N'KENzIE'S PLAN

Proposes Uniform System of
Grades For Kansas Wheat.
Would Do Away With Inspection
at Shipping Port.
ADDITIONAL EXPENSE.
Useless FOrmality Adds to the
Cost of Grain.
This Years Wheat Crop is of
Excellent Quality.

The approach of what promises to be
the greatest wheat crop harvested in the
history of the state has caused State
Grain Inspector Mckenzie to work for
the establishment of a new grade for
wheat
Mr.. Mckenzie is now working with
the importers at Galveston and New
Orleans in an effort to have them con-
sent to accept the grades made here
The seaboard dealers have heretofore
declined to accept the grading Of wheat
established by the Kansas inspection
department and all of the wheat shipped
from Kansas for foreign markets has
been subjected to a regarding at the
port of shipment.
This second inspection has made an
additional expense and there has been a
suspicion in the minds of some Of the
shippers that the quality of the wheat
was not questioned but that the inspec-
tion rule has been a ruSe to make wages
for inspectors who otherwise would De
deprived of their means of subsistence
If Mr.. McKenzie's scheme works the
wheat consigned to southern ports for
export will probably go via Kansas city
where the inspection will be first and
final. Incidentally this plan would bene-
fit Kansas City as a shipping point
Several of the importers from the
south have been in conference with Mr.
NICK enzie in Kansas City but no agree
ment has been reached and Mckenzie
is planning a trip to New Orleans for
ers.
The Kansas grain department is now
at Kansas City, inspecting an average
of half dozen cars of new grain daily
the wheat, as Mr.. Mckenzie says:
rs che finest that ever went upon the
/ local markets.

WHEAT BREAKS.
Close Today Was Two Cents
Under Saturdays.

Chicago, June 25.-Under heavy liqui-
dation by holders and let up in the
demand for a time the price of wheat
for delivery in July today broke AZ
cents. July during the first two min
utes of the session changed hands at
prices ranging from S65zc to SS1zc, COM
pared with Saturdays close at S8c For
a time trade was quieter with sales
mostly between 81 and SSc. Shortly be-
fore noon the ceaseless hammering be-
gan to show decided results. The de-
mand for the moment seemed almost
nothing and July rapidly declined to
83%. Part of the loss was regained, the
close being 2 cents under Saturdays
close at &c.,
F1axseed was an attraction with
wheat. While of course the trade was
not nearly as large, the range of prices
was far more wild. October fax which
closed Saturday at $40. advanced to
$175 on reports of heavy damages to the
crop from the hot weather in the north
west. Offerings became numerous and
the market fell faster than it had pre-
viously advanced. October closed at
S1.50.

MIR. Low INTERVIEWED.
"Silent Man of Kansas Talks to Re
porter at Washington.

Mr.. NJ. A. Low. who IS regarded as
the silent man of Kansas in an inter
view in Washington is credited with the
following statement:
THE nomination of Governor Roose-
Welt for second place on the national
ticket will gain 10000 votes for US in
Kansas said NJ. A. Low, of Topeka, at
the Normandie.
THE Kansas regiment in the Philip
pines was the crack regiment of all,
added Mr. Low, "and its members have
come back home and settled down in
various part of the state. These ex-
soldiers not only feel an interest, but
they have a pride in the rough riders,
and their admiration for Governor
Roosevelt is abundant. The influence OF
this will be felt all over the state Gov
ernor Roosevelt is going to Oklahoma
Territory early in July, and we shall
strive to have him make some speeches
in Kansas on the way there.
IF indications are to be trusted, Kan
sas certainly ought to be a Republican
state this fan. The corn crop will total
100, 600 600 bushels, the largest in our his
tory; there is prosperity everywhere,
and the party is united. The only place
where the Republicans have been un-
able to settle their differences is in the
Third congressional district, now repre-
sented by E. r. RiGgely. Popullst-
The Democrats have a candidate there
this year. We hope that the Republl-
can factions will get together in. that
district before long. If they do, there
is a chance of the Republicans making
a clean sweep in Kansas

a broader platform, taking in the tariff,
expansion, money and other planks. For
this reason according to Chairman
Stewart of the national committee and
other Prohibition leaders. he is consid-
cred the most logical candidate for the
presidency. Hale Johnson, of Newton
Ill, and DR.. S. c. Swallow of Pennsyl-
vania, have many friends however, and

nomination is made.

stated will probably bo to an eastern

man is nominated, DR. E. L. Eaton of
Des Moines, or Professor F. T. McWhir-

of for permanent chairman of the con-
Ventlon may be nominated for vice

Kinley in 1896, but he would raise one
twice as large to elect Bryan in 1900.
Carnegie's views on the money question
do not coincide with Mr. Bryan's, but
Carnegie holds this question to be Sec
Ondary to the issue of Imperialism and
believes that with the present tendency
toward a monarchica1 form of govern

militarism and Imperialism.

Whereas. The Mormon leaders have
