TERRA INcoGNITo

II Is said that some time AGO an army
officer was detailed to go upon secret
mission to Canada. to make an examin-
alton of that country and then report.
But the father of this man. who HIM
self is retired naval officer. caused a
personal notice to be inserted in a
paper 10 the effect that h.S son had
been sent on IN official mission to
Canada. The Young man was in con
sequence instantly recalled. Subse-
Quenty another officer was sent. but
unfortunately some friend Of his had
similar notice printed after he had
been absent two or three weeks. He
also was recalled. 1t furthermore is
said that the war department is with.
out the desired Information.
This story looks Ike an attennt 10
cover up the fact that the information
has been secured. unless it is merely IN
idle report sent ont Icy some CORES
pondent who felt that Ire had to do
something To earn his salary and could
think Of nothing better TO do.
II IS hardly 10 lie believed that the
American war department IS without
accurate Information concerning can
ada, its geography and topography. in
80 far as il might be essential for ef-
fective military operations. Il would
be an easy matter 10 secure this in

The Information could be- obtained hv
officers and others while spending \
vacation or 81 least a pretended vsoa-
ton in Canals. The Germans knew
France better than ;he French. and
they obtained the information without
difficulty.
II is understood that in The German
naval office there are accurate mans

al Important har6ors. When this in

WICHITA GETS a BLAST.

The political and official organ Of this
state sails under the rustling name OF
| the Kansas Breeze. This nuncupatory
| Breeze in being principally wind would
| not pass for more than an ordinarily
gentle zephyr were it not for its blow.
1t also whistles and shrieks. In all
| these particulars it is no less typical OF
Kansas than of Kansas statesmen. 1t
is said Freedom shrieked when koSSi-
usko fell. If anything ever fell when
the Breeze shrieked the noise of the
fall was SO slight as not to attract our
attention. Still the Breeze evidently
imagines that it is sharp enough to be
cutting. SO in its last issue il works
up a little storm center and proceeds
TO blast Wichita, also the Eagle, and
its editor
Before proceeding to explain what
a political and official organ is we
pause TO remark that if the editor Of
the Breeze knows no more of the af
fairs of Wichita than he knows Of the
color of the editor of the Eagles hair,
nor no more Of the concerns of the
state than he does those OF Wichita,
then the bliss of his ignorance must
transcend the ecstacies of paradise.
But the Breeze is the official organ Of
the state. Wind or Blow would be
just as appropriate names for an organ
as Breeze. Organs are mostly for the
noise that can be worked out of them
by crank-manipulatiOn. To establish
the traditional official organ a shirt
tail full Of old type and a secondhand
hand-press were held to be perquisites.
But in the fin Iii steele eXpedients of a
more advanced civilization the only re-
quisite is the proprietOrship of a pull"
In fact modern statecraft seems 10
have been resolved into three elements,
each essential in its field, viz: The
pull" the push and the ''hold-up."
The pull acquires the organ, the or
gan engineers the push" and the
'hold-up" is the resultant evolution.
The paper belonging to the owner of a
pull" however Insignificant or shaky
the sheet and though unheard Of as to
four out Of five residents, may be the
official county or q state organ, full
fiedged with authority to dictate to the
push and to sit down on the .'hold- ,
up" The official state organ for the !
past year, we believe, was 4 little coun- |
try paper published in Franklin coun- /
ty. It's proprietor had pull" A |
paper like the Eagle could never be !
permitted to be a state organ. Not |
only would both the push" and pull |
dissent, but also the 'hold-up.' The |
''hOid-up" arm OF this combination |
finds its best exponent in the legiSla-
tor. He holds up everything from the
railroads and all kinds of corporate !
combines TO the dirtiest little job con-
ceivable. Nothing save the courts is
to the ''hold-up" OF the legis-
lat0r. In fact the Kansas senate held
up the governor Of the state only last
winter in the organization of the ap-
pellate courts, but the legislature as a
whole signally failed in an attempt to
hold up some eight or ten district
courts and judges.
SO it is matter Of no small moment
and of serious import to be "held up"
by pull that has push" behind
It, as was Wichita, the Eagle and its
editor, by the Breeze, the official organ
Of the state, in its last issue.

UNDERGROUND TROLLEYS.

The experiment Of runnig cars by
underground electricity in New York
is being watched with interest. The
road runs in One Hundred and Ninth
street, Manhattan avenue, One Hun
dred and Sixteenth street and LenOx
avenue to the Harlem river After
experimenting for several weeks the
road has been thrown open to travel.
II is believed that if il is as successful
as the engineers of the new railway
predict that il will be, the managers
of many other Street-car lines in New
York, as well as in other cities, Will
want 10 change from horse power and
from the cable to underground cleo
tricify. Assistant Engineer Hirt, of
the Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany, says the cars on the new line
have run without hitch from the
start, and people who Travelled ON the
line express delight with the running of
the cars. At first sight the new cleo
trical road looks like a cable road, as
there is a conduit for the electrical con-
ground midway between the car rails.
The motors of the cars take the cleo
tricity from the conductors in the con-
duits by means of a plough" which
has much the appearance of grip
used on cable car. The cars of the
new electrical road run smoothly and
with very little noise. There is none
of the humming noticeable in the run
ming of trolley cars, because there are
two conductors in each conduit, one for
positive electricity and the other for
negative electricity, and they both sup
ply currents to the car motors. For
the same reason no electricity goes to
the rails of the car track, and person
could not receive a shock by stepping
upon one of the rails close to the car.
a similar railroad is now in course Of
construction in Washington, d. c., and
will be in operation in a few weeks.

that Whitney is the strongest man that
the Democrats could nominate for
president. Editor New has not
watched Democratic methods all these

CLEVELAND'S PARTY.

Last fall, when the once great and
ancient Democratic party managed TO
carry thirteen congressional districts
in the North, on the face of the returns,
it picked up two seats in the house of
representatives from the big state of
Illinois. That is, it appeared to have
found two districts there which it
could carry. In one the plurality of
the Bourbon said to have been elected
was just 81. In the other the margin
was 40.
They are recOunting the votes in the
first OF these stray districts 1t is the
Third district of Illinois, and it is in
the slaughter-house section of Chicago.
The result of the recount is not yet
definitely known, but the Democratic
plurality Of 81 has been wiped out,
and the Republican candidate Is more
than 100 ahead of Larry" McGann,
the Democrat who was supposed TO
have saved his seat Incidentally,
three or four election officers have been
arrested for gross neglect of duty and
participation in frauds.
This Chicago investigation indicates
that If the full truth were known the
Democrats would have credit for car
ryinS not more than ten districts, hon.
eStly, in all the NJ ern states.

German scientist was engaged in max
ing an examination of the harbor at
San Francisco for purely scientific pur-
poses. That is the way the story was
given to the public at the time 1t
may be taken for granted that all the
information that man obtained found
its way into the archives of the Ger
man navy. 1t is TO be presumed that
the American war department has
sense enough to obtain its informa-
ton as carefully. The war depart
ment has been asleep if it did not long
ago obtain all needed information
about Canada.
