Harvest Help Scarce in Sumner.

Wellington, July 1.-Thousands of
arces of ripe wheat are standing IN Sum-
ner county, and farmers are unable to

harvest hands. The acreage this year
is so extensive and the yield so heavy

heavy proved utterly inadequate. Even
with the most favora BILE weather a
great deal of grain will be lost because

MESQUITE BEAN CROP.
Texas Produces Bountiful Supply of
the Mexican Substitute for Coffee.

San Antonio, Tex, July 1.-The great
est mesquite bean crop ever known in
the history of this state is now matur-
ing. Hundreds of thousands of acres of
prairie land west and south of here are
GOV cred with mesquite bushes which
are loaded down with bean pods. 1t is
a well known fact that the mesquite
bean is an excellent substitute for cof-
fee, 1t being of almost the same flavor
When parched and containing almost
the same ingredients as the coffee bean.
1t has long been used by the Mexicans
to make a beverage in every way sim
liar to coffee.
This fact led to the organization of
company three years ago, composed of
san Antonio and St. Louis men, whose
OBJECT 1t was to gather the bean and
put 1T on the market, mixing it with
coffee beans. A drouth set in Just at
that time, and there was such a scare
ity of mesquite beans that the enter
prise was abandoned. Now that a
bountiful crop of these beans is assured
the project has been revived.

CIVIL SERVICE HYPOCRISY.

The Republican politicians are al
ways great on talking about the beau
ties Of civil service reform, especially
when they talk to the mugwump East.
and then when a trusting public puts
them in office they Immediately pro-
coed to take the civil service laws out
and dump them on the ash-heap. A
fair example of Republican civil SER
vice reform has been given by Pension
Commissioner Evans, who displayed
such contemptuous disregard for the
law that even Hanna called him down.
Mr.. Evans appears to have proceed
ed on the theory that every man he
found in the service of the Pension
Bureau who did not rush forward and
proclaim his devotion to the cause of
Republicanism was an enemy to the
government and not to be trusted He
had not been at the head of the bureau
a. month before nearly all of the en-
p.oyes who voted the Democratic tick
ct in November found themselves with
out jobs.
\ 1t happened that one of these was
brother of the late General Winfield
Scott Hancock. This of itself was suf
ficient cause for dismissal under Mr..
Evans Interpretation of the civil SER
vice rules. But it soon occurred that
Mr.. Evans received note from Hanna
demanding the immediate reinstate-
ment of Hancock; and, of course, there
was nothing for Evans to do but to put
him back or resign and turn his guns
On the administration. 1t has since de
veloped that Hanna's interest in Han
COCK was based on the fact of the pen
sion clerks relation to Ex-Governor
Merriam, of Minnesota. To be SD ,c:ic,
Hancock is the father-in law of the
Minnesotan. Hanna will have need ct
Merriam's influence in Minnesota in
the next campaign, AMI thus 1t is that
the mighty boss felt called upon to
sharply reprimand the Pension Com
missioner fer ignoring the civil service
rules.
But if Hancock is protected by the
civil service rules, why are not the
scores Of others who have been dis
charged by Evans also protected? The
answer is found in an understanding
of Mark Hannas political embarrass-
ments. Unless the discharged en-
ployes can show that thew have rela-
tives who can be of service 10 Hanna
in the next campaign for Mckinley they
will stand poor chance of icing lem
stated.
These observations are pertinent ccly
as they demonstrate the facs that to
secure protection under the civil SER
vice rules it is first necessary to pro-
cure the protection of Hanna.

We. would kindly inform the esteemed
lnteligencer that the iron market is a
steadier and safer barometer of general
trade -, conditions than the wheat market
but that the iron market together with
all other markets this year. draws its
strength from, the extraordinary boom in
wheat and other cereals, due to the re-
markable crop conditions. This is the
point which our nighbor has failed to
grasp. Wheat is the general lever but
the iron market is the best indicator of
what there is actually in the wheat boom
And as the Register remarked before

on the Chicago wheat pit.-Sunday Regis
