be impossible for him to reach Mem

To Walk Round the World.
London Telegraph.

London Telegraph.
Round the world on foot, except
where a fast steamer will be needed to
bridge continents, is the programme
which a French citizen Of thirty-four
summers has just drawn up. He will
try to accomplish the feat within the
space of250 days, walking, at least in
Europe, twenty-four leagues per diem.
VI. Droz, the hero of this adventure, on
ouittiug Paris will turn his face in the
direction Of Moscow. Traversing Sibe-
ria, still on foot, he will take ship on
the shores of kamtschatka for San
Francisco, whence he will tramp to
New York. Crossing the Atlantic to
Havre, he will walk from that town to
Paris.
NJ. Droz was formerly non-commIs-
stoned officer in cavalry regiment.
He is of the middle height, 1.-the and
muscular He has already several Pc
destrian performances to his credit, but
that which he is about to undertake
throws everything Of this kind into the
shade. He reckons on walking four
teen hours out of twenty-four, keeping
the remainder of the day for rest and
refreshmeut.

Sixty Dollars an Hour for 900 Years.

In the course of a speech delivered
before the Young Mems Democratic
Club at Boston on Jefferson's birthday,
the Hon. Benton McMillin, of Tennes-
see, gave this compendious and in
structive sketch ofthe Billion Congress:
"Besides this Congress the extrava-
gance of all others sinks into insignifl-
canoe. A billion eight million spent IN
two years is its record. A sum so great
it has to be divided up and considered
in sections and by comparison to COM
prehend it. 1t is SIG a minute for all
the time since the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was signed. It is $50 for
every hour since the Saviour was born
into the world. You have all heard of
the prodigal son. His squandering
was nothing when compared to theirs.
IF he could rise from the tomb he would
blush because he had been outdone.
He would stand forth as parsimonious
as .ShWock when compared to these.
And I apologize to the shade Of that
poor squanderer for doing him the in
justice to compare him to this Con-
gress. He squandered only his own in
heritance, not that Of others. Besides,
he repented, while they never did,"

COLLEGE TOMFOOLERY.
4 Freshman Likely to Die of Injuries Re
ceived in Flag Rush.

CINCINNATI, April 15.-There was a
grand flag rush at the university yester-
day. On last Saturday the freshmen
got the keys of the building and hoist
ed their flag on the flagstaff on the roof.
An hour afterward John Hayden, a
sophomore, climbed up a lightning rod
100 feet, thence across the roof, captur-
ed the flag, and descended to the
ground in safety. Yesterday the sopho-
more went out on the campus to per-
form the usual funeral ceremonies and
burn the flag. They had scarcely fired
the flag when they we're attacked by
fifteen freshmen in a general fight.
For two hours the battle waged.
Finally the freshmen retreated with
the half-destroyed flag. Bruises,
scratches, black eyes, &C., were ex-
changed without number, but there
was only one serious casualty. J. f.
Marcuson, freshman, aged l5, had his
right leg broken and three ribs Of his
side crushed in, and it is feared that he
cannot recover.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Senator Edmunds Thinks the Next Presj
dent Will be Elected by the House.

WAsHINGToN, April 6.-The Star
this afternoon prints an interview with
Senator Edmunds on the present state
of affairs.
as not the present political sltua-
ton one of extraordinary interest and
Importance" the reporter asked.
YES" replied the Senator, after
moments thought, II think it is in
one sense as applied to one aspect of
affairs, namely, the Farmers Alliance
subject. In other respects do not see
that it is essentially different to what
it has been for several years. In re-
spect to the Farmers Alliance matter
it is in its present form a new expert
ment in this country, but not an un-
natural one. There have been analo-
gous foments in former times; but the
present condition makes the political
situation in this respect interesting and
important, for what its effect will be
upon the next national election, I take
it, no one can forcsee with precision"
What dangers to both parties and
to the country are there in the situa-
tiOn"!'
"I don't think there is any danger to
the Democratic party" the Senator re-
piled, with faint smile, "for in the
next Presidential election, if the Farm
ers' Alliance should carry many States
without having a majority Of the Elec-
toral College, the simple result would
be that there would be no election by
the people, and the present House of
Representatives, having very large
Democratic majority of States as we'll
as members, would elect the Demo-
cratic candidate in q constitutional and
regular way, although he may have
carried the smallest number Of States.
As to the danger of the Republican
party, it is that the Farmers Alliance
may carry the next Presidential election
in some States that would otherwise
vote for the Republican candidate, and
thus, in effect, ifthere should by 10 elec-
ton be the people, give the election to
the Democratic candidate by the House
of Representatives"
GRESHAM AS THE ALLIANCE CANDI-
DATE.
TOPEKA, April l3.-S. W. Chase,

said:

lance men in Kansas is gradually CEN
Ting upon him as their candidate, and
the opinion is becoming general that
he is the most available man. He IS

