THE ALCOHOL PROCESS.

Louisiana Planter: THE depart
ment Of agriculture announced not
long ago the discovery of the fact that
dilute alcohol precipitates certain gum
my substance from sorghum juice. 1t
also stated that this new process in
creased the yield of sugar, and also i'm
proved the quality of the molasses.
1t is understood that this process has
as yet been tested only in laboratory
way, and that the practical difficulties
of the process when applied in the
practical working of 200-ton per day
sugar factory are not yet fully under
stood.
1t IS rarely the case in the sugar bust
ness that experimenting can be salts
factorily done except in the sugar max
ing season. This appears to be one of
the rare exceptions, for it appears that
the process is capable of practical work
ing, using mOlasses from which sugar
has already been partly extracted, and
with this material meeting any difficult
ties IN the process which may exist,
and acquiring skill in using the
process.
1t is hoped the department will speed
lily practically determine the value of
the process, the expense in material, in
time, in labor, in apparatus, the pro-
portions required and the difficulties of
filtration Of the treated liquid, SO that

paratus in time for next seasons cam
paign.
1t is possible now in central and IN
many parts of western Kansas, to grow
vast fields of sorghum cane which will
contain 246 pounds of sugar and but
two pounds of uncrystalliZable sugar
per ton of cane. It is possible to grow
such cane for less than half the cost of
sugar cane, but, unfortunately, 1T is
not now possible for the sugar factor
les to extract more than half the sugar
which is in the cane. 1t is not the pow
erty of the cane which binders the rap
id development of the sorghum sugar
Industry so much as it is the inability
20 extract the sugar which is in the
cane. The presence of such small pro-
portion of reducing sugars OF glucose
does not explain the failure of the sugar
to crystalline sufficiently, and 1t is now
supposed that the partial crystalliza-
ton is due to the impurities which are
found In sorghum juice.
Beet sugar manufacture had SINH
ar difficulty, for beet juice contains sa-
line substances which have still great
er melassigenic effect. For long per
i0d beet moiasses retained 55 per cent.
Of its weight in sugar, in spite of all
lhe skill which could be brought to
bear upon the manufacture. Now.
however, it is practicable to extract all
but one per cent of sugar which the
beet contains; that Is, when the beets
contain IA per cent. OF sugar, Is per
cent. can be extracted. A ton of sor-
ghum cane containing ii per cent. of
sugar In the juice, or 246 pounds of

ONLY EIGHT KEGS OF BEER.

Kansas City Star: There is little
solace for the republicans of Kansas
after ALL They couldn't re elect Sena-
tor Ingalls,, but they have succeeded in
Selling eight kegs of beer in a Leaven-
worth hotel. -
Wichita Eagle: Yes, the republican
party has devoted so much time in
hunting up joints and Selling beer that
it has lost its hold on the state. It's
leaders in their insane desire to "smelP'
and spot" became blind to the states
material welfare and grew deaf to the
appeals for relief which came up from
every agricultural section of the state
For years the republican adminlStra-
ton in Kansas have had but one sense.
TO close 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 mOrtga-
gee, the lessening of taxes, or the Sc
curing of prosperity through renewed
immigration. Is the prohibitory law
being enforced at Wichita and Leaven-
worth lat Kansas City and at Atchison!''
has been the watchWord of successive
governors, with the ever recurring re-
ply from the bosses: Give us another
change of police commissioners. and
another assistant attorney general .
One of the results of these single-idea
reigns is new party of protest, now in
power in the lower house; another, the
loss of Ingalls,, and another, threatened
legislation 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 Kan
sas in the seizlng 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 news
paper of Missouri could afford to re-
frain from INDUCING in a humiliatlng
fling against the state -

MAJ.-GEN. b. Il. BUTLER.
He Will Return TO the South for the
First Time Since The War

