ONLY EIGHT KEGS OF BEER.

There is a little solace for the Republi-
cans of Kansas after all. They couldn' t
re-elect Senator Ingalls,, but they have
succeeded in Selling eight kegs of beer in
Leavenworth hotel.-Kansas City Star.
Yes, the Republican party has devoted
so much time in hunting up joints aud
Selling beer that it has lost its hold on
the state. Its leaders in their insane de-
sire to ''smell" and ''spot," became blind
to the ate's material welfare and grew
deaf to the appeals for relief which came
up from every agricultural section of the
state. For years the Republican admin
istration in Kansas have had but one
sense. To close a joint has been the
height of their ambition, and of more
importance with them than any material
problem, whether it was the relief of the
MORTGAGE, the lessening of taxes, or the
securing Of prosperity through renewed
immigration. "ls the prohibitorv law
being enforced at Wichita and Leaven-
worth, at Kansas City and at Atchisonw
has been the watchword of successive
governors, with the ever recurring reply
from the bosses: ''Give us another
change of police commissioners, and an
other assistant attorney general" One
of the results Of these single-idea reigns
is a new party of protest, now in power
in the lower house; another, the loss Of
Ingalls,, and another, threatened legisla-
ton which would drive all money from
the state, put its railroads in the hands
of receivers, close its banks and send its
most enterprising citizens away TO hunt
new homes.
Yes, there is "little" solace for Kansas
in the seizing of that eight kegs of beer,
but it's a mighty little; so little that it
will hardly go round; but, not so little
that a Bourbon Democratic newspaper
of Missouri could afford to refrain from
indulging in a humiliating fling against
the state.

THE CONGER BILL.

The EAGLE gave its farmer readers the
exact facts of the power and the profits
Of the lard mixtures and stated the num-
Der of millions of dollars that the farm
ers of this country were swindled out OF
annually, and why the Conger bill was
better than the Paddock bill. There is
not a word in the Paddock bill which re-
quires the maker of compound lard, or
the manufacturer of any other swindle
against the farmer, TO show of what
their adulteration consists. All they
have to do is to brand it compound
lard, etc, and the nadulterate it to their
hearts content, providing, according to
the seventh section of the bill, refrain
from using posion. Under the Paddock
bill the prices of the hog and
Of lard are deprecated, and
that is the long and short of it, while the
Conger bill provides such a penalty as
constitutes q direct protection. The
author of the Paddock bill, upon the
other hand, simply studied how to catch
the consent of the farmer and at the
same time fool and cheat him. The
Conger bill protects both the producer
and consumer of the hog. The Paddock
bill does neither, but, on the other hand,
offers bounty on swindling by both
recognizing the work of the compounder
as legitimate and by failing to tax

IN THE INTEREST OF KANSAS.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
We copy elsewhere a splendid article
from a stock man, published in the
Wichita EAGLE. The Kansas legislature
should not act hastily about this matter,
merely upon the grumblings of individ-
uals. There is not a merchant in any
city of whose profits or way of doing
business some one does not find fault. 1t
is unreasonable to attempt to interfere
with a concern that has been of vast
benefit because some one complains.
The charges at the Kansas City, Kan,
stock yards are but little over half what
they are in Chicago.

IWICKEY FORCED 10 RESIGN.
Confined Drunkenness Is Charged Since His
First ReSignatiOn. and He Does Net Deny
t...h Is Now Down and Out.

Tacoma Ledger, Feb. 2Qth: Chief oi
Police W. F. zwickey resigned his Office
yesterday afternoon, the resignation to
take effect at once. His resignation was
as follows:
Hon. George B. Kandle, Mayor Of The
City Of Tacoma, Wdsh.-DEAR Sin:
hereby tender you my resignation as chiei
Of police Of the city Of Tacoma, to take
effect to-day. Respectfully,
W. +. ZwIcKEY.
"Did you request his resignation ?" was
asked the mayor.
~ told him this morning that l should
suspend him II he did not resign at once.
There were certain charges too grave tc
be overlooked. The council authorized
me last night to suspend him IL he re'
fused to resign and I should have taken
the responsibility Of doing so."
"What were the chargesP
"Chiefy that Of excessive drinking
since his resignation"
The charge referred to is especially
Tuesday night, when by common report
the chief Of police was disgracefully
drunk. In fact 1t is said, without hesita'
ton, that Zwickey has been exceedingly
addicted to drink since his resignation.
Captain Ellis assumes the place Of chic
Of police pending the appointment Of q
permanent chief. The mayor has ten
days in which to make his selection, &C
cording to the city charter. Captain Ellis
is known as a very competent captain
and he would undoubtedly fill the place
Of chief satisfactorily.

Can mutton be more cheaply produced
than beer As bearing upon this subject
Stewart calls attention to the fact that
the sheep is a source Of double income
meat and wool He refers, too, to the
experiments Of Sir J. B. Lawes In refer.
ence to the percentage Of food utilized OF
stored up by different animals, and these
experiments presented the sheep In q
very favorable light. OF the dry food
consumed he found that sheep stored up
increased weight 10 per cent, while cat.
tie only laid up in increased weight 8 per
cent.-that Is, eight and one-half pounds
Of dry food increased the live weight Of
cattle.
So that, relying upon these expert
ments, sheep must be considered as ex-
cellent utilizers Of food, as producing a.
many pounds Of mutton, besides the
wool, from q given quantity Of food, as
can be produced Of beef; and as the
best mutton brings as high price as the
beef, It would appear on this basis the
sheep would give the fleece as extra
profit over cattle. II this Is not too fa-

taken from the soil by the fleece 10 only

ton sheep represent q COW, the whole
mineral constituents taken by the Az
Aeeces would only be 90 ounces, and
about 1.9 pounds Of nitrogen, while the

mineral matter and thirteen times as
