Superintendent Harrington, Of the
electric motor line, recently sent for Mr..
w. ID. Graves, an electrical expert, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, to examine the machin-
cry in the company's power house at
Thirty-sixth street. Mr.. Graves yes
terday, morning inspected the machin-
cry, and found it 70 be in very bad con-
dition. He stated that he was sorprised
that it served the purpose at all. 1t is
probable that the equipment OF the pow

dition at once.

FUEL GAS.

The practical failure of the supply OF
natural gas in many gas districts has
renewed the interest on the subject OF
fuel gas. 1t is pretty generally &C
knowedged that in time tue supply OF
natural gas must become exhausted, a
fact which has made the subject
of fuel gas one of great interest
to the natural gas consumer. Like
wise, manufacturers in those Sec
tions where natural gas is not found,
but who must compete with these Sec
tions where the cheap fuel exists,
have given the matter much consider
alton. The American Manufacturer
says:
"While there are several fuel gas pro-
cesses that have great merit, in all fair
ness, be it said that there are great
many others whose performance hard
ly iustifies the claims made for
them. Some of the most absurd
and impossible claims are daily
made for the gas manufactured oy
by certain processes. Most marvellous
stories are told of the number OF thous-
ands OF cubic feet OF gas that have been
manufactured by certain processes from
a to n of coal or barrel Of oil-state-
ments that are as absurd as to say that
two and two make fifty. Sometimes
the promoters of these processes are
self-deceived; in other cases they are
simply dishonest, and show their dis
honesty when parties desiring to inves-
tigate their processes, with the hope OF
using them, begin to make close inquiries
as TO methods OF manufacture, analyses,
etc." Speaking of fuel gas more espec-
tally in its relation to manufactures
the Manufacturer says:
The first desideratum of fuel gas pro-
cess in the minds OF many who desire 10
use the gaseous fuel is that IL shall neces-
state but little change in existing plants
While there are fuel gas processes that
answer this requirement, we think it will
be proven in the long run that the greatest
efficiency and economy in the use OF fuel
gases will not be found in the retention OF
old plants. The conditions under which
so i'll and gaseous fuel are burned are SO
differt mt thar plant that is well adapted
10 the burning OF solid fuel cannot Do
readily changed so as TO burn gaseous
fuel with the greatest economy. All such
changes are, in the nature of things, only
makeshifts, and the highest economy will
be in the erection of plants especially de-
signed for the use of fuel gas.

The Wobbler in Politics.

The Dickinson County News is kept busy
defending the officers whom the peoples
party elected to power last fall. The New
is famous. in fact, for defending the weak
lings OF the earth, which is the only thing l.
can do so long as it holds the positi' in
politics it has thus far held. a newspaper
however, that is forced to content itself with
defending other political parties than its
own, has little if any part in the honors
either OF making or enforcing the laws upon
the statute books Herington Times.
The Times is emphatically right. The
class of papers which the News repre-
sents is utterly out in the cold no mat
ter what happens, The world admires
pluck and consistency. A democrat
has much more respect for a straight
out republican paper than for wishy-
washy sheet that pretends to be demo-
cratic but is ''good Lord, good devil"
on everything. 1t took column OF
the News space a few weeks ago to ex
plain where it stood and then it didn't
tell. 1t is trying to ride a democratic
horse with one foot and an alliance
steed with the other. Although they
are going in parallel lines they are not
close enough together to make a solid
team and the gyrations OF our cOntem-
porary are painful to witness.
The News has wobbled about in poll
tics until nobody knows where to find
it or what it represents. 1t is afraid
to say its soul is its own for fear of Of
Tending somebody and when it is COM
PEELED to take stand copies what the
REFLECTOR or some other paper says.
1t is a policy that don't pay and our
weakened neighbOr is finding it out.

Old Tecumseh.

The death of General W. I. Sher-
man as related in our dispatches today
will cause a thrill of pain to touch the
hearts of thousands of brave boys In
blue who knew and loved the gallant
leader. Sherman was a particularly
lovable man if we may judge from the
hearty enthusiasm with which he has
always been regarded by those who
served under him. Brusk, unconven'
tional, independent and sturdy Of
mind, he was ever looked upon as lone
of the boys" and no old soldier felt
afraid to grasp his hand notwithstand-
ing their difference in station. Always
keeping clear of politics he made few
enemies and his friends were almost as
numerous south of Mason and Dixon's
line as north of it-for even those
whom he conquered bore him no ILL
will. Kansas is particularly sad over
Sherman's death for he was once a
resident of the state. One by one the
great figures of the days of the rebellion
are passing away. Indeed nearly all
are gone. Among them none will be
mourned more sincerely than William
Tecumseh Sherman.

