When IN Diagrace.


When in disgrace with fortune and men

And trouble deep heaven with my bootiess
cries.
And look upon myself and curse my fate.
Wishing me Ike TO one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends
possessed,
Desiring this mans art, and that mans
scope,
with whatI most enjoy eonten,ed least;
Ye, in these thoughts myself almost de-

Happily / think or thee. and then my

For thy sweet love remembered such

That then scern 20 change my state with

PRETTY MUCH GALL.

The Topeka Capital, the Emporia Ga
zette and some other papers have OF late
been cemplaisantly appealing to the
party bosses to graciously permit Kan
eas silver Republicans to return to the
fold. How wisely considerate, now
charitably these generous contempora-
ries are. The monetary question and
the future principles Of the Repuoiicah
party were settled, Of course, IN the last
campaign for all time, settled by the
active aid of free trade, gold-bug Dem
ocrats who esteem money more than
any party or any principle. The Repub-
lican party is not so very old, measured
by national existence, but is old enough
10 have made record on the silver
question. Some of the men who are
bald-headed and gray today We're just
about as bald and gray when tie lie

lican and as the idol of his party Car

pledged to bimetallism, for a bilnetai-
ism that demanded the free and uniim-

General Harrison, who was elected TO

is in favor of the use of both gold and

ministration in its efforts to demonetize

We do not pretend that conditions
have not changed. Nor are we going
TO attempt TO prove that the party has
changed. But we would maintain that
man who failed to change his convic-
tons promptly with a change of condi-
tons which he could not readily COM
prehend is not necessarily a renegade
who must be welcomed back only in
the spirit with which the prodigal son
avs received. The discovery of a
mountain of gold today should not have
the effect of bouncing every protective
tariff Republican over the party walls
by tomorrow. And, further, no free sill
yer Republican is outside of the party
to be thus welcomed back, or otherwise
unless he has foresworn the principles
Of the party, not any more than the

Interviewing Dom Paul.

A female correspondent Of the Westmin-
ster Gazette has been boarding President
Kruger in his lair in Petoria, and this is
how she describes her impressions of dou-
shty Dom Paul:
The president was seated at round table
when went in, discussing voluhly TO two
addressed burghers-on the prevalent topic
of rinderpest, as 1 afterwards discovered
so sat down till ne had finished with them.
You know what he Is like? Add to II the
most awful voice-ans unhappy combination
of a croak and a growl. He had pipes anu
tobacco on the table, and dark blue glass
spittoon about q foot high, at his feet.
A red and yellow cotton pocket handker-
ch;ef-primary colors!-peeped forth from
bis chair. At one of the room was an OIL
raining of himself, a statueite OF ditto IN
a prominent corner and medallion OF tne
same unclassical features under the SIDE
hoard The whole place is teeming with
contradictions of himself in canvas, stone
and metal quite in the best Pecksniffian
manner.
Two metal tortoises-probabiy tobacco
jsrs2-not being a new woman I couldn'i
discriminate-were lying at hand on the
table.
I wonder if they suggested his famous
Uitlander smile?
When the two bucolics had retired ne
motioned me TO come nearer him, as II
were a patient In an East End surgery.
l must say his manners match his appear
ance He's very grumpy at present, they
say. and he certainly was. He soiemnly
shook hands, and then DR.. Leyds private
secretary translated what had to say, and
after listening in solemn silence in the dull
dark room to my request, he granted 1t In
a churlish manner.
I hoped Mrs. Kruger was well, following
iongo intervalIo the colonial secretary.
mo, not very we'll not seeing anyone,
his honor grunted. That was all: another
solemn handshake, and We parted.
The president doesn't take on much pol
ish," I remarked to the private secretary
as we descended the stoop.
mo" he laughed; 1.-The president Is es
sentially a farmer, and can doctor sick OF
with any OF them
Yes" ] replied, but not sick state.
whereat he seemed much amused. but
like the Tar Baby, he went on sayin nut
I'm to a mere woman's imprudent remark.