1t seems hardly necessary to say any
thing of the history of Gen BIZ. But
Ter. No man in the whole nation has
been more constantly in the public eye
for the last four decades than he. AS
a successful lawyer and influential poll
tlclan before the war, as a patriot who
was among the first to respond to the
country's call at the firing upon Fort
Sumpter, as the man who gave New
Orleans the best government the city
ever had, as Commander of the Army
of the James, as Representative in
Congress and leading politician since
The war, he has had public attention
constantly focused upon him. No man
in the country has received more praise
and more abuse than he, and no man
has more warm personal friends and
admirers. Many of the people of the
South have been particularly bitter
against him, and have tried to make
his name the synonym for all that was
detestlble. He is now about to return
good for evil, and heap Goals of fire up
on the heads of his detractors by a
great enterprise to help restore pros
perity to the region which suffered so
severely from the ravages of the war
He is at the head of the great Georgia
Alabama Investment and Develop
ment Co., whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in this paper, which is made
up of capitalists whom he has associ-
ated with himself in a scheme to re.
build and develop large portions of
Dixie. Eerly next month he intends to
make tour Of the South, visiting the
section for the first time since the close
of the war-twenty-six years ago. He
will go to New Orleans and to all other
prominent points, and survey the field
of operations of this company carefully,
to inform himself personally as to the
possibilities of each locality. There is
something phenomnal In such tour
by Genaral whose first visit was
sword in hand, but who now goes as
restorer. 1t Will be watched with great
interest by all sections of the country.

and was sent to the state of Arkansas
to participate in the campaign. He
mentioned instances of intimidation
and destroying of ballot boxes and
said instead of the union labor party
receiving $4,000 majority. which was
theirs by careful estimates, when re-
turns came in the democrats had got
ten that majority in their own column.
For these reasons he thought there was
need of protection to voters in some of
the southern states.

STREETER GIVES HIS VIEW


SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb. 6.-Four
more ballots were cast forUnited States
senator in the JOINT assembly this
morning without any change in the re-
suit After the slXty-second ballot the
republicans and f. NJ. b. A. members
forced an adjournment, the democrats
voting solldly against it.
The republicans have not lost hope OF
finally etfecting combination with the
f. NJ. b. A. men, although nothing
definite came of to-day's conference.
At a meeting of the republican steering
committee to-day MIR. Streeter, +. Nj.
b. A. candidate for senator, was asked
now far ne would act with the republl-
can party in the senate If he was elect
ed. He replied i would be his duty to
stand by the farmers anG spdependent
organization in the economic principles
they were advocating. Outside OF this
he would stand with the republican
party.
Asked about the election bill, Street
er said that he was heartily in favor OF
measure to support the people of the
south in free ballot, having been
brought to this conviction of necessity

Judge Theodore Botkin is a hard
case. He is somewhat on the order of
4. Is. Campbell, a shining light at
home, and tough when away from
home; or in other words hypocrite al
ali times and all places. Judge Botkin
is being charged with corruption. bri-
berry and drunkenness, and will proba-
bly, be impeached. If so. he will be the
first district judge in the state to have
impeachment charges brought against
him. About year ago two gentlemen
OF this city met in city less than one
hundred miles east of here. They
started down street, and had not gone
far when they met another Medicine
Lodge man, walking up street, arm IN
arm with Judge Botkin. One of the
Medicine Lodge party remarked: Gen
tlemen, IsuppOse this is a prohibition
town. but have a little here that's
good, and If we can find some suitable
place, propose that we all take a
drink, and he exhibited half pint
bottle. The other two Medicine Lodge
men were horrfed, knowing that BOT
kin was raRtRDkerous prohibitionist.
But he soon put them out of their mis-
cry by exelaiming: "A half pint for
four drinksl What's the matter with
me, and he pulled quart bottle out
Of his overcoat pocket, and all four
men proceeded to take drink. Bot
kin is a dandy.

are IN the senate 81 republicans and 81

which begins on the 4th of March, will

Speaker Elder has introduced a bill
into the lower house of the Kansas leg
islature which is calculated to make
tax shirkers very weary. 1t provides
that all assessors shall be provided with
seals, and when the assessor shall list
any note or other credit, he shall put
his seal upon said note; and a note can
not be collected by law that should
have the seal, and that has it not. If
this bill becomes a law it will cause
many hundred thousands of dollars to
be taxed that have heretofore escaped

The election in Oklahoma last week
was landslide. So far the returns do
not show that single, solitary repub-
lican has been elected. The democrats
and alliance men we're united, and the
republicans treated the movement as a
matter of trivial consequence, and went
on in their mad career of prophesying a
glorious victory for their party, just as
they did in Kansas last November.
The result has made them weary, and
all good people will rejoice accordingly.
