The Republicans have made arrangements to run a daily Nationalist until after election, as an offset to the Alliance Daily Republic. Republicans think they can win with the proper kind and amount of work. Yoiso men who are just entering politics, and older men who have never given the subject much thought, should study up the matter of pensions somwhat. For should the Democrats ever get into power and put into force their theories on the direct tax for all Government expense the immense amount now raised for pensions is going to come directly out of the pockets of the people. It will then be felt with crushing force, if the number of pensioners increase and the hard times continue.

It is said by good authority that the maximum will be reached in 1893 probably, and that the amount will not exceed but we are inclined to doubt that when the great number of increases are taken into account. Total pensions this year will be about according to Commissioner of Pension Raum, which is about 9,000,000 less than estimated and appropriated by Congress. A little over one-hundred and twenty-seven and a half millions is appropriated for next year and the same authority thinks this will be ample. Taking into account the number of pensioners who will be dropped from the rolls by death and other onuses it is thought that 250,000 new pensions can be granted without excluding the appropriation. No new tax levy will be necessary to meet this payment.

CHSE St CO. of "Glimpses of Western Architecture," describes some of the monumental buildings of Chicago and the peculiar features of their construction. This paper is alio amply illustrated. Ecclesiastical London in the times of the Plantagenets is the subject of Walter Besant's third article on London, in which he describes the religious life of the city, the numerous churches monasteries, nunneries, hospitals and religious orders, and their remarkable influence upon the manners and thought of the people of that time. More than twenty illustrations are given of interesting remains still existing of Plantagenet London.

The unique and attractive series of paper on "Some American Riders," by Colenel T. A. Dodge, illustrated from paintings by Remington, is brought to a conclusion in this number. Professor W. G.

Blalkie, of Edinburgh, contributes some entirely new and interesting matter about "Lord Byron's Early School Days." Dr. Andrew Wilson, F. R. S. in a popular and entertaining manner, discusses the troublesome biological question, "What is Inheritance?" and explains some peculiar facts connected with the preservation and variation of ancestral traits.

John W. Clampitt gives a stirring account of the work of "The Vigilantes in California, Idaho, and Montana." The fiction of the number includes the continuation of W. D. Howells's story, "An Imperative and of George du Maurier's "Peter Ibbet-son" (the latter being fully illustrated from characteristic drawings by Mr. du Maurier); a short sketch entitled "Luck," by Mark Twain; Zoo," a strangely interesting story of South Africa, by George Heath.

Poems are contributed by Kate Putnam Osgood, Nannie Mayo Fiti-hugh, and Julia C. R. Dorr. The ddito-rial departments, conducted by George William Curtis, William Dean Howells, and Charles Dudley Warner, are as always scholarly and entertaining, and unsurpassed in the variety and appropriateness of the subjects presented for discussion.

Chicago, July 25. A dwpateh from Portland, Oregon, says: Pendleton contains a nephew of the actress, Sarah Bernhardt. His name is J. U. Keables.

This discovery leads to the history of the illustrious Sarah's origin, differing materially from that given in her biography. Keables has received a letter from his mother, now Mrs. L. E. Bell, who lives at White River, Tulare County, California.

She states that her niece, Mrs. Mary Munn, received a letter from Sarah Bernhardt in which the actress discloses the fact that she is Mrs. Bell's younger sister, who ran away from home in New York State thirty-nine years ago. According to Mr. Keables story Sarah's true name is Sarah King and she was born on American soil.

Her father, Kingsley King, was of French and Jewish decent and a plasterer by occupation, living in Rochester, N. Y. Sarah's mother was dead and she and other children lived with an aunt, her father's sister, Mary Firefield, in Rochester. One day a remark displeased her and she loft the house. This was not an unusual occurrence and no attention was paid to it for the time being.

Sarah did not return however, and her fate had been a mystery for thirty-nine succeeding years. She has several relatives, including two sisters and a brother in the United States.

