A political observation from the

time since Kansas has had a governor
who did as little and made as much
fuss over what he did as Stubs has
done and does.

pondent of the South Kansas Tribune:
Few people predict an early spring,
but it will doubtless be of the right
kind when it does come. The soil has

JOY OF TIE, WORLD.
What is it makestne old world fair?
lis not alone the skies of blue,
The fragrance of the summer air,
The clover blossoms wet with dew
All these might be. and still the heart
Might find no joy that is worth while,
No soothing balm to ease the smart
If we could see no loved one smile.
The splash of rain upon the pane,
The roses blooming by the wall
', ould to the world come back in vain
If sEining brighter. far than all
There were no smiles of loved ones true
Awaiting US at close of day.
If these we missed, how grim the view!
How rough would be our dreary way!
It's not alone the sun on high
Nor summer breezes blowing sweet
A perfect stretch of cloudless sky
With clover blossoms for our feet
That makes the world beauty spot,
And every care it brings worth Whle,
Their charms would quickly be forgot
If all alone we trudged each mile

THE UNREST IN EUROPE.

wage it and to avert it, no nation even

real chance of limiting them by mutual
agreement, no publicist who does not
blind himself to the facts can hold out
any valid hope of escape from the

Harper's Weekly. Fly common consent

bleed themselves white rather than

-nents, moreover, breed arma-
ments: no power really believes that
other powers are arming merely for
defense; each suspects itself to be par
ticularly menaced; and the spectacle
of these gigantic preparations, while
unquestionably it acts as a deterrent,
does much also to foster apprehensions
and ill-will and mutual recriminations
until an atmosphere is propagated of
such heated antagonisms and detonat-
ing fears that even war seems prefer
able as a relief to the excruciating ten
sion. And at the present time Europe
has some special reasons for dis
auietude The last few years have
witnessed more than one gross in
fringement of international law and of
that code of morality, defective as it
is, which is still supposed to regulate
the relations of governments. The
Italian raid on Tripoli following on
Austria's seizure of Bosnia and Herze-
govina is all the proof that is needed
that in the Europe of today force rules
as undisguisedly as in the Europe of
Charlemagne. The conscience of ma
