over our fate when told that we were
white slaves and that Lombard
street and Wall street were driving
us like -overseers- We knew then it
wasn't true. the Republicans said it
was false, but Mr.. Leedy was elected
governor and Bryan carried Kansas on
the proposition that we were bank
rupt. busted. starving. bleeding slaves
'.There are no Kansas tramps.
says Governor Leedy- Hurrah for you,
You are probably stretching the truth
a little. for so long as mankind is frail
and fallible there will be poverty and
want. But we would a thousand
times prefer to have the governor of
our state swear that he never saw a
tramp than to have him proclaim that
we are all tramps.
Some people will say Governor
Leedy only manifested his patriotic
spirit after election; that during the
campaign he was singing songs of
calamity and preaching the doctrine
of despair. We don't care. If Mr..
Leedy has repented we are not dis
posed to question his motives, but
welcome him to a seat in the choir to
which the News belongs and which
can't touch note or hit tune that
does not tell of the glory of Kansas.
The glad hand goes out to Governor
Leedy. His former wall is forgotten
as we hear him strike up the good old
Republican hymn, ''Kansas is all
right. ''-Hutchinson News.

CIGARETTE SMOKING AGAIN
Worthy of the strongest Condemnation,
Says DR.. J. H. kellogg.

If the boy who proudly inhales Gig
arctic smoke and blows it trOo" his
nose could only see himself as others
see him he would hire some one to kick
him into the middle of next week. And
if he could get one look at the discard
ed cigar stumps of which cigarettes are
made he would quit quick.
DR.. ]. H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek,
Mich, says of the evil: /" The use of
cigarettes by the boys and young men,
which is becoming so common, is
worthy of the strongest condemnation.
This method of taking tobacco is the
most pernicious of ALL Deaths from
cigarette smoking are frequently re-
ported. The writer has met many
cases in which young men have been
ruined, mentally as we'll as physically
(and, we might add, morally, socially
and religiously) by the use of cigar
cites.
Cigarette smoking is one of the most
energetic promoters of weakening of
social ties. Cancerous lips or tongue,
bronchial catarrh, weak and irregular
action of the heart, dyspepsia and
weakness of the eyes are among the
many evils resulting. 1t stupeties the
brain, destroys manhood and in very
many other ways tends to demoralize
the human race. If boys would smoke
them as they naturally would pipe
or cigar it would not be SO bad. 1t
would be bad enough, of course, for a
boy cannot use tobacco in airy way
without weakening himself physically
and mentally. They inhale the cigar
cite smoke and their whole system be-
comes saturated and poisoned with it.
DR.. Trosseau, of France, declares Gig
arctic smoking to be one of the worst
crimes of the age among his people.

A TASTE OF DAKOTA WEATHER
Charles Brande Writes of Life in South
Dakota-Lots of Snow.

1
Mr.. Editor: recent issue of
your paper | see that you people are
enjoying rather balmy. open winter,
accompanied by some mud, etc. Well,
up here it is little different. Our
winter commenced Nov / with a snow
storm and we have had snow ever
since.
November was very cold, dis
agreeable month, but December was
quite pleasant and it enabled the farm
ers to husk out their corn and finish
up their fall work. But all are not
done. There remains considerable
thrashing to be done and great deal
of corn is unhusked. Since January
came in we have been treated to a
genuine blizzard which lasted two
days. Many people did not go out to
feed their stock while the storm lasted.
/ fed and watered my stock, but the
snow was so fine and it blew so that
one could not see over two rods at q
time. The loss of stock was confined
drifted into houses through small
cracks and filed the garrets. Some of
my neighbors have had to dig the snow
drifts off of their barns to prevent it
from crushing them in. On the south
side of all groves there are large snow
drifts from ten to twenty feet high.
We had small blizzard the 18th, and
another similar the Oath, and the
ground is well covered with snow. In
the corn fields there is from two to four
feet of snow, roads are drifted, and in
many places the road runs over drifts
six or eight feet high.
People out here generally are glad to
see this big fall of snow, as they think
the crop prospect is very good for '97.
The ground froze up last fall quite wet
and with the big rains and storms we
have had we ought to get a good crop
this year. 1t has not been very cold
this winter yesterday and today have
been the coldest, but it has been cold
enough so that we have had no mud
since the fore part of November.
There has not been so much good
sleighing in this country in several
years as this present winter We have
had six weeks OF it and the prospect is
good for more.
Crops were fairly good the past year,
but prices are low. Wheat is the only
thing now that is worth anything, and
that brings 60c. per bushel. Oats are
10c.; corn, 10 to 15c.; barley, II to l6c.;
butter, l0c.
There is going to be a creamery built
at Alexandria this spring, and that will
help the butter market. Some of you
people back there may think you have
to pay big prices for coal. Here are
the prices we have to pay: Hard coal,
$40 per ton; Hooking Valley, $6.4O;
Iowa coal, So. Do you wonder that
some people burn corn?
| think I have written enough for
this time. CHAS. E. BRANDE.

