NEW YORK VS.. CHICAGO.

When Chicago captured the worlds
fair New York received shock from
which she has never recovered. The
staid old town on Long Island Sound
thought. it would be eminentIy improper
to hold the fair in the wild and woolly
west, and never for moment thought
that Chicago would be equal to the task
of doing credit to this country. The re-
suit is that Chicago has not only done
her part creditably. but without doubt
put the fair upon a scale OF grandeur
never dreamed of by the pokey
New Yorker, and the result is
they are sulking in their tents
and are taking their summer
outings across the pond and telling their
foreign friends that the Chicago side
show is positively vulgar. There is
probably more snobs to the square inch
in New York than any other place on
the footstool. But the New York bank
ers are not among the number and their
conduct during the recent financial de-
preston shows that they are the salt or
New York and stand out in bold con-
trast with the hoggishness OF the Chicago
who are Dragging that they
have more than double their legal re-
serve while New York IS some millions
below that point. Had New York banks
.aken the course that the Chicago banks
have this country would be in a much

We note with some surprise that a
number of Southern Kansas papers are
publishing the Chicago Tribune's strict
ures upon Governor dwellings PROPOSE
ton to send representatives To Chicago
10 confer with representatives from
European countries at the worlds fair to
facilitate more direct trade relations be-
tween this state and section ANA foreign
peoples. 1t is easy enough to under
stand the motive that prompts Chicago
to criticise and denounce the proposition.
but it is difficult TO comprehend how
anybody in Kansas can do so; especially
when the scheme, if successful. will
benefit everybody in the state, and if it
fails will injure no one.

The state of North Carolina has for
years been paving a pension to its dis
abled Confederate soldiers. The amount
in each case is small, compared to that
drawn by federal soldiers from the gem
eral government for similar disabilities,
but still it is source of relief in very
many cases. The state auditor says that
the pension fund this year will be little
over $l00,0 900. There is a soldiers home
in Raleigh, supported partly by the state
and largely by public subscriptions,
where number of totally disabled
Confederate veterans are cared for. And
not the least noticeable thing connected

LONG MEMORIES.
A Pair of Characteristic Stories of French
Diplomatists.


Diplomstists.
Some Characteristic stories of French
diplomatists are told by Baronne
| d'Oberkirch in her Memories"
When Prince Stahremberg was
Austrian ambassador to France, the
Due de Choiseul was French minister
of foreign affairs. Stahremberg made
a call of ceremony upon the minister,
who made him wait SO long that he be-
nounced second time. Then he was
asked to wait a moment longer.
He was indignant, and threatened to
complain to the king. When he was
introduced into De Choiseul's presence
he cried:
Monsieur, for an hour you have
kept waiting in an anteroom the am
bassador of his majesty. the emperor,
my master. Is this in accordance
with some new political fancy? How
shall I take this yelled insult? We're
you busy?"
Il confess" said De Choiseul, sInil-
ing calmly, that was not particular

the court of Vienna. There. under

could not do better than to initiate
him
The prince thought this reply so
witty that he could not help laughing
and telling the story TO all OF his
friends, and this was no doubt the
most polite way to accept the situa-
ton.

Kansas City Gazette: "Mr. Patterson,

a condition as the present in which the
American people find themselves should

Mr. Patterson viii doubtless agree with
the Republicans in general that the sill

STAND FOR THE BEST.

The EAGLES suggestion, the other day.
that the coming Republican county con-
vention, in the nomination of its can
didates, look more to the standing and
ability OF the man than oany personal
claims he might put forth, struck a
public chord whose responsive vibrations
come back to us. Look to the fitness, to
the qualification of the nominee no less
than to his party adherence. Hunt up
good men without reference TO what
ward-work they may have done, morally
and politically sound men without
reference to their ability to carry their
townships in their pockets. If the Re-
publican party expects to clean out a
fusion that Is strong because it embraces
all the pap-suckers and wire pullers of
two or three parties, whose only ambition
is office, then we must have such
men for nominees as will not only COM
maTd respect but command the solid
Republican vote Don't for moment
believe that LewellIng is in office, today,
and that the great Republican state Of
Kansas is being run by a lot of nincom-
poops from Colorado like Artz, because
of the combination or fusion of Demo-
Gratis and Populists. 1t was Republican
votes that made Pop administration
possible. Unaided by discontinued Re-
pubhcans LeweIing would have been
defeated by thousands.
Let the delegates to the county con-
vention, from ward aud township, alike,
refrain from promises and commitments
Of every character, and when the day
arrives nominate the best men and only
the best, and there will be no trouble in
cleaning out the fusion gang.
