FRIDAY JULY 12 1895
Kansas never knows when it has
enough of a good thing. It had
just what It needed In the way of
a good state government when it
had Martin for governor and
Plumb and Ingalls were its repre-
sentatives in the National Senate.
It was not satisfied to let well
alone and must become the censor
■of individual appetite so mon*
keyed with prohibition until it
drove the decent Republicans into
retirement and handed the state
over to the tender mercies of the
fool Republicans and their brother
and sister cranks of every shade
and form of belief making the
state the sponsor for all the dam*
phooliam of the Jerry-Pfeffer-Yel-
lin-Lease crowd. It does the same
thing in another way parched
with drouth it cries for rain and
cries until it moves the man with
a water jug to break the bottom
out of It and the state is flooded.
With that state it is either a feast
or a famine; a fool government
or an unusually wise one. It is
swinging once more to the wise
quarter.
Reagan is again at his old busi-
ness advertising himself as a can-
didate for whatever is in sight by
an emphatic declaration that under
no circumstances would he accept
a nomination for governor. As it
is not likely that under any cir-
cumstances it will be tendered
him his declination is perfectly
safe but for such a political co-
quette he doth protest too much.
Whether the Populists swal-
low the labor hosts or the labor
hosts engulf the Populists in their
capacious maw in the approaching
congressional election it matters
not. There will be only the two
regulation parties who will figure
in the next presidential contest.
The Rs. and the Ds. The former
means the reliable the reformers
the responsible the restorationists
the Republicans. The other means
the doomed the defunct the de-
throned the discarded the defeated
the Democracy.
The Sunday law is coming to the
front in all the eastern and north-
ern cities. It is only an epidemic
of Sabbatarianism growing out of
the misunderstanding of the rights
of man and a forgetfulness of the
truth that the Sabbath was made
-for man and not man for the Sab-
bath. It is a swinging of the pen-
dulum so far in the way of un-
wholesome restriction that it will
inevitably swing to the other ex-
treme on its return journey. Hap-
py is that people who are not ex-
tremists.
NO ONE TO BLAME.
There is no excuse but that of
groses carelessness for the collapse
of buildings or platforms tempo-
rarily erected for the accomoda-
tions of thousands of sight seers
nor is that excuse any more valid
when the collapse comes to some
old unused structure pressed into
service to accomodate immense
concourses of people. There should
be prompt investigation into
cases like that of this Atlantis city
break down miscalled an ac-
cident. It wouid have been a
miracle if there had been no acci-
dent for the old unused structure
had been racked by the wind and
wave until it was entirely
unfit for the purpose to which it
was applied. Of the fifty or more
victims most of whom had broken
bones several will either die or
carry to the grave in permanent
disabilities the marks of the pres-
ent catastrophe. The only wonder
is that so few were really injured
beyond swift recovery in such a
confused mass of timbers and hu-
manity. That ninety-nine percent
escaped without serious damage is
matter of real congratulation but
it does not in any way dimlsh the
terrible responsibility of those who
opened the doors of this tumble
down structure to thousands
of strangers who were representing
one of the great benevolent organi-
zations of the day. There is alto-
gether too much carelessness of
human life loafing around the
doorstep of all these great gather-
ings particularly in suburban
parks and sea coast watering
places where the summer crowds
congregate. This Atlantic City
smash-up is of a piece with that
Ford’s theater business in that it
was due to ingrained carelessness
of human life. The cases may
not be otherwise parallel but
they are sufficiently of a
piece to challenge attention.
It Is too late to restore the
broken limbs and bruised flesh
and internal organs injured in this
collapse but it is not too late to
emphasise the need of some stricter
inspection by competent authority
of the structures into which thou-
sands of human beings are crowd-
ed. Ford’s theatre is not so remote
an illustration of this tendency |
to criminal neglect that it needs
repeating so soon.
There is considerable curiosity
manifested as to the authorship of
Governor Culberson’s declaration
in favor of protecting the raw ma-
terials of the country. Such a rad-
ical departure from the faith once
delivered to the Texas saints must
naturally challenge attention. Can
it be that the return of one Repub-
lican Congressman from the state
over which he presides as chief
magistrate has operated as the
waters of the Siloam pool on the
eyes so long sealed to the necessity
of such protection? No matter
what the efficient cause it is one of
the most marked utterances that
has fallen from the lips of a Texas
governor in years. As a sensation
Hogg is not in it a little bit. It
discounts all that the original
James Stephen has ever said or
done in bringing its author into the
eye and ear of the great world. Is
Charlie bidding for the vice presi-
dential nomination?
