OUR NEW POLITICAL BOSS.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated appears with
with full front page portrait of Mary
Z. Lease. which is followed by the full
text of her Chicago Inter Ocean inter-
view, which interview, by the way. cost
the Peoples party full more than it ever
cost the Republican central committee.
Mary Ellen is in the saddle. She is a
greater political factor in Kansas than
Queen Victoria is in the British Empire
Under her legal thumb and control are
all the insane of the state. including the
Populist members of the last legislature,
and all the idiots including Artz, Close
and Lewelling. Besides she also
is mistress of the state blind
asylum, the deaf and dumb
asylum and the orphan homes. Irish
men are holding England in hot water,
but that an Irish woman has the dead
cinch on Kansas no one will dispute.
She halls from Wichita. So does Level
ling. And so does the state coal oil in
spector. If we could only claim Artz.
However we are in Jerry Simpsons dis
trlct. PETER also registers from Kansas,
and Wichita is in Kansas. 1t is said
that the president OF the state board of
charities has promised the state coal oil
inspector her own and the assistance of
the state administration, which includes
Artz Of Colorado and Lewelling of Iowa,
in carrying the Demo-Pop city ticket in
Wichita this spring. Mary will manipu-
late tie crank of the machine while
Taylor will furnish the lubricating oil.
Lewelling is going to mount that Cat
ling gun at the corner of Douglas avenue
and Market streets, while Artz marches
the police and militia from poll to poll.
People living in states far removed can
hardly appreciate the luxury of our sit
uation with Mollie Lease on top and
Laura Johns and Anna Diggs in no less
threatening attitudes in the near back
ground. There is no danger Of the
women of Kansas wearing hoops. The
hoops hereafter will be worn by the men.
Mollie has announced her intention of
building several more insane asylums.
She had better just simply wall in the
state and roof it over.

VIII not the new insurance law put r
premium on dishonestya Surprising an
agent stands in" with property. in
sures it for three times its value and in
case Of a loss the company is compelled TO
pay full face of the policy. Somebody is
going TO make money.-Abilepe Reflector.
The imaginary case you set up is not
SO much as supposable one. There is

value of all properties in localities where
they do business, and policies are
passed upon at the head Office or the
office OF the department under which it
is written and to be issued before going
into effect. If the new law shall make
it possible for agents to impose upon the
insurance companies, as suggested. the
companies will find means TO hedge
against such imposition. The purpose
of the law is to protect the insured. the
people, against imposition from agents
or companies whichever may be respon-
sible therefor whenever practiced. and
should be given fair test before it is
30 peremptorily condemned, don't you
think?

The treasury department with all this
available silver money stands ready to
increase the bonded debt of the nation so
that the gold-owners and bondholders
may continue TO control the volume of
money and appropriate to themselves a
greater portion of the products of labor.
Will they do it-dare they do itt-Arkan-
sas City Dispatch, Pop.
Evidently the wish is father TO the
thought, in the foregoing, the desire
being something real autocratic to hop
onto. But, although Secretary Carlisle
has declared that bonds will be ISSUED
if necessary, it is becoming more APP
parent every day that there will be no
such necessity for some time at least.
Let the esteemed possess lis soul in
patience; it will have enough TO fret at
along the line of finances within the
aext twelve months.

For the Eagle.
ST. PATRICK's DAY.
[BY ONE OF THE MAcs.J

Afar DER the waves Of the stormy Atlantic
Is an island that nature made gloriously
grand.
Whose sons and whose daughters, brave, fair
and romantic.
Shed halo of glory around fatherland.
Where e'er we may roam
In search of home
Our hearts viii return back, one day in each
In fealty and truth
TO the friends of our youth.
Who persistently fought against foreign do
And whose perseverance made easy the way
For statesmen to walk in and break every
pnion
That binds BELOVED Erin on st. Patrick's Day.
Dear land of the patriot, bard and musician,
Long hast thou been sleeping in slavery's
night!
Arise from thy sumbers, it is thy grand mis-
sion
To annihilate wrong while unfolding the
right.
The truth will prevail
And the sons of the gael
Will bask in the monday of Llberty's light
Whilst glory and fame
Encircles the name
OF Gladstone, the foremost of earth's legis-
lators,
Who's crowned with glory, time cannot
decay;
Well hail him as greatest of emancipators
With voices exultant on ST. Patrick's Day.
To the land of Columbus, where tyranny never
Expresses the race that to freedom is true,
We offer the hearts and the hands that will
ever
Uphold freedoms banner. the red white and
blue.
Should liberty's foes
But dare to oppose
The star-spangled banner, how quickly would
Arise in our might
And be first in the fight.
The land that Colu;n bus discovered shall never
From the cause of humanity be led astray.
Let monarchy's minons come on we will ever
Rush first to the battle on ST. Patrick's Day.
In the land Emmett died for, law meant perse-
cutiOn.
'Twas fierce as Satanic malevolence could
frame,
But generous hearted we grant absolution
To foes unenlighteded by Liberty's flame.
The bonds of good will
Shall grow firmer until
They unite in one brotherhood. sect, race and
clan.
Then orange and green
In one flag shall be Seen.
When the land where my first sigh was heard
is nation.
The goblets shall flow and the harpers shall
play,
The rose and the thistle will pour libation
To the shamrock of Erin on st. Patrick'S
Day.

