habits have changed very little. The
Indians speak but little Of anything
but a patois OF Spanish. Their women
are not fond Of overmuch dressing.
They work pretty hard, much harder
than the lower class of Mexicans, whom
they despise and look down upon with
contempt. .
They farm and make very good pot
terry. and shoot and sell their furs and
carry wood in turn to the towns, where
they sell it or exchange it for the nee
essaries of life. As in olden times. land
is held in common, and there are
chiefs, Just as old. who govern the pue-
bios Each pueblo is like little re-
public OF itself, and it is very seldom
that an Indian malefactor ever gets in
to the outside courts. The punish
ment meted out to wrong-doers by the
heads Of the family in the pueblo is
generally just, and one rarely Or never
hears of family matters being taken
before the white men for adjust
ment
The people, on all subjects but their
religion, talk freely and pleasantly to
strangers, and haven't the least objec-
ton to a mans walking all over the
pueblo. The women and children fol-
low the visitor around, and when he
leaves hurrah for him and wave their
hands at him until he is lost to sight.

The Local Papers Power.

The immense power local news
paper possesses in attracting trade to
the town in which it is published or
diverting it into other channels can
hardly be estimated. Further, it is a
matter that is seldom considered as an
important factor in towns prosperity,
for the simple reason that business men
do not give it thought He who Will
impartiallv consider this assertion will
be convinced of the truth of it. The
local paper is very naturally biased in
favor of the place of its publication,
and if given a fair living patronage by
home business men will guard we'll
their interests, Just as the merchant
guards the interests of his individual
customer But if a niggardly support
is doled out to it, and it is compelled to
solicit custom from neighboring cities,
it cannot in justice to those persons
exert itself in behalf of its own town, as
it otherwise would Try a system OF
liberality in the matter OF advertising
expenditure and mark the result.

wheel to pieces. The car that wa
used for carrying the Krupp gun will
be used for carrying the seventy-ton

WurrentOn Record.
The command in the Bible that we
should labor six days is just as imperi-
tive and binding as that we should rest
on the seventh. The man who does not
labOr-that is to say, is not engaged IN
some useful employment during the
six days. lust as much violates the com
n,andnents. as the man who labOrs on
the seventh dav. No man has a right
20 be idle and the man who refuses to
labor for q living and beats a living out
of his neiohbOrs or kin folks, is a des-
nicable character and should be made
to work by the State. There should be
some law under which every man should
be required to earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow. Of course this does
not apply to man who has sufficlen1
means to enable him to live without
labor. but, in every community can be
found able bodied men who have nc
means and yet they spend their time
in loafiing. They have to eat and weal
clothes. and if they do not earn these
things themselves, somebody has t'
work to earn them for them.

National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
CHE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

The attention of Plan ers
and Agents is called to ne
following letter from SIR.
JOHN A. SCOTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regard ag
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
Just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAINAKu, Hmo, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1894.
Hon. Wa G. IRWIN, Honolulu, ii. L.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours OF Il q
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
Iwould beg 10 say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more l see OF
its capabilities, the better pleased / arm
that put it in, as l am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrats-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons Of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the Intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill OF a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is a saving of four az men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
| by the carrier to the shredder. It has
| increased the extraction f.om to
per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
| boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
| demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more OF 1t,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
| attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the freh IN
| have less difficulty in maintaining uni
| form pressure of steam than formerly.
| / will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 10
see the machine at work TO fully app e.
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,

benefit of railroad wreckers. Gov
eminent has nothing whatever to do
with the operation OF the roads any
more than it had before the receivers
were appointed, and the Capital
knows it.
One thing more. The editor of the
Capital is in total ignorance of the
whole subject of government owner
ship of railroads, or else he designs
deliberately to deceive his readers
upon the subject. In either case he
has no claim upon the confidence Of
the people. If he would read the
late work Of Ex-Governor Larsbee Of
Iowa. upon this subject he would
learn from good republican authority
that this is about the only govern
ment on earth to-day that does not
own the whole or a sufficient number
of it's railroads to control the rates
and establish the regulations by
which all roads are governed, and he
might learn further that government
ownership is attended with many ad-
vantsges to the people that Ameri-
can citizens do not enjoy, and none
of the catastrophes predicted by the
Capital. What the editor Of the
Capital most needs to qualify him
for respectable newspaper work is a
little information and. honesty enough
to use it.

cratic friends if they ever saw. a dol
lar that was issued by the govern
ment that was not equal in debt-pay-
ing power to every other dollar? We
will pay a liberal reward for such a
dollar as a curiosity if it can be
found.
(4) Finally, after asking the above
questions, just ask your old party

their national platforms of 1892
really mean anyhow. Are either Of

WHAT OF GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS?

