Reeds Do-Nothing policy,

Speaker Reed is likely to find. himself
with lot of wild horses upon his hands
before a great while, and all of them in
kicking humor. A good deal of the dis
satisfaction with regard to the Speakers
way of bossing things, which manifested
itself during the last congress, Is begin
ming to crop out again. Some of the
republicans, indeed, are suspected of an
inclination to assist Jerry Simpson, or the
democrats, to bring the speaker to terms.
Many of the republicans, especially some
of the new members, are anxious to get
to work. They want to make speeches
upon the burning questions of the day.
As the House is dragging along now, time
is merely being wasted. The members
who are hoping for good positions on the
committees are on the tenter hooks. They
do not know what is going to happen
but fear all sorts of combinations in
which they will not cut much of figure.
Some others of the members assert that
the period of idleness through which the
House is passing should be devoted to
educating the members on the financial
the bankruptcy and other questions But
nothing in that line can be done without
| committees. And these the speaker de-
clines to appoint. The reason, as is very
well known, is that the President does not
desire any general legislation. beyond the
| tariff bill, to be passed at this time.
| So far, by holding a tight rein. the
speaker has managed to drive along
| smoothly But there are signs of coming
obstreperousness which may result in up
setting the Big Man from Names apple
cart.

Fundamental Principles,

The dispatches announce that there has
been a general removal of the faculty of
the Kansas State Agricultural College.
from the president down, by the populist
board of regents. Prof Fairchild. the re-
moved president of the institution, is an
old and well-known educator. who has
been connected with the school for a third
Of a lifetime. He is recognized as a
leader in his profession, and a man of
erudition, and with views generally ac-
cepted elsewhere. But the brilliant board
of regents discharged him and his helpers
because they were not in harmony with
the fundamental principles of the admin
istration."
1t is to be inferred that in Kansas edu-
cation is not to be based upon the funda-
mental principles of scientific truth, but
the fundamental principles of the polit-
zeal party in power. Thus. when Prof.
Fairchild insisted upon maintaining that
the sum of two added to two made four,
instead Of five, the populists began to
doubt him, and when he declined to accede
to the proposition that one commodity
which sold in the open markets for fifty
cents was just as valuable as another COM
modify which sold in the open markets for
100 cents, they were convinced that he was
a hereto, unfit to train the young Kansas
mind in the way it should go, if it was to
remain Kansas mind. The Kansas pop
ulists have got it into their heads that
twice two makes FIVE, and that the ratios
of Is to l and 30 to l are of precisely the
same value: and they are not going to
have any spectaeled old pedagogue teach
ing otherwise in their state, at least as
long as they boss the Offices.
When one comes to think about it what
do the fundamental principles af mathe-
mates, or physics or chemistry, amount
to as compared with those of the populist
party? Isn't it perfectly clear. from the
populist point of view, that the best
thought of the world always ran in
wrong channels until the populists took
the field to set it right? Did not pop
ulst in the Illinois legislature introduce a.
bill to alter the ratio of the diameter to
the circumference of the circle? Scientific
people hold that the circumference of a
circle is BIAS times it's diameter. But the
populist declared that S.2 was the proper
figure. and sought to have his declara-
ton enacted into law The Kansas board
Of regents are operating along similar
lines, though they are trying to enforce
their fundamental principles in a diff
ferent manner. If persons like Prof Fair
child continue to teach what the populists
consider heresies, it will in time embar-
rass the populist party in its desire to
hold office; hence the populist board of
regents of the Kansas State Agricultural
College were justified by political expedi-
ency in firing the professor and all of his
help.

stories of Bishonr.

A privately printed volume about the
famous Athenaeum Club, in London, just
issued, has some good stories about bish-
ops. many of whom are members of it,
says the New York Tribune Perhaps the
best is that of the clerical dignitary who
being anxious to consult one of the faith
ers on a theological point, asked a servant
of the club IF Justin Martyr was in the
library" 81 don't think he's a member
my lord was the answer, but I'll go
and ask the porter" The curious be-
havoir of a bishop is thus described by an
eye witness: "As stood talking outside
the Athenaeum the other day, l saw a
bishop-a humble suffragan-drive up in a
hanson and bid the (unpaid) cabman wait
while he went into the club. A minute or
two later out came a real bishop, who
guilelessly got into the waiting hanson,
and, being mistaken by the cabman for
his original fare. was straightway driven
off. Then issued the suffragan, whose in
quiries for his cab led TO his being in
formed by a second cabman that it had
been taken by another gent in leggins.'
Piqued at this ribald allusion to the epis-
copal garb, the suffragan turned on his
heel. But as he replaced his purse in his
pocket, 1 marked the frown pass into
smile of satisfaction when he realized how
the wind was tempered to the shorn
lamb"

StiII the Air shin.


