The Republicans in 1892 assessed
palace cars at $4,000 each. This is
about one-third Of their value. But
the Populists in 1898 reduced that as
sessment to $4,000, which is about
one-fourth Of their value. Consider
ing the difference in the number of
cars operated this made a reduction
Of 80 per cent to the Pullman Palace

A Narrow Escape.

The Republican party of Kansas has
had narrow escape. For awhile the
danger made them stagger but it
seems now to have passed by. Sat-
urday the report was sent out that
Artz had left the Populists and would
be a Republican. As no more has
been heard of it, the report was prob
ably a canard. 1t is doubtful II the
party could have stood such an access
sion. To be sure it has recently been
strengthened by the withdrawal OF
old Capital Removal Kelly, Mr.
Householder Henderson says it
should be Boodleholder) and-and-
oh, yes, and Phillips. But it couldn't
stand having Artz join it. Artz is .
hoodoo. The Pops would give theil
white alley to get rid of him. Blu
they can't, Still it was a narrow
escape. Let us offer thanks.

HE WAS A cANNleAL KING.


II. j. Moora Rules Over u Beautiful Lit.
tie Island In The Pacific.
The king of the Cannibai islands, i'm
nortalized in song, ind whose exist
ence was su imposed to be more or less
mythical, turned up at the worlds
fair. And, contrary to rumor. he
proved to he u white man, good look.
ing, and educated, and, sti~,ge to re.
late, he has eve tasted human flesh.
This will disappoint those who have
regarded the king of the Cannibal
islands with u vague horror. The real
king has not only never toasted on q
fellow being but has devoted a con.
siderable portion of his life to persuad.
ing his subjects that there was other
flesh just as good, and some that was
even mor palatable. This they could
not believe until they had eaten pork.
Then they admitted that pork. as an
article of diet, was far preferable to
any human flesh.
The kings name is II. j. Moors, aud
he is an American. When "a boy he
went to Samoa in search of adventure.
Samoa is one of a group of tiny islands
in the Pacific, some of which were in
habited by ~man-eaters. He came
across a beautiful little island about
10 degrees south of the equator, whose
population Mr.. Moors found was rapid
~ decreasing because the natives were
using each other for food.
As he became acquainted with the
natives he discovered that they were a
gentle, honest, and well-disposed peo-
pie He gained their confidence and
was accepted as their ruler.
Having married one of the natives
