The Legislature meets to-day and has

dicted that the expenses of the State
Government will require an extraordi-
nary levy for another year. The
whole theory of successful administra-
tion lies in economizing the public re-
sources. Keep the expenses withinthe
legitimate means of the State; not
stretch taxation to meet extravagant
OUTLAWS and expenditures. In tho

Other Points,
BECAUSE AGITATION

BECAUSE AGITATION

Kansas City. Mo. May st is stat
ed here that on Monday next Swift &
Co. viii shut down their big plant at
this point for an indefinite period. Their
plant gives employment to 1900 men,
and, in capacity, ranks second among
the packing establishments Of Kansas
City.
It is intimated that the company's
Kansas City Office force will be re-
tanned. being given employment at
Swift & Co.'S other establishments in
Omaha, St. Louis and Chicago, to which
points the present Kansas City bust
ness will be diverted.
While no one in authority at Swift
& Co.'S Offices here will so assert, it is
credibly stated that the Kansas City
plant is being closed down on account
of troubles which have existed for
many months between the packing
companies and the labor organizations
which control the men in their employ.
During the past year and a half
Swift & Co. have had to contend with
strikes by their beef boners, their ham
trinmers, their taggers, their butchers
and their dremen. In every instance
something has been conceded to the
strikers, until now, it is claimed, the
company's expenses in Kansas City
have reached such point that the
business done here can be diverted
with profit to the other points at which
the company has packing plants.
On the other hand, it is minated
that the reported shut down is the re-
suit OF an agreement among the sew
era1 packing companies doing business
here, and that it has been decided that
the close down Of the one big plant viii
have an effect of quoting the agitation
now general among the local labor or
ganizatiOns in the packing houses.

anything VIII be able to prevent the
nomination of Mckinley on the FIRST
ballot at st. Louis. He is regarded as
the undoubted choice of the masses of

DO not believe he ought to be opposed
or that he could be defeated in the
convention.
Representative Miller, in speaking of
the probable action of the Republican
convention. said
In my judgment Mckinley will be
nominated on the first ballot. There
is no use for amy one to try to stem
the tide. There is no question about
his being the choice of the masses Of
Republicans. and they ought to be
given their way. No sort of combina-
tion or manipulation will in my opin-
ion, be able to prevail against him
While he was not my first choice.
I can easily accept him, as he is a good
man and good Republican. From
the shape things have taken, it seems
to me to be the best thing TO nominate
him by exclamation and prevent all of
the bitterness and i'll feeling which is
always the result Of a fight.
