Republican CRITICISM Of Federal Courts,

POpulists have been numerically de-
rided for pointing out some Of the evils
and injustice in our courts, especially
the Federal courts. No reasonable or
obseryant man whose judgment Is not
swayed by partisan prejudice questions
the fact that there is reasonable founda-
tiOn for these criticisms. That political
opponents are beginning to take sub
stantially the same view of the matter
Is shown by the following comments
taken from recent issue of the Kansas
City Tribune, ex-Speaker Lobdell's
paper
Whether it be from a spirit of con-
trariness or not, we are unable to say,
but the Tribune cannot share in the
feeling of approval that seems to be
general toward Judge Stephen J. Field
To our way Of thinking Judge Fields
career has been neither exalted nor cred
liable. His opinions have not been dis
for fairness or learning, while
on the other hand the prejudice of the
man has frequently shown itself, al
though supposedly covered by the sacred
robes Of his Office. One cannot reflect on
the unprovoked killing of old man Terry
by United States Marshal who was
guarding Judge Field without at least
a shudder at the suggestiveness of the
situation when the relations of the two
men, Field and Terry, are remembered.

The ASYLUM Butter Deal.

The Board of Charities has bought
$4,000 pounds of butter from the Meri-
den creamery, paying Is cents a pound.
Frank Shane, member of the board,
is interested in this creamery. Most Of
the butter is stored in Moeser's ice house,
and it is said to be getting about strong
enough to walk.-TOpeka Capital
The board bought $4,000 pounds, Frank
Shane does not and never did have an
interest in the Meriden creamery, and
the butter is not strong or in bad condi-
ton. With these few corrections the
Capital paragraph is within the bounds
Of the truth. Readers will note that
creamery butter is quoted at the Kansas
City market at 20 to % cents, which in
dicates that the board acted wisely in
contracting in advance. A saving of 5
to cents was made thereby.

Agriculture All Through.

At the meeting of the Board Of Regents
of the State Agricultural College at Man
haitian sweeping changes in the course
of study were decided upon Hereafter
agriculture is to be studied by all the
students during every term of the four
years course. At present it is studied
in only three Of twelve months in the
course. Beginning with the next term,
Immediately after the holidays, the new
complete course in agriculture will be
taken up, and thereafter it will be
studied just as Latin is studied in the
classical schools. A herd of twenty cows
will be bought soon and modern dairy,
such as farmers can run with profit, will
be established. The appliances and
methods will be up to date, but they will
be dairy, not creamery, methods
The college herds are to be sold at
public sale November 49, The present
board has decided that the stock farming

Paws Expenses and a Profit Beside.

The State grain inspection law passed
by the last Legislature is proving to
be a good thing. 1t not only takes the
inspection out of the hands Of the boards
of trade, the interests Of which are not
in harmony with those Of the producer,
but it gives to the State whatever profit
may arise from the inspection. The Sep
tember report of Grain Inspector Culver
shows net profit to the State of
S2,026,.9S. Under the old law this would
have gone into the pockets of the in
spectors. This law also provides that
the inspectors must not draw on the
State for their salaries, but that they
must be satisfied with the fees up to
certain amount as compensation for
their services This law, like most other
Populist laws, proves to be a good one
for the people of the State.

More Trouble With the Travellers, i.

Superintendent McNall has declined to
issue additional agents licenses to the
Travellers Accident Insurance Co. on the
ground that the company refuses to COM
ply with the rules and regulations of the
Kansas department. He cannot now re-
woke the cOmpany's license to do bust
ness, as the Federal court has enjoined
him from so doing, but he is not COM
PEELED to issue any new authority to do
business. The company will likely go
into court and try to force the issue Of
the agents license.

RepnbliCan Roasts Not in Order.

A Republican paper bewails the fact
that the State of Kansas must pay per
cent. to get money to pay running ex-
penses and observes that it is thankful
that the Populsts have brought the State
to no worse condition. The facts are
that the present temporary deficiency
is due to the willful wastefulness and
extravaganza of the preceding Republi-
can administration which retired with
about a half million dollars less than
was turned over to it by the Lewelling
administration. Republicans have as
little ground to be making capital of
this affair as a thief who had stolen
everything one had would have to roast
his victim for being poverty stricken
after he got through with him.
The advocate., 1897-10-27

Arstocratic and autocratic by nature,
his judicial decisions have been, while
doubtless honest, constantly warped in
the interest of the rich and powerful.
His voice was always for the upholding
of questionable municipal bonds. He
was in favor of the income tax decision,
which nullifed the law, and by his
influence has contributed more than any
other man to the line of decisions which
has made the Supreme court the favOrlte
resort Of corporate interests, and aroused
a sentiment now frequently expressed
that the court is controlled by the
mOnied interests of the country. Judge
Field retires none too soon for the stand
ing Of the court"

viii Not Sell Coal During Strike.

Republican papers try to make it ap-
pear that all of the troubles of Kansas
miners are caused by the sale of Peni-
tentiary coal in the open market. The
coal coming from that mine, aside from
that supplied to the State institutions,
amounts to about one-sixteenth of
1 per cent. of the total amount used in
the State. This is merely drop in the
bucket. No more coal is now sold than
was sold under the old contract system,
and the only difference is that the State
gets more out of it than it does when it
is contracted by the year to some one
dealer Warden Landis says that in
case of strike of Kansas miners he
would not sell pound Of coal to any one.

Board Of Charities for paying 15 cents a
