q stock Of goods that had been seized
by the United States marshal upon
attachment issued by the federal
court. Mr.. Dawes stated in defense
that he had looked up the law upon
the subject the best he could with the
facilities he had at Clay Center and
thought he had authority to act as he
did. Since he had come to Topeka,
however, and examined authorities in
the state library he was satisfied he
was wrong, and asked the court to be
merciful. Judge Riner took pity on
the lgnorsmous and simply ordered
the goods to be returned to the
United States marshal in as good
condition ss when they were taken
out of his possession; aud that the
sheriff of Clay county pay the costs
in the case. IL the sheriff had acted
upon his own Judgment or had taken
the advice Of some school girl IN
stead Of that of Mr.. Dawes he would
not have placed the authority Of q
district court above that Of q federal
court and would not have been
mulched for the costs. The sheriff
is not a lawyer, however, and Mr..
Dawes-well, he is q prominent re-
publican candidate for attorney

THE NEW COURT HOUSE is IT A

JOB 2

WA
Some time ggo the county COM
missioners of Shawnee county were
asking the people TO vote bonds for
the erection of a new court house in
Topeka. The arguments in support
Of the proposition ran about as fol-
lows:
We have the fnest building stone in Che
country down ct the fair grounds belong
ing TO the county. We have a great many
idle men in the city who need work in order
to provide for their families during the
winter. Give as these bonds and We can Se
once put these idle men ct work. We can
utilize our own stone, we can employ home
labor to quarry il and haul IL TO the ground,
and our homo mechanics can erect the
building. We will therefore NOT only secure
q much needed public building, but we will
also carry out a real charity BY helping q
great many idle men in the city to support
their families during the winter.
Aud the people foolshly voted the
bonds as they always do, probably
thinking that they were performing q
religious duty IN thus supplying the
means Of aiding the unemployed.
After the bonds were assured a COM
mittee of lsboring men Of the city
waited upon the commissioners 10
make the request that the work should
be done under the immediate direc-
tion Of the board and not let to q con-
tractor, and that home labor only
should be employed. This committee
was informed that we have a statute
requiring all public buildings to be
let to the lowest bidder, and that the
contractor was, therefore, q necessity.
The commissioners assured the COM
mittee, however, that they would see
to it that the lsboring men Of the city
should get the work

NOTES AND COMMENT.

porOhed among che Cleveland cuckoOS.
1t is said that the president and his
anti.silver friends are opposed TO admit
ting any Of the territories to statehood
because to do 80 would increase the Sil-
YER force in congress.
A movement to make the first Mon
day in September q national holiday has
been endorsed by the labor committee Of
the lower house, and it is said bill viii
be introduced to carry out the plan.
Mr.. Cleveland has grown desperate
over the repeated reisCtiOn Of his candi-
dates for associate justice, and on Mon
day he named Senator Edward White Of
Louisiana, for that position. The ap-
pointment was confirmed.
The associated press is vigorously
assisting Congressman Breckenridge to
show the public what bad woman Miss
Pollard hiss been. Strange that tho
bright congressman never discovered
her wlCkedness until he was prosecuted.
The Burlington Insurance company,
which has been doing an extensive busi-
ness In Kansas, has failed. IL has $780,
600 deposited with the state treasurer
Of Iowa, but how far this will 90 toward
paying off its policy holders has not been
calculated.
During the last twelve nights more
than 1000 hungry people have been
given soup and bread at one Of the Kan
saB City soup houses, says the Journal
Of that city. Very few places are esCap-
ing the effects OF the Sherman Cleveland
prosperity Of the present day.
Kansas City Journal: "ThOse repub-
licsn journals which are bringing the
Cleveland administrsti n out in debt to
Senator Sherman for guidance do not
stop to reflect what an injustice they are
doing Senator Sherman" It's hoss and
hoss between Cleveland and Sherman.
There 10 some significance in the fact
that in many Of the colleges and
churches boys are being drilled in mill
tsry tactics. Rev. Hopkins, OF tho
First Congregational church Of Kansas
City, has begun drilling q company
which already numbers 400 and which
he proposes to increase to 1000.
AS was predicted, the senate has re-
jscEed the Appointment Of Wheeler Fl.
Peckham to be associate justice Of the
supreme court. Like in the case of
Hornblowsr, this was done az q rsbuke
to the president for making an appoint
ment without conierring with the sena.
tors from whose state the sppOintee was
chosen.
Secretary Morton IL in bad repute
even at his home, Nebraska City. A
dispatch from there dated February l6,
says: 1.-THE bitter feeling Of some demo-
Gratis against J. Sterling Morton, score
tsry Of agriculture, developed in q sem
sstionsl manner this morning when it
was discovered that the secretary and
his youngest son, Carl, had been hung
in efigy in the city park A pIacard
stated that the figures represented the
remains Of the Democratic Marching
Club. The figures were soon removed
and the city talked Of nothing else all

