A NEWSPAPER MAN.
One Reason for the Success of
Senator PETER.
New York Recorder.


PETER is a newspaper man. but climbed
up the royal road. Four or five years ago
he was doing editorials for the Topeka
Capital. They were red-hot Republican
editorials and they sizzed with protection
Then some men in TopeSa thought they
would start a paper for the farmers. They
called it the Kansas Farmer and they luz
tended to keep it out of politics. They
looked around for an editor 10 talk crops
with the grangers and they found PETER.
They gave little bigger salary and he
turned his pen to the service of agriculture
Just then the Farmers Alliance sprang into
existence. 1t wasn't political organiZt-
ton and PETER thought it would be a fine
scheme TO make the Farmer its State
organ. That pleased all the owners, but
when politics began to creep into the
alliance and PETER indicated an intention to
follow into the new field, there was a split
among the stockholders. The alliance men
were il the majority. PETER had his way
and he came ont as a most rampant advo-'
cate of all the third party vagarieS. Within
two months he had become famous in kan-
sas, but his name had not reached WASH
ington. He propounded a series of qnes-
tiOnS for Ingalls, 10 answer, and when :
newspaper man went to the Senator with
the list the statesman read them over con-
temptuously and then inquired with an
ironical infection, Who is this man

man PETER" was occupying Mr.. Ingalls,
seat in the Senate, and all because he knew
how to write the kind of editorials that 60.

TOMB OF A ROMANTIC PAST.
Venice No Longer a Living City, but
Merely Vast Museum.
scrioner's Magazine.

Venetian life in the large old sense has
since come TO an end and the essential pres
ent character OF the most melancholy of
cities resides simply in its being the most
beautiful of tombs. Nowhere else has ths
past been laid to rest with such tenderness,
such sadness of resignation and remem-
brance. Nowhere else is the presen: so
alien, so dlseontinuous. so like a crowd iu
cemetery without garlands for the graves.
1t has no flowers IN its hands, but as a cGm-
pensation. perhaps-and the thing is doubt
less more to the point-it has money and little
red books. The everlasting shuttle in the
piazza OF these irresponsible visitors is con-
temporary Venetian life. Everything else is
only reverberation of that. The vast maui
solemn has turnstile az the door, and q
functionary in a shabby uniform lets you
in, as per tariff, TO see how dead
IL is. From cold curiosity proceed
all the industry, the prosperity, the
vitality of the place The sh0pkeepers and
gondoliers, the beggarS and the models,
depend upon IL for living; they are the
custoGians and the ushers of the great mu-
scum - they are even themselves to
certain extent the objects on exhibition. Ii
is in the wide yeStbule Of the square that
the pnlyglot pilgrims gather most densely;
Piazza San Marco is like the lobby of The
opera in the intervals of the performance.
The present fortune of Venice, the lament
able difference is most easily measured
there, and that is why, in the effort to resist
our pessimism. we must turn away both
from the purchasers ana frbta the vendors
of ricordi.

for you to consult a respectable attorney.
You will have to state TO him many facts
not mentioned in your statement. and which
he will ask you about. knowing we'll that
they will be relied OH by the other side. If
your claim is worth suit at all, 1t is worth
the advice OF an attorney made acquainted
