After the first of July the entire
liquor trafc of South Carolina is to
be carried on by the State. Heavy
fines are imposed upon violators. So
after the above date this common
wealth can "play both ends against

ming every time. 1t gets the profits
on all the liquor legally sold and the
fines ON all illegally sold. But what
business for sovereign State to
engage in!

no REPEAL OR NOT.
The New York Sun Plunges a
Shot into the Democratic
Camp ON the Bank
Tax Question.

As people cling to the possibility OF
perpetual motion, of squaring the circle,
and of the transmutation of base metals
into gold, SO our business men cling to
the idea that it is possible to have a
currency which shall contract automat-
ically, as well as expand, notwithstand-
ing the teachings of experience that cur
rency once brought into existence stays
in existence, and is never Withdrawn
from circulation until its withdrawal is
made compulsory. This is one of the
objections to the repeal Of the prohibito-
~ tax on state bank notes. Take off that
tax and the country will be flooded with
all sorts of paper money, which, wheth-
or "ssfe'' or unsafe, will, besides doing
other mischief, initiate prices, and lead to
excessive speculation, to be followed in
due time by revulsion far worse than
that from which we are now suffering. A
currency to be really useful must be in
elastic. Only on this condition will it
check the excessive expansion of credit,
which by it's own inherent nature is elias
tic, and keep enterprise within due
bounds.-New York Sun Dem.
The chief of Democratic papers thus
shows the wickedness of that plank in
the Democratic National platform, de-
claring for repeal of the tax on state
bank circulation. What will the great
party of straddlers do?

As against the lawless teachings of
Lewelling, Simpson and Clemens, let Us
direct the attention of the people to the
last words Of Washington. Seeing the
danger of Just such conditions as we
have in Kansas to-day Washington in
his farewell address said:
''Our government has just claim to your
confidence and support. Respect for its au-
thority, compliance with its laws, acquies-
ence in its measures are duties enloined by
the fundamental maxims of true liberty.
The basis of our political systems is the right
of the people to make and to alter their con-
situations of government. But the consti-
ton which at any time exists. until changed
by an explicit and authentic act of the whole
people, is sacredly obligatory on all"
Let us place the above before the peo-
pie along side of Simpsons and LEVEL
ing's doctrines.

ington, sis duty enjoined by the fund

"Let not the technicalities Of the law

STOCK AND FARM.

Garden City Imprint: The sweet pc.
tato crop in this county is good one and
farmers engaged in this industry will
have several thousand bushels to dispose
Of at digging time. The market in a
small way opened at $3.50 per bushel.
Jobbers are now paying $1.O0 per bush
ell for shipping.
Junction City Republican: Captain
Hill was in Clay county and the north
ern part of Geary and says that he found
the corn crop better there than they
have been for six years. He contracted
for lot of corn at 20 cents per bushel,
and has sent $50 head of cattle up there
to fatten for the market.
Garden City Imprint: Mcdowell and
Bradbeer, south of Lakin, have a force
OF rs men and boys this week, gathering,
hauling and storing their big broom
corn crop. This is busy place and will
be so for several days. It is not only a
good crop of good broom corn but they
are paying good wages for having it
gathered and taken care of.-The tomato
crop is one Of the best ever grown here
and viii command good price to the
close of the season.
Clahin Banner: A number Of farmers
report great many cattle going blind
from what is known as the 'shorn fy."
The fly resembles the common house
fly but is not quite 30 large. At the
base of the horn the little pests gather
in great swarms and deposit their nits,
which when Matched out IN the form of
maggots cause the animal to go blind.
A little attention at the right time will
prevent this state Of affairs. A mixture
Of turpentine and lard or little coal
tar applied to the base Of the horn is all
that is necessary.

They Stole q Locomotive.

1.-THE most successful, and, at the
same time, most unique civil service
examination know Of occurred dur
ing the war;" said T. c. De Land, of
the Examining Board at the Treasury,
to Washington Post man. THE
COnfederacy was very much in need
of a railway locomotive in order to
operate their supply system. 1t was
in 1864 and they had not the means
to buy an engine, so the invarlable
alternative arose-steal one A band
of one hundred men was selected
from Lees army and placed under
the command of big six-foot-four
Georgian, who had been foreman Of
a stone quarry and was more or less
skilled in the use of derricks, etc.
He took his men up into Maryland
and they tore up section of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway tracks,
tagged the next train and with moth
ing on earth save plenty OF rope,
those one hundred men carried the
locomotive flfty-two miles over hills,
across streams, through boys and
woods, until they struck a line. the
Contederacy had built Then they
ran the engine down 10 Virginia.
When the President of the Baltimore
& Ohio heard of the feat he couldn't
believe 1t. He went out and person
ally inspected the scene; went over
the route and declared it the most
wonderful feat Of engineering ever
accomplished. After the war be dele
gated man to find the leader of the
band. He was lacated in Georgia.
Mr.. Garrett sent for him and on the
strength Of that single,feat made him
roadmaster OF his entire system of
railroads. ANY man that can pick
up an engine with fishing-lines and
carry il over a mountain has passed
his examination with me" said he.