bW9 COUuey WAAA 1VO OV @O oAA' AVA
have we any stone IN Kansas that will
do. They have suddenly discovered
that it is necessary to go to Colorado
for suitable material for q Shawnee
county court house. The State Jour-
nal, Saturday evening, February II,
had the following relative to the tour
Of inspection:
The county commissioners will leave TO-
morrow for Colorado to inspect che stone 20
be used in the construction Of the new
court house.
The party which viii leave Topeka al
noon ON the Santa Fe will be Oom posed Of
the following gentlemen. County commits
sionors, J. L. Knight, ]. A. Cam pbell and
d. A. williams; OK Com missioner Samuel
Kerr. County Auditor J. G. Wood, ArOhi-
teCt Holland, Jonathan Thomas, who owns
the Quarries, and Contractor J. @. Watson.
IsiS said the county will mos have 10 pay
tho expenses Of the trip.
"The county will not have to pay
the expenses Of the trip" Pro bably
not directly. II the railroad Compa-
MES get the little job of hauling this
material across the state they can
make ttGt p " them very we'll for che
Expenses Of this trip" and undOubt-
edly the owner Of the Colorado quar-
ries can afford to chip in tr life also
towards their expenses. Not only this,
they can also afford TO pay the COM
missioners handsomely for going to
Colorado for stone; and 1t looks very
much after all as though the railroad
msgnates were the poor devils that
the commissioners were 30 anxious TO
find work for. We are not surprised
at the probable outcome Of this
scheme. The only subject Of SUR
prise is that the people will continue
to vote themselves deeper and deeper
in debt in order to furnish few men
the means 10 carry out such schemes.
If the stone for this court house is
purchased IN Colorado and hauled
across the state by the railroads the
bonds voted will not begin to finish
the building. and further taxation
will be necessary in order to complete
it. Colorado labor will also be likely
to be employed to quarry and handle
the stone at that end of the line; or
If Topeka men should get the work
they will have TO 90 away from home
to do 1t and incur the necessary ad-
ditional expense without additional
compensation. II is not at all prob
able that Topeka men will be paid
more to 90 to Colorado and quarry
stone than Colorado men who are on
the ground can be employed for.
The pretense Of seeking to supply
work to the unemployed Of Topeka
to enable them to provide for their
families during the winter, which
was urged as an argument In favor
of the bonds, was fraud, and the
whole scheme looks very much like
court house job for the benefit Of a
few men and the railroads, and as
usual the people will foot the bill.

Now 9 word concerning the great
wheat crop of 1892. The Capital
says Of it;
We merely wish to point out that in 1892
the United States produced 6l2 million
bushels-17O millions more than enough TO
satisfy the widest requirements on the
army ration basis.
On page 419 Of the report Of the
secretary of agriculture for 1892 we
are told that the total production Of
the United States for that year was
515,949OOO bushels, a slight differ
ence from the Capitals figures Of
96,O51, ,0OO bushels. Now let us take
the actual product of 1892 and see
about the great surplus. Subtract
ing the 96,O51,OOO bushels from the
Capitals 17O,OOO,OOO and the great
surplus dwlndles to 73,949,0OO bush
els. But the Capital has taken no
account whatever of the actual mar
ket of that year any more than 1t
does ordinarily of the demand based
upon the necessities Of the people
We actually exported in 1892, 1885,
518,441 bushels of wheat, and in addi
tion thereto, 17,4O8.713 barrels Of
-four. This -four is equivalent to
85,2O2 693 bushels OF wheat. Our
total exports that year were there
fore, 21O, 1921, ,134 bushels. This taken
from the total product leaves 3O5,-
127,866 bushels for home use. Now
assuming that the population of the
country has not increased since 1890,
let us see about the surplus. We
demonstrated that the demand of the
American people, measured by their
necessities rather than by their
ability to buy, was 644,113085 bush
els. There was, therefore, an actual
deficiency in 1892 Of 136, ,985,219 bush
els, and still the tendency Of the price
was downward.
We also showed in our former ar
ticle that the worlds product Of 1893
was 4,647, ,042 bushels less than that
of 1892 aud wheat is now lower than
it was ever before known and still the
bottom is not reached. There is evil

DOGS AND DEER.
The Latter Being Driven From Their
HaunCs by Hounds.

The Latter Being Driven From Their
Haunts by Hounds.
The Grass Valley Telegraph of recent
date has this to say concerning the result
of using hounds for deer hunting:
There was plenty of deer in this part
of the country month or so ago, but
now they are getting thinned out. An
old deer hunter informs us that the rea-
son of this is that there are few hunters
in the country who have packs of hounds
with which they hunt the deer. These
dogs are of high breed and when they
once get on the track of deer they follow
it increasingly, thus driving the fright
ened animal out of the country far be-
yond the range OF the hunter. When
deer are once run out of a range they
seldom return To it. The farmers in the
vicinity where the deer were, say they
are going to put stop to deer running
over their land"
In many States the use of hounds for
running deer is make unlawful. 1t is
thrilling sport, to be sure, but-as the
Telegraph says-deer will not stay in a
locality where they are hunted with
hounds.
There are great many deer now be-
tween Shingle Springs and Latrobe, in
III Dorado County, near the Sacramento
line, whereas some years ago they were
very scarce there as the result OF being
frequently chased by dogs. Certain San
Francisco parties got to going there with
packs of hounds and drove the deer of
into the mountains.
Before they quit the business, how
ever, the ranchers had killed Oft many OF
the hounds, and il finally became dan
gerous to turn one loose on deer trail
anywhere near Latrobe. Now the deer
are back again, and anyone who under
stands deer hunting can easily get all the
venison he wants in that locality during
the open season.
