Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-11-24

SENATOR PLUMB has changed his
mind again, and now says that the
speeches he made in 'SS and 80
were true. So, of course, in the
late campaign, he peddled lies about
the country in order to help his
party succeed in capturing the
Offices. The Senator seems to be
between the Devil and the deep
sea-"
The Courier, of Burlington, SAYS
the KANSAS AG1rAToR is cone of the
spiciest reform papers published in
the state" And we shall try to
make each succeeding issue spicier
than its predecessor. All we ask is
the cooperation of our people.

WE ARE threatened with a wholesal

We ARE threatened with wholesale
Eruption OF contraband Chinese from
Mexico. A dispatch from Saltilo says
that small army OF Cinnamon, who
have been thrown out OF employment
by the collapse of the Tehuantepec rail-
road are making their way in body OF
1900 towards the Texas border with the
intention of crossing over into the
United States. They are destitute, and
pillage the country through which they
pass. 1t would be curious commentary
upon our ability to enforce the restric-
ton act, if this horde of Mongolians
were to be permitted to violate it with
impunity and enter the United States
by force OF numbers. Here is a chance
for the administration to put the regular
troops to good use. 1t is humiliating
enough to know that the exclusion law
is constantly violated by small parties
of Chinese, who steal across the lines
from the Dominion and Mexico; but it
would be roaring farce upon the ability
of our government to maintain the law
if this new irruption in force were to
succeed.

THE Hon. Stephen M. White, one OF
the COUNCIL of the Chilean government
in the cases arising out OF the Itata and
Robert and Minnie incidents, makes
some very luminous remarks elsewhere
in our columns, which show the presi-
dents remarkable aptitude for blunder-
ing. Mr.. Harrison has misstated purely
technical facts, the details of which he
could have ascertained by little in
quiry from the federal officials IN Los
Angeles and San Diego, and this fur
nishes a strong presumption that he has
blundered in other details of the en-
broglio, the theater OF which was in our
sister republic. Mr.. White hints that
the portion of the Chilean correspond
ence quoted in the message has been
garbled, and we should not be whit
surprised if that should prove to be the
case. The statement published else

THE scene at the tug OF war last night
at Hazards pavilion was one Of uproari-
GUS interest. The Americans beat the
French team in the unprecedented, rec
ord-breaking time of sixteen and half
seconds. The Spanish, through their
gallant previous performances, had be-
come hot favorites, and were greeted on
their entrance last night with tumultu-
Gus applause. To the surprise of every
one they were beaten by the Irish team
in one minute and forty-seven seconds.
The unfortunate police team was knocked
out by the Germans in thirty-seven and
one-half minutes. Last night furnished
surprises all around. The American team
emerges with three victories, while the
highest score thus far made by any other
team is two.

OUR ELYSIAN PARK.

It was under the administration of
Hon. E. F. Spence as mayor of Los An
geles city, and largely through his intiu-
ence, that more than 400 acres OF updu-
lating hills and valleys north of the
main business portion of the city were
dedicated as a city park. This is now
known as Elysian park. and is univer-
sally acknowledged by all who have seen
it, and who have travelled over the world
and examined the parks in other coun-
tries, to be the finest location and best
adapted for park of any they have ever
seen. Mr.. Spence has visited the differ
ent parks in the United States, as we'll
as those in Canada, Scotland Ireland,
England, France, and in fact all Europe ;
and being convinced, ,as he expresses him
of the Illustrated California, that Los
Angeles is destined to become, in the
near future. one of the greatest railroad
and educational centers on the CONT
aent, and city of magnificent proper
tions, he was prepared to see the i'm
mense value of this selected tract to the
City OF the Angels if turned into park.
1t is above the frost belt, and has the
most attractive views, looking out upon
the ocean and upon one of the most
productive valleys on the globe, capable
of supporting two million people, all
under the immediate vision. In this
park every tropical tree and plant
known to civilization may be grown
to perfection, and all that is
needed to make it thing OF
beauty that cannot be excelled in
the world is little enterprise and
money carefully and judiciously ex-
pended in improving it. No money
could be expended in any public way that
would do more to attract and fascinate
visitors from other countries than the
improvement of this park; and now, as
we are soon to have an electric road
running alongside of il, connecting it
with all parts of the city for one fare, 1t
behooyes the city council, the park COM
missioners and the property owners of
Los Angeles to lose no time in starting
the work of making it the most attrac-
tive and beautiful park possessed
by any city in the world. The
Golden Gate park in San Francisco is
being made at enormous expense
beautiful place Of rest and diversion for
the people of that city. But its location
does not possess one tithe OF the natural
advantages of the Elysian park. The
tract has mountains intersected with
valleys and broad mesas, through which
the most picturesque drives can be
built, and where the trained florist can
exercise his genius in producing the
most magnificent results of landscape
gardening OF which his art is capable.

