AN OLD FRIEND.

Ap article published in another
column calls attention to tie semi
centennial celebration to be held in
New Bedford. Few of the present
generation recall or know how in
innate were the relations between
the Hawaiian Islands and the New
England port during the twenties,
thirties, iorties, fifties and even the
early sixties. Many Of our promin-
ent families trace their lineage from
the sturdy sailors who set forth from
New Bedford harbor. The shrewd
Yankee shippers made this their
headquarters for the whaling fish
cry.
The first whale ship, the Mary"
Captain Joseph Allen, came here in
1920, BY the year 1925 as many
as one hundred whale ships visited
the islands during the year and

RIGHTS OF THE PUBLIC.

The objection of Minister Shima-
mura to the publication of the cor
respondence between this govern
ment aud his own, pending an an
swer to the letter OF June 28th, is
by no means in accord with his own
actions.s At the outset of the con-
troversy the japanese Minister was
very free in his statements to the
extent of almost outlining the pol
icy of his government. But this is
really not the main point to be con-
sidered in the objection. He is re-
ported as saying that the publication
of the correspondence at this time
would, he fears, interfere with the
amicable settlement of the affair.
This is point which one cannot
quite see. Why should it interfere
with the amicable settlement of the
affair? 1t is an affair that the pub
lie is directly interested in. The
influx of large numbers of Japanese
was viewed with alarm by every
store-keeper and business man and
mechanic throughout the islands.
1t was not case of race prejudice,
1t was a case of self-preservation.
The Government acted, as it should
do, for the people it represents, and
those people, whose vital interests
are at stake, have right to know
every step in the negotiations which
followed that action. The conten-
ton of the Star and the influential
party it represents is, that not only
should the correspondence have
been given out now, but that it
should have been laid before the
public step by step. Hole and cor
ner diplomacy is not what suits free
anglo Saxon institutions. Secre-
tary Sherman did not wait for the
ripening of the negotiations between
japan and the United States before
publishing the text of the Japanese
protest and his own very able reply
thereto. 1t is a necessity for a re-
publican government to keep in full
touch with its party, and with the
whole people, and the only way
it can do this is through the public
press. For those who conduct the
affairs of a nation it is a fortunate
privilege that they can communicate
through the press with all who
either support them or who disagree
from them. The press has taken
the place of the frequent public
meeting.
No communication of cores
pondence between the two Govern
ments can prevent amicable settle
ment of any affair, for the negoti-
ations are carried on not for the in
terest of the little knot of men who
happen to hold Office, but for the
benefit of the people itself, and the
people must be kept informed as
matter goes on.
While fully approaching Minis
ter Cooper's courtesy and also his
statement to the representatives of
the press yesterday of the Cabinets
reason for reticence upon this point
up to the present, the Star holds
firmly to the position that it is the
right of the public to know the
steps by which a vitality important
matter is being conducted and it
holds that Mr.. Shimamura is utter
ly at fault when he strives to prevent
such knowledge being given. The
immense d ference between liberty
and license which the West under
stands SO well is not appreciated
upon Asiatic soil or by Asiatic
minds

The Way TO t a man,1 h'S art
July 20, 1897.

The WAY To s a mans heart art
stomach. Happiness of home
begins, if it does not end, in
order and occupation. In a
home where nothing is to
hand and nothing is done on
time there is a perpetual
sense Of dislocation and dis
comfort which ruins all
thought of happiness. Bad
housekeeping is a worse Of
Tense than is generally con-
sidered. The kitchen, as well
as the parlor, is woman's de-
partment, and with the labor
saving appliances now in
use there can exist no reason
why the kitchen should not be
as clean and orderly as the
parlor.
We are exhibiting a number
Of up-to-date utensils in the
way Of wooden chopping
bowls and knives for mincing;
potato Washers both in wire
and wood; paste boards and
pins; butter moulds; egg beat
ers, and in fact everything a
well equipped kitchen should
possess.
The prices are well within
the reach of every house
holder, and the time and labor
saved and satisfaction obtained
from their use well repay the
trifing expenditure.

To Begin SUNDAY.

Rome, March ia dispatch from
Canea announces that the blockade Of
the Island of Crete by the fleets of the
powers will begin Sunday morning
and that notification to this effect
will be addressed to the government
at Athens and Constantinople. 1t is
further stated that the powers will
also communicate the steps taken to
the governments of the neutral states.
The limits of the blockade will be
between longitude 1924 and &c. 30 east
and latitude 25.4S and 34.25 north.
The blockade will be general against
dock vessels, but other ships will be
allowed to land goods provided they
are not destined for the Greek troops
or for the interior of the island. Fl.
nally the admirals have caused a re-
quest TO be addressed to Greece to
recall her war ships from Cretan
waters. If she does not comply force
will be used on Sunday morning to
compel them TO withdraw.

Ed hOWe'S Cynicisms.

