EDITORIAL COMMENT.

KANSAS was ''in it'' at Cincinnati

either. AS the. mysterious Lorenzo D.

A CAREFUL estimate places the num-
ber of persons employed in the tin
plate industry in the United States at
thirty-seven. The wonderful stimulus
to this branch of manufacturing is di-
rectly attributable to the benign aspect
of business superinduced by the McKin-
ley tariff legislation. AS the dinner
bucket brigade, thirty-seven hundred
Thousand, strong, passes this army of
tin-plate workmen, they will be inspired
to sing peans to the great benefactor of
American labor, and resolve never
again to be heard complaining of a
fifty-two per cent. tariff tax on dinner
buckets, clothing, etc., etc.--Newton

There is a rumor current to the effect
that Hutchinson is trying to transplant
Great Bend oysters to beds in the vicin-
ity of the salt Wichita Mirror.
THE experiment will be fruitless.
Great Bend oysters may be very
''fresh," but they are not the under
ground variety and it is our belief that
only the blind, cave-dwelling oyster
could be induced to make itself al
home in the Hutchinson salt holes.

The well-known firm of M. W.

enterprise that should be a good

their soap is manufactured has
been put up at Iwilei, below the
Oahu prison. AS to location per-
haps no better one could have been
selected, that being away from all
dwelling houses. The building is

gagged in soap-making in California,
has been engaged as superintendent
of the works.
Some of the article, brown
soap, has already been manufact-
tured, and it is claimed to be of a
quality superior to great deal of
the imported. The chemicals, etc..
are OF the purest and best that can
be procured from England and
America. A good deal of the i'm
