ZANZIBAR ABoLIsHEs SLAVERY.
Government to Compensate slave
Owners-Arahs VIII Not Resist

ZANZIBAR. April s-The sultan OF
Zanzibar has issued a decree aoolishlng
slavery. II provides that existing rights
over concubines shall remain as before I'M
less her freedom is claimed by a concu-
bine on account OF cruelty, but In general
terms the concubines VIII be regarded as
wives. The government VIII pay com
pensation Cor all slaves legally held. II
ZANZIBAR Is unable 10 meet the full ex-
pense. II is believed that the imperial gov
eminent will assist.
The sultan explained the decree TO lead
ing Arabs before issuing IL. on the theory
that the compensation and harem clauses
would reconcile them to the measure. No
resistance is expected, as the Arabs have
been completely cowed by the recent bonn
bardment. II is feared. however, that the
revenues will suffer.

to $4oo each, and the harness and gold chain
from $50 to $780,"
After presenting such exhibition OF poodle
plutocracy, luxury and adornment, another pic
ture is presented of our much-vaunted civillza-
ton, found after climbing four flights of stairs
at No. 90 Essex street, where Mrs. Solomon
Goodman and her four children are starving.
The following interview occurred
"Where is your husband?"
"He is looking for work. He's tailor, and
he hasn't had work for five weeks"
"Do any of your children work?"
"No; they are too young. They go to school,
but just now they're staying at home because
they have no shoes to wear"
"What do you need most just now?' asked
man sprang up eagerly.
"Food" she exclaimed. 'Can you help us?
Can you do something for us! have never
begged in nv life--I swear l have not-I swear
to God, but we have no food in the house My
husband went QUIT makes him crazy to sit
here day after day and see us so hungry! Oh,
can't you give us something? beg-I beg
Ibeg-beg!'
Chow much do you need for iood?"
eff you will only give us ten cents-hve
cents--I can buy some milk for the baby. Look
at him! He's sick! He'll die!"
With cry of pain she threw herself upon
an infant that lay in its crib, and almost snoth-
cred it with csresses.
Socialism would, if it could, and it will if it
succeeds, whatever becomes of the poodles,
make life more desirable for the starving poor.
There will be shoes for the children and milk
for the babies, and our civilization will have
many of its internal features eliminatec.-The

ingalls, Pleads Necessity.

ArcHIsoN, KAs., March I3.-Ex-Senator
John J. ingalls, left at noon dav for the pu-
silistic convention at Carson. Concerning the
chatting of the press at his present avocaton,
he said
"I suppose if had gone into the hospital
for political ncurables after my defeat, and
hung around Washington, haunting the White
House and the departments, importunine friends
for Endorsements and begging for some place at
home or abroad, where could have been sup
ported from the public treasury, my course
would have been consid cred as dgnihed and in
strict accordance with usage and precedent.
Like everybody else in these hard times, nave
suffered heavy losses in shrinkage OF values and
diminished income and am compelled to earn
nv living by daily toll. l am grateful for the
opportunity of getting by bread by reputable
employment, upon the lyceum platform and IN
journalism, which affords reasonable compensa-
ton, with no sacrifice of personal independence.
Employment in the public service is open to
me, but l prefer freedom, even when accom-
panied by the fatigue of long journeys and the
hardships and privations of travel, to the bond
age and servitude of any position that does not
come directly from the people. Benjamin Har-
rison writes for the Ladies' Home Journal, and
can conceive of no improperly of my writing
for the New York Journal, or any other peri
odical, upon any subject of human interest that
does not require the sale of my opinions or the
sacrifice of my individual Judgment The ad-
ministration of President Mckinley will have
my active and cordial support, and when the
next occasion comes I shall omit no effort to Sc
cure Republican ascendancy in Kansas and the
redemption of the state from lmbeclle misrule
and degradation.

Heaven for Dogs and He'll for Babies.

