4 STRANGE RACE, INDEED.
crom the Topeka Journa

from the Topeka Journal.
1.-The strange races that dwell west of
the Mississippi, is the contemptuous way
an eastern paper speaks of the people of
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and other
western states. Strange races, indeed!
What kind Of strange races are those
that dwell on the Atlantic seaboard?
Po.es, CZechs, Greeks and what not
The east dare not criticize the west on
nativity. There are more Americans in
Kansas than in Boston, New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City combined. We
are the real Americans. There are more
Union veterans in Kansas in
proportion TO the population than
In any othe- state in the
Union. The idea Of being insuited con-
,inually by foolish editors whose papers
are read by and vino represent semi
European population, Is getting pretty
tiresome to Americans whose ancestors
have lived lii this country goo years.
There are hundreds of thousands of
Kan, ans who can trace their lineage
back that far. If we choose 10 have
new ideas IN this state, it Is certainly our
right; perhaps II Is an evidence of superb
orlty. We ought 10 be proud OF our
grand American state of Kansas.
Nearly every man, woman and child in
this state was born on soil over which
the stars and stripes We're waving when
he was born. We don't propose to be
criticised as "a strange race west of the
MISSISSIPPI" Stand up for Kansas, and
hurrah tor America and Americans.

The first copies of the official state
directory or blue book rs it is called were
issued from the state printing office this
morning to the secretary OF state The
book contains over 100 pages and much
information. 1t Is a credit 10 the office of
the secretary of state where the Compl.ca-
lions were made and particularly TO As
sls.ant Secretary Zercher. who had per-
soual supervision OF the publication 10
pela Journal.
The chief merit in the publication Will
no doubt be found IN its "complications, :"
and If there is any credit attaching there
for, by all means give the secretary and
his assistant all of it, and the full benefit.

BLAINE THE CELT.

The following poem was read by Henry
Austin at the Blaine memorial services in
Boston:
Race counts in fate's dark crucibie; tempera-
ment
Is not spark hap-hazard sent
Through human veins. Inheritance
filings many javeln in the lists of chance
Against the ringing shields of crowding cir
cumstance.
So in his character we trace
The spring, the stately springiness of that
race,
Sublimest in adversify-the Ceit,
Tie uncomfortable Celt, whose eye of fire
st one imaginable touch
Into Il food of splendid tears can melt.
Burning for love and spurning low desire.
Yearning for freedom, higher and yet higher.
The deep, dark eye of Blaine was ever such.

A special telegram bearing Guthrie
dale saws:

dale says:
Several government agents here have
uuearthed IA scheme whereby gigantic
steal is to be perpetrated upon the occa-
sion of the strip opening. At fine loca-
ton IN the strip a fine townste has been
partly surveyed by the agents of wealthy
town company, backed by several con-
gressmen from the south, and agents of
the company are now in hiding IN caves
and ravines, ready to take possession of
the site on the opening day, and hold it
until the members of the company arrive
The matter is being Investigated and a big
sensation is promised.
All of which is probably the product
of the imagination of some sensation
monger. The alleged scheme is 100 big
a thing to escape detection at the open
ing, when the plotters would be ruled
out under the sooner clause in the open
ing proclamation and regulations.

A Queer Lot.

From the Lawrence World.
Those who think that General Artz
will be dismissed by the governor on ac-
count of connections with drunken
orgies in Wichita are not acquainted
with the character and habits of the
state administration. ArtZ will be re-
tanned and if anything be made more of
because he has brought down the wrath
of decent people. These sensationalist
statesmen are queer creatures.

The Topeka Journal, which is about
an 'alf-an''alf tariff reformer, declares
that it isn't ''fear Of tariff changes" that
has shut up the eastern mills as some
would have us believe, but lack of orders.
The journal says: ''If those big mills
had orders for goods they would run
night and day to fill them. If they
feared tariff changes they would run
all the faster to get the goods out before
those changes were made. The man
who says that the eastern mill owners
have closed their mills from fear Of he
future, hasn't got his eyes open. The
people haven't any money TO buy with,
and merchants dare not order goods
That's where the trouble lies. One
would think thai the manufacturers Of
New England would pretty soon get their
eyes opened to the fact that if we lad
more money out west they would be sell
ing us their goods instead Of shutting
their factories.

THE absence of President Cleve
land and his Cabinet from Washing
ton for week is giving them needed
relief from the hands of office seekers
and will no doubt engender the hope
in their minds that on their return
to the capital the ranks OF the hungry
and thirsty will be considerably
depleted. But the hope is likely to
prove fallacious. 1t seems that only
those aspirants who live near enough
to Washington to return quickly
have gone away. Of course there
are other matters of profound i'm
portance pressing upon the admins
tration; but no one can convince the
office seekers that their business is
not paramount to all other consider
atoms whatever.

ACCORDING to the last census
reports there ale over 3 900, 900
bachelors in the United States. by
which it is meant that there are

who have never been married. Now
and then the scheme is advocated of
making neglect Of matrimony statu
tory offence, either by way of tax
discrimination in favor OF married
parties or otherwise. One interest

do not answer is this: "How many
of these 100000 bachelors are
