If we fully understand the truth of
the matter Kansas needs new con-
stitulion. A certain nonresident
stockholder, dissatisfied with the
management OF certain mandatory,
made application TO have 4 receiver
appointed. lie was required to give
q $1,000 bond aud his application
granted. The Institution is now vir-
iuslIy shut down, a lot of men thrown
ont Of employment, and the reputa-
iiyn Of the concern materially dam
aged. The. remaining stockholders

can get no hearing before the court
until September. In their opinion
the bond of $1,000 is not sufficient and
they also think they should have been
heard before the receiver was appoint
cd and that they should have had
something 10 say with regard to nam
ing the individual who takes charge
Of their business. There must be
something defective in the law, as all
manufactures have to work up trade
and IL they are forced to suspend
work for any length of time they have
to commence over again and secure
another line of customers. There
may be another side to this case, but
we should think our probate judge
would require heavier bond and
also give the company hearing be-
fore he would order an institution of
this kind shut down. We need new
and perhaps new judge.

clause of the constitution it can only
regulate interstate transactions. Sales
by the retailer to the consumer being
wholly within state are unaffected by
it. The Conger bill, on the other hand,
stamps the consumers package with a
notice informing him what he is buy
ing. Even if he is served with pound
or two out of a tierce OF barrel,
the little wooden tray in which it is put
up must be stamped with such notice.
This is effective and reaches the fraud.
1t prevents no one from buying the
cheaper fat if he wants it, but he buys it
as the cheaper fat and not as lard He Is
not cheated and the producer of genuine
lard is not cheated. The latter may still
suffer some by a loss of part Of the
former demand for pure lard, but 1t will
| be loss of which he can not and will
not complain, if the cheaper fat Is sold
as such on its own merits and not under
false pretense.
Oh, but "the taxation of one industry
for the benefit of another. Compound
lard as at present conducted has no place
among the industries of the country. It
is no more an industry than Is the
wooden nutmeg industry. No consumer
buys either for what it is, but for what
it pretends to be. 1t has thus always
been fraud, and those engaged In 1t
have no right to complain at the IMPOSE
ton of a nominal tax of one cent on each
! five pounds, when such tax Is required
to pay the expenses of the supervision
| necessary TO put stop tc the fraud.
Those employing the fraudulent methods
have themselves to blame for the fact
that the supervision and the consequent
! expense are necessary. They should
submit to the one and pay the other
without a murmur. While it IS true
that you cannot legislate men honest,
vet you can and must so shape leglSla-
ton that their dishonesty shall not IN
! jure others, or else government and
| legislation fails of its purpose.
| No man, whether he be farmer or sem
ator, can fail to perceive that the COM
/ pound lard business as it has been and IS
conducted, is a great moral and economic
! evil, and that the Paddock bill affords
no remedy for it, while on the other
hand the Conger lard bill does furnish a
remedy at the lowest possible cost IN
money and machinery consistent with
the effectiveness of the remedy. No man,
whether he be farmer or senator, can
therefore profess to desire the abolition
of the evil and at the same time decline
to support the only remedy that will ac-
complish it, or propose to substitute an
other that will very clearly not accom-
plish it.

To say that Republicans are ashamed
and mortified over weak back Republican
United States senators puts the case mildly.
-Inter-Ocean.
Yes, too mildly to do public sentiment
justice. They were sent there 30 repre-
sent and conserve the interests and vel
fare of the whole people of the whole
country, but instead majority of them
act as though they were in the employ of
some private interest of some particular
section or locality. Is it any wonder
that thousands of honest and long suffer
ing Republicans throughout the country
should remain away from the polls on
election days in shame for their leaders,
or prompted by disgust go with their
party's enemy as a lesser of evils? The
Inter-Ocean is right.