Odd Fellows Home.
From the Kansas CITY Gazette.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The row over the De Boissiere property
in Franklin county Is one illustration of
communism Had the eccentric old French
man married and reared a family in the
good American way, there would have been
heirs to his wealth and 10 trouble about II.
As It was he had no near relatives he want
ed TO favor, and tried to give his property
away to the ODD Fellows. Even IN that he
y as unsuccessful. ans now il is in Etiga-
ton and the lawyers viii take the whole
thing for their fees. The eld-fashioned de-
cent, Christian way of living out ones al
lotted time on this earth is the best-Bur-
hnston Republican.
Ewing Herbert had an article in the Kan
sas City Star last Sunday in which It was
stated that an issue would be made among
the Odd Fellow fraternity of the state this
Summer, and that = Grand Lodge would
be elected for next October that would back
the trustees of the De Boiss-ere Home
against the syndicate now seeking possess
sion. Every interest In the state should
take hand in such fight. vast MAORI
ty of the people would infinitely rather see
an estate of 1900 acres in perpetual use for
the benefit OF orphans than that it should
be gobbied by syndicate of spectators
The old man owning the property wished
that it be so used, while the other side IN
this contest would destroy the splendid pur-
pose, for seifishness only. and without any
legitimate claim to the property.
The trustees were given the property In
dependent of the Grand Lodge. The old
Trenchman's wisdom in refusing to place
the Management Of the property in body
Of five or six hundred. changing yearly,
has been already wonderfully confirmed.
The fool Grand Lodge, after putting $500
or 10000 into 1t, repudiated all connection.
and authorized a quit claim deed to be
given. The property, however. according
to the old mans deed, and not any viii, is
| in the control Of board Of trustees, dur
| ing their life. Upon the death OF a trustee
his place is to be flied by appointment OF
| the Grand Master, and he shall serve fof
life. The only connection the Grand Lodge
can have with the Home Is TO practice
| the first precept of the order, to care for the
| orphan, by leyying small tax TO pay GER
| tain current expenses incurred IN providing
| for them.
The five trustees named In De Boissiere's
deed will hold the property, Independent OF
any action of the Grand Lodge. Nor DO We

tjon- When this provision is made it is
his estimate that il will require an out
Law on the part of the government OF
$40 1000. 900 in excess of that now appro-
nriated. The pension appropriation
amounts to $14O,OOO,O0o annually for
the 97o.67S pensioners The difference
batween 97O.67S and the 100000 just
onoted represents the number of wild
ovs on the pension roll. An idea Of the
number of years more the United States
government will have to pay pensions
to widows of veterans Of the last war
NAV be gathered from the fact that the
United States is now paying pensions
70 some fifteen or twenty widows OF
soldiers of the revolutionary war, a war
that closed III years ago.
The amount Of money annually PAID
out in pensions by the United states Is
double the amount paid by Great Brit
ain for the support of her entire army.
II is S27.OO0Oo0 more than Germany 5
army costs. 1t is larger sum than II
takes to keep up Frances standing
army of 10000. This vast sum comes
from the whole people and goes back
to only a portion of them but to de-
serving portion for the most part. mat
frauds are committed and that many
undeserving receive more than their
enuitable share there is no doubt line

come tax, but it did the work in jun
hing manner, and it ought to be done

Mr.. Townes then said that there was
some justification for the assault. Judge
Newburger looked at Mr.. ToWnes WIN

to hear counsel make such an admission.
The Judge then said after referring 10

others that they must not repeat an OF

Radcliffe was taken back to his cell IN
the tombs TO await transfer TO the penl-
Tertiary on Blackwelrs Island, where he
will be confined to hard labor. This does
not carry with it the deprivation OF civil
rights that is involved in a State-prlson
sentence.
A large crowd was present 10 hear the
actor sentenced. Mrs. Radcliffe and her
father. Peter DeLacey, were absent.
Supreme Court-Judge Dickey, at White

BROOKLYN on Monday next. The actor VIII
remain in Jail pending the argument as
TO whether there shall not be retrial on
the charge Of assault.
