Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-04-26

IT is reported that some of the leaders of the
Democratic party and a few Of the money kings
of New York are laying their plans to nominate
Cleveland next year for president on straight
out gold platform. Nothing would suit the
Republicans better.-Neosho Falls Post.
And where would that leave John Sherman,
Quay, Hoar, Mckinley, Reed and all the other
less and greater Republican lights? They are
all for the gold standard All such movements
are intended to deceive the people. There has
not yet been named in connection with the pres
idency prominent Republican who is not
as thoroughly inoculated with the gold-standard
viris as is Cleveland. Even John Sherman
would be sobbered all over by such sheets as the
Post and who has the gall to say he has not
betrayed the country, as far as he could, into
the power of the gold-standard consprators?
Who dare?

from indulgences paid for the privilege of de-
bauching the people.
"There existed in this country during the
war of the rebellion creatures who were fond OF
asserting: 'I'm as good Union man as you
are, but you can't put down the rebellion, and
we should make the best terms possible with
the Southern rebels' These were Copper
heads
"Governor Morrill, says he is as good pro-
hibitionist as 1 am, but the prohibitory law
cannot be enforced in Atchison Leavenworth
and Wichita, and consents to the continued vlo-
lation of law for price paid to those cities.
The parallel is deadly as the reptile whose name
adorned the unpatriotic, rebel-sympathizing
ehouls who, safe from shot and shell, assaulted
the moral standards of the Union in the rear OF
the brave boys in blue.
abraham Lincoln did not direct General
Grant to con6ne his fighting to territory where
the local sentiment was favorable to the Union.
The way to fight rebels was to go where the re-
bellion was organized and entrenched. If re-
bellion in Kansas to-day is organized and ell
trenched in the cities named, the batteries and
munitions of war are amply provided in the
metropolitan police law and the courts.
''Let the governor marshal his forces and
march against the enemy, supported by the
loyal, patriotic men and women of Kansas, who,
for fourteen years, have frowned down every
proposition, however specious, to wipe out the
constitutional amendment or prohibitory law"

The Solicitor was instructed to at
once draw this ordinance, instead OF
the measure ordered by Council, on
recommendation of the Finance Com
mittee, and if it can be gotten ready, "a
viii be brought up tonight for action.
Two other ordinances were ordered
drawn by the Committee. One was
the annual ten cent levy ordinance ana
the other was an ordinance making ap-
preparations TO the several departments
and Boards for the month of July.
This ordinance, however, differs from
the six similar ordinances already
passed this year, in that it is based
upon the last figures Of the Finance
Committee for 1895, instead of being the
usual one-twelfth of the expenditures
for 1894 This ordinance must be
passed tonight. There has been some
friction between individual Councilmen
over the distribution OF the ten cent
levy, and some tears may be shed and
some elOquence wasted when the or
dinance apprOpriating this money
comes up this evening; but the re
formers have to talk about something,
and IL may rs well be about this as any
thing.
The Committee on Streets. Alleys and
Grades met last evening, and taking up
the matter of the proposed new alley
between EOff aud Charles streets, in
Str1ptpd tho Solicitor 10 500 the DrOD-
erty owners and have them sign an
agreement to deed sufficient land off
their lots to the city to make the pro
posed alley. The City Engineer was
instructed to make q survey.
An ordinance fixing the grade Of
Water street, from Forty-second to
Forty-eighth, was also ordered drawn.
The Committee on Police held a brief
session, and recommended for payment
bills aggregating 81.
It is expected there will be another
lively fight in Council, this evening,
over the report Of the Fire Committee,
recommending the purchase Of the new
first size fire engine, in place OF the
wrecked Atlantic, for $500 net The
majority of business men and real
estate owners appear TO be in favor Of
the recommendation of the Committee,
but a number Of CounCilmen, led by
Messrs. Richards and Dawson, appear
to be determined to down the Commit
tee at all hazards and they will main
tain the stand they took at the lasO
session if it should be at all tenable.

FOOLED THE JUDGES.
Oleomargarine Takes Two Prizes at a
Dairymen's Convention.

O1eomargarine Takes Two Prizes at a
Dairymen's Convention.
The Pennsylvania Suite Dairymen's asso-
citation, which held its twenty first annual
convention here last week, is in hole, says
the Philadelphia Press. BY vote of 16 to2
the association sustained the present oleo-
margarine law, and in the discussionit was
referred to as ''axIs grease" "hoof juice"
etc. fAf
The association had offered six butter
premiums, divided iRtoelasses, three each on
one and five pound packages. There were
twenty y-fourentriesi inbpth classes. Inorder
that the judging might be impartial and well
done, these practical dairymen were chosen
as judges: Prof. III. j. Watres OF the dairy
department, state college; A. l. Wales of
CORY, and John c.. McClutock. These
gentlemen judged the butter by points, and
their report was read from a table almost
as full of figures as an official election
table.
After announcing their decision, Mr. Nc
Clintock, the chairman, said the judges took
their own time in doing the work They
sampled the butter, cutting chunks off the
daintily prepared rolls; put these into their
| mouths and allowed them to melt on their
| tongues, talked knowingly about the grain,
| whether it had been salted in the granular
| form and whether the buttermilk had been
washed out before or afterthe mix had been
removed from the churn; whether the butter
had been coIored by the Jersey COW, by feed
ing grain or by using butter-color, etc. All
of these points were carefully gone over in
arriving at their decisions. The prizes were
| awarded and paid.
The second act in the farce drama is little
] different. Editor z aim of Meadville has been
making q warefsre through his paperagainst
the law prohibiting the manufacture of
oleomargarine, and in order to test the
knowledge OF dairymen as tothe. quality OF
1t as compared with dairy butter, he sent
