The Grain lnspectorship Muddle.

IOpeka JOURNAL.
The appointment Of j. G. f. Horne
as deputy state grain inspector at
Wellington has displeased the grain
dealers at that place, and they have
refused TO allow the new inspector to
inspect the grain. Instead, they have
appointed w. F. Thompson, the for
mer inspector, appointed during Gov.
ernor Leedy's term, as private
inspector" and propose to let him do
the work. Thompson was recon.
mended for appointment by the
Wellington grain dealers.
However, the Wellington men will
fiud that they have to allow Mr..
Horne to inspect their grain, and II
Mr.. Thompson attempts TO carry on
the work Of inspection 10 his place be
will be liable for a, misdemeanor.
Section IA Of chapter 1873 Of the ses.
sion laws Of 1897 clearly covers this
point. 1t reads:
"The inspection or grading Of grain
in the state must be performed by
such persOnsas may be duly appointed,
sworn and have given bond under the
act, and any person who shall assume
to act as inspector or weigher Of grain
who has not first been appointed and
qualified in accordance with the pro.
visions Of this act, shall be guilty OF a
misdemean0r, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine of
not less than 800 nor more than $500,
or Imprisonment In the county Jail
for not less than three months nor

The llth Of April ended the wa

The llth of April ended the war
with Spain. The treaty having been
exchanged and peace between the
two nations declared Spain is snick-
ering up one sleeve how nicely she
unloaded the unruly Filipinos on the
unsuspecting Americans while wipinp
tears out Of her eyes with the other
one over the loss of Porto Rico and
Cuba, the latter financial success,
the former moral failure. The wal
began over the freedom of Cuba, bu,
ended with the annexation of Porto
Rico and probably the ann .xatiop
OF Cuba and the Philippine islands
Whether or not history will record
1t as war for humanity or a war fol
conquest remains to be seen. Blu,
one thing We do know has been &C.
complished as a result of the war,
and that is it has wiped out the feel.
ing Of prejudice and passion of the
Civil war. The feeling died avay
when the boy of the North marched
through Chattanooga, the bands
playing "Marching through Georgia"
and before the sounds had died away
struck up the old southern air Of
"Dixie." Woe to the politician who
waves the old bloody shirt, either
North or South, for the young Amer.
leans will not be influenced by such
persuasion.

Editor J. G. Cline of the Ottawa

Editor J. c. Cline of the Ottawa

with his party, as leaders of the Peo.
Piles party have passed resolutions Of
condemnation for selling out to the
Republicans last fall. Here is what
the county central committee says
about him:
j. G. Cline, editar of the Ottawa
County Index, is guilty of gross and
repeated treachery to the Popuist
party, and is unworthy Of the conf.
dence or support of any and all Pop
ulists; and we, hereby acting in our
respective capacities as representa-.
tives of the POpulists of this county,
repudiats the said j. c. Cline as a
Populist editor, and sever all political
relation with him.

Adjutant General Fox of Kansas

Adjutant General Fox of Kansas,
compiled statement showing the
number of deaths in the Kansas
regiment now in the Philippines.
The regiment has lost forty-seven
men including three officers: Capt,
Elliott of COfeville, Capt. Nc.
Alister and Lieut.. Afford. The
greatest number from any one town
is Topeka, which lost five. Averag.
ing the loss equally among the twelve
companies it would lack one Of
being four to each company. The
goth regiment has been in service
now nearly one year and has been in
many engagements, many of them
having been killed or died from
their wounds. The record speaks
very well for the health of the islam ds
as the 9lst Kansas lost twenty-five,
all from disease contracted in four,
months at Chickamaugua and yet
none OF them lost their lives from the
explosion Of Alger's canned beef
cans.

The grain men here say there are
plenty of ways to get around the
above law, and they are still determ
ined not 10 submit to incompetent
inspection. Just what action they
will take cannot be told until they
confer and investigate further. Gov
ernor Stanley commissioned Mr.
Horne as official inspector last night
The grain men say they will freeze
him out.
Wellington is not the only town
that is having row over the appoint.
ment of deputy grain inspector. The
Topeka and Parsons grain men are
up in arms, claiming that the inspec.
tors were appointed through political
influence regardless Of qualifications.
In Topeka the row has reached the
stage where the people are demanding
that the grain men be allowed to say
who shall inspect their grain. The
Wichita grain dealers are also in
revolt.
Should way be discovered to get
around the law requiring official in
spection, the grain men will not have
much difficulty in freezing out Horne.
The fees for official inspection at this
place go long way towards paying
the salaries Of all the grain inspectors
in the state. The deputies are sup
posed to draw SIS per month, but
there are so many of them loaflng
around and depending upon the fees
from a few towns like Wellington,
Cofeyville and Atchison, for their
salaries, that after the money is appor.
