KANSAS IDEA OF A KISS.

We observe with a degree OF pain that
Wichita (Kan) man has got into trouble ABOUT
a kiss 1t is never pleasant to hear OF misun-
derstanding about kiss. kiss Is such harm
less, necessary thng-the bestowing Of 1t SUCH
simple innocent and pleasant form OF recreation
that to have any sort of trouble follow 1t is dis
couraging, to say the least.
But in the Kansas case under consideration
the sorrow that such things should be is rather
swallowed up in wonder at certain details or
development. The thing has Of course, got into
the courts or nothing would be known about H.
Mrs. Wertz. who was kissed is suing Mr.. Pull
liam who did the kissing, for damages. Realiz-
ing. apparently, the utter absurdity of such a
thing as damages having any possible connection
with so benign a thing as kiss, the lady's law
yer has fallen back on his legal base OF supplies
and put forward the astonishing plea that the de-
fendant kissed the plaintiff in loud, bolster
"ous felonious, malicious and unseemly manner
against the peace and dignity Of the State of
Kansas"
We suppose that never before was any such
ridiculous list Of unwilling adjectives dragged to-
gether to shroud thing under the guise Of de-
scribing 1t. Barely OF them, we hold could
ever be applied to a kiss; a kiss may. we sup
pose, on OCCASION be loud, though the subdued
variety is, we believe, the kind that finds great
est popular favor But even the loudest kiss Is
not matter to disturb the peace OF a big State
like Kansas. even to call out the Fire Depart
ment, and the adjective loud used by the legal
gentleman is almost misleading as the others.
For the others are certainly meant simply to
befog the minds Of the jurymen. We cannot con-
ceive Of any sane person bestowing kiss bos-
terously; 'twere like breaking butterfly on a
Brooklyn trolley-car. AS for kiss ever being
felonious or malicious, the thing Is unthinkable.
And when come to the last descriptive word
applied by this Kansas legal curiosity the mind
simply revots. kiss is the very personhca-
ton Of seemliness. Other things may be seemly,
but kiss is seemness itself boiled down and
reduced to a concrete and visible and audible
form.
Although some things may point toward this
lawyers being old we inclined to think on
the contrary, that he Is probably extremely
young Zeal for his newly chosen profession has
run away with him and caused him 10 utter
these most detestable ISLANDERS the gentle kiss.
When he is older he will know that his profess
sion does not require any such sacrifice Of him.
When he loses the present case, as he certainly
must. it will begin to open his eyes to. this fact.

those who are citizens are naturalized, but many
Of them are not citizens at all. We do not be-
leve in any discrimination between natural and
naturalized citizens, excepting such as the Con-
stiution itself makes. But II any should be
made, 1t surely must be in favor Of the former.
And when the line is drawn between American
citizens and unnaturaizcd aliens. there can be
no doubt as to the side on which our sympathcs
and our preferences should be.
These considerations will probably have no
weight with the clownish demagoguc who at
present defles the Executive Chair Of Illinois.
Or il they do, they will incline him to the side
Of violence and disorder. which he loves, and
against true Amcricanism, which he hates. But
there are forces, even In Illinois. more potent
than an Anarchist Governor, and more lasting.

ONE OF THE PROPHETS.

Mr. Edward Atkinson gives the reins TO his
Imagination in THE Engineering Magazine"
discussing the signs Of the times and the pros
pcrity that is to come. His estimates are beauti
full, as dreams always should be, and are more
correct than most dreams. but it would hardly
answer to accept his figures as statistics. For
instance. much Of his reasoning Is based on
supposed consumption Of $50 pounds Of iron per
capita, for which he states that he has the au
thorlty OF Mr.. Swark. But Mr.. Swank's own
official statement tells different story. The
production and the decrease Of unsod stocks for
the year ending June 80 amounted to S,OS2 2229
gross tons. or 1S.1O4, 900 900 pounds, and the
importatiOns In eleven months ending with May
added enough TO make 1917 100000 pounds
estimating imports In June we may call the
total consumption 1882, 100000 pounds. or
272.54 pounds per capita for the population Of
January l as stated by the Treasury. Mr. At
knson Is quite right In dlsbelievng the census
OF 1890. but II larger population were as
sumed. the consumption OF iron per capita would
be still less
The first half Of 1895, II Is true, has shown a
little larger consumpton-about 2S2 pounds per
capita. 1t Is also true that old iron remanufact-
but that does not in the least affect the consump-
tion whether ton Of iron Is rerolled one time
or twenty times 1t Is after all only one ton OF
iron consumed. The estimate that 95OOO 900
gross tons will be required this year Is appar-
emily extravagan; the largest consumption ever
known in any half year would not make the ag.

plainly shows the existence Of such possibility
since he had already filed protest against the
Defenders conduct at Sandy Hook. We believe
Lord Dunraven to be too sincere and straightfor-

the Defender might have involved National
calamity. which Mr.. Willard has at least done his
mart toward preventing.