Some people rest so much that it
tires them.
When women tell women not to 10
to any trouble in preparing a meal for
them, they never mean it.
At this time of year the little jam
and preserves left in the cellar is be-
ing saved for the minister.
Some people can't find the things
they put away so carefully. We al.
ways find them, but can't recall why
we saved them.
Every time a boy in his talk men
tions one of his boy friends, his mother
tells him that she doesn't want to
hearO him going with that boy again.
When man is single he only needs
d few collars and cuffs, a suit CT
clothes occasionally, and cigars, but
after he gets married, he finds out
what the big stores are for.
The girls who are saving up a Paris
exposition fund will spend it on we'd
ding clothes, if man happens along
in the meantime. A girl always makes
the mental prOviso that marriage
will change all her plans.
When a man becomes old, and his
eyes fail him to that extent that he
can no longer see the grease spots on
his clothes. they also become invisible
to the members of his household. No
one brushes an old mans clothes, or
takes pride in his personal appearance.
1t is diSagreeable to grow old, no mat.

you are a man.

NV Policy.

My Policy.
To be successful in any enterprise
that any one may engage 10, a
thorough knowledge Of all the details
is necessary to attain success.
My occupation from the time |
landed in Sumner county 10 the
present has been politics and political
engineering. Political preferment
has been the ruling passion Of my life.
The fact is | am natural born Office
seeker. The methods | have used,
and shall continue to employ, are here
given for the benefit of any who may
not have had the same experience as
the writer, and wish to follow this
most fascinating and uncertain Of all
avocations.
The leading feature Of my policy in
all places, under all circumstances, at
all times, to all men and women, Is
dispensing Of taffy. No opportunity
is ever allowed to pass unimproved-
even dumb brutes are not exempt.
For Instance, one day when a little
absent minded, gave my dog what
proved to be an overdose. | actually
talked to that dog so much, telling
him how fast he could run, what a
good dog he was, etc., until that dog
staggered off out Of hearing of my
voice, and acted as though he had
taken an emeLic. It's wonderful isn't
it what little, well applied tatfg will
accomplish, and the many ways in
which it can be given? The number of
people who like it more or less, is to
me at least a matter of great salts
faction. And at times like the
wheat market, the supply is greater
than the demand. The fact is | am
always loaded and overloaded, in 50
much, that unless the opportunity
occurs often to unload, my eyes fairly
bulge out with superabundance Of
chief stock in trade. Some people
like tatfy better than others. Some
have a greater capacity for aSsimlla-
ton, while there are some that an
overdose affects like it did my dog.
There are very few of this class, not
many now and then one. | have
found it just as easy to give an
audience my prescription, as an indivi'
dual, only in little different style.
With a Sumner county audience
before me something like the fol-
following mOduS operandi, is emplOyed
"The people of Sumner county are the
most hOspitable, and intelligent OF
any people it has ever been my
fortune to meet; the women and babies
are the handsomest, and your land
the fairest, the most productive thai
the sun shines on; your climate,
Italian in character, the most health
ful;yo soil so rich and fertile, that
under the touch Of the husbandman
with favorable climatic conditions
responds in the production Of all thu
necessities of man. and so on, almost
ad infnitum. It's amusing ant
highly gratifying to me that so many
people are like young birds tina
always open their mouths and swallow
whatever is given them.

thing over 10 1900. He says he knew
"old Bill Mckinley" in the late war
and only knew him to be what the old
vets called ''pap's boy" that he
never saw a battle, let alone partici-
pating in one; never fired a gun and
was always comfortably Quartered at
the cities, He don't have very MANY
admirers among the old boys who
knew him personally, as my brother
knew him. Now he says those who
did support Mckinley in his own
state have begun to repent in sack
cloth and ashes, for he says, and says
truthfu.ly, "that thousands of homes
in the great state of Ohio tMcKinley's
own state) are being sold for taxes on
the court house steps"
Oh, glorious prosperity! how it lifts
this load off the shoulders of those
who fought to preserve our once
happy homes by simply paying the
taxes and carrying all risks them
selves! Yes, we are tenants here
in Ohio and they have commenced to
ask higher rents. What will be the
results God only knows. Streets
swarming with men, good, honest,
rd-fsted young men, looking for
work in the great state of Ohio"
My brother wanted to get my advice
on returning 10 Kansas and | told
him if he could live by close economy
to stay there as we were stuck by the
gold standard here as we'll as there in
Ohio. He further said that "Bill
Mckinley was only president iu
name" He says that "the So eaking
old John Sherman, also of his own
acquaintance, will act as president
and will look out for the millionaires
of ''hOld Hingland." 1t makes nv
heart ache to to think that proud old
Ohio, where my parents slumber
has turned deaf ear to Gods door
and turned on them two as contempt
IDLE low down scOundrels as Mckinley
and Sherman.
But as he says, they can't cheat
him out of much enjoyment not many
years and consoles himself by saving,
my name will soon be called among
those who are listening for the last
roll call. His name is Joseph T,
Mercer, mine, f. P. MERCER.

