4 Dominant Characteristic of Robert
Louis Stevenson.

The immOrtalizing touch Of
death Ono unmeaning paradox has
come to Robert Louis Stevenson so
kindly as to be free from much of
its sadness, even to his friends, and
under circumstances that will al
ways give a peculiar vividness and
brightness to the figure that now
takes its place in English litera,
ture There has been nothing to
dim the impression Of that vital
awakening personality, that
reached through his books to his
readers with perhaps less loss of its
quality than that Of any living
English writer. The conditions Of
his life, the fine courage of his
high-handed and almost content
nous struggle with discase-which
he seldom mentioned but as an
Inconvenience to be set aside as a
matter of course; and above all the
circumstances Of his last few years
his actual isolation from, yet
intense community with, the
world in which he took 50 keen an
intcrcst-all combined to give a
force to his personal attraction
which will carry it far into the
future of his work. He was
here to preach the Fight and to tell
of the Fight-physical, intellcc-
ual mOral-and Of the Adventure,
which is another form of. ibis it
was that made him a great story
teller. Quiet did not concern him;
and his contemplation, charming
as it is, comes nearest, perhaps,
to an opening for that accusation
of the occasional artificial note.
But the other-the gaudium GER
taminis-he felt with all his heart;
his eyes kindled over it, and litera-
ture so inspired, backed by powers
like his, is very vital and will at
long.-From The Point of View" ,

The United States Twenty-Five
Years Ago.

In 1870 the United States cover
ed the same tract Of the earth's sur
face as now amounting to 4, 100000,
square miles. Hardly more than a
fifth Of this represented the United
States of 1879. About a third OF
the vast domain was settled, the
western frontier running Irregular
ly parallel with the Mississippi, but
nearer to that stream than to the
Rocky Mountains. The centre OF
population was 4S miles east by
north of Cincinnati, having moved
westward AZ miles since 1860.
Except certain well-peOpled sec
tons on the Pacific slope, and little
civilized strips in Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico, the Great West
had but tenuous white population
Over immense regions it was still
an Indian fastness, rejoicing in
reputation, which few could verify
for rare scenery, fertile valleys,
rich mines and a wondrous climate.
The American people numbered
3S,55S,37I souls. In the settled
parts of our country the population
had a density of 80. 3 persons to the
square mile, southern New Eng
land being the most closely peopled.
Much of western Pennsylvania was
in the condition of the newest States
railroads building as never before,
population increasing at remark
able rate, and industries developing
on every hand. Petroleum, which
before the Civil War had been skim
med off the streams of the oil re.
gion and sold for medicine, in 1870
developed yield of over 5, 900, 900
gallons in Pennsylvania alone, more
than ten times as much as a dec
ade previous. The West was rap
idly recruiting itself from the East
the city from the country. Between
1890 and 1860 Our urban population
had increased from one in thirty to
one in six; in 1870 more than one
in five dwelt in cities.-From "A
History of the Last QualterCentu-
ry in the United States" by Pres.
E. Benz. Andrews, in the March

Ideas for Your Garden.

To say that bedding plants
should be set out in strict artistic
relation with the main features Of
the place does not mean great
deal to the reader unless examples
are given, and, unfortunately, ex-
amples vary infinitely. 1t is easier
perhaps to say what should not be
done with bedding plants. Don't
plant masses Of them OH the lawn
SO as to dwarf and divide up the
main expanse Of the green-sward,
which should be the chief beauty
Of every place. As a rule, don't
set plants Of any kindout in the
perniCious middle Of the lawn. A
practice is to surrounds single
Shade trees with little collar
of Coleuses and geraniums. Avoid
that, as well as any arrange
ment that consists Of an isolated
group that is properly related to
nothing else but the grass. Bed
ding plants look particularly we'll
adjoining architectural structures.
There is something about the palm
and Gamma that makes them
specially effective planted against
carved or cut stone masses as a
background. They seem part of
the architecture itself, ornament
ing and enhancing its charms like
some deity arranged drapcry.
adjoining a house or fence, bedding
generally arranges itself better than
elsewhere.
There i one place were you can
always plant bedding safely, sure
OF not marring the effect OF the
lawn, and that is back of, or away
from, the house, in a regular flower
garden, shut i'll completely by trees
and shrubs or a stone wall Ar
ranged in this way the bedding
plants may be combined in any
fashion fancy may dictate, since
they make no part of the effect of
the lawn. 1t is an excellent way
to lay out a hower-garden. Every
thing can be grown there, and
many paths can be made to lead
the visitor to different Towering
masses of foliage. The taste for
old-fashioned flower-gardens OF
this type is growing, and it is a
hopeful landscape-ga gardening sign
of the times.-From Bedding

