ABOUT FUSION.

From the proceedings Of the Peoples
party county convention held in this city
yesterday, it is clear that the party
bosses are in favor OF fusion with the
Democrats. The cue was given out by the
Kansas City conference the first OF the
week, though the Sedgwick county con-
tingent are disposed to go farther than
the agreement that neither party was to
surrender any of its principles q, but
simply unite on certain candidates to be
parceled out, and elect them, if possible,
unpledged to anything and not response
bic to any party. This is shown by the
failure of yesterdays meeting to in
dorse some of the most conspicuous feat
ures of the party's basic principles.
This trucking and conniving on the
part of the leaders of both those parties
in Kansas now, after all the hard and
mean things they have said about each
other must be disgusting in the extreme
TO the decent members of both follow
ings. And this feeling cannot but be in
tensitied amorg the rank and file Of the
Peoples party when they think of the
duplicity that has been practiced towards
their party by the dominant party in the
south, where the new party had its ORR
gin and strongest hold, apparently, for
time, and until now. Take the state of
Georgia for example. Strong claims
have been made for the Peoples party
in that state, and there were a
great many Democratic leaders who ad-
vocated an alliance with the advocates
of the Ocala platform. After some ex-
perimenting on this line the idea was
abandoned and the Democratic leaders
are waging an energetic war on the new
party.
Perhaps the most interesting event in
the Georgia campaign took place at War
renton last week when Governor North
ern, as representative of the Georgia
Democracy, hurled the challenge into
the faces of the third partyites and gave
them sample of the kind of fighting
they might expect. The objective point
of Governor Northern's attack was the
record of c. c. Post, who is at present
chairman of the third party state. COM
mittee. Post was handled without
gloves, and had such a denunciation oc-
Cured in the south few years ago
there would undoubtedly have been
prompt resort to the code duelo.
This Georgia incident is of course SIM
ply by the way, as to the situation in
Kansas, but it has a very strong relevan-
CT as showing the insincerity of the lead
ers in this state. 1t shows that Demo-
Gratis have no sympathy with the Peo-
pies party and the concern they are
now showing is solely for gain.

BLAINE's RESIGNATION.

The resignation of Mr. Blaine as sec
rotary of state will prove surprise t.
the whole country, and probably an I'M
pleasant one to the great body of the
Republican party who hopes more for
the triumph of principle than the sue
cess of individuals, however eminent
and worthy. The dispatches containing
the news was not received here till the
afternoon. The first impression natural
ly was of some radical mIsunderstand-
ing between Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Blaine. Another idea was that it may
be intended as short cut announcement
that Mr. Blaine consents to candidacy
before the Minneapolis convention, either
in his own interest or in the behalf of
some one other than Dir. Harrison. In
any event. now, the Democratic party is
no longer without company in its trouble
over candidates. Without doubt later
dispatches, to follow during the night,
will render things more clear, but we
fear with little promise of harmony, the
one prerequisite to victory next Novem-

A Chinese Form of Poiiteness

\ special Chinese form of politeness is
what, for want of better phrase, We must
call ''face"-the exact translation of the
Chinese word. Every Chinaman has en-

calls face" 1t is his object in life TO pre-
serve his face intact-tO save his face, and
to save the face of those with whom be

the existence of face" when we say that
we may not mention such thing To a
friend because we were afraid of putting
him out OF countenance. Again, we say of
any humiliation suffered by neghbor
that the poor man was thoroughly put out
of countenan0a. The Chinese have de
veloped this line of mental sensitiveness TO
the utmost
1t is as important to save n mans face in
the course of any transaction as TO avoid
calling him bad names or kicking him
down stairs. To destroy a mans face is
the worst of all injuries and would only be
resorted to under extreme provocation. 1t
is thought reasonable to save the face" Of

save his face if he lose his head, and we
are told of magistrate who was allowed
as a special favor to be beheaded in his

No doubt the Highland chieftain or the

of his honor as Chinaman thinks of his
face.-London Spectator.