There is one respect in which we de-
sire to drop any critical attitude in re-
gard to Mr.. Harrison's message, and
that is where he comes to speak OF the
Nicaragua canal. The HERALD agrees
with him entirely. In that respect this
journal feels as Daniel Webster did at q
celebrated banquet. He was called upon
to respond to. the toast OF the national
debt. This great but impecunious man
rammed his hand down in his vest
pocket, reaching for all the change that
might be therein, and remarked: "The
national debit ought to be paid. How
much is it? Twill pay it myself"
The HERALD is scarcely able to defray
the cost of the construction of the Nicar-
aqua canal; but, considering the inn
mense benefit it would be to the coun-
try at large and to the Pacific coast, we
heartily wish we were. On this point,
as the subject is carefully studied, we
have an abiding faith that all Americans
will in time be enthusiastic. A guaran-
teed government bond carrying 8 per
cent interest, in view of the incalculable
advantages to both the national power,
naval and military, and the individual
welfare of the people of the United
States, would have everything to recon-
mend it. At least it could be said of it
that it was in the interest OF the Monroe
doctrine and it would be one of the most
venial transgressions of the old line OF
constitutional interpretations as to the
powers of the government of the United
States,

ADJUSTMENTS.

Tonight Mr.. John L. Sullivan will APP
pear in a comedy role in new play
entitled Broderick Agra, at the Los An

fully rehearsed, and will serve to display
a number OF clever specialties. Mr..
Sullivan's reputation as an actor will
probably not be materially changed by
the new role he will assume; but one
thing can be said in his favor; that is
that he does the best he can, which is
more than can always be said of real
actors.

her particular line, she is undoubtedly
the best actress on the stage today.

Another rather unique affair worn by
the soldiers is what is called the Cali
fornia overshoes. They are nothing
more nor less than large piece of iute
tied over the foot and leg as far up as
the knee. This is great guard against
the snow and cold, and the soldiers pre-
fer it to any thing else they can find.
About the neck is worn handker-

among the cavalrymen, invariably jolts

originally tied in front.
In cold weather another handkerchief
is tied over the head and ears and tied
in a knot under the chin. The SLOUGH

to the band and then brought down
through holes on either side of the brim
and passed under the back of the head.

When fighting the Indians the SOL
diers pay but little attention to the
clothes they wear, and to the unexperi-
enced man Of the East private would
hardly be recognized as one of Uncle
Sans gallant army should he run across
him accidentally.
When the soldiers start out on an In
dian campaign the bright blue uniform
is usually discarded for a suit of brown
goods, very much like the cloth of which
overalis are made.
The regulation army cap is discarded,
and In its place grayish siauch hat Is
substituted, which is much easier on
the head, and protects the eyes from
the glare of the sun.
The soldiers take great pride in
their uniforms, and not only when
fighting, but when on long marches do
they don the brown suit which does not
show the dirt, and they wouldn't care
II it did.
It is impossible to keep blue uni
form looking half way decent. half a
days march being quite sufficient to
make it look as though it had been worn
for years.
The officers as we'll as the privates
wear the SLOUGH hat, and regiment out

Lyons velvet dresses are worn in
greater numbers this season than for
some time. To distribute the weight
OF the train and cause it to spread
gracefully, the inner side of the train is
covered with f1ounces-alternate houn-
ces of pinhed taffeta and of lace-which
extend from the edge of the train half
way up the length of the skirt; the tat
feta is of the color of the velvet, and the
lace black or white, according as the
velvet is light or dark. Velvet dresses
are but little trimmed, the beautiful
fabric itself being so satisfying. A lit
tie rich lace, point de Venise or point
d'Alencon, is at the neck and on the
sleeves, the lace enhancing the velvet, and
the velvet bringing out the fine texture
and beautiful pattern of the lace to the
utmost advantage. The heavy Lyons
embroidery is also used as lace would
be on velvet; this is made of white
silk outlined in colored silk of the same
color, but lighter shade than the vel
vet it is to be used on.-Harper's Bazaar.

BALLET BEFORE THE kHEDWE

Queer Experiences of an Italian Maestro
In the Land of Cleopatra.
Signor Marchetti is an Italian with
pronounced national characteristics and
a very limited knowledge of the En-
glish language. lie has been connected
with the ballet since childhood, and his
earliest experiences were as , dancer
in the children's ballets at La Scala In
Milan.
His career is especially noticeable
from the fact of his having for a num-
Der of years had charge of the ballet
of the Imperial Theater at Cairo,
Egypt, during the administration of Is
mail Pasha.
"What induced you, Signor Marchetti,
10 visit Egypt" the maestro was asked.

tan in Cairo subscribed the large sum

but because it endangers their old party
