MODEST TOPEKA.

The HoltOn Tribune, printed at a
county seat a few miles north of the
Kaw river, comes to the rescue of To-
peka, declaring that Topeka does not
have more than her share of the Of
fees and perquisites of the state gov
eminent This only shows the ex-
IRENE to which prejudice may carry a
man. The Topeka Journal approving
~ quotes the Holton paper, adding that
Topeka does not want more than her
share, going on to say that the people
of Topeka desire 10 see other towns of
the state well represented on state
boards and in state offices. Such thin
disguised hypocrisy would be well Ugh
impossible from any other source. The
Journal concludes by saying that To-
peka, at this time, is asking nothing,
except delegate-at-large, in the nation
ri convention. We thought that Mr..
Johnson was asking to be made the
national committeeman from the state
of Kansas, a place now held by gen
Il
The truth is Topeka makes the bal
ance of the state tired with her claims
and assumptions. Topeka holds more
important and paying state positions,
and draws more money from the state
treasury than all of the other larger
cities of the state combined, and the
poor lip put up by the Journal is down
right disgusting. But two counties pay
into the state treasury annually more
money than Sedgwick county, and
Sedgwick county does not draw from
| the state one dollar where Shawnee
county draws hundreds. Even the
three Wichita police commissioners
who draw their pay from the state

! Topeka has never consented that Em-

her congressional district should have

States senators. And nobody Is now

WASHINGTON AS A POLITICIAN.

General Greedy. OF North Pole expedi-
ton fame. and later head of the ma
tional weather bureau. having gained
access TO the private papers and cor
respondence, and having found among
the Virginia relatives many letters
from and to Washington. is writing up
a life which is to be the personal side
of the father of his country. There are
many quite strange and unexpected
things coming out showing that Wash
ington was very human. He did not
rise superior TO his environments any
more than the statesman of today. The
Ladies Home Journal OF Philadelphia.
is publishing this new side OF Wash
ington. for which journal it is being
written. Washington was one of the
brightest politicians of his time and as
such Greedy brings out his ideals and
habits in a vivid way. OF the first
election in which he actively partici-
pated General Greedy writes: "In his
younger days Washington extended at
his first election the usual pOst-election
hospitality. which, in those days, con-
sisted in the minimum amount OF food
with the maximum amount of spirits.
We find him paying an account for
such an entertainment for some four
hundred voters, where the account was
three shillings for food and thirty-seven
for liquors. The capacity OF the aver
age drinker may, perhaps, be placed at
three quarts at a sitting, as derived
from this account, which covered one
hogshead Of punch, one barrel of
punch, forty gallons of punch, nine
bowls of punch. forty-five gallons Of
wine and forty-seven gallons of beer.
Washington, who was not present, ex-
pressed his surprise at their modera-
ton. and wrote his agent that he feared
ne had not been liberal enough. and
expressed the hope that he had not
neglected those who had voted in the
opposition.

NEAR THE PRAIRIE-GRAss.

The Eagle was criticized for editor
tally declaring, the morning following
It's delivery. that the speech made by
Tillman. of South Carolina, was full of
facts. and that no speech would prob
ably be delivered during the entire SEES
sion which would command such uni
versal attention and widespread read
ing. 1t might not have lost its force
had some of its personalities been omit
ted. But even these very faithfully re-
fiected a sentiment entertained by a
large number of people in every part
of tn land, despite the protests and de-
mails of the great metropolitan dailies,
whose editors complained of being so
outrageously shocked over the humil-
iating harangue Had Mr.. Tillman
hailed from some other state, or had
his utterances been delivered in the
other end of the capitol, his disregard
of the amenities might not have been
so keenly felt by these DER tender pro-
testants. However, no amount Of re-
greet, feigned or real, nor any number
of dignified protests upon the part of
the upper ten can efface the fact that
that speech found resounding echo in
the breasts of the lower million, with
out reference to their present location
or past prejudices. Even Kansas is
found indorsing South Carolina for
once Congressman Curtis of this state
is in receipt Of two memorials, from
Butler county, expressing appreciation
of the speech of Senator Tillman. The
signers, in not denying that the South
Carolinian had shattered conventian-
ality and senatorial courtesy, still urge
Mr.. Curtis TO convey their thanks to
Tillman lin the most public manner"
OF course these memorials were only
signed by Pops. Truth compels us to
say that of the eighty men of Butler
county who signed the testimonials
thirty of them are Republicans, and
only two are Democrats So the Eagle
it seems, instinctively or through its
natural sympathies, is very close down
to the convictions and sentiments of
the people who in the end are going TO
rule this land.
While, no doubt, many right minded
men, everywhere. regretted the lurld
language Of Governor Tillman in the
United States senate, language which
is only expected ON the stump in the
heat of campaign, yet the fact re-
mains that had he been less pointed,
vehement and personal his effort would
have been lost in the mass of redundant
common place stuff which fills up the
talking hours of congress for months
at a stretch Anomalous as it may
seem the United States senate, and not
the house of representatives, is the
most nearly representing the masses of
the American people today, and Till
man, the most radical man of the SEN
ate, is not a misrepresentation. by any
means, not a misrepresentation of sen
timents cherished in state whose
people hold that the song Of John
Browns soul is not less prophetic than
classical.

BACTERIA.
vest here.

Some interesting experiments are be-
ing made with regard to the preserva-
ton of cane juice from fermentation,
and the causes and conditions which
control it. If cane juice is left to itself,
fermentation sets in directly, and at the
end of seventy hours no sugar is left.
However, it is found that by 'judicious
use of chemicals and other means the
Juice will remain sweet for as much as
three weeks.
OF course all fermentation is caused
by bacteria, and the point is to either
kill them or to make them dormant.
The whole question Of preservation Of
any organic substance is a question of
temperature. A very high temperature
kills bacteria, and it is upon this fact
that the preservation of meats, fish,
vegetables, ETC., in tins depends. On the
other hand, a temperature below GER
tain minimum renders bacteria inert
in plain words. it puts them to sleep.
II isupon this latter fact that the whole
system of refrigeration is based.
At the sea level, in moist, hot at
mosphere, bacteria swarm and ENJOY
themselves. consequently fermentation
occurs and meats, fish, ETC., "go bad,
as we call it. At a high elevation with
a rarified atmosphere and cold, bacteria
are not in it. And so it comes about that
ND Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa you can
hang meat out for fortnight and no
decomposition will set in.
The effect of the low temperature on
bacteria precisely corresponds to the
action of chloroform. We are at liberty
tn quote DR.. Maxwell upon this point.
He saws that he has found that by treat
ing soil with chloroform the bacteria
were put to sleep and became quite IN
active until the anesthetic evaporated.
Thus. while heat kills bacteria out
right. cold renders them inactive. and
this is the reason that cold will put
stop to an epidemic, which will break
out again in the summer months. No
doubt the bacteria are much refreshed
nv their enforced rest, and start out on
their mischevicus career as fresh as
larks.
