MINISTERS AND ELDERS.

Ministers are selected by the vote OF
the whole church, brethren and sisters,
regardless Of age. After he has labored
long enough to give full proof of his
ministry he is then advanced TO the
second degree, and is given the
privilege to make and fill appoint
ments, baptize and solemnize marriages.
The elders are chosen from the minis
tiers of the second degree. They have
also deacons, who wait on the table
during Communion; visit the sick, see
that they are cared for, and help the
elders to keep the church in order. No
salaries as a rule are given to the min
listers or elders, though it is the duty
of the church to maintain them, when
they need, the same as other members.
A church has generally several minis
tiers. but the elder is the presiding Off
Ger of the church to which he belongs.

DEATH sTAREs IN THE FACE
A Salina Man Says the Populist Par
ty Must Die if the Legislature
Does Nothing.

Some of the frank and file" of the
Populist party in Kansas are manifest
ing signs of dissatisfaction at the lack
OF effort to redeem campaign promises
on the part of the Populist majority in
the legislature.
The Journal of Saturday contained a
resolution introduced by Representative
Walters of Labette calling upon the
house committee on telegraphs and tele-
phones to show cause for reporting ad-

AGAINST oLEo.
Butter Men Simply Want Protection
Against the Article.

The following letter is received from
the Meriden Creamery company:
To the Editor of The State Journal:
Meriden, Kan, Feb. %, 1897
Dear Sir:-The New York Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
says: THE extensive manufacture and
export of oleomargarine has undOubt-
eddy cast suspicion on all our butter.
But what is far worse is that OleOmar-
garine is sent abroad as butter and sold
under that name, supported with such
convincing evidence as the picture of
a COW on the package This has in
jured the foreign demand for our but
ter. In Europe and the West Indies and
South America there is an indiSpOSitiOn
to buy American butter unless it be ex-
tremely cheap, because there is a sus-
picion that it may have been made
from other fats than those obtained
from milk
The legislature of Kansas now has
under consideration bill that will COM
pei the manufacturers to sell oleOmar-
garine for just what it is. The dairy in
terests of Kansas cannot long compete
with the manufacturers of oleomargar-
inc and it is hoped by every farmer and
all others who have the welfare OF the
state at heart, that this bill will be-
come a law.
Kansas has all the natural require
mentS necessary to make it great
dairy state. If this bill becomes law
it will bring more capital and give en-
ployment to more men than any meas
ure that has been considered at this
session.
The farmers do not ask that "oleo' be
suppressed, but that it be prevented
from taking the color of butter and be-
ing sold for butter.
Topeka and other cities are anxious to
have factories started that will give en-
ployment to their idle men. VIII these
same cities help to secure legislation
that will prevent deception and fraud
and imitation butter and thus encour-
age men to build these factories and
help keep those running that are al
ready built?
West Virginia has a law requiring
that oleomargarine shall be colored
pink. This law has been carried to the
supreme courts and declared constitu-
tiona1.
Kansas farmers and dairymen are
not asking for such a radical law. All
they ask is that the manufacturers be
HTsvented from coloring oleomargarine
y&ll0w in imitation of butter.
The object of the law is not to pre-
vent the sale of oleomargarine and 9TH
er like products, but to compel them to
be sold on their merits.
Very truly

til Manager Meriden Creamery.

THE HOUSE GIVES UP.
There Will be No Attempt at Pacific
Railroad Commission.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Members of the
house committee on Pacific railways
have practically decided to abandon
the attempt to bring up in the house
this session the bill for the establish
ment of a commission to settle the
debts of the Pacific roads to the govern
ment.
When application was made to the
committee on rules for a day to consider
the bill that the committee wanted as
SuranceS that the opponents of the pla n
in the senate would not make the action
of the house if it passed the bill waste
of time by filibustering against the
measure, no such assurances could be
given and there probably will be no
more effort to bring up the bill.