You cannot monkey with the
homestead business in this state to
the extent of making it a partner
in a fraud. The man who sells a
homestead without the consent of
his wife and thereby vitiates the
title cannot acquire another at
least as soon as he does the sale of
the first is validated. This is Tex-
as decision and it is a sound one
protecting the rights of all parties.
The wife is protected for she gets
her dower in the newly acquired
homestead and the creditor gets a
Hen on the first homestead that
will satisfy his claim to the extent
of its value.
Japan is in good shape will put
good money in ships for commerce
and defence and may make it very
interesting for the Russian bear
when he pokes his snoot intoCorean
matters.
The largest chestnut in the
United States is said to be that
growing in the town of 'Mansfield
Connecticut. This refers to the
tree not to the fruit. The largest
chestnut now known is t'hat one
with the beard on a foot long in
the prickly bur of which is em-
balmed the lie that the beneficial
effects ef the present Democratic
tariff is to land that party in the
White House at ths next general
election.
Culberson has caught the wind
of the present protective move-
ment before the rest of the Texas
herd and is making straight for
the point of greatest safety. He is
fortunate in caring nothing for the
consistency of bis opinions or his
agreement with the platform of
bis party.
Boston is taking care of the
Christian Endeavorers in the raw-
ness of an eastern fog and Denver
takes the teachers into camp out of
a miserable cold rain. The gates
of this lovely city stand open night
and day for these uncomfortable
thousands and next time they had
better come here.
Boston has in her streets today
ninety per cent of the twenty-five
thousand Christian Endeavorers
booked for the greatest religious
convention ever held on the Ameri-
can continent. The rest are com-
ing along as fast as the rails can
bring them.
lowa has harmoniously disposed
of the nomination of her State Re-
publican ticket by placing the
gubernational cap on the head of
Gen. F. M. Drake. True the for-
mality of an election has to be
gone through with but it is only a
formality. lowa is as sure of elect-
ing her Republican ticket in the
fall as Texas is of going Democratic
in the next election. Since lowa
threw the prohibition foolishness
over there has been no question of
her Invincible Republican major-
ity. The only question will be to
what extent the vote may rise and
swell until it is a Democratic ava-
lanche.
Colorado will not admit the cat-
tle herds from Old Mexico into her
pistures and markets without
rigid inspection. There is more
sense in this than in drawing an
imaginary line between two Texas
districts and declaring the cattle
on one side Infected and those on
the other free from fever. Common
sense has not as yet been crowned
king of these cattle regulations
but be is coming to the throne.
The Democrats all over the coun-
try are hot for the extension of the
civil service rules to Include all
that is in sight before the party is
driven from power.
China distributes her favors and
both England and Germany get a
slice of that loan. John may be a
slouch at fighting but when it
comes to diplomacy he is in it like
the original “Ah Sin.”
No matter what position the
competing companies hold in the
memory of St. Louis it is certain
the Belknaps are first in the hearts
of the ladies. It is a way that San
Antonio boys have.
The Leander boat crew may be
good oarsmen but they have little
of the instincts of gentlemen about
them.
The man who cannot hold his
temper In a contest whether it be
on the platform or in a boat or in a
baseball field isout of the business.
It requires a cool head to engineer
a fight.
Cleveland is out of the swim of
the future on baseball so says the
Galveston News but the News
says nothing of his agony over the
bloomer and the bike.
Cornell is not responsible for an
illness that Incapacitated their
crew from doing its work. As it
was they led the Leanders until
one of their crew succumbed and
practically quit rowing.
China still holds the tea caddy
of the world and England cannot
force her to drop it in favor of her
India brew. Tea would not be tea
if it did not have the Chinese
hieroglyphics on it.
It is not more or leas silver that
this country wants so much as
more stuff to sell for cash and less
monkeying with currency. Estab-
lished trade and monetary values
count every time.
VELVETINE POWDER.
Babiea’ Delight.
This powuer prevents chafe and
overcomes the skin ailments inci-
dent to infante sueb as chicken-
pox nettle rash prickly heat etc.
It is celebrated for its beneficial
action on the tender skin of child-
ren and adults for the prompt re-
lief that results from its use iu all
cases of eruptive skin troubles
caused by heat or insects such as
ticks redbugs mosquitos etc.
