There is getting to be a good deal of
restlessness manifested throughout the
country at the slow progress made by
the senate with the tariff. In view of
the action of that body in endorsing the
bill by sections as reported by the COM
mittee. extended debate thereon would
seem to be a useless waste of time and a
resistance against the inevitable. And
yet, in view OF the apparent determina-
ton of the majority party to pass the
bill as presented. the discussion, even to
an unlimited extent. should be contin-
ued, for there can be no question but
that the defeat Of the measure altogether
Will be better for the country and better
for the party than its passage in its
present shape, including many of the
items already passed upon.

Attorney General Kellogg says, in an
swer to an inquiry from the county at
torney of Shawnee county, that express
companies can not bring liquors into the
state &. O. d. under the laws, and if they
do so they lay themselves liable. In Civ
ing the opinion he says: "Ordinarily, the
title to merchandise shipped by railroad
or express from one state into another
passes from the seller to the buyer at the
place Of shipment, and by the delivery to
the common carrier, who is considered
the agent of the buyer. But this is not
true Of goods shipped c. o. d. The title
to such merchandise does not pass until
the goods have reached their destination
and have there been paid for and deliv-
cred. The sale is not completed until
then. The common carrier IS the agent
of the seller and not of the buyer BY
collecting the money and delivering the
liquor the agent or employe
of the railroad or express company
participates in the sale and becomes liable
for violation Of the prohibitory law"
To this the Lawrence Journal very peril
nently replies that if this view of the
case is correct, and we do not think it is,
why did not General Kellogg find it out

Dakota's representatives are interested
in the tariff on tin and want it so fixed
that there will be an opportunity to de-
velop the great tin mines Of South Da-
kota. And the senate is disposed to
yield to their demands, notwithstanding
the fact that Senator Plumb's PROPOSE
ton to place a bounty upon all the tin
produced in this country equal to the
proposed tariff rat would accomplish the
same purpose as far as the tin producers
are concerned. Verify it looks, more
and more every day, like the tariff is a
local question; that is to say, the interests
that demand protection for projections
sake. are confined to certain localities as
against the interests of the masses of the
country at large for freer trade.

The hog market throughout the cOun-
try has been on a boom for several days.
And in view of the immense receipts at
all points the market has held up sur
prisingIy well. This is gratifying for the
present, but it is not the best for the
future. If it is continued much longer
it viii simply mean scarcity of stock
and exalted prices another year. Farm
ers will consult their best interests by
holding on to their young and immature
stock, even if they have to strain point
to do so. This applies in the main to hogs
only. The flush of receipts on the cattle
market is the effect, principally, of the
order vacating the forbidden portions of
the territory by the cattle men with
their herds. These cattle must go on
the market very largely, because there is
nowhere else for them to go.

COMMANDER vEAzEY,s CAREER.

| The following interesting sketch of the
career of Colonel Wheelock G.. Veazey,
| recently elected commander-in-chief of
the G. A. R., will be read with interest:
| WheelOck G.. VeaZey was born in
| Rockingham county, New Hampshire,
| about tifty-three years ago, and was edu-
Gated at Phillips Exeter academy, Dart
| mouth college, and the Albany law
| school. He had just begun practice in
| Springfield. Vt, when the war broke
| out. At the close of his military service
he resumed practice at Rutland, in part
, nership with the Hon. Redfield Proctor.
the present secretary of war. He en-
listed as a private in the Third Vermont
volunteers early in 1861, was chosen
captain of company \. and promoted TO
be major and lieutenant colonel
that summer. The colonel of the
regiment was William F. Smith. who
afterward became popularity known
as General Badly" Smith. Being a
West Point man he gave his command
thorough discipline. and it distinguished
itself at Lee Mills, the first battle of the
penlnsular campaign in 1872. By this
time, however, its colonel had been made
a general and was i'll command of a di-
vision, and Colonel Feazey was his chief
of staff and was engaged in all the bat
ties of the peninsular campaign. In ad-
dition to a leading law practice in 1864
he accepted an appointment as reporter
of the decisions of the supreme court of
Vermont, and held the office eight years.
publishing nine volumes. He was a
state senator in 1872 3, and a leading
member of that body. Still continuing
to practice law, he was appointed regis
ter in bankruptcy in 1878, which he held
until the law was repealed. In 1879 he
was chosen a judge of the supreme court
of Vermont, the highest court in the state,
and held this office for ten years, becom-
ing distinguished for judicial learning
and prObity, and being called to preside
at nisi prius over the most difficult trials
in the state. In 1879 he was appointed
by the governor a commissioner TO re-
port to the legislature upon court ex-
penses, with a view TO retrenchment and
reform. Soon after going on the bench
he was appointed a commissioner for re-
vlsing the statutes of the state. In 1889
he was appointed by President Harrison
an interstate commissioner, aud this
office he holds at the present time.
While not politician, he has always
been a Republican, and in 1916 was a
delegate at large to the national cOnven-
ton in Cincinnati. He has been a
trustee of Dartmouth college since 1873. (
and has held a similar relation to other
institutions. In 1878 Dartmouth college
conferred upon him the degree Of Ii. ID. /

Another Kick from Brady.


The demand that the railroad com
missiOners be elected by the people Is
one that must be met. What with APP
pointing supreme court commissioners
and commissioners in general, the
governor has more patronage than the
exegencies of the case warrant. In so
far as possible all offices should be filled
by the people. The appointments mady
by the governor are made practically be
the politicians and in them the people
have no saw. No one ever heard of
Humphrey consulting any but poll
ticians. The people are to be trusted 10
attend to their own business.

Kansas Kick is Coming.

From the Kansas city Gazette.
The dispatches tell us that when the
lead ore duty is reached in the Mckinley
bill Senator ingalls, will wade into the
aforesaid bill more savagely than Senator
Plumb has. He ought to do so. If there
is anything in the world that the people
Of Kansas need it is diversified indus
tries. And it is sheer idiocy that the
smelling plant we have, and which
promises 50 much if undisturbed by a tax
of $50 per ton on fux ore, should be so
taxed solely that few millionaire5 in
Denver may get more. They boast Of
their enormous profits il the face Of
competition with free Mexican ore, and
Kansas should kick violently against
furnishing the pound Of flesh.

In another column of this issue APP
pears a communication from st. Louis
upon the Buttsrworth anti-option bill
now pending before congress. The aues-
ton has been quite extensively discussed
but our correspondent presents some new
points, and in very striking way urges
the necessity of prompt and decisive &C
ton by congress. 1t is understood that
the measure will be taken up this week,
and it is hoped that the interests of the
masses, without regard to locality, sec
ton or calling, VIII prevail in the passage
of the bill.

Rough estimates of Kansas popula-
ton, as made and given out by the cen
sus bureau. places the number at a mill
ion and half, or a gain of a little over
90 per cent in the ten years since 1850.

disadvantages thestate has labored under
during that time, and especially for the
past two years. the showing is little less
surprising than gratifying. Had the
