H KANSAS CAR GIRL.

Because the Governor OF MfSSOuIl
refused to allow a beautiful cigar girl
to serve as a Maid Of Honor at a
flower festival, the people Of Kansas
invited her to Topeka and made her
the Queen of the Festival. Here is
the way the New York Sun describes
it:
But it was at Topeka that the meta
morpbosed cigarette girl received the
greatest ovation. Ex-President Ha1-
1ison visited Topeka several years
ago and a record breaking crowd
turned ont to see him. Bryan spoke
there last Fall and drew a Thong
that eClipsed even the Harrison
crowd. But it remained tor the Chill
1icothe cigarette girl to make of these
multitudes only insignificant, back
number assemblages. There were
bands enough to break any drought
but one in Kansas if they had all
played at once, and companies of all
descriptions had turned out to swell
the parade. Temporary stands had
been erected along the line of march,
and the people swarmed even to the
house tops. When the train did ar
rive and the bands struck up Hail
to the Chief,' not a toot could be
heard. The roar of cheers drowned
even the shrieking Of neighborhood
factory whistles, and when the Gov
ernor himself led Miss Whitney to a
carriage pandeInoniuru reigned. Her
progress became a triumphal process
sion. The police had to fight the
crowds to keep them from swarm1ng
after her carriage, and the streets were
almost blocked by enthusiasts in ad-
vance. Some of the banners display
ed such inscriptions as: "Snubbed
by Missouri-Honored by Kansas
I'VE Have Prosperity in Kansas, but
We Had to Work for it" "No ROYAL
Road to Honor-in Kansas" "Hon-
CSl loll bCdAS L ilood"lh
Kansas" The Rejected Stone in
Missouri is the Head of the Corner
in Kansas" 1T is Only Noble to be
Good-in Kansas True Hearts
Are More Than Coronets-in Kansas
"Sweet are the Uses of Adversity-
in Kansas" Miss Whitney Honors
Labor-Kansas Honors Her. Learn
to Labor and to Wait-for Kansas
For more than an hour the process
sion wound through miles of shout
ing people, and when headquarter'
were reached Miss Whitney was in
stalled as Queen of Labor. Instead
of being maid Of honor to the Queer
of the Kansas City carnival she hat
a %retinue of her own with attendant

A SENATOR ON THE SENATE.

Senator BILLY" Mason has been lee
turing on the senate He chose this
subject because Mr. Washington
Hesing. president of the Chicago Press
club. under whose auspices the lecture
was given, suggested it to him. He
said he left the choice of subject to
Mr.. Hesing, and he chose the one he
did because he was of opinion that the
senator could speak best on the sub
jects of which he knew least: at least
Mr.. Mason said that was the reason
the senate was chosen as the subject
The lecture was a compound of the
serious and comic, the comic being
more entertaining than the serious was
instructive. Speaking of the senators,
he said:
The senators personally are the most
easy and the most delightful men it has
been my privilege to know The men
with whom l am associated in the SEN
ate are very kind and considerate of the
wishes and feelings of each other. In
fact. it is doubtful if this is not car
ried too far at times for the advance
ment OF public business.
This leads me to speak of the rules of
the senate. Parliament means u par
ley. or talk. Why they call The body
a senate and not parleyment or talke-
ment l cannot understand There are
senators who can parley for days with
out any signs of advancing the business

WAS HANNIS TAYLOR INDIS-
GREET?

