THE orators at yesterdays meeting
of the republican league at Topeka diff
fered somewhat as to the outcome OF
the presidents southern policy of ig-
noring the negro in building up white
mans party down there. There were
no differences, however, about another
matter, tO-wit: the want of loyalty
intelligence and decency in the demo
cratic party.
SECRETARY RUsK was chosen for the
cabinet as representative of the ag-
ricultural classes. To prove that the
selection was good one, and that his
knowledge of agricultural matters is
thorough and profound, he goes out in
his front yard occasionally and swings
his scythe with old timed grace and eff
feet. Jerry means to show that there
are no flies on him, no, nor chinch bug
either, though there may be littl'
hay seed in his long hair.

The legal documents from the SUI
pIeme court commanding Circuit
Court Traylor to issue writ of re-
plevin in the beer matter, will arrive in
a day or two. OF course the writ will
be issued as prayed for, and the beer,
if we understand the matter rightly,
will be taken from the custody of the
state and transferred to Easter, the
Kansas City man, who will do with it
as he thinks proper. Thus ends that
matter, most .ingloriOusly for all con-
cerned. We have thus seen car load
of beer brought into the city, stored on
the most public thoroughfare in
town, and Il part of it
sold and the money received
for it. The authorities stop the sale,
and confiscate the beer. Yet in spite
of these facts, as palpable and open as
day, the legal machinery of the state
has so far been unable to punish anyone
for plain and obvious violation of the
law. Nay more, it has, with the aid of
an intelligent jury, not only failed to
convict anyone for thus openly and
] fiagrantly trampling on law. but shown
that it could not even hold in its pos
session the contraband stuff confis-
Gated while being actually sold in VIC
lation of law. What a commentary on
our prohibition law!

David Rettiger of Strong City has in
vented a StOne-cutting machine that
does wonders. The Republican says
OF it: 1.-The machine consists of large
solid cast iron cylinder, six feet long
and eighteen inches in diameter.
Strong steel ehisels, two inches wide
are fastened to this with strong bolts.
They are arranged in V shape, so that
not more than two ehisels cut at the
same time. A carriage, similar to a
sawmill carriage, conveys the stone I'M
der this revolving cylinder. The CHS
els slowly shave the rough surface
from the stone, apparently with the
greatest ease. The speed is such that
a stone five feet two inches. the great
est width that can be cut, will run
through at the rate of SIX feet per min
ute. By an ingenious mechanism. the
large roller can be easily raised or low
cred, to admit any thickness of stone
up to five feet. 1t is estimated thai
this machine will do the work of from
twenty to forty stonecutters. A fif
teen-horse power engine furnishes thu
power.
