Australian National Autonomy.


1t really seems pity that the rapidly
developing prospects for establishing an
Independent government in Australia
should all be allowed to go for naught.
or indefinitely retarded by the petty jeaI.
ousies of ambitious politicians and the local
pride of the various cities and sections of
the colony.
No doubt such jealousies are carefully
fomented and nurtured by the
willy and subtle government agents
of England Having the politicians
of Australia strange their own
prospective autonomy and independence
with their own foolishly narrow preju dices
and selfish purposes is far easier and less ex-
pensive than sending warships out there to
keep the colony in subsection. Australia is
rather out of convenient range, and con-
flict with the colony would entail upon the
British government incalculable trouble
and expense
So long as each distinct section of Austria
lilo persists in regarding itself the most i'm
portant OF them all, and therefore entitled
to a paramount influence in any crganiza-
ton of government, just 80 long will any
government of virtually independent and
equitable character be impossible and sepa-
rate autonomy be delayed.
Dispatches from London state that none
of the colonies are yet ready to venture
upon the establishment of an independent
government But this information, origi-
mating IN London, can scarcely be expected
to prove of a wholly unbiased character.
Therefore it should be received and con-
sidered with a customary allowance for pos
sible prejudice.
Really there is no apparent reason why
Australia should not have government of
her own. Only the most infantile timldity
could deter her from venturing to try her
wings. At present England does nothing
for the country except stand off at a great
distance in the attitude of foster parent.
So far as pecuniary matters are concerned
it is very likely that Australia las done
much more for England than England ever
did for the colony. And there Is no reason
now why that great mining and wool
producing country should not be able to
take care of itself.

The Legend of a Duchess.
From the Galveston Ne,cs.

The Duchess sat by the latticed pane,
And watched the world as it pass below,
A Christmas world in its garb of snow;
And her look was full of fine disdain.
She counted her presents one by one;
The dukes great pearl with its ruby set,
The empress splendid coronet,
And hundred more ere the tale was done.
Yet her heart was full of minor strain;
She longed for the skies of a southern land,
For light and beauty on every hand,
And the Christmas bells of her native Spain.
She felt the breath of that warmer afr,
And saw the cathedral, old and gray
Where on festival days she was wont to pray,
With a lace mantilla upon her hair.
A CULVER crept to her naughty mouth,
Her breast heaved under the diamond clasp;
Though she had more than queen could ask,
She pinned mid the ice for the south! the south
At length there entered dainty page.
A casket he bore from some mighty lord
Which should have hidden a peri's hoard
OF treasures held from another age
She lifted the lid in a listless way,
Then her face was filled with sudden light,
For there lay the roses, red ami white
Which had blooned in Spain but the other day,
Fairer she seemed than ever before,
Dancing that night at the emperor's ball;
Z But as for her jewels. she scorned them all;
Her only gems were the flowers she wore.

Gov. Hoard on the Seashore.

ExGov. Hoard is one of the best story
tellers in the country, says the Chicago
Tribune. On the recent trip to Galena, when
the Grant monument was unveiled his fund of
stories seemed inexhaustible. One of them was
this:
II was down at little clambake in New
Jersey last summer, and after dinner was called
on to make a speech. / started off by saying
that had eaten SO many OF their low-neck
clans that wasn't in the best sort of condi-
ton to make speech. When I used the ex-
preston Iow-neck clans an old chap sitting
directly across the table from nae, whose face
was long enough to enable him to eat oats out
of churn, scowled at me. and chen said ia a
stage whisper: Little neck clans, little necks
not low necks' | paid no attention to the in
tsrruption. and finished my speech. When
dinner was over he trailed me out into the hall
and said: You are from Wisconsin, amt

TWO Stories of old.time Kansas.

Countless stories are told about Jim Lane and

clans of state Jim was bold and Chef was sly

great crowd gathered to hear him. He did
otlike Junction City. Looking over the beau
tiful stretch of prairie he began his speech in
very solemn tones, saying: God has done
to think so. God has done much for your
city, he said again, slowly and thoughtfully.
It was very still-the great crowd held its
breath, and Lane continued: God has done
much for your city-man very little" II was
five minutes before the audience quit yelling at
this. Such men as George W. Martin and John
Speer rolled over the ground in fit of laughter.

others.

Much More Retween theLine..