Mr.. Hannis Taylor, late minister to
the court of Madrid, is accused of
great indiscretion in having written
his North American Review article on
the Cuban question. 1t is said that he
was so recently related to the Spanish
government and our own man official
capacity that his remarks possess an
Importance which otherwise could not
possibly attach to them. This is true,
and no one would pretend for a single
instant that it was anything but Mr..
Taylor's superior means of knowing
the real sentiments of Spain that gives
his article its great interest and it may
be said, Importance.
1t is said that no European diplomat
list, similarly situated. would do as
Mr.. Taylor has done. This is probably
true It is further said that Mr..
Taylor may contend that when he re-
tired from the diplomatic service the
obligation of secrecy was removed and
he was free to speak and write as he
pleased concerning matters Which came
under his observation, but that this
contention is narrow and technical,
and wholly ignores the moral respon-
sibility which the appointee assumes
upon entering a confidential relation.
There is nothing in Mr.. Tavlor's
article that can be called a betrayal Of
confidence or a divulgence of diplo-
matte secrets. It cannot be success
fully contended that what he says, in
his New York Herald article, about
his meeting with Castelar,, brought
about through the instrumentality of
Senior Salvani, is a betrayal of any
secret, for Senior Salvani himself di-
vulged all that when he made criticism
of Mr.. Taylor's article. Had year or
so elapsed between the time of the
ex-minister's retirement from Madrid
as our diplomatic representative and
the publication of the article, it would
probably have drawn forth little or no
comment on the score of betraying
condolences or divulging secrets.
There certainly is a question as to
the propriety Of publishing the article
at the present time and it may cause
some embarrassment to General Wood
ford; it can hardly fail to make it more
difficult for him to get what may be
called the confidence and good will of
the Spanish government, though Mr..
Taylor makes it perfectly plain that
Canovas treated him with nothing but
insincerity. It is probable that Mr.,
Taylor's diplomatic career is run in
any event, for we do not pretend to
have any corps of trained diplomatists
as other governments do, but if we did
this article could hardly fail to impair
Mr. Taylor's usefulness were he a
member of it; it would have a tendency
to make him persona non grata at all
courts. Judged by European stand
ards of diplomatic etiquette, the late
minister to Madrid has been guilty of
gaucherie, but those standards do
not govern in the United States.

PARENTS INTEREST IN THE
SCHOOLS.

The number of enrolled pupils in
Salt Lake City is about 1900, and
about 1900 are constantly in attend
tendance shows what deep interest
the parents of this city have in school
matters.
Is there a parent in the city who is
not proud of the work his child is do
ing in school? Is there a parent in
the city who would consent to have his
child's educational opportunities cur
tailed in the least? The greatest in
terest that parents have in this world
is the moral and intellectual welfare
of their children, and where do they
expect their intellectual welfare to be
looked after if not in the schools ?
Everyone knows that in the great race
of life all viii not come out alike, that
the many viii be left far, far behind
and that only the very few will get
the great prizes, but in that race each
parent is anxious that his child shall
have an equal chance at the start SO
far as educational equipment goes,
And this equipment the public schools
give them Would the parents of this
city have their children any less well
equipped than they are now? They
certainly would not.
Excellent as is the public school
system and justly proud of it as the
people are, it would be incomplete
without its High school, as incomplete
as it would be without its eighth
grade. II is true that all those who
graduate from the public schools will
not enter the high school, but there
isn't one who graduates from the
graded schools who should not have
the privilege of attending the High
school if he so desires; and the High
school must be there for those who do
desire to attend it, There is scarcely
family in the city that has children
attending the graded schools but has
one child that is ambitious to go to
the High school, and that the family is
not DESTROYS shall go.
Do the parents of the 1900 school
children in Salt Lake City want the
standard of efficiency in the schools
lowered or the High school abolished
They do not, but if they would have
that standard maintained in the com
mon schools and the High school con-
tinued, they must see to it that they
elect as members of the board of edu
cation none but those who are posi-
lively and aggressively in favor o.
making and maintaining our schools
the equal of any in the land, and The
! Sl1nerinr. of any e rnssihle

THE LONELY EEART.

