The big feed of Jefersonian de mocracv in New York, took place on the 18th. An associated press dis patch says that there were fully 300 more guests than the l500 planned Cor, but all found seats. This is said to be the largest number ever sc- commodated at a banquet in the history of the city. The band struck up Hail to the Chief" at 7:30 o'clock and Richard Croker, arm m arm with John Stanchfeld marched down the aisle. MT. Croker held a levee just before the regular speech making began. He shook bands cordially with everybody and smiled as man after man congratulated him upon the success of the dinner. The confusion was very great. As the time drew near for the making of speeches. the orators were almost discouraged at the prospect of mak- ing themselves heard. Perry Bel mont began to speak at 10 o'clock. The uproar was so great that he could not be heard a hundred feet away. 4 crank letter of few days ago. in winch a threat was made to blow up the building during the dinner seemed to have made the police unusually vigilant. A num- Der of detectives in evening dress mingled with the guests so that no person might enter.

Kansas is proud of her Colonel Funston, who led his brave men in famous charge against the Fili- pinos at Malolos. Kansas men are all right. AD exchange gives the following brief sketch of the mau
 who is ouly thirty-three years old: Colonel Frederick Funston is a son of ex-C Congressman E. H. Funston
 of the second Kansas district. He was born in Ohio and is a graduate of the Kansas state university. In bis early days Funston worked as a reporter on the Fort Smith Tribune. During President Harrison's admin istration be was sent to Alaska by tue government on a hunt for speci- mems and had many thrilling eXpe- riences, demonstrating his prowess. He made canoe trip aloue 300 miles up the Yukon. In the fall of 1894 Funston went to Cuba and enlisted iu the Cuban army. For two years he fought valiantly for the cause of the insurgents. At one time he was commissioned a colonel and com handed the entire artillery forces of the Cubans, under General Garcia. He fired the first dynamite gun used by the Cubans in their war agaInst the Spanish, and was in many severe battles. In one charge he received a bullet just below the heart, which penetrated his body. He returned to Kansas and had barely recovered from his wound when Governor Leedy appointed him colonel of the Kansas regiment"

If anyone thinks that the number thirteen is never associated with un lucky events, let him be reminded that in the recent New York fire thirteen people lost their lives and now comes word of a bridge disaster on the Harlem river m which that number figures as the number oi those who lost theIr lives. The thirteen victims in these two re- spective incidents were certainly J un- lucky to say the least.
 Governor Murphy is criticised, by our contemporary, for refusing to issue e1tradition papers for the ar rest and return to the territory of a man who left his creditors ir the iurch here. If the governor should start up a custom of e1traditing persons of this class he could be kept busy.

Puncfuafion.

What e great difference in the mean ing of a sentence a misplaced comma can mAkel Take the following. for ex- ample:

 James, my husband. is a very sick man.
 The following bit of perverse puno- tuation was perpetrated by An English oompositor. What the author meant to say can be ascribed by a encouragement of the punctuation marks:
 Cesar entered on his head; his hel- met on his feet; armed sandals upon his brow; there was 6 cloud in hisright hand; his faithful sword in his eye; an angry glare saying nothing. he sat down. " - Rttsburg Chronicle Tele- Qranh

SECTION OF UNITED INTERESTS.