WORTHLESS EXPERT" VALUATIONS

From the Des Mones Wide Awake.
1t often happens that negotiation:
leading to the sale Of real estate are
spoiled by opinions which are giver
concerning values of properties, said
opinions in many instances being given
carelessly, in ignorance, in malice and
some times with disposition to prevent
tie investor making the purchase. In
| competent persons are often called upon
for opinions in such matters, and it is
seldom that Incompetence stands In the
way of ready expression in the
premises. Men who would not call
upon tinker to pass Judgment on a
watch or upon a minister of the gospel
to pass upon the solvency of bank,
will readily turn upon some one equally
as incompetent to pass upon the value
Of piece of real estate.
1t should be the rule that expert opin-
ions should only he given by real estate
men in real estate matters. Such expert
service should be done for fee and
after proper investigation; the opinions
should be in writing with the experts
signature attached. He should under
stand that he Is making a record upon
which his own reputation might rest.
II is not easy to say exactly how such
matters can be controlled, but is easy to
learn how much damage is done to
legitimate trading by the off-handed
condemnation of properties by men of
prominence who are applied to because
being prominent they are supposed to
know everything.
1t is said that in Omaha opinions given
- no, l-arC latoI To hrao l. ~
any and every trade in real estate 1t is
the case generally when bankers have
the recommending power in any city.
They are no more competent than other
men to pass such opinions, but. being
prominent are applied to more often
than other people are. They seek safety
in recommending nothing. The money
is better in the banks.
One of the most prominent and sue
ceSsful real estate agents in Chicago re-
Gently made statement to the writer of
his method in this connection saving:

make a rule of first convincing myself of
the value of a property, and l watch to
see if any adverse opinions come be-
tween me and my results.
There are thousands of trades and sales
spoiled and lost because the would-be in-
weston obtains some worthless opinion
without the knowledge of the agent who
is trying to make the sale.

THAT GRIST AND GRIND.

Another writer retells the tale of
Wellington's tragedy in this mornings
EAGLE, and tells it graphically. That
which, to us, most wildly portrays the
fateful energies of that vortex, its de-
Structive resticity and circling death,
are the dismantled trees, withered and
blasted, stripped of. every leaf and bud,
left without particle of bark on trunk
or twig, standing there stark and white,
ravished and naked, mute emblems' OF
the destruction encompassed in those
wrenching moments of blackness when
all the materials and contents of those
hundred fated homes and business
houses; when all the siding and shingles
and lath of these buildings, all the
rafters and boards, joist, scantling and
brick, together with wagons and side
walks, street cars, stoves, pianos, tin
roofs, sewing machines and machinery
and thousand things, constituted the
grist, the cracking roar, the mournful
shrek, and the demoniacal howl of that
wrack and grind.

From the Kansas City Star.
A healer of Senator Inga S Grafton
at Jefferson City on Decorate, day, who
is better qualified to know ms meaning
and intent than the readers q The tele-
graphic synopsis, is quite certain that
the Stars comments on the statement
The Fourth of July is day that per-
petuates that which had better he for
COTTON, are unjust, for the very good
reason that Senator Ingalls, did not use
that unqualified expression. Referring
to the complaint that the 6. a. r. and
its commentators perpetuated
memories of sectional strife and
kept alive fraternal Olsen
sions that should lie forgotten.
Senator Ingalls, said that 1.-The Fourth of
July was an anniversary that parpet-
uated the recollections OF a war between
kindred, and the sheGdinE 80 frH'slral
blood, but that no patriotic A.-~..c.- n
ana no thoughtful Englishman wished
on that account that 1t should be disre-
garded or forgotten" This is a very
important distinction, amounting TO an
absolute difference between what Senator
Ingalls, said and what he is reported as
saying. and places him in his true posi-
ton of being a good, loyal American, Gs
becomes the descendant of seven genera

There is disposition on the part Of a
certain class of Republicans to resort to
intimidation and denunciation in order
to weaken the Harrison forces. While
it is the right of Republicans who are
opposed to the president to exert an in
fuence against his denomination, they
have no rig ht as true Republicans, seek
ing the best interests of the party, to
manifest such a spirit. 1t is not far,
just or honorable. In order to gain sue
cess the Republicans at Minneapolis
must control their tempers as well as
exercise wisdom in the performance of
their duty. The Democrats are count
ing upon elements of discord and per-
sonal pique, and will use every intem-
perate word uttered by representative
men as weapons of assault. The right
of choice is honorable when honorable
efforts are exercised. Let wisdom be
the rule of action. and the nominee of
the Republican party will be supported
and triuurphantly elected.

The Syracuse pow-wow and the dele
gates it selected to go to Chicago will re-
ceive no recognition in the national con-
vention. and this apparent fact empha-
sizes the expressions of Murphy, Hills
chief bugleman, as indicating Hills
back down. That conference of the
Albany convention delegates, called for
Tuesday in New York city, will no
doubt devise a convenient way out for
Mr. Hill, and our guess is that it will
not be resolve to support Flower; that
would be as disastrous TO Hills political
future as for him to remain on the track
and be defeated, and Hill is not ready to
retire from public life, if he can pre-
vent it.
