As four-hfths OF the OIL extracted

fore the flower begins TO fade at the
end Of August. The oil Is distilled
by means Of steam, which Is compelled
to penetrate the closely packed Law
ender, afterWard being drawn on in
pipes that run through cold water. In
this manner the steam is reconverted
into water, but the process Of passing
through the lavender has extracted the
oil, which floats on the surface Of the
water as Il runs into glass jars down
below. These Jars have spouts in the
center, thus enabling the water to run
out while the OIL collects above the
level Of the exit In this the first

passing once more through water.
Thus all impurities are removed and
the oil runs out white save for a very
pale blue color similar 70 that OBJ

bottles for expectation or made up
into lavender water for home use.

The inaugural ceremonies yesterday
passed off in a manner BETTING the i'm
portance of the occasion. Everything was
in good taste, the addresses were appro-
pirate, and the while simple,
was impressive. An occasion which men of
a partisan character was made by the
retiring or incoming officers: not a senti-
ment was expressed which all who live in
Indiana and desire good government could
not applaud. This is as ii should be. The
brief address of Lieutenant Governor Gil
bert breathed the same spirit of high pur-
pose as did tha CT the Governor. If both
are observed in legislation. no mistake will
be made.

The gossip to the effect that Repub-
Iicans who supported Mr.. Statesman for
speaker are engaged in a conspiracy with
the Democrats to overthrow the reform
legislation OF the last Legislature will not
be credited In 1895 Mr.. Statesman was one
OF the leaders in carrying important re-
form measures. Because he was not chosen
speaker. neither he nor his friends will
cease TO be Republicans by helping Demo
Gratis. The Republican party is as posi-
lively pledged to the reform laws as il is
TO maintain the gold standard.

Senator Hoar desires to infiict a heavy
penalty upon those who may be found
guilty of holding up and robbing trains, re-
garding it as an interference with inter
state commerce. Mr.. Hoar is an able law
yer. the old man eloquent of the Senate,
but in this matter he stands forth as
the victim of environment-the New Eng
land environment-which regards the hold
ing up of a train as something dreadful
II Senate Hoar were broader he would
regard the holding UP of trains as a legiti-
mate industry of Missouri. Only a few
days aeo a large number of the Democratic
members of the Missouri Legislature ex-
pressed their admiration for thu men en-
gagged in train robbery by giving their
votes for the last representative of The
train robbing James brothers. My. Hoar
should seek TO broaden his news.

been a half dozen murders the incentive TO
which was robbery. If that class of muir
derers had the galIows before their faces
there is reason to believe that the number
Of horrible murders would be fewer. In

Delayed Bills
I sincerely trust that your honorable
bodies will expedite legislation as Indus
triously as Is consistent with safety. /
am informed shat. as a rule. many bills are
held back until the closing days of the ses-
sion. This is manifestly an injudicious and
dangerous practice. II opens the way for
bad measures TO be rushed through the
houses without due consideration. and
leaves the Governor insufficient time to
examine and pass upon them with that
care which duty demands. therefore
earnestly appeal to you TO avoid the evils
due TO an accumulation Of a large number
of bills at the eleventh hour. Many in
stances might be cited of unfortunate re-
suits in the past owing to the delay OF bills
in the Legislature and the consequent rush
OF usine near the close of the session.
