TACT OF MISS POLLARD.

OF all things the most coveted &C
QUESTION in American is notoriety
The frenzy for public renown is so
great that all distinctions between
fame and notoriety, which were once
so marked, have been lost
Fame or nOtoriety once gained, it
would appear, is bod thing to MAIN
| tain, and the permanency of either
fame or notoriety, it is argued, depends
almost wholly on the whims of public
opinion.
So it happens that all the politicians,
all the actors, all the public characters,
all the confidence men, are always
keeping a sharp eye on public opinion.
At night they ponder over the bent of
public opinion, and in the day they
sound in every mans speech the trend
and temper of public opinion. A
friends advice may be sought, or per-
sonal wishes in the matter consulted,
but it is public opinion that moulds all
their actions
The action of Miss Pollard, subse-
quent to her suit for breach of promise
is an interesting study in this subser-
viency to public opinion. 1t can not
be said that Miss Pollard holds aloof
from nOtoriety. Her suit against
Breckenridge was not brought on for
money recompenSe. 1t was done for
the humiliation of her antagonist and
sometime lover. This was accomplish
ed through her victory-not victory in
an award of damages, which she re-
fuses to accept, but victory in public
opinion. Since the trial Miss Pollard
has played her part with public opin-
ion singularly well-better perhaps
than the oldest politician or diplomat
could achieve. Immediately after her
trial she secreted herself from the
public view. Offers TO go on the stage
she refused, and interviews in the
newspapers were shrewdly eschewed.
Miss Pollard with rare cunning knew
that the public was surfeited with the
case and she strengthened herself by
retirement. 1t is not likely that she has
not, all this time, been restless under
this period of silence. Her manner
and nature is sensational and the Juicy
mental morsel of being talked about,
has been a strong temptation to her.
But she has denied herself until now.
The public has certainly taken kind
ly TO this reticence. The details of her
escapade with Breckenridge. in which
many hold her to be in part to blame,
have faded away.
She now comes out adroitly in IN in
terview, in which she denies that she
is pursuing her defeated enemy. She
asks no pardon for her sin, but rather
places her history on the higher
grounds of sociological question. She
says: Il asked a question with my
life; il can not be answered in a day"
There can be doubt that the world
is entering into a condition of mind
where the same moral code that is de-
manded of woman shall be extended
TO man. In place of appearing herself,
Miss Pollard pushes this question to
the front The effect on public opin-
ion of Miss Pollard's letter interview
will be beneficial TO her 1t is modest.
1t is Shrewd and careful. and demon
strates that for tact. Miss Pollard out
ranks any other individual in the
country today.

THE KANSAS SCHOOL MARIN.

sion degenerates into impertinence in

salaries to teach the young Kansas
| idea how to shoot and forthwith they
essay the direction of the entire shoot
| ing match. Because it is their bust
ness to advise our youth it does not
necessarily follow that they are to di-
rect the parents also. Just so surely
as the Kansas school-marm annually
meets in convention, just so sure does
she become bumptious in her presump-
ton. No one denies that they have the
constitutional right to set UP their wis
dom as being superior, but as their pro-
feSsion, as such, or as individuals,
draw far more money from the public
treasury than they contribute towards
the support of government, a show
ing of a little more modesty might not
hurt them. while it would contribute
largely to the comfort Of those who
have the bills TO meet. Day before yes
terday at Topeka the Kansas school
teachers were again running the state.
Among other things they demanded
compulsory county high schools, but
whether in the interest of common
school education or that more places
for teachers might be provided, they
did not say. The resolution cost them
nothing, while it tended to farther bur-
den the taxpayers. So, too, their reso-
luton demanding a tax levy for
library in every school district A
good sized squash might have been
wisely smashed atthat poin over some
of their pumpkin heads. Following
these and other declarations and de-
mands comes formulated regret that
female suffrage was defeated, and that
the prohibitOry law was not being en-
forced exactly up to their standard.
The next thing will be a resolution ad-
vocating the employment Of special
teachers for the incubation of equal
suffrage doctrine in the public schools.
The wiSest resolution of the whole
batch seems to have been offered last,
and which was carried, and that was
a motion to adjourn.

there is no apparent reason for It The
uncounted millions of this metal,
under existing laws, must lie undis-
turbed in the mines, though from time
imInemorial it has performed the func-
lions and uses Of money. 1t is strictly
in the hands of congress to restore this
function, and there is neither justice
in Withholding it. nor the shadow of
excuse for further delay. All that can
be said is that it was forbidden by the
advocates of gold standard and that
the administration is the willing tool
in carrying out their beheSt.
1t is like reiterating that two and
two make four to say that business is
stagnant, and has been since the adj
vent of Cleveland's party to power.
Without going into the direct causes,
it enough to know that such a condi-
ton exists. If hard times are co-exist-
ent with present party management,
it cannot be denied that the party is,
in a measure, responsible. To further
aggravate the evils now prevailing by
a policy of stolidly doing nothing is lit
tie short Of criminal and willful
neglect.
The lawless state of things in the In
dian territory suggests another oppor-
tunity for congressional aid. Further
delay cannot be excused on the ground
of ignorance On the contrary, con-
gress has been besiged, memorialized
and importuned from the first day of
the session, to provide some relief
from the lawlessness known to prevail
within the limits of the five nations.
Reliable local data ready to hand, has

States. 1t is, by so much, providing u
rendezvous for the renegade from jus
tice, and setting apart portion Of
country where the train robber and
the murderer is free from the penalties
of local laws. Not member of that
body can ignore the just demands of
that section, yet the indications are
that nothing will be done. Let US hope
