AMUSEMEN
BRICE ON CLEVELAND.
He Thinks the President Has Made
Dent in the Sands of Time.

Senator Brice, when asked the other day
by Gath what he thought Of the period Of
Grover Cleveland and his personal influ-
ence, said:
Il have not hesitated many times to diff
fer with Mr.. Cleyeland's plans. He has
included me in his denunciation OF the tariff
compromises. 1 do not think that his
knowledge has always been equal to his
greatness as q man. I think he is a very
strong man. with much more consistency
than is generally believed, and with
sincere desire to serve his country ] have
been guest at his house. He likes TO he
comfortable himself, and therefore he can
make other people comfortable. One rea-
son why he has been misunderstood is his
resentment at politicians who do not tell
him all the facts. He hates to be deceived.
That is why he has often appeared TO be on
the point OF doing something or appointing
some man, and suddenly changing his mind
at the last moment, which maddens his
infornants, who forget, perhaps, that they
concealed something from him.
Cleveland. therefore, has from defensive
reasons rather built wall around himself.
During the end of his term this standing
aloof has become almost a habit, and yet
think he meant to be good party man.
However, new alignment exists in parties.
Those who want to follow demagOgues
must flock to themselves. l rather think
that Cleveland's terms and character win
have left as great an impression on the
United States as ever was made by anyman.
Grant and all other predecessors Of Cleve-
land have merely melted into the fabric
of the times

''True to Life Mr.. Mckee Rankin's new
play, produced so successfully in New York
city, will be the attraction at the Grand
Opera House the week of February 1.
In the play Mr.. Rankin will appear hims self
as an ex-convict, and Miss Nance O'Neil,
the clever young actress, who seemed to
capture the whole OF New York, will as
sumo her original part, and is likely to
surprise her audience, as she did while in
New York by her rendition of her role.
The play is by Mr.. Rankin himself,
written in his best vein, and is pronounced
the best piece of property he has ever
owned; even the old "Danites'' is said to
be what is term ed black member com
pared to it, for it is an up-to-date play,
dealing gwith em otionsand responsive echoes
of the heart, which bring tears to the eyes
of its listeners, and touches that sympa-
thetic chord of human kindness which COM
pels one TO believe that we are not all as
bad as we are painted. We are told that
there is SIS o sufficient comedy of bright
and sparkling nature to relieve the pathetic
PORTION OF the play.

The other line of Senators which began
with the dra wing ofthe long termin 1S61 by
Pomeroy has been filled by but three men,
Pomeruy was reelected in S67 and served
until the end of his second term, although
an investigation was in progress at the time
he went out concerninghis right to the place
Mr. Ingalls, was his successor and he served
eighteen years, being defeated in 1891 by
the Farmers Alliance andits apostle, Peffer.
His defeat was overwhelming, notwith-
standing his radical speech in the Senate
lust before the election OF Senator, which
has been used as campaign document by
the Populists in every campaign since.
His first victory was accompanied by one
of the most dramatic incidents in the his
tori of the State. Pomeroy had fifty votes
out of the 127 in the legislature when the
body adjourned at the end of the first days
voting The next morning before the vote
was taken Alexander York arose and stated
that Pomeruy had the preceding night Of
fered him $4,000 for his vote. He had
been paid So, 900 that night and $4,000
in the morning: 81 900 was to be paid
when the vote was cast. He walked to the
clerks desk andsIaid down two packages
of bills containing $1,000, which was, he
said, to be used as a fund to prosecute
Senator Pomeroy. When, after the ex-
element had subsided, the vote was taken,
PonIeroy did not get a supporter. In
gals was elected, getting 115 votes. The
81. 900 was afterward turned over to POM
crows attorney, after deducting about
50 600 for court fees in prosecution
which was begun, but finally dismissed.

Another SeeleY Victim

Too much Seeley investigation, writes
New York correspondent has driven Will
lam Mcintosh insane and he is now in an
asylum. He has a very handsome daugh-
ter, Hazel, who, until a short time ago,
earned 81 a week in a store. She can
dance and sing, and recently accepted the
offer of q theatrical agent to give ex
hibitions at private dinners Then she put
considerably more than 81 a week in
the bank. Since the Seeley sensation the
father has been acting strangely. He read
every word of the stuff that was published
in the papers here, then hunted around in
quiring about the details that did not APP
pear iii print. Yesterday he tore up lot
of $40 bills his pretty daughter earned.
Then he began raving of her promising to
appear in living picture POSES at dinner
this week. The mother took her daugh-
ter's part, and had him committed to an
asylum.

