The Ideal Climb

Abilene's most ambitious club has
ended its career. Tomorrow the furni-
ture and fixtures will be sold at auction
and the dozen members who out of
a half hundred or more stood by the
concern will pocket the proceeds and
heave a sigh of relief that the elephant
is off their hands.
Kansas had a boom in clubs about
three years ago. Every town OF any
pretentions had from one to half
dozen. Abilene's all died young with
the exception of that which passes in
its checks tomorrow. Nearly all the
other towns gave up the struggle long
ago. But when the fad was on it was
a general one. Even Solomon sup
ported a club for awhile. Kansas
young business men thought it smart
to Ego down to the club" even though
the club was nothing but room over a
store and contained only half dozen
eane-seated chairs and high
five table. Still many of the club
rooms were arranged elegantly and ex-
pensively and had there been enough
young men of wealth would have
proved pleasant lounging places for
that class. The mania died, however,
after experience had been dearly
bought.
KANSAS is not clubable state. Its
people have too much to do. The club
houses of the eastern cities are really
only select hotels for the gilded youth
of princely income and abundant spare
time. Out here on the prairies it re-
quires effort to leave tie business cares
which we sometimes take home with
US and go down town to spend time at
club room. At least it does for those
men whose presence is most desired at
such place. So the legitimate clubs
are ''winking outn and the name is
being prOstitated 70 cOYeT certain ques-

KANSAS AND WORLDS FAIR.

Call For a Convention So That the State
May Have an Exhibit.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 1S.-Kansas
will have an exhibit at the worlds fair,
notwithstanding the fact that the two
branches of the legislature so mixed up
politics with the bill appropriating S5O,-
600 for that purpose that the bill failed.
The failure of the legislature to make
the necessary provision for grand ex-
hibit created great deal of feeling and
aroused a sentiment in favor of the
Columbian exhibition, which could not
have been done by the most liberal ap-
preparation.
This morning A. w. Smith, president
of the state board of agriculture; Col
T. ]. Anderson, Judge Ben Simpson
and several others met for the purpose
of formulating a plan for concerted
action. After discussing the situation
it was decided that a convention should
be called to meet in Topeka some time
during the month of April, and Judge
Simpson was instructed to draft the
call, which will be signed by A. W.
Smith, the president of the state board
Of agriculture

What It Has Done.


The first lesson in alliance POI les
has ended in Kansas. What has lhe
movement accomplished?
It has superseded an ingalls, by a
PETER: a Peters by a sockless Simpson;
a Kellogg by an Ives; an Anderson oy
John DAVIS, etc.
It promised the mortgage ridden
farmer that it would aid him in his at
tempts to prevent the loss of his farm
by foreclosure; would secure for him
money at very low rates of interest;
would force the railroads to carry his
produce at very low rates and, in TACT,
would quickly lift him from the slough
of depression to the pinnacle OF aeun-
dant prosperity. Instead of this III has
made the farmers condition, so far as
these matters are concerned, Infinitely
worse than before the alliance entered
the field. Instead of aiding the farmer
in attempting to save his farm from
foreclosure, it has fastened this event
by alarming the mortgage holders and
making them unwilling to extend or
renew their loans. Instead of securing
for him more money at better rates, 1t
has made it almost impossible for him
to secure any money at all, and only
then at rates way beyond what he had
been paying before the alliance became
a factor in the situation. And so 1t
has been all the way through; instead
of bene(iting the farmer it has dam
aged him, and has injured and retarded
the development of the state to an
extent that will take ityears to recover
from.
1t promised to cut down salaries and
fees but did not do it. 1t promised
but then what is the use Of enumerat'
ing? The entire history of the move
ment may be summed up in the one
word-failure. The farmers of Kan
sas have not been benefited in the
least, They have simply allowed them
selves to be used as the tools of certain
worthless sap-heads like P. 2, Elder
Jerry Simpson, Sam Wood, John Will
Its, ct al, too lazy to work for theil
living. There is abundant evidence
that the farmers are getting weary Of
the game and that the dissolution o.
the movement will be as rapid as thu
| formation.

Sugar Going Down.

The close of this month, as fOretold
in the REFLECTOR some time ago. will
bring about change in The sugar mar
ket. Housekeepers who have been
paying large prices for sugar can have
the satisfaction Cf knowing that 1t will
take a tumble Of from two to four
cents per pound, and that they need
not be so spariDg iii serving it out
either at table, to the servants, or for
use in articles of food. On April LIST,
when the duty on raw sugars, about p
cents a pound, will be taken off. the
price of the refined article to consumers
will be dropped about two cents per
pound, and the people will enjoy the
cheapest sugar ever known in this
country.
Granulated sugars, which now cost
the housekeeper from six to eight cents
per pound, will be sold at the grocery
stores for four and five cents per
pound. This drop in the price of sugar
will not affect the reiners at all; on
the contrary, it will benefit them, be-
cause there will be an increased de-
mand for the article.
Brazil will send sugar here free OF
duty, but the crop will hardly be avail
able before the close Of the year. Last
year Americans consumed 1,522,73l
tons, and it is estimated that the con-
sumption this year, the duty being
taken off, will aggregate 100000 tons.
1t is estimated that each person in this
country each year consumed ffty-four
pounds in years past, and that the
amount will increase now that sugar is
to be cheaper. The amount paid last
year as duty on raw material imported
into this country was nearly s6O,OOO,-
900,
So score one for THAT Mckinley
bill"

