Very few people ever stopto

None more so than the mod

Gloves have played an i'm

the world. Even SO insignifi-
cant an accessory as this has
stirred up strifes that ended in
national conflicts.

The olden knight threw

INSPECTOR OF OIL.
From the State Capital.

From the State Capital.
Hon. A. H. Carpenter, of Wichita, is
to be state inspector of oils. The law
authoring the appointment of an oil in
spector was made at the last session of
the legislature, being one of the last acts
of the session. According to provision
of the law it is to go into effect on the
25th of this month by publication in the
statute books In order to give the in
spector an opportunity to prepare HIM
self and be ready to enter upon the duties
of the office when the law goes into eff
feet, the governor announced in advance
Yesterday that as soon as the law was
published he would appoint Mr.. Carpen-
ter. He is one of the prominent young
Republicans of the state. He has for
several years been editor of the Valley
Center News, in Sedgwick county. In
1887 he was a member of the legislature
from Sedgwick county, being the young
est member of that body. He is an ac-
tice Republican and his appointment will
be very gratifying to the young Repub-
lican element.
Mr.. Carpenters salary consists of the
fees received from the dealers in oils.
Every barrel of oil coming into the state
must be subjected to the test provided by
law and stamped by the inspector. He
Is allowed five deputies to assist him.
His salary is not to exceed 81 200 year,
and all fees above that amount are to be
turned into the state treasury.
Wichita eagle., 1889-05-19
THE ARID LAND QUESTION.

Senator Pugh opposes the reclamation
upon the grounds that appropriations for
such purpose is unconstitutional, also
that there is as yet no demand for such
lands, and again. that private enterprise
is best able to take such matters in hand.
To the first objection it may be claim
ed that there need be no fear but such
appropriations can be granted under
some general provision without conflict
ing with the constitution. Heretofore
money has been appropriated for boring
artesian wells, and thereby making
available the surrounding lands, why
not for storage reservoirs or irrigating
purposes? As for the last objection
the senator should remember
that capital would be tardy about
investing in these enterprises
unless such large land concessions were
granted that would prove to it pretty
profitable scheme if successful, and the
time has about come when this govern
ment should be less prodigal in such
bonuses to spectators.
That there is sufficient lands for all de-
mands now, and for years to come, as
the senator claims, may be true in fact,
vet the recent remarkable immigration
into Oklahoma and toward the Sioux
reservation would seem to indicate that
more opportunities would not be refused
by our enterprising home seekers.
There is another feature of the case
that presents itself. The opening up of
new territory in remote and heretofore
unsettled sections would diversity the
population, and build up such territory
into valuable producing lands, that
would not only add large business to the
communicating railroads, but aid the
wealth of those states. This govern
ment is rich enough to reach out its
hand and aid in the development Of its
Agricultural resources. Agriculture is
the backbone of ali countries, and none
offer such possibilities as this, and vet
none has done so little in a national way
to encourage the cultivation Of the soil
Now that there is an agricultural re-
preventative in the cabinet we may hope
| that more attention will be directed to
/ this feature of our national wealth.

POOR FRED ORTMAN,

Fred Ortman, the little fair-haired,
blue-eyed German Of Topeka, whom we
noticed the other day as having been
overtaken by misfortune and sent to
jail for selling liquor, has been adJudged
insane apd an old friend, kind hearted
man who has known him ever since the
early days, wills. Gordon, has been ap-
pointed his guardian. Now let Topeka
take care of him and see to it that he
never comes to want. Wichita is &C
counted "hard lot by the average
Topekan, but when one of our first set
tiers, few years since, became incapa-
bic of taking care of himself, some OF
our citizens bought him lot and house
and he was clothed and fed and made
comfortable, and was welcomed to
whichever house he might happen to
present himself, and even to two of our
principal hotels. They bought him a
great luxurious easy chair and set it in
the chancel of one of our biggest
could be seen almost every Sun
day contentedly sleeping the hours Of
worship away. They provided him
free admission to the shows, ETC., and
when he died one day last February they
buried him with a touching sermon and
tender song. and Father Bliss now peace
fully sleeps on the quite slope of the
hill. The men who did this were not
all church members, not even all pro-
hibltionists, some Of them not by long
shot--but such persistent charity covers
amultitude of sins, at least in the eyes
of men. Topeka may have no sins to
cover, such as have marked the career
of wicked Wichita, bnt if the people Of
that city viii permit degenerate organ
like the EAGLE to say it, they will attain
to higher seat in Christ's blessed king
dom by shielding the unhappy little vic
tim of capricious fate, poor Fred Ort-
man from further misfortune, than
they ever could by building costly
churches or by the dedication of great
temples to temperance.

laws, about one-fourth of which provides
that they shall take effect on publication
in the statute book and will become laws
on the day on which the book is pub

misunderstanding, and that it may be
definitely known first when the new
laws are in force. the governor has desig-
mated May 25 as the day. The most I'M
