He has struck his line.
Take, for instance, the undertaken,
the physician, the minister cf the
gospel, the lawyer. Surely there isn't
anything here Of special interest to them
Q, yes, there is. They will find them
selves attracted TO particular spots just as
the machinist, the electrician, the agricul
tUrist is attracted TO his spot. For tho I'M
dertakeF there is an illustration OF the
burial methods ard appliances Of all ma
tiOns, including cremation and not omit
ting the mummies of thousand or tvs
thousand years ago, which must make him
marvel at the art of his ancient forerin-

there arc all the medicines and tools Of bls

country but those used by his brot theirs in

the curious editions Of Bibles. the Biblas

THE PRESIDENTS PICKLE.

The late supreme court decision, cover
ing the constitutionality of the Geary
Chinese act has put the administration
of President Cleveland in hole. There
is something queer about the decision,
as it was evidently unexpected by the
administration. Mr.. ClevelaAd, after
suspending the law, had the Chinese
minister gently notified on the SIDE that
the supreme court would doubtless adj
just everything to satisfaction By its
decision. Then came the decision. The
chief justice, Cleveland's own appointee,
instead of rendering a calm and dignified
dissent, promulgated vindictive
and vehement explosion. His words
were anything but calm. The other
Democratic members of the bench sided
with him. Another unaccountable
phaze of the matter was Justice Brewers
dissenting opinion. But Judge Brewer
as United States circuit Judge sur
prised his Kansas friends at times. To
sum it all UP the president is in pickle.
1t is the general opinion that the adj
ministration will find or make some
excuse and not enforce the law.

WOMAN'S Err A.

"These days in Chicago are sort of
short haired women and long haired
men days" remarks Teresa Dean one Of
the brightest reporters on the ground.
OF course Teresa being a woman is dis
gusted with the way women are run
ming things. The women are making
speeches in the congress on the grounds
daily and a good big per cent. are going
for the shortcomings of the men. The
consensus Of opinion in the region of
the two thousand women composing the
congress seems to be that the present
generation of men are lacking not only
III longitude but in every other way and
that they as rule, have more brass
than brains. The era of woman Is on
and men must so under. From Miss
Deans report of several of the speeches
we reproduce the following as showing
what the general trend of things in the
new era are to be like:
Mrs. Blake was a little severe on the
men, especially on the Kansas statesmen
who refused suffrage 20 women, be

True to his instincts and royal bent of
mind Presidant Cleveland. ii is an
nounced FROM Washington, has deter
mined upon system of civil service re-
form, which he hopes to coerce congress
into adopting, that viii lead 10 the
building up and fixing upon the country
of an ottice-holding aristocracy. The
idea is directly, essentially opposed to
the genius and spirit Of true democracy
and will be opposed by the Democratic
party no less than by the Republicans;
but Cleveland is inspired by the conceit
that be Is bigger than any party and
knows better than the combined wisdom
of the country what the country needs
for the conservation of its best interests.

The Kansas City, Kansas Gazette has
/ increased its capital stock to fifty thou5-
and dollars The EAGLE predicts that
such increase is but a beginning. The
next will be to one hundred thousand,
and then unless the star Of empire turns
tail and Kansas City goes to growing
eastward instead Of westward, the time
is not very far distant when the Gazette
will be just as great and Just as valuable
as an investment as either of the metro
politan journals on the Missouri side.
Phil. Armour, who as Yankee pig
stlcker is hardly less cute than practical,
IN talking to US once, touching the res
pective destinies Of the municipal cor
porations clustering about the mouth of
the haw, remarked: 81 have no more
use for Missouri than you have; Armour
dale, you viii observe, lies on the right
side of the line and the coming great
animal food market of the world is to
be III Kansas and not in Missouri, to
which you Wichita fellows cannot, in
any event more than play second fiddle,
and then only by properly improving
your opportunities. The Gazette is all
right and so is its energetic, hopeful,
loyal red-headed editor.

But for the local tributaries that feed

might prove tue. 1t Is fact that the

Without questioning the desirability
or the necessity for the enactment and
enforcement of the Geary anti-C Chinese
law, it is pertinent to ask what would be
the consequences if all the nations
should enact similar laws against each
other? 1t would effect the United States
less lnjuriously, perhaps, than any other
country, but our material progress and
development would be greatly retarded
Tor some time.
