Bad breath is one of the symptoms
Of constipation. Some of the other
symptoms are sour stomach, loss OF

OF COURSE IT'S FOOLISH.

The application of the spoils system
to the police force which under the
last Republican governor made it al
most worthless and under the present
Populist governor makes it no better,
is noticed by papers in other parts of
the United States. A party that has
been so much in favor of doing things
right" as the Populists have claimed
for themselves ought to see now what
an unfortunate blunder they have
made in the Topeka police force, even
without reading what the outside press
says of it. The New York Post says:
THE reductio ad abSurdum of the
spoils system is seen in an occurrence
at the capital of Kansas last week.
Topeka, like other cities in Kansas, is
controlled as to it's police administra-
ton by a board of police commission
ers who are appointed by the governor.
The system was instituted years ago
as q means of securing the enforcement
of the prohibitory law in places where
local sentiment did not sustain it, but
it long since failed of it's purpose. Now
the commissions in the various cities
are treated purely as a part of the
spoils at the disposal of each new gov
ernor. The Populists having carried
the state last fall, the Republican po-
lice commissioners of course must go, "
and the new Populist officials naturally
apply the same rule to their subordin-
ates The old patrolmen of Topeka
have consequently been discharged all

WHY NOT REDUCE COAL RATES

The Abilene Reflector says: The Pop
legislators are fretting and Tuning
about Pullman car rates, about rates
on hogs, wheat and corn to Sandusky
and ShebOygan. Why don't they
tackle the coal question? That comes
nearer home than anything else. If a
man thinks he is so eternal fine that he
must ride on a Pullman, let him pay
81 for a berth, and if the porter works
him besides that is his own lookout.
But coal is different. Every Kansas
family must buy coal. Up at Leaven-
worth it sells for $3.50 or less a ton
here at Abilene it costs $3.50 for a dirty
cheap grade and Sc for a good soft
coal, with the pretty figure of SIPS for
anthracite. Down in Pennsylvania
the anthracite sells for $2-the rest is
freight, and Kansas must pay it or
freeze. 1t is the hardest tax on nine
tenths of the families of the state this
coal tax. If the Pop Solons would spend
less time figuring on how TO get more
of their relatives into Office and how
to gerrymander the state into sure Pop
ulistic districts and would occasionally
tackle a reform that comes close to the
peoples pocl1etbooks. they might come
home with a little honor.

TIE NEW cR1PPLE CREEK
LFrom Harper's Weekly. I

lFrOm Harper'S Weekly
The most popular train from Denver
to Cripple Creek these days is the
Eleven come Seven" which leaves
Denver an hour before midnight and
arrives at the foot of Bennett avenue,
in the metropolis of the gold fields. at
about sunrise. There is something
about the name of the train, borrowed
as it is from the phraseology of the
game of craps that smacks of
chance; and its peculiarly appropriate
title has as much to do with its pop
ularity as has the convenience of being
able to go to sleep in the state capital
and to wake up in camp.
The visitor, after arriving at the foot
of Benentt avenue, the principal bust
ness thoroughfare of the town, just as
the sun is coming up over Globe hill,
is apt to remark first upon the tenn
perature, which he finds surprisingly
genial, as compared even with Denver,
and the almost invariable absence of
snow, which, when one considers the
altitude, $500 feet, may be regarded as
somewhat phenomenal. But it is to
be doubted if these circumstances oc-
casion him as much surprise as when,
a few minutes later, having been
whirled away from the handsome stone
station in the bus, he finds himself in
the spacious lobby of q hotel that in
architecture would do credit to any of
the larger cities of the effete east. The
stranger is accordingly not surprised

Quently causes a still further shatter-
ing of the tourists preconceived no
lions.
The fact that gambling places are
running wide open during the day as
we'll as the night, and on Sunday as
on any other day of the week. is about
the only reminder, from the Bennett
avenue standpoint, that there is a min
ing camp at the towns doors; unless II
loungers on the street corners and in
the barrooms be overheard, in which
event the visitors ears are smitten
with a iargon in which ''lodes'' and
sstopes" and drifts" and "cross-cuts,
and ''whims" and "phonolite" and
.sporphyry'' are a few of the more in
telligibie utterances, mingled with
names of mines and mining stocks that
are frequently of weird significance
But there is another side to Cripple
Creek than that presented by Bennett

