NEW KANSAS BOOK.
Nelson Case Writes of European Con-
stitutional History.


A valuable addition to the constantly
increasing number of Kansas literary
classics is new volume of European
Constitutional history by Nelson Case
of Oswego. Mr.. Case is one of the most
brilliant lawyers in Kansas and ample
evidence of his wide and accurate
knowledge of jurisprudence is given in
his recent work The book is a concise,
but complete history of the origin and
development of the government forms
of modern European nations since the
fall of the western Roman empire.
Only such historical events are included
as are necessary to show the develop
ment of political affairs of each nation
and their result in the form of govern
ments which existed at the close of the
nineteenth century. But in spite of the
necessary omission of much historical
detail the book offers very general
view of European political history and
is a comprehensive and exhaustive
study of the constitutional development
of each separate nation. The book is
sufficiently clear and simple in express
sion and the matter sufficiently con-
densed to make it invaluable as a text
book but it is also excellent reading and
will find a welcome in the libraries OF
the discerning. It's author is the master
of a style OF enviable lucidity, brevity
and compactness. Not much of the
readers time is wasted with empty
historic or literary gymnastics but there
is distinct pleasure in reading such
vigorous. virile, unaffected English and
rejecting that it is the work of Kan
sas man. Kansas has until recently been
SO occupied with the problem of mere
existence that the arts have not exactly
fourisbed within her borders but there
has lately been considerable worthy eff
fort in that line and the Nelson Case
history is one of the most notable OF
our native productions.
Mr.. Case is member of the law firm
of Case & Flannelly of Oswego. He was
former judge of his district, position
now held by his partner, Tom F1annely.
and is one of the best known lawyers
in the state.

Here is story told of former President
Rutherford B. Hayes and Newspaper
man who twenty years ago Was well
known in New York.
Shortly after his term had expired
President Hayes came to New York to
attend q reception given in his hou0r.
The newspaper. man referred to was sent
up to thes hotel where the ex-presisient
was stopping to interview him. Much to
his surprise the ex-president received
the reporter in his sitting room and told
him, in an affab1e way, that he was ready
to answer any question put him. The
interview covered many TOPICS the re-
porter asked various questions, but the
Tilden-Hayes controversy was not touch
ed upon Finally. the interview was con-
cluded and Mr.. Hayes was conerafulating
himself that he had come out of the
deal so successfully, for the reporter had
not asked one impertinent question.
As the reporter got up from his seat to
leave the ex-president rose from his
and walked with him to the door, where
in his most suave tones he babe the
scribe. adieu- A few. moments later Mr..
Hayes was surprised to see an atten-
dant of the hotel come into the room and
present the card Of the reporter from
whom he had just taken leave. There
must be some mistake" he said -sShow

ed and in his most apologize manner
asked Mr.. Hayes to excuse his second
intrusion.

president
"Mr Hayes" said the reporter, st for

of. Do you mind telling me ?''
Certainly not replied the president.

The reporter, who really was ignorant
of the exalted position occupied by the
man he had just interviewed, was shock
ed to say the least He apologized for
his ignorance and the two afterwards
became good friends

A turbulence, and hysterical curiosity
about lords and duchesses. and kings
and a social splendor which the vulgar
mind supposes such outworn pomposi-
ties to radiate, has seized our literature
within the last few years. Concomitants
of a pseudo royal, feudal or colonial
conditions, blare of horns and beat
ing of drums-we have had but little
else in our poetry and readable essays,
novels and intelligent history. And in
our vision, beyond jousts, duels and
battlefields, we have had almost naught
save the panoplies of strenuous knights,
and the fshwife attitudes of ladies'
upon whose velvet trains the unclouded
eye saw the same little devils of pride
and grossness which a French poet sew
eral hundred years since discerned upon
such garments.
Along with this great hurrah and can
nonading for knights and kings there
has also been an exploiting of trumpet
ing of self. The one who could shout
the loudest about himself, or pay others
for shouting, has commonly been es-
teemed the best man. 1t has been a
season of reclame-a proclamation of
literary, individual and social, falsities.
And in tile hurry burly of it we
stopped and held our ears, and shut out
the ODITuSlFe advertisement from our
eyes, we recalled that it was not always
so. That it was not this Life of Mat
thew Arnold is the readiest evidence.
Not many years since Matthew Arnold
died, and not many years since he was
an ascendant and dominating spirit in
our literature. And how different it
then wasi There were ideas then Back
of literary production there was real
thought; genuine knowledge; prolonged
study and communion with the best.
Then were taste, literary art, merito-
rious criticism.