The Pullman Porter Figures in "Th
Art of Living"

Many a man to-day pays his
quarter of a dollar ruefully and
begrudgingly to the colored Pull
man car porter at the end of his
Journey, when he is brushed off, )"
because he cannot bring himself
to break the custom which fixed
the fee. 1t would be interesting to
estimate what the grand total of
saving to the American travelling
public would have been if ten
instead of twenty five cents a head
had been paid to the tyrant in
question since he first darkened the
situation. If not enough to main.
tain free schools for the negro, at
least sufficient to compel railroad
arrangements to give their
employees suitable wages instead
Of letting the easy-going traveller,
who has already paid for the privi
lege Of a reserved seat, pay a
premium OH that. The exorbitant
fees bestowed on walters is but
another instance ola tendency to be
overgenerous, which. once reduced
to custom, becomes the severest
kind of tax, in that it is likely to
affect the warmest-hearted people.

BarnturnerS and IIunkerS.

A more serious schism than that
in the Wing party of Massachusetts,
was going on meanwhile in the
Democratic party of New York.
The friends of Martin Van Buren,
did not forgive the defeat Of their
favorite leader by the aggressive
slave power in the National Con-
vention of 1874. Recognizing the
fact that his alleged hostility to
the further extension of slavery
had cost him dearly, the Sage Of
Undertook was made hero and a
martyr. The Democrats of New
York divided into anti slavery and
pro slavery factions, or they were
known as Barnburners and Hunk
ers. The Barnburners did not pro-
pose incendiarism; their nickname
was given them by men who aCcu-
sed them of being ready to destroy
the Union to kill slavery, like the
foolish farmer who burned his
barn to eXterminate the rats that
plagued him. A Hunker was a
conservative. In Massachusetts,
the Concience Wings were opposed
by the Cotton Wings; and each
faction distrusted the other

corporations more prone TO practice
eztortion than other corporations?
II there is an advantage and a saving
to the people in public ownership Of
WsterWorkg why not also in street
railways, gas and electric light plants
and other public utilities? And il
these things are advantageous why
not carry the principle still further
and have the public own the great
national highways and telegraph
lines? The Star is (perhsps uncon-
sCiously) presenting arguments in
behalf of municipal ownership of
Waterworks that il will find trouble
some to answer when applied to
other public utilities. It says "the
Importance Of cheap water in build
ing up a city cannot be too strongly
emphasized"
Very true; and we suggest that
the advantage of cheap trsnsports-
tion and means Of communication in
building up a great country and de-
Vsloping its resources cannot be to
strongly emphasized; and if public
ownership of city waterWorks re-
moves temptation to extortion and
insures cheap water, by parity of
reasoning public ownership of rail-
roads and telegraph lines would re-
move temptation to extortion in the
management Of these great utilities
and insure cheap transportation
and cheap communication to the
masses of the people Of this country.
Would it be possible for the Star to
be consistent?

1T Is ROBBERY.

