The appointment of Mapes, Senator
Martins candidate, to the postoffice at
Kansas City, is logically u knock out for
the stalwart Democrats, although the
explanation of why it was made, i. e. .
the presidents avowed and repeated pur-
pose at the beginning of his administra-
ton that no relative of his OF his family
would be given appointment offices, is
plausible enough as far as it goes. The
next appointment for Kansas will 60 to
an anti-fusionist. and maybe the next,
and the next. Meanwhile the fusion
lists having been recognized will fiatter
themselves that they are strictly in it,
and proceed upon that presumption.

FACTS ABOUT SUGAR.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The total amount of sugar consumed
by the people of the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80. 1892,
was 4,024. 1861 pounds. This would
be about 500 pounds per capita TO the
entire population. We are the largest
consumers of sugar per capita of any
nation in the world excepting England,
which uses 7S.o7 pounds per capita.
Of the sugar consumed by the people
Of Ihis country during the fiscal year
1892, 1856, 500, 165 pounds were imported,
"a ,659, 200 pounds were manufactured
from imported molasses and the balance,
about Az, Sa3. $50 pounds, was produced
in this country. We manufacture only
about one-tenth of the sugar we con-
sumo. The variety Of sugar We produce
is as follows:

The great Peter Cooper is credited
with the following rare bit of common
sense:
''ln all towns where a newspaper is
published every man should advertise
even if nothing more than telling his
name and the business he is in. 1t not
only pays the advertiser, but lots of peo-
pie at distance know that the town
you reside in has prosperous class of
business men. As seed is sown so it is
recompensed. Never pull down the
sign if you do business, for it often indi-
Gates that your grip commercially is
broken. The iudicious advertiser will
receive ten dollars for every one invest
ed in the columns of local newspaper"

A novelty in ordnance now in process
OF construction at the naval gun foundry
in Washington is an eight-inch breech-
loading rifle, composed of a nickel steel
tube, jacket and hoop, to be assembled
upon plan proposed by Mr.. William
Sellers of Philadelphia. If this method
OF manufacture should prove successful
new tubes might be used with the old
jackets and hoops, thus virtually making
new gun out of an old one at The mere
cost of an interior tube. Nickel steel
has never before been used in the manu-
facture of guns, and the ordnance
experts are noting the details of this
experiment with keen interest.

POPULIST MENDACITY,

When asked about her views of the spe-
| cial session question, Mrs. Lease said thai
the legislature viii surely sit this sum-
| mer The extra session will be called by
| Governor Lewelling latter corn planting, >
| a time contingent upon the season. She
says that there is a very strong sentiment
| among the Populisfs in favor of special
| session and that Governor Lewelling is
hearing from it.
! w hat enactmepts do the Populists
| want2" was asked of Mrs. Lease
They want railroad legislation chiefly,
she answered
| "Then the people are displeased because
the Populists killed the Republican rail
road bill?"
sou, there was nothing in that Greenlee
BILL"
| But it provided for the election of COM
mlssloners by the people, for which the
Populisis have been asking for years.
Yes, but we want law sonnet hing like
| the Iowa act kansas City Jorr"al
This is fine specimen of Populist
| mendacity, and at the same time is a
good sample of the stuff used to ba IN
boozle tie rank and file of that party.
'There was nothing in that Greenlee
bill. We want law like the
Iowa act
The Greeniee railroad bill, passed By
the Republican house and rejected by
the Populist senate, was verbatim copy
Of the Iowa law in its provisions relating
to the establishment of maximum freight
rates. In addition to this it contained
many provisions to strengthen and make
more effective the provisions taken from
the Iowa statute. The Greenlee bill also
provided, as does the Iowa law, for the
election of railroad commissioners
by the people; and it was finally
rejected By the Populist senate
solely on this ground. The proposition
submitted by the senate to the house on
the last day of the session was, that the
bill would be accepted by the senate if
the house would only abandon the first
section which provided for eIecting COM
mlssloners by the people. This was re-
fused by the house conferees for the
reason that both parties were pledged to
this measure and could not honorably
abandon it. The senate therefore killed
the bill because they were not willing to
agree to the first section giving the peo-
pie the right to elect railroad COM
missioners.
The Populists deliberately voted down
the Iowa law" and now they are howl
ing because they did not pass it.
They got themselves into a hole by
their own stupidity, 50 big and SO deep
that they can't see bottom, and now
they are beseeching Lewelling for all
extra session to enable them to pull
themselves out.
The people of this state are opposed to
an extra session; and what Kansas
wants is rest. But now it seems that
the Populist shysters and boodlers who
dlsgraced the state during one session
are not satisfied. They want to try their
hands again and saddle the taxpayers
with the cost of another session merely
to demonstrate tn continuing imbecii-
ty of the same crowd.
Reformer McAleney testified that there
was gang of blackmailers in the
''Dunsmore House" Perhaps it is in
tended TO give these fellows another
chance. When the people of Kansas
get one more whack at them there won't
be enough of them left to organize
committee on spittoons.

Kansas has had her FIJI.

From the 4. C. Star.
The movement for an extra session of
the Kansas legislature seems to have
made considerable Roadway among the
Kansas Populists. The demand for an
extra session of the Legislature in Kan
sas is about as pressing as is the demand
fo- an artificial ice plant in Alaska.
Kansas has had her fill of the legislating.
The people who pay the taxes are tired
of it. But the men whose parched maws
thirst for fame and whose moist palms
itch for Doodle care little for the tax
payers. The governor will do well to
get a new set of counselors before he
pulls the string and brings down a state
calamity in the form of an extra session.
