The Change Begins

DETROIT. Mich, Oct. 20.--A blizzard
struck Michigan last night at midnight
and has been raging with great violence
ever since. The mercury has fallen to
below the freezing point and the wind
has increased from twelve to thirty miles
an hour. Nearly every point in the state
reports furries Of snow. The heaviest
fall was in the upper peninsula, and the
south bound South Shore and Atlantic
train pulled into Mackinaw City tonigh
with its trucks covered with snow. In
the lower peninsula the fall was sufficient
to cover t. e ground in some places. The
indications are for continUancs of the
present wind and cold.

Firebrand Foraker of Ohio very ac-
curately measured his own caliber when
he expressed his sorrow that the proof
sheets of Senator Sherman's book ha.
not been withheld until after the election
because of its criticism of some prominent
Republicans. The thing which interests
this spectacular ranter is not the truth
or falsity of Sherman's assertions or the
accuracy of his criticisms, but the effect
1t has on the contest for them off ces. 1"
1t is hardly conceivable that the state
which has sent Chase, Corwin. Thurman,
Pendleton and Sh erman to the senate
could suffer the representation of Foraker.
If this diminutive politician with his
hopes resting on the ignorance and pref
udices of the people should climb into
the senatorial seat, he would rattle
around with every agitation of the august
body like snriveled up pea in an over
grown pod.

The denomination of Mayor Ping-ee for
fourth term by the recent Republican
convention of Detroit Is the victory of
strong and noble personality over the
m achine element of his party. Mayor
Pingree has become famous through put
ting into successful practice the PROPOSE
tion that there is no reason for idle labor
as long as there is idle land. Acting on
this belief few years since, when a large
mum ber of deserving poor were In actual
want, he commenced campaign on the
vacant lots OF the city which had for its
OBJECT the conversion of the unused areas
into iie-susaining vegetable patches.
He secured from the holders OF these lots
permission for their use, and in a short
time several hundred men who had long
been out of work were earning a decent
living. OF late the mayor has been hold
ing some radical ideas on economic ques-
tions that threaten to take him out of th g
party of which he has so long been a
mem Der. 1t is safe to say that he is nov
a merely nominal Republican.

A VIcTI1 To BOSSiSM

Thomas Ashworth, the recently indict-
ed street superintendent of San Francisco,
is one of the oldest and most respected
citizens of that city. Officially he is a
creature OF bossism; he came to the sur
face OF San Francisco politics at time
when only the creations of the boss could
rise.
Now he is q victim of bossism. He is
charged with malfeasauce in Office by
the grand jury. He is not charged thus
because of anything he has personally
done, his own integrity IL not questioned,
bat because of things be has permitted
his sIbordinates to do. The grand jury
holds him Individually responsible for
the management of his Office and visits
the sins of his underlings upon him self.
Undoubtedly the jury has taken the cor
rect view, but 1t is little unpleasant for
MIR. Ash worth. Vet it is predicament
that threatens every man who is merely
the nominal head OF an important muni-
cipal department; and Mr.. Ashworth is
nothing more than the nominal head of
his department. The real head of his de-
partment is the boss who permitted him
to assume the title OF street superintend-
ent and who appoints the various subor-
dinates from the roster of his following.
The condition developed by this grand
jury investigation exists in every boss
ridden city and is one of the evils of boss
ism of the Buckley Kelly-Crocker stripe
that is little appreciated by the public.
Every office having the disbursement
of large sums of money. the employment
of con siderable number of people or the
letting of valuable contracts, the average
municipal boss nails fast 10 and the re-
spectacle citizen who assumes the head
ship of such an Office for the sake OF the
salary, minus the boss's usual percent
age, imperils his reputation and possibly
his liberty. Mr.. Ashworth probably real
iZes this fact now.
Bosses want offices of Importance for
all that there is in them, and, If in order
to get that all, corruption and thevery
are essential, why corruption and thieverv
60 and the man in front stands the brunt,
while the people stand the cost.

GONE TO HIS DEATH.

The foolish North Pole craze prob
ably marks another tragedy. The
hunts for that ice-bound end of the
world where death and cold silence
reign have resulted in a long list of
fatalities and horrors. In their DESC
lation and despair men have eaten
their kind. Peary has not been heard
from. He took his young wife as far
as he could without sacrificing the life
of their babe and then sent her back
by returning vessel. lie pushed Oh
in the interest of science q TO find
more than likely only death. 1t is
doubtful if any scientific or other
interest could be served by anyone
reaching the North Pole.
However, the season is far advanced
and nothing has been heard of Peary
and nothing has been accomplished by
his wife toward putting afloat the ex-
pedition which is to save him from a
grave Of ice and perpetual snow in
which his body viii remain intact till
the day Of judgment if not found and
devoured by some wild animal. No
mumification or embalming can equal
the preservative powers Of the cold
where he was when last heard from.
In the meantime his wife is making
frantic appeals for a necessary $4,000
for his rescue if alive. But the pub
lie is tired Of this North Pole non
sense. The romance of the venture
has exhaled. Mrs. Pearys devotion
to her husband is no less natural than
commendable, and the fact that it is
an American enterprise solely ought
to awaken an enthusiasm but there is
none and the chances are that Mr..
Feary will be left to his fate.

wINDMuL.S FOR STOVES.