The old guide sat with his arms resting on his
knees, says the Detroit Free Press, his pipe
in his hand and his eyes gazing far away. He
cleared his throat, and in the stiffness of the
forest he related this brief story:

The Mania for Arsenic.

Arsenic has come into such common use
for all sorts of surprising purposes that the
people who use it SO freely are growing to
regard it as merely a HARMLESS variety of
white powder. Such a view of this very
dangerous drug has gradually increased
until it has become SO general that in
several states the board of health has found
the matter worthy Of the most serious con-
sideration, as it attains more and more the
proportions of very grave menace to the
public health.
Years ago arsenic was commonly re-
garded as one Of the most dangerous of
deadly poisons. Therefore it was very
carefully avoided. But with the growing
familiarity brought about by the venture
some experiments of recent years all of the
apprehension Of the deadly drug appears to
have passed away. Familiarity banishes
fear of almost anything, whether it be
really dangerous or not.
Solutions Of arsenic in various proportions
have lately been offered on the market for
all sorts Of purposes. It is put into the col
oring of wall paper and various fabrics with
which even young children are brought
into tho most intimate contact. As IL that
were not sufficiently bold defiance of the
fates fashionable people have lately fallen
into the habit of swallowing it as stimu-
liant and for all manner of imaginary by
gienic and other advantages to be secured
by its use. Ladies are particularly given
to this sort Of temerity. Although some of
the most eminent medical authorities have
frequently shown that no permanent bene-
fit can be derived from the use of arsenic
in this way many stiIl persist in expert
menting with it in the Elusive hope that it
may correct some trivial physical defect or
possibly somewhat enhance their beauty.
Aside from the remote prospect of crafty
ing their desires in that respect the remedy
is really worse than almost any disorder it
might be employed to correct.
In every state some sort Of law should
be devised requiring not only druggists
but physicians to so restrict the use of
arsenic as to prevent, as far as possible,
these needless people from importing their
lives aud destroying good constitutions in
tho vain and idle quest Of impossible attrac-
tons

Dealing With a naacit.


Paying pensions now appears to be the
chief end and aim of the fiscal department
Of the national government, and the very
best efforts of all the talent a republican ad-
ministration can command seems scarcely
| quite equal to the extraordinary exigencies
Of the case and the ever increasing strain
upon the almost wholly depleted finances Of
the nation.
Should the enormous and rapidly in
creasing list Of bslefciaries of this ad-
mirably arranged pension system be ulti-
mately so enlarged as to include every male
adult and surviving relative of such adult
who was in existence aud not superannuated
within the confines of those states which
saved the union"-except those who
actually fought, of course-ss now appears
quite likely. the whole revenue Of the gov
eminent will probably soon be required to
pay the pension roll; and the chances are
alsJ that all the employees from the 9th or
departments will be required TO aid in the
prompt distribution of this vast fund to the
clamorously impatient recipients.
Already the Secretary of the Treas
ury has found necessary a somewhat per-
emptory call upon the various national
banks designated as federal repositories
for the sum of 100000 to satisfy the
urgent immediate demands occasioned by a
yawning deficit for supplying the which
there were in sight mo available funds.n
Now is it truly "a condition and not
theory" that confronts u.s. Since the flip
pant remark of that facetious republican
was made TO the effect that they would
much "rather deal with a surplus than a
deficit" the high tariff party of prolific pen-
sions has toyed with an enormous surplus
and promptly disposed of it. They now
have the dreadful deficit to cope with. Be
side there is a very plainly perceptible in
crease in the net aggregate of the national
debt that the republican orators will proba-
bly, be frequently called upon to explain in
the forthcoming presidential campaign.
OF course all this stringency in the fed
eral finances does not amount to actual ma
tional bankruptcy, nor anything nearly ap-
preaching such disaster. But it shows that
the fiscal affairs Of the country have for a
term been entrusted to reckless and incom-
petent, if not otherwise untrustworthy,
hands, and should be rescued from the peril
that menaoes their naturally healthy condi-
ton as soon as possible.
Possibly the republicans may be really
glad TO let go since the spoils are about ex>
hausted and give democratic edministra-
ton chance to recoup the pecuniary prog
ress and prosperity of the country. AT all
events they are very likely TO get good
chance to see how this is done whether they
particularly desire it or not.
