Wfndmi1Is of Enormous Proportions May
Be Seen Soon.
A crude invention called the "Jumbo'
wind engine is now coming into extern
sive use in western Kansas. Its ease OF
construction economy in cost, capacity
in power and simplicity seem to recon-
mend it to those who observe its works
1t resembles the paddle wheel of
stern wheel boat with a shaft IL or IA
feet long, is ~ or Is feet across, with six
or eight arms. The lower half of this
wheel is shielded from the wind so that
the air acts only upon the upper vanes.
A crank upon one end of the shaft con-
meets with pump. Its power can ne
indefinitely increased at any time by in
crossing its length which can be done
by anyone who is handy with tools. 1t
is said that Jumbo" giving 100 horse
power in fifteen mile wind can be put
on this sort of paddle wheel from all
points of the compass except two.
1t seems to require no governor" but
simply pumps more during a storm. No
tower is required, and it is placed 80 that
the radial arms will be clear of the
ground. In fact, in western Kansas,
where there are few trees and no hills, it
is claimed that the wind currents have
greater force at the surface than high in
the air. One of these wind wheels, now
running, is twenty one feet in diameter,
twenty-seven feet long, with eight fans.
There may be many wind power Ferris
wheels in the states of the plains, bring
ing fertility where is aridity.
Perhaps in this crude device for rails
ing water. for irrigation in a wind-swept
country there is the germ of an idea,
which, when fully developed and perfec-
ted, may become widely useful. If So
it will. be quickly improved. for it is
watched by many eager and anxious
eyes, and now the development of an
implement requires days, where former
ly centuries were needed, The crude
Jumbo" of today may become the per-
in level and treeless sections of country.

tIOnaI Judiciary"
Ex-Adjutunt General Fl. II. Artz, who
now lives in rooms in the Hicks fats at
Sixth and Tyler streets, is writing q
book.
He is going to call it 1.-THE Power of
the National Judiciary"
In it he takes the stand that there is
no national government in the United
States outside of the national Judiciary.
That no matter what laws congress may
see fit to pass. it yet remains for the su-
preme court to pass upon them as the
highest authority in the land. from which
there is positively no appeal.
The book will be in pamphlet form
and contain about one hundred pages
Several instances of the power of the
court will be cited. among them notably
the income tax decision in which the
author says the court entirely set at de-
fiance the will of the people it is there
to serve. The Debs decision will also
come in for twist and so will the deci-
sion in the case of Dartmouth college,

laws of the state of Vermont in regard
to colleges were counted for nothing

Governor Morrill, said he was greatly
surprised that there were any saloons in

ers left the executive office the governor
promised them that he would issue an
order TO the Atchison police commits
siOners to close the saloons gambling
houses and disorderly houses of that town

the LEGISLATURE.

The general assembly has now lalr'y
started off with IS work.
A large amount of unfinished business
was brought over from the session OF
1894. and this is being supplemented oy
the nsual influx of new bills, both OF
local and general character. The most
important measures of the latter class
are
/. A bill providing for new system
of balloting in all general elections Inc
plan proposed by the measure no" penu-
ing in the legislature embodies the nam
footnres of what is known as the Aus
tralian ballot.
Q. A bill to provide for the establish
ment of liquor dispensaries in all coun-
ties, control of the same to be vested
absolutely in the state and county au'
thorties. and the revenue derived there
from to 60 into the common treasury.
This is known as the Bush anti-slaoon
bill, and its passage will abolish all sa-
looms in the state, and liquor establish
ments of whatever character.
8. A bill to provide for holding con-
stitutional convention.
4. A bill to define the legal status OF
all military organizations in the state.
Il is by no means unlikely that some
measure will be introduced, also, provid-
ing for the proper disposition. of the
state convicts at the expiration of the
present lease. The lease will not expire
until 1896, but, if no other action is taken,
a commission will probably be appointed
to formulate plan and report TO the leg
islature at its session in 1896.
1t will be necessary, also, to increase
the annual appropriation for the support
of INDECENT and infirm confederate vete-
rams. The general assembly, at its ses-
sion in 1894, appropriated $50, 900 for this
object. but it has been found to De vastly
inadequate, and either the annuity must
be decreaced or the appropriation IN
creased. 1t is estimated that much
larger amount will be required to meet
these payments than was appropriated
last year--probably 100000.
1t may be expected, therefore, that the
session will furnish abundant entertain
ment to the members in disposing of the
various matter that will come before
them. and that the session will be full OF
interest to the public as well as to the
lawmakers.

