Remarkable Politics.

The Lawrence journal takes the
following rather severe fall out OF the
statesmen At Topeka:
That distinguished patriot, Mr..
Morton Albaugh, whose unselfish at
tachment to the Republican party is
suggestive of-but let that pass
published q list Of sixty.three Repub-
iicsn members elect Of the house Of
representatives as pledged TO the sup
port OF Mr.. Pringle for speaker.
Some Of the gentlemen named
promptly denied the allegation,
whereupon Mr.. Albaugh acknowledged
that be had been lying about the mat
ter, knowing that he had misrepre-
ssnted the facts, and explaining bis
disreputable course by saying that be
"wanted to smoke these gentlemen
out" This Is the kind Of politics
that is regarded as "statesmanship''
in Copeland county. Mr.. Albaugh is
probably the smartest political leader
Kansas ever had; be says so himself,
and bis friends back him up In 1t, so
the other people Of the state must Of
necessity concede the alleged fact
But the Journal will go right on
absolutely refusing to believe that
this move on the part Of Mr.. Morton
Albaugh was smart-or that it was
or is remarkable for its honesty.
1t seems strange that the Republi.
can members Of the house are thought
by Gov Stanley, Mr.. Bailey or the
Leland crowd to need guardian to
pick out speaker for them. If they
have the nerve Of a chicken they will
kick all the candidates selected for
them out Of the caucus and choose a
new man.

nALAYAN TRAITS.
They Are Entirely Knotioaisss and
Very Peculiar.

The Malay race Is impasslve, re-
served and even bashful, 20 that, until
one knows the race better, one can
scarcely credit bis blood-thlrsty repu-
tation, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Malay is entirely undemonstrat-
i've. If he has any feelings Of surprise
he never shows them. Perhaps he ex-
periences none, no matter how won
derful the sight which meets his gaze.
He Is slow and deliberate In speech,
and cirumlOcutory in introducing q
subject to be discussed. Even the
children and women are timid, ana
scream at the sight Of European,
while in the presence Of the men they
are silent and taciturn.
Even when alone the Malay neither
talks nor sings, in this respect differ-
ing much from the Papuan, who has
all the negro traits of chattering ana
singing to himself for company. Over
nay a Malay for some trihe and his
countenance betrays no sign Of emo
ton; Papuan will be grave for mo-
ment out Of perfect establishment at
the mistake made, and then burst into
peals Of grinning laughter, while be
bends in two, and finally rolls on the
ground in ecstasles Of merriment. The
Malays, when In company In q canoe,
chant q plantive, monotonous song; at
other times they are silent.
The Malay Is cautious Of giving OF
Tense to any one, and accordingly will
hesitate to quarrel about money mat
terA and rather abandon just debt
due to him than run the risk Of . feud
with his equals. In bis ordinary life
he is as impressive As the typical Scot
and a. fond Of the nil admirari line OF
conduct as the American Indian,
though, unlike him, the Malay does
not dissemble his feelings Or play q
part. He has really little, II any, ap'
probation Of humor and does not un-
derstand a practical jest
10 all breaches Of etiquette be 10
very sensitive and equally Jealous Of
any interference with bis own or any
one elsss liberty. To such an extent
does he carry this idea that . Malay
servant will hesitate to wakan an
other, even his own master, though
told to do so. The higher classes are
exceedingly polite, possessing all the
repose and quiet dignity Of the best
bred Europeans. There ID, however,
another side to the character Of the
Malay. He Is reckless, cruel and care
less Of human life, possesses but poor
intellect and has neither taste for
knowledge nor any indigenous civili-
cation.

CURES RHEUMATISM.
The Only Medicine that Prevents

Rheumatism, which does its terrible

is caused by uric acid which gathers
in the blood. To get rid of this
poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inAamm ma

matism, Paine's Celery Compound
should be used without delay. No
other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering and happy results. 1t is the
only medicine that prevents a return
Of the dreaded disease. Paine's Cel-
cry Compound braces the nerves,
the blood is quickly cleared Of all
irritating poiaons, tissues and muscles
are built up, and the digestive organs
perfectly toned. Do not treat with
indifference the slightest rheumatic
symptoms; the early use Of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks
and months Of suffering. Mr.. S. D.

Schley's Rare Experience.

Admlral ocnley, WIN WIS eh'or :
tanned at Kansas City yesterday, had
a rare experience in his initiation
into Masonry. The Washington Post
tells Of 1t thus: The departure OF
Admiral Schley for the South and
West and the preparations made for
bis enthusiastic reception caused a
prominent Mason to relate an inter-
esting story in connection with Al.
miral Schley's initiation into a Ma
sonic fraternity. 1t will be remem.
bered that Admiral Schley was made
a Mason one night, Immediately prior
to his departure to assume command
OF the South Atlantic squadron. All
arrangements had been made for the
initiation Of the admiral, but, accord
ing to the rules Of the Masonic organ.
ization, o ballot was to be taken be-
fore he could be initiated.
While the admiral was waiting in
an ante.room to have the degree con-
ierred upon him the balloting was in
progress. By some means the grand
master who was presiding, became
convinced that at least two
black balls had been cast against
Admiral Schley. 1t was when the
discussion over the victory at Santiago
was raging most iuriously, and there
was reason to believe the black balls
had been thrown by men prejudiced
against Admiral Schley because o
this controversy, and who we're posi-
bly, inspired with desire to humiliate
him, as would certainly have been
the case had it gone out to the coun.
try that Admiral Schley had been
blackballed when about to join the
Masons.
1t was felt at the time that the con-
sequences Of such an action would be
intensely disagreeable, not only to
Admiral Schley and his friends, but
to the Masonic fraterity, and espe-
clally to the lodge Of which he was
to become a member. The grand
master was equal to the occasion
and, rising to his feet, he stopped the
balloting and called out: admit
Brother Schley." 1t was an exercise
Of supreme power, such as has not
been witnessed in Masonic circles In
this city within the memory Of the
present generation Of Masons, and Of
which there are but few records In
the annals Of Masopryin this country,
for by those words the grand mas
ter had made Admiral Schley q
full Mason, without the necessity Of
bis taking the degrees. Masonry 3D.
mits the supreme authority, and the
word Of the grand master was
absolute. Admiral Schley subse.
'qusntly took the degrees, but 1t is
held be WAS under no obligation to do

Admiral Sampson was an authority
on an naval matters. His theory about

who was more dOmosticated. He loved
his family and was never happier than
when in their company. A great stu

great problem and turning it over in
his mind. He was a man of absolute
importurbation, While in one sense
an iron man. he was just and kind"
