A KANsAN SCHOLAR.
(From the New York Tribune

A Young Scholars Letters. T:Alng a
Memoir of Byron Caldwell Smith
Edited by D. o. Kellogg. Duodecimo
PIP. vii, $40. G. P. Putnam's Sons.
The tone assumed by the editor of
"a Young Scholars Letters is fairly
illustrated by two sentences. "Profes-
sOr Smith," he tells US, ''at once took
by willing consent a commanding posi-
ton in the scholastic and social com
mun1ty of Lawrence. It was the silent
rising of Sirius into the empyrean.''
Professor Smith-his full name was By
ron Caldwell Smiths the young schol-
first time, and Lawrence lies in Kan
sas. Beneath the intellectual ambi-
lions, ardOrs, devOtions, intemperances.
which his correspondence records, lies
one SteadfaSt mOtive-the anxiety to
escape from those very conditions of
mind which make such writing as is
quoted above possible. He had no pa
tience with what he considered prOVin-
cialism and lack of perspective. The
rural communities with which he was
best acquainted seemed to him intOleTa-
bly, SNUG in their intellectual and moral
standards. it was his passion to- rise
above those standards, to see life as the
best thinkers of the world saw it, to be
in the fullest sense of the term cOSmO-
pnlitan. 1t was a DISTINGUISHED ambi-
ton. He certainly never 2SpiFed to be
Sirius in the empyrean of Lawrence.
Local, national, even international
reputation was a matter of compare
L
cial appearance of breadth which is so
easily assumed by shallow natures of
most provincial sort was not at all what
he was after. He struck out for thor
OughneSS. With a kindly, though it
must be confessed, somewhat patrOniz-
ing tone, he chided his mother for the
undisciplined way in which she lent
herself to a SOphiStical juggling with
abstract ideas above her capacity. He
wished his emotions as well as his prin-
cipleS to be under the fine control of his
intellect For the sentimental vapOr-
ings and rhetorical verbiage with which
the local poets and pOetesses of his day
solaced their friends he had scant sym
pathy. In brief, he hated all forms of
intellectual pretence. He recognized
that culture comes only with hard work
and to the hardest kind of work he
gave himself.
Professor Smith might have attained
an expert skill in almost any branch of
science had he not confOunded wisdom
with omniscience. He could not so far
forget the dreamy ideals of his youth
as to forego the chase of the infinite
he pursued 1t with upturned face and
straining muscles. His foible was the
enunciatiOn of universal principles
quite as vague as those he resented
from the lips of others. If he ever en-
jOyed an object for its own immediate
sake, he made no mention of the fact in
these intimate letters to his parents In
the midst of his musings he could ad-

Miss Couzins Angry at an Attempt to
Drag Her Name Into the Fair
VIII Contest

st. Louis, May 31-Phoebe w. Couz-
ms is indignant over the connection of
her name with the Fair will case, and
as a result of a dispatch from San
Francisco stating that letters written
by the late senator James G. Fair to
Miss Couzins were in existence, she
sent the following telegram to Judge
Slack, before whom the case is being
tried:
mo person in your city possesses any
letters of mine in the Fair will case.
I repudiate the use of my name and
correspondence"
In an interview Miss COuzins says:
In further criticism of this unpar-
alleled impotence of lawyers who have
dared to drag in sO-called evidence Of
mine to sustain an alleged widows
claim upon the estate of Mr.. Fair, per-
nit me to say that I have had no cor
respondence in any way shape or man
ner with these lawyers. Nor have 1
offered any assistance In this case, nor
am I interested in the slightest degree
as to the outcome.