Secretary Foster has named a successor to Major Brackett as chief clerk of the Treasury Department, in the person of Frederick Stocks, of Blue Rapids, Kan. The gentleman is unknown here, but is among the brightest young men in his section of the country, where he is engaged in the banking business.

It was through the efforts of Senator Plumb that Mr. Stocks obtained the good thing. The position is a most important one, the many details of the great department coming directly under the supervision of its occupant. The salary attached is (K)0 per annum. OH Ye Ladies! One of the privileges of a woman is to deceive her sex about the cost of her hat, bonnet or dress.

Two or three of the ladies of our town are determined to overcome this deceit. They go to all the stores in town, get prices and a dozen samples, thereby they can tell the cost of every one's outfit. Y'ou can see wisdom in the curve of their vision, and then such a good time! But the salesman thinks it, if he don't say it. J. W.

We think the best of Mr. Trowbrii'i stories in this volume is "The Man who Stole a Meeting-House," which we suppose oar readers have not forgotten.

It deals, like all the others, with tho rustic character of New England, bringing out here and there its lurking kindness and delicacy, but impressing you chiefly with a certain sar donic hardness in it a humorous, wrong- headed recklessness, which Mr. Trowbridge has succeeded in embodying wonderfully well in old Jedworth. The story is as good as the best in this sort of study, and in structure it is as much more artistic as it is less mechanical. For humorous conception, ingenious plot, well- drawn character and a naturally evolved moral in old Jedworth's disaster nnd re formit is one of the best New England stories ever written, to our thinking. They are all inviting stories; they all read easily.

As Soon as $1,009,000 I Subscribed, a Factory Will Ur Erected. What is termed a "perpetual motion machine'' is on exhibition in a tent on Miehigan avenue, next door to the Parisian Gaities, says the Chicago Tribune. It is shown by Bisbing and Campbell, the inventors, of Frankfort, and consists of a wheel set horizontally with wings placed at an angle, of 45 degrees. Below this is an air chamber which runs out horizontally, then ascends to a pipe which reaches above the building and acts like a stovepipe. A damper is set in the pipe.

When the damper is turned so as to make a clear route for the air, the atmosphere on the wheel being heavier than at the top of the smokestack or airstack, it starts itself and continues runing; at least that's the explanation made by the inventors. The exhibitors say they have already secured of stock suscriptions to manufacture machines on this principle, and that as soon as this sum reaches $1. 000,000 they intend to begin the making of machines at Elgin 111.

The Colorado Midland is responsible for the most novel, and at the same time the most practical departure of the year's railway arrangements. This new departure comes in the form of a combination ticket, which is good for passage on all tho regular trains of the line betwern Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, and allows the holder to stop on any of the hotels in the justly famous Ute Pass." The fact is that all the hotels are in the Pass, and the visitor can, therefore, have a fine opportunity to seo all there is to be seen in one of the most celebrated parts of the picturesque West. The arrangement is so simple that anyone can understand it at a glance. The tourist buys a ticket at any of the offices of the Santa Fe or Midland roads, for as many days as he expects to be ont, paying therefore a fixed amount. This ticket entitles him to the best accommodations at the hotels between the points mentioned, for as long or as short a time as he desires to remain at any one of them.

He is then entitled to travel to the next one he wishes to visit, without additional cost, as his ticket is good on the trains as often as ho wishes to ride. In this way he has the benefit of the lowest weekly or monthly rate, and can divide his time among the various resorts and pay no more oven less than if he spout the whole time at a single place. Those tickets nro made good for a week, or any numbor of days up to thirty, and children are given a reduced rate. It costs a man'much less to travel in this way than it formerly did, ho has no anxiety about his expenses, for they are all paid in advance, and he knows to a dollar what his trip is a going to cost him. For families it is a groat comfort and convenience, for all bustle and discomfort are done away with.

The Midland has put on three extra trains, which now make sevens trains each way through the Pass every day. A person can travel through the Ute Pass almost every hour of the day or night, and the guests of tho various resorts can pay each other friendly visits'without any additional expense. This plan will certainly prove the most popular of any yet introduced, and there is no reason why it should not be a great success. Full information can be obtained from any agent of the Santa Fe system or Colorado Midland road, or by communicating with Chas. S.

