In a report of the proceedings of the Kansas legislature the other day | occurs the following statement: “Scuator Forney introduced a bill to remove the political disabilities of six ren (whose names are given) of Sumner county.” The statement will appear incomprehensible to every reader who is not fumiliar with the Constitution of Kansas. There is no other state in the Union where men labor under “political disabrli- ties,” which can be remoyed only by act of the How does such a thing happen in Kansas? Because Kansas alone among the states provides that ‘‘no person who has ever voluntarily aided or abetted in the attempted overthrow of the government of the United States shali be qualified to vote or hold of fice in this state until such disability legislature. shall be removed by a law passed by a vote of two-thirds of all the mem- bers of both branches of the legisla- ture.” The republican majority in the senate passed a tariff bill on Tuesday only by the vote of Riddle- berger of Virginia, “who voluntarily aided or abetted in the attempted overthrow of the government;” but Riddleberger could not cast a vote in Kansas if he were ‘to settle there, except after a petition to the legisla- ture fora removal of his political disabilities. The retention of such a clause in the Constitution of the state a quarter of a century after the close of the war isa disgrace to the state. Probably Kansas is the only state capable of ‘such an anachron- ism.—New York Eveniug Post.

He was called two days ago by a local physician to the farm of John Wads- worth, twelve miles northwest of Oxford, this state, on the report that Wadsworth was dying from what appeared to be farey or glan- ders. The state veterinarian found the entire neighborhood in a state of excitement over the case and the family abandoned by the people there through fears of taking the contagion. The doctor found Wads- worth unquestionably the victim of the loathsome disease, which, as is well known, is incurable. Investi- gation shows that the man has had glandered horses on the place for the past year, and that he undoubt- edly contracted the disease himself from his stock. The stock came to him from his brother, who, it is now found, died a year ago from the same disease, although it was not discovered at that time what the disease was. The state veterinarian states that it isimpossible for Wads- worth to live more than a few days, as he is covered with running sores and is reduced to a skeleton. The neighbors are greatly excited over the affair, and avoid the place utter- Vly. Ballard’s Horehound Syrup.

His ap- | pointment caused a bitter feeling | between Foran and many democrats of this city. It is learned here through official correspondence in circles. is a re-| Mr. Louis Black, that he has imita- ted Lord Sackville Wes’t example in writing a letter to one of the Hunga- rian newspapers. The letter was published last November, bearing date of October 16. It criticised the Austro-Hungarian government with reference to its tariff policy and strongly favors a protective tariff in this country. Here is one para- | graph of it: \ “The European manufacturers now pay an absorbing attention to the political battle in the United States, and in case the cable should bring the news that Mr. Grover C.eveland is re-elected all the indus trial regions of Europe will be jubi- lant. You see, therefore, that merous people will be made happy hu- if the American people decide in fa- vor of tariff reform on the 6th of November.” The New York publication fell in- to the hands of Consul General Ed- mund Jussen at Vienna, who imme- diately wrote Mr. Black an exhibi- tion of infinitely worse taste than the Sackville West effusion. The mat- ter was immediately laid before Sec- retary Bayard by Consul General Jussen, Mr. Black also writing the State Department. His explanation was amild one, and the result is found in to-day’s announcement. iFirst door south of The Monroe Doctrine and Samoa, The inference that our attitude in the Samoan matter is dictated by the “Monroe Doctrine” is entirely unwarranted. In his message to Congress on December 2, 1823, President Mon- roe said with reference to our diplo- macy with the Russian and British governments concerning the inter- ests of those two on the northwestern coast of America, and incidentally as a notification to Spain and Portugal: “The occasion has been judged proper for asserting as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are in- volved, that the American continents by the free and independent condi- tion which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European pow- er,” and “we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemis- phere as dangerous to our peace and safety.” If it is attempted to stretch the meaning of the word hemisphere as here employed to include Samoa, it must include also the Fiji Islands, which are British territory. One of these islands was annexed as late as 1881. We raised no disturbance about that or about the various oth- er islands in that distant part of the Pacific which have within the last half century passed under foreign flags. Whatever our position in the Sa- moan controversy may be, the “Mon- roe Doctrine has no more to do with it than Cyprus.—N. Y. World. Don’t Read This for 500.