was in California I was wantOnly drag

FIRST ROUND FOR HAvEMEYER

[FrOm the New York Journal
Perhaps it is premature to say that
the senate of the United States, with
the help of the courts, is able to impris-
on a broker, but not the president OF a
trust. All we know as yet is that the
senate and the courts have been sue
cessful in imprisOning the broker and
that they have not yet succeeded in i'm
prisOning the trust president. In or
dering the jury to acquit Mr. Henry o.
HaVemeyer yesterday Justice Bradley
did not say in so many words that the
laws which governed common people
did not apply to the head of a cOmbi-
nation capitalized al $15, 600 600. In fact
he intimated rather distinctly that 1t
might be possible for a senate commit
tee to make an order which even Mr..
HaVemeyer would have to obey. Hence,
until the experiment has been fully
tried. we cannot say that the spectacle
of the head of the sugar trust in jail is
one that no mortal will ever be per-
mitted to contemplate.
Justice Bradley's ruling is based ON
the ground that the committee tried to
make Mr.. Havemeyer do something
that it had not told him in its order he
would have to do. 1t had called him as
a witness to testify to facts within his
own knowledge, and then it asked him
to- furnish data from his books. 1t is
not alleged that he suffered any sub
stantial injury by this irregularity, but
it furnished a technicality that made it
possible to hold that he had not con-
tumaciOusly refused to answer a ques-
ton which the committee had the I'M
doubted power to ask
Before we assume that there are three
kinds of law, one for the poor, the Sec
Ond for the well-tO-dO and the third for
the rich-the first being entitled to
plain cells, with bread and beans and
no extra privileges, the second to pri-
vate offices in Jail, with frogs legs,
champagne and the use of the tele-
phone, and the third to exemption from
all legal restraints-the senate ought to
test the value of Justice Bradley's hints
to the fullest extent. Let Mr.. Have
meyer be summoned to testify again,
let his subpoena specify exhaustively
the various things he is desired to do
referring especially to the books and
papers he is to bring and the Informal
ton he is to extract from them. Then
we shall see whether he Obeys that
summons or not, and if he disobeys it.
how he fares at the hands of the courts
1t is of the utmost Importance that
this experiment should be fully and
fairly tried, so that we may know ex-
actly how much power great wealth
gives its pOssessOrs to override the laws
We know that the United States senate
is somewhat bigger than Mr.. Chapman
now we want to see it squarely meas
ured against Mr.. Havemeyer.

BOOMING QUEENSLAND.

That Government Sends a Represen-
tative to Am After Colonists.
Denver, May 31.-John D. Russell, who
went from America to Australia 80 years
ago, has returned for the first time as
the official representative of Queensland.
He is visiting the United States in the
capacity of commercial agent for the
colony. He arrived in Denver last night
from the west.
I was sent over here by the govern
ment to investigate American methods OF
doing things, and if I see any machinery
which would be usefGl in my country, 1
am authorized to buy it. Another object
of my trip is to advertise the opportun>
tiles of Queensland, and wherever find
a man who has exceptional skill or abil-
ity in any particular line, providing he
has capital to go in business for himself
I shall tell him how much better he can
do in Queensland than it is possible for
him to do here, and try to induce him to
emigrate. 1t is all an experiment. but
expect to be of use to my country. We
have an immense colony, with almost
untouched resources, and a man can
make more money there in a month than
he can anywhere else in twelve months.
Our colony has an area of about $50 900
square miles, and a population of only
$50 600. Natives? Yes. a few, but they
are rapidly being dispersed, technlcal
term We use, which in plain English
means shooting the Burgers. We have
about $500 miles of seacoast and u or Il
fine sea ports. Although we have thou
sands of acres of as fine wheat land as
exists anywhere on the face of the earth,
we only grow enough to supply the home
demand for about two months of the
year. The trouble is we haven't any man
in the country smart enough to grow
wheat on a large scale.

works well with us. We have a minister
of railways, who appoints railway COM
missioner. Under the commissioner is a

chief engineer. and other heads of de-
partments Understand that everybody
in Queensland is after a government bill
let because it pays a big salary and there
is nothing to do, with plenty of clerks to
help you do it. AS the offices are coveted,
a man has TO take almighty good care
to do nothing wrong, for there are
hundred ready to blow on him. We also
have a civil service system that works.
In regard to the management of the rail-
roads, that is all right, too. For instance
if you start a sawmill and want sid
ing put in, you go to the railway COM
missioner and he makes you deposit 100
pounds then puts in the siding. When
you shall have paid in freight charges
100 pounds, the money deposited is re-
funded. In other respects the system
works we'll. Our equipment is up to
date and our roads are built well that
it costs less than per cent for mainten-
ance.
THE principal industries of Queens
land are sheep and cattle raising and
mining We have every kind of mineral
you can name, and some you couldn't
name-gold, silver tin, iron, manganese
whole mountains of manganese, but the
trouble is it is too far from the seacoast
to be marketable at present. Then we
have large sugar Industries. There are
great many SuSdICdtlG ploIlcilAO4lSs aiAN
some manufacturing. Although Queens
land has a greater per capita debt than
any other of the Australian colonies, her
bonds bring from Is to 25 per cent higher
prices on the London market because it
is well-known that if We went into suffi-
solvency our assets would sell for suffi-
cient to pay rs shillings in the pound,
while I doubt if the other colonies could
pay Is shillings in the pound. The rea-
son is that we have so much public land
and then the government owns all the
railroads, about 1000 miles and 1900 miles
in process of construction; telegraphs
and postal systems. The government
builds all the roads, and there is a gov
eminent endowment for the cities to help
pay for the paving. This endowment is
paid from the consolidated revenues, de-
rived from the receipts from railways,
telegraph and postal service, and from
the customs"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES HUMOR
Chauncey Depew Tells the Reason of
it as the Statesman Told it to Him.

