A young man who is preparing to en-
ter Harvard announces that his serious
business III life will be the writing OF
advertisements. He anticipates a great
improvement in this line, owing to the
spread of education and the development
of higher critical faculty in those who
are compelled to ride in street cars.
When the news columns and the adver-
tisements in the ordinary newspaper are
equally brilliant and enticing, this young
man thinks the millennium will be at
hand

Here is the way Lieutenant Governor |

Here is the way Lieutenant Governor
Felt treats the proposition, suggested by
a number of his close and warm personal
friends, to make him a candidate for con-
gressman-at-large on the Republican
ticket: ''One of the prime needs of the
Republicans in Kansas is recruits. Re-
cruits are not attracted by maintaining
one class of men in public place. The
writer of this las had all the honors he
deserves. He firmly believes it is better
for the commonwealth to bring to the
front deserving and capable workers
from the ranks, and what is best for the
commonwealth is best for the party"
1t were a good thing for the party, and
for the state as for that, if the manly
and patriotic declaration Of Andy Felt
here quoted could find a reponse, in
word and act, in some others in Kansas.

Mr.. Cleveland has enjoyed a weeks
hunt on Joe JefTerson's plantation in
Louisiana, perfectly obliyious to the
fresh newspaper reports put into cir
culatton by tho "ostrich that knows
it ALL" The latest is, Mr.. Cleveland
has become thoroughly disgusted
with the tricks Of the New York
democrats who oppose him, and will
shortly publish a letter Withdrawing
from the presidential contest.
The urgent pleading Of friends has
alone prevented the letters earlier
publication. In the meantime, Sem
ator Hills admirers, in the hope Of
making his calling and election sure,
have named Feb. 22d as the date for
the New York Convention. Mr..
Hill is now believed to have the New
York machine well in hand and pro-
poses to secure the delegation before
any reyulsion Of sentiment occurs.
The New York papers, with the ex-
ception possibly Of the hybrid Sun,
unite in declaring the movement un-
dcmocratic, unprecedented, unwise.
Even the World, the greatest liv-
ing" Hill organ, besceches the SEN
ator not to make such a mistake. It
is believed political trickery like this
will consolidate the rest Of the coun-
try against Hill.
Another interesting political ru-
NOR places German, Hill and Brice
in the attitude OF opposing any tariff
legislation by the present congress.
They argue that the republican sem
ate and president would defeat any
move Of the democrats, and that it
is wiser and better to draw up a set
Of resolutions defining the demo-
cratic position, and make the va
rious planks broad enough and long
enough to comfortably seat free
traders, tariff-reformers, protection
lists, free-c coinage advocates, gold
bugs, single-taxites, third party men,
and all the boys who march in the
procession and carry the Transparent
cies. The result will be such an as
scniblagc Of political healers, ballot
box suffers, legislature-fxers, ,cranks,
hoodlums and idiots that respectable
people will turn with relief to the
republicans and give Harrison an
other term. The democratic party
is seriously affected. The men who
have given it principle for which
to fight seem to have been thrust in
to the deep background, aud unless
they can be brought well to the front
within the next quarter, we shall en-
ter upon the presidential campaign
with brightest prospects Of over
whelming defeat.

Some years ago, one Of our boys,
in his pursuit Of the homes and
haunts Of the feathered tribe, discov-
cred nest of a red bird into whose
fabric its builders had carefully in
tertwincd a slim of paper from an
abandoned copy book, bearing the
words "'Tis not how much we do
but how WE'LL" This inspiring sem
timcnt had all the appearance Of hay-
ing been selected by the bird build
ers on account Of its appropriateness,
to serve as a frieze for the room in
which they were to bring up a fami-
" of red birds, and the nest was pre-
served for a long time but finally
lost. When w. Hamilton Gibson's
exquisitely illustrated article upon
Bird Architecture appeared in Har-
per's Magazine about year ago, in
which were noted some structures
nearly as curious as the above, this
specimen Of bird architecture was re-
called and was deemed likely to be
Of interest to Mr.. Gibson and de-
scription was accordingly sent to
him. A letter has just been received

probation of the description and his
purpose Of incorporating it in some
future article. Postscripturally Dir.
Gibson remarks that almost the first
landscape he ever drew was ono Of

The sensation Of the hour in Mem
phis is the murder of Miss Freda
Ward, Of Golddust, Tenn, by her
friend, Miss Allie Mitchell, as brief
ly mentioned in these columns last
week. They had been strong friends
for number Of years. but Of late
Miss Ward had eyinced desire to
break off attachment, and during her
last visit to Memphis had Ignored
Miss Mitchell. This led directly to
the tragedy. II is hard to conceive
OF love, felt by one woman for an
other, so strong as to prefer death to
separation. That she chose to take
the life Of her friend rather than her
own proves Miss AIitchelI's insanity,
or mania, or whatever she is cursed
with, to be Of an order that keeps a
yigilant watch over number one, and
is therefore all the more dangerous.
She il certainly crazy. The effect Of
the revolving crime upon other weak
or youthful minds is a source Of great
concern in the community. One act
of such nature frequently induces
others. 1t is strongly suspected that
the horrible Whitechapel murders,
attributed to "Jack the Ripper, !"
were the work Of a number Of luna.
tics influenced by a single crime.
One crop Of boom-throwers brings on
another. Shooting, cutting, burning
manias, are contagious. The less
said about the Ward murder, and
the sooner Allie Mitchell is removed
to an asylum, the better for society.
Miss Mitchell, BY the way, is Il
niece of Robert Mitchell, the mil
lionaire furniture manufacturer Of
Cincinnati.