Edmund G. Ross was appointed by the
governor to fill the term, and he went to
Washington, where he was afterward to
become so conspicuous, almost unknown to
the politicians Of the day. The following
year l. oss was reelected and Sery ed through
the impeachment proceedings against PTesi-
dent Johnson, in which it was his vote that
turned the scale in opposition 70 the con-
viction. In 1871 Ross was candidate for
reelection and there was no chance for
him. Pomeruy and Alexander Caldwell
were the leading candidates, and the latter
won after Il bitterfig Bot did Caldwell

seat than the papers of the State began TO
TEEN with strong articles setting forth that
he had been elected 10y bribery and fraud
In the United States Senate Senator Nor
ton, OF Indiana offered resolution saying
that Caldwell had not been elect ed legally.
The Committee on Elections added that
while he had done things that were not
legal, it is thought that he had been sinDed
gainst as well as SHINING. He is a

in the belief that Senatorial elections in
Kansas are carried by the use OF IN Oney,'
which would seem to indicate that Kansas

those days. Caldwell resigned March "a,
1873, and dropped out of sight, his name
tarnished and his character gone.

In 1873 Robert CroZier was appointed to
fill out the unex pircd term until the legiSla-
ture met, and he was turned down in the
following year by the legislature, which
chose ]. NJ Harvey. Harvey had only three
years of It, and in 1877 Preston b. Plumb
was elected. He was the most popular
Senator OF the line. He stood close to the
people. He was a fighter and hard
worker. The old farmers could always
depend ou Plumb. During the campaign
he went out on the stump and made the
orators. He swung that big right arm
Of his with telling effect, and took off his
coat il the day was warm. He was com
mon people, and never wearied in his
work for the State. Twice. when he was
at the end of his term, he was reelected by
an overwhelming majority, and was more
popular than ever. But Plumb-Sturdy,

W. Perkins was appointed as the next in
the succession but when the time came for
the election the fusion forces had the con-

CHuCAGO,s ELEVATED ROADS.

As soon as the elevated railway system
became a success in New York, Chicago
never rested until it had acquired the
same thing. 1t happened, however, that the
panies their rich traffic Were not present
in the Western metropolis; at any rate
they, did not operate.
The Chicago elevated roads are naturally
overcapitalized in city where trusts and
monopolies flourish and enjoy great popu-
lar favor, and where capitalized wind and
water are necessary V to municipal aid and
cooperation. Some of the financial en-
barrassnent OF the system might be at
tributed to this overlooking OF the capital
account, but that does not appear to be
the chief difficulty. 1t is that, whereas
congcsted population, the inhabitants OF
Chicago are scattered over a large and
indeterminate area The people who live
away from the streets traversed by the
elevated tracts usually prefer the surface
roads. Those who live in the suburbs 20

Kansas elected it's first Senators in the
winter OF SCI, few weeks after the State
was adnitted into the Union. II was one OF
tile rlrSu acts that marked the work of the
young State. James II. Lane nndS. c. POM
eroy were chosen, and Dire W lots TO see who
should have the short term and who the
long. Right then the ill fortune of the "fated
succession began, for Lane was the loser
in the chance. Lane had been one of the
foremost partisans of the Territorial days
OF the State, and he made fast friends and
strong enemies. He was opinionated, and
when he went to Washington be did not heal
over the opposition to him. The legislature
almost year before his term expired
elected the then governor, Thomas Carney,
to his seat. Carney did not accept, but
served notice to the State that he resigned
all claims to the office. Lane was elected,
but year later lie startled the State by
shooting himself through the head at Fort
Leavenworth, dying July l 1, 1866. 1t was
the cruel end OF a busy life, and his career
was one OF the most striking in the history
OF the building Of the West. He was fore
most in tile fight OF the 90 s over the question
of making Kansas free or slave, and his
voice was one Of the strongest in the cause