New York. May 31.-Chauncey De-
pew, in an interview in the Mail and
Express today says that the Il million
dollar vote cast by him at Albany on
the New York Centrals refunding
scheme is the largest ever cast by any
individual at any stockholders meet
ing.
In the course of the long interview, he
quoted the following from the late Pres
ident Garfield. who, he said, once re-
marked to him:

public life, a great perception and en-
joyment of the humorous side Of life
and a faculty for story telling. I rec
ognized early in my career that these
qualities were antagonistic to- success
with the American people. I set to
work deliberately to kill the faculty of
approaching wit and humOr. 1 have

emotional temper combined will often
lead to sentimentality and fine writing.
IN spite or the best intentions Professor
Smith was both sentimental and rhe-
EOrlca1. For this reason, if for no other,
one must disagree with his editors en-
thusiastic statement that eff the art of
Ietter-Writing is a lost one, it surely re-
vived with Byron's Smiths pen" Nor
was he as thorough as he strove to be.
There are some Misunderstanding devices
known only to the parvenus of culture.
Among them is the setting up of sim
pie but somewhat arbitrary tests for
the gauging of good taste. Professor
Smith, with all his earnestness. could
not drop these tests. You may deter
mine" he writes to his mother, "wheth-
er or not you have taste for pure art,
which IS simply purified nature, by as
unaIIoyed delight in several of the stor-
les of Morris's Earthly Paradise ="
Thus he could interrupt his own hard
work to be the exponent of culture
made easy"
No little suggestion is thrown upon
Professor Smiths nature by his own
characterization of America. Il shall
be laughed at" he says, for saying
that the Americans do not move, but it
IS the truth. To move is to gain new
ideas, to grow from one form of thought
to another, but in America every vital
idea was brought over in the Mayf1ow-
er, and what we witness is an enormous
acceleratiOn of their motion. 1t is quite
possible to predict the future of such a
thing and you will have the America of
1900" The tendencies which Professor
Smith saw in others were never altered
they were but accelerated in himself
Travel was to him a mere change from
one province to another; religious eman-
cipatons, the exchange of one set of
shibbOleths for another. Though he
thought that he stood outside of Chris
tlanity and could view it with measure
bic impartiality, the German students
with whom he disputed could not dis
unguish his ''puritanism'' from that of
his cOuntrymen. Though he very wise
ly stigmatized Mrs. Margaret L. Bail
ey's verses as "a shallow reproduction
of the flmIil1e coating of poesy which
Var11shes American Sunday school life
his own verses were sufficiently like
those of Mrs Hemans and Mrs. SigOur-
ney to deserve a definition little less
severe. He was extremely sensible in
discOuraSing men of little ability from
substituting for their own honest ignor-
ance the training in INSTRUMENTATION
which come from an education cheaply
got. But his own education, much as
it cost him, never led him to true Gull
ture, and showed no promise that it
would have done so had it been extend
ed indefinitely.

Because the Water Company Refuses

The Topeka Water company has re-
fused to furnish water to sprinkle the

year the water was furnished free, but
the company has discovered that it is
not compelled by the contract to fur

This beautiful little park is situated

company provides that parks shall be

his heavy gold bowed spectacles he

the scene of his great Oratorica1 tri-
umphs, and, from force of habit, he
glanced upward at the galleries. Then,
through the same force of habit he
wandered over to the Republican side.