INGALLS, TURNS FARMER.
Cultivating Farm and Presidential AS
pirations.
| Kansas City Special.l

Since his retirement from public
office, Ex-senator John J. Ingalls, has
developed into a full-fedged farmer.
He owns a thirty-acre tract of land
south of his residence in Atchison,
Kansas, and, as soon as spring weather
permitted, he began turning it into a
large truck farm. At present he is en-
gagged in planting potatoes. He does
not shovel dirt or do other disagreeable
things. He has two stout colored men
to perform the manual labor, and he
stands on convenient boards and strict
ly supervises the work. He spends
several hours each day on his farm,
and seems greatly infatuated with it.
He walks about the place attired in a
light: suit. of clothes and e gray over
coat of forgotten vintage. He also
wears blood-red necktie and carries a
cane. He seldom visits Atchison's
business streets, but when he does be
drives down in a farmers spring
wagon, transacts his business and goes
back home. He refuses to talk politics
to any one, saying always that the
burning question of the day is potatoes.
MY plans" be says, 'for the future
are to make money by farming"
Mr.. ingalls, owns fine piece of tim
bered land, 500 acres in extent, south OF
Atchison. He has contracted to have
most of the timber cut, and this sum-
mer he is going to attend all the fine
sales and purchase good animals for a
high class stock farm. It is hinted
that he will soon write a book on the
subject.

son has undertaken, if he travels, has
he ought to travel, on an Independent
and self-respecting basis; but it would
be still costlier for q man in his station
to accept expensive favors from corpora
tions which manage to secure, sooner
or later, and in one shape or another,
valuable consideration for ''couTtesles'
extended to distinguished travellers.
We assume that the Presidents paying
his way, and we hope he will get his
moneys worth.
What would Gen. Benjamin Harri-
sons grandfather have said, if that
simple and pious patriot could have
looked out of his log cabin door as the
Atzalan, the Coronado, theNew Zea-
land, the Ideal, and the Vacuna rolled
by, with the grandson at the tail Of the
observation car making observations
for 1892?
Fortunately, we know exactly what
William Henry Harrison would have
said. His sentiments are recorded in a
document which we hope hasa place IN
the library of the car Atzalan, for peru
sal during the journey: IA source Of
evil is the eligibility of the same indivi-
dual to second term of the Presidency
The sagacious mind of Mr.. Jefferson
early saw and lamented this error, and
attempts have been made, hitherto
without success, to apply the amenda-
tory power the States to its correction.
AS, however, one mode of correction
is in the power of every President, and,
consequently, in mine, it would be use
less, and perhaps invidious, to enume-
rate the evils of which, in the opinion
of many of our fellow citizens, this
error of the sages!who framed the Con-
stitution may have been the source, and
the bitter fruits which We are still to
gather from it if it continues to disf-
cure our system. Republics can COM
nit no greater error than to adopt or
continue any feature in their systems
of government which may be calculat-
ed to create or increase the love Of pow
er in the bosoms of those to whom ne
cessity obliges them to commit the
management of their affairs. And sure
ly nothing is more likely to produce
such state of mind than the long con-
tinuance of an office Of high trust.
Nothing can be more corrupting, moth
ing more destructive of those noble feel
ings which belong to the character Of a
devoted republican patriot. When this
corrupting passion once takes possess
sion of the human mind, like the love
of gold, it becomes Unsuitable. It is the
never-dying worm in his bosom, grows
with his growth, and strengthens with
the declining years of its victim.'
These words were uttered by the
Presidents grandfather just fifty years
ago and only one month before he
started from the WhiteHouse on his last
great journey. They are as true now
as they were half century ago, and it
would be the part of wisdom and pa
triotism for President Harrison to pom
der them as he rolls along through the
country OH his $4,000 expedition in
company with the never-dying worm.
