THE readers of the FREE PRESS will
observe in our Washington letter the
substance of some of Senator-elect
Pfeffer, Kansas, calamity utterances.
1t is mere wprming over of the cry
about the ruin of the Kansas agricul-
tural interests by money loaners and
corporations. Allowing that Kansas
has suffered equally with other West
ern states from the causes referred to-
we must still look further for the real
causes of her low ebb of prosperity,
and they are certainly discoverable.
That state has been no greater suf-
ferer from unjust monopoliStic oppreS-
sion and financial sharkism, than have
Minnesota Iowa, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, yet the agitatOr who will say that
Senator Pfeffer's description of the
condition Of Kansas lands applies to
these states must be doubly brazen-
faced individual. The one great rea-
son why Kansas has not met the same
degree Of prosperity found in the
states named, is the fact that she is
located in two close proximity to the
arid Rocky mountain district to re-
ceive sufficient moisture annually to
keep up her fertility, and the more
the soil is cultivated the more arid it
becOmeS,a land it is on such years as the
present only that they are blessed
with enough rain to render agricul-
ture highly profitable. The writer
had conversation with a gentle
man from Kansas recently who is in
line of business that enables him to
know whereof he speaks, and he de-
clares that large percentage of the
lands sold at sheriff's sale are tracts
which have become practically non
productive and have been abandoned
by the occupants, leaving the mort
gage to take it by process of law,
thereby loading him up with large
tracts which will sell at no price, and
is hardly worth the taxes. He says
that as large per cent of money
loaners have been financially ruined in
that state as of any other class, and
all due to the fact that there is not,
on the whole, sufficient moisture to
preserve the productiVeness of the
soil. Such argument may not accord
with current impression, but it is the
untarnished truth, and may as well
be told.

WHILE Robert g. Ingersoll is badly
off on orthodox religion, his political
creed is sufficiently sound to excuse
some of his Biblical sins. Here is
what he says about protection, which
is whole discourse in itself He
says: 81 believe in more protection
than even the Mckinley bill gives. A
nation that sells raw material will
grow ignorant and p0or-a nation
that raises raw material and sells the
manufactured article will grow intel
ligent and rich. | am in favor of
protection because it gives us diver
sity of industries. This develops the
brain and gives employment to all
kinds of talent. To raise raw materi-
al you need only muscle; to manufac-
ture it into useful and beautiful forms,
you need mind, art, genius"

AS painful example of the phanto-
nous nature of life of office holding
and pursuing speculative schemes, the
present condition of the late Treas
urer Bardsley, Of Philadelphia, can be
cited. He is in prison charged with
heavy defalcationS, and in the court
yesterday he made the following
statement:
'For twenty-five years | have been
in public life, twenty-three Of which
| was member of councils, devoting
the best years Of my life to public
work, neglecting my business so that
| made no profit. neglecting my fami-
ly by my mind and body being devot-
ed to public interests, working four
teen to eighteen hours almost every
day, taking neither time nor rest nor
enjoyment of any kind, working
nights as we'll as days in the interests
of the city, and during all these years
living in the most economical man
ner, because Of want of means, never
expanding on myself or family at any
time over $1,000 per year; denying
them almost all the comforts Of life
depriving them and myself of the or
binary pleasures of life because of my
want of money, and now, advanced in
years, with wife and family to sup
port, | am stripped of all my proper
| ty, my family penniless, thrown on
the charities of the world, my reputa-
tion destroyed and my body in prison,
and all for What?"
| This is but one case in thousands
which have led to the destruction of
linens financial and domestic welfare,
because of too much Office holding and
too much reaching out after wealth in
chunks. Perhaps all do not end SO
sorrowfully as Mr.. Bardsley, but the
analogy is complete. 1t should be a
warning to young men, that an indie
lpendent pursuit of some legitimate
calling, with slow but steady gains,
is mans happy lot, though it may
never raise him out of obscurity.

THERE are six condemned murder
ers in New York state awaiting death
by the new process, electrocution.

