circle and facing westward with arms
uplifted were pleading with the dying
sun to stay with them, to give light to
them, to help their people. These invo-
cations seem all to invoke the presence,
the especial watchfulness of their All
good--their Great Spirit-and to see
these people crying and pleading as they
do. one cannot say that the Indian has no
feeling.
I would close by saying that there is no
enmity or ill-feeling to the white man
shown by those Indians of whom have
been writing. Treat them kindly and
one will be surprised at their kindliness.
They are fatalists; they consider the
Great Spirit alone to be responsible for
this prophesied rain OF mud to drown
out the white man.
After all, who can blame an Indian for
wishing the whites cleaned out? Have
we, as race, shown to them that civil
ization and humanity are synonymous?

Public sentiment in favor of ballot re-
form continues to extend. The legisla
lures in Arkansas and West Virginia
have just passed ballot reform bills based
upon the Australian system. When
these shall become laws the reform
method of voting will be in force in
seventeen states. Considering that the
first state to adopt the new system was
Massachusetts, in 1888, the progress of
the reform has been very rapid. There
seems TO be room for little doubt that it
will prevail throughout the union before
three years more shall have passed 1t
was thought that the Kansas legislature
would adopt the Australian system or
something similar, but beyond the Doug
lass bribery bill nothing has been done
IN relation to our election system.

1t is said that Senator German is
maturing a plan by which he hopes to
secure the control of the senate to the
Democrats, in spite of the ugly looking
Republican majority. The plan is to
give most of the patronage which the
senate controls to the silver senators and
to the Alliance members of that august
body, in return for their votes upon GER
tain questions of reform in the public
administration. What the reforms con-
templated are are not intimated, but it is
no matter, the scheme will hardly work.
The real purpose is, if it is too late when
the time arrives, to so shape affairs
politically so as to relegate Cleveland
into the innocuous and boost German
into the Democratic lead 1t won't work.

The result of the election in Canada
the past week. although a victory for
the administration party, practically,
that is in giving that party safe major
ity in the parliament, was yet a serious
disappointment to the government in the
strength developed by the opposition in
spite of the personal efforts of the head
OF the government seconded by the full
force and influence of the administra-
ton. The most compromising feature of
the election to the government is found
In the expression of sentiment in favor
OF reciprocity with the United States
and the growth of feeling favorable to
ultimate annexation to the United States.
Such development cannot fail TO have a
notifying effect upon the future policy
OF the dominion government.

The insanity of Anna Dickinson is
being discussed in the public prints
quite extensively. The universal ex-
preston is that of profound commisera-
ton and good deal of surprise. The
case is indeed tamentable one. 1t is
always a cause for sadness to see a
bright intellect overthrown and life of
profit to the times and race wrecked.
What pity it is that this gifted woman
cheerfully accept and occupy the sphere
of her creation. Had she been agree
ably mated in early womanhood and be-
come the mother of a family her fate
would undoubtedly have been different.

TO ENCOURAGE SUGAR EXPERT
MENTS.
JOHN w. BEEBE.

The agricultural appropriation bill
passed by congress and which became g.
law last Wednesday, makes provision
for the continuation of experiments in
the manufacture of sorghum sugar. This
is of considerable importance to Kansas,
which state is most interested in the de-
velopment of the new industry. The
appropriation made for the ordinary ex-
penses of this scientific inquiry is $685.
600; but, through the efforts of Chair
man Funston, of the house committee
on agriculture, $4,000 additional was
appropriated ''to make a thorough trial
of the method of making sugar by treat
ing the syrup with alcohol" A provis-
ion originally reported, then stricken out
by the house, and finally restored by the
conferrees, allows manufacturers of sor-
ghum sugar to remove from distillery
warehouses to the sugar factories alcohol
in bond fee of tax. 1t must be
used, however, solely in the manufacture
of sugar from sorghum. The bill says:
"All distilled spirits removed, as here
in authorized, shall be of an alcoholic
of not less than 100 per centum
proof, and may be removed, stored and
used in the manufacture of sugar from
and when so used may be re-
covered by Redistribution in the sugar
factory of such sugar manufactured I'M
der such bonds, rules and regulations for
the protection of the revenue and the
accomplishment of the purposes herein
as the commissioner of inter-
nal revenus, with the approval of the
secretary of the treasury, may pre-
scribe"
There is also provision which fixes a
penalty of a fine of one to five thousond
fine and costs for the violation of the
section quoted, that is, for the removal
and use of liquors from bond under its
provision for any other purpose than
that specified.

Lieutenant Governor Jones, of New
York. who pays the freight, is not
troubled with modesty.> He has pre-
pared circular, which he is sending
broadcast throughout the state, in which
he asks openly for the support of the
influential Democrat who happens TO
receive it. This is the most, and it may
be said positive, evidence yet given to
the public that D. B. Hill will withdraw
from the states politics at the expiration
Of his term as governor.

Labor Statistics

From the Topeka Capital.
By personal interviews Labor Com
missioner Better has obtained during the
past year reports from 925 working
men, showing among other things the
rates of daily wages. These do not in
cluds the reports from any class of rail-
road men, but represent fortyfour diff
ferent occupations requiring greater
or less amount of skill. OF these 925
men, 421 were members of their trades
unions and 504 were not.
The commissioner has prepared table
showing the number receiving a given
rate of wages, each column increasing
25 cents in amount. The largest num-
Der shown in any one column is that
between So so and S2.75.
Thirty-seven per cent Of the union and
1879 per cent of the non-union men were
paid daily wages ranging between these
two amounts.
The general average for all of the
union workmen was 81. 81 and for the
non-union So

There are numerous changes that

ought to get rid Of it. If they still want
it, it wont hurt them to say so. As to the
legislative question, it is not right that
the sparsely populated west should have
a representation so nearly equal to that

should be just. Walk in the middle of
