THE PARSONS DISTURB Hum.

Amid the chorus of ignorant and ar
rogant clamorers for territorial expan-
sion none are quite so offensive to
good sense and good taste as the cler-
ical mountebanks. Every issue Of
every expansionist organ has the
double-leaded statement of one of
these notoriety hunters, and the bur-
den of the song of one is the burden Ut
the song of all. God" say they, mas
marvellously given us the victory over
Spain's fleets and has put these islands
in our hands to advance his holy king
DOM l have seen this statement 20
times, il have once, and never see
it without yearning to kick the spot
where the tails of the clerical coat be-
gin to fork. 1t would be interesting
to know where these cock-sure gentle
men get their early information as TO
Gods designs. One would think they
nad leased wire running into the
New Jerusalem. And think of the
blasphemy of it! God was anxious to
annex the Philippines. Therefore he
set about to stir up war between Spain
and the United States. 1t follows that
he mus have melted the Spaniards to
devastate Cuba, and to blow up the
Maine, since without these things
there would have been no war. This
is the logic of these preachers foolish
talk. ! venture to say that there are
few men outside the churches who
would willingly so blaspheme and be-
little the creator and the father of Us
all-Spanlards, Filipinos and Ameri-
cans alike.-San Francisco Star.

SUNFLOwERS.

The sunfiower has never been looked
upon as a very desirable flower to
cultivate, but its uses are coming to
be known more generally, and it may
not be many years before it will be
largely cultivated by farmers or by
those who have a little land. There
is no plant that grows so vigorously
and rapidly, and has such an enorm-
Gus yield of seed as we'll as of leaves
and stock, all of which can be used.
The plant is hardy "a we'll and will
yield fifty bushels of seed to the
acre. This will give fifty gallons of
oil worth one dollar a gallon. The
seeds are especially good as food for
fowls, and when mixed with grain.
farm animals like them. The stalks
make good fuel. The Orientals mix
dried sunfower leaves with their to-
bacco. and from the flowers make
yellow dye. The flowers also con
tain a good deal of honey and wax,
and so would be valuable aid to bee
raising.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The senate,
after short debate, passed the pen
sion bill, which this year carries about
S145, 100000. Particular interest was
manifested in the speech of Mr.. Plat
(rep., N. W on the general subject of
expansion. The speech was the first
he has delivered in the senate
since his return to that body. He ar
gued for expansion and ratification of
the peace treaty.
The following resolution was offered
by Mr. Sullivan tdem., Miss.) who
asked that it lie on the table:
THAT the ratification of the pending
treaty with Spain shall in no wise de-
termine the policy to be pursued by the
United States in regard to the Philip

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The opposi-

after Mr.. Henderson (rep., Ia.) one of

threatened to vote to re-commit the
bill, decided 1t would be wise, in order
to secure its passage, to abandon the
idea of providing directly for a regular
army of 100000 men. He announced
that the committee would offer amend
ments to reduce the number of enlisted
men to about $4,000 but lodge in e
president discretion to increase the
army to maximum of 100000.

sion bills, Mr.. Ray (rep., N. " made

The senate passed bill to pension
her for that amount. The house bill
was for $50.

eral and care for dead body accord

A few months ago the state organiza-
ton of undertakers, which has As mem
bers, made representations that the
railroads would October 1 put into
force a rule requiring a certificate,
accompanying dead bodies in shipment,
from an undertaken holding a certih-
cate issued by the state board of health
Then the board of health became in
terested. A committee was appointed
to look into the matter and the under
takers association appointed a COM
mittee from their own membership to
conduct the examinations. All pro
gressed nicely up to this stage of the
proceedings. The board of health at
its regular quarterly meeting soon dis
posed of the proposition by declining to
have anything to do with it, for three
reasons:
First-The railroads are not consider
ing the plan of putting into force such
a rule as the undertakers reported to
the board.
Second-The state board of health
has no power to enter into an arrange
ment which will elevate or lower the
standard of the work of embalming.
Third-The scheme of the undertake
erS was believed to be a gigantic effort
to organize a trust and make the state
association the absolute dictator as to
who should be permitted to engage in
the business.
The first two reasons assigned are
Self-6XDIanatOTV, other needs
amplification. The facts are that
committee of five members of the state
association of undertakers or funeral
directors, had been designated to con-
duct the examinations. This commit
tee was to have the sole power to issue
certificates of competency.
With such measure of power and
authority, the state association believed
that an easy road to the removal of
large number of men now engaged in
the business would be opened.

SAVE THE BOSSES.
Ewing Herbert Flies to Their Sup
mort


Ewing Herbert, editor of the Brown
County World, postmaster at Hiawatha
and an influential politician in that
county, has grown tired of the assaults
which are being made by ''reformerS''
upon Cyrus Leland and his friends in
the Republican party. Mr.. Herbert is
for peace and these are some of the
suggestions which he makes editorially:
THE men attacked are supporting
the administration of the Republican
party. If they are bad leaders would
succeeding leaders be any better? Is
bOSSiSm any worse in Cy Leland, who
is a shreWd, capable politician, than it
would be in one refOrmer and others
who are constantly fighting Leland and
incidentally knitting Republican sue
cess in order to reach him. Couldn't
the several reformers and various other
high priests who dislike Leland ct al,
keep their assaults out of print-espe-
cially when they know that eStrange-
ment and disruption and factiOnal, di-
Viding party warfare is all that public
denunciatiOn accOmpliSheS. Leland and
his crowd will never be licked by men
who wish to supplant him. 1t may be
possible some time to have no boss at
all, but it will first be necessary to kill
all the little bosses-the toad-stools
which spring up each day in every ward
and township And haven't Mr.. Leland
and Mr.. Lambert and Mr.. Albaugh and
many others quite as good a right to
agree among themselves as to what de-
serving man they shall support for Of
citizen? They don't always WHITTIER
choice isn't always the choice of the
people, but their course is quite as de-
fensible as that of the dissenting re-
formers.
THE reformer can do his party no
greater service than to give credit
where credit is due and keep his mouth
shut when mistakes are made, ever
mindful of the faults that we are all
heir to. If the reformers had the good
sense to treat party leaders and GER
tain other Republicans with some de-
gree of courtesy there would not now
be the present muddle in the First dis
trict politics. But despite the muddle
and meddle and harsh words and sense
less Wrangle, Mr. Baker will be re-
elected Charlie Curtis will be re-
elected congressman in the First dis
trict. Leland will be national commit
teeman again and Bailey will succeed
himself as congressman-at-la large"