belong to but one club. That is the
ideal club with a membership which
never grows tiresome and club house
which is always cheerful. 1t is a club
where the evenings can be spent IN
happiness and where the cobwebs OF
care can be swept from the brain by
the most delightful of processes. The
keeper of the club house should he
the bright-faced wife whose every
thought is for bin whose name she
bears. The honorary members should
be the children whose laughter drives
all somberness away. With books and
papers, easy chairs and glowing fire
such a club approaches as near to
heaven as is ever reached on earth,
1t is a club which never makes man
worse but always better; which ex-
pands his life and elevates his charac-
ter; to which no unwelcome intruder
can gain entrance. "Love" is the
password for admission and 'kindli-
ness the motto upon the portal. 1t
is the club to which every man should
belong and with which he should never
cancel his membership. The ideal
club is home. Kansas has thousands
of this kind. They are not all in the
towns and cities. They are scattered
over the prairies and nestle in the
parks beside the creeks and rivers.
Their members are the pride and hope
of the state. The most regular attend
ants on this club are our best citizens
and those who are growing to man.
hood and womanhood most closely kept
beneath these club house roofs will be
the staunch and trusted leaders of the
future.
If the decline of the false and unreal
limitations ofthe horne can increase the
membership and attendance in the one
ideal club of the world it is well that
they pass away; for humanity is the
gamer when the home and its infu.
ences are strengthened.

A Remarkable Reason.

The house adopted a resolution re-
questing the governor to appoint one
"Gen. R. c. Bradshaw" as member
of the board of railroad COM
missioners. The reasons given for
making the request were that Gen.
Bradshaw" was colonel of a Mis-
souri, regiment during the war and had
come to this state about four years ago
and had very greatly helped the al
lance committee in the preparation of
some of their buncombe railroad bills.
Just why the governor should be ex-
pected to pass oyer the 10000 old SOL
diers who have been in Kansas for
twenty years and who have borne
the heat and (grasshOppeT) burden of
the day for a freshly imported Mis-
souri, colonel is not very apparent. We
know great many ''Ol6 soldiers" who
are not drawing any pensions, whose
industry, perseverance and faith have
helped make Kansas what it is and
who are emiIently qualified to fill the
Office of railroad commissioner. These
old Kansans are deserving and should
not be thrown aside to reward Mis-
souri, importation.

THE BoTKIN IMPEACHMENT.
Makeup of the Court For the TriaI-The
Heavy Cost.

Makeup of the Court For the Trial-The
Heavy Cost.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 1S.-The board
of five managers appointed by the
house of representatives to conduct the
prosecution of Judge Theodosious Bot
kin before the senate, organized as
high court of impeachment, will meet
here April 10, ten days prior to the date
fixed by the senate for beginning the
trial. The board has engaged as its at
torney R. NJ. Mackey, formerly a part
ner of Col. Sam Wood.
Ten days intervening between the
time of the meeting of the board of
managers and the court of impeach-
ment is to be put in by the managers in
preparing for the trial, in consulting
with witnesses and familiarizing them
selves with all the points in the case.
The board of managers without ex-
ception is composed of men on the
house committee which prosecuted the
preliminary investigation of the charges
against Judge Botkin and recommend
ed the impeachment. Judge Webb, a
republican member of the house of
representatives, who was named on the
original committee but who declined to
serve when Judge Botkin's attorneys
objected to him on the ground that he was
prejudiced and had prejudged the case,
is one of the board of managers, and is
really its head and will direct it, al
though A. n. Wilmington, of Lincoln
county, is the nominal president of the
board.
1t is estimated by those interested in
the case on both sides that thirty days
will be consumed in the trial. An ap-
preparation of S27, 900 was made by the
legislature to defray the expenses. The
prosecution contends that this will be
amply sufficient, but there are many
others who claim to be in position to
speak intelligently on the subject who
insist that it will not be half enough.

No One Met Him

John a. Anderson returned from Washing

1t the train.-I Manhattan Republic.
The dream of worldly pomp has faded,
Honor's scroll has turned to dust;
Homewsrd comes he, faint and jaded,
Finished, his twelve years of trust.
When of yore he neared the station,
Loui rang out the brass bands strain;
Now, alasl there's no elatiOl-
mo one met him at the train"
While in congress he was landed,
Hailed as Riley > greatest son;
All his chestnuts were applauded,
All Manhatt IN praised his fun.
How John AS broad chest expanded
As they cheered and cheered again!
Now the throng has all disbanded-
mo one met him at the train"
Gone, those hotel callers, aocking
From the districts falthest bound,
At their saints back parlor knocking
Till his presence they had found;
Gone, the handshss es and the praises
(Some pOstofiee to ATTAIN,
Meier a friend the atch upraises-
mo one met him at the train"
Gone, the farmers, sturdy toilers
Who had!joined in glad acclaim
Gone, the fawners and the spoilers,
Chasing now some other name.
Pond'rous railroad bills foI gotten.
Seeds and pub. docs" sent in vain,
Lost the fame of place begotten-
"No one met him at the train"
Can it be that time so fieeting
Has the peoples hearts estranged?
Or has each alliance meeting,
Their once hearty friendship changed?
All Johns work for jobs and pensions,
All the bombast of his reign,
Cannot heal the Fifth's dissensions-
mo one met him at the train"
My 10. John, our work is ended
On the Kansas prairies fair;
Go and WOO the Sphinx, extended
In far EgYpt's desert air;
Seek the mummies who for ages
In old PharOah's vaults hsve lain,
Visit Oairo's priests and sages-
They may IA Get you at the train.
