The Emperor of Germany shows his
snallness by prohibiting the comforting of
medals for military services on German
American citizens. There are great many
Germans in tho United States who served
in the German army during the Franco
German war of 1870 and who are fairly en-
titled TO the medals awarded TO the sur
viving veterans OF that war, but the En-
peror shuts them out because they have
become American citizens. The United
States government makes no distinction be-
tween pensions paid to foreign-born verer-
ans of the Union army, whether they re-
mained N this country or returned to that
OF their birth. Aside from the equities of
the case the Kaiser should remember the
proverb. ..Noblssse obhge" An emperor
could afford 10 be generous IN his treat
ment of these who helped TO found his en-
pire. even if they have become citizens of
another country.

A correspondent of Harpers Weekly who
has made Il careful and thorough investiga-
ton of the facts relating to mortgage in
debtedness in Kansas, past and present
reaches some interesting conclusions. The
United States census for 1890 gave the entire
mortgage Indebtedness Of Kansas including
those held in the West as well as in the
East, as $24O,0900C0. The best information
obtainable leads the correspondent to con-
clude that since 1890 no less than $50 600 600
of the above debt has been paid and there
have been foreclosures amounting to $4O,-
100000, SO that ON the LIST of April next the
total mortgage Indebtedness of the State will
not exceed $4,000 900. Although the liquida-
ton of mortgages has been going on since
1890, by far the largest number We're paid
off last year. A leading banker who has
been in business in Emporia twenty-six
years said that in all his experience he had
never seen such a desire to pay debts and
such a result in debt-paying in the State
as during 1897 Many mortgages We're paid
off far in advance of maturity, and loan
agents who had done a profitable business
for many years lending Eastern money now
found. their occupation gone.

Although details are lacking of the agree
ment between the United States and Japan
regarding the status of the japanese in Ha.
wall in the event of annexation, there is
reason to believe that it removes all the
points of friction and ends japanese oppo-
sition to annexation. This opposition might
not have been an important factor in the
the way. incidentally it seems likely that
the agreement has liberalized the status OF
Japanese in the United States and puts
those in Hawaii on the same footing in case
of annexation.

Ten days ago Senator Allen, of Nebraska,
consumed part Of two days of the Senate
in parading the complaint of woman who
had Nbeen dismissed from a clerkship in the
Pension Bureau, insisting that AN attack
had been made upon her character. Several
pages of the Congressional Record are de-
voted to exploiting the matter. 1t was re-
ferred to the proper committee, which gave
a hearing a few days ago. A letter from
the officials making, the discharge made it
clear that the dismissal was warranted upon
charges which did not affect the character
of the woman. When the senator saw the
letter he realized that he had raised a dis
turbance without cause and was willing to
let the matter drop. This is craftsmanship.

The trial of Sheriff Martin and his depu-
ties for the killing of miners in the Halle
ton strike of last year involves an i'm
portant principle. Human life is held too
cheap in this country, and there have been
too many Instances of violence. both by
mohs and officers of the law. The latter are
mo less reprehensible than the former and
the interests of law and order require that
both should be punished. Murder by sher-
iff and his deputies is as great crime as
murder by mob. and calls equally for the
enforcement Of law. BY this it is not in
tended to say that the killing of the Halle
ton strikers was murder. though the gem
eral verdict at the time was that it was
entirely uncalled for, but it certainly is u

