Down with the City Chicken.

The City Council of Kansas City as about
to be called upon by ~long-suffering resi-
dents to pass an ordinance regulating the
keeping of chicken within corporation linn
its. Kansas City, like indianapolis, covers
a good deal of ground. and its citizens enjoy
the luxury of space enough around their
dwellings in which to engage in the delights
of gardening If they like. Many of them
do like to grow their own tomatoes and
cabbage, but many others care nothing for
such pursuits, preferring to utilize their
back yards by raising chickens in them.
Now. everybody who knows anything about
the habits of these domestic fowls knows
that they will abandon the choicest of
food that may be offered them and will
fly over, or crawl through, or scratch under
any fence or obstruction in their way in
order to tear up and wallow in and utterly
destroy any garden patch or flower bed
within half a mile. The more choice the
flowers or more fourishing the vegetables
the more do these pernicious birds revel in
the work of destruction. Having created
the desired havoc the fowls saunter home.

shoots the predatory poultry he bewails
the deed, for the owner thereof promptly
takes the law on him. and he is made
to pay for the dead hens at least five times
their actual value-the fact they were
caught in the act OF trespassing not being
held in mitigation. Always and every
where, for some reason, chickens have been
exempt from the rules that govern live
stock. Cows, and horses, and pigs are for
hidden to roam the city streets, and even
stray cats and dogs are legally adjudged
as nuisances, but the chicken has hitherto
reigned superior to law and popular preju-
dice. AT last, however, Kansas City suffer-
ers from its depredations have combined
forces and risen in their own behalf. The

cities where people are still sufficiently

If the owners of gardens will seek the CO.
operation OF the other large class of citi-
zens who dislike to be reused at unearthly
hours in the morning by the Growing of

strength TO their reform movement. With
skillful management the necessary legisla-
ton may be brought about in time, and

Mr.. Bynum's attempt to head a mutiny
of the House and to place himself in the
leadership of his party on the tariff ques-
ton has resulted, for the present. at least,
in ignominious failure. 1t was a repetition,
under more favorable circumstances of
Mr.. Springer's inonoate attempt, last week,
to do the same thing. and there is reason
TO believe that both were actuated, in a
measure, by the same motive, viz: jeal-
ousy of Chairman Wilson and a desire to
get even with Speaker Crisp for not hav-
ing placed one of them at the head of the
ways and means committee. An intimate
friend of the Speaker is reported as say
ing: "Bynum and Springer have been
throwing cold water on Chairman Wilson
and the House conferees during the entire
struggle to discredit their work out of
pure spite, because they failed to get what
both wanted. the Craftsmanship of the ways
and means committee" Mr.. Bynum had
plain sailing till the caucus met, and he
probably thought, from the ease with

signatures to the call. that he would have
no difficulty in carrying the caucus with
him. The result shows that he reckoned
without his host. The effect of the adop-
ton of the resolution which he offered
would have been a quasi vote Of censure
on the House conferees and to substitute
the action of a joint caucus for that of the
committee of conference. Chairman VIII
son, Speaker Crisp and others opposed the
resolution as mischievous. Mr.. Wilson
characterizing it as a fire in the rear, and
after a session of an hour and a half, in
which the spirit of the caucus was clearly
opposed to the Bynum resolution, the eau
Gus adjourned without taking any action.
The result was a victory for Chairman
Wilson, and while it does not advance
matters at all. the moral effect will be to
strengthen the position of the House con-
ferees. Mr.. Bynum takes nothing by his
motion and is left on the fiat of his back.

The question of how the State militia
were to be paid has caused considerable dis
cussion of late, both in official circles and
among members of the militia. The meager
appropriation for contingent expenses of
the executive office, $1,000, was exhausted
so that when he more serious troubles in
cident to the miners strike and the Debs
Instruction came on the Governor had no
funds on hand with which to meet the ex-
penses of calling out the militia. Notwith-
standing this fact. he did not hesitate to
assume the responsibility. He was safe in
doing this, as there could be no reasonable
doubt that the Legislature would assume
the expense and make the necessary appro-
priation when it should meet. But the mill
tia have not yet received any pay. and it
will be nearly six months till the Legisla-
ture meets. Members of the militia have
received certificates of service, and unless
they are paid soon they will be tempted to
sell them at a heavy discount to money
sharks. who know they are as good as gold.
Under these circumstances the Governor
has again determined to assume the respon-
sibllity, and. by making a loan on his per-
sonal credit. raise money enough 10 pay off

The proverbial English love of fair play
has not found any expression during the
recent series OF yacht races. Every effort
has been made to handicap the American
yacht. and in the race of Monday the ac-
ton of the Britannia was little less than
disgraceful. Without any hope whatever
of winning the race herself she devoted all
her efforts to forcing the Vigilant out of
the course. if not onto the rocks, in order
to give the race to a British yacht which,
it was seen. could not win it fairly. Such
jockeying as was done by the Prince of
Wales's yacht in this contest would not
have been tolerated on any respectable
race course in the world. If there is really
any sentiment of fair play left among
Englishmen they ought to be glad that the
American yacht won in spite of the dis
reputable methods used to defeat her.