Now in this year of our Lord 1895
comes NJ. w. HaZelton, an inventor of
Chicago, and after being duly sworn
says, that it is possible TO make heat
with windmills. He declares that it
is common knowledge that when three
cubic feet of air are condensed into
one cubic foot of space the latent heat
is three times as great as before.
Heating by wind is to make the wind
mills operate as air-compreSSors which
will condense air and produce heat.
The heat will be made to heat water
and produce steam and the water can
be conducted through the building in
pipes just as it is.
Mr.. Hazelton has applied for patent
on this idea. If there is anything in
it, except wind, Kansas is saved. None
of us will hereafter he the slaves of
the coal dealer. There will be no cell
lars with steep stairways TO break our
shins on in Juggling the scuttle 10 the
stove.
Every back yard in Kansas will have
a windmill whirling gaily in the breeze.
The air will he socked closely together
and will throw out heat like base

hired girl will stand in the kitchen.
turn on the faucet and the beefsteak
will fry and fiZz and We shall all be

We have plenty of wind in Kansas
and SO one of the principle difficulties
is surmOunted at the start. The Kan
sas wind is always around when want
ed. If it goes oft on a frolic the Texas
Zeyphrs slip up from the south and
take the native winds place. But
what Kansas is lacking is heat. II
the wind can supply this Kansas will
stand forth in perfected statehood.
Kansans will no longer stand around
in their overcoats in July shivering
their yest-buttons off; the usual biz
yards which kill off our corn in the
blue dreary month of August will no
longer have any terrors: limbs Will no
longer be broken from slipping on the
treacherous sidewalks in June.
Kansas wants more heat The peo-
pie have been frozen long enough. II
wind will supply heat we can have IL.
and the sooner the young inventor can
tell us how To condense our air the
better.

AN OBITUARY TO WHIRLwIND.

Placed high on bare, leafless poles
between the burning stars above and
the blooming flowers below, Old Chief
WhirlWind lies, dead, with none but
the prairie wind, with murmurous
plant to sing his requiem; no floral
tribute but the scattered daisies that
the sun has strewn below; with no
vault but the violet mists in the dome
Of star-studded sky.
WhirlWind'S nature was one that
found brotherhood in the birds; father
hood in the laundering passions of the
tempestuous elements, and companion
ship in all save man. Without knowI-
edge or analysis OF color or combina-
tion, the wild rose charmed his un-
trained eyes, with no note of measure,
melody or time the warbled ecstacies
OF the robin and the thrush filed him
with delight; without precept on duty
OR text for sympathetic love he was the
saviour of the jaded steed and the
friend of the stricken sparrow.
So loving, hearing and seeing, he
had but one discordant fibre in his
composition-and that contentious
quality that turned and embittered
him until the end
Resenting the peaceful legislative
conquest of the Indians domain. when
the allOting agents with their roods
and colored poles and lens mounted
tripods invaded the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country, and, with such
peaceful weapons, Subjugated it,
Whlrlwind in high dudgeon, with his
little band hovering about him swept
hastily west, by night and by day,
deaf to all tenders OF advantag geous
covenants and refusing all treaties.
Oyertaken, without listening TO per
suasion or admitting his defeat, he
was forced to accept his limited.
staked and surveyed quota of earth.
This was his contentious spirit-a
spirit of possession-a savage claim
to the right and possession of all the
land that was to him enclosed in the
distant encircling horizon-not to till.
not to cultivate, not to change into
barterable grain, but to have-to hold
with Its bright limpid streams. and I'M
disturbed wild-woods and stretches of
unbroken prairie-prized alone for its
solitude and primeval wildneSS.
His claim could not have been inst.
or his right tenable-not when the star
of the closing century directs men to
slave, to toll, moi. forge and weld for
material gain-not when reverential
love of Nature and Natures God is
voted the verieSt worthlesSness and
idle dreaming
And so all things considered it is
best that the prairie wind must now
sing its murmurOus plaint in sorrow
over the passing of this Child of Ma
ture. who lived ont of joint with his
times, to be overtaken and ground
under hy the sweeping rule of the de-
Sires. which become the needs. of civ
iliZed man.

him at last but the offices and taxes
live on increasing in number, in i'm
portance and in volume.
The most important office. at least
the one in which the fellow who must
pay taxes and die is particularly in
terested and concerned is the tax
gatherer, in this instance known as
the county treasurer. To him as a
man of level headedness and integrity
all look up. He must be of the very
best that the community has to offer
in the way of manhood.
He is in Wichita today, approximate

most worthy are doubly welcome to
Wichita and to the best Of all her Of
