These constitute the means late
ly employed.by the Kansas Legisla-
ture in the execution Of legislative
work. The controversy between
the republicans and populists has
come to a crisis resulting in open
riot. The two parties are very
nearly equally divided and are con-
tending for the choice Of senator,
whose vote may prove the pivot
on which the balance will turn in
deciding the question of party su-
premacy in the national senate
The crisis was reached when the
popullsts took charge of the stair
way leading to the representative
hall and tried to prevent republi-
can employees from going to the
chamb ers above. at the same time
adding emphasis to their action by
a liberal display of firearms. The
republicans rushed to the rescue in
body and disgraceful riot rcigned
supreme. Doors were battered
down with sledge hammers accom-
panied with curses and vile and
threatening imprecations. The
populists were finally driven out
but not until several companies OF
militia were ordered to the seat OF
war was quiet restored. 1t was
probably this action Of the law and
order officials that prevented the
shedding Of blood, thereby avert
ing the greater enormity Of what
| is even now shameful disgrace
that Will go down in history as ar
ugly blot upon the untarnishej
name of America. That men choS'

the honor conferred upon then
as to voluntarily engage in lawles'
riot and bring reproach upon on

The Two Headed Woman.

Mile Christine, the "two headed
nightingale, "the colored wonder
of the world" etc, was born near
Whiteville, S. c., in the year 1851,
of slave parents. She, they or it is
hardly a monstrosity, but rather a
phenomenon or freak Of nature.
She has two busts and pairs Of
shoulders, two heads, four arms and
four legs, and, so an anatomical cx
animation has proved, she has two
hearts, two sets of lungs and two
sets Of digestive organs. LII fact,
she is two distinct persons blended
into one at the waist.
Mentally she is e'tainly two, be-
ing able to carry OIL two separate
conversations on different subjects
at one and the same time. She Is a
fine singer, one voice being a high
soprano and the other clear toned
contralto. She is highly ednca-
ted woman, or women, and speaks
several languages fluently, among
them German, French and Spanish.
She is with cut doubt the graf
est or one Of the greatest human
wonders born this century, her
physical makeup being a wonder
to the scientists and a puzzle to
the common people il general

Only a Newspaper File.

But what world of forgotten
events it containsl What "a source
for review Of the past, ever bring
ing up some incident fragrant with
pleasant memories. Here, in col
umn musty with age is a tribute
of respect paid departed frierd.
A home has been made desolate,
the last sad rites have been per-
formed and the world moves on in
it's ceaseless strife for favorite-
ism and wealth, blurring, if not
erasing from memory's tablet the
name of the dead. Farther down
the column is mentioned a pretty
social event, the mere mention of
which speaks of glad young hearts
and pleasant associations. On
through the vista of years that
have interviewed the same scenes
hare come and gone and alike have
been forgotten.
Elsewhere is portrayed a scene
vastly different from the one of
which we have just read. A being
destitute of moral restraints and
stepped in the pool of vice has wan
tonly taken the life of a tellow D.
ing. Here follows a brief review
Of a trial before tribunal of JUS
tice; the verdict is death, and sub
seqnnt issue announces to the
the world that the Bibles injunc-
ton has been fulfilled in that for
the shedding of mans blood mans
blood has been she'd The curtain
falls, another act in the drama Of
life has been enacted and again
we are carried out on the current.
Tucked away in a local column is
marriage notice; two hearts have
been united in holy bonds for veal
or woe.
They live on or pass away and
the event is forgotten. We turn a
page, another and another, but we
find no perceptible change, only .
recapitulation of the scenes por-
trayed on the pages turned down.
1t was ever thus, and thus it is;
we pass on, forgetful of the past,
unmindful ofthe future, looking
only to the transient pleasures Of
the hour, living out an existence,
which, after all, is but living ev-
idence of the fact that whatever
changes may come otherwise mans
mortal nature remains the same.
Lost in self and selfish interests. we
forget the existence of fellow be-
ing as we do the divine fiat, from
dust thou art and to dust shalt
thou return

A specimen Of disgruntled re-
publican craftsmanship is now be-
ing given the country by the ad-
ministration in the manner in which
it is dallying with the critical fl
nancial situation. Instead of tax
ing some decided step towards re-
lief, Mr.. Harrison and Secretary
Foster are simply doing nothing
being perfectly satisfied if they can
stave off the crisis until they have
turned the government over to the
democrats, thinking thus to escape
responsibility for any trouble that
may then come. This is worse
than cowardly:it is criminal. The
people Of thi, country are net i'd
lots; they will know where to place
the responsibility should the mac
ton of this administration result
in anything like a financial panic.

