THE OLD DAYS IN ROME.
During the Carnival in the COrso 1t Was
the Duty of Everybody to Be Gay.

During the Carnival in the Corso 1t Was
the Duty of Everybody to Be Gay.
In the good old times-and by the good
old times we al of US mean the days that
are past and are no more, the days OF our
youth, which we remember with sad
pleasure, and the joys of which we exag-
&, ate, perhaps, while the pains we forget
the carnival in the Corso, which, alasl Is
now almost a thing of the past, was a
spectacle and an experience full of delight
On that week of saturnalia the old sights
and sounds, the old hubbub aud gayety
and license was renewed, every folly was
INDUCED in and careless gladness ami
mated the world Every window and bal
cony was draped with carpets, tapestries
aud flowers; gay faces looked out every
where and glad laughter filed the air.
There were masks and harlequins and
punchinelli and Incorporating and strange
costumes and singing and mock gallantry
and cries of joy on all sides.
1t was the duty Of every one to be gay.
The God Momus reigned. All the world
focked in from the country, and the old
dresses and costumes which in every town
in the vicinity OF Rome were then worn
daily, were to be seen. Now those COS
tunes have for the most part utterly dis
appeared, and are only to be seen now and
then, or on the persons OF the models who
pose for the artists. They were very gay.
very various, and it was pleasure to see
them. Now they have given way to the
commonplace and shabby dresses of today.
But in the old carnival they were every
where to be seen. Improvised balconies
and stagings were erected ali along the
Corso, and these were filed with country
girls in their costumes.
Up and down the street, in double files,
slowly and at snail's pace, throngs Of car
riages followed each other, filled with
flowers which the occupants scattered right
and left, laughing the while they pursued
their slow way through the dense crowds
that filed the streets. Flowers and con-
fetti showered upon them as they passed,
and there was a general hubbub Of joliity
and confusion and madness, as If old
Rome's descendants were still alive and
shouting in triumph.-W. w. Story in
Scribner.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

The last congress discussed immigra-
ton at length, and passed law regula-
ting and, to certain extent restricting
it. The Parish prison affair in New Or
leans contributed largely toward inten-
styling the popular feeling on the sub
ject, and it seemed probable that con-
gress, at the coming session, would
amend this law and make it still more
far-reaching. There seems to be little
chance Of that now. Public sentiment
on this subject has greatly lessened, and
the prejudice against immigration has
died away to a considerable extent. This
is well shown by the fact that Minnesota
and several of the far northern states are
sending agents to Germany to invite inn
migration. 1t will be a very extraor-
binary proceeding if, while these states
are inviting immigrants to come over
here, the United States at the same time
set up barriers to their admission.
Moreover, it is scarcely possible that
congress will pass law affecting immi-
grafton just on the eve Of a presidential
election, for the party that did so would
have every reason to fear that the act
might be used against them with the
foreign voters on election day. 1t is
safe, therefore, to prophesy that the i'm
migration question will not be acted on
by congress at the coming session, but
will go over 20 another.

THE WEATHER IN EASTERN KANSAS.

The published monthly reports of
Prof. Snow of the University of Kansas,
at Lawrence, are not mirror of the
weather conditions of Southwest Kansas,
either as to rain, frost, snow or wind.
The EAGLE has, however, generally pub
lished a summary of the professors re-
port. 1t seems from the report of Octo-
Der that there was snow in Northeastern
Kansas on the 10th. There was no such
thing in this section of the state. The
rainfall in this section of the state, and
especially south and west of this city,
has been much greater than in Eastern
Kansas for the two months past. The
professors report for October says:
Although the mean temperature of the
entire month was slightly below the
October normal, the mean for the last
half of the month Sixteen days. was
more than degrees higher than that of
the first half Fifteen days., and much
higher than that of any preceding second
half Of October on our twenty-four years
record except that of 1876. There was
no black frost during the month, and
unpicked apples hang uninJured on the
trees and foliage of Madeira vines and
other vegetation above ground remains
unframed in the Lawrence gardens.
The first snow of the season occurred on
the 6th-a few fakes only. This is more
than month earlier than the average
date. The rainfall was less than half the
average; the skies were 30 per cent.
clearer than usual, and the wind velocity
was 10 per cent. higher than the normal.

In assuming editorial management Of
the Chicago Times, which newspaper he
has purchased outright, Carter Harrison
announces that the paper will be Demo
cratic in politics and that he has 10 en-
emies TO punish nor friends to reward.
The latter announcement has business
sound, and as the venture is made as
business @ enterprise, purely, il. is sup
possible that Mr. Harrison viii adhere TO
the line Of policy announced in relation
to personalities; but If he does il viii
show a marvellous change Of heart on his
part Carter Harrison, at one time, was
apparently the most popular man in Chi
cago, but later events have shown that
no one there has more personal enemies.
Perhaps he hopes to consume them with
kindness.

The trial of James Brennan for the
murder of S. n. Wood will begin at
Hugoton today. It promises to be per-
haps the most noted criminal trial that
has ever occurred in the state. In view
of the situation in Stevens county, it is
doubted whether trial jury can be Sc
cured out of the 500 men in the county
eligible for jury service. In any event
the selection of a jury will be a tedious
process. And then it is expected that
almost every citizen of the county will
be called to the witnessed stand on one
side or the other.

Americans have so long been more or
less dependent upon the importation of
theatrical ideas from Europe that it is
refreshing to see the tables turned for
once. Mr. Augustin Daily Is about to

comedy company a permanent home
across the water. Thus are we again
reminded that the really great successes
on the London stage in recent years have

AN IMPORTANT INSURANCE DE-
CTSION.

Judge Thayer of the United States dis
trict court, sitting in St. Louis. has lust
decided a case in favor of the New York
Life Insurance company. A Mrs. Vail,
who was killed by her husband accident
ally or on purpose (the courts have not
yet decided, had insured her life in that
company for $1,000 for the benefit of her
children. Although just about to be-
come mother when she was killed, she
died childless. The Judge said:
IF Mrs. Vail had contemplated the
possibility of death before she had given
birth 10 any children some provision
would probably have been inserted in
the policy touching the disposition of the
insurance money in that event. What
sucn provision would have been it is i'm
possible 10 say, and it is useless to in
dulge in speculation on that subject. as

proposition. Il was also held that Mrs.

WORKS MEET FOR REPENTANCE.

The memorable and truthful declara-
ton of the immortal Lincoln that
"You may fool all of the people part
of the time, and part of the people
all of the time, but you can't fool
all of the people all of the time"
has been very clearly and forcefully il
Illustrated in the result of yesterdays
election. The demagogues last year in
duced good many people to believe that
under Republican rule this state had
gone to the demnition bow-wows, but
they have learned since that time that
the distress the country had experienced
for a season was the result of chain of
adverse circumstances that politics had
little or nothing to do with, and that be-
ing the case, large numbers of people
who had been led off by the whines of
the deceivers, finding that they were
helping to make real what had been
largely imaginary, determined to make
good the injury they had done by voting
the Republican ticket. 1t is safe to say
that these will never be guilty of their
former folly again.

All Wrong.

The Alliance crusade against the mer-
chants is all wrong. No other class of
men In Kansas have suffered SO much by
hard times as the storekeepers. There
have been five failures among the mer-
chants to one among the farmers. The
farmer needs the country merchant and
the merchant needs the support of
farmer. They are mutually benefited
by the most cordial relations, and it will
be q sorry day for the farmers of Kansas
when the little stores are closed and the
storekeepers forced back upon the farms.
