ALBERT S. WILLIS. him as consul
general at Honolulu. Both these gen
tlemen go to their new positions fully
equipped with information in regard to
the intentions of our government with
respect to Hawaii, and the Importance
and delicacy of their duties can hardly
be magnifed.
Mr.. Willis will be remembered as an
old member of the national house of
representatives, in which body he served
five consecutive terms, beginning with
the Forty-fifth and ending with the
Forty-ninth congress. He was man
of considerable influence in Democratic
party councils and held the important
position of chairman Of the rivers and
harbors committee during his last term,
He is native of the Blue Grass State
and was born in Shelby county Jan. %,
i843. After preliminary attendance at
the public schools he graduated from
the Louisville high school and then
taught school for four years, studied law
and was admitted to practice in 1886,
since when he has been continuously en-
gagged in the duties of his profession
He was elected attorney for Jefferson
county in 1870 and reelected in 1874,
holding the Office till he was elected to
congress the first time.
Mr.. Mills, the new consul general, is
a resident of Lynchburg, Va. He was
born in England and is about 81 years
old. Up to 1879 he was a congressional
reporter and after that was connected
with several committees of the house
and senate. Mr.. Bayard, while secre-
tary of state, appointed Mr.. Mills his
private secretary, and Mr.. Blaine trans
ferred him to the consular bureau as
clerk in the correspondence division.
When Mr.. Blount was sent as special
commissioner to Hawaii, Mr.. Mills ac-
companied him as disbursing officer.
and the familiarity thus gained with
Hawaiian affairs is supposed to have led
to his appointment as consul general.

He was with his regiment in most of
the battles of the Army of the Potomac

his regiment by the enemy and held for
nine months as prisoner of war. AT

On the Same Platform Now.

The tariff hearings are nearing con-
clusion. The preponderance of the evil
dence presented to the committee has
been in favor of the protection of Ameri-
can industries by means of tariff.
Another feature of the testimony was
that to the effect that any tinkering with
the present tariff could only result in a
continuance of the uncertainty and dis
trust which have been hanging over the
industry OF the country. This testimony
came alike from laboring men and their
employers. However wide apart these
two interests were in the late presidential
campaign, they are standing on the same
platform now. IL the evidence pre-
sented to the ways and means commit
tee could decide the case there would
lie no tariff reduction.-NewY York Com

for years has been bosh and political
rot, and you have now confessed it. AS

Legally and morally rightly you

A Horse for the Farmers Family.

During the summer season when
the women OF the farmers family
spend many hours of the day in the
hot, eXhauSting air of the kitchen, it
is the farmers duty to provide gen.
tie horse for the exclusive use of his
wife and children. 1 know that
many farmers will raise their hands
in horror at this suggestion of extrav-
agance, but the majority of sensible
men will understand that such an in
vestment will score many points on
the profit side of the account. Any
thing that improves the health and
good nature of the family is profit
able investment, and nothing will so
brighten tired, discouraged woman
as a drive through the life-giying
woods on a warm day. The entire
change of scene, the balmy air and
the almost heavenly rest of such
drive cannot fail to quiet the over
taxed nerves and invigorates the
whole system. If a horse cannot Ee
devoted exclusively to the use of the
wife and children there should be one
that is employed on the farm part
of the day and placed at the disposal
Of the family during the afternoon.
/ have observed farmers who are
much more careful Of their horses
than of their wives and daughters.
A young girl friend of mine, who
lives on a valuable farm, frequently
walks into town, distance of four
miles, after long morning spent in
kitchen work. When demonstrated
with her on one hot day she said that
although there were fourteen horses
on the place, not one Of them was at
her disposal. Those she could drive
were too tired. | wondered If they
were more weary than she looked. I
also wondered how long a young wo-
man Of spirit would content herself
on the farm under such conditions;
also il she would be so unwIse as to
marry farmer who would allow her
to walk or work while his horses were
resting. GA mercifuI man is merci-
ful TO his beast" and he ought also
be merciful to his wife and children.

MIGHTY COSTLY.
The Direct and Indirect Elk.
pense OF POpulism Is
Awful.

Every Kansas farmer should Irvine
his arms and legs about the fact that
the peoples party administration in
Kansas has cost the state heap of
money and will cost it heap more. The
cost Of the attempt to suppress the ma
iority of the lower house OF the last leg
islature by the use of the military, the
cost Of the Botkin impeachment trial,
the cost Of printing the records Of the
Dunsmore house, these and other such
costs and expenses as these are very
great, but they do not compare with
other costs that have been taxed to our
broad-shouldered, but already well-hur-
dened state. When any man in the east
thinks he viii change his location on &C
count of business, or because he is Just
beginning az young man, or for any
good reason, it has long been natural for
him to look to Kansas as good place
to settle in. Kansas has been considered
the state with the best morals, the most
intelligence. and the most satisfactory
social and business circumstances OF any
state in the union. But now this has
changed Men with money are afraid
of the state. They have come to be-
lieve that the conditions here are de-
cidedly dangerous; that cranks and ras-
Gals are in the ascendanct, and that the
best place to go is almost anywhere
rather than here. What does this mean
to Kansas farmers? 1t means a differ
ence in the value and Suitability OF Kan
sas farms. 1t means greatly dimin-
ished demand for land. 1t means fewer
factories, wholesale houses and other
such enterprises and therefore fewer con-
sumers Of farm products. 1t means q
smaller body of wealth from which to
derive public money by way Of taxes. It
means a tendency to drive well-to-do
people from the state people who take
their money with them when they go.
It means an assistance to those who are
our American policy Of protec-
ton, and it is, therefore, partly account
able for the stoppage Of thousands Of !,
mills and factories in this country and
the consequent idleness Of hundreds OF |

A Bad Case Of Shame.

We heard a pretty good story few
days ago. in regard to a man who had
been voting the populist ticket, but who
had seen the error of his way and re-
pented. He was busily engaged shear
ing sheep in the barn, when one OF his
neighbors came up to have a chat with
him. The man had just caught one of
his sheep and commenced to clip the
wool from its tail, when his neighbor
exclaimed, why Bill, / am surprised to
see such an experienced man as Won
commence to shear sheep at the tail.
Well, TIL tell you, he said, ever since I
voted the populist ticket, I have been
ashamed TO even look sheep in the face.

Manuring Orchards in Simmer.

Whether an orchard be bearing or

rarely fails to make it more produc-
tive If used as top dressing there
is little loss The shade Of the tree
keeps the manure from excessive dry
ing, and increases its value as a
mulch. II manure be applied early
in the spring it may make too large
wood growth. Stable manure for
pear trees especially ought to be ap-
piled in July or August. twill then

blight to the tree the following sea-
son. II put on in winter or spring
the manure will be in most active fer
mentation, just when the danger
from blight is greatest. While stable
manure may be best applied now, it
is better to apply mineral fertilizers
late in winter or early in spring, so
that they may be dissolved by rains
and made available during the sum-
mer. With Judious combination of
mineral fertilizers and stable manure
the productiveness OF old orchards
may be greatly increased.