LITTLE VS.. FUNSTON.
Talk of Running the Two Officers For
Congressman-at-Lar

The nomination of General Fred Fun
ston for congressman at large on the
Republican ticket, by the organ of the
Republican party in Kansas, has set
the Populist politicians to thinking
some of their candidate for this posi-
ton.
Rev. ]. D. Botkin, who has served one
term in this place, is now a candidate
for denomination But the support
which he is receiving is to say the least
Iuke-Warm. Now the PopuliSts want to
make an arrangement which will come
in for a share of the glory of war and
are talking Ed Little for the place.
Little has been lieutenant colonel of
the Twentieth since it left Kansas, hav-
ing been appointed by Governor Leedy.
He was at the time Governor Leedy's
private secretary. Little was a candi-
date for congressman -at-1arge at Abi-
lene when he was converted to POpu-
lism and in a public speech renounced
Republicanism. The Populists believe
that Little would make a first-class
race for congressman -at-large and are

MIR. BARNES BILL.
Auditor Cole Refuses to Allow Ex-
penses For Philadelphia Trip.

There was grief at the state house
this morning when State Auditor Cole
turned down a voucher for $44.4O, pre-
sented by w. H. Barnes, secretary of
the state horticultural society, as his
expense in attending the meeting of the
American Pathological society in Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. Barnes went to Philadelphia to
attend this meeting at the time the
G.. A. r. reunion and encampment was
in session there. He paid out for rail-
road fare $32. so; for two nights in a
sleeper, $3.50; other expenses amounted
to $7.3O.
The voucher was presented for pay
ment this morning, but the state audi
tor declined to pass it, holding that the
appropriation made for travelling eX-
penses for the secretary specifies that
these expenses are such as may be
created by the secretary in travelling
over the state to attend to the business
of his department. Mr.. Cole holds that
the appropriation bill can not be, un-
der any circumstances, construed to
mean that the expenses of such a jun
ket may be thus paid.

BURTON WILL STAY.
Makes Final Refusal to Get Out of
Senator Bakers Way.

J. r. Burton has made final answer
to the proposition from NJ. w. Sutton,
internal revenue collector for Kansas,
declining to get out of the senatorial
race next year, and refusing to enter
into combination against Cyrus Le-
land at this time.
Mr.. Sutton held a long interview with
Mr.. Burton last week and mapped out
the situation, showing Burton how cas-
lily he can be elected senator to sue
ceed w A. Harris, explaining too that
Mr.. Baker will surely be reelected next
year.
Mr.. Burton did not like the suggestion
personally, so he held a conference of
his friends. George Clark, Jim Simp-
son, Frank Grimes, George F1ndlay and
a few others, met in Treasurer Grimes
private office and decided that Burton
should not withdraw at this time or at
any other time this year or next.
Mr.. Burton will make this fight
against Mr.. Baker" said MIR. Grimes,
and will do his best to secure the nom
ination and election at the hands of the
next legislature"

MR.. LELAND'S PASSES.
Refuses to Believe They Were Stolen,
Though They Are Gone.

Cyrus Leland is looking for his rail-
road passes, a dozen or so which he
lost during his trip to EmpOria to at
tend the street fair. When he discov-
cred that the passes had disappeared
Mr.. Leland offered a reward for their
return and did not charge that some one
had stolen them. He said:
Il think the card case containing the
passes in some way slipped out of my
pocket A man would not expect to be
robbed in as good a town as Emporia.
and for that reason 1 think 1 have lost
my property"
Mr. Leland came home from Emporia
by paying his fare and his companions
had considerable fun at his expense be-
cause for the first time in years he
paid out the cash to ride on a Kansas
railroad.

CHINESE LEATHER.

The process by which the Chinese
leather acquires it's peculiar character
stics is described as follows: The skins
are put into tubs containing water. salt
petre and salt, and after thirty days are
taken out the hair is shaved off and the
skins we'll washed in spring water: each
hide is then cut up into three pieces and
well steamed, which is done by passing
them several times backward and for
ward over d steamng oven. Further.
each piece is stretched out separately
over flat board and secured with nails,
so as to gradually and thoroughly dry in
the sun. The oven smoke makes the
leather black, and if it is desired to have
1t of yellow appearance it is rubbed
over with water in which the fruit of
the so-called wongchee tree has been
soaked. OF the offal. glue is made by
heating it in pans for twelve hours over
a slow fire. and the glue so obtained is
poured into rough, earthen vessels,
where it remains three days, in order to
coagulate; the solid mass is cut into
pieces with sharp knives and carefully
laid upon gratinglike trays to dry--the
