ATTICA AND RRR SUGAR MILL.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
L have Just returned from a trip
through Harper county. Certainly the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum
cane is attracting much attention in
southern Kansas just now. Attica has
just completed the largest and finest
plant yet built in Kansas. 1t has cost
over one hundred thousand dollars, has
capacity of two hundred and fifty tons
of cane per day Of twenty-four hours,
supplied with an abundance of hydrant
water and lighted throughout by electric
ity. The early cane is now ready for
use, and the plant starts in with force
of fifty men on duty, of eight hours
three sets Of men each twenty-four hours;
thus giving employment to one hundred
and fifty men. The company is paying
good wages to the men and two dollars
per ton for cane, including seed, leaves,
stock and all. The farmers who are de
hvering cane told me the cane was yield
ing from sixteen to twenty tons per acre,
and on first breaking, from ten to twelve
tons. One man and his hired hand cut
and hauled, distance of two miles,
seven tons, on Saturday after
noon, WlJu TWO lCailS. InIS man
know to be very
reliable, truthful man. He told me his
cane was making from seventeen to
twenty tons per acre, and that off about
sixty acres he would clear above cost of
gathering and hauling about one tnous-
and dollars. lie, with many other
farmers, subscribed some stock in the
plant in payment Of which he gets a
credit OF fifty cents on each ton deliver
ed and S1.5O cash. The crop is perfect
wherever planted and cultivated.
The farmers are feeling quite san
guine: land is jumping up in price with
III three or four miles Of the plant and
Attica, which until recently was quite
dull. is booming, with her houses oc-
cupied and her citizens full of courage
and hope. She has also one of the best
creamery plants in the state.
Now. one thing is certain: if this COM
panv can make sugar at profit and give
employment TO this number of men. and
pay s. per ton for cane. or even 81 per
ton. that land within four miles OF this
plant viii no longer so begging at SO
per acre, but must and viii be worth in
the immediate future, at least 500 per
acre. And it is equally certain that The
sugar trust IS broken and il will not
much longer take q buShel oats to buy a

THE CORRECT DOCTRINE.

The opinion and sentiment of a large
number of people in this country-it
might safely be said, we believe, a large
majority-is Enthusiastically reflected in
the resolution adopted Thursday by the
federation of Republican clubs of Mary
land in convention at Baltimore. The
civil service law is a delusion and a
snare and under its operations the very
thing that is desired, i. e., the efficiency
of the service is defeated. Ii
sounds plausible enough to talk
about making efficiency the test
for an appointment to the civil
service of the government rather than
party fealty, but when it is practically
applied experience has proven that the
object is not accomplished under the
operation of the law with any greater
certainty than before the law was
enacted. The party that is placed in
control of the government is held by the
people 10 account for its administration
III detail, and 1t is absurd to suppose that
the question of the capabihty of those
appointed TO perform public service
would be wholly ignored and party 10y
atty alone considered. The principle of
the law is that notwithstanding one of
the political parties is triumphant it
either has not in its ranks men of suffi-
Gent capacity TO administer the govern
ment, or if it has it cannot be trusted to
choose them, although the party in con-
troll must necessarily RELY upon the eff
cheney of the service for popular ap-
proval and continued control Compe-
tency on the part OF those in the public
service is question of the first import
ance, TO be sure, but hearty cooperation
in the policy and underlying PRINCIPLES
of the administering party is also an
essential qualification. If 4 party Is 10
be held Irresponsible for the manner III
which ii conducts the business of the
government it should be given the privi-
lege. as ii has the moral right, to call to
the service those in full sympathy
xith it.
The civil service law IS the result, not
so much of public necessity as Of the
demand of a coterie of disanpointed
politicians who by force of the peculiar
circumstances Of the hour were given
the balance of power, and should have
been repealed long ago. The even bal
ance between the two leading parties Is
a stronger guaranty for efficiency in the
public service than any law that could
be enacted on that subject and executed
10 the letter, for the reasons stated.
Down with the fraud.
Wichita eagle., 1889-08-31

There is an anomaly down south; the
loud mouthed politicians and newspaper
dangerous are for free trade, while the
rank and file are for protection
City Gazette.
An anomaly it were, indeed, if true,
for everywhere else and III that quarter
too, no doubt, in everything else, the
newspapers lead or reflect the public SEN
timent Of their communities, while the
politicians are found on the populir side
when they have had opportunity to find
out which it is. We suspect that public
sentiment in the south has not under
gore much change on the tariff question.
A prominent politician a statesman, as
they are want to designate him II de-
clares that the sentiment down there is
drifting the other way, that is, becoming
more pronounced anti-protection. What
little hope we had of political reforma-
ton in the south was pretty thoroughly
dashed by the recent election IN Ken
lucky. But after all it makes very lit
tie difference as far as the result of ma
tlonal elections is concerned: the Repub-
lican party has demonstrated its ability
to gain and retain the ascendency in
spite of the solid south.

