Ooburn On The Hog.

Mr.. Secretary Coburn, in his address

touched upon the hog, as the following
extracts will show:
ut has been said that in the
American log we have an automatic
combined machine for reducing the
bulk in corn and enhancing its value
A machine that feeds itself; puts ten
bushels of corn into less space than a
bushel measure, and in so doing quad
rupies the value of grain. Corn loaned
to a well bred hog is cash at big

Nowhere else as in this broad CEN
trail basin of southern North America,
filed with the silt of the centuries,
does corn grow in such opulence.
Where this cereal most abounds, there
the pig fionrishes and wakes fat. He

Lndgmants td ha Taxed.

One of tue good laws passed by the
Kansas legislature last March goes in
to effect January 18th. 1t authorizes
township and city assessors to assess all
money judgments rendered in the state
courts.
When any court renders judgment
against a resident of the state and the
ju lgmeut is made matter of record
the assessor may appraise the judgm ent
at what be thinks it is worth and tax
the b 'ldsr of the judgment the same as
he would If the judgment were a bond
OR other money security. The Law re-
quires county clerks to make returns to
the assessors of the number and amount
of these judgments so that he may
assess them. 1t gives the county
the right to sell the judgment for taxes
IL the holder allows the tax to become
delinquent. But here is the kernel ia
the nut: If the holder of the judgment
will at any time release his claim and
allow his dsbtors to go free from the
debt the assessor may abate the tax

deficiency debts on zeal estate, where

ANOTHER SILVER REVOLT.

1t is rumored from Washington that
Senator Wolcott is preparing to follow
his colleague. Senator T .ller. and cease
his affiliation with the Mckinley Cleve-
land wing of the Republican party. 1t
is announced further that with Senator
Woicott will go Senators Carter, War
rem, Shoup and Wilson. This will
place every prominent Republican of
the west, who is not an office-holder
under the administration or a mere
tool of some corporation, where be be
longs-in the free silver ranks. There
is no other logical resting place for
him The gold standard adherent in
the west is an Ishmaelite, tory and
traitor to the best interests of the great
trans Mississippi region. Men may
cry out against sectionalism, but the
sectional issue was first raised by the
east. The greed of the eastern trusts
and the cupidity of the eastern invest
ors have forced the coalition between
thu west and south. This coalition is
q defensive move made necessary by
the rapacity of the men who dominate
the politics of the east and are now
dominating the Mckinley administra
tiou as they dominated the Cleveland
administration.
There were in the west thousands OF
voters who supported Nc cKinley in 1896
because they believed in his pretended
friendiiness for silver and expected
beneficial results from an international
conference. Now that this has failed.
aud failed largely through the treach
ery Of the administration itself, these
silver men feel themselves fully alb
solved from all further allegiance to
Mr.. Mckinley and his gold standard
associates. Such men were the five
Republican senators above named
men who are still loyal to the silver
cause, but who hoped to accomplish
more by operating with the eastern
wing of the party than by cutting loose
when Messrs. Teller, Tuwne and thou
sands of other Republicans did, lmme
diately after the declaration in favor of
the single gold standard, at the ST.
Louis convention. They now realize
what the others then saw quite clearly.
that the machinery of the Republican
party had passed into the hands of the
corporate influence of the east, and
that the only tangible hope of the silver
cause lay in the cooperation with the
new Democracy born at Chicago.
These FIVE senators will not leave the
Republican party unattended. The
thousands who were deceived in 1896
by the same pretensions of friend ship
for silver will go with them. and will
leave with the old organization in the
west only few time servers who fol-
low politics for spoils. and are willing to
renounce all principle in hopes that
they may be able to. feed upon the
crumbs that fall from the administra.