The strength Of the temperance sentiment
among the Roman Catholics Of the country may
no doubt be fairly gagged by the numbers and
enthusiasm Of the delegates and others attending
the convention Of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union which opened in this city yesterday The
Union has some 10000 members and the present
convention Is a notable gathering Several high
dgntaries In the church are taking part In It.,
and the public meeting last evening enlisted the
active interest OF Mayor Strong, Commissioner
Roosevelt and other welknown citizens. The
holding Of this convention at the time when the
Excise law is being rigidly enforced here naur-
ally furnishes material for the pointing of many
morals.
timely pamphlet has been issued by General
Rodenbough Chief of the Bureau Of Elections
giving instructions in reference to the use of the
blanket ballot. OF which the people Of this State
will get their first practical knowledge at the No
yembcr election. The change from the multiple
ity Of ballots heretofore delivered TO voters will
be welcome one. and 1t will not take them long
TO get accustomed TO the new system. The pres
ent Ballot law is by no means perfect piece Of
legislation, but the substitution Of one ballot for
dozen. more or less, is an undoubted improve
ment upon the only sort of ballot reform which

in the little difficulty that has arisen between
the Vigllant and the Defender, the weight of
opinion among yachtsmen seems to lie with the
former, and the new yacht is severely blamed for
the tactics she employed on Tuesday although
the Regatta Committee sustains the Defender. Mr.
Willard acted magnanimously In withdrawing the
Vigilant from the other races of the week, instead
OF entering formal protest, since, according to
the statement made by him yesterday, protest, II
sustained, might prevent the Defender from con-
tending with the Dunraven yacht In the cup con-

A Chaotic Scene.

A visit to the axle cease factory on
Wednesday presented a scene Of chaos
out Of which the casual observer might
readily believe Il years time would be
required to restore order. Two cars of
miscellaneous machinery were standing
upon the side track, n part OF whl.l had
been unloaded upon the platform await
ing adjustment. In the main building
Master Mechanic Mills was engaged in
putting in additional timbers to give
greater strength and |permanency in the
support ofthe vast weight of machinery
not yet in place. Parts o. machinery Of
every conceivable character strewn
around in endless confusion met the eve
on every hand. Timbers of varying
character ana dressed ceiling in quanti-
ty were piled in various places awaiting
the hand Of the mechanic to adjust to
the purposes for which they are intend
ed, the whole presenting 4 scene which
cannot fail to impress the observer with
the magnitude of the enterprise under
contemplation, and with the further fact
that, it Will require at least two months
yet to put the plant in condition TO
ope ate, and it is the opinion Of the
writer, based upon a thorough ~investi-
CATION Of the situation, that a larger
force than is now employed will be re-
quired TO complete the plant within the
time stated.
1t is gratifying to note that the ma
chinery is all Of the latest and most APP
proved character, and that under the
mastery direction of Mr.. Mills, the
greatest care j. observed IA the matter Of
performing the mechanical work in the
most substantial and workman-like
manner, without reference to the time
consumed, or expense involved !.
1t would now seem to be Il forgone
conclusion, however discouraging the
outlook may have appeared at times in
the past, that the promoters of this very
important enterprise are deeply in earn.
est in their intentions to make their
plant q model one, and TO operate il "a
its full capacity as soon a. it shall be
completed in accordance with the ex-
celleut plans, upon which they have
wisely decided to follow in its construc-
ton.

NJ. Bartholet, an Italian, who has
formerly been employed at the Harris
saw mill a few miles north Of this place,
was arrested on Thursday by Deputy
Sheriff McCielland upon the charge of
insanity and is nov confined in the
county jail awaiting examination by the
board Of insanity. His mania | not of
the violent type, being quiet and reti-
for his strange and eccentric manner
during the period of his residence here,
and while it has been apparent to all
that he was not entirely sane. his quiet
disposition and his ability to carr n
livelihood seemed to be sufficient war
rant for permission to run at large. His
arrest on Thursday was due to the fact
Of his taking possession Of a quantity of
lumber belonging to AIr. Harris, and by
force, preventing its removal upon the
plea that Harris was in his deb. for
labor. He il said to have become very
violent, and when the officer arrived
upon the scene he was armed with a
Ratchet, which was finally, with much
difficulty, taken from him, and he was
brought to the city. But little is known
Of his history, other than that he vas at
u time employed On the Panama rail
road, where he lost his wife and family 10y
death from a prevailing fever.
