POStOffiCe Pie PantTies.

The democratic congressman from
Missouri are in trouble up to their eyes
over postofice appointments. They
are to be sole distributors Of post
office pie" in their respective districts.
Candidates cannot go over their heads
to the democratic senators, the post
master-general or the president. The
congressman has the only key to the
pie pantry for his district. He slices
the pie and hands it out to whom he
will. In several districts the miner
GUS candidates for postoffice appoint
ments have become so noisy that the
congressman have travelled home from
the capital to paciiy thcm. The hun
ger among democrats for postofFice
appointments is greater than at the
beginning Of the Cleveland admin
istration.

Give the Governor Credit.

Notwithstanding the narrow partisan
spirit that has characterized the official
record Of Elliott w. Major as attorney
general and as governor he is entitled
to credit for a broad minded policy in
selecting the five members Of the pub
lie utilities commission. He has made
the commission non'paItisan and has
shown good judgment in the selection
OF commissioners. Such a board,
clothed with extraordinary powers,
would be dangerous if partisan. The
commissioners have more authority
over the property and service Of public
utility corporations than the governor
and have larger salary. They must
be conservative, careful and wise else
they may do injustice 10 railroads,
telephone, telegraph, light and other
public utilities, impairing capital and
hindering development; while on the
other hand they could do great injustice
to the people by failing to regulate
public utilities.
Governor Major manifested sound
political discretion in placing two re-
publicans on the commission, and he
displayed good judgment in their selec'
ton. Former Supreme Judge John
Kennish, one Of the republicans ap'
pointed, is regarded as one Of the best
lawyers and purest men in the state
Frank A. Wighlman, the other repub
| lican member, is a man OF high char

Where Our Statesmen Stand.

Where Missouri Stands" is the
caption Of an editorial in the St. Louis
Republic Of April Is, commenting on
the attitude Of fourteen democratic
congressman and two senators from this
state toward the tariff propositions pre-
sented by President Wilson. The Re-
public does not mention the fact tnat

industries OF Missouri, against the ex-
tensive glass manufacturing interests,
against the sheep industry, against the
cattle and hogs Of the farmers, against
number Of h0urishing industries
through which the wealth and popula-
ton OF the state have greatly increased.
No man who knows the record OF the
democratic congressman and senators
from Missouri for forty years past need
be told that they have never stood for
anY measure or policy that would ma
terially benefit the state. On the con.
trary they have always stood with the
democrats in congress against measures
enacted by republicans, that have
vastly benefited Missouri. II they

important. Such discing will make the
plowing at least a half horse easier and
will provide for much more rapid decay
Of the stubble. Many men are coming
to believe that the same can be said
Of sod land. Naturally much depends
upon the season as TO the best time
for doing this. Fall discing or early
winter discing on stalk land is usually
preferable. Spring discing, however,
is much more common and is prefer
able on stubble land.
With the present late spring, many
men who have not already disced their
corn land will fail to do it. OF course,
no absolute rule can be laid down re-
garding this, but if dry weather should
follow the present wet period, the man
who takes time to disc his corn land
before plowing will surely be a gamer,
as the soil will be prevented from be-
coming so compact and hard and will
work up into much better seed bed
and the moisture conserved by such
preparation may be needed before
corn is mature, J. c. Hackleman.

countries is much cheaper than in this
county because foreign labor and for

The Market Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 2l.--
After Wednesday last week there was
a better demand for all kinds OF killing
cattle, and the week closed steady to
IS lower on them. Light fed steers
were in strongest request, heavy steers
being avoided somewhat because Of
high cost, and butcher grades suffering
a slight indisposition the last days oil
the week. Stock cattle and feeders
ruled steady during the week, though
trade was slow at the close. The run
here to-day is 1000 cattle, and the
MARKETS steady to 10 higher. Butcher
grades are strongest to-day, fully re-
covering their slight loss Of last week,
and fed steers are steady to strong.
Heavy steers brought $8.70 to-day,
yearlings quotable up to S8.85, heilers
$3.50 for tops. A drove Of fancy
stockers brought $3.50 last week and
feeders up to S8.35. To-day a string
of 10 carloads OF desirable stock steers,
weighing around 700 pounds, but so
thin they could have weighed 500
pounds and still have been stockers,
sold at SITS, considered cheap for
anyone looking for frame rather than
flesh. Cattle direct from the west are
scarce to-day, but on the basis Of last
weeks sales steers are worth $50 to
$3.50. Quarantine receipts to-day Is
cars, largely steers at $I25 to S8.15,
some bulls S6.15, others $6.75.
While the general market horizon does
not look beefy, there are about 100, 900
big cattle at distilIeries in Illinois, In
diana and Kentucky ready for the
shambles, and which will probably run
10 the next 80 or 90 days. These,
however, will be marketed at Chicago
and farther east and will thus have
minimum effect on Kansas City prices.
After the bad break first Of last week
hogs made some gains, but the situa-
ton is still weak. Receipts to-day are
above expectations at Chicago, and
fairly liberal here for Monday, and
prices are steady to lower. Top TO-
day is S8.95, bulk $8.70 to $500.
Eastern demand for light hogs is not
quite as strong as heretofore, and all
weights are selling closer together.
Regardless Of present conditions, mar
ket seers predict higher prices in June
than the present range. Sheep and
lambs declined Is to so cents last
week, without any visible reason, and
pessimsm ruled at the end OF the week.
The customary surprise came to-day
with a moderate run, O,OO0 head, and
prices strong to 10 higher, lambs at
$3.50 to $500, yearlings worth S7.5C,
wethers S6.75, ewes $6.4O. Texas
goats sold at $3.50 to-day, and 1903
pound clipped Texas wethers S6.l5.
