as men achieve unequally, so long will

conditions exist. All men are born
free and equal and have an equal right
TO life. liberty, and the pursuit of hap

limited only by ability and effort.
While these conditions are undisturbed
the responsibility rests with the indi-
vidual. and his condition is Just as he

FOoD FOR REFLECTION.

In the event Of war victory is said 10
perch upon the banners Of the power
with the longest purse. The late loan
subscription proved an eye-Opener TO
Europe. if indeed not to the people of
The United States themselves. Not
only did those sealed bids enclose the
evidence of the nations strength and
reveal the measure of her sinews of
war. but afforded a glimpse of illimit-
able possibilities. In the event of war
this country is sufficient unto itself.
Every necessary expenditure of every
character would be made to its own
people, whether for munitions, sup
plies or pay. And there is another as
surfing phase Of this subject just
brought to light in an official way.
The secretary of war sent TO congress
last Tuesday an abstract Of the present
military resources of the country,
which shows a well organized and
fully equipped force Of 12S,S19 national
guards. which could be modified on
the shortest notice. Back of this force
and Of the regular standing army is
an unorganized force Of able bodied
men, valuable for military duty, accord
ing to that report, aggregating 10,149,-
59S. Three or four states contain over
a half million men each. This con-
stitutes additional food for reflection.
They are figures not only for America
but for her enemies. The Canadians
and Spaniards would do well TO study
them. The same might be said Of any
others who have thoughts Of a posi-
bility Of trying conclusions with the
Queen of continents, the
sole arbiter of the destinies of the
Pan-American powers.

might not be stained. Being educat-
ed and intelligent and of good social
standing. with extraordinary care they
set about their hellish work in a way
that would render discovery and iden-
tification next TO impossible. But it
was all of no avail. Even her head
less body told the story Of her wrongs,
and the shoes of the dead retraced by
their tracks their steps to her distant
home. 1t remains true in this case as
in the Durrant case and in that of Pro
fessor Webster, and as it ought 10 in
every such outrage. As of White,
slain in his bed by an unseen assassin,
who imagined his secret ever safe,
said Daniel Webster: ''Ah, gentlemen
of the Jury. that was a dreadful mis-
take. Such a secret can be safe no
where. The whole creation of God
has no nook or corner where the guilty
can bestow it and say it is safe" And
the noble Dane had said the same be-
fore him:
For murder though it have no tongue, Will
speak
With most miraculous organ.

BIG IS BRITAIN.

Britain was well named Great. for
great is Britain. A creepiness went up
and down the spineS of American read
erS yesterday morning, up and down
the spines Of all the world, as they
read Secretary Chamberlain's epistle
TO Paul of the TranSvaal. A few years
ago Chamberlain was the Jerry Simp-
son of the British Isles. But what
ever he may have been then as a blatn-
er skite agitator or now as an aspirant
still, as secretary of her highness' col
onieS, but yesterday squatted down on
the whole world. But Il few days
since your Uncle Jonathan was dane
ing lingo over the Transvaal, and the
war kaiser of Germany was shooting
off his mouth at q fearful rate about
the UitlanderS and their leader, but
now steps in Joe Chamberlain and in
forms Dom Kruger, formerly of Ger
mantown, Pennsylvania, L. S. =, and
president Of the Dutch republic, that
the Transvaal has an independence in
ternally but that all the peoples and in
terests Of South Africa are subject to
the control of Great Britain. That
ends it. Yankee Doodle, nor der Wacht
on der Rhine, are in it, except for the
purposes of a limited song and dance.
Her majesty's secretary kindly sug
gestS that Mr.. Kruger would do well
to visit her highness at her home, in
Windsor castle, but so far as the hero.
Doc jameson, is concerned, or the wei
fare of the Hon. Pirate Cecil Rhodes
is involved, that England will take care
of those matters IN short Joe Cham
berlain suggests, and the world will
acquiesce. And 50 will it be in the ven
ezuela affair, which will be settled di-
rectly between England and that South
American republic, without the inter
ference or the Intervention OF the
United States, and Growers commits
sion will be left holding the bag, while
the rest of the world laughs. AS Joe
Chamberlain summons President kru
ger to the bar Of the English ministry,
so he Will tell Cleveland in the end to
set down and cease bothering his lord
ship, Mr.. Salisbury, premier Of her
majesty's empire. Great is Britain.

given the two classes. a1d the unequal
burdens they have to bar. Ihe nat
ural conditions have been disturbed by
legislation, and the changed order of
things operate against hose whose bur
dens are the sorest. Here constitu-
tional treatment is required, and the
elimination Of unjust laws demanded.
A law that affords opportunities
which can be taken advantage OF by
syndlcates or corporations, is unjust
law, and its repeal or amendment, is
necessary in order that the evil may
be removed There is work here for
the legislator, and all theory. all spec
ulation and all statecraft ends in fail
ure.. when this fact is disregarded
Justice and common sense in this par
ticular would remove an evil which
wisdom in other directions would fail

HIS LooUAC1oUs RICHNESS.