1.-THE HUB
Some of tho characteristics of Boston
New and Old.

New and Old.
Boston has certainly stood, from an
early time, in the history of the coun-
try for certain quality of combined
thrift and ardor which has made it to
some extent an individual city It's
very cows. during it's rural period,
shared this attribute, from the time
when they laid out it's streets by their
devious wanderings. to the time when
"Lady Hancock" as she was called,
helped herself to milk from the cows of
her fellow-citizens to meet sudden
descent of official visitors upon her hus-
band, the governor. From the period
when Boston was a busy little colonial
mart-the period best described in
Hawthorne's Province House Lee
gends" and my Kinsman Major
Molineux'-through the period when,
as described in Mrs Quincy's remi-
niscences, the gentlemen went to
Kings Chapel in scarlet cloaks, dow n
to the modern period OF transconti-
mental railways and great manufactur-
ing enterprises, the city has at least
aroused peculiar LOYALTY on the part
of all its citizens. Behind all the thun-
ders of Wendall Phillips eloquence
there lay always the strong local pride
81 love inexpressibly, he said, these
streets of Boston. over which my moth
err held up my ba byofsotsteps; and If
God grants me time enough, I will
make them too pure to be trodden by
the footsteps of slave" He lived to

surrendered slave. Anthony Burns.
marching in hollow square formed
by the files of the militia, Phillips lived
TO see the fair-hsired boy, Robert
Shaw, riding at the head of his black
regiment to aid in securing the free
dom of a race.
During the revolution, Boston was
the center of those early struggles on
which it is now needless TO dwell
Faneuil hall still stands-the place
where, in 1874, letter as TO grievances
was ordered TO be sent TO the other
towns in the state; the old statehouse
is standing where the plans suggested
by the Virginia house of burgesses were
adopted: the old South church remains,
whence the disguised Indians Of the
Boston Tea-party went forth, and
where Dr.. Warren, On March 5, ITS.
defed the British officers, and when
one OF them held up warningly some
pistol-bullets, dropped his handker-
chief over them and went on. The old
North or Christ church also remains,

ride, on the eve Of the battle of Lexing-

The California legislature. just before
Its adjournment last week, passed a con-
current resolution submitting to the peo-
pie a proposition TO remove the state
capital from Sacramento City to some
other point. The inspiration for this act
being spirit OF revenge against local
paper "that thanked God the session of
the Legislature was at an end" it is hard
ly to be presumed that the proposition
will carry at the polls. 1t is more than
probable large majority of the people
of the state Endorsed the sentiment of
the paper. The California legislature
was a sort of Kansas affair.

THE DEMOCRATIC howl.
From the New York World.

Z toHi the New 4 fk w ORD.
The session Of congress just closed APP
propriated about 1919, 600, 900. The long
session appropriated over $500, coo. 600.
SO that the total sum spent by tn fifty
second congress viii exceed 81, OF, 900,
wv. This surpasses the record of the
hrst billion dollar congress, which merit
ed and received the severe condemna
ton OF the people. The Democratic
house must receive its full share of the
blame for this reckless extravaganza.
1t has been false to the pledge upon
which 1T was elected. 1t has discredited
Democracy. And yet it is not, as the
Republicans would make cut, wholly to
blame for this disgraceful record.
Nearly every appropriation as passed by
the house, in which these bills originate.
was increased by the Republican senate.
The aggregate of these additions is not
yet figured out, but it will, judging by
the past, more than equal the amount by
which the total exceeds a billion dollars.

