The Innocence of Kansas.

Though overruled by the Navy Depart
ment and aggregated alcohol, Governor
HocH OF Kansas continues to lament
that bottle Of champagne is to be
broken over the bow or PROV of the
battleship Kansas. Forsaking water for
a moment, he asks:
why wouldn't white dove be . good thing TO
out when each ship u launched, siEnifying our
desire for peacef-
We leave with the Bureau Of Naval
Intelligence this pacific and symbolic
proposal, more fully described by the
Governor as "a dove and some water
on the side
Look at the Kentucky, says this eager
Dry. She was christened with water,
yet nothing has happened to her. All,
yes; but think Of the feelings Of Ken
lucky. Think how many q cup Of the
Kentucky wine has paid the penalty Of
this insolence!
Editor MASON Of Mound City has given
the Governor a bottle OF water from
JOHN Browns old spring; also petit
ton signed by more than hundred citi-
zens Of Linn county asking that this
water be used, with beneficial results,
on the Kansas.
Now with downcast eyes and cha
stoned hearts look upon the inimitable
innocence OF the SunAower land:
Miss ANNA HocH. tho sponsor. who win crack
tho bottle at the christening. wouldn't know d
bottle Of champagne II she met II In the road. un.
less II was labeled. She has never seen bottle OF
champagne In her life. There Is no place around
tho Hoch homo for liquor OF any kind. A discus.
sion this point led TO the observation that prob.
ably there was never a bottle OF champagne In
Marion. the home Of Governor HocH. Marion Is
Q town Of 1000 people. 1t has never been bothered
with joints. and drug stores are careful In selling
liquor. Bootlcsgers and jug trade through
express companies are tho principal ways the
drinkers there get their supply. and booueggers
don't carry champagne. Their only article usually
Is white mule. Quite number Of Marion peo
pie buy four full quarts for 1870. with corkscrew
twelve glasses and bottle OF wine thrown In from
mail order houses, but they never buy champagne
at home. There Is not child OF school age In
Marion who was ever In an open saloon. The
people make a boast of tina, fact. While Marion Is
q stronger temperance town than most others, II
Is estimated .ha'. taking the State over 90 per cent.
of the children never saw the inside OF saloon or
Joint 1t was on account of this condition tina, tho
Governor had hoped that something else besides
liquor would be used In christening the Kansas
but he has hoped In vain"
In view of all the facts, the Navy De-
partment should consent to a compro-
mise. If the dove with water on the side
is out of the question, at least champagne
might be replaced by white mule

The difference between profit on invest
ment and profit on product finds clear
illustration in recent reports on the gold
mining industry Of South Africa The value
Of the gold extracted during the current
calendar year will probably be not far from
800, 900. oc1 During the first six months Of
this year dividends to the amount Of
S25. 900 900 were declared and paid. 1t is
expected that like and perhaps even larger
dividends will be paid during the remain
ing six months. The dividend on output
therefore will be in excess Of so per cent
Of it's market value. The dividends paid
during 1904 were approximately $4s, 900 900
on an output of value of SIS, O0o, 900.
From the statistics given by the Trans
vaal Government mining engineer In his
report for the six months ended Dec.
81, 1904, 1t appears that there are 2s7 gold
mining companies in the Transvaal. Their
capital is given as es4 sos, 1852. Only about
IL per cent. OF the number were dividend
payers. As some OF these companies are
paying their stockholders from 10 per cont
to $50 per cent. per annum, 1t is evident
that large amount Of money must have
been spent in digging Improbable holes
In the soil Of the Transvaal.

The announcement In the dispatches In this

doubt for this reason that this distnction-an

nixed In the North and East as so thoro ghly rep.

Baseball.

The opening of the baseball season
in Donaldsonville last Sunday was
marred by a drilling rain which set
in about noon and continued off and
on throughout the afternoon. In spite
OF the bad weather a good crowd was
IN attendan to witness the game
which was between the Plaquemine
High School Team and the Pelicans,
The Plaqnemine boys were the first up
and By q couple of errors were enabled
10 chalk up three runs. The locals
tied the score in the second inning and
doubled it with one to spare in the
sixth. The Persimmonville aggrega-
ton added three more in their seventh
and the Birds went them four better
in the eighth and this ended thesrun-
getting on both sides.
Tomorrow the PeIieans will tie-up
with the crack Jefferson College team
and a good game may be expected.
The Jeffersons recently defeated the
Lutcher professionals and gave
Louisiana Varsity team close fight,
and are coming to Donaldsonville
with the aVoWed intention Of wiping
up The ground with their old-time
rivals, even bringing their band and
the entire cadet corps along to help
them do it. The locals have been
putting in some hard practice during
the week and expect to put up much
better game than they did last Sunday.
