missioners could find but very few
needy persons. Now the truth is,
the appropriation is only 100000,
and also it is in the nature of a
loan, as the counties will be requir-
ed to pay back the amount accepted.
AS to the "foolishness," was it
foolishness to enable settlers in
eastern Kansas to remain during the
years of drouths and grasshoppers
If not, neither is it foolish to help
the settlers of western Kansas, and
who can so efficiently render aid, as
the state. Now as to the report of
the railroad commissioners either
they have misrepresented, or the
western members of the Legislature,
without regard to politics, have
misrepresented the condition of the
western settlers. We prefer to be-
lieve that it is the railroad commits
sioners. Now as to the Plaindeal-
er's culpability in this matter, we
have to say, that it's fault lies in
baying when the big dog bays,
without knowing what it is baying
at. If Republican leaders from
Harrison down to the whangdoodle
editor of a village sheet, are to be
believed, the people all have plenty
when starving to death.

What q Republican Says.

Ex-senator John B. Henderson,
of St. Louis, who was the perna-
nent chairman of the Republican
national convention Of 1884 and has
lately been prominent as one of
Blaine's Pan-Americans, recently
said: GAS a Republican l think
the extravaganza Of the congress
just adjourned was an outrage upon
the party and the people. Howev-
err the appropriations may be justi-
fed, the fact that they reach one
billion dollars is of itself appalling.
No such enormity of appropriations
has been voted since the war, and
occurring in q time of profound
peace as this is, and when the great
est economy was demanded, no ex-
cuse can be offered for this extrava-
gance. The Republicans in con-
gress must have proceeded upon the
theory that they were not coming
into power again for about 400
years. Their closing days remind
ed me very forcibly of the closing
days of the Democratic congress
which went out March 4, 1861. AS
a Republican, l feet that the COM
parison is odious, but in most
respects it is just. l hope that if
we have another Republican con-
gress soon it will devote itself to
methods of economy different from
those observed by the Fifty-first
congress-" No Democrat has said
anything stouter than this.-New
York Times.
Yes stree, the woods are getting
full of Republicans that are saying
stout things; and in 1872 they will
neither vote the Republican or Dem
ocratic ticket. These are facts you
need not forget, but keep 'em before
the people.

Helping the Needy.

The Plaindealer never talks with

fore the following is given our
readers as sample:
The foolishness Of making large
appropriations with which to pur-
chase seed for farmers of western
Kansas is now apparent.
We have not space to copy the
whole article, hut the editor goes
on to say that the Legislature appro-
priated large sum of money and
placed it in the hands of railroad
commissioners to be by them dis
persed to needy farmers of western
Kansas, and that the railroad COM

The love, tenderness, justice and
purity of Jesus have been factors in
human affairs for nineteen centuries,
and their force is not abated, and
the lowly Gallilean is known by
more people, and more highly es-
teemed, than any man of modern or
ancient times. Washington and
Jefferson builded for the oppressed
of all nations, and for a hundred
years the hopes of the lowly, the
toilers of Europe and Asia, and even
Africa, have conferred upon America.
Lincoln and Grant counted their
lives as naught in the great struggle
for universal freedom, and yet while
the world may be better, the ideal
is not reached. From Moses to
Lincoln is one vast battlefield, over
which the forces of good and evil
have waged an interminable war.
The arks that have been launched
since that of Noah, have often sailed
upon the flood of time with but few
passengers, and that few was de-
rided as was Noah. Jesus weeping
over the chief city of his native
land, is a figure of his weeping over
fallen race. Every nation has had
its weeping citizens. Jesus wept
over Jerusalem. Socrates must
have wept over Athens, and Cato
over Rome. Has all that has been
done for the human race been in
vain? The writer is in doubt. The
ED ship of state is sailing in dan
gerous waters. The builders of new
vessels are derided as cranKs and
fools. The hopes of the toiling mil
lions may GO out in gloom, and the
years may not be far away when the
citizen who loves America will weep
over fallen nation.

IT is just as much the duty of the
government to provide a sufficiency
of money to protect the interests of
the people by giving them facilities
for traffic and commerce as it is to
furnish police protection. That
protection of government which
does not afford the citizen immunity
from perjury and want, when he
tolls and earns a competency, is a
fraud, a swindle and an imposition.
The money obtained from him by
taxation is secured under false pre-
tense, the duties discharged by him
under his fealty and allegiance to it
are obtained by fraud. Let the
government be made to discharge
it's true functions and it's honest
purposes and all the troubles which
beset the people will vanish. The
people are the government. 1t is
in their power to knock the scales
from their eyes, to demand and Sc
cure satisfaction and fulfillment of
their Observation-Disclosures Herald.

The tropical garden of the Redondo
hotel was spoken of by visitors last win

the finest collection in this part of the
state. 1t was indeed beautiful place
but this year it promises to be much
handsomer, as most OF the plants have
attained larger growth, and many new
ones have been planted. There are sew
eral Abyssinian banana trees that are
magnificent specimens and their growth
has been remarkably rapid. The ce-
nlent walls will soon be covered with
trailing vines where hundreds of lin
nets build their nests and fill the air
with melodious song.

