PULL DOWN THE CURTAIN.

With a well nigh unanimous clamor
the people of Kansas are emandins
that the legislature at Topeka adjourn.
The constitutional fifty days are up
and the members can draw no more
pay, but, unfortunately, their army of
clerks can, while every other expense
goes on save the simple per diem. Ev-
cry hour that that ratified body remains
now in session is fraught with possible
whistles which may come very high.
Wise action seldom comes of despera-
ton, and the less brains and experience
the greater the desperation. Nothing
which that body might now do would
relieve it of the stigma of assininity.
There remains TO it only the chances
of home and forgetfulness for its indi-
yidual members. The only reason that
they have not strangled the state is that
they didn't know enough. Running
through every line of this winters rec
orde are the words mOckery and humil-
iation. There is nothing TO do but to
end the farce, drop the curtain and get

ANOTHER KANSAN GONE.

OF the sterling yet unique characters
who founded Kansas and in founding
it forced the issue which precipitated
the historical struggle that resulted in
q revolution for the southern states and
the destruction Of the institution OF
slavery, few are left. And the lapse
of time has been SO great, COMPARE
lively, and the changes socially, polt-
icalIy and materially so marked, that
the few who still live have been lost
sight of. They go uncounted and unre-
varded. One of these men. the Hon.
John Speer. but yesterday called our
attention TO the death of Major James
Burnett Abbott. compatriot of Mr.
Speer. He died at his home in DeSoto,
Johnson county. Not one IN ten thou
sand knew OF Abbott or anything of the
prominent part he played in the terrific
rial struggle, in the days Of John Brown
and Jim Lane, He was born in Con-
necticut in 1918 and came 70 Kansas
in 1854. He was direct descendant of
the Abbotts of the Mayfower and fore
fathers and kindred participated In the
revolution. Abbotts life and advent
rres in the Territory of Kansas read
ike a romance OF medieval times. He
lead the rescue of DIR. John boy from
the ST. Joe. Mo, Jail and was promi-
nent in the fight of Black Jack, where
Henry Clay Pale surrendered to John
Brown, took part in the Wakamsa
war and the battle Of Franklin, etc,
conflicts low unknown except TO the
readers Of the history Of those early
DAYS and TO the few survivors of those
times. Mr.. Speer wrote Abbott'S BIZ
ography for Lewis Kansas Dictionary,
which tells not only of his heroism and
services to the cause of freedom, but
shows him to have been a brave. chiv-
alrous and honorable man. 10 whom his
state not only hut his fellow man owes
much to his memory.

WHO IS BLISS?

The time is not long since when New
York was counted in no matter which
of the national parties had succeeded
to power. OF cabinetships, minister
ships. collectorships and consul general
ships. New York has always held the
lions share. Not so now, nor VIII II
ever be so again. 1t has been a ques-
ton for weeks whether any New York
man would be rendered cabinet posi-
ton. Several men have been talked
Of. but it has all been indefinite. For
a while it was expected that the IA
nous railroad president and after-dln-
ner speaker, Depew, would be rendered
the ministership to England. But he
and his friends have been disappolnt-
ed. The place goes TO John Hay, who
with Nicolay was private secretary TO
President Lincoln. Hay lives in Wash
ington. Nicolay was a Kansas man
and owned a farm in Usage county.
But at the last moment Cornelius Bliss
of New York City is rendered the sec
retaryship of the interior. lie prOba-
bly, knows more about ships and water
than Of the prairieS and Indians. But
politics makes no account of such
things. Bliss is rich, great merchant,
who is sixty years of age. He mas
seen but little of public life, although
he was a member Of Blaine's Pan
American congress, as he was also
president of the American Protective
Tariff League for long time. He
declined the nomination for governor
of his state in 1885. He does not like
personal politics and in 1891, when the
talk was that the Republicans would
nominate him for their candidate for
governor, again he took vessel Tor
Europe, where he remained until the
matter had been settled. In the last
two national campaigns he has been
the treasurer of the National RepubE-
can committee, which place he accept
ed at the earnest solicitation Of Mckin-'
lev and Hanna He is a thorough
going business man of wide experience
and splendid ability, and will handle
the affairs of, the interior in a way that
they have never been. It will be bus
mess and not politics with Bliss.

States. American citizens have been

cases there is good reason for believ-
