The Kansas City Journal resents the
frequent comment in Eastern papers
that the Republicans of Kansas slump
ed badly at the recent election. 1t is
true that the Republican governor
slipped back into office by a margin of
only two or three thousand, which
seems pretty small in view Of the Re-
publican majorities Kansas has been
giving for the past decade, but the
Journal points out that the Kansas Re-
publicans elected all their candidates
for Congress and every state Office.
also the Legislature by an overwnelm-
irg majority. The aggregate congress
sional maJOrities in Kansas are $1,000.
and this was about the majority of all
the state officers, except Governor Hoch
who ran behind, and the Journal argues
that 27,OG0. rather than 5000. should be
announced as this years Republican
majority in Kansas. a majority very
respectable for an off year when many
thousands We're too busy in reaping the
benefits of Republican prosperity to

Either the photographer does the new
Queen Of Spain an injustice, or else her
crown is resting very heavily upon her
young head. Her latest photograph, as
published in the newspapers. makes
her appear more like a world-weary
woman of 40 than the happy girl Of IS
who became Alfonsos bride a few
months ago. 1t is not unlikely that the
ing, when men and horses were killed
around her by an anarchists bomb,
and her own bridal gown drenched with
blood, has been something that she can
never for a minute forget or get away
from.

China to Fight Opium.

One substantial evidence of the
awakening of the Chinese empire is the
edict Just issued at Pekin which pro-
hibits the cultivation of the opium pop
py and the use of opium in any form
except under medical prescription. 1t
remains to be seen whether this edict
is meant to be enforced, or whether it
can be enforced. but nobody will doubt
that if it is enforced 4 stupendous revo-
luton will be worked in the life of the
Orient. Once before. nearly 20 years
ago. China attempted to free itself from
the evils of opium, with the result that
the country became involved in a cost
ly war with Great Britain. The British
did not propose to lose the income
which India was receiving out of its tax
on opium exports to China. The re-
suit was that China. when it attempted
to enforce its prohibitory decree. had
to throw open its doors to Indian opium
and pay England n fine Of many mil
lions of dollars.
The opium poppy thrives in parts OF
China also, and the Chinese govern
ment decided to let the farmers grow
all the opium they pleased. though the
cultivation of the poppy in China hac
been prohibited for many years. A
ha
the Chinese crop finally became so large
that the sales of the Indian drug were
cut down from $40. 600, 900 in 1870 to SIS
OGO 900 in 1896. The Chinese Trade Re
ports for 1905 said that the lower cos
of Chinese opium was decidedly at
tractive and il was tending more ant
more to supplant Indian opium.
The new decree against opium is salt
to be the direct result of the visit Of thu
Chinese commission to this country ant
Europe last year. 1t was found tina
China would have the moral support o
most of the western nations i'll any eff
fort she might make to mitigate tn
terrible evils that the opium habit in

Arabia, as all the world knows, is the
land where perfection in horse flesh is
found, and where man is kindest to this
noble animal and most appreciative OF
its beauty and good qualities. This
week an Arabian, 4 man of some con-
Sequence in the desert, has visited the
New York horse show, and his criti-
CismS and comments as voiced in an
interview are of no little interest. The
thing which seemed to strike him the
most unpleasantly was the locked tails.
and he exclaimed. ut is pity! 1t is
wrong. Where is their glory? Where
Is their tail? The tail, the leg, the
head They all are the horse. If you
take one away, why not the Other?'
No wonder the Arabian was shocked
and disguised. The questions asked by
him cannot be answered satisfactorily
f. men no really know and really love
the horse. There is no excuse for the
cruel and senseless docking of horses
used for riding and driving, but UNI
happily there is little hope for an early
ending to the ugly fashion which mu-
tilates the noble animal.

An interesting item Of news is that
the japanese squadron proposes to Wis
it Honolulu and San Francisco in the
near future. OF course the visit will
be wholly friendly one and made
pleasant for all concerned, yet the fact
is not to be lost sight of that
weapon Of diplomacy. Japan knows
this as well as anybody, yet such a Wis
it from its fleet will hardly be viewed
in this country as a naval demonstra-
ton. but rather as a proper expression
of national pride as result of the VIC
tory in the war with Russia.

and in New York 155: all other states
fall far behind. This is taken as indi-
eating that the reading habit is more
pronounced in New England than i'm

1t is also doubtless a result of the fact
that there are more public libraries

New Railroad Construction,

Here in New England there has been
very little railroad construction during
the past few years, and outside of
Maine almost none at all, but in other
parts of the country, especially in the
great West, there are thousands and
thousands of miles of railroads either
now in process of construction or about
to be built in the near future. A writer
in the Review of Reviews gives tables
showing that the aggregate railway
mileage under contract for construction
or in immediate prospect in the United
States and Canada is over %, 900 miles
The aggregate Of cash to be used in
this construction and in the great pro-
jects of the American trunk line rail-
ways is over $3.50, 0OO If the entire
gold production of the world in the two
greatest gold years of history were APP
piled to this construction it would fall
far short of meeting it. In the early
part of the year the Railway Age COM
piled the railway projects at that time

the United States. This compilation

miles, located as follows:
