KoRTHY Ex4MPLE

The action of the sheriff of Sedgwick
county, in closing the saloons of Wichita,
is an example worthy Of imitation and
emulation by the chief executive of the
state. The motives of the sheriff will
probably be impugned by an element
opposed to the law. and he will, no doubt,
be soundly abused for his actions, but
the public generally cares less for
motives than for results. The law is the
law and it should be enforced while it
remains the law
The prohibitory law was not passed
for use in any particular locality but for
she entire state. There is no provision
In it for local option.
Notwithstanding the fact that the GUS
tomary endorsement Of the prohibitory
law was omitted from the Republican
platform of last year the people stood by
she party because they believed that

THE new police commissioners of To-
peka appear to be intent on enforcing
the prohibitory laws. In Wichita the
commissioners will probably try to regu-
late the traffic in another way. Some
people claim that Gov. Morrill, will fol-
low his predecessors by using his fine
discretionary powers as to what portions
of the state the laws shall be enforced
and in what portions they shall not be-
Others believe the governor has been
misunderstood. and that inside Of sixty
days there will be startling developments
in cities like Wichita where it is pro-
posed to openly violate the law.-Wich-
ita Star (Rep).
There seems to have been startling de-
velopments already. Gov MorriIps new
police board had been expecting to secure
monthly revenue of $4,000 from the sa-
looms, but Sheriff Royse steps in and
closes all the saloons just about as the
clever plan was to be established. This
puts the new police board in an uncom-
Portable position. The Kansas public is
interested in seeing how they will ex-
tricate themselves from it.

HOW SOME CAME BACK.

Story for the Ministerial Union About One
of the Banqueters From Leavenworth.
On the train which brought the legis-
lative party back from the big, damp
banquet at Leavenworth, were a number
of people who were not possessed of
vote in either the senate or the house.
One of these was a large man with a
thirst like a prairie fire. Possibly he
hadn't travelled much, but at any rate he
gazed about the car in an awed sort of
way, and finally his eyes, which were
suffering from a severe attack of alco-
holic redness, rested on the long narrow
bottles next to the stove. The contents
didn't look like whisky, nor did it resem-
bic white horse, but he had bucked
against SO many different kinds of liquor
lately that he didn't GO much on looks.
Finally he stood up and after leaning
against the seat until he had recovered
a sufficient amount of equilibrium, be-
gan an uncertain but dignified eff
fort to reach the bottles. They did
not come out of their resting place easily
and he had to tear away strip of tin to
get at them. Then he settled down with
the bottles and finally produced a cork
screw from his pocket just then the
brakeman came into the car.
"Hold on, that isn't good TO drink. It
isn't whisky"
''Wazzat? You (hic) shay it amt
whisk. P'raps you'll (hic) shay what it
is?"
That is a fire extinguisher"
"Oh, that's all RI. Shust wot / want.

1t required considerable argument on
the part of the "brakie' and the thirsty
mans friends to get him to give up the
bottles of fire. extinguisher. A pint
bottle of the real stuff was finally pro-
duced and the thirsty man was recon
ciled

WHITMAN'S RIDE PRESERVED ORE

A Journey Across the Continent That
Eclipses the Famous Feats Of Paul Revere
and Phil observation-disclosures College the
Only Monument to the Hero.
Written high upon the scroll of fame
are the names of Paul Revere, Philip
a. Sheridan and John c. Fremont, and
beside them should be the name of Mar
Gus Whitman. His name is not there,
however, and few people are familiar
with the remarkable history of the man
who crossed the Rocky mountains six
years before John @. Fremont, and who
was the hero of ride beside which the
midnight ride of Paul Revere from
Charlestown to Lexington ''to spread
the alarm through every Middlesex vii
1age and farm and the famous ride of
Sheridan from Winchester to Cedar
Creek pale into comparative insignif-
canoe. No Longfellow has immortaliz-
ed Whitman ride in verse, no Reid has
told the story of Whitman's dash from
the Pacific coast across the continent to
Washington to save Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho to the Union, and no
monument marks the spot where Whit
mans ashes mingle with the dust of Is
other brave prisoners who were massa-
cred by the Cayuse Indians in Oregon
in 1847
The only monument thus far reared
TO Whitman's memory is Whitman col
lege, a small frame building in Walla
Walla. The college has had a hard
struggle during the 20 years of its ex-
istence, and its endowment at present
is only 81, 900. No story of the college

tenant of Argyllshire and chancellor Of
the University of ST. Andrews. He has
been lord rector of the University Of
Glasgow, postmaster general, three
times lord privy seal, secretary of state
for India and president of the council

