time on the earth:
The best of its pleasures are free unto those
Who know how to value their worth.
The sweetest of music the birds to us sing.
The loveliest flowers grow wild,
The finest of drinks gushes out of the spring
All free to man, woman, and child.
No money can purchase, no artist can paint
Such pictures as Nature supplies
Forever, all over, to sinner and saint
Who use to advantage their eyes.
Kind words and glad looks and smiles CHEEKY
and brave
Cost nothing-no, nothing at ALL
And yet all the wealth Monte Cristo could save
Can make no such pleasures befall.
To bask in the sunshine. to breathe the pure air.
Honest toll, the enjoyment of health,
Sweet slumber refreshing these pleasures we
share
Without any portion of wealth.
Communion with friends that are tried, true.
and strong,
To love and be loved for loves sake
In fact all that makes life happy and long
Are free to whoever will take.
1t doesn't cost money to have good time,
And that is the reason, alas!
Why many who might have endowment sublime
Their lives in such misery pass
1t doesn't cost money to have good time;
The worlds best enJoymentS are free;
But those who find pleasure in folly and crime
VIII not with these true words agree.

He Has Regular Spells.

Essays have been written, by the way, upon
the deplorable physical condition vulgarly
termed Jag, and its various conditions and
phases have taxed to the utmost the descriptive
powers of learned men, but there is a we'll

might be properly termed the ''orthographical

sentence. In conversation he employs only the
largest words, andbe spells them ali out. often

equal a common school education; but he does
not have these bad spells very often His

The Boston TrGreler, republican news
paper. says that there is a disposition on the
part of the Massachusetts legislature to deal
leniently with ballot box manipulators and
repeaters. This amounts to admission that
there is ballot-box manipulation and re-
peating in Massachusetts, and that the legis-
lature, which is republican, doesn't want to
interfere, because the work of that kind is
by republicans. Congressman Henry Cabot
Lodge ought to make a few remarks about
this, but he won't; he is too busy working
at the southern outrage mill.