It Looks Like Open Defiance.

In the face Of negotiations with
the United States, the Gilbert L.
lands have been seized by England.
The king of the islands last April
asked the United States to estab-
l'Sh protectorate over his king
dom, ard negotiations have been
pending between the two govern
ments looking to that end, and the
British seizure looks like open de-
hance to Uncle Sam.

Telephone Connection.

A movement is on foot here to
establish telephone communication
between Monterey, Highland coun-
ty, and this city, being a branch OF
the Southern Bell Telephone COM
pany. F. L. Woodruff, the hust-
ling manager Of the Stanton ez-
change, is pushing the movement
on the part of the company, but 1t
requires some united pushing on
the part Of the business men OF
Stanton and the people along the
route and at the Highland end OF
the wire. The proposed line would
pass through Churchville, this
county, Mcdowell, Highland coun-
ty,. and probably Augusta Springs
The points at which the line viii
touch depend largely upon the
am cunt Of substantial Interest
manifested by the towns and vii
lagos between here and Monterey.
The plan on which Mr.. Wood
ruff is working is a safe and excel
lent one. He carries around pc
tition soliciting subscriptions from
business men, not as a charity, but
to be repaid in tolls for use of line
In this way he hopes to be able tt
secure sufficient funds to guaran
tee his company against loss an(
at the same time give subscriber
to the project full value received
and guaranty Of same.
The plan is a feasible one an(
would be of great value, not t
mention convenience to the people
of Highland, tie merchants o
Stauuton and all living the route
1t would probably have the effec
of extending the commercial rela
tons Of Staunton and Highland

Senator Voorhees, is strongly in
favor of the amendment to the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill,
authorizing the Sec. of the Treas
ury to sisue 3 percent five year
bonds, up to s5O,OOO,O0O, whenever
in his judgement it may be desira-
able to do SO, for the purpose Of ad-
ding to the gold reserve. He thinks
that the authority will never need
to be exercised, because the mere
fact that it exists will give stabili-
ty and inspire confidence through
out the world in our finances. The
Senator says there is no connec-
ton between this amendment ard
the Silver question, notwithstand-
ing the efforts made by some to
make it thus appear. The amend
ment, already adopted by the SEN
ate, will, it is believed, get through
the House unless the opposition
shall conclude to talk it to death.

Diminution Of Natural Gas.

There is hardly a doubt that tho
natural gas supply, even in the
most favored districts where this
agent has been discovered, is gen.

it will soon cease to be an import

country, particularly as far as its
use in manufacturing industries is

The Pay Of Cabinet Officers.

Cabinet salaries were large
enough at the time that Congress
fixed them at $1,000 a year. L;y-
ing was not 80 expensive then as
now. In fact, an $4,000 salary in
the days gone 10y was more than a
$4,000 or $4,000 salary would be
to-day.
If Congress would fix the Cabi-
net pay at $4,000 or $4,000 it
would do right thing.
Within recent years more than
one able and good man has declin-
ed Cabinet position because of
the inadequate salary. Some men
who are needed for Cabinet places
would be glad to accept portfolios,
would fully appreciate the homer,
but they SIMPLY cannot live in
Washington on $4,000 year, and
therefore have to decline. They
live at home on less, perhaps, but a
Cabinet officer, to keep up the dig
nifty of his position, needs more
than $4,000 a year.
A New York paper names $4,000
as the amount Of salary that a Cab
met officer should receive.
Let Congress raise the salary to
$4,000 and it will be satisfactory.