SEO iON OF OfNi " GO iiNa %''-
 The Gulf and the Pacific coasts are now occupying a prominence be- fore the public they have never en- joyed in the past. The great gran ary of the nation lies directly above the Gulf of Mexico. Trans-oeeaniC intercourse with the Mexican ports and those in South America not only. but the shipment of products to the whole world. here finds its most direct and simplests channel The rosperity of Houston, of Gal weston, of the young Port Arthur and New Orleans, at times when the rest of the country was lsuguisbing, was but an evidence of this vital change in the course of a nations commerce. Cuba, temporarily ours, and sure to be always a sympathetic neighbor at least, will help to de velop this change 10 a eonsumma- tion so great that the greatest Of dreamers can not mentally compass its vast commercial significance. A future Marseilles is born somewhere on the Gulf coast. In the develop ment of harbors, in united demand for tie needs of that section, the whole west, with its white-capped seas of cotton and its fields of golden grain, is directly interested. The evolution of the southern port of the Gulf, with its direct and rapid intercourse with the granaries lying tying 10 the north, has not been as slow as it might have been. Bt it can still be expedited by agitation, the firm, unrelenting, reasoning agi- tstion, of not one section, but of the msny sections of the west.
 Bereft of hindeTing political d. visions, and no longer hamPered by sectional prejudice, the west of the north and the west of the south have begun to unite. One has become the others auxiliary. One has be- come the others shipping point Bat the unison Is not perfected, and m mlch remains to be done. This can only be accomplished by further, closer, and more sympathetic friend ship. This may be attained by a slow evolution of compliments and earnest of goodwill through the medium of the public press, but only with tedium and delay. It may be more surely, more swiftly accomp- lished by the intermingling of the representative men of the two sec tions.
 Therein is the vital importance of the meeting of the Trans Mississippi Commercial congress in Wichita, Kansas, May 3lst. Wichita is in the midst of the great granary which if to develop the Gulf ports to a world magnitude. There the Gulf coast should have representation, not ex- cursiouists, but men deeply imbued with the plan of mutual develop ment of the two sections, who have the facts at hand, who have moulded their necessities to positive demands. Such men, intimately acquainted with the necessities of the hour, can, at that congress, meet men intim- ately acquainted with their neces- sitIes.
 Once thoroughly acquainted with one another, there can be no friction. The interests.are mutual, and need only the cement of mutual under standing snd unison iD action to ac- complish what both desire. The Gulf ports should not miss the chance to further this opportunity, and to send large representations to Wichita in May.

GOVERNOR TAYLOR'S FARE
 WELL TO POLITICS.

On retiring from his official posi- tion as governor of Tennessee, Hon. Robert Taylor delivered the follow ing remarkable address:
 "I am about to shuttle of this mortal coil of politics and fly away to the heaven Of my native noun tains, where 1 may thInk and dream m peace, safe from the sickening sting of unjust criticism, safe from the talous of some old political vul- ture; safe from the slimy kiss and keen dagger of ingrstitude. l do uot mean to say that all politicians are vultures, or that they are all hyp ocrites or assassins; for the great majority of our public men are up- right and honest and worthy of the confidence reposed in them by the people; yet there are black wings ID the political Armament, and reptiles crawl and hiss in every capital. But, lhaaK God, the live thEnders of eternal truth always clear the at- mosphere, and the heel of justice will surely bruise the serpent's head
 ''I do not retire, the somnambulist of shattered dream, but with all the buds of hope bursting into bloom and all the bowers of the future ringing with melody. 1 am con- ented with my lot in life. Three times have worn the laurel wreath of honor, twined by the people of my native state, and that IS glory enough for me.
 While l believe that the good of politics Outweighs the bad, yet how thorny is the path, and how unhappy the pilgrimage of him who dares to do his duty. There are DO flowers except a few boquets snatched from the graves of fallen foes; there is no happiness except the transient thrill of cruel triumph which passes like 8 shadow across the heart.
 ''1o me there IS nothing in this world so pathetic as e candidate. He is like . mariner drifting without a compass, drifting on the tempest tossed waves of uncertainty, between the smiling cliffs Of hope and the frowning crags of fear. He is 6 walking petition and living prayer, he IS the dromedaTy of politics, the pack horse of public sentiment. And even if he reaches the goal of ambition, he will soon feel the serp- ents' fangs.
 "Never again will 1 be inaugurated into public office. The ark of my public career now rests on the Ara rat Cf private life, and 1 stand on its peaceful summit and look down on the Teceding food of politics The dove of my destiny has brought me sn olive branch from happier fields, and l go hence to labor and to love.
 "And now Eelton McMillan. (the goyernor-e 'ect) you have given your hand and heart to Tennessee, l pronounce you man and wife, and may God have mercy on your souls. ."
