KANSAS VOLUNTEERS.
Although Brigaded Several Times
They Do Not Reach the Front.


Not one of the three regiments or
ganized in Kansas has been sent to the
front.
The Twentieth Kansas was among
the very first to arrive in San Fran
cisco. 1t was there long before the
Iowa regiment but two days after the
Iowa regiment arrived it was assigned
to the first expedition to the Philippines.
Then the Twentieth Kansas was re
brigaded and had to sit on the fence
and watch the Idaho regiment go to
the Philippines, although the Idaho
regiment arrived long after the Kan
sas regiment and had been in camp
but four days.
Then Kansas was re-brigaded again
and set back the second time. Now
the third expedition has gone to the
Philippines and Kansas has once more
been brigaded and will not go until the
fourth expedition July 10 and perhaps
not then.
The Twenty-first Kansas at Chick
amauga. was first brigaded with the
Eighth Massachusetts and the Seventy
first New York. An order was received
for the Eighth Massachusetts and the
Seventy first New York to go to Tam
pa and they went The TWenty-first
Kansas was again brigaded with the
Second Massachusetts and then the
Second Massa chusetts was ordered to
Tampa and the Twenty-frst Kansas
was left behind.
At Camp AIger, Falls Church, Va,
the Twenty-secOnd Kansas was bril-
gaded with the Ninth Massachusetts
and the Twenty-fOurth Michigan. The
first order was for the Ninth Massa-
chusetts and the Twenty-fourth Michi-
gan to move to the front. Then the
Twenty-second Kansas was brigaded
with the Sixth Massac husetts. Finally
the Sixth Massachusetts has received
orders taking them to the front and
the Twenty Kansas remains be-
hind.
1.-The government has appropriated
SIS, 240 a year for the Kansas National
Guard for thirteen years, making a
total of $107. 120," said Col. J. W. +.
Hughes. 1.-THE state of Kansas has ap-
propriated $40 600 approximately since
1878, or total of 5000, GOO, making q
total of $307, 100 expended for the Kan
when the call for volunteers came the
National Guard was totally ignored.
What good did the appropriation do?
1.-The whole trouble about the Kan
sas- regiments not going to the front re
suits from the fact that their officers
are incompetent. The regular army
officers have Complimented many of the
militia regiments of other states, say
ing they were as well equipped and Of
fcered as the regulars. When the
Kansas regiments were sent to the diff
ferent government camps they had no
equipment whatever. I can not see
what has become of the money appro-
priated for the Kansas guard. They
should have had some equipment left.
I am certain that if the Kansas Nation
al Guard officers had been appointed
that the Kansas regiments would have
gone to the front as soon as any but
they must wait now until their officers
learn their business"

The Police Jury at their meeting on
Tuesday fixed the liquor license for
the year 1899 at $3.50, which is pretty
heavy license these hard times. Some
time ago the City Council fixed the
license at $500, but decided to wal, ON
the Police Jury to see what that BODY
would do, as the town license cannon
exceed the parish license. After The
Police Jury met and fixed the license
there was nothing for the City Coun-
Gil to do but to meet and make the
license the same as the parish, which
was done. 1t will now take $3.50 to
dispense liquor for next year.