THE GOVERNORS INTENTION.

Ne are not in Governor AtkinSon b

what his plans for the future are nor ~
what direction his ambition points we

hose newspapers and partial frenoS
twho are trying to put him forward as a

doubtedly, the governor is a shleWd and
daring pontician and has some ueVo'eu
friends but there is nothing yet in the
outlook in this state that justitles the
conclusion that he has any chance OF
su ,ceeding Senator Gordon.
There will be many changes in the po-
litical kaleidoscope before the next iegls-
lature is chosen, and the unexpected
NAV happen, but just now it looks as if
one of the avowed candidates would be
General Gordon's successor, and that
Mr. Atkinson will seek re- election as gov
ernor. Precedent would help him to a

A Warning to HOke,
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
Secretary Hoke Smiths appointment
to speak at Arlington to-day has been
called off Word has been sent out from
Atlanta that his visit has been postpon-
ed for about four weeks.
The Herald stated some time ago that
if Mr.. Smith brought his "sOund mon
ey" campaign into the second congress
sonal district he would noble permitted
to flop his wings and go away unchal-
lenged-that he would either have to
enter in D joint debate with free sill
YER democrat or back down. And if Mr..
Smith had gone to Arlington to speak to-
day he would have been asked TO divide
time with Hon. J. W. Walters of 5his
city.
Mr.. Smith cannot coma into the sec
ond district to preach the doctrine of
gold monometallism unchallenged and
unanswered. And when he comes to
fill his postponed appointment at Ar
lington Mr.. Walters will be there to try
conclusions with him and champion the
cause of the people.

We regret to see the name of Hon. Fl.

pers in the second congressional district
in such an unseemly manner. He was
one of the ablest, truest and best repre-
sentatives which the second congress
sional district ever had in congress, and
is today, for ability aud integrity as
stateSman, second TO DO man in the
boundaries of Georgia. We honor him for
his past great services and respect him
for IS honesty and worth If, when he
was measured off into another district,
his nRntle could haye fallen on worthy
shr ullers in this, the democratic party
in the second would now be harmonious
and united.

the most elaborate affair of the kind

The Columbia, in fact, is the hand
soonest and most expensive car ever con-

years ago at Pullman, ILL.,, and it was
completed last Saturday.
The drawing and state rooms are fin
ished variously in Santiago and
white mahogany, vermillion wood, and
Caucasian walnut, with plush upholstery
and embroidered silk panels to match.
The columbia is heated by steam
and lighted with Pitsch gas lamps of the
finest modern pattern. The entire car is
fitted with water arrangements operated
by air pressure. The cost of this great

DO MEN GET ON THEIR KNEES z

The question, "Do men get on their
knees when they propose marriage?" is
now agitating some of our contempora-
res.
Did you ever know man to get on his
knees in proposing marriage? Can you
imagine a mana man, we mean-mak-
ING such an abject fool of himself?
If he is worthy of the gi1l, he brings as
much to the proposed union as SLEEPER
haps more Why, then, should he hu-.
initiate himself? His proposition cannot
be other than fiattering to her. 1t is
serious matter, and should be treated
seriously. She will respect dignity, re-
spect self-respect.
On the other hand, If a man is I'm
= worthy of the union he seeks, no amount
y of pleading and cringing can possibly
:, glorify him in the girls eyes. II cannot
kindle admiration for him, cannot bring
him up to her level.
Isn't it about time to eliminate from
~our books and from our conversation
this idea of the lover getting on his
Knees.