Corn and Free Alcohol.

Commercial alcohol can today be
bought at the distilleries by the car
load, including the barrel, at fourteen
cents a gallon. Before the buyer can
use it, even in the most useful manu-
facture, he must pay an internal rev
enue tax on it of $206 a gallon. This
s 1900 per cent.
A bushel' Of corn will make some
thing over three gallons of alcohol.
The tax on the product of that corn is a
tax on the corn itself; and if that
product is alcohol the tax on bushel
is $6.18.
Suppose a similar tax were levied on
every product of the corn ? How much
would that amount to on steer or a
hog ready for market?
There would be exactly the same
Justice in taxing the hog or steer as in
taxing the provided the al
cohol is not used in the manufacture of
an intoxicating beverage.
Abandon this tax on the innocently
used alcohol and an immense impetus
is at once given to the manufacture of
alcohol from corn and to every manu-
facture land their name is legion) in
which alcohol is factor.
Senator Platt's committee for inves-
tigating the subject declare that under
such untaxed alcohol we should at
once open a new market for thirty
million bushels of corn. Statistics from
other countries indicate that this esti-
mate is, if anything, too low.
Germany, as the committee say, has
reaped enormous benefits IN her export
trade from free alcohol in the arts.
France is following suit.
The only possible reason for taxing
alcohol is that it is used as an intoxi
cant. The only reason alleged for tax
ing alcohol not used as an intoxicant is
that it may lead to frauds, and that
alcohol ostensibly used innocenUly may
be surrepitiously used as an intoxicant.
Henry DALEY, an expert authority,
was sent by Mr.. Platt's committee to
Europe to investigate the subject. He
I6pOItS U1dO 1OIOlSh COttuU11O0 AhO III
serious frauds in allowing rebate of
tax on alcohol used in manufactures
and the arts, and they all have more
or less liberal laws in this direction.
Shall the United States confess her
inability to do what other nations
readily accomplish
Shall our great cereal production
lack an enlarged and profitable mar
ket because the present treasury Off
Gals declare that they cannot frame
regulations which are feasible for re-
hitting this tax
The western and southern farmers
are vitality interested in this question,
and they should demand of their sena-
tors and representatives in congress
law which shall give them this market.

ANENT THE SOUTH PIER.
Useless Now to Petition Against it's Elk
tension.-The Contract Let.

tension.-The Contract Let.
Mr.. Editor: With reference to the
petition to Mr.. Cooper, against the
the extension of the South pier, which
you say is being circulated among the
business men of Kenosha some might
get the impression that this improve
ment originated with the new engin-
eer.n This is not the case. The eX-
tension of the South pier was retarded
for several years on account of lack of
funds, and because that of the North
pier was more pressing. But every
United States engineer in charge of the
harbor for the last twelve years has
urged the necessity of the extension Of
the South pier and it was on this ac-
count that enlarged appropriations
have been obtained. The North pier
is now out nearly as far as projected,
and the extension of the South pier is
considered necessary to prevent shoal
ing at the mouth. The engineers at
Milwaukee have recommended it; the
chief of engineers has approved the
DFO16CC, duu tQ0 COuGIdCU LIDS DCCu lCGs
It is rather late now to make objections,
and prospective signers of this petition
should feel very sure of their position
before antagonizing the engineer corps
of the United States army.
Our congressman and the engineer
department have acted in perfect &C
cord aud with great Intelligence and
zeal for the Kenosha harbor and they
are meditating still further improve
ments. 1t would be detrimental at
this time to criticise the action of the
engineer at Chicago, or ask our con-
gresham, Cooper, to assume this dis
agreeable position. The engineer de-
partment is always ready to receive
suggestions and give them courteous
consideration. but they should be made
in time, and especially before contracts
are let. FL. S. VANINGEN.
