ACCORDING to the terms of
the new tariff bill now being
considered by congress near
ly all food supplies used by
the mass Of people will be
heavily taxed, but the incomes
of the millionaires, many of
whom are foreigners, will not
yield a single cent of
revenue. The poor bear the
burden of taxation and the
rich live off of the fat of the
land. A government which
permits this state of affairs is
not a just government.

THERE are a good many
people in Kansas who profess
to believe that interest can
not be regulated by law but
they never tell us why it

states. Ir, nearly all the
states of the union the legal

it is in Kansas.

The Kansas republicans are asking
for only one little crumb in the way of
tariff legislation and that is duty on
gypsum. If they get that they will be
willing to pay an increased price for
sugar, coffee, tea, shoes, cotton and
wooden goods and everything used in
every day life. But they are firm in
their demand for a duty on gypsum
They just must have something to de-
fend the party with il this state and
protected gypsum is the last hope.

POLITICS IN EDUCATIONAL INsTITU.
TONS.

There has been considerable amount
OF grumbling going on In republican
circles in Kansas this year because
some sweeping changes have been made
by the administration IN those of our
educational institutions which are I'M
der the direct control and supervision
of the state. Among these the state
agricultural college is the most notable.
That some changes have been mad is
true but it is also true that in no in
stance have any of these institutions
suffered by reason of such change
or changes. And when 1t is known
how some of the old professors conduct
ed themselves there is no room tor
fault finding on account of their dismis-
sal. We are told by our republican
friends that we should not carry poll
tics into our schools, and we contend
that when these old mossback republl-
can professor politicians were relieved
from duty one great step was taken to
at least eliminate partisan politics from
these institutions. 1t is notorious
fact and enc of which all progressive
and enlightened kansans should be
heartily ashamed, that Prof. Garfield.
probably the best instructor Kansas
ever had, was removed from the Uni
versity and run out of the state for no
| other reason than that he did not en-
dorse the theories of high protective
tariff. This shameful maltreatment
was perpetrated by the republican par
| ty. But that is not all. Prof. Fair
| child who was removed from the State
Agricultural College was one of the most
yindictive partjsans that ever annoyed
| any people. In his official station he
taught republican vagarles and often
times did not accord decent considera-
| ton to students who were known to
belong to political party other than
the republican party. The same pro-
fessor has frequently been known to
| furnish transportation to republican
students to GO home to vote, while
Populist and democrats were deprived
of the privilege by methods which were,
to put it mildly, indecent. We could
recount instances like these until our
space and type would be entirely ex-
hausted, but this will give to the read
er general idea as to how politics
were excluded from our education al
institutions under republican admins
trations. We want to say unhesi-
tatingly, unequivocally and without
reserve, that when the present admins
| tratiOn removed these old harnaolaS If
did good job. The new arrangements
are efficient and thoroughly competent.
No charge of teaching partisan poll
tics has yet been thrown at their doors
and it is to be hoped, never will be.
There ought to be as much decency
and proprlety among professors as
among any other class of people.

NEW OCCASIONS.

The May number of New Occasions
is unquestionably the best specimen Of
reform magazine yet produced in this
country. With it the size of the maya
zine is enlarged and it steps into the
front rank not only from literary, but
an artistic standpoint. The handsome
cover page was designed by Henry Ives
Cobb, the famous Worlds Fair archi.
tect, and the decorative features are
from the pen of Harry o. Landers, the
renowned newspaper architect.
Sixtyfour pages are devoted to topics
of lively popular interest and there is
not dull paragraph in the magazine.
The editor, Frederick Upham Adams,
presents the opening chapters of a
sketch which will add much to his fame
as writer and satirist. 1t is entitled
"a Corrected School History of the
United States" and Mr.. Adams ex-
plains that ''he has been selected for
this Important and patriotic task by a
commission consisting of John D.
Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Morgan, An
drew Carnegie and George NJ. Pull
man." 1t is delightful piece of satire
and will attract wide attention. Those
who admire the editorial pages of New
Occasions will be pleased with the
May installment. 1.-The One Issue, :"
1.-The Competitive System Doomed, :"
"a practical Christ" and "Shall We
Unite" are specimens of logical and
vigorous English. Jesse Cox considers

Fireproof Buildings.

Reviewing the various attempts which
have been made in the past to realize an
adequate method of flreproof construction,
a writer in The Engineering Magazine de-
clares that so inefficient in results have
been these attempts that very few of the so
called fireproof buildings erected prior to
1890 are actually fireproof On the con-
trary, he asserts that, while in many cases
suitable materials have been employed in
these buildings, they have not been suit
ably adapted or disposed. insignificant
fires in such buildings have resulted most
disastrously and in some cases have utterly
wrecked the buildings. Careful investiga
tons, however, of the physical properties
of structural from and steel when subjected
to heat, and close observation of the effects
of fire and water on different materials
have within a comparatively short time, it
is admitted, developed efficient and eco
nomical methods of flreproofing Further,
the constant and increasing demand for
fireproof buildings has resulted in the de-
velopment of nearly so different systems Of
such construction, designed TO serve the
purpose of the clay products, Mt reduced
cost, some of which, based upon correct
mechanical principles and contemplating
the use of none but suitable materials, I'M
questionably produce freproof buildings in
the broad sense in which the term is now
used

An Attempted Shooting.

A very unfortunate affair oc-
Cured on our streets one night
last week, which, but owing to a
mere chance, Marshall Mckeen
might have lost his life. 1t seems
that Fred Muckenhausen, Jr., in
company with another young man,
succeeded in swiping bottle OF
liquor from some man living in the
country, and drinking the same,
became intoxicated. He proc ured
revolver and meeting the mar
shall placed the gun within four
inches of the marshall's head and
pulled the trigger. Fortunately
for the marshall, the pistol con-
tanned but five cartridges, one
chamber being empty on which
the hammer fell with harmless
c lick. He was arrested and ar
raigned before r. n. Bevans Esq.
The court placed him under bonds
at $500, which he failed toprocure,
and was remanded to the county
Jail Of Pierce County to await the
session Of the next term Of the
Circuit Court. The affair is to be
deplor+d as the accused is bright
boy of scarce eighteen years.
When not under the influence of
liquor he is polite and accommo-
dating. His parents, who are
among our oldest settlers. are all
broken up over the affair. His
father is one of our prominent
merchants and feels the hayward
course of his son most keenly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Muckenhausen have
the sympathy Of the entire com
munity.