What They Are.

Somebody has been gathering some
interesting statistics regarding the
members of the Kansas house of rep
resentatives. They are valuable as
showing what kind of men the farmers
chose to legislate for them. The re-
port says:
SIN this body of ninety-six alliance
men, there are forty eight farmers in
toto, fifteen preachers, both active and
quondam, and eleven school teachers.
1t is true that there is difference of
twenty-five in the numbers of the two
classes-farmers and preachers and
teachers-but the great preponderance
in numbers of farmers is the only
reason for this.
Fifteen of these forty-eight farmers
are fancy stock raisers and that fine
haired, enameled variety of farmer
commonly designated as agriculturist.
Possibly the claims of belonging to a
farming family of some of these ante
dates the members grandparents.
Taking away the agriculturist, then,
there remain thirty-three actual farm
ers. This is the representation of the
farmers-One-third of the total alliance
vote. Proportionally in numbers the
farmers have one-third, but in rea
importance of actual legislation they
haven't that much. For it is the
preacher, the teacher and the agricul-
turist who do the debating, the COM
mittee work and the final shaping of
the laws and the farmers part is to
listen and to vote.
1.-The members are not all natives of
America. One member comes from
Switzerland, another from England,
one from Germany, two from Wales,
two from Ireland. One man is from
Canada. There are two doctors among
alliance crowd, two or three lawyers,
Notwithstanding their declarations
against the bar and SIX carpenters.
/ One telegrapher has managed 20 slip in
too without an explanation. Most of
the members have come to the state
since 1870, but an ante-bellum Kansan
can be picked out here and there. The
religious views of the alliance are ex-
emplary and surely set a precedent
that following legislatures should emu
late. Sixty of the ninety-six alliance
men are active members of churches
and religious societies. This is won
derful showing for body of law max
ers. The most of the sixty are Metho-
dists and four are Roman Catholics.
Only two of the whole number confess
to entertaining no belief whatever"

Some Sense Left.

1t has come. We thought it would
sooner or later. We did not believe
the sensible farmers of Kansas would
forever stand the foolishness that is
going on at Topeka in the name of al
lance legislation. 1t would be strange
if the cranks and regulators who are
by their bOisterOus and unprincipled
manipulations iDjuring the credit and
name of Kansas the nation over should
not be themselves be repudiated by the
thinking men who have been hood
winked into foisting them into Office.
The following special dispatch to the
Kansas City Times speaks for itself:
PAoLA, Kas., Feb. l4-The Miami county
farmers mutual benefit association, today in
regular assembly meeting, passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
WHEREAS, We of the r. NJ. B. y. voted the
peoples ticket for legislative candidates
last fall with the understanding that SAID
candidate, if elected, would aid IN passing
laws for the benefit of the debtor Gloss; and
WHEREAS, a bill has already passed the
house of the Kansas Legislature that VIII IN
Jure the DEBTOR class, especld'ly IaIuSiS'
Therefore, We protest against said bill ana
request our representative to recall the same
from the senate and defeat it if possible, the
said bill being known as the Elder bill on
taxation of notes, etc. Further that we
favor law making money and notes non
taxable.
The thinking men of the state knew
this weeks ago but it is dollars to
doughnuts that the legislators will not
learn it until after they adjourn.

Social Pointers.

George w. Crane, of Topeka, has is
sued little handbook for the alliance
members, about half of it being given
up to pointers on social forms and GUS
toms in the capital. The Troy Chief
thinks the LIST incomplete and adds the
following:
l. In calling upon a lady, if you
wear overshoes and the weather is
muddy, carefully remove them after
you enter the parlor and place them
upon the piano.
2. In telling a lady joke about
your hogs or cattle, don't dig her in
the ribs with your fist or rift in her
face.
8. Do not make aromatic noises at
the table or blow your nose on the
table cloth.
1. Do not take off your boots in the
parlor and run your fingers between
your toes.
3. If the temperature of the parlor
is too warm, do not pull off your coat
and vest.
6. 1t is not usually considered good
breeding to clean out your ears with
the sugar tongs while waiting for
coffee.
Z. Do not lay your quid of tobacco
on the corner of the table during the
meal; place it on the marble center
table in the parlor before coming out.
8. If you chew tobacco, never spit
on the carpet; always spit on the stove
where the heat soon dries it up.
9. If you find hair in the biscuit,
never hold it up to the light and COM
pare it with that of your hostess; but
lay it carefully on the table cloth and
invert your saucer over it.
10. If you are compelled to sneeze
in the presence of company, do not ex-
claim, 'Fish-hooBsI" after each sneeze.
IL. If tooth-picks are passed around
at the table, do not tell a story they
remind you of, about Dublin, Indiana.
u. If you are invited out to dine,
do not become a regular boarder at
that house except upon further press
ing invitation.