The lOquaciOuS Bayard has been in
dulging in speech making again to an
audience of BritOns. His effort at the
MetrOpole had the seeming of "a de-
Scending lift, you know, not that he
loved the land of his nativity less but
that he worshipped the royal bull the
more. Evidently the gentleman from
Delaware confidently counts on anoth-
er year of court furbelows. AS for
the censure of American congress that
but adds feather TO his headgear and
sets him a notch higher in the esdma-
uion of the people whose interests he is
serving on round American salary.
As for anything else, he is not suf
ficiently sensitive to the proprietieS and
political amenities to tender hiSresigna
ton. No vote of want of confidence
can ever disturb a Bayard, who son,
father and grandfather have continu-
ously and generously fed at the public
crib for three generations. But there
is way to bring him home and that is
by sending Grover home. The Re
publican party will do that. Next No
vember there will occur a vote Of cen
sure which cannot be disregarded. and
about March >, 1897, Mr.. Bayard will
be found packing his grip. His resig
nation will be ready and be about the
first one to be accepted. Mr.. Bayard
can then come home, and from the hill

the first ray that marked commencing
time, said ray fell upon the early man
covered with long, shaggy, tangled
halr. Vain creature that he was and
remains TO the present day. he covered
himself with ornamental leaves from
the trees, and the hair in the course
OF several million years dropped out,
and is today so little in the constitution
that once lost ii cannot be restored.
Up to the present time man has been
steadily losing his hair. The balder
man Is the more civilized he is sup
posed 10 be. The minute a tribe or a
nation approaches civilization ii be-
gins to get rid of its surplus hair.
In yesterday mornings Eagle was a
dispatch telling of the latest order of
the Corean king-all queues must come
off. The minister of education has re
signed in disgust and retired Men
are stationed at the city gates and
snap off the hair of the country people
country there IS open rebellion.
In other words the Coreans are be
coming civilized. An explanation Of
this as well as of the cOrrelevant po-
sitiOns of civilization and barbering
may be found in the first use of razorS
and in the first authenticated shave.
The first shave came about in this
way. The Macedonians were an an
cient people. constructed after the fash
ion Of ProhibitionistS. They would
put up their crops and then sail out
and poke a long nose around for
trouble. They usually found il and
were swatted about as much as they
were swatted. One day the Mace
domains had nothing to do. so they con
cluded to take week off and whale
the enamel off the teeth of their neigh
bors, the Spartans. These same Spar
tans We're just then dominated by a
slick galoOt named Alexander. and he
heard of the frisky MacedOnians and
prepared for them. The lOng-bearded
and hairy MacedOnians marched up 10
the Spartans and camped for the night
and the long bearded and hairy Spar
tans marched up 10 the MacedOnians
and camped for the night. And there
they rested. But while the Macedon-
ians slept soundly Alexander was at
work and strange cries and oathS came
from the camp Of the Spartans.
The next day the two forces met.
Alexander had ordered a man to go out
among his troops with rip-saw and a
bucket Of salye and had cut off every
whisker in the army. And when the
two forces met the MacedOnianS
couldn't get a hand hold and the Spar
tans grabbed the boards of the Mace
domains and jerked the ear-wax out Of
them. The Spartans won the battle.
Thus We can trace the march of the
barber and civilization. The Corean
king is becoming civilized and getting
rid of hand-holdS.

Il political barnacle. He filed the bill

He was the only man of that character
nominated. All the rest of the ticket
had been before former state conven-
tons as candidates. Cole was elected
and we are proud of him. He turned
out to be just what he was represented.
capable and clean. He has attended
strictly to the duties of the office for
which he was chosen. BY common
consent he has not only made the best
state auditor Kansas ever had, but is
the one particular star of MoTrillS ad-
miuiStra5ion. He. more than any other
man elected on the ticket, made good
to the people the promise of a business
administration. He has administered
the affairs Of his office just as the law
defines without fear or fayoritiSm. saw
ing his salary many times over 10 the
people of the state. He is 10 be a
candidate for denomination. 1t should
