The Washington Post recently con-
tanned this thrilling news item:
Representative Cooper of Texas was
caught in the senate chamber yesterday
when an executive session had begun. He
took promptly to his heels. but found door
after door securely fastened. Finally,
after he had furnished senators no little
ri erriment way out was found, and the
Texan betook himself to his own end Of
the capitol
No doubt a great many persons who
read that laughed at Mr.. Cooper's pre-
dicament. but the secret sessions of the
senate have long since ceased to be
subjects for mirth. They arouse feel
ing of disgust. That sensible men
should enact week after week the pitt
full farce of going into secret session
for the purpose of considering the NOM
ilation of some man to be postmaster
at $1,000 per annum is preposterous
and furnishes another illustration of
the Wis inertiae of the human mind.
Mr.. Cooper is fine man, a prominent
member Of the house ways and means
committee. Yet here he, was skinning
around the walls like rat in a trap

regard for their reputation for brains
as they had for senatorial tradition
there would have been no occasion for
Cooper ito take to his heels" Self re-
spect ought to cause the senators to
abolish secret sessions except in those
rare cases where matters Of gravest in
ternational import are to be discussed,

secret sessions, so called, are not secret

The ingalls, Statue.

The browning honor which the people
of any state can pay to one Of its citi-
zens is to place his etfigy in StatuaIy
hall, the great American Ealhalla. Yet.
sad to say there are perhaps more in
artistic statues therein than were ever
congregated anywhere else. 1t is said
that one of the best, most lifelike, is
that of the late Senator John James
ingalls, Of Kansas. 1t is an open secret
that one reason of it's excellence is that
the senator's son Ralph, who much re-
sembles bis illustrious father in stature
build. ETC., posed for the statue, dressed
in suit of his fathers clothes, includ-
ing even the overcoat. This was GER
tainly happy thought on the part of
the artist, and he has his ample re-
ward in the universal and unstinted
praise which his work has ELECTED.

Versus the Ocfopus,

Kansas is talking of starting an oil
refinery of her own to buck the Stand
ard What John D. Rockefeller ct
id genus omne will think of that this
deponent saith not, because he know
eth not, being in no way authorized to
speak for the kerosene magnates. But
if Kansas can do as well with her Oil
refinery as she has done with her
binder twine factory she is to be both
congratulated and encouraged in her
undertaking. She proposes as a start
er to appropriate $4,000 for her new
enterprise. Agents of the Standard
turn up their scornful noses and de-
clare that that is not a drop in the
bucket Perhaps not. but Kansas is a
great, rich commonwealth, much in the
habit of doing as she pleases. If she
has set her head and, heart on an oil
refinery of her own the chances are
that she will achieve it, even If she
has to appropriate $50,0O0,OOo instead
Of a paltry $4,000. 1t will be remem-
bered that fun was peked at her when
she began to make arrangements to
manufacture her own binding Irvine,
but she pursued the even tenor of her
way and, despite prophecies of utter
failure. made a bowling success Of the
venture, SO much so, indeed, that
Missouri and Minnesota have both fol-
lowed her example and are now engag-
ed In making their own Irvine. By SO
doing Kansas reduced the price Of
twine to Kansas consumers some or
B cents on the pound. If she can &C
complish that result with binder Irvine,
why may she not do the same Or even
better with oil? 'Others, seeing her
good works. may go and do likewise.
1t would be strange and exhilarating
performance if Kansas should prove to
be the David of the Standard Goliath.
OF course the Standard will use all
means. fair and foul, to strangle the
Kansas refinery in it's infancy. for if
Kansas should demonstrate that she
can succeed in such an undertaking
other states VIII follow suit and go into
the octopus smashing business, which
might render it quite lively for Mr..

TIE Washington Star thus comments
on the treasury situation:
The treasury receipts and expenditures
for the seven months of the fiscal year
ended today show total receipts of s321,-
06O, 13S and expenditures of $349, $50 445, max
ing a deficit of S28;596, 307 for the year so
far. At the same time in the last fiscal
year the total receipts were $319, AZ, S43 and
the expenditures ss17. 1851. 6os, a surplus of
S574234.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the Off
Gals of the treasury that from now on
the treasury will make a better showing
and that the receipts will probably exceed
the expenditures the remainder Of the
year by at least 100000, which would
make the deficit for the year close to the
estimate of Secretary Shaw-s1S, 10000
For the month closed today the total re-
ceipts were $43, 2a and the expenditures
SIS, 627, 900, making deficit for the month
of $6,216714. For the same month of the
last fiscal year the total receipts were
$41. 5SS379 and the expenditures s4s. ,00o
