the habit of some Kansas editors of
saying Nobody was drunk" with ref
erence to large gatherings. What
brutal declaration" he says. mo KAN
sas gathering receives its final newspa-
per farewell, no great meeting of any
kind can occur anywhere in the state
and be dismissed from the columns Of
the newspaper write-up, till some
jaundiced imbecile announces in oWlish
stupidity that nobody was drunk. Just
as though the people of Kansas are in
the habit of getting drunk. We have at
tended very many public gatherings in
every part of the state since the close
of the war and cannot recall half
dozen men who were drunk. Kansas
people don't get drunk; and it would
be just as appropriate for the neWspa-
per to say that nobody was shot; no.
body set the town on fire; or nobody ex-
ploded from overlooking, as to say that
nobody was drunk. People of brains
don't get drunk. 1t is not polite, not
fashionable, not along the lines of SEN
sible eating and drinking to get drunk.
We are not a drunken people. and 1T is
brutal reflection on the state for d
newspaper to suggest that it is even
possible or probable that any Kansas
man would even under any circum-
stances, get drunk. 1t is beastly
SANDER to even suggest such thing. y

Family Whose Members Have a Penchan
for Politics and tho Pulpit.
From the Louisville, KY, Commercial.
It is remarkable that, while Elder
John S. Sweeney of Paris, KY, is the
of Kentucky, his brother, Elder q. t.
Sweeney of Columbus, Ind, is being
groomed by his friends for the repub-
lican nomination for governor of the
Hoosier~ state. Underlying their abil-
tiles as ministers there seems to be a
penchant for politics which these two
reverend brothers cannot prevent crop
pring out occasionally. Not only are
they remarkable personally. but they
come from remarkable family. The
father, Elder G. e. Sweeney, and his
four sons all entered the ministry.
Elder John S. Sweeney was educated
for lawyer, practicing for three years
at Springfield, Ill. Later he decided ito
enter the ministry and accepted the
pastorate of church in Chicago. There
he baptized Potter Palmer and after
ward performed the ceremony at his
marriage. Leaving Chicago Elder Swee-
ney became an evangelist His second
son, William, is now studying for the
ministry. Elder Zachariah Taylor Swee-
ney of Columbus, Ind. is perhaps the
most widely known minister of the
Christian denomination. He was con-
sui general to Constantinople under
President Harrison. Elder William
Sweeney inherited much of his fathers
wonderful pulpit eloquence. He died
while serving as collector of customs
at Dubuque, Iowa, to which position he
was appointed by President Harrison
while in charge of church a Dubuque.
Elder George Sweeney met with wonders
full success until his health failed him.
He moved to Chicago and temporarily
retired on account of his health Elder
q. T. Sweeney is at present state fish
commissioner of Indiana.

thing more amusing, if intended as
satire, or more absurd, If offered as

Aguinaldos speech at Tarlac, during
the recent celebration of the anniver-

markable oration: -.-

warmed you with the breath of her
own culture and civilization. 1t is true
she sought to crush thy aspirations for
independence, as a loving mother OPP
poses separation forever from the
daughter of her bosom. This but
proves the excess of affection and love
which Spain feels for thee"
This, l think, will suffice. There is
nothing more easy than for false pa
thos to descend into bathos. and
Aguinaldo seems to have made this
descent. If he has such an exalted love
for mobile Spain" he might show it, one
would imagine better by releasing her
sons than by INDUCING in such master
pieces of eulogy. But prisoners are
worth something, words are cheap; he
would rather repay his loving moth
err with aphorisms than with men.
Protests Too Much.
In truth, though Aguinaldo has CT
late shown more than one evidence of a
lack of sterling honesty, l did not
think him capable of such a transpar-
emit piece of fiction as this. He has had
too much experience of the character
of Spain's affection for the daughter
of her bosom not to have been laugh
ing in his sleeves at the dupes whom
he sought to deceive by such an empty
form of language. In the words Of
Shakespeare, the gentleman doth pro-
test too much, methinks." and with the
readers permission, ] propose to say
something about what Aguinaldo Is
thoroughly familiar with. the peculiar
methods with which Spain has demon
strated her love for her island daugh-
ter
In truth, 1t is impossible for me to
think of the brutalities of the Span
iards their cold and heartless cruelty,
without a sentiment of the deepest in
dignation, an adherence of a people
who pose as civilized, yet act like ruth
less sayages. The atrocities of the
Hindus during the revolt in India have
nothing to show surprising that of the

WHY AN ALLIANCE WON'T WORK.
America Too Cosmopolitan to Engage in
a Duel With England.