The newspaper publisher who
sends his paper to a subscriber after
the time expires for which he has
paid, and afterwards attemps to col
lect the subscription, needs looking
after. Or course the law enables
him to make the collection unless
the subscriber goes to the trouble
and expense of notifying the pub
Usher to discontinue and afterwards
refuses to receive the paper.
In cities having the free delivery
system, papers are left at their adj
dress and people frequently do not
SEQ the carrier to forbid him leaving
them. The postmaster must there
fore be seen and notified to return
these papers. Frequently he forgets
1t and the papers, continue to come.
The law is wrong and the system a

HOW TO GET TOGETHER.

The Mop Pherson Opinion of May 16
has some sensible ideas upon this
subject which we fully indorse. It
says:
The Kansas Democrat edited by W. p.
TOmlinsOn, who supported the Ovsrmyer
ticket last fall and in that way aided in the
election Of Morril and all his rsdeemer out
fit, is now hOWling for the PopulistS aud
democrats to get together this fall and
elect chief justice of the supreme court.
We wish to say right here and now that the
only terms on which ''get together" pol
10y can be effected is for the democratic
organization TO get out Of the way. Let
the Populists nominate their candidate and

will be defeated, and he ought TO DO. Ifthe
democrats Of Kansas are really friends Of
the people as against the corporations,
combines and gold OonspiratorS, the great
est blessing they could confer would be TO
disband and get out Of the way.

TAKES A GREAT RIsK.

II is really too bad that republi-
can editors are IN danger of being
called Populists if they venture to
express a rational idea, but here is
one who takes the risk:
Kansas paid over 100000 TO insurance
companies last year in excess of the money
paid back for losses. Ninety per cent. of
this was shipped East and returned TO US in
exchange Of mortgages bearing and per
cent. interest, Can any one wonder why
we are not more prosperOus2 At the risk
Of being called q Populisb or paternSlisb,
we propose TO ask question. Why could
not the state do this insurance buisness2

ment, of every character whatsoever. {"
This, of course, would be no disCrim-
nation against "honest, full.Value
money" and certainly the honest

tion to il. Let the government pay
out and receive this money in the
transaction of public affairs, and let
the "honest-money" crowd who wor-
ship the golden calf have all there ia
of this "full-vslue" money. AS it's

government stamp or "fat" let the
government withdraw this fiat and
let it "go" "upon its own merits" !"

THEY DO NOT WANT A CONVENTION

The Kansas republican league and
several republican papers are trying
to discover some method to have q
candidate for chief justice nomi-
mated without calling state conven-
tion. They recognize that it would
be exceedingly awkward to hold a
convention and not adopt a platform;
and the attempt to make q republi-
can platform at the present stage Of
the. game and with public sentiment
broken up as 1t now is would be very
embarrassing. Kansas republicans
don't know yet whether they want
free coinage plank or not, and there
are several questions upon which
they would like to defer expression
for another year until they have time
to see which way the cat is going to
jump.
Then there are other reasons for
avoiding a convention. In view Of
the missppropristion of state money
by the governor (the Abilene Re-
fector says we must not call it pilfer.
ing because it was done above bosrd)
the drunkenness and lasCiViousness
of other state officials, and the gen.
eral decentralization of the party, it is
mighty uncertain what might be said
and done in the state convention.
The situation is a very awkward one,
and we can readily understand why
republican politicians should desire
to avoid a convention if possible. Il
is very sad.
The advocate., 1895-05-29

IT IS a fsvorite argument of the
goldite. plenty.of5money patriots that
more money wo1ld not help the man
who has nothing to sell for it. Per-
haps not; but there are at present
between 3 and 4 millions Of able
bodied men besides a large number
of women who would like to sell
their labor for a little of it and are
unable to find a market. Oar off.
Cisl state paper says the republican
party is the true friend of these peo-
and proposes to help them by giving
them chance to earn some OF the
money already coined. Inssmuch
as it is through republican policy
and management that they have
been deprived of employment the
official paper ought to tell us what
change of policy its party proposes.