The millennium for dogs and civilizations
inferno for babies are in full blast in New York.
The swell population of the city are decorating
their French poodles in style of Oriental
splendor. "rhis dog" says the New York
Journal, "has set the fashion for New York's
swell pups i'll the way of ID carat gold brace
lets, ablaze with jewels and spangles, with
which to adorn its high-born legs, and with a
collar and shoulder harness to correspond.
''The bracelets may be made in any style to
meet the fancy of the dog owner. The most
conservative of those shown are of rolled plate
made in the fashion of thin rows of small gold
links, studded with chip diamonds. Other
stones may be used if preferred, and sometimes
uniquely -sarved spangles are added
"Most often there will be but one bracelet
worn, and that is always on the left leg. Two
are quite proper, however, and sometimes as
many as three of the gold bands, all of entirely
different designs.
"The cost of these small trappings must, of
course, vary according to size and number of
jewels used. The painest of gold collars made
with jewel settings cost not less than 500,
while the jewelled ones quickly mount up to
5000 and $500. The bracelets cost from 81 so

THE NEARER THE GRAVE
THE MEANER HE GETS.
John Sherman SOlilOQuizeS.

"To have shirt or not-that's the question:
'Tis whether it is better than the man
Who digs and delves to earn his daily bread
Shal. keep the shirt that now does shield his
form,
Or be compelled to part with it, and thus
Insure my masters that the pound of flesh
That's written in the bond shall be in full
Delivered unto them. "Tis true they cry
Aloud against the just demand, and say
IT'S not in nature that man should give
His all to satisfy a claim that may,
Perhaps, divest him of his only hope,
Aud send him ShroudeSs to the POtter's field
For many years I've served my master WE'LL
And skilfully have iugged with the laws,
And brought the common herd to such pass
That now, no matter how they fret and fulne,
They cannot help themselves, and e'en must
Aud sweat anl live like dogs, that may see
The greater part of all they do create
Be sent away i'll ships to satisfy the greed
OF hylocks more inhumaii, many fold,
Than e'er The Bard of Avon VOTED of.
At times, feel my conscience pick Bit
But It's a momentary thing, and not
To be allowed to swerve me from my course.
IT'S Heavens will that those of keenest wit
Should have the best the earth affords; and SO,
The hulking horde should bend unto the task
And grunble not, but thank the powers that be
That we who rule do spare their wretched lives,
And give our kind permission unto them
To pay whatever tax we do impose.
My honored friend, good Vanderbilt, did say,
The people may be damned! and that they
will
If my good masters FER in London do
But nominate that thus the thing shall be-
My sense of honor is so great (if but
The welfare of the money kings at stake)
That not only would be sure to take
The last poor shirt the working man might
have,
But l would strip the very hide from off his
back,
And make me leather bags in which to send
Away the tribute that we've sworn to give
Unto our erstwhie enemies, but now
Our interested friends" " New Road Denver.

For Texas and Oklahoma.

Governor Leedy has named the committee
which is to represent the Kansas legisla-
ture in the conference with similar delegations
from Texas and Oklahoma. 1t will consist of
Sanators Campbell and King, and Representa-
tiyes Hackney, Brown of Pratt, and johnson
of Nemaha.
The committee will go to Texas and consult
with the Texas and Oklahoma representatives
relative to the most feasible plan of obtaining
cheaper grain rates to the gulf. The feasibility
Of north and south railroad, as suggested by
Fred Close, will at least be considered.

GRANNY'S FLOWERS.

When was a little girl SO many years ago,
I wearied of the common flowers my granny
dear loved so,
And wished had hot-house rose that droop-
ed its dainty head
But every time wished aloud, my dear old
granny said:
"You'd best now mind the hollyhocks
And love the marigold,
For summer shower will spoil rhe flower
That's for a sixpense Sold"
When was grown woman tall, this very day
and year,
I looked upon the common flowers as in the
past, | fear,
Until hot-house plant bought fell shattered
to the ground,
Ard through my sobs know heard my gran
my's dear voice sound:
"You'd best now mind the hollyhocks
And love the marigold
For summer shower will spoil the flower
That's for a sixpense sold."
