THE PARK BILL,

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, has
introduced II bill to- create Il national
military park of the battlefield of Lex
ingtOn, Mo. BY the terms of the bill
the general government is TO buy the
ground and complete the park, upon
condition that the state will cede juris-
diction and the corporation authorities
OF Lexington execute u guaranty to for
ever maintain the park free of expense
to the government. OF course the state
will cede jurisdiction and the people of
Lexington ought not to object to giving
the guaranty. Such Il park would be
an adornment that future generations,
and especially the people of Lexington
would always take pride in.-Kansas
City Star.
Notwithstanding the setback a GER
tain Lexington publication seeks to
give the park scheme by ignoring any
local mention of it, the energetic and
patriotic people of Lexington Will not
hesitate to not only give the guaranty,
but fully sustain it afterwards. Aside
from the historic feature of Battle Hill,
there is no finer spot for beauty of nat
ural scenery for miles up and down the
river. The same thought that ami
mated its selection as 4 fortilication
and strategic point of defense of the
river will govern in its selection as Il
park in these times of peace. One
standing on the hill whose crest the
battle grounds encompass, the eye falls
upon n scene Of rare beauty IN summer
aud winter, Il scene at once artistic and
materialistic. The long stretch of
river up and down, the sun shining on
its smooth surface and forming rays
and rings of glimmering light; the
pure fresh air coming fairly and freely
from whichever direction; the gently
rising expansc on the Ray county side,
here covered with u heavy growth of
fine timber, yonder dotted with fields
and meadows, the smoke of locomo-
tives on two railroads steaming out
above the long train of cars; the sign
of thrift and enterprise on this side;
the iow-lying ponton bridge or throb-
bling ferry boat furnishing safe and
speedy passage cross the wide stream
all these but complete one grand picture
of natural and transccndent beauty not
formed anywhere near.
Should this bill become IL law, and
there seems no reason why it should
not, tho people of this city Will take
pride in maintaining the park, and
making it, rs well it a be, N of the
finest resorts in the Missouri valley.

CHANCE VS.. SCIENCE.

An exchange SAYS that while Sena-
tor Hill is q man of policy, Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland is a MAI of principle.
This reminds us of u little story.
Ouce upon a time II man was
arraigncd in II kentucky court of Grim
inal procedure charged with playing
a game of chance for stakes.
The attorney for the defendant
answered that his client had been play
ing '.old sledge," and that as old
slcdge was II game of science and not
of chance, the charge should be dis
missed.
This answer was argued pro and
con. and the end was that II compro-
mise WAS reached by referring the
matter to n committee, consisting of
four men. Two of these we're old
snnrts and Two were church deacons.
They were to 30 off to the Jury room

COLD AS

The "open winter" prophet has had to
w up that what he don't know about
the weather would make n longer article
than all the original editorials printed In
the o-fishcl organ for three months. The
weather this wee has not been "open"
To any great extent, and those whose bust
ness or pleasure called them out of bed
before 9 o'clock Tuesday morning found
the mercury in the thermometers ranging
from fourteen to twenty degrees below
zero. In some peculiarly exposed locali-
ties the latter point was reached, the Their
mometer at Elder Granville Clayton's
harness shop marking eighteen degrees

question, as this cold enough for your

but the one whose coming made such a
mercurial depression Monday night caught
noses, too.
