IT is intimated that the President
elect will surprise the cabinet makers
when he finally sends his list to the
senate; and 10 consequence several
new names are mentioned as cabinet
possibilities. In connection with the
treasury department., Mckinley and
Butterworth constitute the dark team
in close pursuit of the Iowa Senator.
The title of Attorney General would
seem to fit the name of Senator Evarts
to nicely; and Justice Miller, of the
supreme court has long been suspect
ed of entertaining ambitions outside OF
his safe and honorable position on the
bench. IL is stated with considerable
certainty that Senator Allison has
positively declined the treasury port
folio, and equally positive statements
are made to the effect that Mr.. Blaine
has accepted the position of Secretary
of State.

The Senate on the End, unanimously
adopted the majority report of the
committee on education, adverse to
adoption of a uniform standard of
school books to be furnished by the
State. During the discussion 1t was
shown that California, the only State
having such law, pays a higher rate
for books than almost any other State
in the Union.
Representative Lacy has introduced
a bill authorizing school district No. 16
to vote bonds for the purpose Of boring
or drilling a well for gas or coal. on
ground owned by the district.
The House the other day passed
bill taking away from school boards
the right to assign colored children to
certain city schools.

II SEEMS that the opening of Okla
homa is not so near at hand as has
been supposed since the passage of the
Springer bill. A Washington dispatch
of the End says:
An important proviso of the Okla
homa bill passed by the House yester.
day, which has so far escaped general
attention, is one reciting that nothing
i'm the act organizing the territory,
shall be construed to authorize any
person to enter upon, or occupy any of
the lands In the Cherokee outlet and
Oklahoma proper, for settlement or
otherwise, until after the Indian tribes
and the commissioners provided for in
the bill have concluded an agreement
TO that effect. After the agreement
has been made it shall be laid before
the President, who is authorized and
required to issue a proclamation de-
claring such unrelinquished lands
open to settlement, and fix the time
from and after which the lands may be
taken.
Nis provided that any person aUho
may enter on any part of the lands
contrary to these provisions, and pri-
or to the time .fred by the Presidents
proclamation, shall not BE permitted
to make entry upon any lands or lay
any claim thereto in the territory.

THE assassination Of John NJ. Clay.
ton at Plummersville last week is at
tracing wide attention and drawing
forth the bitterest condemnation. He
was one of the most prominent citizens
and republican leaders of Arkansas.
The peculiar atrocity of the murder
consists in the fact that 1t was un-
doubtedly a purely political crime.
John M. Clayton ran against c. II.
Breckenridge for Congress, and was
contesting the seat. The ballot box OF
Plummersville township was stolen
and was supposed to contain
a majority Of votes for Clayton, who,
with Carroll Armstrong, chairman Of
the congressional committee was in.
vestigating the matter. While Clay.
ton was preparing for bed, in his room
at the hotel, charge of buckshot was
fired through the window taking effect
in the neck and right side of the head
killing him instantly. The officers
have no clue to the assassin.

COMPETENT SUGAR MAKERS WANTED


We have very frequently call
ed attention to the very small
number of competent sugar-makers ir
this country and have suggested
several ways of increasing the number
among Others that department be es.
tablished at the agricultural college
and that students of that instiru ton
go to the sugar factories when in oper.
alton and learn the work in detail. In
line with those suggestions here is an
extract from a lette, from Senator
Plub to Ex-Governor Click. The
letter was not written for publication,
but there will be no violation of con-
fidence in giving to the public matter
of such merit aud of SO much present
importance as this:
The legislature ought to require that every
factory which accepts OF q state bounty shall
submit its processes to inspection by proper
persons, and especially that it should permit
instruction Of students and others from the
Agricultural college, and perhaps open q wild
er door. III some OF the students Were 10 20 to
the Fort Scott and Topeka factories during the
coming year, take the place of the common la
bOrer, work through the entire season, learn
ing The mechanical part, others OF them learn
ing the scientific part Of the work, and ell I'M
der the direction of the professors Of The col
Iege, Ee should have taken long step in the
right direction. IL the college would devote
Itself to the development o this industry for
the next ten years it would have q better claim
for support from the sta to than it can have in
any other way. II the Legislature should give
a bounty, as I think it ought, it should provide
for its continuation for q certain number OF
wears, say ten. 1t is going to AXE number OF
years to get the manufacture of sugar under
way to an extent that will make any very
greet show. A single beet sugar factory in
California Last yesr made nearly ten times as
rnuch sugar as was made by all the factories
IN Ksnsas. Capital has there been forthcom-
ing IL takes time to get the machinery ready,
aad il will be another year at least, before
there can be any considerable number of fac
tories erected, but BY that time our people
ought to become postsd to Sn extent that will
permit the erection Qf . dozen or fifteen fec
3ories year from thence on.
