SyIYDLED BY 4 SUGAR COMPANE.
KANSAS FARMERS VOTING BONDS FOR A DIS
HONEST CORPORATION.


HONEST CORPORATION
Kansas City. Dec ia dispatch to The Journal"
from roneka Kan. SAYS A Swiude has been per-
netrated upon the farmers of at least two coynties
IN this state and it is feared may be found TO be
even more far-reaching than is yet known Ihe
amount involved in the swindle IS over Sloo'ooo'
The American sugar Company. OF Kansas, was char
tered about a year ago. Its agents built mill TO
manufacture sugar from sorghum at Reade Centre
The product from the mill was exceptional in both
nualty and quantity The farmers, who saw new
Industry added to ths State, were jubilant over It's
success and when the company proposed that the
different townships should vote bonds 10 1t for the
extension Of its works they fell in with the plan
readily and bonds the amount of 100000 were
voted and the scrip turned over to the company. Az
Ashland Clark County, the same plan was pursued
and bonds to the amount of $4,000 were voted by
the farmers Of that county. Although nothing def-
mite is known as to the company's transactions In
other parts of the state is believed that one or two
other western counties also induced TO vote
bonds to the company to provide means 10 erect
sugar mills Two of the employees OF Messrs. Emerson
A. Painter I'm the Reade Centre mill suspected some
sharp practice by the company. They investigated
and reported the authorities here that the manager
had mixed pure sugar with sorghum syrup IN guam
titles sufficient produce superior sugar In pOntaDle
quantities from a small cane product. The residents
6f two Of the townships of Meade County called on
fhe manager Of the mill, and in the presence of the
sheriff compelled him TO destroy the bonds Voted 10
the company The bonds of the other townships nave
been negotiated. IL believed that no legal action
can be taken against the sugar company.

STANLEY MATTHEW'S.

The announcement of the death of JUS
tice STANLEY MATHEWS of the United
States supreme court was not unlocked for
Indeed, it has been expected at any time
for months past, his fatal illness having
been of long duration. The dead justice
was nearly G5 years Of age. He was an
able lawyer and for many years a success
ful one. In politics he was a Republican,
his partisarship being of the most pro
nounced character. 1t was because of the
intensity of his Republicanism and the
prominence which he had attained in his
party through his appearance before
the electoral commission of 1876, and his
bitter speeches in the Senate, that much
adverse criticism was excited when Presi-
dent GARFIELD placed him on the supreme
bench in 1881. 1t is doubted if any other
man ever became member of that tribunal
in defiance of so much popular opposition
as that which faced MATTHEWS, his political
course having been such as to cause many
Republicans as well as Democrats to think
that his appointment was improper. On
the bench his great legal ability was recog-
nized, and there was no complaint that he
permitted politics to warp his judgment
In other W ords he made good judge, and
with credit and honor rounded off his
career

of the Louisville Courier-Jotn1,dl sending it
out. 1t is said that last week prominent
Republican politician from Southern
Indiana appeared in Washington as an
application an English consulship. Search
ing out his old friend Colonel DUDLEY, he
requested the latter to present him to the
President with a personal Endorsement.
The colonel is reported as saying:
81 have not met the President since the
election, and have no influence with him
whatever. l feel quite sure of this. 1
would have to ask you to do for me what
you request me to DO for you, if had any
favor to ask, which I have not" The
applicant for Office pressed the matter no
further, but took the first train for home
The correspondent also vouches for the
correctness of gossip in political circles to
the effect that a day or so after the arrival
of the HARRISON party in Washington,
Private Secretary HALFoRD wrote note
to Colonel w. w. DUDLEY, to the effect
that the President sympathized deeply
with him on account of the criticism and
obloquy cast upon him by reason of his
"blocks of fve'' letter, but requested him
not to call or attempt any personal commu-
nication, as it might embarrass the incom-
ing administration. Colonel DUDLEY,
piqued and chagrined, replied that he was
not in need Of sympathy from any one;
that he had done nothing of which he was
ashamed, and that he had no favors to ask
AT the inauguration ball, Colonel and Mrs.
DUDLEY met face to face the President and
Mrs. HARRISON, and were presented with
hundreds of others. The President greeted
Colonel DUDLEY as if he were a perfect
stranger, and, after hesitating a moment,
presented Mrs. DUDLEY to Mrs. HARRISON.
People who admire honesty in politics as
well as in the other walks of life, will ap-
plaud President HARRISON for his course
in this matter. DUDLEY may be power in
politics, but his friendship hereafter will
be good thing for candidates to avoid.

BISMARCK HEDGES.

The German white book on Samoan af
| fairs, to which a Berlin dispatch refers this
morning, is very interesting reading. 1t
shows that the German position has been
completely reversed, and that the imperial
government is now as anxious as the other
powers to live by the terms of the agree
ment between Great Britain, the United
States and Germany as to the Samoan is
lands. knappe, the consul under whose
orders the outrages were committed, and
who claimed to be acting according to in
structions from Berlin, comes in for Sc
we're scolding for having exceeded his
authority. Bismarck will never be able to
convince anybody in this country that
Knappe acted on his own responsibility in
the matter German officials are the most
careful in the world to keep within the
lines marked out for them by superiors.
These lines may be laid down in written in
structions, or may be otherwise defined,
but officials keep within them. Everything
goes to show that it was reckless, desper-
ate bluff which Bismarck was running
through his man Knappe, and when the
chancellor discovered that his play would
hOU De perlllGIeu lSFeSdIS Ulc move ana pre-
tends to sacrifcehis offending subordinate.
Until the late consul had been heard from,
or. at least, until it is seen that he is &C
tually out of the good graces of BISMARCK,
no showing in the white book viii be ac-
cepted as proof that KNAPPE has really
offended his master. If the United States
had quietly submitted, if this country had
shown no fighting disposition, the consurs
course would have been approved and APP
plauded by his government, and he would
have been retained until the annexation of
Samoa to Germany was complete.
1t will be relief to the people of Amer
lea to learn that BISMARCK has gracefully
accepted the situat on aud gotten into har-
mony with the other powers as to Samoan
affairs. Matters may now be arranged
satisfactorily without a resort to arms and
the Slmoans will retain control of their
own country, being protected in their rights
by the United States and Great Britain, if
not by Germany