During the last week the country has been
treated 10 ans object lesson on the work
ing.Of the scheme Of government ownership
Of railroads. II the railroads Of the country
were in possession Of the government the
Omaha riots last week would have had q
very different settlement. Public traffic, if
not actually suspended, would be seriously
interrupted on all trunk lines by train loads
Of tramps and sdvsnturerS on gala ride to
Washington. AS co-psrtners in the owner
ship Of the roads the most INDECENT would
demand o free excursion TO Washington
and would probably be successful In forcing
their Olaim.-CRpit@l, April 20.
Just what is the "obiect lesson" sf-
forded by the situation at Omaha or
elsewhere in this country that is any
argument against the government
ownership Of railroads is beyond the
comprehension Of ordinary mortals.
There are no railroads in this coun-
try owned or operated by the gov
eminent, and nothing that has oc-
Cured anywhere has any bearing
whstever upon the subject except to
show the necessity Of government
ownership and management. The
Capital talks of trainloads of tramps
and adventurers as co-psrtners in the
ownership Of the roads, and the most
worthless and indlgenp demanding
free excursions to Washington. Such
nonsense is an insult to the most or
dinary intelligence. The Capital
overlooks the fact that the tramp"
the "adventurer'' the worthless and
the INDECENT" of the present day are
the product of republican rule, and
that the 'object lesson" which the
people are now observing is afforded
under corporation management OF
railroads. It overlooks the furthRr
fact that by the time the govern
ment is ready to assume the control
of frsilroadsit will have so far changed
our social system as to afford to all
American citizens such equal oppor-
tunlties in life as to do away with
such products of republican rule as
the tramp and the adventurer.

STAND UP FOB KANSAS.

We are under obligations to Hon.
F. D. Coburn, state secretary Of sgri-
culture, for q copy of his quarterly
report for the quarter ending March
81, 1894, which contains much inform.
alton that will be of interest to Kan
sas people. There is one item in par
ticular to which we desire to call
attention just at this time.
We have heard a great deal about
the ruin Of Kansas credit as a result
of Popullst success in the state. The
Topeka Capital and other disreput-
able and conscienceless papers never
tire of ringing the changes on this
subject. One page 33 Of Mr.. Coburn's
report is some good, square republi-
can testimony to which we invite the
attention of people in general and Of
good honest republicans in psrticu-
lar. The article to which We refer is
entitled, ''Our Standing in the East"
and begins with the following letter:
STATE OF KANSAS, DEPARTMENT. OF AG-
RICUETURR, CAPITOL BUILDING, To.
PBKA, KAs., April A, 1894.
Charles S. Gleed, Topeka, KGs.:
My DEAR SIR:-Having observed the fire.
quenoy of your business trips TO the eastern
states, it has occurred TO me that you can
say something Of interest and value to Kan
sas readers on the subject of the present
status Of our state in the industrial, COM
meroial and financial world. Anything
that will encourage and give renewed faith
to Kansas people they certainly deserve and
want; anything that will instruct them they
ought to want. If you will kindly answer
the subjoined questions, shall be greatly
obliged. Yours truly, F. D. CoBURN.
The first question of Mr.. Coburn
and Mr.. Gleed's answer to it are as
follows:
What will you say Of the present general
reputation Of Kansas, and how il Oame TO
be as it is2
The general reputation Of Kansas is very
bad among superficial observers; fair
among the middle class observers, and
first-class among those who observe Crit-
oally.
The superficial observers are those who
know nothing Of Kansas except what they
flnd in the crime and freak departments Of
the big papers. The newspapers must sell
