THE MEXICAN EXPOSITION.
Yesterday the governor of Kansas
appointed eight commissioners to rep-
resent that state at the Mexican expo-
sition All the other states have either
already done the same or will soon do
so.
The Mexican exposition that will
open next April and last six months,
it is unnecessary to say, is only next
in im|H)rtance to us to our own world's
fair. In some respects it is more so.
Here is a country within a stone's
throw of us that raises all the pro-
ducts we cannot raise. Its climate
produces all the tropical cereals that
can be produced in any of the coun-
tries of South America or Asia. With
a full union with that country Amer-
ica cou'd be independent of the world.
It would embrace within itself all the
latitudes of the zones. Besides
this, Mexico has the greatest of
historical interest. It has been
recently asserted by geologists
and archaeologists that its remains go
further back to the cradle of the hu-
man race than that of Kgypt or Asia.
Single standard men have recently
pointed in derision to the Mexican
civilization as the result of its silver
policy. Mexican commerce aud arts
are simply due to its peculiar ancient
civilization But it is coming out
from under its spiritual and social
yoke as fast as it can. American in-
ventions, ideas, and American com-
merce have done much and will do
much toward bringing Mexico out. If
we would but develop our opportunity
and make a greater utTort we would
have oue of our best markets right
here at our door. The exposition now
being pushed will be on a gigantic
scale. Mexico desires to show the
world how far in civilization it ha;
advanced in the comparatively short
time of its modern spirit, and America
should assist it all she can.

THRlli LAST CHANCE
of the pecularities of this ad
ministration is the fact that it seems
to feel, in spite of its pretense to the
contrary, that this is its last inning
and that it had better make hay while
the sun shines. The officials of all
the departments seem to share this
feeling. Not only is this true ii
commercial sense, but the lluzz^rd
Hay and fishing tripes of the president
are taken as examples and a series o
junketing trips are being indulged in
that are altogether unprecedented
Some time ago Secretary Lemony
went on an "Inspection" tour
to the Pacific coast. Secretary Car
lisle is about to go to the lake country
on a similar mission. Assistant Sec
retary McAdoo, of the navy depart
ment, recently made an "inspection
f the naval militia and now his chief
Secretary Herbert, will start on an
inspecting" tour of the ports. As-
sistant Secretary Uhl, of the state de-
partment, is now "inspecting" the
consular service in Europe. This,
coupled with the secretary of the in-
terior campaigning for the gold bugs
in the south, leaves the many desks at
Washington quite empty. No wonder
the administration business in all de-
partments is so neglected.
This "inspecting" business is largely
done at government expense, and
looks like it is a case of last chance.
Altogether, having gotten the country
in a most deplorable condition, this
administration is taking things quite
easy and carelessly.

There is a curious feeling concerning
America over here, iu one way and
another. Morgenbladet, the chief con-
servative paper, tin organ locally of the
first Importance, keeps a sort of horror
chamber of Americana. The reason is,
i i suppose, that in these very dark and
Jni ! troublous political times, when not only
4.o". | the union, but the monarchy itself, is
threatened nnd tottering, the conserva-
tive interest thinks it dangerous to
in a re-
public, and especially in ours, the
most flourishing, and therefore the
most pernicious, example of that inven-
tion of evil bred.

WANTS IT ALL.
The recent troubles in the populist
party show that Kditor Vincent, of the
Representative, is uot fitted for a
leader. He makes the great mistake
of wanting it all. He attempts to use
power beyond that conceded him by
his party. When Mr. Vincent came to
the territory, a raw itinerant, he had
hardly been here a fortnight before
he began to be arrogant in his author-
ity. When Tat Cassidy was made a
member of the national committee,
Vincent wrote National Chairman
Tobeneek that Pat was a democrat
ami demanded his rejection. In place
of Pat, he had himself appointed. But
upon investigation Pat was reinstated.
This was the first row between the
Logan county populist party and Mr.
Vincent.
The secand row came when Mr.
Whitwaiu was made a member of the
society of Loyal Americans. Vincent
demanded his dismissal. Instead of
Whitwaiu being fired, however, he
was promoted by being made one of
the eight national vicegerents of the
organization.
Mr. Vincent can't claim that he has
sacrificed anything for the party and
that he is being mistreated. He has
always worked for Vincent and Vin-
cent only, and has simply used the
party as a tool for his personal ad-
vancement.
Likk the gentleman who said he was
a—jolly good fellow — from Texas, the
vigilance who mistook the lawyer near

mistaken as to his peculiar peculation.
it need not be feared but that the

promises and disappointments.

