Political VAR in Kansas

The populists, who have been talking up
ed way in which tho old parties have been
running things do not appear to lie inclined
TO set the old boys reformed example in
Kansas. The Legislature OF the Jeyhew-
ker State will organize on tha second Tues-
day in January and the new party promises
TO make a spectacle OF itself in connection
herewith. The republicans on tho face OF
the returns have majority OF Que in the
lower House and IL ia expected that the
me jority will be increased by tho settlement
OF a number Of contests in their
own favor. The populisss also have
number of contests to make
and they propose to seat their men in a
queer manner. That the populists have
elected tie governor OF Kansas there 10 no
question, and since the Inauguration csro.
monies will conclude on the night before the
opening Of the session CT the Legislature
these rnealy mouthed reformsrs threaten to
hold possession OF the hall OF Representa-.
tives over night and organize the House in
spite OF tho fact that tho republicans at
present have a majority OF one in that
body. This has naturally aroused the re-
publicans, who now talk of securing pos
session OF the hall two or three days before
the opening Of tho session and holding it by
main strength.

'At tho Hotel Terrncina on the heights

self pleased with his present location, which

A new departure in Professionalism in
America is marked by the laying OF the
corner stone by Bishop Potter In New York
on December o., Of what will be the magnih-
cent cathedral OF ST. John the Divine
Hitherto worship in gorgeous structures Of
this nature has boon confined in this coun-
try to the Catholic church, but now the
Protestant Episcopal denomination will
build an edifce that will far outrank any
in America, and will rival some of the great
cathodrals of tho Old world. Tho cathedal,
according to Bishop Potter, own be
peopls's church in which no reserved right
can be bought held or hired on any pretext
whatever. 1t will be fitting shrine
of memorials Of our honored dead. 1t will
supply the especial need of this material
age, a commanding witness Of faith in the
unseen If 1t fulfills this mission it will
indeed be a grand and worthy cathedral
The cathedral will, however, be a grand
structure from a material point of view. 1t
will be OF the round arch Gothic type with
notifications, and its erection will require
about twenty years, while it cost is placed
at $40. 000, 900. The first part of the edit
to be completed will be the choir, which
will cost about 81, 600 900. This will seat
$500 people and it will be used for worship
during the completion of the work.
The finished cathedral will seat between
10, 900 and IL, 600 people. 1t will contain
seven chapes, IN which every Sunday the
gospel will be preached in as many foreign
languages TO non English speaking wor-
shippers. The cathedral will be 520 feet in
length, 20G feet wide through the transepts
and the height of the tower will be 4i5 feet.
The lot for the cathedral ia 700 feet square
and it costs $3.50, 900. The dimensions place
the cathedral Of St. John the Divine far
ahead OF any other cathedral OF the Western
world in size and grandeur, as we'll as in
the front rank among the greatest catho-
drals in the world
This largest structure CT this kind on tho
continent at the present time is said to be
the gothic cathedral in the City of Mexico,
which is 500 feet long and 420 feet wide
and which took from 1913 to G I to build.
st. Patrick's Cathedral in New York is 332
feet long and ia feet wide, and with its
towers is 1873 feet high. Tue cathedral in
Lima, Peru, is 800 feot long and 1870 wide.
The gothic cathedral of Notre Dame in
Montreal is 241 feet long and 35 feet wide
and its towers are 2l3 feet high. II can
thus be seen that the now cathedral will
exceed in size the largest on the continent
and in point Of magnifconce it will lie with
ont rival in the new world. 1t will prob
ably be comparatively short time before
cathcdras will be erected in q number OF
the great cities in the country, but prob
j ohm the Divine.

From the Louisville Courer-JournaL1
There is nm occasional Gould, it is true,
who recognizes no claim Of the public upon
his wealth, but there arc also DrexeIs, and
Guilds, and Armours, and Coopers, and
Stsnfords, and Rockefellers, aud long list
OF others, who profess BY oquent deeds
their appreciation OF the Obligations OF
riches. Even Carnegie, albeit with some
what offensive ostentation, manages to
chow a conviction that he owes something
to tho public for his wealth, though his
right hand is always prompt TO inform his
left hand what is gong on. In spite OF the
Goulds and Sages, America is not ashamed
OF her rich men.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Adequate Protection From Firo for Gu
Smaller Vermont villages.

Smaller Vermont villages.
To the Editor of the Free Press.
The question of supplying tho smaller
villages and towns In the State with ade-
quate water facilities to insure safety
against serious confagrations is one upon
which many words have been wasted, but
concerning which substantially nothing hus
been accomplished from a material stand
point. The recent fires OF lS9l-02 In sew
eral towns, some of them bringing heavy
losses, fully demonstrated the need OF nor 0
protection along this limo.
The residents of Shelburne have had an
other gentle reminder In the fire OF Christ
mas eve, whom one of the fiusst residences
in the village narrowly escaped destruction.
The public has from time to time been rude
ly awakened to the Importance of prevon-
tative against fire, but only to make a few
spasmodio efforts and foil back into q
letharglc state. 1t seems to the writer that
n village as prosperous and wealthy as Shell
burne, growing in buildings and property,
with facilities as some have not, could and
should taks some measures toward remedy
ing the present stats OF things The estab
llsnIng OF complete system OF
water works perhaps the slzee OF
the village would not warrant,
but an organized Hook anu Ladder com
pany or Hose company and reservoir or a
number of reservoirs built at suitable dis
tances apart could not but add to the safety
oil public and private property. Real es
tate would naturally become more valuable
aud insurance lighter. Those few suggeo
tons are placed in the hands of the Villag,
Improvement society OF Shelburne or auy
thoughtful persons in any town to consider

IfrUM tLo SprIngheId Union.
Up to 1852 Congress was accustomed to
make an appropriation for the expres,age
on dirty aud wornout currency to the treas
ury department in exchange for clean
money. The cost was less than 500, 900 a
year, mere tris compared with the com
fort aud safety which clean money would
bring. Many OF the rags which are in cir
cuIatlon are disgrace to the government
and some measures should be taken TO re-
place them with clean money. The banks
would undoubtedly undertake the exchange
il they were saved from expense, and the
postoflices should be forbidden to pay out
any but clean currency.

The Springfield Republican makes the
following pertinent comment and inquiry;
"Vermont continues to put its money
Into Western mortgages. The report Of
the inspector Of finance shows an increase
in SUCH investments Of tia hanks Of nearly
81 coo, 0G0 ia 1892 over 1S9l-the largest
Increase recorded in recent years. But the
amount loaned OF home mortgages increased
only 1913, 800. Why not put Vermont
money more into the development OF Yer

The acquittal Of Prof. Briggs on all the
charges made against him will not, it is
feared, settle the Presbyterian controversy.
Those who supported DR.. Smith in the Gin
cinnsti pres by terry have not changed their
opinions because he has been convicted OF
heresy, aud those who opposed Dr. Briggs
are likely TO remain of the same opinion as
regards his offences, in spite of the fact that
a majority voted in his favor. His acouit-
tai is, however victory for the Union
Theological seminary and personal trl-
umPh for DIR. Briggs. Many Presbytarians
are said to believe, however, that there can
not fail to be steady widening of the
