capturlnR Blaine,s Thunder.


In hisspeech at Galveston the President said
that he was heartily in sympathy with the
reciprocity policy by which it is hoped that
this country will get control Of the trade OF
the Central and South American republics.
From the tone Of the Presidents remarks
one is at liberty 20 infer that be is the au-
thor Of the reciprocity policy. Not long
ago prominent republican leader was re-
ported as saying that the President was the
author Of it.
1t is worthy Of notice, however, that no
such claim was made for him until it be-
came evident that the reciprocity policy
was popular. When the Mckinley bill was
pending, and Mr.. Blaine insisted upon the
reciprocity provision, no one ventured to
assert that Mr.. Blaine expressed the wish
Of the President in the matter. Indeed, it
was understood that he rathsr helped Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Mckinley in opposing 1t.
But the President talks reciprocity now,
aud his remarks are applauded A day or
two ago it was stated in our dispatches that
he began his "swing around the circlen
with the firm intention Of not being a can
didGte for denomination if he found that
hr. Blaine was more popular than himself.
Of course there is no truth in that state
ment How could man with such fat
tering opinion Of himself as the President
has reach conclusion not complimentary
to himSelfg And, besides, how is the Presi-
dent 70 find out whether he or Mr.. Blaine is
the more popularl He is being warmly
welcomed at every stopping point as the
President, and he elicits applause by capt
uring Mr.. Blaines thunder-that is, by
claiming credit for policy of which Mr..
Blaine IS the author.
II is true that he does not say that he
originated the policy, but he does not give
Mr.. Blaine credit for it, and he speaks Of
it in a way that justiies one in believing
that there would not have been anything
like reciprocity IL it had not been for him.
1t can be safely said that he is not going
TO stand aside for Mr.. Blaine in 1892, unless
he has to. He is bidding for the nomina-
ton now, and he is going to get il he can
The President doesn't like Mr.. Blaine well
enough to permit him to have the nomina-
tion il he can help it.

Replying to inquiries concerning his Off
cial course Senator PETER, the Kansas alli-
anoeman is accused of declaiming thusly: II
do not expect to SIT alone among the mem
bers of the Senate with a chip on my
shoulders, suggesting that 4 am holier
than thou to every man happen to see, but
| do expect to be an active. earnest working
member Of that body, proposing as many
measures as possible along the line Of re-
forms which we advocate, and obtaining all
the help that is possible. | do not expect
to pay any attention to the politics Of nv
fellow members. What l mean by that is
that do not expect to do anything from
the standpoint of a partisan, either as
republican or as a democrat. l have grown
bigger than the party harness. am on
the outside altogether and expect to remain
there" According to these few remarks
the new senator regards himself as quite a
prominent citizen. All of this astounding
corpulence that makes him bigger than any
party harness has been acqu ired with
wonderful suddenness. In fact it doth
appear that the sudden statesman is so sur
surprised at his good luck and SO pleased
with himself that he likes to pat himself on
the back.

A MOman's WIT.

It was II o'clock at night, and was going to
my room in Florida hotel, says the Detroit
Free Press, when a woman came out of her
room. fully dressed and asked:

Are you sure ma 'amg' ! asked.
Entirely sure, sir. | smelled the smoke while
in bed You 60 quietly down and tell the clerk
and will knock on all the doors on the first
floor"
She was wonderfully cool and collected. and l
never thought Of doubling her assertion Going
down by the stairway becKOned the clerk aside
and told him Of the fire He went to the eleva-
tor with me and assembled to the third floor
where we found about twenty half-dressed
people in the halls The woman who had given
me orders came up aud said:
Come this way; | don't think the fire has
much of a start yet "
We followed her to her room and began to
sniff and snuff. There was certainly a strong
odor OF something burning, but the clesk had
taken only sniff when he went out and
raped on the next door.
"Hsllor' called a voice.
Are you smoking:'
Yes"
Smoking Florida tobacco?"
Yes; what OF it?'
Nothing. Ma'am, you can 90 back to bed
Much obliged to you for your sagscity and wit,

tobacco, and 1t always smells like fire eating

jJrity report was made, Of course, by tboss

Since congress adjourned many other
charges have bean made against tie CON-
IN ssionsr. T. Is asserted tlst & great deal
Il favorltisrn Is shown, ami that vas. sums
% the public money are wasted. The
charges are not Of & general character. Ths
ways 10 which money is wasted are pointed
out and c2ses are cited and yet nothing is
done 70 find out whether or not thu charges
are true.
The pension bureau distr bgts3 a great
deal more than $IOJ, 90, 900 annually, aad at
the head Of it there ought % b a man in
whom the public mas the most implicit con

money eau be wasted. and Il the utmost
vigilsn nee is not exercse1 it Is certain TO be
wasted
Naturally the commissioner doesn't want
70 offend any one who is al influential re-
publican. II is said that a simple request
from one who has influence in the Republi-
can party is sufficient 20 have man rein
stated on the pension rolls. A few days
ago q sample cass was published.
A man who had been receiving
a pension was dropped because
the examining physician said that be was
no longer suffering from disability Of any
kind When Gen. Harrison was inaugu-
rated this man was in Washington, and at
the request Of a friend the commissioner
restored him % the rolls without an exami-
nation. He had been of the rolls r seven
teen years, and be was paid back pension
for all these years Such abuses are suffi-
cient to bankrupt the country. And if re-
ports are 70 be credited there are thousands
of such abuses.
Leading newspapers Of both parties have
asked for Commissioner Raums removal,
but the President pays no attention to the
requests He does not care, apparently, how
much Of the public money Is squandsre1.
And all the tins the pension burden IS
becoming heavier. The President, in his
Swing around the circle, may tell the
people that he is deeply interested in hav-
ing the government honestly and economi-
cally administered, but they will not believe
him Ia the face OF such abuses as those
which exist in the pension bureau.

Kiowa is in Kansas. Kiowa is also one
OF the old~time cattle towns. At present
the citizens 70 a man are in open revolt
against the lady who, as mayoress Of the
city, now controls municipal affairs. XII
owa has heretofore always been a wet
town. But last Tuesday the handful of
prohlbitiOnists and the women got together
and elected, by ma 1ritv Of two, Mrs. DR..
Paxton mayOress Of the city. Directly
after installation the new executive dis
missed the former city marshal, put in a
new man, and ordered every one Of the
eleven saloons in the city closed tight and
all the billiard rooms shut up. These places
have been the main attractions Of the town.
Because Of its liberalty in these matters
Klowa has always been a favorite rendez-
vous for cattlemen, whose money has con-
tributed TO the welfare Of the merchants.
Saturday a meeting Of business men was
called and q committee dispatched TO inter
view the msyoress. But she would not
bulge from her high moral pedestal Her
husband was seen, but he could do nothing.
Apparently he has very little influence with
the administration. Another meeting was
held, and it was determined to defy the
orders Of the mayores5. and TO keep the
saloons open despite the city marshal. Just
what will be the outcome is hard to fore
tell, but the two factions in the town are
hourly becoming more warlike in their
attitudes. And they apparently have an
unlimited supply Of attitudes. Something
Is liable 70 happen mighty sudden.