Au Occasion on Which It KepUeed Turp
In a llounie lllaek llfss.
In these days when so ninny means
of earning a livelihood are closed, save
to the working classes, it is interesting
to hear of the revival of so old a pro-
fession as that of the road. This be-
ing the age of machinery, says the Pall
Mall Gazette, one need not be sur-
prised to learn that the bicycle has
been substituted for the Honnle Black
Besses of a century ago. The original
formula: "Your money or your life," is,
however, maintained intact, and the
old York road is once again the scene
of the highwayman's operations. The
pistol, too, is still the proper weapon,
and in other respects the traditions of
the craft are carefully preserved.
"The Doncaster police are communi-
cated with, but have not made any
arrests," is a sentence that reminds one
of the days when watchmen were over-
turned in their boxes. Throughout the
account is picturesque. The cyclist-
cuthroats* bicycles were "on the road-
side," while their riders disputed the
passage of Mr. Lovely. The latter
6hook up his gallant "safety" (hence-
forth a misleading title), and at-
tempted to run the gauntlet, but a
bullet took him in the hack of tho
thigh. Ho, however, escaped to "his
native city of York, preserving his
purse virgiu.
Th® "Born-Tired" Man.
The fellow who w as born very tired
grew more and more weary as he went
through the haps and mishaps of child-
hood, the adolescence of youth and tho
early period of manhood. At middle
age he was the tiredest man then liv-
ing. At fifty he waa ao utterly worn
out with the simple prOOBM of existing
that It occurred to him to calculate
how many breaths he must draw if he
went on living for twenty years more,
and. being a man in fair preservation,
there was a good prospect of his reach-
ing the allotted threescore and ten

•One of the funniest things thnt ever
happened during my connection with
the Georgia judiciary was when I was
flrt t elected solicitor," said Judge
Griggs, of Atlanta, to a Constitution
reporter.
The demands of my position fre-
quently put me in the position of prose-
cuting a friend. It was hard, but I
did it
An ox-sheriff of a county in my cir-
cuit—a fellow that I had known und
liked for a long while—was prosecuted
for making away with some money. It
was an ugly charge. The evidence was
conclusive againt him.
When I went down to court ho came
staggering into my room about two-
thirds drunk. 'Jim,' he said, 'these in-
fernal scoundrels are trying to prose-
cute me perfect outrage. I told 'em
just wait 'till I saw Jim Griggs and we'd
fix It—I told 'em we'd let 'em know who
to prosecute. And wo will, won't wo
Jim?'
"I looked at him very gravely and
said: 'Tom, I've got a dead easo
against you. I'm going to prosecute
you, convict you and send you to the
penitentiary. You are guilty. You got
tho money, and I've got the evidence to
prove it.'
"lie looked at me in perfect amaze-
ment. He was dumfounded. He said
I didn't mean it. 1 told him I did. He
straightened himself up and marched
out without a word.
"His case was the first one called
after dinner. The judge asked him if
he had any counsel. He said no, and
didn't want any. He spoke in a half
drunken fashion. 'But,' said the judge,
•you are charged here with a serious
offense, and if you have no money to
employ a lawyer I'll appoint one for
you.'
"The defendant didn't like It. lie
arose with difficult}'. He steadied him-
self against a table, and, speaking in a
maudlin fashion, said:
" 'Yer honor, I said I don't want no
counsel, and 1 don't want none. I
meant what I said. I don't want—hio
—take no 'vantage of ze state. State
ain't got no counsel—what der I want
with any?"
sea lawyers.
Th«j Are Dreaded Mora by th* Cob-
niandor Than Storm*.
"The chief of all things on earth a
sen captain dreads is the sea lawyer,"
said an old, gray-haired commander to
a Baltimore News reporter. "The ty-
phoon of the China seas and the hurri-
cane of the West Indies are bad, but
they are not in it for raising a rumpus
with tho sea lawyer.
"The fellow I refer to as the 'sea
la wyer' is the one or more sailors
almost sure to creep Into every fore-
castle at one time or another, who, be-
ing a little better educated than his
mates, becomes their leader ami pro-
ceeds to make himself solid with them,
and a deadly enemy of the captain and
officers, by quotlug maritime law to
them that never existed and filling
their heads with nonsense and imag-
inary wrongs. He'll tell them they
must have 'plum duff' every day, ac-
cording to law, and they'll believe him,
ami raise ealn if they don't get It.
Hell persuade them they are worked
too hard, and ever} man Jack of them
will desert tho ship at her first port of
call. He'll make them believe they
own the vessel before he gets half
through with them, and will instigate
a half dozen or more damage suits
against the ship's owners among them
as soon as they set foot ashore.
"The 'sea lawyer' is generally a
sneaky fellow, who makes a steady
practice of deceiving honest sailors and
getting them into trouble and then
leaving them to get out as best they
can. He is hatejl and dreaded by every
captain afloat, and there's only one way
of arguing with him—that's with a be-
laying pin. I've known more than ono
Moody mutiny to bo stirred up by a
'sea lawyer.' w