out does not appear, but the revelations
which he made at the time awakened the
country to the fact that large portion OF
what was consumed as lard was a COM
pound of cotton-seed oil, beef fat and any
sort of white grease that could be mixed
with them.
Mr.. Davis furnishes an array of figures to
show that the supply of hogs has been grad
ually diminishing for years, when compared
with the. increase of the number of con-
sumers If the number of hogs in the United
States had kept pace with population, the
last report of the Department of Agricul-
ture would have shown sixty million in
stead Of the forty million hogs in the coun-
try to-day. This falling off Mr.. Davis at
tributes to the discovery of cotton-seed oil
and its very general use as a substitute for
lard with other fats.
For the six years which ended with 1895
the annual average product of cotton was
100000 bales. raised upon twenty million
acres. A thousand pounds is the average
yield of seed to a bale of cotton, a
little more than two pounds of cot
ton seed to one pound of lint being
taken from the product. This means that
four millions of tons of cotton seed have
been put upon the market every year the
past decade, 80 per cent. of which has gone
into commercial channels i'll oil and seed.
An average cotton crop yields 12O,00O,O0O
gallons of oil and about two million tons
of cotton-seed meal. Pound by pound cot
ton seed and the portions of the hog devoted
to lard yield the same. His further figures
show that a very large portion of the al
legged lard which is used is not made from
the >hog product. He also states that the
cotton-seed oil is used to color and give
character to creamery butter is sent abroad
and reimported to as olive oil, and under
other names and counterfeits is sold for
that which it is not.
Mr. Davis reaches the conclusion that
since 1887 a by-product of cotton, costing
$3.50, 600, has taken the place of the prod
uct of 75,000.OO0 acres Of corn during the
decade. causing loss to the corn-raiser Of
nearly N,0O0eCO, 00O.t He concludes that it
would be a good bargain for the raisers Of
corn to purchase the cotton seed and cast
it into the sea, assured that when this
should be done the corn, whose place it has
taken for feed and for lard, and in the pro-
duction of beef and other farm products
would command the price of the decade
which ended with 1887. He makes it appear,
by series Of computations, that cotton
seed meal and oil have taken the place of
9,25O,OOO acres of corn annually
Mr.. Davis's article is calculated to attract
much attention, and is certainly worthy of
the consideration of those who live in the
corn belt. His remedy for the cheapening
of corn by cotton seed is to turn more acres
of corn land to the production of wheat.

rels, agree upon nothing and in con-
sequence the Government goes to the
eternal bow-wows and business is
completely upset.
If business is to be preserved in
its present progressive course, Presi-
dent Mckinley must be indorsed and
supported by the election of Repub-
lican Congress. The election of a
Democratic Congress is the insertion
of the camels head into the Govern
mental tent. The next move of the
beast will be the pushing of the whole
body of Bryanized popocratism into
control of all branches of National
government.

Dangers From Democracy,

This reads like an editorial from a
Republican paper, but it isn't:
President Mckinley will be seriously
embarrassed in disposing of the ques-
tions arising out of the war with Spain
II the Democrats succeed in control
ling the next House.
There are many questions which will
afford opportunities for disagreements
between the Executive and an oppo-
sition House. There will be the ques-
tion of reducing the war taxes to a
peace asis again, which may reopen
all the tariff questions and unsettled
business If it is not handled by an
Executive and a Congress in political
harmony. Most important of all will
be the question of the disposition to
be made of the islands released from
Spanish control during the war and
the forms of government to be given
them.
1nis is an extract from a Washing
ton special to the New York Herald.
Despite IS Democratic origin, it is
true. Whatever else the Democratic
party may lack of fixed principle, there
is this certainty-it can always be
counted upon to oppose vigorously and
viciously any defined policy of a Re-
publican administration. Evidence
of this is furnished in the reply of ex-
Representative Kerr, now in charge of
the Congressional campaign headquar-
ters, when asked what policy the Dem
ocrats would adopt on the Philippine
question.
THE Democrats" said Mr.. Kerr,
''can not adopt a policy until the ad-
ministration has made ..nown it's pol
ICY"
= Having the Republican policy de-
fined, the Democratic policy is plain.
1t is just the reverse.
II the Democracy stands for any
thing 1t stands for disorganization.
When the Republicans are in control
the Democrats oppose everything the
administration proposes. When the
Democrats gain the ascendency they
occupy the occasion in factional quar-