Lee, general passenger agent, Colorado Midland railway, Denver, Colo. Something New Through Can Hetween St. Paul and Kansas City.

Manhattan's water-works plant, built by the city and profiting by the mistakes of others, is bonded for What do some of the good citizens of Clay Center think of that? A oiieat improvement is uoticible in the New York Tribune since Arthur Capper, late of the Topeka Capital, has accepted a position thereon, and we congratulate the Tribune. ALTiioron the Kansas State Editorial Association has not had a meeting for seven years, it still sends delegates to the National Editorial Association eneh year. What wonderful vitality it must It is said thnt Mrs.

Henry Stanley was the original of that famous pninting Yes or No?" wherein a maiden is looking pensive and trying to appear undecided, when, as a matter of fact, yes is visible in every feature. Hi tiik way, although there were five Kansas newspaper associations represented at St. Paul last week during the National editorial meeting, the two offices allowed to Kansas were both filled by North-Central men. To get down to brass hats, who cares whether Ex-Senator Ingalls is now a Republican or not? There was a time when it made a difference, and when he came powerfully near denying the faith, but at this writing he has only one vote and that is cast in a Democratic county. Henby Clews reports that the rise in wheat during the past week was owing to assurances of short crops in the Old World.

amounts of new wheat are coming in and it is of fine quality. Corn is up in sympathy with wheat. He estimates the wheat crop of this country at nearly five and a half million bushels. What must have been the state of mind of the editor of the Manhattan Mercury when he penned this little gem of political vituperation? Dirty deception with vile imperialism of cowardly character, gave a spiritual seance in which the hands of a usurer, a aid agent of alienism and a Benedict Arnold were plainly visible. W.

J. A. Montgomery of the Clay County Critic: "There will be no Democratic ticket in Clay County. The Alliance will place men on the ticket who will be satisfactory to the Democrats." The above was taken from Tuesday' Topeka Capital. "Monty" should know what he is talking about considering the double-headed state of his so-called political mind and affiliation.

State brass-collar Democrats, with the exception of those who hope to run for State office in 18K2 on a fusion ticket, are apparently against fusion with the Alliance. But that is only for effect. When the county offices are divided up this fall there will be inside fusion. On the records the Democratic organization will be kept intact for the moral effect it will have in In other words, the Democrats are Inying the foundation right now for a confidence game that is very slick. Will the Alliance be suck-ed in? is the question.

One of the new departures in Kansas literary matters is the determination of the Ottawa Chautauqua Assembly to issue the Assembly Herald monthly hereafter instead of semi-occasionally as in the past. We know nothing of the scope or intent of the paper in its more ambitious form other than that Mrs. Noble Prentis is at the head of the social science department, which is a guarantee that in this direction at least will be found brains, industry and excellent literary taste. It is to be hoped that all other departments as so capably filled. Ex-LIEUTKNANT-GOVEBMOB RlDDDE, editor of the Minneapolis Messenger, has purchased the plant of the Pittsburg World, and proposes to establish here a paper to bo called the Pittsburg Times, issuing a daily and weekly edition.

The first number of the daily will be issued on or about August 3, 1891. This does not involve any change in the Minneapolis Messenger, the Kansas Workman or the Sprig of Myrtle, which Mr. Riddle will continue to publish at Minneapolis as heretofore. Press Dispatch from Pittsburg. The Times hopes this is not the commencement of a venture that will take Governor Riddle away from this part of Kansas, although at the same time it would wish all possible success to the new scheme.

There is no keener newspaper man in Kansas than Governor Riddle, and he will succeed if Pittsburg furnishes an opening. Thebe is a pretty how-de-do in Riley County politics, and the earth is being torn up in large patches.

A wbiteb in the Cincinnati Gazette who is no less a personage than Dr.

