Fatalities in the Lives
Of Kansas Senators


Two notable Kansans, writes c. NJ. Harger
In the Chicago Times Herald sank beiow
the horizon with the election OF Col. Will
lam A. Harris as the successor OF Peffer
in the Senate OF the United States. The
returns show Ingalls, and Peffer among the
missing.
Mr., ingalls, is now sixtythree years old,
and it will be six years before lie can be
expected to come prominently before the
State for his old place-if he ever does.
There is another election OF Senator in four
years but he has been quotedas saying that
he would never seek an election to that
"fated succession as lie terms the line
OF Senators from Kansas which comes down
from Jim Lane. Its history is certainly
remarkable and in strong contrast to the
line in which Mr.. Ingalls, was so prominent
for eighteen years.

The absence of Warner Miller from Wash
ington during the recent discussion OF the
Nicaraeuan Canal bill has been notice
able, the more so because of tife new
aggrardize OF Platt Miller seems
now to have retired TO the darkest ob.
scurity. 1t is doubtful if Warner Miller
ever did the Nicaraguan Canal proposi-
ton any good whatever lie was an ex-
senator, it is true, and undoubtedly it
was thought that he could finance the
business in London 10y reason OF this past
prominence of his, and also on account of
his imposing presence. His salary was
probably large, a good deal larger than
another salary that he once upon time
used to draw for being the president OF
sopie new insurance scheme or other. The
pay for this was something like S125 a
month, and Miller took il in as eagerly as
if it had been ten times as much This is
the nan who, with the assistance of
Whtelaw Reid and John f. Milholland,
has put up the anti-Morton aud Me
Kinley fight, SO called, OF New York
politics, which has been simply an anti-Piatt
fight pure and simple. Miller was never
diplomatic, and il is said by many that eight
or ten dipl onlatic per sons are often
needed to put through bill of the i'm
portance of this Nicaraguan proposition
or course the transient transcontincntaI
railroads were against it.

was opened at the Columbia offices by rep

The envelopes were opened in the order in
which they were received. and the awards
made in accordance with the answers
The conundrum, as submitted by Joseph
Arthur, the author of the play, was: who
was the greatest ch erry picker in the
world?' and his own answer accompanying
1t was; George Washington; for he cut
the whole tree down"
After reading over every answer and
carefully comparing each one with Mr..
Arthur's answer, the gentlemen awarded

SOME SIDE REMARKS

1t is curious to observe how certain Sen
ators and Representatives expect that they
will be able 80 put through their public
building bills. They go much farther, and
make a great fuss, to. their constituents at
least, to show how near they have come TO
getting these public building apprDpria-
tons. OF course, no such thing is possible
IL the Speaker is againstit, and he happens
now, as formerly, to be against all such
things. This is not pleasant for the HEM
bers. but Mr. Reed thinks 1t his business,
and he persists Naturally nothing helps
mans district so much as to procure
government appropriation, and doubtless in
half the cases a. least, when any structures
are proposed they are badly needed, espe-
cially by the chief tenant OF all government
bildings, the Postoffice Department. But
that has nothing to do with the case. The
Speaker deems it good public policy, or
good political capital, to keep appropria-
tions down by just this many millions, and
consequently he is ineXorable. There is con-
siderable talk a gain about the formation of
a combine in the House TO down" the
Speaker. 1t is all talk.

There is hardly any friend close enough
to John Sherman to advise him to decline
the State portfolio, If thereis yet a chance
for him To do it honorahly. But good
many of his friends who are not quite close
enough nevertheless believe that he is max
ing the mistake of a long and somewhat
honorable public life in undertaking some
thing for which, for many reasons ,.he is
unsuitable, and a. which he is almost GER
tain to make a failure. And these friends
say this without intending in any way to
detract from his gifts or his fame. They
read with sarcastic smiles the accounts Of
Major McKinley's designs, and OF John
Sherman's also, in offering and in accept
ing the thing. They know perfectly well
that the object OF the proposition ha as been
simply TO open the door in Mr.. Hanna's
way To the Senate; and they say that a bad
matter is made still worse because one j,
b. Foraker may siam the door in Hanna's
face.

Mr.. Hanna administered knock out drops
TO II. Clay Evans Vice Presidential boom
at ST. Louis in the most deXterous fashion,
and it was understood at the time, and
there was little doubt that Mr.. Evans him
self understood at the time and has always
understood since, that a Cabinet office would
be the least important thing with which Mr..
Hanna would reward him. But it would
appear that this man also must push his
claims at Canton, and must doit by sending
up strong delegations. There are those who
are prepared to wager that Evans gets
nothing more than an Assistant Secretary
ship or something equally as good Heis a
clever business man of fChattanooga. He was
a good. hard working member Of Congress
and good fellow, but hardly of the Cabi-
net size, when there are SO many thousands
of others who will be better able to con-
vince Mr.. Hanna that they are of Cabinet
size.

1t is believed by many local politicians
of position that Mr.. Chaplin Brown is one
OF the Most formidable candidates for any
thing that he wants in Washington, and
the reason for this is said to be that one
or more OF the local newspapers are in
tending TO support him warmly for any
thing that he wants Whether this means
that certain newspaper proprietors intend
to exert themselves pers Unally in Mr..
Browns behalf, or whether the support
5 to be purely professional, through the
columns of the papers themselves, is a
problem. Il is supposed that Mr.. Brown
has the inside track as indicated and for
the reason given. Only time can deter
mine whether this is SO or not.

The Point of View

This world is as we make l.,
| often hear them say,
If we are sad and fearful,
The world willseem that way.
And if we seek the dark side,
Where everything goes wrong,
And see molehills as mountains,
Our lives will seem too long.
But if we seek life's sunshine,
Sweet joys to others give,
And gaily climb LIES mountains,
Like we were glad to live,
To overcome disaster,
And sunshine round us shower,
To make our dear friends happy
Then JOY will be our dover.
The world is but mirror,
Rejecting each ones mind,
If we look at it Grossly.
To us twill not look kind.
But if we smile upon it,
1t will be joyous, too.
No matter how we see it,
Twill give us our own view.
