Asbestos as KIndllng Wood.

A lady on the east side, with a view to
domestic emergencies, has recently purchased
gas stove. II was adjusted In the basement
hall, and during the hot weather saved the
heating OF the house by the range on several
ironing days. But IL was rather near tho
wooden wainscotinc of the hail, and the lady's
husband being man Of an Observing and
mechanical turn Of mind, noticed this dan
gerous proximity. As precaution against
fire he obtained largo shee. % asbestos. and
fastened it securely wherever tho heat Of the
stove would strike The asbestos hooked er-
actly like sheet OF paEteboard, and very
poor pesteboard at that, and the next time
she made the fire the cook observed its very
infammable appearance and hauled out from
the cellar an old fireboard, which she put be-
hind thesiove 10 protect the asbestos. Several
days afterward the master Ok the house hap
peDed to be in the basement and noticed the
screen. Ho inquired Of bridget, who told
him why she had put IL there. lie suppressed

SORGHUM.

K. C. Gazette.
We lay down the proposition, that in
| ten years the state of Kansas will not DE
known as the ''Sunflower State" but as
! the Sugar State" And our argument
is this; Surgar Is not manufactured but
grown. In support of this proposition
and argument, we beg leave to offer the
following as collateral: In England the
best cheese is obtained from Cheshire
And why: Because the soil produces a
peculiar grass that makes it. Cheese
makers in other sections understand the
art just as well, but the property of the
soil is lacking. So it is in the Western
Reserve of Ohio. So as to the butter in
Goshen, \. Y. The Gennessee valley in
New York state raises the wheat from
which the best -four in the world Is made.
Take the article known as Bourbon
whisky. Its marked excellence is caused
by combination of climate soil and
water. 1t cannot be produced any where
but in Kentucky. Ohio corn has been
brought over into Bourbon county and it
was a failnre. The west wines are
grown, not made There is q small dis
trlct Of country on the Rhine river in
Germany called Johannisberg, of not
over 100 acres, owned by some monks,
and set IL grapes, The wine from this
district has been famous for hundreds of
years for its exquisite bouquet and its
marvellous mellowness. 1t is the soil
that makes the delicious drink. Kings
and emperorS compete with each other
to get few bottles of it,
This proves conclusively to Us that our
soil, especially that lying west of the
sixth principal meridian, is peculiarly
adapted, by an all wise Chemist, for the
sorghum plant. The plant itself Is sal
amander. Originating in the hot belt, IN
a dry zone in China. it is suitably pedl-
greed to flourish in dry, sandy soil, and
when being struck by the fierce hot winds
of July and August. in the exhuberance
OF Its joys shouts, hal hal 1t is iron
clad when 1t comes to insects, and the
chnch bug will have to move on. 1t Is
true that the sorghum plant viii flourish
anywhere IN the temperate zone that In
dian corn will, but II is only at its best
III the elevated plains OF western Kansas.
The order OF things will be changed
the wIfes folks will come from Missouri
to the sorghum counties to spend the
winter.
In few short years there will be es-
tablished at every court house town q
sorghum mill for the farmers Conven-
fence.
The late discovery of what is known
as the diffusion process-a process of
steaming the stalk SO as to make it let go
its sweet, has given wonderful impetus
to this industry. All hail to the sor-
ghum plant. The wonderful button of
the intelligence of the nineteenth CEN
fury has been touched, and 10! the des-
ert has been made fruitful and to flow
with milk and honey.
Senator Plumb is an earnest believer
in the ultimate success OF sorghum sugar,
and it has always mad jealous friend in
him during the stages of its infancy and
boyhood, and he surely viii not desert
it now that it has arrived at its ma
turity.

One of the most encouraging signs Of
the times is the action of the federal
court at indianapolis III instituting pro
ceedings against parties charged with
fraudulent practices in the recent cleo
ton. If similar action were taken by
the federal courts all over the country
and the prosecution of offenders against
the election laws of the land were pushed
with vigor and determination, the evil
so loudly and SO justly complained OF
extant, if not entirely eradicated could
be suppressed to the extent that its bale
full influence upon the community and
its damaging effects upon the civil ad-
ministration of government, local and
general, destroyed. Whatever may be
the excuses set up for the failure of state
courts to perform their functions in this
matter, there are none why the federal
courts cannot and should not do SO, and
it is the universal desire of good people
all over the land that this should be done
After all that has been or may be said in
decrying the evils of corrupting the
ballot, the remedy therefor lies with the
courts. They can provide remedy: viii

The hurtful and far-reaching effects of
the strike policy employed by employees
in any line of industry finds fresh illus
tration in the action OF the Reading Rail-
road company, in Pennsylvania, in re-
ducing the working time of all its people
to eight hours, with corresponding re-
duction of their pay: action the company
was driven to take, not on account Of
any fault of its said employees, but be-
cause of a strike inaUgurated in the
mining regions some time ago and still
maintained. Another illustration of the
folly Of strikes on general principles is
illustrated in the ignominious failure of
the switchmen at indianapolis, move
ment that did not have even a sem
blance Of merit in it from its beginning
to its ending, but whose injurious effects
cannot but be felt by scores of persons
dependent upon their toll for support. 1t
Is gratifying to note in this connection
the revolution, so to speak, that is going
on in the popular mind on tins question
of strikes. We are rapidly emerging
from the reign of strikes to that of arbi-
tration, a change that must work 10 the
infinite betterment of everybody.

REPUBLICAN PROMISES VERIFIED

The Republicans alleged that no part
of the country would be so greatly bene-
fitted by high protective tariff as the
southern states. This the Democrats
denied. On November the people de-
cided that the tariff was not an Infamous
robber. Before the recent election it
was stated that 81, 800, 900 Of capital was
being held in allegiance until the result
of the election was known. SO soon as
Republican success was assured this vast
sum was dumped in and around Birm-
ingham, Alabama. The Manufacturer
Record, published in Baltimore, Md,
now comes to the front under date OF
November %, and shows that within one
week upwards Of 81, 500, 900 more capital
has been provided for investment in
manufacturing enterprises. 1t says:
Among the new enterprises is a So,
Co., 900 company composed of New Eng
land capitalists organized at Fort Payne,
Ala, to develop mineral land, build fur
naces, a rolling mill, etc. at Knoxville,
q 100000 slate quarrying company and
a 100000 improvement company, to
build street railroads, etc.: at OsCeOla,
Fla, a 100000 general improvement
company; Baltimore a $500, 900 agricul-
tural implement company: Ell Paso a
$3.50, 900 irrigation company; a $500, 900
company Will build manufacturing

frage in Kansas is q one-sided thing.
Now as the people of Kansas have in
various ways emphatically said that no
such foolishness is wanted in this state,
and as the great majority Of the women
are opposed to 1t, and as the Republican
party are opposed to it, nine Of ten, why
not make it an issue and bounce from
