Plan Of Temperance workers.

TOPEKA Kas.), March 30. The
Kansas State Temperance Union
has decided upon a plan of poll
teal action for the coming cam
paign. 1t proposes to secure a
written pledge from 10000 voters
that they will not vote for any
candidate who is not openly
pledged to the enforcement of the
prohibitory law. The idea is that
10000 voters pledged to this con-
dition will constitute the balance
of power in Kansas political
affairs, and can either secure their
demands or wreck aAy ticket
which refuses to take the required
pledge. The work of securing
signatures has commenced.

The Coptic Breaks Records.

The steamship Coptic has
broken all records in the Oriental
and Occidental line. She arrived
at San Francisco on March 20,
just thirteen days from Yokoha-
ma, and from Captain INN an
Sealby, r. N. R., her commander,
down the line of her jolly officers
to the seameD, there was great Joy
over the performance. Her run,
too, approached very closely to
the record of the Pacific Mali line
held by the China, and that made
it all the pleasanter. The vessel
had good weather all the way
across, and the voyage was gen
orally uneventful.

INEQUALITY or TAXATION.

EDITOR BULLETIN: The tax law
of this country states that for the
purpose of taxation, all property
shall be assessed at its full market
value. This rule is carried out as
regards the small property owners.
On the other hand, how is the law
executed in respect to the sugar
plantationsY For the sake of ex-
ample take, say, the Lihue Plan
tation. Its paid up capital is stat
ed to be 800, 900 and, according
to the stock ,nd share list publish
ed in the Hawaiian Commercial
journal, the market value of 500
stock in Lihue Plantation is 1885.
At this rate the 100000 stock
would fetch in the open market at
least S1,995,000. One per cent tax
on S1,995,000 comes to S19,950.
The amount, however, actually
paid by the plantation was only
S61SS.l4 or deficit of $13,761.86.
This is on one plantation alone.
What must the total shortage
amount to on all the plantations
The question is, what is the
Legislature going to do about itf
1t is drummed into our ears that
this government is established fol
the common good and not for the
benefit of any particular class OF
individual. Will the Legislature
have the courage and honesty tc
pass a law which shall compel the
planters to pay their fair share Of
the public burdens ?

Princess Maude's Wedding Day.

LONDON, July 9.-The wedding
Of Princess Maude Of Wales to
Prince Charles, of Denmark, has
finally been fixed for July %. The
queen will attend the ceremony,
and it has been practically decided
that the young couple will traverse
London while on their way to San
dringham, in order to enable the
masses to greet them. =
1t would take columns of space
to describe the charming costumes,
ETC., adapted to all occasions, which
have been prepared for the popu-
lar princess. The costumes are
chiefly tailor-made, and include q
bicycle costume OF fawn-colored
Venetian cloth, with q narrowish
skirt, having little pockets at the
hem to hold shot intended to keep
the dress in place. The princess OF
Wales, among other gifts, has pre-
sented her daughter with a superb
circular Russian cape Of purple
velvet, lined throughout with the
finest sable, and having a deep
sable collar.

KNIGHTS OF KHORASSAN.
A Temple to be Organized in San
Antonio.

A Temple to be Organized in San
Antonio.
Its object: Friendship, brotherly
love and good fellowship.
Its merit lies in carrying out it's OBJ
ject and purpose. ..
Its strength, in knowing they are
commendable and worthy of support.
The qualifications required of an APP
plicant are that he is a Knight of
Pythias in good standing, and so re-
mains.
The initiation is new and pleasing;
performed in a dramatic manner, a
beautiful ceremony, refined in thought
anu amusing in form; free from vul-
garity or degenerating practices; en-
pertaining and instructive.
AS an item of information for the
general public it might be stated that
the tie of friendship which united Da-
mon and Pythias is taken as a model
by the author, and every effort is
made to keep constantly in mind the
grandeur of a friendship which is
tried and true, and to exemplify such
teaching in the every day walks of
life.
This is a comparatively new order,
and bears the same relation to Pyth-
ianism as does the Mystic Shrine to
Masonry.
1t neither desires nor expects antag-
onism to or rivalry with any kindred
or similar organization, nor demeans
itself by any semblance to connection
with or trace of any obsolete "side"
orders or degrees.
There are at present some 100
Temples in the east, west, north and
south, and some sixty odd Knights of
Pythias have already signed the char
ter list for the Temple to be estab-
lished here. AS the number of char
ter members required has been put at
100 it is to be expected that in short
time the third Temple in this state
will be Instituted here. All Knights
of Pythias instructed should report to

An Opinion With a String.

An old character was sitting in
q Denver saloon one day when q
man came in and reported that q
notorious desperate had been
found dead and scslped on the
plains. Everybody except Tom
Burrows had something to say for
or against the deceased, and the
prevailing opinion was that he was
a bad lot. Finally old Tom was
asked to pay tribute of respect.
"Are you dead sure he is dead@'
said Tom. dead as a herring
been dead for hours, and / turned
his body over with my foot" was
the reply Of the man who brought
the news. "Well," said Tom, "il
that is so, want to say that he
was the dog-gondest robber and
cut-throat that ever came around
here, that's what he was; but II he
Amt dead, want every gentleman
here to understand that this opin.
ion don't go."-Denver Field and

He Wanted a Light.

When a confirmed cigarette fiend
wants to smoke, he is pretty GER
tain to do so, no matter what the
consequence. Recently a young
Augustan went on a fishing trip
and strayet off several miles from
his party. Finally an uncontrolla-
BILE desire to smoke come over him.
He had cigarettes, but no match.
He fretted and fumed for some
time, and a bright idea came to
him. He. crushed up his handker-
chief, placed the muzzle of a re-
volver tight in its folds and fred.
The handkerchief was, Of course,
ignited, and in few moments he
was contentedly putting away at a
clgarette.-Augusta (Ga.) Herald.
