THAT STATE PRINTER BUSINESS.

The people of Kansas are estimated
as the smartest in all the world. They
have successfully utilized a greater
number of cranky assumptions, and
eyperimented with more tentative
propositions. morally, religiously and
politically, than any people ever did,
since ciyics became a science or con-
situations were held 10 be fundamental
But they put their foot IL it when
they elected a Pop state ticket Three
years ago the average KanSan, as lie
drove his team afield, or marked down
his stock of possessions 10 per cent
complacently congratulated himself
that, if after giving the Pops trial
term. they failed, nothing would be
easier than TO turn them down and out.
The presumption proved violent
one. 1t was a promising theory but
fell short in the practice. These self
sufficient and overly confident Kansas
people marched to the polls last fail
and with great unanimity proceeded
with the turning down and out bus
mess. and although that was several
months ago. and the contract time was
but for day, the last heard from head
quarters they were still wrestling with
the same job Of custer. no Pop being
yet depOsed save Lewelling himself, and
two or three others who voluntarily
let go and decamped, but who later,
witnessing the success of their coadju-
tors in holding on, continually bewal
their own precipitancy.
Among these, principally prominent
for his persistency, is one Mr.. Snow,
Pop state printer, elected more because
for his blatant proclivitieS than for
either fitness or claims, and elected by
the same members Of that legislative
body of men who took PETER for a
statesman. This Snow ought to be
in Clevelands cabinet, his secretary
of state, for the satisfactorily and le-
gally disposing Of the impossible.
Knowing that Major Hudson his sue
cessor, would be elected by majority
of the legislature, that he was elected
in that way himself, Snow resigned
his state partnership just before the
expiration Of the gubernatorial term
and precOncertedly had Governor Lew
cling appoint him for a new term Of
years. If he can make his sickness
stick this jay Pop country editor, in
spite of right, the people. or Of the
constitution, will be the state printer
of Kansas Indefinitely. This Pop doc
trine Of ''once in always in" becomes
alarming as a principle. as new illus
tration Of the holding that possession
is nine points of the law" chaffingly in
commodlous. When we remember
old PETER, Rogers, Householder, Chase,
Lease, ct al, in connection with this
new scheme Of official entailment and
adequacy the question "where are we
at becomes pressfngly pertinent. Sub
sequently this Snow, who Of his Pop
preachings and partnership has piled
up fortune, threw his partners into
the meShes Of receivership from
which he energies as the sole proprietor
Of the state printing house, and he now
announces that he will be found at the
old stand where he expects TO continue
the profitable business Of public printer
TO his majesty, the people of the com
monwealth Of Kansas, by the grace of
God and his own gall.

GHOSTS AND RIDDLES.

Forty years ago an orthodox member
Of a church would have had catalep-
tic fit if he had entered a church and
heard fiddle.
When the innocent violin with its
white-powdered belly attempted TO
force its way into the church it was
met with a hurricane Of hysterical
protestations. 1t was the instrument
of the devil and BODIED everything i'll.
But the fiddle walked into the church,
took front seat in the orchestra and
is there today with the church still
holding the devil at bay.
The good people were exercised be-
cause Of an infraction of custom, not
of morals. The fiddle is now familiar
to the most of the church members.
The ifs in its side mean nothing. The
curl of it's neck is not diabOlical en-
blem. Its delicate bridge is necessary
for the purity of the tones and per-
lection of vibration and not a direct
agent of his Satanic majesty. This
is now understood and the violin is
looked upon simply as cleverly con-
trived combination of wood.
Shall the fear of ghosts always uni
versal, in the days of Homer as in the
Nineteenth century pass away: And
shall ghosts always be accepted as
entities?
The ghost has hung on with wonder
full tenacity. Men and customs. super
stitionS and religions, nations and
races have come and gone, but the
ghost with the diaphonouS head, body
and legs straddles around in the cur
rent thought, transactions and belief
of man the same as of yore.
Ghosts probably exist. A great many
people, those who are most afraid Of
seeing one, declare they do not. The
same skeptics have secuted and are
still scouting hypnotism although it is
plainly demonstrated and although the
leading physicians of New York and
Chicago have during the past month
declared that hypnotism is an estab-
lished fact and should be accepted as
such
IL the ghost has an existence even
if only phantom existence, We shall
certainly come to know him better.
The world is full of active investigat-
ing minds that are delving into spirit
ual powers. mental dynamics, tele-
pathic phenomena and hypnotic dem
onstrationS. These investigations will
solve something, though perhaps not
everything mysterious in regard 10 the
recognized but invisible and intanci-
bic spirit OF life
With al our learning we have not
given an answer 10 the question as To
why when one man yawns and another
will yawn also.
The telepathisis are investigating the
subject of ghosts thoroughly. When
the ghost Is cOrnered he VIII be found

but not on thar account the less real
and visible, arising from a demon
sirated condition OF the mind in
given place and time.
II we can prove that the ghost does
exist; that he has reason for cropping
around IN the dark, and sitting on our
bed-post grinning at us in the still
watches OF the night. our fear Of him
Will pass, just as the fear Of the fiddle
