LIVELY KANSAS.

They have decided to omit the usual
inaugural ball at Topeka, Kan, this
winter. The governor-elect is Popu-
list, and Mrs. LEASE, who bosses his
party. has put her foot down on all such
frivolity as dancing. She thinks it i'm
moral, and abhors it because it is pOpu-
lar among the rich and pretentious.
The outlook for a dull season in Kansas
society, however, is not really so serious
as this would suggest. Times Will prob
ably be very lively, Notwithstanding the
elimination of one form of amuse-
ment. A fierce fight is waging
for the control OF the legisla-
ture and the naming of a United
States senator. The Democrats and
Populists have majority in the upper
house, and, when the returns were first
announced, appeared also to be in the
ascendeney on joint ballot. But the
Republicans have manipulated the can
wasting boards, and now claim that they
have votes enough to organize the lower
house. If they can do this they pro-
pose to unSeat anti-Republican repre-
Sentatives enough to put them on
top. This is very fine scheme
If it will work. But there are
some difficulties in the way. For
one thing, the anti-Republican ma
lority in the senate might retail
late by unseating Republican senator's.
For another thing, the anti-Republican
representatives who were legally elected
are not likely to submit quietly to being
disposSesSed. A Republican clerk the
other day issued false certificate of
election to one of his own party, in spite
of a clear Democratic victory in his
county. Since his dastardly deed he has
Kept in hiding, but an armed body of
patriots is hunting for him. When he
is found he will be lynched without any
further delay than the ordinary rules of
etiquette require. The Republicans in
the house may well hesitate, with such a
spirit of thoroughness in the air, to carry
their project to a conclusion. But
whether they do or not. Kansas will not
lack for recreation during the next few
months. 1t surely is very interesting
center of civilization.

TMMIGRATION.

The New York Herald rises to an
nouuce that 1.-THE best way to check
pauper immigration to this country is to
check it," and then comes back to the
original problem of how the check can
best be applied. The method which
commends itself to the Herald is to
charge every immigrant 500 for the
privilege of entering this country as a
prospective citizen.
This plan has the merit of extreme
theoretical simplicity, but the simplicity
vanishes when we face the task of put
ting the plan into practical effect. 1t
would prove very complicated and
difficult business to discriminate be-
tween tourists who are not to be charged
and immigrants who are to be charged.
The only effective method would be to
collect the 500 assessment from every
traveller entering our confines and issue
certificates emitting their respective
holders to receive back their money in
the event of departure from our shores
within certain period. This proceed
ing would, however, be cumbersome
and absurd, and would subject this
country to the rdicule and tbs resent
ment OF all other nations.
1t is, too, fallacious reasoning which
holds that his payment of the 500 would
remove an immigrant from the pauper
class. 1T would rather tend to bring
him into that class in very many in
stances, by taking away the meager
savings or, which he might support him
self willie Searching for occupation in
this land of promise.
Theoretically our Gotham contempo-
rary may have solved this immigration
problem in the plan it presents; but,
practically, would it work?

THE TREAsURER,s BOOKS.

City Treasurer MILLER, after six
months patient investigation, thinks he
has discovered something. The last
time he discovered something it was
law which required the judges of the
municipal court to hand their daily re-
ports to him i'll person. Under corrupt
ling rule they had formed habit of
sending them in by a messenger boy.
This outrageous violation of the statutes
met with his Justinian disapprobation,
and, although he has not succeeded in
altogether checking it, he has the
satisfaction of having made a holy
show of himself in trying to do so.
Now, however. he has lighted on real
live crime, and the criminals whom he
has detected are GEORGE REFS, his
predecessor in office; SENATOR LIENAU
and the late WILLIAM LINDEKE. The
GLOBE is glad that the council has de-
cded to refer the whole subject of the
city treasurer's bookkeeping to eXamin-
alton by an expert. This will stop the
mouth of this peStiferOuS busybody who
is tampering with other mems reputa-
tionS reeklessly and without judgment.
An investigation by some one VINO is
competent, if it accomplishes nothing
else, will be worth the expense, provid-
ed it will leave Mr.. MILLER at liberty
to attend to the duties for which he was
elected, but from which his interest in
reform" seems to nave entirely dis.
frapta0 him. .s-----a.-,l---... -..---.-.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

As far as the GLOBE can make out
from the public announcements on the
subject, Mr.. MASON has been removed
from the head of the police detective
force, for the ''good of the service and
because his 'work did not prove salts
factory to the administration"
But if the management of the police
department during the past six months
had been efficient, and the complaints
about the prevalence of crime ground
less, as IS claimed in some quarters,
would it be necessary now to remove
the chief detective for the good of the
service and because his work did not
prove satisfactory"
This step, SO long contemplated and
finally taken, is complete justification
of all the criticisms which have been
made on MIR. GARVIN'S methods. The
GLOBE hopes that the cause of the
weakness has been discovered, and that
with the installation of Mr.. MCGINN
the protection which life and property
have heretofore enjoyed in this city
will be restored. Mr.. McGINN is man
of experience, ability and reputation in
his line; and if his presence does not
bring about the result which is desired,
it will only show that the detective
branch of the force has not been re-
SponSible for the recent reign Of law
lessness and disorder in our midst. If
it does bring it about, the GLOBE will
be the first to call attention to the
change and to commend its coming.
This paper recognizes no higher guide
in its utterances than its desire for the
public good, and when this is. secured,
it has no further structures to make on
men or measures.

