Kansas City Gazette: Last winter the
senate passed bill to abolish the state
board of agriculture and in its place a
secretary Of agriculture to be elected by
the people. The house killed it and it
became the subject of a conference COM
mittee of the two houses in connection
with the worlds fair appropriation. The
senate committee of three insisted at
three different meetings that the house
committee of five accept the bin. P. P.
Elder was appealed to; Sam Wood was
appealed to but it was no so. The Al
lance house would not have it and
killed it. The senate wanted to put the
farm interests in the hands of a farmer
who should be elected by the voters Just
as the governor is elected.

a Peculiar Americanism.

From The New Orleans Times Democrat.
Some patient grubber, after obscure
statistics, furnishes the following re-
markable figures. He SAYS that there
1 200, 900 pianos in the United States,
every one of which was made in this
country excepting 1900, that were inn
ported; that there are 900. 900 pianos sold
to households in which there is no one to
play them, and that they, there
fore, remain dumb and unopened
Throughout. the year. He further
more states that there are 100, 900
parlors in the United States where the
furniture is never uncovered because no
company is entertained. The parlor is
simply kept as an adjunct of a well-fur-
nished house, and not for occupancy or
use,

The Alliance of Kansas with its array

The Alliance of Kansas with its array
of Republican PETERS, its Anarchist
Simpsons, its Fiat Greenback Davises,
and its other Bourbonistic Socialistic
howlers which 1t has elected to congress
from this state by the aid of the Demo
cratic party, now turns round and says
TO its late ally: 1.-THE Democratic party
be damnedr' Thereupon the Democratic
editors of the state hustle for Topeka
where after sitting around and looking
into the situation and into each others
faces for a whole day they resolve: 1.-THE
Alliance can go TO hades."

REPUBLICANS AND PROJECTION.

If Mckinley carries Ohio the world
will conclude, and rightly, that America
is for the protective principle, for the
reason that Ohio is a central, middle
state, and representative in its character,
being both a great agricultural and great
manufacturing state. The Republican
party of Kansas is undoubtedly for pro-
lection and has been, but the Mckinley
bill, against which the EAGLE and other
Republican papers so earnestly protested,
is not fair measure to Kansas, not so
equitable as it is to Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania and other manufacturing states.
The Republican party in Kansas was
weakened and discouraged, not by pro-
tectiVe legislation, nor by a proposed
high protective policy, but by the in
CAPABILITIES of the Mckinley bill. How
ever. if Mckinley protection is endorsed
by Ohio, it is very certain that the
platform of '92 will have no uncertain
sound, if, indeed, it is not made extreme.
In the meantime it will become the duty
of the west or the Republican represen-
tatives of the west to combine for a
modification of the present law and on
line with the series of amendments pro-
posed and urged by Senator Plumb, of
this state, pending the discussion and
passage of the Mckinley bill in the
United States senate.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

a dispatch In the morning paper
about the banquet to be given in hon.
or of President DiaZ' birthday, stated
that it sis to be an amusing affair, as
many of the alcades, who are to be
present, are ignorant Indians who
never sat at table or used knife or
fork in their lives, and have never
been in civilized society, and some
few perhaps, cannot even speak
Spanish, nor have ever worn trousers
or shoes, but simply sandals and
and white drawers
This may be.cons idered an amusing
feature for banquet to be given in
the fashionable capital of the Mexican
repu bile, but it does not seem to be a
very amusing feature of the elections
on this side the Rio Bravo, that these
same Indians, wearing sandals and
white dra wers" and utterly ignorant
of our language or institutions can
vote upon inten ton papers, when
other Indians are excluded.
Strict economy in the conduct of
our city government cannot be eXpec-
ted of our present administration
unless the money in the public till
runs low.
At nc period III the history of our
city affairs for the past ten years, is
there 50 much necessity for strict
economy in the disbursement of the
peoples money. All useless and
unnecessary agents and officials
should re dispensed with.
The large income from taxation
should be so managed as not to re-
quire the borrowing OF another dollar
for the next year at least. Let our
city recover lost ground, and prosper
ity revive before we go on plunging
into debt.
Let our citizens come to proper
seuse of our situation as a cosmopOli-
tan city, and not follow the foolish
and suicidal example of other Texas
towns, in the enforcement OF repres-
sive measures that only serve to par
alyZs business.
Our present city government stand
in the way of all enterprises because
the confidence of toe intelligent
masses in its ability aud integrity
has been destroyed
The failure of the governor to call an
extra session Of the legislature may
give rise to questions affecting the jur.
Isdietion of our courts, as the present
statutes do not correspond with the
Judiciary article OF the constitution
recently adopted by the people: mos
certainly the OLD constitution Is nc
longer operative.
The question as to " hen Constitu,
ttonal provision becomes operative /.
one OF considerable interest. Mos
plainly the new Judiciary article has
displaced the old provision, and the
statutes now regulating the jurisdic
ton of our courts have no constitu
tional force only so far as provided

attention to the rapid increase of the
expenditures for these two public
necessities, and that to make pro
visions for all the demands would
bankrupt the city.
People who pay city taxes should
be supplied with all the public con-
venIences and protection assured by
tho corporation; and the time is near
at hand when the question of the pub.

The experience of American cities
that have taken in hand the supply
of light and water by the corporation
is largely in favor of public control,
These facts can be easily obtained.
