JUDGE WALL NOT A CANDIDATE

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Since the announcement OF Hon. S. r,
Peters that he would not be candidate
for reelection to congress, "divers and
and sundry persons have been an
nounced as candidates to succeed him:
my name has been mentioned, and from
letters received from various parts of
the district. am led to believe that it is
thought as matter of course, ''Barkis
is willing"
Allow me to say to my Republican
friends of the district that [ am not q.
candidate. 1t has not been long since
retired from the position of judge of the
Eighteenth judicial district, to which
was elected without opposition; if l had
been anxious to hold office | believe the
bar and people would have kept me in
that position, which is as honorable and
important as being member of con-
gress, but l was then, and am now, too
young man to contract the pernicious
American habit of holding office as a
means of livelihood.
By education, habit and taste am a
lawyer, and the practice of my profess
sion Is more congenial and profitable to
me than career as legislator and poll
tlcian, even though it were offered me.
The condition of the people in most of
the western states is such that they
should select men to represent them who
are able and willing to champion their
cause and aid, in SO far as legislation
can, in inaugurating an era of healthful
prosperity. This district should assist in
selecting such man; this city and coun-
ty should present such a candidate to
the Republican convention, and with
united and harmonious action he will be
nominated and elected.
Judge Peters has been a faithful and
able servant of the people Of this dis
trict, and his retirement is to be regret
ted. The people ought to be satisfied if
they select man who equals him in in
dustrious devotion TO his constituency.
In conclusion, will say to nv friends
in this county and elsewhere that fully
the hearty and enthusiastic
support proffered. Respectfully,
Feb. 10, 1896. 7. B. WALL.

MORE BURDENS FOR PRODUCERS.

The interstate commerce commission
Is of the opinion that the stop-over priv
ilege to live stock in transit to market is
not in accord with sound business prin-
ciples. as far as the carrier is concerned.
and that the through charge for such
shipments must be equal to the sum of
as many locals as there are stops made.
Another burden for the producer; for.
of course, the increase of freight will be
taxed in the expense account that must
come out of the thing shipped. Here is
presented one of the anomalies of trade.
The shipper must stand whatever in
crease there may be in the cost OF GET
ting his goods to market, while the con-
sumner gets, or Is presumed to get, the
benefit of whatever reduction there NAV
be in such expense account, though he
does not, in point of fact; it goes to the
middle man.
In the case of the shipment of live
stock the law requires that stops be
made at certain intervals and the stock
turned out for rest, water and feed. In
view of this what possible harm can
come TO any one if, where such stops are
made, part or all of the cargo be sold and
the haul terminated? The law was
enacted under the plea that ii would
benefit the people, the consumers and
producers of the country alike, but it has.
proven serious detriment to the legiti-
mate business of the country from the
day 1t went into operation. and there has
been no ruling by the commission Great
ed TO manipulate 1t more at variance
with the principles or equity than that
here referred to. 1t is hard to tell which
Of the three denominations, the Interstate
law, market gambling, or trusts. is the
most hurtful to the industries and pen
eral business of the country. AWAY
with the whole outfit is the universal
demand OF the people.

IMPRESSIBLE STATESMEN.

The practical defeat of the lottery bill
in North Dakota shows that public opin-
ion is more potent in the far west than
it Is in communities that are supposed to
have reached more advanced state of
civilization, like Ohio and West Virginia.
A week ago there did not seem to be a
possibility Of such miscarriage Of the
schemes of the plotters. Their plans
had been laid for months, and they had
promises of votes sufficient to override
the governors expected veto. The
wholesale bribery practiced by the lot
terry company, however, was exposed in
the newspapers, and the legislators who
had had promises Of money and patron
age dared not carry out their part Of the
contract.
We shall probably never live to see the
day when such fear of public opinion
will be exhibited at Columbus or Wheel
ing. If charges of corruption were made
in reference TO any election matters that
came up at those capitals, the legislators
accused would simply consider it neces-
sary to buster little about their hon
esty and then go in and vote as they had
promised.
Western men are supposed to have no
end of assurance, but the defeat of the
lottery bill in North Dakota indicates
that they are mere tyros, compared to
the hardened eastern statesmen. Inex-
perience is no sin, and in this case no
drawback. North Dakota is to be con-
graduated that her Legislators have not
yet lost the power to blush, or to be
to be called thieves.

GOOD WORK AT OMAHA.

From the Kansas City Gazette
Mr. A. r. Ford, member Of the State
Immigration bureau for the second con-
gressioIial district, returned this morn
ing from Omaha, where he had been
with the Kansas crowd seeking rates
from the Trans Missouri passenger asso-
citation. He reports that about 100 men
Were there. They secured from the
association half-fare rates to all points III
Kansas. The passenger association
named 4 committee OF eight to go east
and see the eastern railroad managers.
The railroad managers received them
very enthusiastically, and exhibited as
much interest in the movement as any
body in Kansas possibly could. They
join the Kansas bureau IN all the work
and advertising. We feel pleased with
the interest and enthusiasm with which
Mr.. Ford is keeping up the Kansas City,
Kansas, end of the movement.

Congressional proceedings are being
watched with unusual interest just now

of the general depression, with the
anxious hope for the enactment of some
measure or measures of relief, and when

feeling of indignation and disgust. Such

Senator Colquitt Of Georgia proposes
as a solution of the race problem in the
south, the closing of the dram shops. In
view of the effort to close the saloons in
the capital city of his state year or two
ago, its effects upon the business of the
city and failure to improve the moral
atmosphere, as was alleged and not
denied, the senator's proposition appears
about as practicable as Senator Buffers.
Besides, it be fact that the negro is
less addicted to the use of intoxicants
than the white man, if the senator had
the contrary idea in his mind.

If the Democratic party were in con-

ere this, upon the idea that such move

recognize as necessary to their party's

situated and can, consequently, consider
the question and decide it upon its merits

The value of the agricultural pro-
ducts Of Kansas for 1889 was $104, 572,-
1880. The value Of the live stock for
the year is SIG, 1885, 1866. This does not
include the dairy products, nor fowls,
nor orchard crops, nor several other
minor field and market garden crops,
which all together would aggregate in
value several million more. So it is seen
that the cause of hard times is not the
scarcity of something to sell, but the
scarcity of money to buy it. If that
want could be supplied all would be
well.

Manufacture of Paper Barrels.

After three years of experimental work an
English company has succeeded in produc-
ing barrels which are able to compete favor
ably with barrels made of wood. The paper
barrels are used principally for the carriage
of gunpowder, mining fuses, fruit, flowers,
molasses, paint, cement, matches, chemicals,
dyes, asbestos, sugar and extract of meat.
The materials used in making the barrels
are waste paper, cardboard and (for the bet
ter quality) old sacks. When cardboard
is used it is soaked or boiled for six hours
and afterward treated in the same manner as
the other raw material. This is carefully
sorted and put into rag engine, or beatsr,
where it is beaten and torn TO pieces by a
series of knives for about an hour and
half. 1t is afterward mixed with water un-
til pulp of sufficient consistency is gained.
This is rolled, joined, shaped and dried and
the barrel is finally covered with hoops.
Before the tops and bottoms are put in the
barrels are painted with waterproof COM
position, made of linseed oil and resin for
ordinary purpose barrels and with a special
varnish where they are used for food prod
ucts. The standard size made is 161S inches
diameter by % inches long. The prices at
which these barrels can be produced enables
them to compete favorably with wooden
barrels, wood barrel costing "a cents and
paper one % cents. One great feature is
that there is no waste with the process, all
"wasters" being eaten up into pulp again.