The sea serpent has not had the audac-
ity to put in an appearance this season.
He knows it would be of no use. The air
ship has got the call. Not only the rugged
west, but the whole Of America, and even
Paris, is interested in the aerial mystery
From the Golden Gate TO Wilmington, N
c., the people are turning glasses sky
ward in a search for the solution of the
puzzle, and the Paris Figaro is printing
articles about it. A goodly proportion of
the population of the continent seem to be
in danger of acquiring the air ship
neck unless something conclusive is pres
emily discovered.
Any number of reputable people" have
seen the thing; they are ready to qualify
to the fact. Others. equally reputable,
have heard voices coming down from
the mysterious object overhead. One
quick-witted gentleman succeeded in max
ing a photograph of the air ship, which
he exhibits with some pride, and with the
observation that the picture was positive
ly not taken in a gallery. Still another
witness-there are veritable clouds of wit
nesses-asserts that he found the place
where the air ship alghted for repairs
He is positive. because he saw the
tracks," and of course there is not any
thing upon earth which makes tracks like
those of an air ship This is one of the
most convincing statements that has yet
been vouchsafed the anxious public. But
still it can hardly be accepted as con-
elusive.
There are conflicting reports with re-
gard TO the shape of the wonderful vessel.
But the shape is not the real point Of in
terest The public is ready to accept any
shape of air ship just now. The only re-
quirement is that it shall fly low enough
to take an Edison or Tesla on board
for brief time. 1t is a very good thing
to have the word of reputable citizens"
of Chicago and Omaha as to the exist
ence of the ship. But it would be a heap
better to have Edison's description of it,
One of the striking characteristics of
the reputed air ship is its wonderful agil-
ity. One night recently it was reported
from no less than fifteen different towns
and cities in Wisconsin. Michigan, India
ma and Illinois, and only a short time
previously some persons near Wilmington.

ment. He kept a sharp eye on us and
tried to train us in the way we should go.
And when we were rather short for ra-
tons some of the boys brought in a fine
young porker. Now, boys, that's wrong,
said he. 1T is simply stealing. You ought
not to do it,.

Upon the conclusion of the sitting of the
Paris tribunal and the rendering of its
verdict, the people OF this country INDUCED
the hope that they would not hear of seals
again for many years, The whole subject
had become tiresome; libraries had been
written about it. and the public had been
terribly bored with lectures upon seal hab-
its and arguments upon sealing rights. 1t
really seemed that the subject had been
exhausted, and that nothing more could
be said about seals.
But it was not So The President has
appointed a brand new seal commission, to
make examinations, visit localities and
write reports The commissioners are ex-
Secretary of State Foster and ex-Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin. They are to look
into the question of whether British and
Canadian sealers have lived up TO the
terms of the Paris award, and report to
the President The Canadian sealers COM
plain that the police craft of the United
States in Berng sea have been entirely
too oficious, and have subjected their
sealing vessels to search when there was
no cause or excuse for il. There are other
details of the cause of the friction which
has arisen between the United States and
Great Britain with regard to the seals,
such as shooting seals with guns. But
none of them seems to offer insurmounta-
bic obstacles to a speedy settlement The
high-priced experts which the President
has appointed will probably have an easy
job-a sinecure. embracing a pleasant
If this seal question continues to bob up
at intervals and cause unp!easantness, it
will not be great while before the people
OF the United States will begin to inquire
what benefit the seals are to them, any
how And they may also want to know
how Alaska has been or is likely to be of
value to Uncle Sam. If Alaska were to be
cut adrift, the great majority of Ameri-
cans would never miss it, IL may be doubt
ed that it win ever become populous or
prosperous. No person living to-day will
see it admitted 10 statehood.
What do we get out of the seals? Lots
of controversies, some diplomatic and Of
holding opportunities. and possibly
little glory as the friends of an almost ex-
tinct species of animals. But not much
else. The government receives a small
rental for the sealing privilege, it is true.
But the rental costs about all it comes to-
If not more. 1t is necessary to keep a fleet
of ships in the seal waters during the sea-
son, and to pay the expenses of various
commissions and junketing trips. And
occasionally it is necessary to pay awards
levied by the commissions But the aver
age taxpayer never comes in for any ben
efits The monopoly which controls the
seal catch gets whatever profits may ac-
crue The politicians enjoy the plums in
the way of commissionerships which come
along, and the people are supposed to hold
themselves in readiness to go TO war at
any time to back up the holdings of the
American commissioners in behalf of the
seal monopoly.
