THE self-gratulation the Democrats
over the great savings in the running
expenses of the State departments in
the first quarter, are iaughable to one
who knows about how they are run.
For instance, $1,000 is said to have been
saved in the item of clerk hire in the
Auditor Generals Office. Very natur.
ally so; but how long will it last, A
large number Of old, experienced Re.
publican clerks, who were drawing full
salaries, have been discharged and re-
placed by inexperienced ones. And
Gen. Stone has, doubtless, in accord.
ance with the usual custom, made the
new clerks begin on half, or two-thirds,
or three-fourths pay. But does any
one suppose this will last? In due time
they will, and should be, advanced to
full pay. 1t is not only small, but dis.
honest, for the Democracy to trumpet
this abroad as a great saving.

PARSELL's hopes were dashed to the
ground by his decisive defeat at Sligo,
and yet the stubborn ex-leader rises
above the catastrophe and defiantly
announces his belief in his ultimate
success. Parnell is back number and
should be content to be shelved. His
obduracy and petulance have well-nigh
shattered all of Ireland's brightest
prospects and alienated the sympathy
of her warmest friends. Inshmen
could condone his moral turpitude but
they can not close their eyes to his
political charlatary, and it will be a
bright day for Erin when the now dis
graced, dishonored and defeated leader
acknowledges his inglorious collapse.

SHALL KANSAS EXHIBIT?

The question of whether or not Kan
sas shall make a showing in theWorld' g
Fair exhibit in Chicago in 1893, and
how much the legislature should appro-
pirate for that purpose, is now being
discussed oil over the state. A bill has
been introduced to make an apprOpri-
alton Of SIS, 900.
In our opinion such a sum is niggard-
". Kansas, the finest agricultural
state in the world; with an enterpris-
ing and ttoroughgoing people; with
wonderful mineral resources, and a
name for push and enterprise already
known throughout the world, cannot
afford to be at the tail end of the state
hood in the grand exhibits that will be
made at the Worlds Fair.
The sum of 10000 would be small
one, and the appropriation should be,
in our opinion, not less than 500. 1000.
eKansas has a population of 1, 400, 600
people, and the expanding of $780, 900
for such an exhibition would cost us
but the One-fourteenth Of dollar per
capita. Can we not expend that much
for the purpose Of placing Kansas cred
fehbly before the fifty millions of people
ohio sill visit Chicago in 1898?
Write to your senators. your repre-
oontotives to be up and awake to the
Interests of our state, and ask them to
make IN appropriation that will fur

proudly point out, when you visit the

BOUNDARY MARKS.
The Exact Line Which Separates Our
Country from British North America.

The Exact Line Which Separates Our
Country from British North America.
Formerly great difficulties were eX-
perienced in locating the exact line
which separates our country from that
belonging to the kingdom Of Her Maj
esty, Victoria l.: now all that has been
overcome. According to the treaty of
Client, the British were allowed all the
land lying north of point 400 feet
south of the forty-ninth parallel, thence
| running west to the Pacific ocean. In
April, 1870, surveyors at work establish
ing an Indian reservation discovered
the fact that great error had been
made in the calculations Of the commits
sioners who had established the line
| 4, 700 feet south Of the forty-ninth
parallel which. if followed west as laid
| out. would take in the British fort at
Pembina. The surveyors communicate
ed this startling fact to the general
government, and the Secretary of State
| informed the British Minister. where
upon new BOUNDARY commission
was formed forthwith. Few of the A.
| OOO 900 of people in the United States
at that time knew that our country was
without northern boundary for two
| wears following April, 1870 but such
was the case. During the summer Of
the year last named Congress, by joint
resolution, appropriated 500, 900 for
| carrying on the work of establishing the
true boundary.
Bv the end Of 1872 the boundary COM
mission had done its work: stone cairns
earth mounds and wooden and iron pill
| lars had been set mp at intervals of
| from one TO eight miles apart from the
Lake Of the Woods to the Pacific Ocean.
! There are exactly So of these land
marks between the Lake of the Wood
and the base of the Rocky noun Ia ms.
The Red River Valley is marked only
| with iron posts. which are set at the
exact distance of one mile apart. All
| the iron-pillars used in the consumma-
ton OF this great work were cast at
Detroit, Mich. They are feet
| high, S inches across at the base
and 3 inches across at the top, cast hOl-
low They were made hollow so that
they could be set permanently by driv-
ing cedar posts through the hOllows.
Each post is inscribed with this legend:
CONVENTION OF LONDON, OCTOBER 20,
1s1s.'
When stone cairns were used they
were made feet high, feet square at
the bottom, tapering to SO feet at the
| top. The mounds of earth used as
marks were made Il feet square and I
feet high. How many of the mounds
cairns were built between the Rocky
mountains and the Pacific ocean, only
the commissioners know; suffice to say
that as long as stone, earth and iron
will last, the question of our northern
boundary is settled.-St. Louis Re-
public.