APPLICANTS FOR POSTOFFICE JOBS.
Sixty-Eigbt Men Take the Local Civil.
Service Examination.

Civil service examinations for postofiice
clerks and carriers were conducted in the
United States court room yesterday, be-
tween the hours of 10 O'Clock in the MORN
ing and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The To-
cal examining board, composed of r.. a.
Taylor, John F. Steeg and Eugene Wilson
had charge of the work. OF the eighty APP
plications filed but sixty-eight were repre-
scented. Some of those who failed TO re-
spond to the call sent physicians certih-
Gates showing that they were sick. They
will be given another opportunity. The APP
plicants represented all political parties.
Many of them were recognized as mechan-
les. and one man had been a street car
driver. But one of the applicants was col
ored. Under a recent ruling OF the Ma
tional Civil Service Commission the same
set of questions are submitted TO the APP
plicants for both carrier and clerical posi-
tons. The list embraces photography, pen
manship. letter writing, geography and To-
two latter departments are considered the
most important by the board. In examining
applicants on the reading OIL a1aresseS
office addresses of imaginary persons are
submitted TO the candidate. he mas ten

marked up by the board here. the balance
of the work being gone through by the de-
partment at Washington.

CARRYING OUT A CAMPAIGN BARGAIN

There are very strong reasons for believ-
ing that the position of the Senate in the
tariff deadlock is the result of a deter
mination on the part of Senator German
and other sugar Senators to carry out a
bargain made by them during the last pres
idential campaign with the president of the
Sugar Trust, and that the terms of the
bargain are known to the President. In
the nature of things the evidence of such
bargains must always be circumstantial,
but that kind of evidence is often morally
conclusive. Mr.. Havemyer was compelled
to admit before the investigating committee
that the Sugar Trust had contributed to
the Democratic campaign fund in different
States. though he refused to say how much,
and the majority of the committee sus-
tanned him in his refusal. Senator German,
in his memorable speech attacking the
President, asserted that when he and Sem
ators Brice and Smith determined to put
their shoulders to the wheel in the cam
paign of 1892 there was a distinct under
standing in the interest of the party and
of Mr.. Cleveland that sugar should be pro-
tected. AT this point he said:
In all my public career no man has ever
charged me with perhdy. No soul can say
that i ever made a promise about public or
private matters that l did not carry out If
| had the power to do IL. These two SEN
ators and myself, carrying out the pledge
of our party, whose candidate was indorSed
by US, have stood here and been gibbeted
as men who are in a sugar trust. 1 was
true to those to whom 1 am indebted.
In this passage Senator German came
very near adm, ag the bargain between
the Democratic campaign managers and the
Sugar Trust. Smarting under the charge
of standing in with the trust. he declared
that no soul could say that he ever made
a promise about public affairs that he did
not carry out if he had the power. and then
he added: Il was true TO those to whom 1
am indebted" Read between the lines this
is an admission that there was an under
standing with the Sugar Trust, that Sena-
tor German was a party TO il, that the
trust had placed the Democratic managers
under obligation, and that. so far as he
was concerned, he proposed to carry out his
side Of the bargain.
There is no other way OF accounting for
the obstinacy of the sugar Senators in
standing out for the interests of the trust,
and no rational person can doubt that the
President knows the secret OF their action.

Three brothers in Berks county. Pennsyl-
vania, have reached the respective ages of
eighty-five, ninety-twO and ninety-four,
which, a Philadelphia paper announces tri-
umphantly. is an aggregate age of 21 years.
The brothers are pronounced a remarkable
trio. mainly, SO far as appears. because
their combined years reach such a large
sum. This is a common and favorite way
of trying to make age seem impressive, but
it is a very foolish way. Each man lives
his own life, and no other; his contempo-
raries live their own lives. and the sum of
their years. however great it may be, takes
them into no period but their own, gives
them no knowledge but that belonging to
their own three or four score and ten, and
adds nothing TO their dignity. Each man
bears his own years as best he may; why
add to them the years of his brother? 1t
is a meaningless fashion that should be left

their fingers and toes. and should not be en-
couraged by newspapers.