FIRE IN FURNITURE.
Friction of Elevator Ropes Pre-
CinitateS q Blaze.

Friction of Elevator Ropes Pre-
cipitates a Blaze.
Last evening there was disastrous
blaze in the second and third floors of
the j. L. Mcmillan brick building, across
from fire headquarters, on the corner of
Eighth aud Minnesota streets. A part
of the second and all of the third floors
of the building are used by &. H. Lains
& CO. for the storage of furniture. The
main loss is on this furniture. Mr.. Lains
estimating it at from $4,000 to $4,000,
covered by about $4,000 insurance. The
loss to the building is not heavy, only
part of the second and third floors and
the roof being burned out. The loss is
fully covered by insurance.
The fire made its appearance shortly
before Z o'clock. and is supposed to
have been caused by friction of the
freight elevator wire ropes. The flames
were first seen through the windows of
the third floor. They rapidly spread
over that floor and soon EXTENDED down
the second, and covered nearly half of
that. The fire department was, of
course, promptly at hand, and flooded
the floors in short order. Mr.. LanS
says that he had just stocked up with
holiday goods, and had from $4,000 to
$4,000 Of goods in the warehouse. The
flames were smothered SO quickly that
not a great amount of furniture was.
burned, but good deal was blistered
by the heat and damaged by water.
Chief jackson thinks the salvage will
prove much greater than Mr.. Lains ex
poets. A good deal of the upholstered
goods will have to be redresSed, and
much more will have to be repolished.
The expense of this work will be the
main cost of the fire to the furniture
company.
Tie brass foundry and machine shop
occupies ali the first floor and two-thirds.
of the second. This company loses Httlee
OF nothing by the fire.

FOR sT1NDav OPENING

Cardinal GIBBONS announces himself
In favor of Sunday opening of the
worlds fair in the following very def
mite terms:
The Sunday closing of this spectacle
would be very unfortunate for many thou
sands of our countrymen, who would be
tempted to spend the day in dissipation. In
their name l would favor the opening of the
fair Sunday afternoon to evening, with the
provision that all machinery should be
stopped and all mechanical and laboring
work that will not be urgently necessary
should cease. In this 1 do not see any desc
grafton of the holiness of the day; on the
l,sEtgary those who will visit the fair on
these days will be inclined to raise their
minds and hearts to Him who inspired men
who produce such marvellous things
This is almost in the language previ-
ously employed by the GLOBE in advo-
eating Sunday opening. The distin-
guished prelate demonstrates anew his
broad liberality and progressiveness In
Ale stand he takes on this question. The

sulting i'll but a small fraction of the lots
against which judgment had been ordered
being taxed mp with the costs.
There could have been no appeal on these
cases. nor any question as to the ability to
sell these, for the assessments were but Si6
to So per lot. In the Sixth street bridge
ease he makes such ado about, there was an
appeal to the supreme court pending. which
was dropped upon the attorneys STIMULATING
that the original be paid. Besides these there
was question as to the ability to sell such a
large number of assessments of over SI,0J0
perlot, even if the appeal was won by the
city What was done was for the best in
sterest of the city. In the great number of
local improvements made during the last
years. there were always cases where pro-
ceedings were stopped by the council or
board for the time being, even after judg-
ment was obtained, by reason of some delay
or hitch in the contract where the work was
changed or not completed, or other correc-
tions were pending before the board Of pub
lie works.
The assessments were always promptly col
lected. excepting when delayed by the courts.
on by delays changes or corrections ordered
by the board or CON mon council.
In regard to the sprinkling assessments the
amounts collected were always sufficient TO
cover any expenses incurred by the city.
The public examiner has examined the
books before. | have always been ready to
give any explanation whenever desired, and
will always be whenever the same is asked

REFS REPLIES,
And Shows Council Authority fors
His Course. .;

COuVSG.
Conrad W. Miller, the Republican
standing candidate for Office, who was
by chance finally elected city treasurer,
has been, since his election. struggling
in every way to immortalize himself by
showing that his predecessor was in
some way derelict in duty. His last
and most desperate effort was made at
Tuesday evenings meeting of the board
of aldermen, when he presented COM
munication setting forth that Mr.. Refs
had given Mr.. Lienau and William Lin
deke rebate receipts for the interest
upon property sold for assessments.
Every fair-minded man knew that
George Refs would not do such thing
without sufficient warrant. The follow
ing is a communication from the ex-city
treasurer showing how it all came
about:
To the Editor of the Globe
In reference to the communication of Mr.
Miller to the common council, | would state
that the righteousness of the whole business
is plainly shown by his purposely omittiug
to state that the common council ordered
these rebates to be made and these refunding
orders to be issued. This applies both to the
cases of Mr.. Eindeke and Mr. Lienau
There is an old saying that people who Law
traps for others generally fall into them
themselves.
II is singular that it should happen that

noted Protestant bishop. POTTER. of
New York, has given utterance to SIM
liar views; and yet, with the example
OF these two great ecclesiasts before
them, there are many religious eXtrenl-
lists who regard Sunday opening of the
fair as essentially suggestion OF his
satanic majesty. The pious junior sem
ator from Pennsylvania, Hon. MATTHEW
STANLEY QUAY, is one of these ex-
tremists; and his sanity fellow-citizen
and boodle-raiser, Hon. JOHN WANA-
MAKER, is another. They are opposed
to Sunday opening. But the liberalized
Christian people of this country are
for it.