C. W. Lindner, who, a number of years ago lived in Clay Center, has suggested rather a startling remedy for the financial evils which overshadow this country. He agrees with most thinking men that the great danger at this time is from the centralization of wealth; that from whatever standpoint it may be regarded, the system which permits the piling together of millions upon millions of money is pernicious and eventually may work revolution and dire disaster. The system of inheritance as practiced in thiscountry Mr.

Lindner thinks, is at the bottom of much of the evil, because, probably, of the momentum great fortunes get in accumu lation, and the never-ending aggregation it becomes. No man, because his father chanced to be thrifty, should have the power to go heaping dollar on dollar and all the time living in ease and plenty with out rendering an equivalent for his daily bread. No young man of sonnd mind and body has a right to existence who does not earn it, whatever may be his circumstances. Mr. Lindner advocates a restriction of testamentary bequests, so that each child, whether adult or infant, may get from ancestors only enough to give him or her a fair start in life.

During the lifetime of the man who does the accumulating, he is to be left in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of his energy and good judgment, but at death it is nearly all to revert to State, county, city or municipality, to the end that the burdens of taxation may be removed from shoulders that are near the galling point. This in brief is the theory and at a cursory glance it seems to be all right. What the logic of details would de velop might change the view entirely. LITERARY NOTES.

The very popular series of illustrations relating to the Columbian Exposition will be continued, this number con taining pot raits of the "World's Fair Com mittee."

Harper's Magazine for August opens with a remarkably interesting paper on "New Zealand," by Professor George M.

Grant, describing the wonderful scenery and unsurpassed resources of that remote country which to America is almost a terrti incognita. Numerous illustrations from photographs and from drawings by distinguished artists make this article doubly attractive. J. H. Rosny, one of the most brilliant of the new French writers, contributes to the same number of the Magazine a timely and striking article on the "Nihilists in Paris," with portraits and graphic illustrations by distinguished Parisian artists.

Gay Oillltes. The ladies' aid society of the Christain Church held an ice cream festival at the residence of David Shivers in Gill township on Saturday night, the 25th. To say it was a complete success is to speak in very mild terms. There were more than a hundred persons present, among whom were Prof. W.

R. Wilson and wife and Miss Myrtle Latta, of Clay Center, Albert Munroe and wife, N. Latimer and wife, Dr. C. W.

Dittlefield and wife, of Industry, and a very large number of the leading farmers and families of the community. The Industry band furnished several choice selections of music, which added greatly to the evening's enjoyment. Also Prof. W. R.

Wilson and wife furnished some very fine music on the violin and orgin, which made all (Christians not excepted) feel funny in their feet. The festival lasted till the small hours of the morning, and the only thing to be regretted is that the night was not twenty-four hours long. The net receipts were something over $15, which will be used for holding a protracted meeting in Industry in the near future. The aid society has promised a repetition of this festival at no far distant day in Industry. God speed the day.

Probably Won't Uo it Again. Will McFaddcn, a fifteen-year-old son of Van McFadden, in a wild desire for fun threw an osage orange at a passing Kansas Central train Tuesday afternoon. The ball struck one of the windows of the coach shivering it. Luckily for all concerned, no further damage was done. Had it hit the window just back of where it did, it would almost without doubt, struck a lady passenger in the face.

Immediately after the glass was broken the conductor stopped the train and followed the boy as far as Dexter's dam, where he overtook him and got his name. The boy being engaged in hauling brush for the dam. Word was sent the officers and an arrest made but in view of the fact that young McFadden stoutly maintains that he only intended to throw at a box car, and other mitigating circumstances, the matter will probably be settled. Marriages. The probate judge issued two marriage licenses the past week and both to parties from Riley County: On the 24th one to Olie O.

Lindsey, age 28, and Anna Borg, age 18. This couple was joined in marriage on the 27th by Rev. Bengstan. On the 25th Henry Ottinger, age 31, and Emma Dagon, age 26, were married by Judge Ryan. Kansas Citt, July 28, 1891.
