SINCE everybody has been talking
Funston 1t seems that this great jour
nal must say something or be consid-
cred out Of joint with the time. II we
are to say anything about the man
Funston it would be that he is an
enigma, He is as cloudy PROPOSE
tion as a chunk of mud. The writer
Of these limping lines has never seen
the hero lie has no especial desire to
see him. He Is no relation Of ours,
and we have no desire to claim him as
such. We have talked with some men
however who were school mates with
him and some whom we know to be
truthful. From them we learn that in
college he was no Indifferent student,
for such a student is sometimes COM
PEELED to get his lessons, Funston was
never known to be prepared to reclte.
From them too we have learned that
he was sulky, uncompanionable and
the butt of all sorts Of jokes and tricks
by his fellow students. From other In
telligent soldiers who were with him
in the Philippines we have been told
that he showed no real capacity within
their observation and the only notca-
BILE thing in his composition was his

of the capture of Ayuinaldo. We are

or else he is one Of those deep, unfath-
omable geninses with whom the world
never becomes acquainted except by
their deeds. The prospects seem good
for his very rapid promotion, and it is
quite possible that he may yet attain
the highest Office in the army. Should
he do so and ever be put to the ex-
treme test he will either 90 all to
pieces and prove the worst failure that
ever attained such position, or he will
show uncommon genius. Whatever he

The News In It's write up Of the city

Of the republicans to the democrats

half dozen democrats and populists
we're able to hex a couple of thousand

THERE was a stormy scene In the
city council chamber at Kansas City.
Kansas a few nights ago, The council
seemed bent on granting valuable
franchises to the street railway COM
panies without consideration or with
small consideration and the citizens
poured In with hemp and took such an
active part In the proceedings that the
city fathers Immediately passed q mo-
tion to the effect that the old council
should take no action on the matter.
OF course that leaves 1t open for the
new council and the same scenes may
be repeated, This incident and many
other similar ones all the while oc-
curing lead to few remarks. In the
first place there are very few II any
functions to be performed by compan-
les of q nature such 40 to require the
granting Of a franchise but what should
be carried on by the city itself, But
the most pressing practical and i'm
mediate need, especially in this State
is the passage of law limiting the
time for which contract may be made
by council to bind city. The courts
have held that one council may make
contracts that will hold through the
term Of another. The length Of time
they may be made for and bind the city
is an open question and the companies
so interested are claiming the council
may make contract that will bind
city forever, Along with the limiting
Of the time for such contracts there
should be q provision Il at no long
time contract or the granting Of any
valuable franchise should be valid with
out the ratification Of the people by
vote.

The Parish Priest.

Those who were present last night at
the Park opera house say that the Par
ish Priest was one OF the most enjoyable
plays OF the season.
Danl Sully was never seen to 30 much
advantage as he was in this piece. He
played for SO many years in the play
"The Corner Grocery" and other light
comedy, that there were those who had
seen him in some OF his old plays who
did not anticipate that he could rise to
the requirements OF a piece requiring the
versatility OF The Parish Priest.
But it is generally agreed by those who
sawMr.Sully last night that he has piece
now in which to star, which entirely fits
his make up Besides Mr.. Sully's most
perfect acting, he has surrounded him
self with a company, every one Of whom
is an artist.
The play last night is praised by every
one who saw it and Manager Haskell is
receiving congratulations today over the
excellence OF the attraction which he
presented.