PLUMB ON IRRIGATION

While in Kansas City Thursday, en-
route to Chicago, Senator Plumb said to
representative of the Globe of that
place regarding the Investigations Of the
senate committee on irrigation for the
western plains:
Il think that when our report is pre-
scented to congress some favorable action
VIII be taken in the matter. l believe
irrigation to be the only salvation for
some parts of the northern and eastern
country But just how this is to be done
is the question that is now agitating the
commission. In some places it can be
accomplished with comparatively small
outlay Of money, but in many sections
of western Kansas and eastern Colorado
it will require the outlay of millions of
money to make al attempt at irriga-
ton. The irrigation ditch through
Ford and other counties works all right
when there is sufficient water in the
river it taps. A number Of very large
reservoirs will probably be built in the
arid districts, which Will be supplied
With water at favorable seasons of the

SOUTHERN CROPS.
T. L. DANA,
LS
chairman.
Secretary.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: Nearly all the crop reports re-
ports received at this point continue to
be of highly favorable tenor, and indi-
cate that the relative advance in general
crop conditions, which commenced about
the middle OF June, has kept up steadily
since that period. 1t is considered now
that we have a good sugar crop prac-
tically assured, and which, though posi-
bly, subjected to such unseen factors as
drought, storm or early autumnal freeze,
is calculated at about the same figure as
the crop OF 1888. With a similar har-
vesting season it would be larger. 1t is
highly satisfactory to note the number
of sugar houses being equipped with val
liable modern improvements this year.
In every part of the sugar district. from
Orleans Parish to Nermillion, such I'M
portant work is being done. On some
of the largest central factories as much
as $4,000 or S40,0 00 is being invested in
improvements this year. while in many
other less extensive establishments as
much as $4,000 Will be devoted the
same purpose.
COTTON.
While in almost every direction the
growth and general condition of the cot
ton plant is reported as excellent, and
that the rainfall has ceased to be too i'm
moderate for that sun plant. the wormv
spots are mentioned as becoming more
and more numerous in the crop. Their
presence entails greater expense on the
cultivation of the fields involved in the
purchase of insecticides but such
money devoted to buying Paris green
and other poisons for the purpose Of
worm destruction would result in great
profit in saving the cotton fields from
damage.
As our rice crop rapidly approaches
maturity, ana soon the harvest will be in
full blast. we are furnished information
from several OF the rice parishes that the
Tmes-DemOcrat estimate of the prob
able product Is apparently very near cor
rect. The figures that we have predicted
for the last four weeks are two-thirds OF
crop or about 600.000 bushels.
We hope that no new mllIers combine
will he formed among the rice mill
owners Of this city To Try to control the
rough rice market and direct as to how
the crop should be handled. Such a
combine last year caused general dissat-
isfac;ion among the rice planters through
ont the rice region. It Is the duty of
these mills TO DO all they can to help this
great industry. To inIure II would only
result in hurting themselves.

In many parts of Kansas the farmers
are unable to secure sufficient help TO
garner their crops of grain. Here are
splendid openings for the multitude OF
Kansas City business men to get employ

THE TENDENCY OF OUR COMMERCE

The nature and direction of our export

lures, an increase of $4,000. GOO. There

There was marked increase in our
exports to countries upon this continent.
We sent more agricultural implements
to Canada, Mexico, West Indies, Argen-
tine Republic and other South American
countries than we did during the pre-
ceeding year. Notwithstanding the
marked falling off in the total exports of
wheat -four, we increased our send
ings to British North America by
nearly a million, and to Mexico, West
and South America by a proportionate
amount. Seventy four per cent. of our
wheat -four went TO Europe in 1888, as
against only 81 per cent. in 1889. A little
less than half Of our exports of cotton
cloths went to our northern and southern
neighbors in 1888, but in 1899 that pro-
portion was increased to more than one
half. The total exports fell off $4,000, 600
yards, but those to American countries
decreased only 20,000,000 yards. Elk
ports of sewing machines, which form
quite a feature of our exports of manu-
features of iron and steel, were proper
tlonately greater in Mexico and South
American countries than they were else
where. The increase in exports Of steam
engines and other machinery is made up
by the increased quantities we sent TO
countries upon our own continent. The
value OF our lumber export to South
America also increased VisiblY.

A good deal is being said by the press
of Kansas just now about the resigna-

Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
company, the causes that led 10 it, and
its probable effect upon the future bust
ness of the company. MIR. Strong's
resignation was, evidently, the first step
towards reorganization of the manage
ment of the road and a change Of its
business policy, all Of which will no
doubt be more of a matter of regret than
surprise to many towns and cOmmunl-
ties in this state. These changes, while
they possibly may not inre to the eX-