A Strange Woman Tramp.

A woman who gave the name of
Mrs. W. j. Carson awakened the curl
oSity Of Atchison people last week
and left that place for Topeka last
Saturday.
She is woman tramp. Following
is the story told by the Atchison
Champion about the woman:
1.-THE woman tramp spoken Of sew
eral days ago, is now said TO be the
wife OF wealthy banker in Elmira,
NY, by the name of Rashbdck. For
several years she has been laboring
under the hallucinatiOn that she must
do Gods will by travelling and earning
her own living. She has several
times been restrained from doing so,
but to no purpose, for as soon as she
regains her freedom she leaves home
and becomes a wanderer. She often
writes to her husband for means and
never without obtaining it. She
rarely ever stays in a place longer
than thirty days at a time. If the
reporters information is correct her
rightful name is Mrs. Mary E. Rash
back, but she assumes a new name
for every town she visits. She has
been stopping since she arrived in
AtChiSOn at the residence of George
Gushing 10 West Atchison. Her con-
duct has been quite mysterious and
her stories and theories vague and in.
corhent."
There was a scene when the woman
left Atchison for Topeka which is
described by the Same paper as fol.
lows:
"There was a war of words at the
union station last night between
women. A woman has been stopping
in town on the benevolence o. an
Atchison woman and wanted to get to
Topeka and said she would rattle a
crumb cloth and sold tickets for the
rattle, but at the hour named neither
woman or cloth appeared but she
started for Topeka and the woman
with whom she boarded for nothing
overhauled her at the station and
there was windy war, but the tramp
woman, who called herself Mrs. W. ].
Carson, went on to Topeka all the
same"
The eccentric Mrs. Carson has not
yet been heard Of in Topeka.

ncNall Won't Give In.

Webb McNall, superintendent Of
insurance, says he is confident that
he will be indicated by the United
States court in the contempt proceed
ingS, as the supreme court has already
decided that his jurisdiction is final.
He said today:
while | do not believe that
have been guilty Of contempt and be-
leve that the court will so hold,
will be on hand to defend myself
when the proper time arrives"
The statement had been made to
Mr.. McNall that pending the final
disposition OF the case which was
filed yesterday, the representatives
of the companies involved in the liti-
cation, since the superintendent has
been enjOined from throwing them
into Jail, will proceed to solicit bust
ness in the state. Upon this PROPOSE,
tiOn Mr.. McNall said today:
"Any agent representing any COM
pany not licensed to do business in
Kansas soliciting any new business in
this state, or writing the same, with.
out any reference to the outcome OF
the HillmOn case or the litigation
now pending will not, so long as am
superintendent of insurance, receive
license to do business 10 the state
at any future time"
Mr. McNall takes this position 10
advance to prevent the companies
from overriding his ruling with refer.
ence to the decision in refusing
licenses to three Hillmon case com.
panieS, the details OF which are
already known to the general public.
In this connection Mr.. McNall to.
day received from President Greene

that not more than three members of
the commission should belong to any
one party. Friday night the senate
had confirmed three Democrats and
three POpulists and for that reason
Brandenbnrg was turned down. An
adjournment was then taken, leaving
the two Republican members TO be
without confirmation.
Senator Campbellof Labette, offered
a resolution that it was the sense of
the senate that Governor Leedy
should appoint Senator Lamb OF
WOOdson, and Representative Nc.
Keever of Shawnee, as the Republican
members Of the commission, and
moved its adoption. Senator Lamb
and the Republicans joined in a mo-
tlOn to adjourn sine die before the
Campbell resolution could be voted
on, and their motion carried.
This leaves the condition OF the
text book commission rather mixed.
The question Is now: Is there one or
two vacancies? There is no question
about there being one, as Macdonald
refused to serve and resigned. But
it is claimed that D. o. McCray, the
other Republican appointed by Leedy,
is still member, although uucOn-
firmed. McCray'S name came up for
confirmation last night, and there
was a tie vote. Before the result was
announced, which would have meant
defeat, a motion to reconsider was
made and Senator SterDe Withdrew
McCray'S name from the list Of ap-
pOintments. 1t is claimed that no
one has right to withdraw the name
of an appOintee but the governor who
made it. II this is correct, then Nc
Cray now stands as one Of the ap.
pOintees. The senate has refused 10
act on his case in any way. McCray
says he is positive that he is a mem
Der and that governor Leedy will
issue him a commission upon his
return from the south. The vacancy
caused by MacDOnald'S refusal to
serve will be filed by the governor
later.
The commission holds its first meet
ing in May, when bids will be re-
ceived from va ious school book con.
Germs for the supply OF books to all Of
the public schools of Kansas for a term
of five years.
