AN EMPRESS APHORIsMS.
Sayings of the Assassinatcd Eliza
beth of Austria.


Vienna Letter in London Standard.
The diary of DR.. Constantm Chrituo-
manos, one of the Greek tutors of the late
Empress Elizabeth is published here to-
day. The book is chiefly interesting for
the sake of the aphorisms of which her
majesty was fond. Among those which
the author reproduces are the following:
Il do not believe in medicine, and at best
would tolerate homeopathy because men
like TO be deceived, and small doses do less
harm" After a conversation with the
Emperor, in Hungarian, of which the tutor
only caught the names of several states
men and politicians, the Empress said:
Il have just been talking politics with the
Emperor. l wish 1 could help him, but l
am better at Greek. l have no respect for
politics, and do not consider them worthy
of interest. They are nothing but self
deception. Politicians are under the i'm
preston that they lead, but they are mere
ly carried along by events which invaria
bly, take them by surprise Each cabinet
has in 1t. az It's birth. the seeds of its own
fall and its successor shares the same
fate. All that happens, happens of itself,
because it must-because it is ripe, and
statesmen can only record the facts"
on another occasion the Empress said:
Women cannot help their husbands in
their business, and Should not suggest
ideas or give advice. But by their pres
ence, they should awake mems thoughts
or assist their ripening. Man must not be
led by woman. One asks why wives be-
come unfaithful. Simply because 1t is
their duty to be faithful. Most girls mar
ry only TO be free and and love has wings
for flying away also. If one cannot be
happy in ones own way, one can still love
ones pain An Empress is loved chiefly
because one can be somebody for her sake.
To the Couutesses in Waiting l have al
ways TO say something to which they can
reply, for that is their duty. 1t is the
greatest terror of Kings that they must
always be inquiring. l have stored away
a long list of questions in case of need.
l have already lost many friends without
winning one. Many of them went to death
for me. while others would rather have
murdered me"
"Once, on board the yacht Miramare
her Majesty observed a goat and said:
"She is making the voyage without any
enthusiasm, but only from sense of duty
because she is English" mo one can in
fueuce me" For good or evil, / act
upon my inner consciousness. and leave

One College Fares Badly.

Topeka, Kans., March S.-One
educational institution that has Jared
very shabbily at the hands of the
present Legislature is the state agri
cultural college at Manhattan. The
legislature reduced almost half the
estimates made by the regents of
what the institution would require,
only allowing about $4,000, where
as $212, 900 was asked, This discrim-
ination is made more glaring by the
fact that the state university gets
something over $500, 900.
One new $25 900 building, agri.
cultural department., was allowed. A
$4,000 building WAS asked for. The
presidents residence, destroyed by
fire, will not be rebuilt. The sum ol
$4,000 was allowed for the enlarge
ment of shops. The senate originally
cut the demand $4,000 then the
house took off $26, 900. On confer
ence reports the house yielded So, 500
the senate, $17, 400.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE RAISES
STATE LEVY TO I.7 nlLLS.
HAS Spent $500. 900 Mere Than Any pre-

rom the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
Topeka, Kan.-Four months ago
the voters of Kansas turned down the
best and most economical admins
tration the state ever had and elected
business administration" Today,
after being in Office just fifty-three
days "business" was doled in an alIo-
pathic dose. The levy for state pur-
poses was increased from AZ mills to
81 mills, or increasing the burden of
taxes almost 81, SOC, 900. AS soon as
the magnitude of this stroke of busi-
ness enterprise permeates, the peo-
pie will rise up and tell how they
like it.
The legislature now in session has
spent more Of the peoples money by
$500 900 than any previous session
in the state s history. The republi-
can majority has been squandering
money during the past few days with
the lavish hand of a man with a for
tune to burn, and the fusion minority
has been helpless to stop the waste.
The republicans went on the theory
that prosperity having arrived ever.
thing should go, and it went.
The house today figured out OF
necessity, that the present levy of
4 2-l0 mills would be inadequate to
meet the heavy expenditures during
the biennial period beginning July l.
1t was therefore raised to 5 mills.
This was messaged to the senate.
When the senatorial mathematicians
got to work they found that 5-mill
levy would yield only So, 100000 on
an estimate. 1t will be necessary to
raise this almost a million, so the
levy for 1900 was increased to 81
mills, and for 1901 to 81 mills. The
estimates are based on an assessed
valuation of $355, 900 900.
This shameless record is made more
glaring by a comparison with the
populist record of two years ago.
When they went into power in 1897
the levy for state purposes was 10
mills. By strict economy it was
found the levy could be cut to 40
mills, and the reduction was made.

following with reference to the grasp

All monopolies or attempted mo-

they are coming, but tend to stifie it
after they come, and the throng OF
combinations and trusts which have
been formed or proposed have given a
temporary but very questionable i'm

The Kansas City Times, the lead

experience of the antitrust bill in

the republican managers are relied
upon to whip the republican majority
into line aS return for aid to the

is, of course, absurd to expect house
that is republican by a majority of
90 to 33 to enact any legislation hos
tile to the corporations, but the
fusionists will succeed, at least, in
placing the republicans on record and
adding another to the already long
list Of indictments against the party
of the trusts. The bill as it stands,
is intended only to prohibit any COM
bination, agreement or trust which
mGy stand as a barrier to full and
free competition in the buying and
selling of cattle at the stock yards.
