oUTGENERALED HER ILL LUCl

OUTGENERALED HER ILL LUCK.
The Bonhomme Richard was an I'M
lucky ship. Paul Jones himself on talk
ing command OF her at Lorient, France,
wrote a most doleful letter about her
to one of his aristocratic patronesses
in Paris. She was "a worn-out old
Indiaman" and cher forecastle was a
babel' Fourteen different languages
are spoken in my forecastle," said
Jones, dismayed at the appearance Of
his motley crew.
Two days out at sea the Bonhomme
Richard was fouled by her consort, the
Alliance, and had her jibboom and fore
topmast carried away. Jones then put
back to Lorient, fully convinced Of the
unluckiness of his ship. But through
that accident he found ia American
seamen who had just. been released
from English prisons by exchange.
Among them was Richard Dale, whom
Jones at once appointed first lieutenant
These all volunteered into the Richard
Jones promptly discharging enough Of
his polyglots to make way for them
Prior to that he had only about forty
Americans. This addition made 154
fighting Yankee seamen, and they were
the men who made the Scraps sick
few weeks later off the east coast OF
England.
Thus it happened that the grandest
exploit in naval history was achieved
by an unlucky ship, and she obtained
the means of achieving it through a
distressing accident.-F'rom the Phila-
delphia Times.

Corn is king in Kansas, but the Kan
sas Mail and Breeze places the hen on
queens throne and presents the follow
ing reasons why she should be retained:
aWe have read Of Maud cna summer
day, who raked, barefOOted, the new
moWn hay; We have read Of the
maid in the early morn, who milk
ed the COW with the crumpIed horn;
and we've read the lays that the poets
sing, Of the rustling corn and the
flowers Of spring, but all the lays Of
tongue or pen, there's naught like the
lay Of the Kansas hen. Long, long be-
fore Maud raked her hay the Kansas
hen had begun to lay, and ere the milk
maid stirs a peg, the hen is up and has
dropped her egg; the corn must rustic,
the flowers spring, if they hold their
own with the barnyard ring. If Maud
is needing a hat or gown, she doesn't
hustle her hay to town; she gees to the
store and obtains her suit, with a bss-
ketful Of fresh hen fruit. If the milk
maids beau makes a Sunday call, she
doesn't feed him on milk at all, bat
works up eggs in a oustard pie and
stufs him full Of a chicken fry; and
when the old man wants horn, does
he take to the druggist a load Of corni
Not much he simply Fobs & nest and
to town he goes-yOu know the rest
He fingers there and talks, perchance
of true reform and correct fee-nsnCe
while his poor wife stays at home and
sCoWls, but is saved from want by those
self-same fowls; for while her husband
fingers there, she watches the cacklinG
hens with care, and gathers the eggs
and the eggs she'll hide till she saves
enough to stem the tide. Then hail
all hail, to the Kansas hen, the greatest
blessing of all to menl Throw up you
hats and make Rome howl for the per
severing barnysrd fowl Corn may b.
king, but it's plainly seen the Kansas
hen is the Kansas queen"

The two following extracts show the I
consistency Of the average republican
editor ia Kansas:
sThe pFobibitoEy Law IS not enforced
10 this county; joints sre running vide
open Tor the FIRST time in years, owing
to & deal made between the pcpulists,
who have the executive Offices Of the
city and county, and the Whiskey men.
There is no effort made to close the
joints here. The third party prohibit
tionists are still enthusiastic for the
popuiists and excuse the whisksy deal
BY saying that the republicans we're
Just as bad. There is no hops Of clos
ing the joints in Emporia for two years
when the popplists will 60 out. The
county is strongly in favor Of the en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law and
there is practically no resubmission
sentiment here among republicans.
The resubmission vote would come
from the ex-democrstie vote in the
populist party and it has not increased
since Robson ran for governor in
1s90.s-W. A. White Of the Emporia

ut IS said that Kansas is governed
| by psttieOats. If by this it is meant
that women shape the public senti-
ment Of the Kansas town, the saying is
true. In most towns in other states
the corners Of the principal streets are
occupied by dram shops. In the town
where this paper is written, the inAu-
enoe of women has been exerted SO
| forcibly that three of the four corners
where the two main streets cross are
occupied by banks. Instead of He

games ere talked over, and politics

An episode of unusual interest as
noting the trend Of things, was the
resignation Of President Andrews of
Brown University because the liberty
of speech was denied him by the trus-
tees. Commenting upon this incident
the London Chronicle says: "Thers is
no doubt that, like Prof. Bemis, who
was dismissed from the University Of
Chicago, President Andrews vas dis
missed because he warned his country
men against the growth Of great
moRoPOlies. It seems certain that q
conflict is approaching that will shake
the union as it was shaken BY the great
slavery question. It looks as though

THAT CuRRENcY CONNIsgION.

McKiniey's currency commission
message to congress, in its closing
hours, was an insult to the intelligence
and patriotism of the American people.
The house Of representatives hasten
ed to pass bill appropriating 100000
for the expenses Of such a commission.
The senate took no action on the sub
ject and adjourned, and thus the mat
ter stands.
In the first place the message was a
piece Of impertinence. The constitu-
ton says: "All legislative powers shall
be vested in a congress of the United
States. Congress shall have power to
borrow money on the credit of the
United States; to coin money, regulate
the value thereof, and Of foreign coin;
to provide for the punishment Of COun-
terfeiting the securities and current
coin of the United States, and 10y i'm
plicationl to issue bills Of credit"
Mckinley would have the congress
of the United States delegate to gold
bug commission these constitutional
perogatiYes, and the house is willing
to squander 100000 of the peoples
money to pay the expenses Of this con-
cIave of the money power in their US
urpation of the powers of congress.
and whose conclusions could have no
authority of law whatever.
The message insults the intelligence
and ability of the congress of the
United States. Why not have also a
tariff CommissionY Why not let out the
whole business of national legislation?
He might as we'll ask that the govern
ment itself go into the hands of e re-
ceiver. AS the Roman empire did, it
has already farmed out taxation TO the
trusts, combines and corporations, and
they are not required to turn over as
much as faFthing of the millions they
take from the people to the govern
ment. The president should, TO be
consistent, turn over the executive de-
partment to 8 commission, and then
go a fishing, la Cleveland.
The message is a practical endorse
ment of the gold standard, with no
further pretense Of friendliness to bi-
metallism) to the retiring Of the green
backs and all other forms Of govern
ment paper money, the issue of all
forms Of paper money by national and
state banks; the government to go
out of the banking business and the
banks to go into the governing busl-
ness.
The message is an insult to repub-
