KANS AS SUGAR.

Deputy Collector McCanse returned
from Medicine Lodge Friday, where he
had been officially in connection with
sugar production of the mill at that
place. He brought with him some speci-
mems Of sugar produced from the sor-
ghum syrup sent to the mill from Ster-
ling by Professor Denton. The sugar is
in the form of live granulations, some
times called in groceries crawling sugar,
and is OF a rich golden color The yield
was four pounds of sugar to the gallon
of syrup, or little more than SO per
cent, and while not quite as much as
was expected is considered quite salts
factory, as clearly demonstrating the
practicability of the Denton theory: shat
is, that the juice of the cane may be re-
duced to syrup by the ordinary open
pan or kettle process. and III this form
shipped to the sugar mills and there re-
duced to sugar. The yield of sugar may
not be quite as much by this process as
by that employed in the first instance
at the sugar mill, but the difference is
much less than the cost of transporta-
ton of the cane by rail to the sugar
mill, which could not be done to profit.
Mr.. McCan5e will forward the samples
to the agricultural department at Wash
ington to be analysed by the govern
ment chemist and to be reported upon
by the department as the result of its
experiments in sugar making from the
sorghum cane.

Of adverse criticism throughout the
country, owing to the recent high politi-
cal and financial position held by him.
1T would seem that while he was score
tary, of the treasury he was harrassed
by his private affairs, and it is to his
credit that he did not use his position TO
better his condition. The dispatches
show that he was an important factor in

Ohio. Communities thrive upon the
enterprise of such men when successful
and should be lenient when adversely
overtakes them, provided their failure Is
an honest one.

a SQUARE STEAL.

It is said, and we guess not denied,
that the journal of the Dunsmore rump
house is to be printed. The work is
now in the hands of the state printer and
several thousand copies are to be print
ed and bound, at a big expense to the
state and a pile OF profit for the state
printer. As the legislature did not au
thorize the work, and as no other power
could constitutionally assume such an
expense or direct an appropriation of the
necessary money out of the state treas
ury, it is presumed that the state officers
ordered it. The governor nor any other
state officer, nor all combined, have no
more right. power or authority to have
the Dunsmore house journal printed at
the expense of the state than they would
have to print the proceedings of camp
meeting. The treasurer should be en-
joined, in the name Of the people, from
paying the oil, or if he pays it, his
bondsmen ought to be sued. Surely the
taxpayers of the state have some rights
and they ought to have some legal pro-
lection from the gang who seem to rec
ognize no law higher than their own
pleasure.

a NALL LITTLE,

Attorney General Little ii seems, in
tends TO go farther than regulate the
price mills shall charge for manufactur
ing flour If successful in his scheme
he will compel the mills to grind wheat
for the farmers for a stipulated per
cent. of the wheat, allowing the farmer
to have his entire crop ground and sell
his flour instead of the wheat. The
farmer becomes -four merchant
and can hold his stock for a rise in the
market, negotiate with foreign countries,
export it for his own account and make
annual trips TO Europe. This man Little
has a great head. Why not have the
railroads carry passengers and freight
for portion of the commodity: and
if that wont work abandon the roads and
return to stage coaches and wagon
freight lines. The mills of Kansas have
to compete with the world today. They
pay more for wheat than it will bear 20
ship on the general market. Milling is
the great industry of the state, and it
remained for Little TO try to cripple the
business in order that his party might
have disaster TO thrive upon. As fast
as the opportunity arrives each Of the
state officers have made asses of them
selves, and a long-suffering public
awaits for the next turn Of the wheel.

acres of this yet under cultivation. The
increase in the number of acres in wheat,

This report has but very little to say of
the manufacturing industries. not hav-
ing the census statistics for 1890, but it
speaks very encouragingly of the sugar
industry, There was a special inspector
appointed to investigate the sugar in
dustry of the state, III regard to which
he says:
This industry is now conducted on a
legitimate basis. and, with good business
ShliISU ldOOly anu
abundant, it is slowly but steadily being
demonstrated, beyond a doubt, that the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum
cane is destined 10 become a
financial success, and one of the greatest
industries of the United States. The
marked improvement i'll the quality of
the cane by scientific cultivation has al
ready more than doubled the quantity
OF sugar from ton of cane; and by the
continued improvement OF cane it is be-
lieved that the production of sugar from
sorghum can be greatly cheapened, and
that it will in time, be produced at no
greater cost than sugar is produced from
tropical cane. Only two factories are
now in Observation-Disclosures Lodge and
Fort Scott. These factories are both
thoroughly equipped in all things neces-
sary to fully demonstrate the pOssihili-
ties of sugar making from sorghum
cane.
In addition to this, Kansas has her
salt mines, her gypsum and marble and
limestone quarries, her coal, zinc and
lead mines. and while her manufacture
ing industries are not largely developed
they viii soon make a showing TO cor
respond with her agricultural products.