IGNORANT OF KANSAS.
Governor Lewelling a Stranger
to Kansas People and
Their History.

Suppose Kansas farmer needed an
assistant to help him oversee his farm
one on whom ne could rely to run the
whole business in the event of his own
absence or illness. In other words sup
pose this farmer wanted q man who
could be fully trusted on the score of
ability as well as honesty to manage his
farm and the profits arising from its OPP
Grafton. Who would such farmer Sc
lect for such duty? Would it be the
first tramp that came meandering up
the road? Would it be the first man
who CHANGED along, tramp or no tramp?
Would it be green and untried neigh
boris boy? Would it be his own friend,
or relative even, who had had no
experience as q farmer? The answer
to all these questions is no. And
vet the farmers Of Kansas selected for their
servant in the high position Of governor,
q man new in Kansas, OF unsavory rep
utation in the country he was urged to
leave, without experience as lsw-maker,
and with no Kansas record except the
record OF having gone broke in real estate
gambling and afterwards engaged in an
occupation which the farmers OF Kansas
have never much admired, the occupa-
ton Of lending money for the biggest
interest that the distress Of the people
could make them pay. He became gov
ernor Of Kansas without knowing who
had been in the Office before, or what
their records we're. When Judge Adams
and Colonel Holiday, Of the state histof-
ical society, called on the governor to get
an order permitting the pictures of the
governors Of Kansas. to be taken to the
Chicago fair soma comment was made on

Salt and Sawdust.

Bees. like all other creatures, relish
salt and should have it placed before
them occasionally in a diluted form.
I found the bees gathered by hun
dreds on the bridge where the sheep
were sailed. Some rover must have
found the spot by accident and then
Informed the colony Of his discovery,
for there were no flowers near the
spot to attract them. To give bees
access to salt just sprinkle some on
the sawdust in front of the hive.
The rain will dilute it properly and
the sawdust will retain it for them.
Bees are annoyed and hindered in
their work by the grass growing up
before the entrance Of the hive. To
prevent this put bushel of sawdust
before each hive, spread out evenly
and just level with the entrance.
This furnishes them with a fine
parade ground. and a good foothold
for alighting and starting. National

DRIVEL OR BUNCO.
dwellings, Proposed North and
South Railroad Scheme is
Either One or the
Other.

Our tramp governor, Mr.. Lewelling,
is loudly advocating the construction OF
a north and south railroad from Dakota
to the Gulf of Mexico in order that Kan
sas farmers may send their grain to
Europe by way of the Gulf of Mexico
rather than by the way of Chicago. In
this matter, as in all others, our tramp
governor is either a fool or knave.
Quite likely he is both. If he is in earnest
about this railroad scheme as patriotic
measure, then he is fool. The Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, The
Missouri Pacific Railroad, The M. K. &
r. r. r., The Union Pacific Railroad,
and other roads, all have lines running
all or part of the way from the North to
the Gulf of Mexico. They are quite as
anxious for these lines 10 do business as
Mr.. Lewelling is. The fact is that the
Gulf of Mexico does not afford enough
opportunity for the shipment of grain to
make the southern route paying one.
If Galveston Harbor had deep water the
situation would be improved. If it had
ten ships there for every one it now has,
the chances for cheap shipment OF grain
would be better. The difference between
ship that can carry load both ways,
and one that can carry load only one
way, is the difference between low rates
for grain and high rates for grain. Ships
can take grain out of New York Haroor
at a very low rate because they have
brought merchandise across and must
go back loaded or empty. Galveston
Harbor is a very long ways from the
center of population and the proportion
of ships that would have to 60 empty
to Galveston in order to go away loaded
would be very great. Nobody but fool
would ever think of building a railroad
from Dakota to Galveston with the pres
emit condition of things and with the
present promise of small traffic at ruin
GUS rates. We say nobody but fool
would think this; we mean nobody but
fool would think of it seriously. If our
tramp governor is villain instead of a
fool, that changes the situation. If he
is trying to build railroad in order to
get suckers to buy worthless bonds for
his own enrichment, then he is simply
working the same kind of bunco game
on bond buyers that he has worked on
the Kansas tax payers. The Dakota,
Wichita & Gulf Railroad, which the gov
ernor has had organized, is about as
practicable as pipe line to the moon to
fetch moonlight to the earth.

Toiling a Knell.