DoNNEL1Y has sent out circular
announcing that a meeting of his fol-
lowers will be held in ST. Paul July
It'll, to organize the Peoples party in
Minnesota. 1t would be well to ap-
prise the Sage that Forepaugh's cir
Gus will be in Mankato that day, and
that he mistakes the fun loving quail
ties of Jack Diamond, Eysander Cook
and others of the Essentials" in this
county if he supposes that they can
be induced to depart from home until
after the last circus train pulls out of
town in the evening. Donnelly will
either have to organize without Cook
and Diamond, or induce Forepaugh to
change his date here.

A LADY LION TAMER.

Col. Boone, who is now in this coun-
try exhibiting his hOrdes of perform
ing lions, which are performed free
and unmuZzeled in circus ring, is ac-
companied by female lion trainer-a
"liOn queen" as the show bills style
her. Her name is Mile Carlotta.
She is not over twenty years old, and
is said to be as brave as she is beau
full. She enters the inclOSure accom-
panied by her noble patrol dog Sax
on" and to see her in the arena sur
rounded by half a dozen thousand
pound, lordly lions, directing their
movements with as little apparent
concern as if they were lot of harm
less cats, makes the spectator shud-
der for an instant Col. Boone is au-
thority for the statement that wo-
men are better adapted to perform
ing with wild beasts, than men. Be
this as it may, we will not controvert
the remark made by lady, who, up
on hearing this statement of Col.
Boone's suggested that this was fact
and that only woman was capable
of subjugating the most intractable
of all animalS-man.
s Carlotta drives the lions harnessed
to chariots, feeds them from her
hand. makes them posture, dance,
leap, play see-Saw, ride tricycleS, and
many other equally astonishing acts.
This is one Of the famous features OF
the famous Forepaugh Show, which
is to exhibit here on Tuesday, July Z.

THE authorities of Mortified are

Army force. The people of that city
0bject to the Army's parading the
streets, and at lastaccounts the whole
force of Salvationists were in jail 1t
seems that some amicable arrange
ment could be made which would re-
ieve both parties of their present I'M
desirable attitude. There is one thing
certain, that persecution only makes
the Army more persistent, and a set
clement should be reached.

THE Republicans of New York are
8gitating the question as to whether
or not it is the better policy to hold
an early state convention, thereby
separating the general strife from To-
cal contests. Such a plan has certain
" worked aavantageously in Mime
sofa in the past, and it is the opinion
Of many men that it is more satisfac-
5ory than omnibus conventions, into
which all the petty local fights and
Tealousies enter. 1t is much to be
questioned whether the selection of
delegates to state conventions at the
same primaries at which local matters
are decided is the best course for the
party to pursue. New York, it seems,
has been working on the omnibus sys-
tenn but is now questioning its wis
ION.

PEOPLE who read about the boist-
grous proceedings in the Chamber of
Deputies of Rome last week, will
have some conception of the meaning
Of that old saying: made Rome
howl" 1t was during the discussion
of the country's foreign policy that
these scenes occurred. 1t seems that,
like most royalty ruled people they
have liberal party and radical fac
ton, and it was between these that
the conflict arose. Each side assum-
ed a belligerent attitude, and the
Chamber was a wild frenzical mass
for some time. The speaker could dc
Eothing with them, and adjourned

Worth and Felix of Paris. The sale Is
conducted under the supervision of
Mrs. Lizzie Abbott Clark, n sister of the
dead singer, and already quite num-
ber of the street costumes have been
sold.
A number of costumes are fac SMILES
of historic gown and are interesting
from that standpoint, as well as for
their intrinsic beauty. The firm has
devoted the entire upper floor 10 the
display and large number of ladies,
despite the inclement weather, were
making a careful examination Of the
showing TINS morning.
One of the most gorgeous of all the

discussed, particularly the clause pro-
yidlng for the condemnation Of
all property between the east
and west lines. Mayor Uhl adj
dressed the meeting stating the probable
effect on the city from such oondemna-
