Thanks TO the Gar.

w INV ' Sh'"
Tom Reed rules the House with
autocratic power. He determined
that the House should do no business
until the Senate passed the tariff
bill. In accordance with this decree
he refused to appoint the standing
committees and so, for three months,
the House has held its own hands in
complete distress. But the country
will now deal gently with the Gar
in consideration Of the service rem
dered by him in defeating the infa-
nous sugar schedule adopted by the
Senate at the dictatiou of the Sugar
Trust. When that schedule, which
would take S35,OOO, GEO, from the
pockets Of the pockets of the poo
pie and put il into the pockets of the
trust, came from the Senate as a.
part Of the tariff bill. Mr.. Reed,
through his lieutenans, DinglCy and
others, told the Senate confcrcCs
that under no circumstances should
it become a law. The result WAS that
he forced the Senate COutrrCCs,
chief among whom were AldriCh, Al
liSOu and Nevada Jones, to abandon
the Schedule and a substitute far less
favorable to the trust was agreed
upon and reported to the two houses
by the conference committee. Sena-
tor Aldrich, who seems to represent
tho trust, claims that he is not
wholly beaten, but it is clear that
the Car made his influence felt,
this time for the dublic good.
TIE BEER TAN.-ScnatOr Teller
boldly charged in the Senate that
the proposed increase in the tax
on beer, which would have yielded
$50, 900, 900 Of revenue, was dropped
from the tariff bill for no other pur-
pose than TO influence the brewers
vote in the campaign in Ohio.
THE beer tax" said the Senator,
would not have cost the consumer
Il single mill. II would have been
borne by the beer manufacturers"
Mark Hanna was there in the Sen.
ate and is a candidate for reelection.
He wants Republican Legislature
elected in Ohio this fall. Under the
circumstances what cared he for the
loss of the revenue on beer when he
could make it up by taxing the peo-
pie so much more on the ncCessariCs
of life?
NEW PRINCIPAL PPOINTED.-Atl
meeting Of the Board of Regents
of the State School for the Deaf and |
Dumb, at Romney, held there on
the l4th inst, the resignation of
Principal Hill Was accepted and |
Prof. j. 7. Ruckcr, of Grcenbrier,
was selected to fill the place. He
will take charge in August.
Mr.. Pickering, of Fairmont, was
elected steward; IL. II. johnson was
re-appointed senior teacher of the |
blind department, Miss Albright,
Miss Lobe and Miss Lucas will be i'm |
charge of the music department.
Saying that Principal HIPS rcsig-
nation was accepted is, we presume,
only polite way of saying that he
was removed.

BACK TO ANCIENT WAY.
State Printing Office Won't Use
Typesetting Machines.
An Order Which Will Please
the Union Printers.

The union printers of Topeka are re-
joicing over the announcement that type
setting machines will not be used in the
state printing office by John S. Parks, the
new state printer, who will succeed Ma
jor Hudson next Thursday.
The principle reason for the abandon
ment of the machines is that the legisla-
ture attached to the appropriation bills for
the state printer for the ensuing two
years, rider containing a provision that
the state printer should receive but 10
cents per 1000 ems for machine work
This proviso practically destroys all the
profit in that class of work.
For hand composition the rate runs
from 80 to 45 cents per 1000 ems, and is
vastly more profitable. For that reason
the state printer will abolish machines
and adhere strictly to hand composition.
The Topeka Typogra phical union made
a vigorous fight during the legislature,
endeavoring to secure the passage of a
law prohibiting the use of machines in
the state office, but were unsuccessful
During the last few days of the session,
when appropriation bills were being con-
sidered hurriedly the rider was attached
to the state printers appropriation and
both were passed without opposition.
This gains for the printers the point for
which they were contending, although it
was not secured in the manner which had
been expected.

plar of a mother, the ideal widow, and
who goes down to history as a good
queen. A good queen may delay that
which q dozen tyrants may speed, but
in the history of the royal house, the
reign of a good woman has been SO in
frequent that her years are not only
conspicuous and honorable of them
selves, but they are especially lumin-
Gus when the long line of kings and
queens comes under the lime light.
And, finally I want to say in justice

address, which was the last address of
the afternoon the participants in the
celebration turned their attention to-

fees and one from the Santa Fe shops.
was started in one part of the park,
while Aunt Sally" tug-Of-War and 9th
er sports, characteristic of England,
were also engaged in.
The game of Aunt Sally which is a
sport popular at all race courses and
fairs in England, consists in shying
sticks at clay pipes in the mouth of
wooden figure with the object of knock
ing the pipe from its position. In this
game Mr. P. l. BOnebrake and ex-GOV-
ernor Thomas A. Osborn carried off the
honors. At O'Clock the picnickers en-
joyed basket supper.
During the afternoon Kenneth Nc
Donald, the piper, entertained the peO-
pie at the park with a number of Scot
fish and English airs. One of these airs
a Highland schottische, was danced to
by Mr.. and Mrs. T. D. Humphreys.

THE FOURTH OF JULY
Celebrated in Topeka on Saturday
No Statute on the Subject.

I
The grand and glorious Fourth of
/ July this year falls on Sunday. It ap-
| pears that it will be observed on Satur-
| day in Kansas. This will delight the
small boy, for it would be a painful de-
! lay to wait till Monday. Every town in
| the state which has arranged celebra-
ton has fixed it for Saturday. There is
one strong point in favor of Saturday.
The noise will have to come to an end
! Saturday night at midnight. as the firing
| of explosives later will desecrate the Sab
! bath.
The observance of holidays which fall
on Sunday is not governed in Kansas by
statutes. The law does not state posi-
lively the holiday Observance but mem
tons holidays with regard to legal obli-
cations. In the compiled laws of 1889 OF
Kansas, section 4S1. paragraph ., is the
following with regard to holidays:
whenever the third day of grace falls
upon Sunday, the Fourth day of July, the
twenty day of December. the first of
January. or upon any day appointed by
the president of the United States. or the
governor of this state. for a public feast
or thanksgiving, the next proceeding
business day shall be deemed the last
day of grace"
This would indicate that had the legis-
lature fixed holidays which fall Sun
the next preceding day"
In Topeka the day will be celebrated a
Garfield park under the direction of Mar
shaus band, and at the fair grounds in
charge of L. NJ. Crawford. Both will be
paid entertainments
At the fair grounds there will be bal
loon ascensions, band concert bicycle
races, trotting races, running races pony
races, mule race, pacing race. sack race,
Il fo1 II
Pottawatomie Indians will give war
dance, and fight pictures will be exhibit
ed. The fun begins at 10 a. m. and ex>
tends into the evening. The price of ad-
mission is 10 cents.
At Garfield park the band will give con-
certs, there will be sack, foot and run
ming races and funny contests. It will
begin in the morning and continue into
the evening to close with q band concert
by MarshalFs band and fireworks.
Numerous picnics have been planned for
Saturday, and aside from the Garfield
park and fair grounds celebrations To-
peka will not make public observance of
the day. No Fourth of July orator will
spit fire and patriotism on that day in
Topeka. The stores have placed large
orders for all sorts of fireworks, and the
doctors have laid in a supply of cotton
and other appliances for surgery.
The police department has some plans
in contempla ton for the regulation and
protection of the people. No fireworks
will be allowed to be discharged after
midnight Saturday night and fire.
crackers will be allowed to be discharged
on Monday. One more regulation should
be made and that is that no firearms
should be discharged at all. They are
often loaded with powder and ball and
many deaths result from this indefensi-
bic practice every Fourth.
