STAL WARTS AND FUslONlsTs.

| KANSAS CITY, April 3-The Times
/ Washington special says:
when Frank Mapes was appointed
postmaster of Kansas City, Kan, to
| day, the appointment was hailed for a
moment as victory for Senator Martin;
but the iusionists' hilarity did not last
long. The news came early to them
| from administration sources shat
| Mapes might thank the stupidity
of the stalwarts for his
elevation to the Office, rather than the
power of Senator Martin or President
Cleveland's appreciation of fusion in
Kansas Mapes' opponent was Mr.. Fol-
som. good man, Democrat, and further
distinguished rs dim cousin of Mrs.
Cleveand's. 1t is said that il was partly at
least by reason of this very relationship to
Mrs. Cleveland that the stalwarts insisted
OIL putting Folsom forward for the place.
Mr.. Cleveland will not name his own nor
his wiie's relations to office, and has said
SO repeatedly. SO il was in the case of
Mapes and Folsom for the Kansas City

sides here to be a candidate without n
| flaw; but he was Mrs. Cleveland 5
second cousin. and that was euoug gh.

man, but his appointment proves nothing
for Martin nor his White House standing.
1t is simply evidence that Mr.. Cleveland's
conduct Is consistent with his utterances,
and that to be the relative OF the admins
tration Is an absolute bar to office.

FACTS ABOUT ANCIENT RINGS
In Oidcn Times They Were Generaiiy
Regarded Tokens OF Authority.

Regarded as Tokens of Authority.
Once there was a peculiar significance
attached to rings They were regarded
as IA token OF authority. The cmpercr'a
signet ring placed in the hands of an
official invested him for the time with
his masters power.
Rings are first mentioned In the Bible
In Genesis, chapter 4lst and <2d verse:
"And Pharaoh took his ring from his
hand and put 1t on Joseph's hand, and
made him ruler over all Egypt" When
the Israelites conquered the Midianites
they took all their rings and bracelets
and offered them tn tho Lords
Ahasuerus gave the ring from his hands
TO the Hebrews worst enemy, thus Civ
ing him unlimited control 10 do with
them and their property whatever bs
pleased. The father received his prod
igal son joyfully. and sealed his for
giveness by putting a ring on his hand,
says Mrs. Henry Ward Beechcr, in
Godey's Magazine.
The Egyptians regarded their rings
both as business vouchers and as orna-
nents, the signet rings being always
used for sealing documenta, and, how
ever used, their rings were always bur
led with them-and In later years are
often found In their tombs. The signet
ring was usually Of bronze or silver:
but among the rich gold rings were
used for ornaments. ivory or blue
porcelain were worn by tho poor.
Plain gold rings. engraved with soma
motto or the head Of their dcities, were
much prized; and three or four wero
often worn on the fingers and also on
the thumbs- Among the Jews no. one
was in full dress without the signet
ring, and ladiss had their rings set pro-
fusely wife costly gens-rubis.. erner-
