GUNS AND BoYONErs INSPECTED.
Colonel Hoisington Takes In the MiIitia
Men of Wichita

The inspection of company A, Second
regiment, Kansas National guards, and
rhe Second regiment band at the armo-
~ last night WAS quite fiattering TO the
boys The inspection was conducted
by Colonel Hoisington, assisted by Ma
tor Drew, adjutant-general; and Major
Edward Hays. All the officers express
ed themselves as we'll pleased with the
band and company boys, and that the
class of young men who had associated
themselves with the organization here
were far above the average, which fact
all who know the boys are aware of.
The arms and equipments inspected
by Major Drew were pronounced 10 be
in the best order possible, considering
the amount of service they have seen.
In drill tactics the company was rated
very close UP 10 the front row in the
state. wllioh is quite flattering while
considering some of the organizations
vsnich have far better advantages.
The band rendered a few selections
which were considered exceptionally
well executed; the band needs little
more alutenttion In the hne of maneuver
and to accomplish this a good drum
major would be quite a help to the
handling of the band, and also to their
appearance.
The errnory IS becoming too small for
proper action in drilling and the streets
VIII have TO be resor-ted to again soon.
The battery boys VIII undergo inspec-
zion tomorrow, when all the boys VIII
Zoe present.
Colonel Hofsington STATED further that
he would DO anything fn his power to
assist the boys in procuring any equip
7nents they might need and any other
encouragement he could give them and
hoping that they would still maintain
rhe excellent standard they have held

ler's appointment.

Sheriff-elect Cone made the appoint
ments for his ofice yesterday and they
are as follows:
James T. Dorsey, under sheriff.
H. Clay Kensler, deputy she~if.
William Meyers. clerk.
]. NJ. Furnish. court bailif.
Lee Cone Turnkey.
There was considerable dissatisfac-
ton manifested in all quarters because
Bedford Wood was thrown overheard
He had been promised the position OF
deputy sheriff by Mr.. Cone and it was
taken for granted in all quarters that
he would undoubtedly get it. a great
many people voted for Mr.. Cone with
that understanding: at least that Is
what enough people said yesterday who
could. Of the election was held today,
make Henry Schsd sheriff. The whole
thing seemed 10 Se fixed long before the
election and the friends Of Mr.. Wood
did not doubt but what the promise
would be kept and hence did not take
the trouble TO see Rufus, since. OF
course IL is q matter that concerns the
other side. They ought 10 know each
other TOO well 10 depend on promises
They can fight il out among themselves
and they doubtless will II the people
talked their sentiments yesterday. One
Democrat speaking with a reporter for
the Eagle said: Il know what Rufe's
intentions were before the election and
1 know what they are now. Before
the election ne thought ne would have
a big ma jority and that he would fix
himself for a second term After the
election he saw what the people thought
OF him and that it would be impossible
for him to get a second term be
then thought il would be a wise thing TO
appoint Mr. KensIer The fact is he
intends to train Kensler for a candidate
to succeed himself in which event he
will pay the expenses of his campaign
and If Kensler should happen 10 be
elected he Cone will virtually be Sher-
if so far as a big slice of the income Is
concerned"
Let the merry work go on" Is what
the Republicans say.
Lee Cone is Rufe's brother; William
Meyers has ben for years the bookkeep-
er for the Wholesale liquor house of
Mahan Bros, in which II was common
Iy understood that Mr.. Cone was a
member during the time he was chief
of police; J. NJ. Furnish is the secretary
OF the Pop county central committee.
Some predictions were made yester-
day by men who know a great deal
about the inside OF Rufe's campaign
that he would never take his seat in
the sheriff's office. They talked mys-
teriously and limited that if Schad star
ted a contest he would find plenty of
men now who would do him justice.
1t was Democratic talk and as 1t did
not come from Jesse Haymaker and his
friends who are the real leaders OF the
Democratic party. at least the leaders
who are in the saddle, ii don't amount
to much.

Beer Tax and Politics.

1t is not clear yet whether the revenues
arising from the present tariff and inter-
nal revenue taxes will be sufficient to ena-
BILE the government to meet its oblga-
tons. They have not done so thus far,
though they are slowly but steadily in
creasing The administration depended
upon the income tax to make up any de-
ficiency there might be from other sources
of revenue. That tax having been declar-
ed unconstitutional, however, some other
souce of revenue may have to be provided
When the income tax was under consid-
Grafton it was suggested that 1t would be
advisable to increase the tax on beer
rather than to tax incomes. The sugges-
ton was not adopted. 1t has been revived,
and is now receiving some attention.
The present congress is republican. How
would a republican congress regard
proposition to increase the beer
tax? 1t is quite safe to say it
would regard it favorably provi-
ded it did not involve a loss of politi-
cal strength. But would the increasing
of the tax on beer lose the Republican
party votes? The chances are it would.
The majority of the German voters are
republicans, and they are the great beer
drinkers of the country. The most of the
breweries are either owned or controlled
by Germans.
The Germans are saying they will not
stand an additional tax on their favorite
beverage-that they would oppose at the
polls any such tax. A threat of that sort
is sufficient to scare the republican leaders
who are planning to elect the next Presi-
dent and the next House of Representa-
tives The republican leaders are not
going to take any chances. They playing
the game of politics for all it is worth The
loss Of the German vote, or even a consid-
cradle portion of It, might cause them to
lose all they are fighting for. 1t is pretty
certain therefore that this congress will
not increase the beer tax. even though II
should appear that it would be better and
wiser from every point Of view TO raise ad-
diuonal revenue from that source than
any otner. The republicans are looking
out for party success rather than for the
good Of the whole country.

A Prominent Citizen,

The guest from the effete east was sit
ting in the bar room of the one small taN-
ern in a small town of the unreSenerate
southwest because the bar room was also
lobby, office, waiting room, and so forth,
and so forth. Presently, as related 10 a
Washington Star writer, delegation of
citizens came in under the direction OF
the landlord, and ranging themselves be

them. This he did and after a drink had
been taken, the landlord addressed him.