Demand for Heavy Engines.

AT no time in history of railroads have
the efforts to improve the work of engines
received more attention than at the pres
ent. Mechanics are attempting to de-
ternine the most perfect combinations
of speed and strength, and at the same
time economize in the use of fuel Each
year the standard of locomotives in this
country is raised higher, and the engines
of the present time are great improve
ment on those ofveven ten years ago.
Some master mechanics are of the
opinion that the aviestilocomotiye now
built is as heavy as it is practicable to
build one, while others predict that still
heavier passenger and freight engines
will be built and the roadbeds of the
country so improved as to admit of high
speed with safety, even if an engine
weighs one-third more than the ten
wheel passenger engines now in use.
What the future of mechanism will bring
forth to increase the speed and power of
engines is problem of interest to others
than mechanics.-NewY York Telegram.

A Hard Joke on a Bashful Couple.

A pretty girl from out of town had
been staying for some time with a young
lady friend in Buffalo, and as the time
for her departure drew nigh a young
man from out of town turned up and
volunteered to attend the young girl on
her homeward journey. The hostess put
up liberal lunch for the travellers, and
then filled in all the crevices with rice.
She also put some in the young man S
coat pockets, slid some into the young
lady's parasol, and likewise deposited
some in the depths of the young mans
umbrella. Both boarded the train with
out noticing these suggestive additions
to their traps.
The result is not yet known, but as
the young man is slightly bashful, and
the young lady is known to blush on
slight provocation, the consequences,
when the rice fell all over the car floor,
can be imagined. Buffalo Enquirer.

The Two Meridians.

The Geographical congress held in
Switzerland recommended the universal
adoption of the metric system and also
the Greenwich meridian for the reckon
ing Of longitude and time. 1t is doubt
ful if this will be done, however, by all
nations, for, although standard in
both cases would be beneficial to the
world at largo, France naturally desires
Paris time. and England would never
surrender her prime meridian and adopt
revolution in her system of measure
ments unless the new measure was ex-
amined and based upon intrinsic merit,

1t is not generally known that most
African explorers entering the continent
from Zanzibar have been compelled to
fit out chiefly with slaves hired from
their Zanzibar masters. A few weeks
ago the British Antislavery society
issued protest agaidst this practice and
called attention to the fact that the ex-
pedition which FL. II. Johnston had just
led into the country was made up of
slaves. The sultan of Zanzibar has now
issued a decree forbidding the enlisting
of slaves on these expeditions, There is,
accordingly, great scarcity of labor,
and explorers and the German East
Africa company cannot get all the men

A Good Day for Bears.

James E. Cliff, of this city, who is en-
joying vacation by hunting in the
vicinity of Canaan, Vt, met quite sur
prise Sunday. While walking along in
the woods in Pittsburg, N H., he sud-
denly became aware that three bears
were very near him and his gun was out
of order. Time was precious, however,
and fearing he would lose his chance he
fired, and fortunately captured the
largest of the three. A second and third
shot brought down the other two. He
sold the pelts of two of the animals for
twenty dollars, and as there was a
bounty of ten dollars on bears in that
state he made on the whole transaction
about fifty dollars. The third bear Mr..
Cliff will stuff and mount.-New Bed

Japanese curios. The little one is ten
months old. Her handsome costume
although of expensive European ma
terial, was made up in the Chinese con
ventional style for babies, that is, with
loose blouse and wide trousers.
Little Suey Mey was baptized on Sun
day in the Chinese Methodist mission by
the Rev. F. j. Masters, pastor of the
church of which Suey Mey's parents are
members. She has one sister, eight
years old, who was baptized some time
ago. The number of Chinese babies who
have been christened in a style similar to
white babies is surprisingly large.
Chinese mothers who have adopted the
Christian faith carry their babies to
church as early as possible, and Chinese
parents often take their children with
them to the communion table Just as
soon as the little ones are old enough to
be taught. They are beautifully dressed,
often in rich silks, and the infant class
in the Chinese Sunday school looks liter
ally like convention of oriental dolls

An Interesting Tennis Battle.
There is something superb about ths
loftiness of the average British army
officer when in the presence of ''civil-
ians." In the recent tennis tournament
for the championship of the maritime
provinces of Canada, Halifax sent the
flower of her majesty's officers to COM
pete for tennis laurels. The military
men poopoohed the idea that the ''civil-
ians' had of making fight worth talk
ing about with British redcoats. "Now,
If you had any military men here" said
one, sit might be different" They
stalked around with majestic army
stride before the tourney began. Then
two young men, hardly more than boys,
who had heard the talk about the "civil-
ians," frightened their belts and went for
the whole British army.
They defeated all her majesty's players
save two, the crack pair of Halifax,
and when their turn to meet came the
huniliated officers leaned back and
smiled once more in superior way.
Nov let these youngsters beat them, if
they can," they said. And the youngsters
did beat them. They played tennis that
made the officers shiver and thrashed
them beautifully The military men
couldn't explain it, but the boys could.
81 would rather have beaten those fell
lows than the best player in the world
said one of them, and the young "civil-
ian" shut his teeth, "and I'd like to do it
