Congressman Blanchard of Louisiana
thinks that from no other source can
the same necessary amount of revenue
be obtained by the government SO easily
md cheaply as by a tariff tax of one and
half cents pound on sugar. That is
the Democratic idea, and, of course. it
will be tried. As before stated. the
present bounty paid by the government
on home-produced sugar imposes a tax
of about Ten cents per capita upon the
entire people of this country. while a

r. sometimes happened during the
era of reconstruction" in South Caro-
ina that the ,quondam slave was pro-
noted above his former master. So it
happened that Pompey Smash. a coal
black negro, became trial justice.
It was not long before Pompey had
ease before him. When the jury arose
and began moving toward the adjoin-
ing room for consultation, one of the
lawyers interposed, and said: MAY it
please your honor, you have not charged
the jury"
Whereupon Judge Pompey gathered
up himself. and with all possible digni-

The railroad commissioners are having
some more trouble with Wichita. Were
il not for Wichita the commissioners
would not have much to do save to draw
their salaries.-Lawrence Journal
There is a great big chunk of truth
in the foregoing bit of sarcasm. Being
the special victim of the DETERMINATIONS
practced against the interior of the
state by the railroads, Wichita would
be a very craven if she did not resent
the outrages. And, furthermore, these
facts seem to inspire the balance Of the
state with q waiting mood-to wait for
Wichita TO take the lead. But, that's
ali right. Wichita knows her rights,
and knowing them, maintains camp on
The trail where she will always be
found.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
Blaze fin the Benedict & Burneam Co.'S
 Offica Causes Q Loss of SEQ, 900.

A Blaze fin the Benedict & Burneam Co.'S
 Onice Causes a Loss of S2O,0OO.
 An alarm of fire from box 45, the private box of the Benedict & Burnham company, at 7:20 last evening, caused quite a commotion throughout the city. The fire WITS discovered by Owen Don- nelly, who happened to be in the ship ping room of the rolling mill and saw smoke and flame in the oil room, which is on the bottom floor of the office building. His cries of fire brought the men who are working nights in the roll ing mill to the spot with the company's fire apparatus, while Watchman Cran- dall sent in the alarm. Five streams were playing on the blaze in few minutes and the burning oil was being floated out along the iron floor. The blaze worked up the wooden staircase to the top floor with great rapidity, the
 mansard roof, with which the office
 building is covered, proving a great obstacle to the firemen. The building is
 two story brick structure; the north side of it contains the offices, officers rooms, etc, which were considered the handsomest in the city. The south side contained on the first floor a room m which the supplies of all kinds used in
 the works are kept, and on the second floor a large storage room. The fire
 burned fiercely along the roof and the dense smoke from the oil nearly suffo, cated the firemen on top of the bulldinR' The recall was not sounded until 10:45. \ The cause of the fire IS not explained
 and the only plausible theory seems to
 be spontaneous combustion. The Il watchman's dial shows that the button \ was pressed in the oil room at 6:57 by Watchman Church. Treasurer D. L'
 Frisbie says that $20,000 will be neces
 sary to repair the building. The loss if fully covered by insurance. The firt department rendered good service ant
 the company's private fire company
 also, is entitled to praise for confininl the blaze to the office building.
