Whatever has been said in the past
regarding the relative merits Of SchIev
and Sampson, Is Of little worth when
viewed in the light of the demonstra-
ton IN honor Of Dewey in New York
last Saturday. Wherever Admiral
Sehley appeared he was greeted By an
out0urst Of applause second only to
that accorded the hero Of the occasion.
admiral Sampson scarcely attracted
more than the ordinary attention be
slowed upon a public official BY a crowd
bent on cheering everything and every
body. The verdict Of the people on the
Sehley-Sampson controversy was rem
dered in 50 positive a form that there
VIII scarcely be any attempt in the fu-
tUre to reverse it.

Kansas CattIe and swine.

Secretary F. D. CobuUn, of the state
board Of agriculture, has made a care
full investigation as to the probable
amount of stock that will be fattened
in Kansas during the following winter,
and he says upon this subject:
kansas annually fattens vast num-
bers of cattle and swine (more than
$4,000, 600 WORTHY varying somewhat &C
cOrding to the quantity Of grain and
forage produced during the preceding
growing season, although the price Of
stOckers may also prove considerable
Of factor in determining the number
to be fulfilled. Kansas has a much lar
ger supply than usual of the very best
meat-producing foods this year, and
the all-impOrtant question now is how
it may best be utilized. The first pro-
position to be considered viii be the
probable profit Of sending it to market
By the live stock route, and hence the
combination of an immense corn crop,
abundance Of all kinds Of forage, and
the high price Of stock animals, has
caused much speculation as to the pro-
bable number Of cattle and hogs which
viii be grain-fattened in the state this
coming fall and winter.
Realizing the public interest and
value Of information along this line.
inquiries have been made Of leading
stOckgrOwers, feeders, and farmers, 10
Gated principally in the foremost corn
and stock counties, with q view to as
certaining what in their judgment is
likely to be done in this direction com
pared with last years operations; if
stock cattle and hogs are considered
too high for probable profit in fatten-
ing, with grain and fat stock prices as
at present, and what feeders viii ike
" have to pay for corn, delivered in
their feed lots, between now and
Christmas.
"a summing up Of the reports re-
eeived show that in many Of the larger
cattle counties there is likely to be an
increased number fattened over last
year, and in others more or less Of q
decrease, while apparently there is q
general scarcity Of hogs, and the num-
Der for winter fattening is almost
without exception reported less than
last year"

The Blossom House Political Gang. Q
The Topeka Capital, which is the
leading republican paper of Kansas
and which is the Law and gospel to a
considerable part Of Kansas, tells some
wholesome truths in the following:
HMr. Leland's political gang, that
decides who shall be appointed to all
federal offices from bank receivers
down to 800 pOstmasters, meets at tue
Blossom house in Kansas City, Mo. It
is at this rendezvous that United
States senators, congressman, state
senators and representatives are also
elected During these meetings Of the
gang, which is composed of the county
bosses, it is determined what decoy
ducks shall be brought out to rally
local strength for the state convention.
"The Kansas City Journal of yester-
day contained an account Of the meet
ing on Sunday, in which, among other
questions to be decided, was, who
should be selected from the gang to
ill the place Of receiver of the Atchi-
son National bank. The Journal indi-
Gated that the position was not to be
filed for the benefit Of the unfortunate
stockholders and dePositors, but with
a view to assisting Mr.. Bailey in his
congressional fight in Atchison coun-
ty, and securing for the gang a posi-
tICn, where there was little work and
large pay. Stockholders and deposit
Ors no doubt understand that their in
terests are secondary to those of the
gang.
"Another question at the Sunday
meeting was the selection Of a success
sor to Senator Harris in 1903, Mr..
Baker having been decided upon to
succeed himself In 1901. Then the
boss desires to succeed himself as
member from Kansas Of the national
committee as an endorsement for his
successful conduct Of the national
campaign Of 1896 and the Cuban war.
The plan Of distributing the supervis-
Ors Of the census among those who
had been faithful in doing the dirty
work OF the boss and his gang was also
determined upon. The Journal stated
that the sentiment Of the gang was
favorable to Modifying Mr.. J. n. Simp-
son, Of Mcpherson, who failed to get
the position Of warden Of the United
States penitentiary, and later on was
disappointed IN not securing the ap-
pOintment OF railroad commissioner.

be Of more service to Mr.. Bailey and
the other political schsmeBs OF Leland.
There is nothing in all this new, OF
strange, OF unexpected. This gang
has gone right along for years utterly
disregsrding every decent considera-
ton for the rights Of the people. laugh
ing at every protest and treating oppo-
sition with contempt. Every utterance
against the rule OF the boss, or dishOn-
est political trickery by which men are
forced upon the party as apPOintees or
nominees, has been met with charges
Of dislOyalty to the party, and republi-
cans, rather than be charged with stir
ring up strife within the party, have
kept quiet while the gang has ridden
rough shOd over the party, using it
only for their own selfish purposes.
We have an abiding faith that some day
in Kansas the majority Of the republi-
cans viii grow SO tired Of the peanut
politicians who make up Boss Lelsnd's
gang that they will send it to the rear
among the camp followers, where it
belongs. To-day this gang and its boss
are a greater menace to the success of
the republican party in Kansas than
the combined opposition of democracy
and populism'

Ormously these so years, but the time
for learning them is Just the same.
I'm doubtful whether a pressnt-dsy
young man has any hours to spare for

gin the study OF medicine. Instead Of
spending time on the dead languages
he devoted himself to chemistry, ply
sizes and bacteriology and 1 am bound
to admit that he has laid 4 magnificent
foundation for his future profession.
I regret the neglect Of classics in his
course, because 1 know they give a Ger
tain elegance to ones habit Of thought
that nothing can replace, but it is a
practical question Of time and three into
two won't. It is becoming very ap-
parent to my mind that modern educa-

Statistics show that the medical pro-

any other. During the last three years
the number of suicides occurring am
ong physicians has been respectively
A, 49, and A per annum, an average of
nearly one to 1900, or, as the death
rate among the physicians is about
. to 1000, nearly one fftieth of all the
deaths in the profession have been by
suicide.

He was not the best qualified man for
the place in the county and his reck-

Smith County Journal. One day a poor
unfortunate man was being subjected
to an inquiry into his mental condition
on a charge Of insanity. After the evil
dence was all heard the Judge pro
ceeded with a speech Of about half
hours length which he classified as in

concluded by observing to the jury
that he "did not want anything which
