Hutchinson Gazette (POp): We wish
to suggest as good subject for the mil
itary editors of the Kansas dailies to
discuss, that they now explain how it
Is that Kansas troops officered by men
appointed through political influence,
who don't know the difference between
an army corps and an apple core, can
drill soldiers which rank among the

grades in competitive drills above many
OF the regiments Of other States made

Chief Justice DOster: A Judge Is

to publicly discuss public questions so
that he does not take the time from
the performance Of his official duties.
Judge Brewer, of the United States Su-

frequently does so. He is at this time,

Lyons Republican: The Republican
Central committee Of the Big Seventh
district met at Hutchinson Tuesday,
touched elbows and inspired each other.
That is, the four out of thirty-seven who
were there did, and they were backed
and supported in their arduOus labors
and glowing reports by forty-three diff
ferent postmasters, and it was grand,
yea, soul-inspiring, spectacle to see
these postmasters embrace each other
and extend congratulations upon the
flattering condition of-themselves. The
party will feel rejuVenated, refreshed
and re-enlivened from such meetings.
A thousand votes were certainly won
by the enthusiasm. The reports Of the
postmasters were most encouraging,
while the committeeman were allowed
to indOrse the glowing reports. An ac-
curate account kept Of these show that
Long will be elected by 12,84S votes

Boston Herald Qnd): Secretary AL
gers failure has arisen not alone from
incompetency, but from the associations
and the methods which attended his in
duction into Office. He came there as
a politician, and a politician with a
circle Of followers to provide for. He
had known public life only as a poll
tiCian In the sense of the word in its
spOils application. The war afforded him
great opportunities here. There were
many contracts to be awarded and wide
advantages for comforting favors at the
hands Of his department. We do not
think 1t uncharitable to assume that
that Secretary Alger used them after
the manner Of his kind. He had entered
politics and had acted in 1t in that way.
The results of his administration, In its
failure, point in this direction. It's con-
trast with the results in the navy seem
to confirm. The navy has been thor
Oughly efficient. It's contrast to the fric-
tion in the army is most impressive.
What has made the difference? We can
attribute It to but two causes-ineffici-
ency in the head of the War department
or the introduction Of politics in its
administration. The Secretary Of War
has the alternative of one or the other.
We fear that both are responsible.

"a certain engineer has proposed n

of such an undertaking Is that, IL this

the passage of the warmer tide, coming
from the south through the Tshuma

Every nullet It's Own Doctor.


In spite of the terrible increase in the
destructiyeness of modern warfare the
tendency of the times is to make con-
fiict as humane as practicable. For this
reason tho use of copper covered bullets
has been frowned upon, and Philadei-
phia physician has plan that he claims
will wonderfully mitigate the suffering
of man whose body has been perforat-
ed by the modern small caliber bullet.
It is we'll established that the velocity
and penetrating force Of these bullets
are 30 great that unless they chance to
strike a bone they will pass entirely
through man 8 body without his know
ing 1t. The physician idea Is to attach
a small wad Of aniseptic cotton to the
rear of the bullet. This would be cover.
cd by the shell of the cartridge and
could not interfere with loading or fr-
ing AS the bullet passes through per-
son the wad will antisepttoize the wound
and prevent consequent suppuration. 1t
may be possible to so nicely adjust the
adhesion Of the wad to the bullet that
as the missile passes out it will leave
the wad to plug the hole and stop bleed
ing. Ultimately this system might do
away with the necessity of large med
ical corps, as each bullet would carry
medical treatment for the unfortunate
1t wounded. -Philadelphia Record.

To all those who spend their time

would suggest that an examination OF
the plaintiffs petition in the case OF
Schneider versus Hosier, 2 Ohio st.

ject. 1t was suit under civil damage
act, and the plaintiff alleged in her Pc
tition that she Twas the wife of one
Zimri Hosier, on whose good conduct.
frugality and personal labor she was
dependent for the support of herself and
their seven minor children, for the
proper culture and moral training of
the latter. and, to good extent, for
her own position in society. The said
Zimri Hosier. when not intoxicated or
laboring under the effects of intoxica-
ton, was an industrious laboring man
and regularly earned and received for
his labor $l.50 day" There's man
agement for you. Seven children and a
wife supported, the children properly
cultured and morally trained and the
wife's position in society maintained
all ON $3.50 day. Perhaps there may
have been extenuating circumstances in
the intoxication of Zimri. Law Notes.

RECENT INVENTIONS.

Rv a new device blind shutters can

as the suns rays shine or disappear,
thermostat being attached to the
blind to close an electric circuit ana
shut the blinds as the suns rays be-

Envelopes can be quickly moistened

from which a wick rises to feed water
to an absorbent roller, which turns

on an ordinary moving machine, one
wire of the dynamo being attached to

ed through one Of the wheels, so that II
the weeds are cut when damp cur
rent of electricity enters each root ana
burns 1t as the top is cut.
Imprisoned miners can be supplied
with food and air by a newly patented
conduit system, consisting of series
of pipes, to be laid through the mine
shafts, with branch pipes running
around each section to be used If the
main pipe should be crushed by
caye-in, flexible conveyors being run
through the pipes to carry the food.
Bicycle tires can be automatically
inflated when punctured, by new
pump, consisting of a yoke which en-
circles the tire and extends around
the rim to support the piston-rod
mounted in cylinder attached to the
rim. The yoke sinks In with each
revolution as soon as the tire becomes
soft, and gives a stroke on the piston,
which Is forced back again by a spring

out the necessity of docking by new
ly patented apparatus, which Is
mounted on a small boat or scow, and
attached to the side of the ship to be
cleaned, and has an adjustable ladder,
at the outer end of which is mounted