The traveller through some Of the
more remote rural regions of Maine
occasionally hears what most men Of
three score and ten remember as a
familiar sound In their young days
the tolling Of a church bell on the
death of denizen Of the neighbor-
hood, the strokes numbering the
years Of the persons life.
There is something particularly
solemn about the use Of the bell, 80
long neglected in the more popular
communities; and to the writer no
funeral service ever brought the fact
Of death home with the same pathos,
as listening to the unexpected sound
Of the death bell," startling the
communitv into hush, broken for q
few minutes only by the Low, whis-
pered query: why, who can that
be?" Then, az the tolling went On,
the count was kept carefully to help
solve the mystery.
The tOlling began usually very soon
after the breath had left the BODY.
and before the news had spread

HIS BACKING WAS GOOD,
But He Was Not the Editor OF
an Abusive Populist Pa
per.

The Topeka journal recently con.
tanned the following about the appoint
ment OF Labor Commissioner Todd in
place of Harry Ives who had prime
backing:
Labor Commissioner Todd denies the
charges made editorially in the morning
paper that there is only one union man
in his Office. There is no authority in
truth or in fact for what he said, says
Mr.. Todd. Il am a member of the
Knights of Labor and have been for many
years, and my paper is the official organ
OF that order in my district. The other
members have often honored me with
important positions in the order. can
60 into any Knights of Labor convention
and sit as delegate without being
elected, under the rules of the order.
That shows they have some confidence in
me, doesn't it. Mr.. Baker, my chief clerk,
is also member of the Knights of Labor.
It is all foolishness to talk about man
who was born ON stump farm in Illinois
and was brought up to split rails and
make RATS, as never having done an hon
est days work in his life.
In my paper, the ElDorado Advocate,
nobody ever saw a word favoring tho
sub-treasury scheme. AS populist, I
am stalwart, but respect the views of
others and have not hesitated to condemn
some of the moves of my own party.
Il was appointed labor commissioner
with very little effort on my part. I had
my application in, and that was all. I
stayed at home and attended to my bust
ness, because I have business to at
tend to.
My appointment was DUE" and the
records of the governors Office will bear
me out in it, ito the dropping of Ives by
his supporters. If the support Ives had
at first had stayed by him, he would
have been appointed. I heard the gov
ernor say, ANY man with the support
that Ives had will be appointed, if the
support sticks" Mr.. Walters, presi-
dent of the Miners Federation of the
United States, was among the men who
changed their support from Ives to me.
They went to the governor and asked
that their former recommendations be
not considered. All this was private
and never got into the papers. Why
this was done is only hearsay with me.
I understand it was because Ives was
the author of labor day souvenir in
Topeka last summer that was unfriendly
to the populists. I do not know Mr..
Ives. He may be a nice gentleman. I
have no desire to antagonize the fedora
ton of labor. but I think it is only
just to say these things in self-defense.
1t was practical impossibility for the
of Harry Ives to leave him.
They never did leave him. Lewelling ap-
pointed Todd because the latter was run
ming just the sort of a NANCY little news
paper that Lewelling likes. Todd had
every sign out of being the pusillanimous
little sneak thief, that his act proved him
to be in his theft and publication of Judge
Horizons letter from the crazy woman to
whom he gave gentlemanly assistance
On the cars. Nobody but skunk would
ever have seen anything wrong in the
etter and nobody but the same sort of
an animal would have ever given it to
The press after first stealing it. Ives
was too decent for LewelIing.

Hints to Butser Makers.

Good butter cannot be made from
cream which has become overripe, MOI
from cream which has been allowed
to get too warm. Sixty-six degrees
is the highest point cream should
ever reach. No matter If cooled
again before churning. it will not
make butter having the same grain
and flavor, and will soften alta lower
temperature than cream which has
never passed that point. On the
other hand, nothing Is gained by
churning the cream too cold. II il Is
properly ripened, just sour enough 30
that it is nicely thickened. it will
make very fine butter IL churned at
66 degrees In winter. but it should
not be more than 81 or SO degrees in
summer. Much time may be gained,
with no loss of quality in the butter,
by churning 1t at this temperature,
provided the buster Is cooled as soon
as the globules appear, to 81 degrees.
using either ice or cold water. Never
use ice that is not perfectly clean and
pure for cooling cream or butter.
Salt assists the butter globules to rise
to the top of the buttermllk, render
ing the separation easier A pint Of
salt to four gallons of cream is
about the right proportion. Use only
the best salt for butter. To test it,
pack into common glass tumblers but
ter from the same churning, each be-
ing sailed with different brand of
salt. Mark each one plainly and set
away for number weeks. Never
use hot water upon milk pals until
they have first been thoroughly rinsed
in cold water. Soap should never be
used about any milk utensils 1t is
unnecessary and entirely out of place
Always strain milk through a fine
wire strainer and then through cloth.
A single trial of the cloth strainer
will convince any one that its use is
imperatively necessary in order to
have all impurities removed. Four
thicknesses Of butter cloth fastened
to the under side of the wire strainer
by a tin ring which slips over it, hold
ing it in place, is very satisfactory