In 1881 he was lord privy seal in
Gladstone's cabinet, but resigned be-
cause he differed with Gladstone re-
garding several provisions of the Irish
land bill. As an author the duke has
been famous for so years. His ''Reign
of Law and s'Primeval Man" are
classics, and he has written enough on
the Scotch church, evolution and on the
question of landlord and tenant to fill a
whole bookshelf. He despises the illit-
crate aristocracy, and owing to his
brusque. dogmatic and arrogant ways is
very unpopular. Inverary castle, the
chief seat of the Argyll family, is the
principal baronial residence of the West
ern highlands. The duke owns IT'S, III

He Has Long Been One of the Ab1est Men
In British Public Life.
The Duke of Argyll, who recently re-
tired from politics, is without doubt one
of the ablest statesmen and orators in
Great Britain. For over quarter of a
century he has been in the very front
rank in English public life, and next
to Gladstone has had the longest and
most noteworthy career Of any one in
English parliamentary circles. He is
now II years of age and succeeded to
his title in 1847. He was brilliant
scholar in his student days, and no man
in college was more interested in ae-
curing knowledge and culture than
George Douglass Campbell, who was
destined to be the eighth Duke of Ar
gyll and head of the great Campbell
clan in Scotland. Although he is an
advanced Liberal, he has long been the
intimate friend and adviser of the queen,
and his son, the Marquis of Lorne, mar
ried Princess Louise, one of Queen Vic
toria's daughters, in 1871.

United Kingdom, and among his nu-
merous offices are those of heritable

SIR ROBERT HART. of China Sir
Robert was born at Portadown, Ireland,
in 1885, and was graduated from the
Queens college, Belfast, in 1853. He
went to China a year later as student
interpreter in the British consular serv-
ice in China and was secretary for the
allied commission for the government of
Canton in 1863
A year later he joined the Chinese
customs service and soon rose to the
highest Office in the service under the
Tsung- IL Yamen. He built up the coast
light service from three to four lights to
over 20 in 90 years and has vastly i'm
proved the collection of customs and i'm
pressed the outside world with the great
resources of the Chinese government.
He was president of the Chinese COM
mission to the international exrositions
at Vienna in 1878, at Philadelphia in
1876 and at Paris in 1878.
During his long service in China he
has received almost as many buttons,
feathers, plulnes and jackets as Lii Hung
Chang and seems to be much more sue
cessful in retaining them than the IA
nous Chinese statesman, who is now in
eclipse. In 1864 he was elevated to the
civil rank of the Third Glass, in 1869
he was raised to the Second Glass, in
1881 he was favored with the Red But
ton of the First Glass, and four years
later was invested with the Order of the
Double Dragon and the Peacock s Feath-
er. In 1889 the Chinese government
went still further and honored him as
no other foreigner had ever been honor
ed before, it is said. He was favored
with the Ancestral Rank of the First
Order of the First Glass for three gen
erations. Belgium, Sweden, Norway.
Austria, France, Portugal, England and
other countries have also decorated him.

SECRETARY CARLISLE is good at figures.
he has been making some calculations
on the revenue, and although each month
shows large excess of expenditures
over the income, and there is no great re-
auctions in the size of the appropriation
bills he reckons that we will close the
year with a surplus of over $22,O0O,OOO.
1t is related that the senators were SO
surprised that they gathered about his
letter to make an examination regarding
its genuineness. Mr.. Carlisle would have
been prize to the PopuIist party in this
state last fall. He could have doubtless
figured them out victory without any
difficulty.
