1t was given out some time ago that
the visit of George Alfred Townsend to
Spain was undertaken for the purpose of
collecting material for biography of
Columbus. Now it is reported that he
intends to make a second attempt at
novel, with Columbus as the hero. 1t
might be well for him to finish the book
before deciding whether to call it fiction
or history. In either case it will be sure
to contain much interesting matter, and
the classification of it will be of minor
Importance. 1t was said by a carping
critic of Walter Scott that his histories
were excellent works of fiction and his
novels excellent histories.

Should the new rates lately ordered by
the state board of railroad commissioners
be ratified by the courts, the Missouri
river jobbers would establish depots at
Salina, Hutchinson and Wichita, and all
of Robustness would be done as now-by
the Missouri river towns-kansas City
Star.
This is the first open admission from
that point that the complaints from Kan
sas interior dealers of discrimination IN
freight rates are founded on fact. And
coming at this time it is further ad-
mission that the Missouri towns expect
to be debarred from their present exclu-
sive trade privileges in Kansas through
the maintenance of the commissioners
orders.

The Falkland islands in the Sonth At
lantic, over which Great Britain and the
Argentine republic are disputing, were
once as famous a haunt of the fur seals
as are now the shores of Alaska. At
that time, says the Philadelphia Record,
the English and Spanish contended for
jurisdiction over the islands and for
ownership of the seals. But while they
were disputing over the question of SOW
ereignty the sagacious seals deserted the
Falkland islands and made their habitat
in another region. They may yet play
the monopoly on the Pribilof islands and
the pot-hunterS in Boring sea similar
clever trick. They might thus practi-
cally settle the entire Boring sea contro-
versy in advance of the award of the
arbitrators. In that event interest would
be diverted from the question of juris-
diction to that of damages, which one or
the other of the contestants is bound by
the pending vivendi to pay to the other
in final settlement of the controversy.

Shameless and Shabby Business.

From the Philadelphia Record,
The decision of the house, overruling
its elections committee, which had de-
cided that the seat occupied by Mr..
Rockwell Dem of New York rightfully
belonged to Mr. Noyes (Rep.l, was an
outbreak of partisanship overriding
justice. On the merits Mr.. Noyes was
entitled to the place, But the house,
10th to kick Democrat out and help a
Republican in, listened to the quarter
sessions rant of Mr.. Fellows and the
irrelevant roaring of Mr.. Cochran and
forgot to do right. There is no excuse
for this action in that plenty of Repub-
lican presidents may be found for it. 1t
is a shameless and shabby business that
brings reproach upon Democracy.

Since it has developed that both Dray-
toms and Fox's participation in the dis
graceful scandal that finally eliminated
IN the duel fasco between Borrowe and
Fox was induced by money considera
ton, the popular feeling, as far as it is
concerned in the matter, is half regret
that Borrowe could not or did not make
both the others victims of their base
cupidity. Disgraceful as Borrowers acts
may have been in the first instance, he is
the only one of the three that retains
semblance of personal honor.