From the Toledo Bee.
The prince of Wales has never had
the pleasure Of meeting the editor of
the Bee and we have never played
pedro, seven-up or baccarat with him,
hence we don't know much more about
his royal nibs than he knows about the
Bee. And we are frank to confess that
we have never warmed our toes at the
natural gas CRATE at Windsor castle
while permitting Queen Victoria. to en-
JOY a social tete-a-tete with us at the
family fireside. We don't spend our
summer vacations at the white house
and Secretary Hay never had an in
PRODUCTION in our direction. So it IS
not strange that we don't know much
about that alleged Anglo-Saxon alil-
ance. But we're against it Just the
same Every time we think OF II the
rich Dutch blood that comes courslns
through our veins from our wires iioi-
land ancestors gets fighting mad ana II
is then that we sympathize Win me

er times when some of the Iacts con-
nected with the alliance make the piooo

we get what Irish blood there is WITH
in our proud American veins stlrred up.
So, altogether we have ulchens ~ q
time. But that's the risk an Allieficah
citizen runs who boasts OF such pr
fuse lineage that almost all OF the En-
ropean nations got mixed UP in it one
way or another.
And We don't wonder that many
Americans are in the same hx 100
,,,anv of lis are the proud possessors OF
family tree that is pTin nsrsntye soo a

doesn't have to chase himself back
many generations to find that an Irish
man. German, Scotchman or some other
Van whose country had its toes
trampled on by the English was mixed
mn in the case. Those people always
were very enterprising, you know.
All of which is very unfortunate for
American citizens; they have so many
kinds of blood in their veins that some
part of it is always ready to boil. And
that's one reason We can't mix it up
with England to any considerable ex-
tent and still feel comfortable. So the
best thing for us to do is to paddle
our own canoe and let England go fly

Thanking the people of Butte for
their patronage, l wish to state my
Filipino-Spani exhibit will close in
a few days. 1t is gratifying to know
that the collection has been invariably
pronounced instructive and intensely
interesting throughout. Many thought
it was only some musty trophies and
arms, and are astonished at the beau
ty magnitude and variety of the exhib-
it in embroidery, carving, Jewel mount
ing and the ingenuity of the Filipino
and Hndoo women. The photographs
of natives, their weapons, the cap
tured battle flags, cannon, ETC., have
peculiar interest at this time. Open

POLITICIANS IN A DUEL.

Have Street Fight.

DOminick O'Malley and c. H. Parker
Have Street Fight.
A dispatch from New Orleans, La, yes
terday says: One Of the most sensational
duels ever fought in New Orleans took
place this afternoon, when C. Harrison
Parker. tax collector Of the first district OF
this parish, met Dominick c. OMalley
editor of local paper, and opened fire on
him. Both men fought to the finish, emp
tying their pistols at fairly close range.
When the shooting was over 1t was found
that Parker had been struck twice, once in
the right shoulder and once between the
third ard fourth ribs on the right side.
O'Malley was shot in the left side just over
the hip, the bullet ranging downward and
lodging in the right groin.
Frederick ROhrbacher, q newsboy, who
got in range of O'Malley's fire. was shot
twice, one bullet grazing his forhead and
another lodging in his right heel.
The shooting took place in Camp street,
just In front of Newspaper row.
The cause Of the shooting was cartoon

office. Parker was talking to General e.

he saw O'Malley. and started across the
street toward him. The men were only a
few PAGES apart when Parker drew his
pistol and fired.
O'Malley followed suit instantly. dodg-

So Parker stood in the open street and
fired three shots at O'Maliey. calling to
him to come out from behind the pole. In
the meantime O'Malley fired hts last cart

fore he could get behind cover. Parker was
partially disabled by OMalleyAE shot, which
went through his right shoulder.
Parker is one of the most prominent poll
tcians in the state He was the leader in
the anti-1ottery campaign soae years ago,
and is well known all over the south. Both

DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE.

Baden-Powell is pluckiy holding his ex-
posed position. AS the generals have de.
cided not to attempt to hold the country
north Of Dundee, the Beers will doubtless
occupy Laing's Neck and advance along
the railway toward Glencoe and Dundee.
These places, however, are considered quite
safe against Boer attack.
The Daily Chronicle this morning edi-
torially says 1t is compelled to admit that
the Boer ultfmatum. unhappily worded as
1t Is, makes war unavoidable.
Editorial articles in other papers gener-
ally express pity for President Kruger's
precipitancy, which places the Transvaai
technically in the wrong.

worst enemies could hardly have supposed
that its arrogance would lead it to such ex-
travagance. The note is written in a style
which would be offensive if it came from
a frSt-rate power, and is inconceivably
ridiculous as emanating from a trumpery
little state which exists only by Great Brit
aims forebearance."
The Daily Mail says: 1.-The Beers have
DOTTED the mask and declared war, which
their deiuded supporters in England had
considered SO impossible. Doubtless at
first We may suffer, but we suffered before,
and in the end the Beers and their support
ers will receive the punishment which their
insane attempt to perpetuate on an almost
barbaric system their government In the
nineteenth century most thoroughly de-
serves"