They tell me I am happy;
And l try to think it true;
They say | have no cause to weep,
My sorrows are so few
That in the wilderness we tread
Mine is a favored lot
My pretty griefs all fantasies,
Would | but heed them not.
1t may be so; the cup of life
Has many a bitter draught,
Whicn those who drink with silent lips
Have smiled on as they quaffed.
1t may be so; l cannot tell
WHAT others have TO bear;
Yet sorry should [ be to give
Another heart my share.
They bid me to the festive board;
| go. a smiling guest;
Their laughter and their revelry
Are torture to my breastl
They call for music; and there comes
Some old familiar strain;
L dash away the starting tear
And turn and smile again.
But oh. my heart is wandering
Back to my fathers home;
Back to my sisters at their play,
The meadows in their bloom,
The blackbird on the scented thorn,
The murmurtng of the stream,
The sounds upon the evening breeze,
Like voices in a dream;
The watchful eyes that never more
Shall gaze upon my brow
The smiles-o4l. stop that melody
cannot bear it now!
And heed not when the stranger signs,
Nor mark the tears that start
There can be no companionshiD
For loneliness of heart,

tors that ever were heard Were mon
keys. They talked for ages, and whether
it was that they just wished to express
their sentiments, or felt that hey had
something great to say, [ don't know.
1t has been said that the monkey irni-
tates the man. But they had q parlia-
ment or a senate long before man ever
dreamed of such a thing, so 1 fear it
is man and not the monkey. that is the
inaitator. Under the senate rules ap-
Dlause is not allowed. 1t took me
long time to find out why. If you al
lowed that you might allow everything.
The sound of approval is quite natural,
but the sound of disapproval is very
different. 1t is deemed wise, therefore,
to prohibit any signs of either approval
or disapproval.
The world likes to know how its great
men achieve their success, and every
detail of the story it seizes with avidity.
Mr.. Mason told how he first was seized
with an ambition to become a senator
Of the United States, one of the most
potent, grave, and reverend seignoirs.'
He was a congressman. a member of
the house. One day he was in the SEN
ate chamber when a motion was made
to go into executive session. AS a mem
Der of the house he assumed that he
was privileged to remain, but he soon
discovered the error of his way, fer he
was invited to leave, and left. From
that day his sole ambition was to be
come a senator; and ct last that alnbi-
ton was gratified. And then the day
OF days came, the day when the senate
of the United States of which he, Will
ia19 z h 10
went into executive session. In Il sense
it was the supreme moment of his life.
Let him tell of his experience at that
moment:
At last, after all my trials AMI tli:, L
latio2S, the hour came. The senator
from New York moved that we - nto
executive session. l heard tire magic
word, and my heart beat faster at the
prospect. 1 saw the galleries cleared.
l saw members of congress shown out
side as l was. L wanted to 90 through
! that green baize door and shake my
fist at it, and then come in, but [ was
afraid some of the ceremonies Of that
solemn moment would escape me [
| FASTENED to my seat. adjusted my .1at
collar, Strengthened my hair, and tried
! to look like United States senator IN
executive session. The bells rang, and
| the DOOI niue DOgS IuSllSu Jul VI oul
presence. Then the bells ceased. the
doors closed, and we were alone. The
senator who moved the resolution to go
! into executive session coolly took 4
cigar out of his pocket, lit it in the
usual way, and calmly assured his eel
leagues that it was the last one he had
ION the square" Then he moved that
Smith be confirmed in his $500 post
office Then the president said: 1T is
so ordered if there is no objection" In
one moment my dream of the eX acutiVe
session was broken. and / was eft With
a taste in my mouth as unsatisfactory
as that left by poor lemonade.

Yesterday there began at Long Island
City, New York, the trial of man and
woman accused of a most atrocious
murder. a few weeks ago there ended
in Chicago the trial of a man accused
of an atrocious murder, that of his
wife He is to be retired in a little
while These two cases are mentioned
as examples, for all over the country
there are murders and trials for
murders all the time. What is the
cause? 1t is a trite explanation to
say that the laws are not enforced
but that does not explain. The ques-
ton that every lover of his country
must ask himself is whether we are
not really lawless people, holding the
most sacred of all things-human life
cheap. In no other civilized country
are there so many murders and
homicides as II our own. Why is it?
There is something wrong somewhere,
and ct times one is tempted to ask
whether it is not because the American
people are ceasing to be Christian,
God fearing people. Anyone can ask
why there is such lawlessness in the
United States, but who can answer it :?

that in Salt Lake the non-partisan candi-
