Far Away and Long Ago.

The brewers parade in New York
city in 1888 has never been duplicat-
ed. There were hogsheads entwined
In hop vines and a live Bacchus was
the feature of the marching fete. But
such a procession did once wend its
way through New York streets, in eel
ebratiOn of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian says
in part:
"The display of the brewers was
happily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners fluttering
gayly in the air, they paraded carr
with hogsheads and tuns decorated
with festoons Of hop vines intertwined
with handfuls of barley. Seated on
the top of tun was living Bacchus
"a beautiful boy Of eight years
dressed in flesh-colored silk, fitted
snugly to the limbs, and thus disclos-
ing all his fine symmetrical proper
lions. In his hand he held a silver
goblet, with which he quaffed the nut
brown, and on his head was a garland
Of hops and barley ears"

practice, he says, has been consider
ably checked by military expeditions.
Nevertheless head-hunting is still quite
frequent in the Interior On the ap-
pointed day men, women and children
would hasten to the point of embarka-
tion. AT the approach of their goal
the boats were anchored, and the en-
tire party stealthily entered the forest,
taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de-
s1gnated spot had been reached. On
the day before the attack the hunters
kept hidden in the bush, and during
the night they advanced far enough
to launch the attack early before dawn.
occasionally, the hunters were holly
received, but most Of the time the in
tended victims were reused from their
sleep by the sudden war-cry of the
whole attacking party, and had no
time to defend themselves. Victims
were felled by the dozen, many of
them pierced through by the sharp
pointed arrows.
The victors yelled their war-cry and
repaired to their native haunts, where
days and nights of feasting awaited
them with song and dance, around the
gruesOme trophy.

THE CAUSE OF DEATH.

The defeat of Attorney General
Hopkins's anti-profiteering bill by the
senate judiciary committee probably
will meet the approval of the people
Of Kansas with few exceptions. The
reasons for opposition to this sort of
legislation were we'll set forth by the
Empcria Gazette in an editorial ap-
pearing in its columns on February
5. The article follows:
The legislature of Kansas probably
will be asked to go after the profiteers.
Ordinarily that might not be a pad
idea. But just now there are no
profiteers. Every store in Kansas,
most of the banks and all the indus
trial concerns have used red ink in
their bookkeeping to the full limit of
their ability. The slump in prices has
hit every honest trading concern in
Kansas; farmers, stockmen, merchants,
banks, newspapers, railroads, public
utilities-everyone who has been trad
ing with a long dollar suddenly finding
himself with a short dollar, is finding
the devils own trouble in keeping it
from slipping thru his fingers. The
profiteer has had to lose his profits.
And he has had an awful lesson. The
lesson is better than any law
The thing for the Kansas legislature
TO do is to walk as softly as it knows
sible provision for the honest man to
do business. After that, the bad times
will take care of whatever crooks there
may be. But for the moment the
state motto of Kansas should be, don't
rock the boat.
