The Kansa. Republlcan Platform.

The platform fayors Il national elec.
tion law 'applying TO every part OF
the country" If that be true, why
indnrse the Lodge bill, which is not
intended to apply to every part of the
country? This bill-and no other
character of bill OF that subject has
ever been proposed in Congress
drawn expressly so as to apply only in
particular localities, and there only in
case few persons are willing tC
make oath that they do not believe a
fair election can be held under the
laws of the state. This is matter
of very great importance-a vital mat
ter, indeed. According to Senator
Ingalls,, an election campaign is a
mere battle of supremacy i'll which
parties are the armies, and, as i'll war,
it is lawful to deceive, to employ mer-
cenaries, to hire Hessians, to do any
thing. no matter what, which will aid
in the achievement of party success.
If the Republican party does seriously
propose to repudiate the Senator $
doctrine aud establish an elective sys-
tenn which will purify politics, why
not say SO openly and clearly so that
the people may understand that an
honest purpose is entertained and that
they are net 20 be fpasteI on nothing
better or mCra tau gil lie thin al ir-
rides .ent dream. Mr.. ingalls, says.
This modern cant ;lb ut the corrup-
ton Of politics is fatig,'ing in the ex-
trenfe. He does not believe that
modern political methods-deception
fraud, hiring mercenaries. intimida-
tiOn, force. oyerreaching i'll any man,
ner-are corrupt or in any respect to
be condemned. What is said in objec-
ton by persnns whn do not approve
such practices, the Senator designates
''modern can't" and he says it is
''fatiguing in the extreme" Mr. In
gals is regarded as good authority on
such matters. and especially on so
much of them as is involved in the
'ssOuihern question:" and its estimate
of existing conditions is given in the
foregoing extracts from his utterances
widely circulated: but if his estimate
is not TO be relied upon by his party
then let it re sn understood, set aside
the Lodge hill and all bills drawn on
that line. and let us have national
election which is not only applicable
in every part of the country, but one
that will be applied in all parts of the
country in the same manrer. and that

Siam is the land of cremation. Ii
costs more money to die there than to
live, and the funerals of Congressman,
which are paid for at extravagant rates
by the Government, cost but little in
comparison with that of a Siamese
noble. When King dies in Siam the
whole nation takes part in the funeral,
and $1,000, 600 and upward is some
times spent in the turning of the royal
embalmed body into ashes. The last
Queen who died at Bangkok was seated
in golden urn for a number of months
after her death, and the foreign mer-
chants in Siam bought thousands of dol
lars worth of goods from Europe and
China for the King to give as presents to
those who came to the funeral. A great
temple or palace with roofs covered with
gilt paper was built as her bier, and the
funeral car was overlaid with pure gold
and set with jewels. The car was six
stories high and it was surrounded by
tiers of golden umbrellas. All the for
eign diplomates attended the burning,
and there was tiger fight, lion dance,
and tournament among the celebrations.
The King lighted the fire at six p. NJ. and
he gave presents of gold and silver as
well as a dinner to the most noted Of the
mourners. 1t took full week to per-
form the ceremonies, and at the close the
ashes were taken in Il royal barge and
strewn upon the waters of the Menam
River.
Every man in Siam has as good
burning as his purse will buy. but few
are able to undertake the expense of
building palace in which to be burned
The average cremation takes place on a
pile OF wood laid crossways, and after it
is over the bones are gathered up and
tied up in rag to be kept as relics.
The most horrible of funerals are those of
the very poor of Bangkok. The bodies
of these are taken to temple known as
the Wat Sab Kate. Imagine an inclos-
ure of many acres, filled with bushes and
whispering palms, at the feet of which
are piles of collins, and along the roots
of which skulls are lying. Enter this
garden path If you dare, There are no
men to stop you, and you wander in and
out through the trees, snarled at by lean,
hungry-looking dogs, until at last
you come to a number of low brick
buildings. Here you will meet lean,
toothless, parchment-skinned old hag
who has hair as white and stiff as the
bristles of n Chester white pig, and who
smiles at you through her toothess
gums, and with long, withered fingers
beckons you in. Vultures by the hun
dred sit upon the trees over her, and as
you go in you hear the snarling of dogs
You look toward them, they are lighting
over the half-eaten hodies of men, and,
the vultures swooping down, flap their
wings and attempt to seize part of the
prey. Beside the bloody corpses are a
mass of half-dried skulls and the odd
legs and arms Of the day before, and the
old woman laughs through her toothless
gums as she points you to them. Some
of the Buddhists believe that their
chance of nirvana, or heaven, is better
in case they give their bodies to the vul-
lures, and some of these bodies have
been dedicated in this way. Others are
those of very poor people, who can not
afford the cost of cremation. .--HeJYclg

WISE WORDS.

lie who has neither friend nor enemy
is without talents, powers, or energy.
1t is better to sacrifice ones love of
sarcasm than TO indulge it at the expense
Of a friend.
A beautiful woman pleases the eye, a
good woman pleases the heart; one is a
jewel, the other treasure.
1t is always a sign of poverty Of mind
where men are ever aiming to appear
great, for they who are really never
seems to know it.
Sometimes it is hard to tell whether a
man is firm in principle or simply obsti-
nate; but the man himself never ex-
presses any doubt.
When we are most filed with heavenly
love, and only then, are we best fitted to
bear with human intirmity, to live above
it and forget its burden.
The art of putting the right men in
the right places is first in the science of
government; but that of finding places
for the discontented is the most diff
cult.
Laziness grows on people; it begins in
cobwebs and ends in iron chains. The
more business a man has to do the more
he is able to accomplish, for he learns to
economizc his time.