OF late the esteemed Globe-Democrat
has given some of the strict-construc-
tionists of its party good deal of wor-
ryment over the extremely liberal vein
it has been running in. Its first ''break'
was in opposing the force bill, and it has
been backing up the western senators in
their endeavors in behalf of the people
pretty much after the style of the EAGLE.
But the following unqualified endorse
went of the Democratic governor of Mis-
souri, caps the climax of iberality. 1t
says:
The message of Governor Francis, the
main point of which we print today, is,
like all official documents from the pres
ent executive, clean cut and perspicuous
statement of the matter in hand at the
time of writing. 1t is full of information,
and does not go too far in suggestion or
recommendation. That is TO say, it is de-
voted to facts and figures rather than to
theories and arguments.

THE BAD LANDS.

From the Abilene Reflector.
An Abilene gentleman who spent
some time a few years ago in South
Dakota and investigated the famous
bad lands" says they are far from be-
ing a good place to fight Indians.
They are composed of white clay,
which, by the action of rains, has been
cut into hillccks. They are not high,
seldom more than forty or fifty feet, but
it is up one and down another the whole
way. There are no water courses, the
nearest approach being a gully forty feet
deep. with a foot and half of mud at
the bottom. At every few yards you
must stop, and. with a spade and shovel,
cut a path down the side of hill IN
order to descend and then up the side of
the one opposite in order to get up
again. The mud is as sticky as tar, and
in going a few yards the wheels of a
wagon become solid round cakes, and
all the mules YOU can hitch to 1t will not
be able to pull it foot further. Then
the spades are brought and the wheels
cleared, the operation beng repeated
two or three times in hundred yards.
The extent of the Bad lands Is probably
a hundred miles from north to south by
fifteen 10 thirty miles wide.

THEGALL.

The Topeka Capital announces that It
has decided to reproduce daily, hence
forth, the best editorials to be found
among its exchanges. The gall! Are
we to understand that the policy OF the
Capital heretofore has been to select the
poorest or only those it considered OF
such medium standard as would not
throw its own productions too much in
the shade? If the Capitals discrimina-
ton but equalled its presumption in this
matter, and it could, in the meanwhile,
smother its notorious prejudice it will
be quoting papers that its readers have
seldom heard of through its columns.

SUGAR AND COFFEE.

From the Leavenworth Times.
How the tender hearts of the Indian
Rights association will blee when they
learn that the hostile Indians are suffer
ing for sugar and coffee. We may ex-
pect to hear a wall go up from all over
the land and the st. Louis Republic and
the Wichita EAGLE will urgue that
supply of sugar and coffee be sent these
noble red men under flag of truce.
Their argument will be something like
this: Think what an effect it would
have upon these autumn hued children
of nature if they should receive as
present from the Great Father two or
three hundred sacks of coffee, ready
Drowned, and as many barrels of sugar.
How the Indian heart would melt as he
partook of that peace offering! How it
would go out in gratitude to the pale
face! This is civilization. If thine
enemy hunger, feed him, il he thirst,
give him to drink Lead the untutored
savage gently back to peace.

The Georgia Legislature has passed a

ate soldier from that state who died dur

of the service. The law is to be operat-
i've from Feb. 1, 1891, and appropriates
$50. 900. The records show that 12j, 600
soldiers enlisted in the Confederate army
from that state. If the amount appro-
priated shall prove sufficient it would
seem to indicate that a very small per

for it lies in technical plea as to the
purposes for which the lands We're to be
used. Such title is valueless IN law,
and has been so declared by the courts,

in the interest of peace and conciiiatlon,

NORMAN, Ok, Jan. 10, 1891.
To the Editor of the Eagle
DEAR SIR:-On yesterday we received
a car load of wire shipped from Pitts

charged was 81 cents per hundred
pounds. The delivery rate named in the
bill of lading was 81 cents per hundred

abatement of the difference-S33.7 II. He
referred the matter to his division freight
agent and was instructed TO collect in
full as the tariff was thus raised on Jan.
1, 1891.
Now since this shipment was made
