THEODOSIA BURR

The October number of the Century
Magazine has published from the pen
of DR.. John Williamson Palmer, with
a series OF fine illustrations by A.
Hencke. the sad story Of the beautiful
Theodosia Aston. the wife of Governor
Aston of South Carolina, while on her
way by sea to meet her father. Aaron
Burr. in New York, after his duel with
Hamilton, and to console him as only
a daughter could in the disgrace in
which he had fallen The pilot-boat
in which she embarked was lost on the
coast. and it was not until years after
ward it was known that it was decoyed
to destruction by wreckers. and all on
board forced to walk the plank"
The actual fate of TheodoSia Aston
was not known for a long time, and
for many years it was discussed and
made the subject of sad conjecture at
many firesides.
DIR. Palmer. taking his inspiration
from the confession of two criminals
who were subsequently tried and hung
at Norfolk. has told in bold, vigorous,
picturesque verse the story Of that
awful crime, making the wreckers
themselves the tellers OF IL In no
other way could it have been depicted
with such power Of expression. or the
brutality of the men who lived by plum
der and murder so strongly brought
out We see in it all the lawlessness,
all the recklessness, drunkenness and
cupidity which in those days made
such bloody misdeeds possible. and the
quality of the verse, powerful as the
strokes of trip-hammer, is in keeping
with the theme. 1t has offered TO the
artist opportunities for sketching the
lives of these marauders-the moving
of the decoy light along the sand dunes,
the coming of the doomed vessel, Its
seizure and the dreadful fate of its
passengers. The first plate, which
shows the wreckers carousing. is not
as strong as it might have been, but
that where TheodOsia Aston, with her
pale face and mourning dress, moves
among the wreckers is very good,
while that in which she stands. on the
plank with her face uplifted and her
arms outspread is strikingly fine and
by far the best of the series. The
poem itself, in incidents and graphic
strength. is one of the best we have
read for many years.

HITS THE FARMER.

Wrong the farmer by depressing
his interests and every conceivable in
dustry, and every possible line of trade
is hurt. The prosperity of the pro-
Queer is indissolubly linked with every
other interest of mankind, for from
production spring all things else. Now,
there is no class of citizens suffering
more from the effects of the Wilson
Cleveland tariff bill than the farmer,
not even excepting the manufacturer.
The Wilson bill and the gold standard
combined have done the business for
the American farmer, for all that he
raises, for even the land he owns. From
sweet potatoes to horses, from eggs to
wool and hay, nothing that the farm
er's land produces directly in the way
of grain or indirectly in the way of
livestock but that has been squeezed
by the appreciation of gold upon the
one hand and tariff which diScrim-
mates against him upon the other. The
degree to which the agriculturist's in
tereSt has been sacrificed for tariff re-
form. Clevelandism and democracy is
even greater than the losses that have
come TO other branches of industry
since early in the year 1893. The
American farmer now needs no in
StructiOn TO open his eyes to the fact
that an increase of from S761, $40 to
81 ,433, 1f6 in the value of imports of
hay in this country II 1895 over those
of 1894 means 50 much less for him TO
sell. He is not long in perceiving
that such results demonstrate beyond
question that We have not captured the
Democratic myth, 1.-The markets of the
world" but on the other hand that we
have lost the best market in the world
the United States. The reduction Of
the duty on salt by which he makes
about 81 cents per year will not COM

account of free wool and the horizontal
reduction of hay, hops, butter. eggs
and other products OF the farm. and
he knows it now. Even the one-sided

FEMALE SUFFRAGE AGAIN.

Woman is more persistent than man.
The cause of female suffrage would
have long since ceased to be discussed
had the question been left with its
male advocates. 1t has been woman
who has kept it alive. Death alone
can silence the tongue of that woman
whose heart is enlisted. be the problem
what it may. If it should ever turn
out that a majority of women desired
the ballot with its duties and respon-
sibilities the demand would be quickly
affirmatively responded TO. But the
great majority of women have never
taken any interest in the proposed in
noyation. The time seems at hand,
however, when they will. And woman
will settle the question. In the state
of New York such an interest has been
aroused in the constitutional amend
ment widening the electoral franchise
by striking out the word male" that
the women who see that voting is more
a disagreeable responsibility than a
privilege, are organizing. They are
appealing to the men Of the state 20
vote for no man for the legislature who
is not opposed to imposing upon the
great majority of women an unwel-
come and unsuitable duty. This move
ment will, or at least may practically
refer the issue to the women them
selves. Men are not going to force this
extra responsibility upon women
against her will however loud the
Chapman-Catts, the little Diggses and
Johns may wall. When women are
enfranchised if ever. they will be COM
PEELED to vote as surely as their
brothers, husbands and fathers. The
press of the interests involved in every
election. personal and political, will
force their attendance at the polls,
even if they could remain unmoved
by the individual activity of those of
their own sex with whom they were
not in love.

