RepubliCan Brutality.

While Republican papers are retailing
a lot of senseless and wholly false stuff
about the present management Of Kan
sas charitable institutions, committee
of the G. A. r. is bringing to light shock
ing evidences of brutality in the Sol
diers' Orphans Home in Republican Illi-
nois. A dispatch dated November 5 from
Bloomington says:
"A shocking state Of affairs in the ILL
nois Soldiers Orphans Home is being
revealed by the searchlight turned upon
it. The investigation is being conducted
by a committee of the Grand Army Of
the Republic Of Illinois, inspired by the
numerous charges Of rottenness recently
put in circulation. Witnesses upon their
oaths stated that they had seen little
children knocked down by Superintend-
ent Magner. They swore that girls had
been kept in bed two days as punishment
for trihing offenses, and testified that it
was nothing unusual for the employees
to strike the boys with leather strap
across the backs, or beat them on the
ears and head with their fists"

Potato Farming on a Large Scale.

Kansas has some potato-growers who
do an extensive business. One firm In
Johnson county is thus referred to by
Mr. Secretary Coburn in a late report:
Their shipments last year consisted
of 23S cars and this year 257 cars, a car
load ranging from 450 to 500 bushels,
thus making their this years output
say 125,000 bushels Their market is
found in every direction, extending from
Duluth to the Gulf and from New York
to New Mexico; they have recently
shipped seven cars to Buffalo, ~ Y,
which sold at S5 to 80 cents per bushel on
track, and were pronounced by the
handlers as superior to any others on the
market and commanding the highest
prices. Much Of their product is dis
posed Of at home on bids by wire, but
II at any time such bids are not salts
factory they ship on consignment
Their intention is to plant next
spring 500 acres, and for this purpose
have just now purchased in Minnesota
5000 bushels Of seed potatoes for them
selves in addition to 1000 bushels which
their neighbors will plant. About nine
bushels are used on an acre if the pota-
toes are large; II small less quantity Of
seed is required. In fair season and
from Northern-grown seed a crop of
200 bushels per acre Is counted on. This
years crop netted the growers from As
to 30 cents per bushel, on track.
'The reasons they give for planting
seed from Minnesota are that such seed
sprouts more slowly and hence can be
planted early with less danger Of being
injured by spring frOsts; and a yield
of at least fifty bushels more per acre can
be counted on, with fewer culls than If
homegrown seed is used Last year
buyers were willing to pay cents per
bushel more for stock Northern seed,
which Of itself would pay the difference
in its cost. They claim that the early
Ohio Is the best aIl-around potato for
their purpose from the fact that it ma
lures fairly well before dry weather sets
in and will stand more handling during
hot weather without rotting tnan any
other early variety; but, maturing so
early and lying in the hot sand for two
of three months afterward their vitality
for seed Is weakened.

all In all 1t is an undisputable fact that

Actions Belle Professions of Belief.

General Miles, who has just returned
from a tour of observation and inspeC-
ton among the monarchical govern
ments of Europe, recommends that few
Gatllng guns be mounted over the ap-
proaches to the new Chicago postoffice
building as precaution against the pos
sible onslaughts of future mobs. What
we would like to know is: Where are
these mobs to come from, and why would
a government building be the object Of
their fury? Our understanding of the
matter is that just as soon as the Re-
publican tariff gets in good working Or
der and the soundness Of the dollar is
assured, the mills and factories will all
be opened, everybody will be employed
at high wages, crops will be good, and
contentment and happiness is to reign
supreme What need will there be for
Gatling guns then? Why should there
be mobs seeking to destroy the property
of so benefcent government? This is
a case Of where actions plainly belle pro-
fessions of belief.-Clay Center Dis

A Republicans View Of the Insurance
Fight,


Throwing politics aside and looking
at the life and fire insurance business
from a purely business and moral stand
point, Webb McNall, in his efforts to
force compliance with the laws OF
the State, is right. Technically, in the
HillmOn case he was wrong, but in JUS
tice he was right. The Clarkson rate
book has just been decided to be an
illegal and swindling scheme by the fire
insurance companies on the people OF
this State. Emporia people get 1t in the
neck as does every other community
who patronize these companies. You
have no way to reach them except
through your Insurance Commissioner,
the legally constituted officer Of the
realm, and if he fails to do his duty
the business people Of the State who
feel that they must carry some insur-
ance are at the mercy of a combina-
tion Of insurance cut-throats who are
robbiug them in both the rate and the
adjustment Of losses. We do not neces>
sarily have to indorse POpulism to stand
by a Populist official who is trying to
keep men from robbing you. II job
lots of these insurance companies shall
be driven from the State, it will be all
the better for the State. The companies
will be gone, but the money will re-
main. 1t was, in former days, not only
a financial question, but great moral
question, whether either life or fire in
surance should be allowed; but the devil
and the cupidity of mankind prevailed,
and now in the height Of their rapacity
and fraudulent practices, these compa-
MES are considered bulWarks Of safety
and angels of mercy. However, like the
whisky question, and some other ques-
tions closely associated herewith, 1t is
generally conceded that they should be
regulated. After a while we will get
back to first principles and prohibit them
altogether. McNall and Boyle are two
State officers who have shown backbone,
nerve, grit and force in tackling frauds
wherever they find them, from a wildcat
insurance company to the Kansas City
stock yards, and Governor Leedy Is to
be commended for proposing to stay by
them if it takes the last cent in the
treasury.-Emporia Republican.

Rufe Cones Removal Demanded.

The Wichita Commoner demands the
removal of Rufe Cone from the Pop
uiist State committee. 1t charges that
he openly fights the State administration
and that he did everything in his power
to bring about the defeat of the local
ticket this year. Cones position has
been taken, it is said, because he was
unable to control the appointments on
the police board. In closing its article,
the Commoner says:
Gas soon as the present board was ap-
pointed he commenced his fight. He
did not wait for developments SO that
he might bring charges of corruption
in Office He commenced his fight at
once, plainly indicating that he would
fight any board appointed contrary to
his dictation.

ing mis- vengeance on the local ticket.

as anticipated, and the loss Of the Sol

the city voted for the successful Demo-
cratic candidates while many Populist
voters in the county voted for the de-
feated Republican candidates.