It's Adam and Eve Were the Romantic Par.
ents of Cattle King Murphy.
Catalina island, across the bay from
Santa Barbara, has q story that at
tracts eastern tourists to its shores, !"
said W. w. Hurt
I'm the early days when the Fran
ciscans dominated the Pacific coast, this
island played an important part in the
history of that period. The old mon
astery which stands on an eminence
back of Santa Barbara was haven of
rest for the franciscan fathers and
monks on their way from Mexico to the
mission Dolores at San Francisco or
the monastery at Monterey. The occu-
pants of the island were constantly
changing. and frequently it was de-
serted for weeks with the exception of
the monks left in charge. 1t is great
curiosity to eastern visitors to this day.
especially the dark and noisome dun
geons dug deep into the mountain ris-
ing hundreds of feet above the old
Spanish dome.
ut is related that a Mexican ranchero
on the coast of Lower California had an
attracted much attention from the
wealthy young men of the surrounding
country; and, indeed, her rare beauty
was matter of comment even in court
circles during her stay in the City of
Mexico, where her education was fin
Ished. During that time an attache of
the American legation fell deeply in
love with Sannrlfa ord his attain.
tons were SO agreeable to the young
senorita that she became greatly at
tached to him. This state of affairs
was discovered by the priests. and her
father was at once notified that his
daughter was going beyond the bounds
of the church and forming an alliance
with a foreigner. Being under control
OF the Franciscans and fearing their
power, the father consented to surren-
der the girl to the church. Without
warning she was abducted from the
City of Mexico and taken long,
weary ride over the mountains,
and after weeks of uninterrupted
journeying reached Santa Barbara,
where she was kept under sur
Vigilance in the monastery. In some
manner she managed to send word to
her American lover, acquainting him
with all that happened, and begging
him to come to her rescue.
''The young man bravely undertook
the hazardous journey and reached
Santa Barbara in safety. Awaiting his
opportunity he rescued the young seno-
rita from the priests, VINO, it is said.
had almost driven her crazv with grief
and fear, and together the couple es-
capped to Catalina island. The whole
surrounding country was searched for
miles. though no one thought of the
little island ten miles at sea. These
two young people lived for weeks on
Catalina, their only food being shellfish
and what fnny denizens they could
catch. Finally they were taken off by
some sailors from whaier. They had
come ashore for water Later the
couple reached San Francisco and
joined Gen. John C. Fremont's forces,
where they were married by the chap
lain of the camp. They had a son, and
to-day he is known over the entire Pa
cifc coast as Murphy, the Cattle King,
who is said to be the largest landowner
in the world. Chicago Tribune.

TO DOUGLASS AND HIS HOUSE,

Taylor Miller, the head of the firm
owning and operating the Golden Belt
elevator at Salina, Kan, writes the
EAGLE thanking Mr.. Douglass, and the
Republican house through him, for the
passage of the railroad scales and grain
shortage bill, which Mr.. Miller writes
must prove of great advantage to both
producers and shippers. He regrets the
refusal of the senate to pass the Greenlee
bill which, in his judgment, as a ship
per, was what all Kansas needs in the
direction of railway legislation.

The roof of 1.-THE MacKaye Specta-
torium," which the Columbian Celebra-
ton company is building at Chicago,
will be as unlike other roofs as is the
building dissimilar from other theatrical
structures. This roof weighs over
100000 pounds, and is sufficiently
strong TO sustain the largest train of
loaded freight cars that ever was pulled
on any railroad in the world. Even the
raising of it was a novelty, inasmuch as
1t was necessary to employ the use of a
sixty-five ton, two-arm derrick TO swing
the immense trusses into position at an
altitude of 10 feet The trusses weigh
from thirty 10 fifty-five tous each.

Solomon to George.


From the Troy CHEZ.
To George Martin: We CONFESS that
the foolerv of trying to make Kansas
City out of Wyandotte has confused us.
We supposed that all those towns at the
mouth of the Kaw, on the Kansas side,
had been consolidated into one city, and
that it was no longer necessary TO give
each one different name. by the way
are you not little muddled yourself,
when you say that the number % will
hereafter be more significant than the
300 in the Chicago convention OF 1880:
That IS will never represent anything
but disgrace 1t was the number that
tried TO count itself more than 81.

Preventive for Hog Cholera.

A Georgia farmer has discovered a
simple and successful remedy for dis
eases of all kinds among hogs. Pre-
vious to the discovery of this remedy,
Mr.. Smith lost large number of hogs
from cholera. The farmers will appre-
ciate the simple remedy. The remedy
is ball potash. The food is put in a
trough and the potash is mixed thor
oughly with the food. One ball Of pot
ash is sufficient for fifty hogs. The dose
is repeated about every two months.
The hogs are slow to eat the mixture at
first but they will soon learn to eat il.

A Fool Fad.
From the Emporla Republican.

A Kansas City. Kan, woman has an
mounced herself as candidate for
mayor of that town. OF course this will
be pointed to as an evidence that women
are taking a greater interest in politics
and want to vote. but as a matter of
fact it is only foolish fad, that was
started in the first place as joke. 1t

towns, and the probability is that IL will
never gain foothold enough to have a
run in the larger towns.

The Lesson of Experience.

From the Kansas CITY Mail.
Though every man has been well ac-
quainted with women since he was born,
not one man in twenty seems to have
learned how 10 manage them. For
instance, if the women had made up
their minds not to wear crinolines. the
passing of bills in the legislature to
make crinoline wearing crime, would
inaugurate crinoline boom that would
sweep the country like a cyclone. The
little experience man has with his wife
should teach him that legislating for
women is failure.
