The Mckinley tariff bill was carefully
gotten up to fool the farmers; but if a
few such men as Congressman WIke,
of Illinois, could get the ears of the
masses, there would be no excuse for
the most stupid being deceived. Last
Saturday, discussing the bill, Mr.. Wike,
after showing that farmers cannot be
benefited by legislation putting tariff
duties on the articles that he raised,
made this statement: Here are some
of the importations the farmers last
year had to contend with, as shown by
the Official figures of the treasury:
Eighty-eIght dollars worth of lard,
1918 worth of pork, 81 ,2l2.7O worth OF
corn, $S52.75 worth of corn meal, Is
bushels of rye and $1,946a bushels of
wheat, while of these six articles the
United States exported during the same
time over $140.000,00O worth. The
farmer will not only appreciate the at
titude these demagogues put him IN be-
fore the country by estimating his in
telligence no higher than to suppose he
can be duped by such miserable hypoc-
risy, but they also appreciate the grim
sarcasm of the profession to protect
him on wheat and corn by raising the
duty on the few bushels that are i'm
ported, when they realize that every
grain OF 1t that is brought in the Goun-
try is brought by the farmers as seed
for the purpose of improving the pro
duction and character of their own
crops.n

Judge Sluss, of Wichita, is a candi-
date for congress in this district, the
Wichita Beacon has discovered, and no
mistake about it. His bid for the
place appeared in Friday mornings
Eagle, in a carefully prepared inter
view, in which he comes out hot and
heavy as friend and champion of the
poor farmer. Judge Sluss is a thorough
Kansan, and therefore he cannot say
nay when some one suggests his name
for any position. 1t was generally sup
posed that Judge Sluss, who is a law
yer of ability and arepublican of stand
ing and influence in a certain faction
of that party, was seeking judicial hon.
ors, either on the federal bench or on
the supreme bench of the state. The
tact that the new federal court bill does
not provide for the appointment of a
new judge for this district may have
caused him to give up thoughts of such
place, but why he should give up the
supreme bench is not known, unless he
discovered that Colonel James r. Hal
lowell stood show of succeeding Con.
gresham Peters as the representative
of this district at Washington and de-
termlned to enter the list as a candi-
date for congress-"

KELLOGG ON THE DECISION.

Attorney General Kellogg's interpre-
tation of the original package" deci-
sion by the United States supreme
court Is of interest just now as there is
considerable talk in nearly every town
about opening agencies" In a letter
to the county attorney of Ellis county,
Mr.. Kellogg says, among other things:
1t goes to the extent of authorizing
the single sale of each original package
of imported liquors by the importer in
any state regardless of the law of the
state licensing, regulating or prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors, but
1t goes no further than this. 1t multi
ties our prohibitOry law only as to the
making of the one sale by the importer,
and IN making this sale in the exact
form in which it was imported.
The original package as applied to
bottled beer, wine or Whiskey in cases,
barrels or boxes would be the original
case, barrel or box and would not ap-
ply to the Individual bottles of liquor
contained In them, no matter how per-
fectly and securely the bottles were
cOrked and sealed up.
1.-The moment any of the intoxicating
liquor should be taken out of the orig
al package 1t and all the remaining
liquor in the original package would
become subject 10 our prOhibitory law,
and can not thereafter be sold either by
the importer or any one else except un-
der the provisions of our prohibitory
law and by druggists having a permit.
The decision is damaging blow to
the enforcement of prohibition; but it
does not authorize the opening of sa-
looms in Kansas. 1t has no effect what
| ever upon our prohibitory law except to
permit the one sale by the importer of
the original package. All persons who
violate the prOhibitory law except in
this one particular are subject to arrest
and punishment the same now as be-
fole this deci sion.''

