While the appearance of the bull
fight in France has been instanced
as a sign of the degeneracy of the
nation, it may be that the establish
ment just outside of Paris of a per-
manent arena for the practice of the
pastime is merely to furnish excite
ment for the populace during the
intervals of trials of conspirators,
plotters and similar diversions.
Sentence of death in Kansas has
always meant life Imprisonment, be-
cause as yet no Governor of the
State has eve signed the death war
rant, but now Taylor Cook, who has
been convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to be hanged, wants the
sentence executed He says death is
preferable to imprisonment for life.
It is insisted that young Cornelius
by his fathers will, sail on account
of his mother" who has not yet for
given him for marrying in opposition

spoiled plans laid by her good-na-
tured husband to reunite the family.

Edward M. Shepard, leader of the
Independent Democratic faction in

made it impossible for the regular
organization there to be successful,
has, like Richard Croker, declared
his admiration for William Jennings
Bryan. He spoke before a Brooklyn
club Tuesday night, and said, among
other things, that as between Nc
Kinley and Bryan on the existing
issues no honest Democrat could
fail to give his allegiance to the
Nebraskan.
The public school teachers of Liv-
ington, Montana, most of them wo-
men, have been served with an order
by the City Board of Health forbid
ding them to kiss their pupils. The
order was not promulgated until
after the schools had opened for the
term, and all the pupils had been
kissed, but as yet no epidemic of any
contagious disease is reported
Meanwhile some wicked men in
Butte City, not far from Livingston
have started a mo moustache' club
Sufficient light to distinguish
clearly the brand of harmony pre-
va1ling in Republican circles in Ohio
is shown by Governor BushnelIs
refusal to attend the opening of the
campaign at Akron yesterday, anG
his intention of boiling the Nasl
ticket. Judge Nash refused to hole
an appointive Office under Governor
Bushnell last year for the reason

ernor had opposed Mr.. Hanna's
Senatorial candidacy. There is
nothing to wonder at, on the whole
in the story that President Nc
Kinley will probably make a few
speeches rs he passes through Ohio
on his way to or from Chicago.

needless dissertation of church pro
perty by American soldiers III the
Philippines, we have no doubt thai
the War Department will promptly
take measures to prevent its recur

the ofense. We have great doubt
however, that this charge can rightly
be sustained against our troops. II
is quite likely that in the recent
operations against the insurgents
some of the churches have beer
utilized for military purposes, anc
this may involve a certain measure
of apparent d~isrespect. that a re
weren't mind would regard as desc
Grafton. That it was Intentional O
conscious ~dlsrespect we do not be
lieve. Such a thing would be un
likely among American soldiers O
under the command of American
officers
