ALL PARTY RULE Is BAD.

Carl Schurz in Harper's Weel1ly)
BY way of object lesson, let the citi-
zens of New York ask themselves this
question:
AS our political parties are now or
ganized. would George Washington
have any chance of preferment in either
of them?
Not the slightest. The Republican
machine as well as Tammany Hall
would set him down as an intolerable
dude" a pharisee. A man of such
squeamishness in selecting persons for
expressed in the farewell address about
the ''baneful effects of the spirit of
party" and about 1.-The interest and
duty of a wise people to discourage and
restrain it, would be scored as mug
wump, and an utterly unfit person for
the confidence of a regular party organ
government In the Republican caucus
of the New York legislature, George
Washington would, in the contest for
senatorship, have been laughed at as
a competitor of Thomas c. Plat; as he
would, while the legislature was con-
trolled by the Democratic machine,
have been an absolutely hopeless eandi-
date as against David B. Hill or Ed
ward Murphy. And in the city of New
York it would require a successful re-
volt against both regular organizations
to make George Washington mayor.
This applies not to New York alone, but
to Pennsylvania likewise. and to many
other states in a greater or less degree
In fact, the party organization in its re-
cent development tends in the same dfrec-
ton almost ali over the country 1t is
true, men of the first order of character
and ability still get into high places now
and then. But this is in most cases OW-
ing to one of four circumstances; either
some man in authority is large-minded
and courageous enough to appoint them
to important positions, Notwithstanding
the displeasure of the party machine; or
there is a public sentiment strong enough
to force their nomination and election
over the head of the regular organiza-
lions; the party organizations nOmi-
nate them under circumstances making
their defeat eminently probable. and they
are elected in spite of this, owing to for
tunate changes in the situation; regu-
lar organizations put them forward, un-
dervaluing their character by mistake.
But generally it will hardly be denied
that party organization, as it has gradu-
ally developed itself under the influence
of the patronage system, tends more to
suppress than to promote the employment
in the public service of the best talent
and character of the country. And this
accounts to a great extent for the deter
ioration of our political life which is
much complained of.

Bills INFECTIOUS LAUGH

There's nothing in the world more

posters were not surrounded by a crowd

night came the hall was damned, but it
couldn't have been a less responsive
audience If the penalty for laughing
had been solitary imprisonment for
life. The show wasn't half bad, and

While the people on the stage were

a roar that dropped icicles from the cave

players couldn't escape contagion. Pref

Post.1
Whitman's physical habits are given
with the particularly of his own cata-
Iogues of the human anatomy and
physiology. He was very c1eanly, but
equally untidy. There are facsimiles
of his manuscripts in evidence. These
he would roll up tie with a string. and
throw into the woodpile in the corner
of his room. He did not use tobacco,
and used wines and liquors with great
moderation. HE used his knife as a
divider and his fork to eat food with.
He was not a sword-swallower." Mr..
unconscious of himself as a great man
of beyond the common. when he was
eating off a dry goods box for a table
and drinking milk warmed over coal
oil stove, and a few crackers with it,
he would ask you to dine with the dig
nifty of a prince; and never apologized
for or mentioned the food" His house
in Camden was coop at best" dear
for the money that it cost, but selected
because it had a tree in front of it and
some lilacs in the back yard. Then too,
it was near the ferries. 1t was in the
business part of the unsightly town. but
he thought it "a restful place" saying,
with exceptional humor, that when he
solute rest, he spent the day in Phila-
delphia." A guano factory near by
made the atmosphere intolerable for
his visitors. Did you ever smell any
thing like it?' said one of them. And
the old fiend sat there and chatted as
though the balm of a thousand flowers
encircled him.

SHALL MACADAM BE TRIED
Proposition to Improve All the
Streets in Topeka

The Topeka Commercial club is making
an inVeStiga ton to ascertain the temper
of the people on the question of improve
ment of streets. 1t is the purpose to
the next meeting to macadamize several
streets.
A list ct eight questions has been sent
to 100 business men. The first four Ques
lions relate to the price of pavement and
the increased value of property as the re-
are follows:
What suggestion would you make as
to how our streets may be improved with
the least expense?"
What objection do you see against
macadamizing all unimproved streets in
our city?'
What streets in particular. in your
opinion should be improved at once?''
The replies are coming in slowly and
not more than % have been received The
have reported is that streets should be
macadanized and nearly all recommend
that Tenth street to Buchanan should be
paved and a cross street connecting Sixth
and Tenth. The streets suggested for
this purpose are Clay Buchanan.
One or two suggest that it would be a
good plan to macadamize the principal
thoroughfareS connecting with well trav-
elled roads from the country OF course
this pavement could be made only far
as the city limits.
The subject will be made the text for
the club. If any more macadamizing is
done around Topeka, it should be the real
kind and not the horrible botches perpe-
trated on the East Sixth street road and
Topeka avenue, alongside the fair
grounds. Macadamizing does not con-
sist in dumping loose stones into mud
holes. A substantial base should be pro-
vided for it.