Last Thursday, the president named
the territorial officers for Oklahoma,
as follows: For governor, Exon
gresham George w. Steele, of Indiana;
for secretary, Robert Martin. formerly
of Indiana, but resident of Wichita,
Kansas few months before the Okla
homa opening; district attorney, Horace
Speed, formerly of Indiana, the present
mayor of Guthrie and Bill Hackney's
law partner; for marshal, Warren S.
Lurty, of Virginia, a lieutenant of Ma
homes, appointed at mis- request; SUI
preme court officials, EdwardB. Green, of
Illinois, chief justice and A. J. Seay, of
Missouri and John G.. Clark, of Wis
cOnsin, associates. The appointment
of Steele as governor had been gener-
ally conceded for weeks. He is close
friend of the president, prominent G d.
A. r. man, was with Sherman through
Georgia and he is political organizer.
True, he was repudiated, in 1888, and
refused reelection to congress; but
that was more the reason why he should
be taken care of.

A NOTORIOUS CASE.

The Stevens county murder case, in
which prominent citizens of that coun-
ty killed the sheriff and posse in No
Man's-Land, in the summer of 1888,
came up at Paris, Texas, last week, in
the United States district court. The
trouble originated over a county-seat
fight between Woodsdale and Hugoton.
The sheriff and his party belonged at
WOodsdale. They had followed to No
Man's-Land certain Hugoton persons
charged with crime. At night they
camped on the prairie, and were sur
rounded by Hugoton party, headed by
the disreputable Sam Robinson, who
has Barber county history. The sheriff
and his entire party, with the exception
OF boy, named Frank Toney, were
killed. The boy, though very seriously
wounded, and left for dead. was able to
get away, and he told the names of the
attacking party. AT that time No
Man's-Land was supposed to be under
the jurisdiction of the federal courts of
Kansas, but later it was placed under
the jurisdiction of the court at Paris.
Texas. That is the reason the case was
taken there. Nine of the persons in
dicted for the murders were discharged,
but the following were held for trial !:
Charles and Grin Cook, VIM. O'Cornor,
J. G. Calvert, j. b. Chamberlain, A. NJ.
Donnell, j. Lawrence, E. Rawden and
John j. Jackson. Sam Robinson, the
leader, and the enc who is said to have
done most of the killing, is now serving
a sentence of fourteen years i'll the Col
orado penitentiary for robbing the post
Office at Colorado Springs. 1t is thought
by many that he would surely hang if
brought to trial on the charge of MUIR
dering Sheriff Cross and posse, and to
avert this he robbed the postoffice at
Colorado Springs in order that he might
be sent to the penitentiary for term
of years, so that at the expiration of
his sentence it would be impossible for
the government to procure the witnesses
against him.

At the annual election of directors of
the Santa Fe, last week, at Topeka. the
old board was retained, thus approving
the Manyel management. The rumor
was current that an entire new deal was
to be made and that the present officers
were all to be retired. 1t was told to
us, not long ago, that the eastern bond
holders were tired of the speculative
craze that had taken possession of the
western officials and that their town
site schemes and coal and mining deals
were to be stopped. 1t appears that
no changes will be made at present.

1t appears that congress may adjourn
by July 1st, and maybe sooner. The
members are just getting it through
their heads that their constituents are
dissatisfied with the condition of the
country and they are not re-nominat-
ing the statesmen as rapidly as the
statesmen would like. The probability
is that everyone Of the Kansas con-
Gressmen VIII be at home by memorial
day and that they will find excuses to
remain here until their fences are all in
good repair.

CHICAGO. May 26.-The first Western session
OF the Congress subcommittee on immigration
and naturalization was held to-day in the
Chicago Custom House. Mr.. Henry d. Lloyd.
the first person examined. was asked for
facts regarding the lockout Of coal miners
at Spring Valley. III. He said tho majority Of
the miners were foreigners. French. BelRians
and Italians predominRting. Hs found forty
or fifty families who had been induced to como
to this country through the solicitation OF q
man named Anton Fort. who assured them
they would better their condition by so doing
but they were much worse of than they had
been at home. They had been sent TO an agent
In Chicago named De Wick. who sent them
10 Spring Valley. Mr. Lloyd did not know
whether the work of the man Fort had been
done before or after the Alien Contract Labor
law had been enacted.
, MIR. Lloyd declared tho lockout was due to
the policy OF tho syndicate controlling the
could be made by having the men idle than at
work. This syndicate was known as the Spring
valley Coal Mining Company, of which tho
stockholders he knew OF were w. /. Scott OF
