CORN TO SELL.
Kansas Crop Will be 15o,oOO,OOo
Bushels, Perhaps More-Jen-
nings' Report.

The corn crop in Kansas instead OF
being but haIA crop promises 10 pc
fully three-fourths, and perhaps the
large yield of late corn Will BRING IL
higher than this.
Conservative estimates place the corn
crop for this year at 150,O0O,O0O bushels.
Some claim that it will reach 200 O0O. 600
bushels. The rains of this month have
done much for the crop, bringing out
the late varieties enormously.
Weather Observer T. B. Jennings to-
day issues his weekly climate and crop
bulletin for the week ending August
%. For general conditions he has this
to say:
"An unusually cool week, the temper
ature averaging about five degrees be-
low normal.
Fine rains fell over the western di
vision, extending through Barton, with
heavy rains in the extreme western
and southwestern counties, good rain
in Sedgwick, and light to good show
ers over the rest of the state, while
some few counties received none,
though heavy dews occurred nightly.
RESULTS.
Eastern Division-The cool weather
and heavy dews have been beneficial
to all crops Much of the corn that
had been damaged by the dry, hot
weather is now filling. Haying is about
half over, the crop being light in some
parts, very good in others. In Chau-
tauqua and Labette fall plowing is
about over. and in the latter farmers
are ready to sow wheat The regular
fall corn cutting has begun in the
southern counties.
Middle Division-The week has been
very favorable for work. Threshing
and all fall plowing are being pushed.
In Sumner the shock wheat is now
threshed, but as most of the wheat was
/ stacked, much threshing is yet to be
done In Saline some farmers are dou-

son and the northern counties is doing
well, but chinch bugs are working on
it in Smith. Cool weather, heavy dews
and occasional light showers are bring

now being cut in Mcpherson.
Western Division-Range and hay
grass are in fine condition and hay
making is being pusned. Cattle are

BROMUS INERMIS.
A Siberian Plant Which is to be Tried
on Our Western Plains.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The agricultur-
al department is preparing to make an
experiment with a new forage plant
which is thought to be adapted to the
semi-arid regions of the west. 1t is the
bromus inermis, grass which is indi-
genous to the Russian steppes. An or
der for two tons of the seed of the plant
has been wired to Moscow in response
to a telegram from Prof. Hanson, the
departments agent that he could secure
this quantity by taking it Immediately.
The grass is said to thrive in lands
which are too dry for the ordinary for
age plants. 1t is a tall nutritious plant
and it is hoped will prove to be adapted
TO the plains in the region along the
base of the Rocky mountains.
Prof. Hanson through whom this or
der has been placed is a resident of
South Dakota. He is making a special
investigation of the grasses and other
forage svegeta ton of Siberia, for the
department with the view of securing
plants adapted to the soil and climate
of the plains region and this order is
the first fruit of his labor.
The dispatching of Prof. Hanson on
this mission has had the effect appar-
emily of creating the impression that
the department is making especial in
quiry into the agricultural possibilities
of the country which will be traversed
by the new Siberian railroad with the
view of determining beforehand the
probable increase and character of COM

to encounter from that quarter

DEMOCRATS WANT MORE
Some OF the State House Off
cials Must Get Off
The Ticket Next Year, Says j.
Mack Love,
To Make Room for Democrats if the
Democratic Vote is Expected

Chairman J. Mack Love of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, says the
Democrats won't consent to the same
terms of fusion next year that they did
last year. To reporter for the Jour
nal Mr.. Love said today:
so far as have been able to sound
Democratic sentiment in Kansas. the
members of the party, unless hberally
recognized on the state and congress
sional tickets next year, will not con-
sent to fusion and would be very likely,
under those circumstances, to have a
ticket of their own in the field"
1.-THE Democrats have not discussed"
said Mr.. Love- the plans which they
will work upon in the next campaign.
We have not considered the proposition
which we will submit to the other par
ties We have done nothing of a po-
litical character or Significance except
watch the development of sentiment,
which, in my opinion, is very largely IN
favor of fusion.
Fusion, it has been argued, will be
very easy to accomplish next year be-
cause it is being effected in the counties
and townships throughout the state al
most every day now The allied forces
are getting together for the fail cam
paignS and experience no difhculty IN
dividing the offices in a manner which
meets the appreciation of the various
elements of the different parties. do
not believe, though, that this condition
will necessarily strengthen STATE fusion
next year. The Democratic party MEM
bers in Kansas will not consent to
fusion deal unless some of our people
are recognized
Have you in mind the Democrats
who are likely to want places on the
state ticket?''
mo, 1 have not, and I doubt if any
member of the party has made up his
mind on that point 1t is not queS-
tion of candidates at this time. 1t is
question of recognition. We have the
men, and plenty of them, who are COM
petent to fill any position in the state.
If there is any disposition to give us
places on the state ticket the question
of men will soon be disposed of by
mutual agreement of the members of
the partY.''
The Topeka state journal., 1897-08-24
ace Of state superlntendent might be-

