A War on Kansas Joints.

The original package decision has aroused
the prohibition police of Kansas to such an
extent that a systematic war is to be made
upon all keepers of original package joints.
A special from Leavenworth says:
'This city is 500 to experience a cru
sade against liquor sellers, the like of
which has never been written in its history.
This morning Police Commissioner Lowe
demanded of Marshal Doane and his po-
lieemen the names of all persons who had
taken out joint license and liquor permits
within six months, the location Of all joints
or suspected places Of that kind, and the
names and place of all persons against
whom injunctions have been issued"
Other Kansas towns report similar &C
ton, and until the original package ques-
ton is settled. there will be a merry war.

Iowa's Joint Rate Bill.

The railroad commissioners, at their re-
cent conference with the railroud man
ayers, gave the latter to understand that
there must be joint rates in Iowa or a fight.
The managers were reminded of their fire.
quent assertions before the joint rate law
passed that they did not put in the joint
rate because the law prohibited it and their
attention was celled to the permissive ac-
ction Of the new law and to the require
ment of good faith that they do as they had
promised. This seems to have had 9 salu-
tary effect and the roads have decided to
put in voluntary joint tariffs. They will
probably not be given to all points, but
shippers at such places can appeal to the
commissioners, who will order the roads to
give them equal treatment. The commits
sioners to-day received a letter from Cen
eral Solicitor Wright, of the Rock Island,
saying: ia view of the permission or
authority contained in the first section of
the so-called joint rate law and without
reference to or recognition of any other
portions Of said law, l I'm instructed to
say that the several companies having
headquarters here have under consideration
the formation Of certain joint tariffs. l
am directed to advise you of this, for the
reason that it is thought the board may
have, pending the conclusion of the roads,
some inquiry touching action to be had on
the subject, and it. is supposed that in no
event would any such action be taken un-
til the roads had acted in the premises"

BOUND TO COME N.
An I,npossibility to Keep Cinnamon Out q
the United States.

An linpossibility to Keep Cinnamon Out of
the United States.
The secretary Of the treasury has trans
mitted to the senate a report from Datus E.
Coon, Chinese inspector at San Diego.
CAL, with respect to evasions of the Chi
nese exclusion act. Mr.. Coon says 1t is
true that the Chinese are coming into the
United States despite the efforts of the
customs department to keep them out.
Commenting upon charges that the Scott
exclusion act is a failure, Mr.. Coon sayst that
this IS practically true. Mr.. Coon suggests
treaty negotiations with the British gov
eminent and Mexico looking to the exclu-
sion Of the Chinese, and says Chinese ex-
cluslon legislation would then be very
simple. Without such treaties the ex-
cluslon of Chinese by peaceful means is an
undertaking of great magnitude, owing to
the practical impossibility of policing the
thousands of miles of boundary line. The
Morrow and other bills, MIR. Coon declares,
are defective in that they provide for the
return of the Chinese to the country
whence they came. Even the children
laugh when told of this law, for they know
that the Chinaman returned to Mexico will
be eating his breakfast in the United
States the next day.

WASHINGTON VIKINGS.
FARMERS WANT $4,000, 900 WITH
WHICH TO BUILD WAREHOUSES;.

Opinions That the Recent "Original Pack
License Northwestern congressman
Will Stand Together for Liberal River
and Harbor Appropriations, Etc.
If the opinions of some eminent men
are correct, the recent original package"
decision by the supreme court is of as
much interest in a high license state as in
Iowa or any other prohibition state. The
opinion is expressed freely that it applies
to high license as we'll as prohibition laws.
Senator Hoar has taken occasion to ex-
press himself to that effect. Ex-Gov.
Dingley, who represents a district of
Maine in the lower house, and who is
counted 9 clear-headed lawyer, had ex-
pressed the opinion that the decision ap-
plies precisely to high license as it does to
prohibition. The position which these
men are forced to take is that if the pas
sage of a law prohibiting the sale of
liquor in original packages" is uncon-
stitutional interference in Interstate
commerce, the passage Of a law
license for selling original packages" is
an interference Of precisely tho same ma
ture. Senator Hoar went so far as to say
that under the decision the power of the
state to regulate the sale by local OPP
ton, prohibition OF license we're alike un-
lawful. II an original package" may be q
pint flask OF q sealed miniature demijohn
containing a single drink, the effect on the
sale in high license states would prac-
tically exempt outside shippers, who could
do an almost retail business under the OPP
GRAFTON of the state law. A new bill has
been introduced by Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa,
comforting on the states the power to reg
ulate the handling of imported liquors, to
which thu same objection was made on the
ground that this power could not be dele
gated to the states. A good deal of appre-
tension is expressed from men from high
license states that the decision will seri
orsly affect the working of the law.

NORTHyyEsTERN CONGRESSMEN
They Will Stand Together for -.lber.
River and Harbor Appropriations.

They Will Stand Together for -Aberal
River and Harbor Appropriations.
Considerable opposition is being devel-
opsd to the river and harbor bill, but there
is no probability that it will be put off I'M
til next session, as suggested in the same
report, but will probably be taken up as
soon as the tariff bill is out of the way.
The delegation from Washington is not al
together satisfied with the bill and will
make a strong fight to amend it in the
senate, even at the expense of Oregon.
The Washington senators are already pre-
pared to make a fight for their state and
have introduced and had referred to the
commerce committee amendments to the
bill covering the points needing immediate
attention. The Oregon people are willing
that Washington shall get all that is pos
sible, but will object to any changes OF the
expense of their state. In the latter
state improvements have been going on
partially for years, and in the present bill
provision is made for the expenditure of
sufficient sums to make improvements in
stead of barely keeping up the work begun
years ago. Senator Allen says that the new
state senators will have something to say
upon the appropriation for surveys. and
that all will stand together upon the ques-
ton when it comes up for consideration in
the senate. The senators from North and
South Dakota and Montana have joined in
and will work together to secure something
like just appropriation. The senate com
mittee on has began consid-
Grafton of the bill as reported to the house
SO as to be able to make a prompt report
on it to the senate when it reaches there.
Speaking of the action of the committee,
Chairman Frye said he had no doubt the
bill would pass the house.

