COLEMAN ON SUGAR.

Hon. Norman j. Coleman, United
states commissioner OF agriculture, in
reply To n letter from DIR. +. 5. Peck.
mt Nashville, Kan, about sorghum SUI
gar making, says:
Competent men for conducting a su.
gar factory are difficult to find and those
who are able to do such work are al
ready engaged; therefore, cannot re
fer you to anyone whom could certain
~ recommend. On account of many
unfavOrable circumstances, the new
sugar factories at Douglass and Conway
Springs have not been as successful a.
expected, and the reasons therefor
should be we'll pondered by those who
intend entering on this business. Al
Conway Springs the water was totally
unfit for diffusion purposes, being
strongly impregnated with gypsum. Al
Douglass a new form of battery wa,
tried which proved failure. In both
cases the total cost of the factory was
underestimate. the outlay in each case
being about double the estimate. A
good sugar factory, for economical
work. would cost not less than 10000.
Such factory would work the cane
from 1000 to 800 acres. beginning the
first of September and working till the
first of November. The cane grown
this year seems to have been especial,
rich and capable of yielding nearly lOC
pounds of good sugar per ton of clear
cane. Those who intend tO engage in
the business would do well To follow II
the path which experience has marke,

TO OFFICE HOLDERS.

Political newspapers and office-hold-
ers have been figuring on what will be
the probable course of Mr.. Harrison in
the matter Of removing oflice-holders
appointed by the Democratic admins
tration. If ne follows the advice of his
party papers, such as the Globe Demo-
crat. Commercial-Gazette and the Bos-
ton Traveller, he will fill every Office
with a Republican as soon as possible
after his Inauguration; and if he follows
the ingalls, idea, he will demand the
resignation of every Democrat in Of
fee on the 4th day of March. But it is
barely possible that Mr.. Harrison may
consider that he is pledged tc civil SER
vice reform and that he will not make
removals except tor cause. If he fol-
lows the letter Of the Chicago platform,
Mr.. Harrison viii be a civil service re-
former; and if he carries out the
promises made In his letter of accep-
lance, he will only remove for cause.
Folling is a plank Of the Republican

The total product of sugar for the
four factories OF Kansas this year is
7OO,OO pounds, while the southern pro-
duct is 2OO,OOO 900. and that is not one
tenth part Of the total amount which
our people consume. With such q
showing for 1888, it will require rapid
expansion of the sugar industry both
south and north TO supply the home de-
mand by the year 1900. The Kansas
Farmer figures that there is great room
for sugar raising in Kansas. To pro-
duce as much sugar as the southern
states now do, Kansas must increase
her present product 1857 per cent; that
Is, the present output must be multi
piled 2,S57 before 1t will equal the south
ern product, and then the two products
VIII be equal TO only four-elevenths of
the amount which the country now uses

comes with agitation and discussion.
1t was not a political position. 'sThank
God, one place we can meet on
level and part on the square,
[Cheers for many minutes.l To ques--
ton asked If Indians would dispose of
their lands according to provisions Of the
bill he said that when cattle men were
allowed to lease the Cherokee Strip they
paid the Indians $4,000 and the interest
on the money paid them for that land
according to the bill would be 100000. IL
they were allowed to lease it would be
business for them to accept the provisions
of the bill, but as they are not of late 1t
was reasonable that they would, and he
had authentic word from them that they
would accept. This was true of the other
tribes concerned. The General was often
interrupted with enthusiastic cheers.
He was followed by Colonel Mansur, who
gave statistics concerning Oklahoma and
the Territory concerned in the Springer
bill. He referred to sort of sentimental
ity in some places in the East aud South
which was attended with opposition TO
the bill, but that was fast evaporating in
the light of facts. Concerning Oklahoma
being home for criminals he said over
800 murders had been committed in that
country during the last year. He said
there could be no doubt of the passage Of
the bill in question by the coming Con-
gress.
The following gentlemen were appointed
a committee to go to Washington and use
all fair means for the passage of the
Springer bill: Hon. Sidney Clark, Law
renee; Captain w. L. Couch, Douglas;
Colonel NJ. NJ. Murdoch, Wichita; Colonel
w. s. Crocker, Caldwell. Auxiliary COM

Crook, Wichita; w. K Carlisle, Wichita /;
A. B. Barnes, Greensburg; o. G.. Chase,

with cheers, and after short speech by
Sidney Clark the convention adjourned
until eight O'Clock.
AT the evening session Colonel Roberts,
of the Chickasaw Nation, j. w. Springer,
clerk of the Committee on Territories /;
Colonel Croker, of Caldwell, Tom McNeal,

of Trade was passed. The convention adj

In his letter of acceptance, General
Harrison, after declaring i'm general
terms that be fully endorsed the Chicago
platform in all respects, particulariZed
certain points which he wished to en-
phaslze, and in regard to civil service
reform used the following language:
The law regulating appointments to
the classified civil service received my
support in the senate in the belief that
Il opened the way to much -needed re-
form. / still think so, and therefore
cordially approve the clear and forcible
expression of the convention on this
subject. Only the interests of the public
should suggest removals from office. 1t
will be my sincere purpose, if elected,
to ddUdnce The reform.
But in the meantime, we would not
have any Democratic office-holder cal
culate on anything else than prompt re-
moval, for Mr.. Harrlson's party believes
at least one Democratic precept, Ito
the victors belong the spoils." No mat
ter how good an officer Democrat may

say "off with his head, - it is pretty sure
to drop.

at some time in his life, has been pretty
much the same as Hamlet when he dis
