Ottawa. Kan, Aug. THE city council

intoxicants. The proposition has created

A German writer says: Ut is impossible to understand Greek and Roman his tory without a Knowledge of Sicilian history" Goethe wrote Sicily is the key to all" and Goethe studied it's his- tory on the spot.
 Sicily, that Pearl of the Mediterra- nean,' until recently was known to the average English-speaking traveller as the land of earthquakes, volcanoes and brigands. It was thought to be safe to visit Palermo and Messina, but to penetrate into the interior was be- lieved to be foolhardy and dangerous. To-day it is as safe as to visit Niagara. It is surprising that until recent years so little had been published in English regarding Sicilian epoch-making events from prehistoric down to Garibaldi's time, whose name is revered in Italy as warmly as Lincolns is with us. An old Sicilian, who fought with Garibaldi for the overthrow of the miserable Bourbon dynasty, said with great en- phasis that Lincoln and Garibaldi were the two greatest benefactors of the peo- pie that ever lived. A street in Pal ermo has been named after Lincoln, and all the towns in Italy have a Via

Men are inclined to marvel at the scarcity of suicides among members of the negro race" said an observant man, but when you come to think of it there is. nothing strange about the matter. The. negro is a happy -go-lucky sort of a creature. He Is not as quick to feel the bricks of pride as the white man and iife's little reverses do mot affect him in the same way. But lately the irl- crease in suicides among the negroes has been a matter of serious comment. The observation has been made that 8 few years ago a negro suicide was url- known The negro simply lived out his natural span frl a natural sort of way. Suicide is a departure due to the abnor-, nal and superficial conditions which environ the individual The negro lives awfully close to nature. Such depar- lures as he may make are due to his irnitativeness, and they are often gro- tesque and extrayagant. Living natu

Mainly the scarcity of suicides among negroes is due to this love of nature and this natural way of doing things. 4lL iIlsty llUI D6 ilirtElb bo lCAlstt h HI HAio connection the absence of anything ap- preaching pessimism in the philosophy of the black man and an unfaltering devotion to religion of some sort.

So, after all, there is nothing particularly strange about the fact that the negro does not take kindly to the suicidal im- pulse.

by creditor. A member of the house was paid $1.000 and a senator $SO9 for their votes and influence in behalf of the garnishment law. Other evidence just secured shows that s1o. 900 was used at the recent session by parties who had bought county warrants that needed le- galizing. The law wanted by the war rant brokers was passed. They got the warrants at a. heavy discount, and could be liberal with the poodle. .. These crimes were committed by the legislature that met after the beginning of the present year, which illustrates the audarity of the state machine in the face of the poodle revelations reach ing back to 1901. The necessary eonclu- sion from what has been learned is that, unless brided, the majority in Missouri legislatures would no nothing outside of unavoidable routine. So much legisla- ton for so much poodle has been the rule, and not one occupant of high state office at Jefferson City has said a word calculating to expose the reeking system of venality. Those officials have enlarged upon how gloriously Missouri Missouri is governed and how slander- ous of the state all persons are who dare charge that the legislature of the state is bought and sold. How far state off, cials are implicated is g. subject now taking the form of sworn testimony, and the people are deeply interested in the details.

The trusts have bought favors right and left from lawmaking bodies in Missouri.

It seems that even the garnishment of law relating to wage-workers, which has just gone into effect, was boodled through.

CLEVELAND AT ST. LOUIS.
The Surprise He Sprang on the News !: paper Men.


 The Surprise He sprang on the News paper Men.
 If there is doubt in the mind of any one as to whether Cleveland would &C., cept the nomination if offered he has only to talk to some reliable person who was present at the banquet given to the visiting newspaper men at the dedica- tion of the Louisiana Purchase exposi- tion at St. Louis last month. Very little has been published about that unique feast, which seems to have been lost sight of in the rush of the more important ceremonies and little or nothing of the speeches made got Into print, chiefly because hisy were made at such an early hour-in the morning. But, judging from all accounts, it was feast of reason and a flow of soul indeed, and the man who unbent the most and went further in the effort to lend himself to the spirit of the occa- sion was none other than ex-President Cleveland.
 Grover Cleveland in a jolly, reckless mood on public occasion is indeed a rare sight--and the banqueters at St. Louis enjoyed the novelty to the ut most. He "joshed" "the boys'' with an ease and freedom entirely foreign to his general habit and shook his fat sides with laughter when he was "joshed" in return. He made a witty, rambling speech in which he told of many amus- ing incidents in his long political career. during which the reporters have been the thorns in his flesh. and admitted that it had required great many years for him to appreciate and admire them as a class, but over and over again MT. Cleveland assured the newspaper men

than he had at = learned to appreei- ate and admire. indeed, he did not actually love then. He told stories of how they had hurig about him in droves night and day "fh the good, old sum- mer time'' of JuTte, 1886. when he was married to Misss Frances Folsom, of Buffalo. and refArred spontaneously to other interesting episodes of his life since he was draeged from obseurity to become the refotm mayor Of Buffalo and before, during and after his speech made himself so entirely agreeable that when he sat down he was hailed with a hearty outburst of song under the ti-, tie of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" More than once during his speech and in the cross-fire of repartee the matter of MT. Cleveland's candidacy for third term was mentioned. and not once did he rebuke it. On the other hand, he appeared to be immensely pleased. and all the way through acted like man who was happy atShaving taken advan- tage of fine opportunity to manufac- tIlre little popularity for himself uIl- der very favorable circumstances. Af- ter the formal speech making was over and just before the party broke up, the. ex-president in chatting with one of the Washington men, whom he had known for years, placed an arm about his neck and grew almost sentimental in refer ring to the past-and to the future as we'll, perhaps. When the Washington man was asked later whether he thought there was special significance in MT. Cleveland's burst of good fellow ship and familiarity he replied; Well. he was never that way in Washington: he never put his arm around my neck before. ."-Washington Letter to Provi- dence Journal.
