KANSAS AT PARIS, BAH

Mohler, secretary of the State Agri-
cultural society, whose methods are but
copies of Alfred Gray's, has been award

and thus we reap the reward of the five
thousand dollars expended to send an
other unknown to Paris to represent our
state. and who does not furnish this in
formation to the world, but by private
letter to Mohler. He says silver medal

REPUBLICANS IN DELANO.

The meeting held in Delano township
at BrinleyS school house, on Wednesday
evening. while not large one, owing to
the inclement weather, was most har-
monious Mr.. Samuel Bailey. a well
known farmer, presided, and exposed
himself in very forcible terms as being
enthusiastic for the Republican ticket
Remarks in the same strain were made
by Mr.. O. Il. Clark, q well known farmer
of Delano township. The meeting was
addressed at length by Hon. o. II. Bent
ley and Colonel Emmett Callahan, of
this city. Local issues were carefully
and logically treated. Uncle Tom Ran
dali is great favorite in Delano, and
was present at the meeting, also Messrs
Doran and Brown, candidates for treas
urer and sheriff. All of these gentlemen
are well known and deservedly popular
in Delano township. They will receive
the old time Republican vote in Delano.
1t was agreed at the meeting that the
election of county officials in Sedgwicl
county would not change the constitu-
ton of the state of Kansas.

ON THE HOME RUN.
Lawrence Tribune.

LANrence irlbIne-
The Wichita EAGLE is disturbed be-
cause corn is worth only fifteen cents a
bushel and base ball players bring tif-
teen thousand dollars each. 1t saws:
Fifteen thousand dollars for base ball
player when corn is worth but little
more than fifteen cents a bushel. is q
circumstance well calculated to make
the farmer think that pleasure is more
profitable than business, while it renders
it more difficult TO interest his boys and
keep them on the farm. \ general over
hauling of everything seems imperative. :"
But after all we have the consolation OF
thinking that after few years expert
ence in the diamond those fellows are
not able to even raise fifteen cent corn.
The farmer holds the age on the base
bali man in the long run.

PLUMB AND PETERS HERE.

Barber County Index,
Senator P. B. Plumb and Congress
man S. r. Peters arrived here Monday,
and remained until yesterday afternoon,
their mission being an inspection of the
sorghum plant at this place. They went
to the works Monday evening, and saw
every department in full working order,
by electric light. Yesterday they spent
the forenoon in further study Of the
works, being shown the details by
Messrs. Eldred & Human. the proprie-
tors. Prof. +. B. Cowgirl, w. w. Cook.
the government disbursing agent, and
II. Edison, the government chemist
Both gentlemen, who are enthusiasts on
the subject of sorghum sugar manufact-
ure, expressed qualification at the pro-
gresS made at the Medicine Lodge plant
They saw nearly 500 barrels OF inspected
sugar, that showed polarization of from
60 to 80 per cent. and this, they appeared
to think. would be enough. even if no
more were made this season. to con-
vince the most skeptical that sugar can
be made from sorghum cane. Senator
Plumb said that his mind was clear on
the subject now; that while 1t would
be necessary 10 make changes in the
machinery, such as experience would
suggest. he was satisfied that the princi-
pies followed here We're correct, and the
details could be mastered later. He said
that he felt that he could meet his col
league now with arguments for a con-
tinuation of the government aid for this
great industry, and that where, hereto
fore, he had to rely considerably on
hearsay evidence. he could now give
them the benefit OF his personal knowl-
edge, gained by careful examinations
These gentlemen will visit other sugar
houses in Kansas, and when congress
meets in December, they will unQues-
tlonably have much to say for the sor-
ghum industry in Southern Kansas

fNe-traders underlies the assertion, so
frequently made, that where industries
are protected the quality of the products
is inferior, owing to the indifference of
the native manufacturers. who fear
nothing from the rivalry of
better makers abroad, and that
people have therefore to pay a
higher price for worse article. A glance
at America will show how utterly I'M
founded this assumption is. The very
ground upon which Americans beat our
own and European manufacturers In
many neutral markets is that their arti-
Giles are quite as good as those OF their
rivals. The assertion. indeed, OF our
radical theorists that protection would
lead to an inferiority of manufacture is
based upon the absurd assumption that
there is no such thing as local competi-
