THE KING OF THE POLITICIAN.

Germany is in position to see the
popular reverence for the king and the
popular power of demagogue, in the
best sense, come to measure swords.
William, borne up and fortified with ali
the bellipotent powers of titular tradi-
ton, and Bismarck, a self-made man,
from the common people, and a hero of
his own worth, and owing little to birth,
will meet in an arena, not common, but
yet not entirely hidden from the eyes of
the public.
The conflict will be interesting. Bis
marck Is still strong and what he says
will carry flood of confidence from the
Germany people with him. Young
William is impulsive, determined and
wide-awake, and the love of the king
secures him following. Bismarck has
not approached nearer dotage than Will
lam has left behind the verdancy of
youth and inexperience, so the match is
not a bad one. William has his point to
carry. He must demonstrate his declar-
alton that he is master of his country.
Bismarck has the reputation Of his
to sustain, and at the same
time return statesman'S tat for the
kingly tit. The sprightly William may
learn that a man must be master of the
people to be master of the country.

mccullough Echoes.

Joseph Haworth In private life is a
student. When away from the theater
HawoIth spends all his spare time IN
completing the life of John Mccullough.
Haworth has an autograph letter from
Mccullough which money could not buy.
1t was written several days previous to
the death OF the tragedian. 1t was
probably the last letter written by Nc
Cullough, in view of the fact that for
months previous to death his brain was
shattered. 1--WE viii climb the ladder

round
Mccullough had valet named Bob
Pritchard. who was a curious fellow"
said Haworth, recently. He was
thrifty Scotchman, and to save money
he always made his bed in McCullough's
dressing-room in the theater. Once John
missed a handsome robe which he wore
in Richsrd Ill 1t couldn't be found.
Finally, several months later, when
playing in New York, two little Pritch-
ards came to the theater. and the dresses
which they were were cut from Nc
Cullough's handsome robe.
''Pritchard expressed his sympathy
curiously the day the guv'nor was
buried.

| life, having resided for some years in a
community which was distinguished for
| observance o. prritanical proprieties,
entered a car of Santa Fe excursion
train at Kansas City, on an excursion to
Pueblo and return-an excursion given
in celebration of the completion of the
Santa Fe road to the latter place. On
the way out, at Newton, a crowd from
Wichita entered the car, bringing with
them ten gallon demijohn of whisky
which furnished inspiration for much
hilarity, and voluble profanity uttered
with such ease and unconscious effort
that it acquainted this young man with
one characteristic of life on the frontier.
This trip was prolonged several days by
the trains getting snow bound. This trip
gave him his first and an unfavorable
impression of Wichita. This was in the
days when the cowboy, the dance hall
and the saloon fiourished in Wichita.
In August, 1886, this young man, now
not a ''tenderfoot," after seven years
residence near the summit of the Rocky
mountains, III the cool canons, near the
headwaters of the Arkansas river, in
sight of perpetual snow, descended into
the broiling, malarial atmosphere of
Kansas City, seeking new location. A
few days stay at Kansas City con-
WINGED him that he would not want to
reside in that climate, after having
breathed, for SO many years, the pure
mountain air of Colorado.
A friend, who had been in the "Win-
ming Wonder Of the West" had advised
him to take look at Wichita; and act
ing promptly on this advise, a days
ride across the beautiful Kansas prairie
took him up into the pure atmosphere
of an altitude of 1,400 feet, and
landed him, at night, in Wichita.
Riding from the depot to the
hotel in the bright moonlight, along
smooth, level streets, beautifully arched
by the overhanging boughs of numerous
trees, he got his first favorable impress
sion Of Wichita. a few hours stroll the
following morning about the city intensi-
fled the favorable impression of the pre-
vious night, and resulted in the decision |
to make Wichita an abiding place-a de-
clsion never since regretted.
Looking up into the depths of our pure
blue sky, walking in this golden. genial,
sunshine, breathing this pure.
healthful atmosphere, looking over these
broad undulating prairies, radiant and
green, and down these beautiful fertile
valleys. Is it strange that we all love
Kansas? Is it at all wonderful that we /

PECULIAR LEGISLATION.

A committee Of the New York state
senate, which has been investigating the
| conduct Of the sugar trust, has just sub
mitted long report in which, a ter 60
ing into the history of the trust to some
extent, it suggests. in a general way, the
enactment Of legislation 10 restrain the
formation of trusts. One conclusion ar
rived at by the committee is that the
trust was formed more for the purpose
Of speculation than for the advantages to
be derived from the combination of re
finerie5 in the legitimate refining of
sugar. Another is that the new sugar
corporation formed in New Jersey was
organized there III order to escape the
rigorS of New York laws, particularly in
relation to taxation, the issue of stock
and the holding of the stock of other
companies.
The report presents some curious
recommendations. After directing at
tention to the fact that the trust
organization has been declared il
legal by the courts of the state,
it recommends legislation restrain
ing the formation of trusts as they are
now formed, which would seem to be
unnecessary if they are already illegal
without legislation. As an alternative,
they suggest legislation permitting the
formation of trusts under the supervis-
ion of some existing department of the
state government, or some board to be
created by law. The Interpretation of
this last feature Is that the proposed leg
islation is prompted by the fact that the
great sugar trust evades taxation in New
York by being chartered under the laws
of New Jersey; whereas, if it We're
New York concern and paid taxes to the
state no changes in existing laws would
be deemed necessary, or at least expedi-
ent. Verify, it seems next to impossible
to secure legislation that will deprive
aggregated capital of the special privi-
legeS it uniformly eniovs.

Russia is generally looked upon and

gions rich in minerals and agricultural
productions. The fact Is, Russia is bv
far the greatest country, in extent and
resources If not in population and devel-
oped wealth, on earth, and if her social
conditions were such as to encourage
and develop the moral stamina and nat

its element Of weakness, comparatively
