pRoULTAR EXPERIMENTATION.

The Topeka Capital seems to be as
hard up for press clippings compliment
airy to A. w. Smith as it is for q con-
trary kind in regard to John j. Ingalls,
but succeeds in finding a few Of both
Just where they might be expected, in
democratic papers, as witness the fol-
lowing from Sundays Capital:
The Hugo Herald. a democratic pa
per, publishes the following in regard
t0Hon. A. w. Smith, republican can
didate for governor: I'VE have been
personally acquainted with Mr.. Smith
for ten years, and know that he stands
to-day without q peer in his party in
this state as soldier, q statesman, an
orator, and an honest man. The farm
ers and conscientious republicans are
for Smith; the political tricksters and
shysterS are against him. Does he
stand chance for the nomination?
We shall See."
These clippings will undoubtedly do
Mr.. Smith just about as much good as
the Capitals narroW-minded remarks
about Mr.. Ingalls, will do the latter
harm.
While on this subject, however. the
following from the Topeka correspond
ence of the Kansas City Journal, re-
garding Smith, may be of interest to
many of our readers, especially those
who have Quantrell raid claims:
The house journal of the last session
of the legislature, while in the main
correct. contains some inaccuracies that
are misleading, For instance, the vote
given in favor of the Quantreil raid ap.
preparation contains the name OF
Speaker A. w. Smith, when the fact il
that gentleman voted against the ap-
preparation, there being a call of the
house. After the vote was announced
Representative Cox of Douglas county
went to Mr. Smith and told him he hac
made a mistake, as Douglas county
would now surely be against him II
his race for governor. Mr.. Smitl
saw the point, as the Law.
renee people desired the appropriation
He then went to Chief Clerk Millar(
and desired his vote changed from the
negative to the Affirmative, in ordel
that the record might be straight. Al
though the house had adjourned, thu
accommodating chief clerk compiled
with the wishes OF the speaker, an6
consequently the journal, as printed
does not show exact facts. In justic
to Mr.. Smith it may be stated tina
at the next session, by unanimous con
sent, he might have been permitted +

Douglas county, or great many Q

fact he opposed it.

President A. H. Taylor.

For something like ayear, there have
been rumors that Lincoln University,
President Taylor's alma mater, would
make an attempt to secure him for its
presidency. Persons coming here from
Illinois have spoken of it, ard lately
the matter has been discussed in Hi
nois papers. 1t was said that the
friends there would provide everything
necessary in the way of salary, and
some of them seemed to feel sanguine
that he would accept.
We are glad to learn that President
Taylor has not encouraged the attempt
to win him back from Kansas and the
many friends of the State Normal will
be pleased to know that he has recently
answered repetition of the call with
the assurance that he sees no reason
why he should leave his present work
Illinois advices report that his answer is
| there considered final, and the Norma
School is to be congratulated that it is
still to have the guidance of one whC
has done so much to bring it TO it
present prosperous condition.

SENATOR PLUMB, who has made
study of the theory of the manufac-
ture of sugar out of sorghum cane,
makes an estimate of cost Of plant and
profits. Plant 900, including "a
small central sugar house and three
auxiliaries.' In this plant he esti-
mates the consumption of $50 tons of
cane day for eighty days, total OF
1000 tons, producing 25 gallons of
molasses to the ton, total of SOC, 900
gallons, each yielding four pounds of
sugar, making 100000 pounds of
sugar, and leaving 900 gallons Of
molasses. The value of this product
by figures is as follows: 300 900
pounds of sugar at cents, S4S, 600;
1876 900 gallons of molasses at 20 cents,
$27 900; Is, 900 bushels Of seed at 40
cents, 81 200; total, $4,000. Cost of
production he estimates at 80 cents per
ton at auxiliary houses, and 444 cents
per ton at the central house, with cost
of packages 80 cents per ton, making a
total cost per ton $l1 sat, or SIS, 511 for
the whole $1,000 tons. Deducting this
from the aggregate gross profit, we
have S63 ,6S9; and if one-half of this be
allowed the farmers for their cane ii
would give S31 ,s44.5O for 1900 tons
which would be $685. per ton.

y CHICAGO paper publishes very
interesting account of the rescue of a
ship-wrecked dog which was observed
floating in the lake on a foe of ice
over half a mile from shore. The
wonderful part of the story comes in
when the boat reached the dog, and
the rescurers called to him to get in,
he did not stir. He did not even wag
his tail. His tail was found to be
frozen to the ice, and one of his
rescuers had to take boat hook and
dig the imprisoned caudle apendage
out of its cold bed. Dog and tail are
both said to be doing well at last ac-
counts.

MORE than a century ago the best
tobacco and the best rum came from
Aux Cages pronounced o. K. J, and the
best of anything was designated as
Aux Cages, or o. K. This meaning of
the phase is still retained. In The
Jackson campaign every lie that could
be invented was invented to blacken
the generals character, and the in
dorsement that he had made, this o.
K" (meaning the best), was taken by
Seba Smith, and declared by him to be
but an abbreviatiOn of the general's
customary Endorsement of papers as
''oll kerrect.'' The democrats took UP
this statement and fastened the mys-
tic letters upon their banners. The
meaning of ''all correct" stuck to the
letters, and since then they have beer
used in the two meanings of 1.-THE best
and ''all right. "-Ex.

as recipients OF gracious charity which
they had no right to demand or ex-

favors are denounced for their un-
warranted presumption. The follow

This, coming from an organ that
represents constituency largely COM

and elsewhere, is doubtless fair ex-
preston of the sentiment prevailing
among those who were graciously
allowed to go safely back to
their homes after their career
of treason and bloodshed was brought

IT is wonderful what wrath demo-
cratic papers pour out on the head of
John j. ingalls, for what they term
abuse of union soldiers, when he only
referred to two solitary cases, while
Vest abused and villified every soldier
who carried a musket or welded a
sword against the rebels. 1t makes all
the difference in the world whose OK is
gored, and also also all the difference
in the world who does the goring.

A MORE capable, conscientious, clear
headed and talented candidate for at
torney general of the state than Hon.
l.. b. Kellogg may possibly be living in
Kansas. But, SO far, we have not seen
any mention of him in the newspapers.
Judge Kellogg is gentleman against
whose character not even shadow of
reproach rests. This is the kind of men
the republican party proposes TO put
in the field. With such men as candi-
dates throughout the United States
the question would not be one of wheth-
er the party would win. 1t would be
simply question of how large the ma

On last Monday evening our large
and beautiful opera house was crowded
with one of the most intelligent au-
diences that have gathered there in a
long time. The occasion was the ap-
pearance of the Welsh Prize Singers
in our city. Every available seat was
occupied, while great number were
obliged to stand. The Misses Hope
and Purvis rendered their solos ex-
tremely we'll, as did also Messrs. Bed
doe and Daniel. The duet, ''Mall
Cymrnw'n in Barod, by Mr.. Joseph
Parry, was sung by Messrs. Beddoe
and Williams in fine style, and they
were heartily encored. The Misses
Davies, although not down on the
evenings programme, by request,
rendered some excellent music.
Both the ladies possess elegant voices.
and their singing was very highly APP
preciated; Miss Mary DaYies, especial
ly, receiving great praise for her rem
dition of 1.-THE Warbling Song" The
choruses were exceedingly well sung,
the harmony being superior to any we
have heard in a long time The
Welsh airs were very greatly enjoyed
by the large audience present, and the
Welsh Prize Singers certainly left a
very good impression on our people as
to their ability as musicians. In con-
nection with the singing we must not
forget to mention the remarkable per-

the accompanist, who executed some
beautiful and difficult selections
