In his bombastic pronunciamento re-
fusing bounty due 10 the state of Texas,
on the sugar produced by the state on its
convict farm, Governor Hogg made this
rather remarkable declaration: For
the sake of the masses. now taxed be-
yond endurance through the vicious, in
siduous tariff system; for the respect due
her people; for the preservation of her
own Independence; for the perpetuity of
sound principles of government, the
state of Texas now, and SO long as | am
governor, shall treat this sugar bounty
with derisiye contempt" The tax on the
masses to provide the aggregate sum
necessary to pay the sugar bounty-the
bulk of which goes to the south. though
it Is paid by the entire nation-ls about
- cents per capita. while the tariff on
the sugar imported before the bounty
law was enacted amounted TO 81 per
capita. Principle practically applied
has no force or point III it, in the estima-
ton of some people, when 1t conflicts
with principle based upon theory.

FERRY AND GAMBETTA,

Widely Different in Nature. But Both
Hated the Regime OF Napoleon.
A writer in the Paris Figaro draws a
comparison between Ferry and Gam
beta, than whom apparently it would
be difficult to find two men more wide
" different. Gambetta partly owed
his wonderful popularity to his lively
and enthusiastic nature, which enlist
ed sylnpathies and won him friends
everywhere, while Ferry, proud. stiff
and sarcastic, chilled and repeued
Gambetta once told Ferry, lauehingly,
that he was q rose tree, on which
there grew only thorns. Yet the two
were good friends, and at one time
lunched together regularly once
week. 1t was their hatred of the i'm
2perial regime that united them.

FORGOT HE WAS ON FOOT.
An Absent-Minded Doctor Who Thought
He Was Driving a Slzittish Horse.


DR.. $ was noted among his pro-
fessional brethren for his power OF con-
centration. When once he bent his
mind to a problem he became totally
oblivious of everything about him.
The doctor, according to Connecticut
exchange, had horse that was almost
as famous as himself. Among her pc
culiarities was the habit of shying-
She would not shy at things which
most horses consider fit subjects for
that sort of depression. She would pay
no attention whatever to q newspaper
blowing about the streets, but was
mortally afraid OF a covered wagon. At
the sight of one of New Ravens subur-
ban stages she would run over the
curbstone and threaten not only the
doctors life, but that of the chance
passer. OF this habit she could not be
broken. It seemed as though she could
smell a stage long before it came in
sight, SO that the doctor would go half
dozen blocks ont of the way rather
than meet one. Early one morning he
received a telephone call to the effect

alarmingly worse. Without waiting
for his carriage, he started to walk the
distance, being about mile. His mind
became at once absorbed in the case,
but not so much so that he did not re-
member that the course of the Sey-
mour stage lay right to his path. He
looked at his watch and saw that he
would be sure 10 meet it if he went
the shortest way, He was in a hurry to
get to his patient, but there was no
help for it. He uttered malediction
over the circumstances and turned off
at the first corner. This obliged him
to nearly double the distance, and the
day was warm. He walked as he never
walked before. and failed TO recognize
a couple of intimate friends whom he
nearly ran over. 1t was not until he
had spent two hours with his patient
and come out to look for his horse that
he began to realize that he had walked
a mile out of his way SO that he need

OUR GOVERNOR POET.

The whole state is grinning over Gov
ernor Lorenzo Demosthenes dwellings
Decoration day poem. The Wichita ex-
commission merchant and chattel mort
gagor has made, indeed, brilliant hit
along the lines of rhythmic literature.
His effort shows what a man may do
and still hold his job as the ideal head
of political party that stands up on
the dawn of the twentieth century and
swears that fifty-eight are more than
sixty-three. The governors heroine,
who dies at the end of the first act,
turns up alive and kicking high in the
third. He seems to run more to the
dramatic or tragedy assonance than to
the love-drinking lyric of the maca-
ronics, as will be seen by this single
strophe taken from the body of about
column and a half, which all the Pop
and Fusion papers are reproducing. For
the full effect read aloud in the catchy
intonations of steam calliope:
oh blackness. darkness. deathly night,
Dank sbadowy den OF murders sprlte,
GTave-fobbInS vampires sure retreat,
Where Sliostly devils sit and eat.
And smack their Its with hellish grin,
Drinking the putriQ matter in,
Where COLLINS dance round hofrid thrones,
IN gusto crushing humta bones,
I'LL pa!lld ghOuls Shrek with delight,
reeking, dreadful, eCbong night"

BUTTONS SPEECH.

The Capital is after Ralph for that
speech he made in Wichita. That paper
SAYS that jeff Davis was eulogized, but
Burton declares that no such thing was
intended, that he simply attempted to
tell the truth of jeff Davis as history
will record it, dispasionately, extenuat-
ing naught as partizan nor sertin g
down ought in prejudice.
The Capital gocs on to say: "Mr.
Burton's eulogy OF jeff Davis was i'll
timed at best. Every great southern
newspaper admits that the result of the
war was for the best. Southern orators
agree in expressions OF loyalty to the
Union. The southern people have
learned something, but Jeff Davis was
traitor to the last and rever recognized
the United States OF America. 1t was
his influence that retarded the express
sions of loyalty to the Union which are
now invariably uttered by the leading
papers of the south.

THAT CUT RATE.

The Santa Fe announces cut to
Chicago end the worlds fair from Mis-
souri, river points. Why not make it a
blanket rate from Kansas: That road
gives Colorado rate. Why not Kan
sas: There are points in Kansas as far
from the Missouri river as the Missouri
river is from Chicago. Kansas as q
souri, river, except an enforced interest,
and that in the nature OF freight rob-
berry, compelled by a combine of rail
ways. The Missouri river touches but
four counties in Kans&s-four counties
out of one hundred. The Missouri river
is no longer even a terminal point for
the Santa Fe. Kansas is of more i'm
portance now, has been in the past, and
will be for all the future, to the Santa Fe
than Missouri and Colorado combined.
What the Santa Fe passenger depart
ment should do and that which it will
pay it to do, is to make blanket rates re-
spectively for Kansas, for Oklahoma, for
Texas, for Colorado and for New Mexico
to Chicago and return. 1t will pay and
no other way will The man who lives
in Hamilton or in, Ford or in Shawnee
county should 60 to this great worlds
fair occasion on the Santa Fe for the
man goes. plus the loss of individual
extra time, cost of a greater number Of
meals, etc. The blanket rate will catch
the thousands who otherwise will re-
main at home And Sc with other states
traversed by the Santa Fe system. OF
course Colorado, Mexico and Texas
would expect to pay, each, a proper
iCnately higher blanket rate than Okla
homa or Kansas, but a blanket rate for
each state is the thing. 1t makes the
average kansan tired to talk to
him of Missouri river rate.
Just as well talk to him of
a Mississippi river rate. Far
better of q Kaw river or an Arkansas
river rate, because those latter rivers
traverse the state and are in reach of
large per cent. of the states inhabitants.
This Missouri river gag is becoming not
only extensively mOnotonous but outrage

preciated by traffic managers and pas
sengers agents who have their head
quarters in Chicago, but of which presi-
dents, general managers and directors
