The Kansas City Journal, with frank
ness as commendable as unusual, admits
the folly and the failure of the Missouri
river navigation scheme. 1t says; The
boat line didn't accomplish much for
the men who invested their money In it
last year" Well, who is surprised or dis
appointed at the failure? Certainly not
1.-The men who invested their money" in
the enterprise, for they knew before the
attempt was made as we'll as they know
now that it would be a failure. The
scheme was simply ruse to perpetuate
the "basing line" outrage upon the Trans
missouri territory. But it didn't work,
thanks to the intervention of the state
railway commissioners in the people s
behalf.

Henry Cabot Lodge has started dis
cussion as to whether railroad slaughter
can be materially reduced in this coun-
Try. Ia 1890 q, 600 men We're killed or
injured in coupling cars and other rail
road work, an increase of {, 200 from the
previous year. Ii is proposed to add the
duty OF preventing accidents to those of
the interstate commerce commission.
This is . mistake. The commission al
ready has more on their hands than they
can attend to satisfactorily to all concern
ed. Congress could come nearer correct
ing the grievance by passing a law COM
polling the adoption OF . uniform system
of automatic coupling by all railroads.

Don't worry about any citizen OF Kan
sas desiring to remove 10 Arkansas. Ii
there were any such, and they should
make such desire known, there Is no

A Vermont judge holds that tobacco
is both a victual and drink. 1t Is
taken as a nourishment, sustenance,
food, etc., therefore victual. 1t is not
an obsolete use Of the word TO call it
drink. Joaquin Miller says: 1 drink
the winds as drinking wines If man
can drink wind / think he can drink
tobacco smoke, vile and disgusting as 1t
is. A man is compelled to drink it by
having it pulled in his face on all occa-
sions and in all places from the cradle to
the grave. 1t is drink.

A New York jury has distinguished
itself by calling upon the New York leg
Islature in its verdict in the Sage bomb
case, to pass law Immediately, making
it an offense punishable by imprison-
ment, for any person to carry, without
proper authority, any object whatever
capable of destroying life and property.
Desperate individuals who contemplate
throwing bombs at people in the same
room with themselves will look upon
such legislation, of course, with fear and
trembling.

1t is stated as a fact that quorum is
rarely present in the hall of congress
now, and the body is drifting without
rudder, or compass. One of the assistant
sergeants-at-arms says he never was kept
so busy rushing about after absent menu
bers to make up quorum, land he speaks
of it as the worst 'wild-hog" congress he
ever saw. The members, he Says, acts
just as pack of school children do when
the teacher is absent from the room.
That is shown in what the house has so
far been able to accomplish.

class of goods that she exports to France,
Germany and England. In cut glass she

country. The fineness of the polish is
due to a process of heating. which her