place of State Superintendent might be
useful.
But Mr.. Stryker does not propose to
be obliterated from the political map
without showing fight.
There is little if any disposition to
proceed against Attorney General Boyle,
Secretary Bush or Auditor Morris.
There are, then, in the minds of the
Democratic managers, but two vulner-
able points on the state ticket One is
crea ted by the expected voluntary re-
tirement OF Mr.. Hefebower; the other
to be caused by urgency"
A congressman or two might square
things.
In the Fourth district last year, when
the Democrats were talking of nonninat-
ing H. S. Martin of Marion, John Mad
den of Emporia went to Mr.. Martin ON
the floor of the convention and said:
y Ou stand by me for tn s nOTntra ton
and if am defeated I will be for you
in two years from now"
Acting upon this suggestion Mr. Mar
tin threw his strength to Madden, who
was nominated. Now the Democrats
in the district are hopping mad at Mad
den, who has broken faith with Mr.
Martin and entered the race again. The
Democrats now propose to insist upon
Madden's carrying out his pledge.
If this is not done the Democrats will
nominate ticket of their own and that
will assure the defeat of the Populist
candidate in the Fourth.
In the Sixth district, which contains
some of the best Democrats in the state,
dissatisfa ction is expressed by Popu-
lists as well as Democrats with the rec
ord Cor lack of it, made by Congress
man Mccormick and an effort will be
made to permit him to retire to private
life and put Democrat in his place.
In the Seventh Jerry Simpson is con-
ceded the right of way. No attention
is paid to the first and no effort is be-
ing made to arrange fusion deal in the
Second, because it is believed that dis
trict will be Republican, while Con-
gressman RidgeIy is conceded a re-
nomina ton in the Third.
The Democratic price for fusion,
therefore, will be:
State treasurer.
State superintendent.
Congressman in the Fourth and Sixth
districts.
Should opposition to the congression-
a plans arise in the Populist camp.
the Democrats will insist upon having

WHO WILL HAVE TO GO
TO Make Places for Democrats in the
Next Campaign.

Now that Chairman J. Mack Love has
declared that the Democrats of Kansas
Will not fuse in the next state cam
paign unless they are literally recog-
nized in the distribution of offices upon
the state ticket, the question arises:
Who of the present state officers will
be compelled to give way in favor of
their Democratic allieS2"
Chairman Love refused to discuss this
phase of the proposition, but reporter
for the Journal, through other sources.
has been able to secure some informa-
tion on the situation.
As matters now stand, any one of the
state officers is in jeopardy OF course,
none of them will consent to being
turned down in favor of a Democrat,
but when the test comes it is hard to
tell what will happen or who will suf-
fer
ably make a vacancy of his own ac-
cord, as he has been threatening to quit
for months. He doesn't like office
work and is in love with his farm. He
his present term, it is said.
From now until the state convention
next year there will be a struggle over
Mr.. Hef1ebower's job if it is definitely
settled he is going to retire. There
will be POpulists galore exhibiting them
selves in full view of the place in the
hope of being pursued by the office
The filing which Mr. Love has already
made on the job in behalf of the Kansas
Democracy will cause hope eternal to
spring in the Democratic breast as the
patriots assemble to frame their de-
mandS for office, in exchange for which
they promise to furnish the ladder by
which the Populists may rise again.
The Democratic party in Kansas has
always aSpired to place on the Su-
preme bench. There is a host of en-
inent Democratic lawyers in the state
who might fill such a position credit
ably.
When Judge Allen made the decision
in the investigating committee case
there were wild huzzas in the Demo-
crate ranks, caused by the belief that
the decision would become so unpopular
that Judge Allen would likely be turned
down, affording the Democrats an op-
pOrtunity to press the claims of their
favorite, a. NJ. jackson of Howard
Judge jackson is Kentuckian and a
Democrat by birth and tradition. He
is skilled in the law and is pleasing and
affable IN his manner, but where does
he stand on corporations? This ques-
tion remains to be satisfactorily an
Swered.
Judge Aliens decision is, however,
now being rapidly forgotten. The COM
plants against him have fallen fat. He
is sailing along serenely and the reac-
succeed in getting his place it will be
one of the greatest surprises recorded
in the political history of Kansas.

RIVAL OF SPRECKELS.
A New Refinery of Cane Sugar Starts
m California

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Beet sugar
will not be the only product of the Starr
mill at Crockett when it starts UP about
January 1 next. The machinery will
permit of the refining of cane sugar as
well, and the prospects are that it will
take considerable of the Hawaiian crop
now controlled by Claus Spreckels.
Under the arrangement made some
years ago the Hawaiian planters are re-
Quired to send their sugar to the West
ern Refinery company to be clarified
and made merchantable, but this con-
tract will expire in December, and soon
thereafter the California Beet Sugar
and Refinery company, as the new en-
terprise is named, will be in position to
take as much of the island crop as is
not in control of the sugar trust as may
be shipped to this coast.

mills which have been idle, resumed

ket or to the need of repairs
In addition to this, several other
mills closed for two weeks in accord

custom. Many of the Fall River mills
resumed operations last week
