THE SULTAN OF JoHoRE.

Exchange.
Look on the map of Asia and pick ont
the southernmost point of the continents;
that is Johore. The strait of Malacca-
gave this part of the world such q
sanguinary reputation-washes the shores
OF the s%ultanate of Johore and
dashes its tepid waters up to the very
bottom of the long flight of marble steps
that leads to the royal istana or palace.
The house of Johore once ruled the PENN
sula. Sumatra and the islands between;
to-day Its territories are NO larger than
the State of Massachusetts,. and its SUBJ
jects have fallen from probably three
million. possibly more. 10 fewer than
500. 000. Yet to-day the revenue of this lit
tie remnant of an mplre 10 greater than
the revenue of the original state. The
country is covered with q network of mac
adamlzed roads that would put the high
ways of Massachusetts to everlasting
shame. and it's system of government Is
simple. HIS Highness receives all the rev.
enue and spends il all. In case his
Highness should wish to follow the OK
ample of the Sand wlch Islands and present
his kingdom to Mr.. Cleveland while in this
country attending the exposition. ir would
be impossible for the astute Senators to
find such q country on the map OF the
world. England prints the maps, and
prints JohOre as q part of her colonial pos
sessions.
The income of the country is over Sc. OOO.-
900 q year. and the expenditure for running
the government 500, 900, which leaves q big
balance to spend on the Improvement OF
the country and on himself. The prin-
cipal sources of revenue are the opium
and spirit monopolies and an export
tax on gambier aud tin. The Sultan
has advanced q step hey ond the theories of
Henry George IN the management of his
agricultural ands. All land belongs to
the crown. Any one can have, rent and
tax free. all the soil he can work. To have.
and hold. and bequeath, as long as it IS
kept under cultivation. The moment 1t
is neglected il reverts. with all Its i'm
provements. TO the own to be given TO
some more worthy worker. The Chinese,
of whom there are about 200 600 in the
country. are allowed to smoke opium or
drink spirits OH the payment of 81 q month
and registry. The system works like u
charm.
The Sultan is the possessor of $10.O00.0 900
worth of precious stones. mostly dia-
monds. When he appears in full court
regalia he il q perfect blaze of diamonds
from head to foot. In personal appearance
his Highness stands five feet eight inches
high. His features are clear cut and mo-
bile. his hair and mustache gray. bis hands
and feet small, and his bearing digniied
aud graceful. He has paid severa, visits to
Europe. and on his way TO the worlds fair
Is going there on his way to take the waters
at Carlsbad. He will be accom- panied by
his personal secretary and some twenty
native princes.

Too Busy for Enmity.

When l hear men or women at
tributing a lack of success in any di"
rectiOn to the Vaccinations OF their
enemies, l involuntarily smile at the
egotistical assertion. People are in
general too much engrossed, each by
his own affairs, to make any very &C.
tive war against each other. Jealous,
envious, rancorous they often are, but
to wage positive hostilities, they are
for the most part too Indifferent.
This prOneneSS to attribute our mis-
chan ces to enemies is merely one OF
the refugees of our self-lOve. Ad-
uniting possible exceptions, it may
be said emphatically that We are
none Of us anybOdy'S enemy but our
own. We are all, however, our own
enemies. The tongue that truly de-
tracts from our credit and glory IS
our own tongue; the hand that most
mercilessly deSpOils us Of our proper
ty is our own hand. All the real
murders in this world-that is, apart
from the mere commonplace killings
of men and women-are self-murders.
Conceit tells us a different tale, and
We are too ready to lay on the flatter-
ing JUNCTION. But all great successes,
all the grander triumphs. will be in
proportion to our seeing the truth as
it really stands; namely, that the
hardest obstacles, the most real dan.
gers, lie in the perverse impulses OF
own nature.

Ia the Colonel veracious:

L fought battle once with wooden
cannon, and won 1t. too" said Col. j.
c. Gailor, at the Laclede. 1t was dur
ing the Mexican war. l was sent out
from Santa Fe with scouting party Of
twenty-four men, and We were headed
off near the Mexican line by 200 Of the
most Misunderstanding greasers that
ever cut a throat or shot a brave man
in the back. We got into a wooded
gorge and threw up a breastwork OF
loose rocks and earth across the mouth
of it. felt sure the Mexicans would
make rush for US that night under
cover Of the darkness, and decided to
fix UP a surprise for them. We carried
q small chest Of tool with US, and In the
outfit was q long-stemmed two-inch
augur. We felled six tough oak trees,
sawed of a section of the stems and
transformed them into cannon. We
loaded them with pistol balls and flint
gravel, mounted them and waited. Just
before daylight the Mexicans came. We
waited until they were within fifty yards,
then opened on them with our battery.

timber in your life. Artillery was the
last thing they expected to encounter.

II am certain our farmers want the

Town Robbers.
From the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
There are lot Of political nincom.
poops in Kansas whose sole stock in
trade is in personal abuse OF every man
who has invested money and enterprise
in the state. Not long ago We heard
two of these fellows talking on railroad
train. They we're cursing the mer-
chants, the banks and the railroads.
They were so loud in their talk about
''town robbers" that, upon arriving at
the station where We all got of, We
made inquiry as to their names and
standing. One Of them. We learned,
was a farmer who loaned out to his
neighbors, upon mortgage security,
three thousand dollars, and made oath
to the assessor, that his personal prop
erty did not exceed the two hundred
dollars exemption. The other was a
man under indictment for stealing hogs
from his neighbors. Their visit to town
was to attend meeting to resolve that
I'VE are on the verge, of moral, political
and financial ruin" and that I'VE will
send YOU q carload OF men to help sub
due the robbers rebellion" at Topeka.
OF course 1T takes all sorts Of folks to
make world" but We beg to state
that Kansas has more than its share Of
that particular kind OF material. Occu-
patton alors does not make men good.
There are bad men in all lines of bust
ness. but the town robbers" as they
are called, need not fear comparison
with their loud-mouthed critics of the
kind herein described.

Thieves and RaScalS.

From the Wichita Eagle.
"All republicans are thieves and ras.
GALS" says Lewelling's latest manifesto.
How quickly and surely do evil COM
munications corrupt good manners.
Lewelling himself came to Wichita but
q short time since, an ultra Iowa pro-
hibition republican. He even left his
Wichita home for Topeka apparently
respecting himself, and certainly re-
spected by his republican neighbors.
But how quickly he fell into the above
and like shameful mouthings Of that
anarchistic adventurer from Canada,
Jerry Simpson. not only disgracing
himself, but humiliating million OF
right honest people, and bringing their
state, for which they have labored and
hoped for thirty years, into discredit
and dilfepute. The remotest corner to
be found anywhere in the civilized
world now hears the name of Kansas
pronounced only in contempt or in pity.
How for almost full lifetime her peo-
pie have struggled, God knows; for
awhile against a power that ruled every
other portion of the nation, again be-
tween the upper and neither millstones
of later bloody conflict, against the
very elements at nature and Of fate, it
seemed at times; but ever undismayed
and ever victorious in the end, until
this pliable, squirting angle-worm,
through calamity cracks and revolu-
tionary tracks, had wriggled into the
executive chair and commandership Of
this once proud, self-reliant and self
sustaining people-in:o the place OF
power over people who under repub-
lican rule had accomplished more in.
for and with Kansas than was ever &C
complishcd in like time by any civil
ization since the dawn of creation, only,
after all, to be branded by the chief and
head of their state as ''thieves and
rascals."
