can be added to what is not already
known To wonderful political acumen
Mr.. Platt unites a power of commercial
organization and a capacity for work
which are positively astounding. He is
successful in everything he touches, and,
unlike other political bosses, he is as
honest as the sun. As politician he has
no equal now living. Almost every one
remembers how he and Roscoe Conkling
returned from the United States senate
in 1881 annihilated and broken hearted.
Conkling never recovered. Platt did. He
lived to get on top again in few short
years and crush or conci1iate his enc
mics, as his fancy dictated With Platt
courage never dies. He has a fight for
his political life now on hand, but the
knowing ones predict he will win in the
end.
Besides being great politician and
successful business man Mr.. Platt yields
a trenchant pen and supplies many of
the newspapers in the interior of the state
with snappy editorials in reply to the
criticisms of his enemies in New York
city.

CALVIN s. BRIcE of Ohio and New
York has heard that there is free sill
yer movement among Ohio Democrats
and he hastens to enter protest His
principal reason for opposing any agi-
tation of the subject is that Mr. Cleve-
land is opposed to it. He adds that
those who believe in and uphold the
doctrines Of the president on the money
question should not be driven out of the
Democratic party. Protests from men
like Senator Brice no longer
avail. The time has come when
either the friends of the pres
ident and the gold standard or the
friends of the people and the silver
standard must be driven out of the party.
A test of strength is inevitable. The
same party can no longer hold elements
of views ciametrically opposed. The
best that Senator Brice can do is to
make his fight for the gold standard
and when he loses, as lose he must, to go
wherever the other gold bugs go. There
will be few of them from the Repub-
lican party to keep him company

have recently obtained samples of
the chief baking powders in the market,
and have subjected them to careful
chemical examination to determine their
purity, wholesomeness and leavening
power. As the result of my tests l find
the Royal Baking Powder superior to
the others in every respect It is en-
tirely free from all adulteration and I'M
wholesome impurity, and in baking it
gives off a greater volume of leavening

strongest powder with which l am ac-

tour of Europe. He was with Clusters
expedition to the Black Hills and served
in the Bannock war, spending in all
about four years in fighting the Indians.
He accompanied General Grant on his
tour of the world, and in 1881 resigned
from the army. He assisted his father
in the preparation of the memoirs, and
in 1887 ran for secretary of state Of
New York, but was beaten.
President Harrison appointed him en-
voy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary to Austria Hungary, and he
served four years in that capacity. When
President Cleveland was elected, Colo
mel Grant received assurances that he
could remain in the Office if he desired,
but preferred to resign.
Colonel Grant returned to New York
in 1898 and has since led a very quiet
life. He was married in 1874 to Miss
Ida Marie Honore, and the couple have
two children-Miss Julia Dent Grant, q
beautiful daughter of IS, and U. s.

Colonel Frederick Dent Grant, who

son of Ulysses S. Grant and is said to
grow more and more like his famous
father in personal appearance as the
years pass He was born in st. Louis
on May 80, 1850, and his earliest recol-
lections are of soldiers and army life.
During the war he was mere lad, but
accompanied his father on many cam

During a charge with LAWYERS brigade
at the battle of Champion Hill he re-

In 1866 he entered West Point, prov

an empty treasury and $5140Oo of obli-

some pride 10 Kansans that our state has
the money in the treasury today to pay
every cent she owes. Not only that, but
she would be little poorer after it was
done, as most of the states indebtedness
is held by the state school fund.

Now that the matter of a bridge on
Kansas avenue is again about to come
before the county commissioners, the
greatest care should be taken that no
mistake shall be made in the manner of
submitting a bond proposition. If the
proposition which shall be submitted to
the people for their approval, be plain,
easily understood, fair and square on its
face, with no place for lodging, there is
every reason to believe it will carry.
But if there should be any appearance
of extravaganza or crookedness about it
the people will vote it down as they have
done on previous occasions. Then there
will be two or three more years of delay
and big bill of expense Tor repairs on

yer and railroad magnate; John A. Nc
Call, president of the New York Life
Insurance company, litterateur, fnan-
cier ard great corporate organizer;
Thomas G. Platt, greatest of living pol
iticians and most successful of business
men, and Henry Clews, keenest and most
farsighted of Wall street bankers, au-
thor, politician lin the best sense of the
word) and public spirited citizen. These
four men came the nearest, in that they
possessed the ''genius which commands
all the faculties - All of them, oddly
enough, possess strong points in COM
mon-wit, wisdom, unf1agging indus
try, executive ability and political sa-
gacity. Chauncey M. Depew's name is
a household word in every home in the
land. His history is too well known to
require review here. DR.. Depew is now
president of the New York Central rail
road and accounted one Of the best law
yers in the land. But for his connection
with the Vanderbilts and other corpo-
rate interests he certainly WOULD nave
been elected United States senator twice
and perhaps president of this great coun-
| try.
John A Mccall, president of the New
| York Life Insurance company, albeit a
dozen years younger, resembles ''our
| Chauncey" in many respects. He has
| the same sunny temperament, an equal
flow Of wit and the same political tact
and habits Of industry. Withal he is a
! profound thinker, man of the widest
| possible reading and graceful writer
as well as an earnest, eloquent speaker.
His rugged honesty and unyielding will
| pass for a proverb among the politicians
of the state.