Swedish Simplicity.
Miss Margaret Howitt, In her work,
"Twelve Months with Frederika lire-
mer," tells several curious anecdotes
illustrating tho simplicity of the lower
classes iu Sweden. Thus, two servants
were given tickets to go to the theater,
from which they soon returned. "You
surely have not been?" asked the mis-
tress. "Oh, yes!" they answered. "We
went to the theater and sat there till had an silln'time for fifty years, 'cept
suddenly a curtain drew up and some last winter. And I atn t never .uffered

AILING JUST A LITTLE.
The Ladles Took No Further Interest In
the Infant's Health.
She had a seat In a Michigan avenue
car, with a baby in her lap, all bundled
up in an old shawl, says the Detroit
Free Tress. A woman next to her with
two small children seemed to have con-
siderable curiosity about that baby,
and, after trying several times to get a
sight of its face, she said:
"Haven't you got your child bundled
up a good deal for this weather?"
'But I have to keep him warm,
ma'am," was the reply.
'For what reason?"
'The doctor told me to."
'Then the poor little thing is ailing?"
'Just a little ailing, ma'am—just a
little. He's got measles with the mumps
atop of it, but the doctor says he's
growing -"
No one heard the rest of her words.
There were four or fivo mothers ami six
or seven children in the car and there
was a stampede which t«x k them all out
and everybody else as well. When the
car rolled on again tho woman with tho
baby looked at the conductor inquir-
ingly and asked:
"Has anything broke down or blown
up or run off the track to scare 'em all
out?" .... -

The death mask of Napoleon, which
was taken Immediately after the de-
mise of the conqueror at St. Helena
by Dr. Automarchl, was obtained under
great difficulties. There was not an
ounce of plaster of paris to be had on
tho Island, therefore tho doctor scoured
the cliffs In every direction for a piece
of gypsum. This he at last found and
calcined until powdering was possible.
On this account the work was very
crude, but this notwithstanding ho had
an offer of six thousand pounds sterling
about thirty thousand dollars) for the
•ast before it was a month old. Sev-
ral of tho replicas are now valued at
j .vventy thousand dollars each.

In such a way as to look as If the bulgo

Lippincott's Magazine.
The old, old ruse succeeded admh*-
ably, for Instantly there camo from the
cover, about thirty yards away, a hurt-
ling shower of arrows; and as soon as
Tom and I had fired our decoy shots a
squad of hideously painted Apaches
sprang up, and with uplifted toma-
hawks nnd terrific yells, rushed toward
us. But not for far.
"Now, boys!" shouted Jack, and at
the crack of our rifles the three fore-
most braves went headlong down.
For a few seconds the others stood
bewildered, and then, as ono after an-
other dropped under the storm of re-
volver bullets, fired so rapidly as to
seem like the work of a dozen enemies,
the surviving warriors darted off to
their ponies and scurried away.
