Who does about the best he can
Is plenty good enough to suit
This lower mundane institute,
No matter ef his daily walk
Is subject fer his neighbours talk,
And critic minds of ev'ry whim
Jest all get up and go fer him.
It's nacllural enough, | guess,
When some gets more and some gets less,
Fer them that's on the slimmest side
To claim it amt a fair divide,
And I've knowed some to lay in wait
And get up soon and set up late
To kctch some fellow they would hate
Fer goin at a faster gait.
The signs is bad when folks
A-finGin fault With Providence
And balkin cause the world don shake
At ev'ry p~rancin step they take.
No man is great till he can see
How less han little he would be
Ell stripped to self, and stark and bare
He hung his sign out everywhere.
Ny doctrin' is to lay aside
Contentious and be satisfied;
Jest do your best, and praise ~ blame

And It's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest.

THE FUTURE OF EUROPE.
LIE Bon, the French Historian, Predicts an
Oriental Influx.

Thu French historian LIE Bon in a re-
cent article predicts that Europe will
become the seat for despotism and later
for barharism and incur the same fate
as the Byzantine and the Persian en-
,ires. Next the Slavs will destroy the
old culture, and then Europe will be
overrun with the orientals, particularly
the Chinese and the Hindoos.
According to Professor LIE Bon's
views, a general European wal will be
succeeded by terrible economic cOndi-
tons. The orient is already commence
ing to be the producer for Europe in
stead of being the consumer, and Eu-
rope, in spite of its tariff protection,
will find it impossible to check the
food. India is now exporting it's prod
uce, which, in spite of transportation
expenses, is sold at a lower figure than
the European, and India, provided with
machinery, is now competing with Eu-
rope in the manufacturing market.
China, when its war with Japan is
over, will follow midas example.
When India and China, with their
enormous deposits of coal, have a mass
of factories in operation, they will over
whelm the European markets with their
products and place the European work
man in the position where he must eli
Their starve to death from lack of work
or starve Oh absolutely insufficient
wages. The oriental workman will not,
as experience has shown, desert their
cheap food--toa and rice-for our more
expensive food or European Injuries.
Professor LIE Bon's views, says LIE
Temps, may be drawn in dark %colors,
but every one familiar with political
economy must to a certain extent in
dorse them. The European markets il
certain of their branches are now anG
have for some time felt the killing in
huence of economical competition from
the oriental countries, and when suci
conditions exist now what will they b.
when these countries will be equipped
with European machinery and pro
ducing its articles with the same facil
ity as is now done in Europe? It ma.
not come in our time, but a future gen
Grafton will have a difficult problem t.
solve.

AN APPELLATE COURT.

The Kansas Bar Association Talks for It.
The Banquet Tonight.
In furtherance of D. NJ. Valentines adj
dress of yesterday on THE Supreme
Court" recommending the establishment
of the one or more appellate courts in
the state to take off the hands of the So
preme court about five years of deIin-
quent business, the association spent
most of this morning discussing the
plan.
There were about 125 lawyers pres
ent.
1t was decided, after a spirited argu-
ment as to whether there should be one,
two or three of the appellate courts rec
commended, that one would be enough
and recommendation to that effect will
be made to the legislature at an early
date.
The question of location was discussed
to some extent and the association seemed
TO be IN favor of Topeka as the best
point for the establishment of an appel
late court, partly because the only per-
feet law library in the state is at the state
house.
A resolution was introduced by n. II.
LOOMS, recommending the changing of
the law governing admissions to the bar
30 that they would be placed in the hands
or under the supervision of the supreme
court. As it now stands the district
Judges have power to admit and some Of