scorcher whom the people of Sedg-

the Democratic party. Before he Re

Pop leaders in this county sold out TO
the Democratic bosses and sold cheap.

nothing but the interests of the fell

as ring ''knock outs" for money are
concerned. Any other state might
have passed the law enacted last week
by the Texas legislature, but the pass
age of such a law by no other state
would have had such an effect. Of
the wild and woolly west Texas has
been viewed as the least restrained.
But the home of the cowboy having
held prizefighting to be brutal, and Rot
to be countenanced, will come pretty
nearly setting the question. The fed
eral authorities, with such an object
lesson will hardly permit the fight TO
be pulled off, in the Indian Territory.
Prizefighting grew out Of exhibitions
a contest was not nearly SO dangerous
or brutal as modern football. But it
has not been long since one of the par
ties to the present proposed contest
killed his opponent by a single blow.
And so the prize game of football will
have TO go or otherwise be rendered
less dangerous TO life and limb. Only
a few years ago Texas permitted ring
pugilism upon the payment Of $500 for
each encounter, but now Texas de-
clares it to be brutal and a felony.
These glove contests for the future will
have to be conducted quietly in club
rooms and the like without previous
advertising and in such a way as not
to force the attention of the auth0ri

THAT MORA CLAIM.

long drawn out diplomacy, being at

occurring what it was all about any
way, and who was Mora that Spain
should have been compelled to pay the
United States a million or two of dol
lars for. Before the late war, in the
early fifties, more than forty years ago,
a rich Cuban planter by the name Of
Maxine Mora, wealthy gentleman Of
Castillian descent, came to New York
and settled. He was the manager of
two large sugar estates in Cuba, owned
by his family, and soon after his arri-
val here he began sugar broking

been making efforts to obtain justice
from Spain and compensation for the
damages he suffered. On Saturday,

A BLOT IN KANSAS HISTORY.

Revolutions have resulted from less
cause than the attempt at Wichita TO
overturn self-government. We shall al
ways believe that the most dastardly blot
in Kansas history was the Wichita affair.
l-Atchison Globe.
There is no self-government in Wich-
ita- The government of its people has
been overturned, and the officers elect
ed by the people are powerless. The
| city is in the hands of a cabal, who
make law a pretense, a junto not one of
whom could be elected to any place.
The city is ruled by the tools Of fac
ton, appointed by the governor of the
state over the protest Of four thousand
people in mass meeting assembled
These tools are nothing, nobody, being
, materially Of no importance and. polit-
ically irresponsible. Their power in
heres in state temperance union with
headquarters at Topeka, that dictates
the policy of the state administration,
with which union the people Of this
city have no voice. They are direct
ed and controlled by another, appoint
ed at Topeka as representative of the
states attorney, who as man is iras-
chile, as an official unrelenting. This
cabal appointed its own judge, its own
city marshal and its own police force.
Over it all hangs the suspicion of poiiti-
cal jobbery, official crookedness and
money corruption. Every official
whom this junto has found impossible
to bend to their purposes has been de-
posed. The man into whose hands
they have placed the police patrol and
the lives and property of our citizens,
only last winter made public disclos-
ures Of his former official career such
as shocked the conscience of upright
citizens. There is no community in
the world, not excepting the penal set
Elements of Siberia, that is more ut
terly hopeless and helpless so far as
self-government is concerned, than are
the people of Wichita, Kansas, United
States of America. The voice of the
people is not the voice Of God in this
unfortunate city, is indeed as impotent
as the moan Of the Autumnal winds
about the window easements of the
room in which we write these lines Of
sad confession and humiliation. Men
and women who never drank a drop Of
spirituous liquor in their lives, others
of us who came TO Kansas at a time
when nine out of ten of its inhabitants
were Indians and bushwhackers, who
have in years Of patience, through
mental MOL and physical toll built
modest homes of comfort, are anxiously
looking for an opportunity to dispose
of their all, their dread Of new start
and settlement in life being less than
the uncertainty and distraction Of
high-handed rule in which they have
neither voice nor will, in which they
have no interest save the one which
compels them to foot the expenses by
a taxation which in the end must prove
confiScation-
