The great state of Kansas is the home OF
reasureless discomfort. Not long ago it
gave over whelming ma ori,ies for the Re
publican party. It Is the home Of Ingalls, who
said, Political reform was an iridesceut
dream" and that the "Decalogue is out Of
place in politics! campaign"
Kansas is IN a worse condition now than
any southern state was HLen the south was
the prey of carpet-baggers Gnd their allies,
the blacks. The people are divided ag6lnst
each other. The farmers are against the
business and professional men, and the re-
publicans and populists occupy a warlike
position toward each other. The republicans
have legislature and so have the populists,
and each legislature is passing bills with the
utmost speed. Only a few days ago the
representatives Of the two parties faced each
other 10 the state capitol with arms in their
hands They are still in a fighting humor,
and all through the state the people are
talking war
The governor distrusts his militia and so
is dismissing the republican colonies and
captains and putting populists in their
places. He will be ready with his little
army III low uAYS 70 command OD6ulonCe
to his will.
Everything is in confusion. There seems
to be no recognized authority. The re-
publicans pay little attention TO the governor
and the populists declare they will not
recognize the supreme court. Anarchy is
not far off. The need of strong hand and
a clear head Is felt.
And Kansas is the state whose people
have been taught by Ingalls, and who have
admired Reed-a people who would have
been glad if carpet-bag rule had been per-
manently fastened upon the south. They
don't seem able to manage their own affairs
successfully. Too many of them followed
Mrs. Lease for the good of the state. 1t
viii take years to repair the damage which
has been done the state already. What the
outcome Of the present chaotic condition Of
affairs will be no one can tell. II there
had been more Of the decalogue and less of
Ingalls, and Lease In Kansas politics the
state probably would be far better off than
it is.

Gave Maria q Lesson.

Evidently there is no Servant Girls Pro
tective Union in London, or if there is the
young woman mentioned below did not belong
to it, says the EDtC0rth Herald. Think of such
thing happening to one of our own toplofty
servant girls! A German merchant In London
has a servant who at first was very forgetful.
This fault was especially annoying at meal
times, when something essential was sure to be
lacking from the tanle. One day the family
was seated at the table and the bell was rung as
usual the girl hurried to the dining room
Maria. 4" said Herr B., Just run and fetch
the big stepladder down from the attic and
bring it here" Maria, who had been disturbed
at her dinner, gave a grunt of dissatisfaction,
but ran up three fights OF stairs to fetch the
ladder. In about five minutes she returned to
the room, painting with her exertion.
Now" said Herr b, put it up at that end
OF the room and climb to the top
Maria did as she was told and when she was
at the top Herr B-quietly observed
Maria, you have now got a better view than
we have; just look around and tell us If you can
see any salt on the table. Ny wife and could
not find it,"
This settled the business. Maria has never
forgotten the lesson.

rha Maior,a Fish Story.

Maj II. P. Ritzius, the United States recruit
ing officer. tells great fish story, says the
Posr-RSpress. II happened in 1870. ITO begin
at the beginning" said the major th. morning,
IN 1859 was stationed at Ship Island, IN ina
Gulf Of Mexico. Col Bliss was in command OF
the post and 1 was adjutant. In the summer
eight monster fish appeared in the harbor.
Ihey would come quite close TO the wharf and
jump half out of the water. Several OF the SOL
dlers shot at them, and, from the trail or blood
they left on the water, we knew they had been
hit. Nevertheless, they appeared again the
next day. When fall came they went away,
but returned in the summer OF 1870. Col. Bliss
expressed q desire that one Of the fish should be
caught.
Accordingly the quartermaster. couple Of
soldiers and myself started out In small sail
boat one morning. We had provided ourselves
with harpoons, with plenty of rope attached.
Pretty soon we sighted one Of the fish, aud soon
had harpoon in him. He Immediately dove
down, and remained under water FOR some time
de was moving off, however, as we could tell by
the way our line was paying out. Pretty soon
he reappeared, and We sunk another harpoon In
him. He dove again. This performance was
repeated until we had eight harpoons in the
fish. BY this time we had been towed out ten
miles and y ere rapidly nearing the sea, which
we could not face with our small boat. We dis
liked to let go the fish, however, as we could tell
BY his struggles he was nearly wlnded When
he came up again we could see he was nearly
dead, as he made but feeble efforts to get away.
IL was not long before the revenue cutter VII
dernesS, which vas cruising near by, hove IN
sight and took US aboard Our prize, which we
should not have been able to tow in, was Sc
cured by ropes to the cutter and taken TO the
wharf. We managed to get it on one of the
hand cars used to carry provisions from the
wharf TO the post and conveyed is to the bar,
racks. There it was placed on a scafolding and
measured.
Tine fish was IS feet long, Is feet wide and
feet through. This may sound 'fshy,' but those
are actual measurements. We could not weigh
the monster entire, but cut him up into pieces.
He weighed 1,SG0 pounds in all. He had no
teeth, so we supposed he lived on matter
gathered In the water as he swan along. His
flesh was not good to eat. but was of the same
consistency as Unretined cod liver OIL There we're
but few bones in the body, as we could see where
our bullets had gone entirely through it. l
don't know If the shosl of fish appeared after
ward, as we were ordered away that fall. We
we're unable to find out what species of fish ii
was We sent one of the photographs to the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington. but
none of the people there had ever heard of such
fish. He was broadcast across what might be
called the shoulders. attached to which were
ins-fioats, they might be properly called
with which he propelled himself. l have often
wondered what species of fish he was, but sup
pose l shall never find out"

Sectional Feeling Disappearing.

It has not been many years since the ap-
the secretaryship OF the war or navy de-
partment would have been bitterly con-
demned by the northern republican press
The bitter feeling that grew out of the war
OF secession has, however, about disap-
peared. Mr. Cleveland has not been con-
demned for Offering the navy portfolio TO
Representative Herbert, of Alabama, aud
no unkind words have been spoken of Mr..
Herbert since he accepted the position. On
the contrary, many kind and compliment
puhlcaua aud republican papers.
The loading republican paper, the New
York Tribune, said, when it was announced
that Mr.. Herbert would be Secretary of the
Navy, that the appointment was ga con-
spicuously excellent one" 1t expressed the
opinion that his policy would be "a liberal
and enlightened one."
Mr.. Herbert is the first ex-confederate
soldier to lie called TO the head of military
branch of the government. That no protest
has been raised anywhere is convincing
proof that the day of sectional bitterness is
past. Neither IN congress nor in political
campaigns will attempts be seriously made
again to make political capital by appeals
10 sectional feeling. In the next national
campaign a popular southern man would
stand as good a chance Of being elected
President as an eastern or a woctern man.

Not much to brag on, SO to speak,
Yet, declare,
Few men can boast the deed he's done
And twenty heroes rolled in one
Cannot compare

He has no scars of battle, sir
He was not there.
He never tore the banner off

The scardest man you ever saw,
He never listed. and the war

He did not mount ladder, sir,
When none did dare,
And fetch some maiden 60 the ground
With fire raging all around,
Then melt in air;
Nor did he plunge into the tide
To save dotiDg mothers pride.
Nothing so blRre