may have been so long as he illustrated
in his life and character the great
essential virtues which go 20 make a
noble and blameless manhood"
More than that it matters little In
any case. The short span of life which
joins two eternities is not bounded by
peculiar creeds and dogmas. The
essentials of life and truth are not
forms and ceremonies but such right
living as harmonizes with the eternal
principles of righteousness. The old
discord between the churches is rapidly
being done away with. There is COM
ing to be recognized a broad charity
enwraping in its ample folds Protestant
and Catholic alike, which makes
church forms and customs subordinate
to purity of soul and life. 1t is a
charity and a wholesome christianity
which is better for the world and better
for the individual.

Election Bills Probable.

The Kansas house is hot after cleo
ton bills. The judiciary committee IS
considering the constitutiOnaiity of a
bill to grant to women the right to
vote for electors of president and vice
president under the same regulations
as govern male voters. This with the
bill now under consideration to allow
women to vote for state and county
officers and representatives in congress
will if they are passed establish abso-
Lutte equal suffrage in this state. The
United States constitution leaves the
matter entirely in the hands OF the
several states. There is nothing in the
state constitution to prevent the pas
sage and enforcementO of these laws and
the judiciary committee will so report.
The Australian ballot system will
likely be adopted at this session, Both
the republican and the peoples party
conventions declared for it. Each of
the election laws submitted has incOr-
porated it because of its recognized
popularity.

Why He Succeeded.

One of the happiest men We know in
Dickinson county is a farmer who
came here with little but his team and
wagon. During his twelve years resi-
dence here he has paid for and stocked
well a quarter section of land, given
his family all the necessities and many
of the Injuries, and has besides kept
himself fully abreast of the times, tax
ing magazines and papers so numerous
that his neighbors deem him wonder
fully extravagant in that line. He has
succeeded because he has done with
his might what his hand found to do.
He has made farming as much study
as the preacher has the ministry or the
editor, journalism. He did not get
ideas by standing on the street corners
talking politics and whiting dry goods
boxes. He has succeeded because he
made life a business and not a pastime,
and his profession study instead of q
uaksshift.

Who Were They Hitting.

A dispatch from London says:
Everybody here, excepting not a
single politician and only few shrewd
financiers, appears to be under the i'm
preston that Mr.. Grover Cleveland is
running the administrative machinery
of the United States; and it would
surprise a very few Englishmen to see
a Washington dispatch in their news
papers announcing that Mr.. Cleveland
has ordered the arrest and execution
of the bold and bad silver men whose
Vaccinations make Indian rupee paper
fuctuate to degree most distressing
to British investors. !"
Who did the English think they
were hitting few months ago when
they howled at President Harrison for
signing the Mckinley bill and standing
for protection which helped the United
States at England's expense? These
fake cablegrams from London are get
ting as Hshy az specials from Wichita.

0uay's EXPLANATION.

The answer offered in the United
States by Senator Quay to the sensa-
tional charges which have been
brought against him was without a
shadow of ambiguity. he denounced
the originators of the rumors as liars
and the rumors as lies. No man in
public life in recent years has been so
fearfully maligned as Senator Quay
and no man has more amply shown his
ability to keep his mouth shut. With
all the abuse that was heaped upon
him the doughty senator vouchsafed
not a word until he deemed the time
had come for an explanation and then
when it was not expected he made a
full and complete denial. 1t would be
a monstrous travesty on justice if Mr..
Quay had been allowed to retain his
place in the senate if one-tenth of the
charges against him were true. AS a
matter of fact no one except few
bourbon extremists ever thought they
were true. Mr.. Quay has been unfor-
tunate in his financial ventures and
the class of men who are always ready
to kick a man who is down have been
hard after him. He defies his enemies
to bring proof of their charges. Now
is a good time for them to present
their evidence.