FARMERS ALLIANCE HEARING.
ss1s,ooo.ooo wantcd to Build Warehouse

SIG 1000 Wanted to Build Warehouses.
The hearing of the Farmers alliance
representative was continued by the ways
and means committee. MIR. Livingston,
the national lecturer of the organiza-
ton, took W the argument. He
quoted President Lincoln's prophecy that
the corporations would be enthroned;
that the property of the country would be
concentrated and the republic itself over
thrown. Thank God the last prediction
was not fulfilled. but the others had been.
One-twentieth of the people owned three
ffths of the property. If congress refused
to approve the sub-treasury plan, then let
it remove the restrictions hedging in the
national banking system. The farmers
would say nothing about trusts
and combinations and the con-
centration of money if they could
hold their crops in sub-treasuries ard were
not compelled. as at present, to sell them
at stated times. 1t would be q godsend
to the country to pass the sub-treasury
bill for the reason, il for no other, that
there would not be q bucket shop left in
the United States. The day of specuIa-
liou ! SIops Woulu De OoHeA"av Win anu
the producer and consumer would be
brought together.
Sixteen million dollars would build all
the warehouses the alliance wanted.
What good were river and harbor i'm
provements to the debt-ridden, oppressed
farmer?
In conclusion be said that if the COM
mittee thought q landed basis best; if they
could not accept a crop basis, let them put
it in the bill. do something to relieve
the farmers. Don't make it a question of
tariff or politics, but let the bill stand on
it's merits"

MORE TROUBLE FOR BRAZIL.
Threatened Complications Between Tha,
Republic and Italy.

Threatened Complications That
Republic and Italy.
The Paris Debats ridicules the explana-
lion said to be advanced by the United
States secretary of tbs navy that the
squadron Of evolution was ordered from
European waters to improve its discipline,
relaxed by too frequent communication
with the shore and indulgence in the pleas
ures Of the agreeable Mediterranean sta
ton. The officers and men have not been
favored in this respect more than has been
customary, and other reasons, the French
journals think. must be sought. The wish
is probably father to the thought that the
squadron is sent to Brazil in view of the
republic and Italy. The Figaro maliciously
hints that the latter power is being egged
on by Germany. The number of Ger
mans in Brazil has been lessened by the
return of many who were engaged in COM
mercial enterprises there and who look to
their native government for compensation
for the disturbance to their business. The
agricultural %colonists, on the contrary,
have remained and appear to be content
with their lot. They constitute the bulk
Of the settlers there, but the representa-
tives of capital invested in trade at the
large ports have considerable in1u-
ence and their complaints will prob
ably cause much embarrassment
for Brazil. As Italy has a grievance
against the South American power, it will
be better to allow her to take the initiative
and then excuses will not be lacking for
Germany to sustain the Italian demands.
The principal one will be the threatened
ruin to the German rubber manufacturing
industry by the advance in the raw mate
rial and the alleged favoring of United
States dealers in that line of trade. France
would witness with the greatest COM
placency any attempted bullying of Brazil
by Italy, confident that the United States,
as shown by its late action, will warn any
European power against unwarranted hos
tilities in the western hemisphere.
Extracts from Mr.. Powderly's article

Cheaper Binding Irvine.

Farm, Stocb and Home, an agricultural
paper of Minneapolis, is in receipt of an
unofficial report from one of the commit
tee recently sent east to reinvestigate the
subject Of manufacturing binding Irvine at
the state prison. 1t will be remembered
that R. j. Hall, president of the State
Farmers alliance, recently asserted that a
plant capable of making $500 pounds Of
Irvine daily could be placed in the prison
for less than $4,000, and there was
plenty of room and power there
for the accommodation and opera
ton, and an abundance of labor
sufficiently intelligent and skillful to per-
form the necessary manual labor. This
claim differed SO radically from the report
of the commissioners appointed by the
governor last summer, which was that it
would require from ST., 600, 900 to So, 0OO,-
900 to erect the plant, and it would then
be a question whether the state could fur
nish the Irvine OF o lower price than private
manufacturers were doing it. The new
comittee has now been east some two
weeks, and the following letter from n
of it's members is the first news received
from it:
PATERSON, N. j., Mays, 1s9o.-Editor of the
Farm Stock and Home.-We have caught our
rabbit, and will proceed to cook it when We get
back home. We find that Mr.. Todd has got
just the machinery we have been looking for.
and we have seen it in operation. Yesterday
we visited his works at Paterson, N. j., and
saw him take the common Canada tow and
make it into binding Irvine. I have q ball OF
the Irvine in my pos: ession which 1 watched
from the first process to the finished article. L
send by expre.s another ball which l saw made,
SO that you can show it to all who are inter
ested in the matter. The trust" is now in ses-
sion in this city, and I think are trying to
catch on" to our racket. but we have got too
much light to be hoodwinked at this stage of
the game.
The tow of which this Irvine is made cost. at
Paterson, 4 cents, and it can be manufactured
into Irvine for l9 cents. SO it might be fur
nished at saltwater ut Il cost not to exceed 6
cents a pound. Freight to any part Of Min
nesota OF Dakota Of l cent makes it not moro
than Z cents. The sample sent runs about 500
feet to tho pound, but is considerably heavier
tan is necessary.