sisted of one street has long ago de-
parted. and, as may be seen by pan

AMERICAN HOTELS.
TFrom the Scribner for Februar

TFrom the Scribner for February.1
American hotels are SO taken up with
the desire to dazzle US that they some
times makes US uncomfortable. 1t is
very fine and impressive to have ones
card handled by two men and big boy
and then a little boy when calling upon
friends at a great hotel, but it is fati-
guing, nevertheless. to wait 80 minutes
and then have. the little boy come down
and tell you they are not at home
Though most of US cannot abide some
system, such as being charged extra for
A mericans, who are sufficiently unpat-
riotic say that our big glittering no.
tells are not quite up to the standard of
the best ones on the other side in the
small details of making one peacefully
and restfully happy. The inn-keeper's
instinct for knowing exactly what is
wanted without being told is more high
ly developed over there. They have
bee n at it for so many more generations.
The SWEETEST hotels in England and
on the continent are considerably more
economical and a great deal less lavish
But they put on Jugs of another sort
and some people think that they are a
more enjoyable sort. For instance, at
two or three hotels that set up as the
finest in the West End in London, one
does not have a bird s-eye maple up
right piano in one corner of a 15x12
room and an impressionist' corn field
on a gilded easel in the opposite one,
but his newspaper is warmed before II
is handed to him in the morning and he
finds his evening clothes pressed and
laid out for him when he returns to his
room in the afternoon.

PROSPEROUS HAWAII.
IFrom the Boston JournaI.l

FROM the Boston JOurIldlI
American rule seems to be proving
an unqualified blessing for Hawaii.
The Hawaiian Gazette declares that
the last year has been financially the
most prosperous In the history of the
islands" A new sugar company has
been organized with a patd-up capital
of 81 800 900. Public buildings, bust
ness blocks and dwellings to the value
of $3.50, 900 have been erected, and the
real estate values have been largely
enhanced. The custom house returns
show that Hawaiian exports, which for
the year ending September 80, 1895,
were about 81, 800 coo, increased for the
corresponding period in 1896 to $14, $780,
900, or very nearly doubled. Four
fifths of those exports have come to the
United States.
1t looks as If these Inid-Pacific Yam
KEGS were abundantly able to take care
of themselves, annexation or no an
nexation. If congress decides to hoist
the stars and stripes over Hawaii it
will not be because its American rulers
need their flags protective folds, but
out of sheer admiration for their pluck,

EDDIE FOY AND HIS BABY.
Named the Youngster After Bryan
and After Rrvan's Home.

Chicago. Feb: fiddle Foy' is a friend
of Hon. VIM ]. Bryan and a believer in
the ex-presidential candidates doctrine.
On December g. 1896, while Foys off the
Earth" company was playing in Lincoln,
Neb., baby boy was born to Mrs. Foy
in Chicago. The news came quickly to
Papa Eddie and, if by Inspiration, he
called up over the telephone Mr.. Bryan,
who was then at his home preparing his
book.
The happy father appraised the distin-
guished Nebraskan of the advent of the
little stranger and told Mr.. Bryan the
boy should be named Bryan Lincoln Foy;
the first in honor of the free silver apos-
tie, the second because it would be a ~
minder of where the father was when the
first born made his advent in the world.
and the third because it belonged to him.
Mr.. Bryan replied that he considered it
a great compliment. and esteemed most
highly the thoughtfulness of Mr. Foy.
Then Eddie turned to a friend who was
standing near the phone and said: Il
guess the kid was born with a stiletto in
one hand and a shillelah in the other"
The reason for this application is that
Bryan Lincoln'S mother is an Italian, her
maiden name being Madeline Morando,
she having been premiere danseuse with
Henderson for seven years Foy is an
IriShman and is proud of the fact.

LAST WEEKS NEW PLAY.

One of the new American plays per
formed for the first time on Monday
night was Or Claudius." made out Of
Marion Crawford's novel by Mr.. Craw-
ford and Harry Saint Maur. Presuma-
bly,, the writing has been done by the
author of the story, and the dramatic
construction by Mr.. Saint Maur, who is
an actor and playwright of experience.
The work as arranged for the stage, be-
gins with what is styled a prelude"
and progresses through four acts, the
localities of which are Baden, Heidel-
berg, Newport and New York. Thirteen
characters are introduced The inter-
esting trial of this piece was made at
the Fifth Avenue theater, and the Hol-
land brothers are at the head of the
cast. Joseph Holland undertakes to re-
alize to eye and ear the Heidelberg re-
cluse and sociologist, while E. M. Hol-
land represents the sharp New York
broker, w. ]. Lemoyne, the idle man of
culture and memory, Leo Dietrichstein,
the Russian nobleman and army officer,
Eleanor Moretti, the widow of the Amer
lean minister at St. Petersburg, and AL
bert Grau, the English aristocrat with
property in America. The play did not
receive much praise at the hands of the
critics, but scored decidedly with the
large and faShiOQa BILE audience present.
