't he indictment epidemic has reached Kansas and Senator Burton ] - I ) , ton will bc asked to explain < certain - tain things to a grand jury. I Judging from thc present oilt- j look those who go to St. Louis lo see the democratic national convention will have more fun I than those who g'o to see the ex- I position. - - It is not often that a government - mcnt employc is found who is really entit ticd to more salary than he is drawing , for thc government is generally very liberal in thc compensation of its servants. . . But .r' ' - F , I we do not believe that thc pa < lf' received by thc rural 'mail carriers - t ricrs iH sufficient . We believe . . ; that the very nature ' of their work \ ' entitles them to a greater compensation - e pensation than they ) now receive. Any action on thc part of those in authority tending to increase the pay of thc rural carrier . will I " prove popular and an increase . . I means an improvement in the 1 . set'\'lCC. - - o u uo _ _ _ _ HAN NA. By something akin to that phychic phenomenon known as auto-sug'gcstion , the democratic editors of this country have c\'i- . dently made themselves believe I that 1vlark Hanna is really going , to .bc a candidate for thc prcsi- dcncy. How often in thc politi- cal history of this country .have these democratic editors selected a republican candidate and had him all groomed and ready for I the rac , only to find that the duly - constituted republican national ; ; _ - convention had different ideas on the subject If Mr. Hanna's personal - sonal sense of the eternal fitness of things will not permit him to hc a presidential candidate , it iH not likely that the united efforts of all the democratic editors in . the country can so persuade him. The [ fact is that Billy Hearst is more likcl'y to be thc democratic . . . candidate than that Mark Hanna , is to head the republican ticket. f But while the democratic editors are so amusing themselves , they are doing nobody any harm , and thc great republican party is go- ing right ahead with its arrangements - mcnts to rcnomjnate and trium- phantly re-clcct Theodore Hoose- \'clt. . . . , STOCK POWDERS : At a recent meeting of the . state s\vi11o breeders association , .Prof. Samuel Avery , experiment sta- tion chemist , read a notable pa- pcr. This paper dealt with the subject of stock powders and con- taincd some very pertinent rc- marks. According to Prof. Avery who ought to know , thc composition - tion of these preparations are very similar. lIe had analyscd twcnty-f1ve different brands and found that their principal ingre- dicnts were corn meal , linncal , flax seed meal , bran and" " germ meal and from this hc draws the logical conclusion that if corn meal iH worth one cent a pound it is unprofitable to buy it in thc form of stock powder at sixteen cents a round : lIe further ' says ' 'fh'crc is not a particle of evidence - dcnce , to thc best of my know- ledge from any carefully con- trolled experiments . showing that these foods have been used to thc advantage of the purchascr. In conclusion I would say that I expect to bc denounced for ex- posing graft on the farmers , but 1 am willing to say without fear of succcssful contradiction , that if my words have persuaded any one present not to buy a twenty- five cent package of any stock food I have saved him at least twenty-onc ccnts. " 'l'hc exposures made by so eminent - nent an authority as Prof. Avery are worthy of serious consideration - tion and should serve to put thc stock breeder on his guard. ' Doubtless the breeders have been ] made thc victims of a stupendous graft worked by unscrupulous manufacturcrs of so called stock powders. It might bc well for the breeder to insist that , the agent , or manufacturer produce a - certificate from thc chcmbt } of the state experiment station showing that the powder is what it is represented to bc and that it will do the worl ( claimen for it : , , , . - , - T : : - MANJS INHUIAN1TY. n. C. Davis , editor of the Falls City News failed to land the con- tract for the county printing , although - though from thc standpoint of services rcmlcrcd to his party , he was entitled to it. Taking this fad as a text J. Lee Dalbcy , a democrat of the old school and the editor of the Shubert Citizen preaches a little scrmon on mans inhumanity to man sIn thc course of his 'rcmarks on Nir. Davis' party loyalty , Dr. Dalbey says : "He stood up and was counted as one of Judge Kelligar's most ardent supporters , and because of their belief in his statement that Kellig-ar was not only a democrat but an honorable man who would not enter into an unholy alliance with any man in a campaign of slander , of even give such a cam- paig-n his sanction , that many Rcavis dcmocrats , and anti-Reavis republicans voted for him \ \vith thc hope that hc would at least make an effort to 'Keep thc Judiciary - diciary Pure , " only to find that his election was made possible hy treachery to the party , and the rewarding of John 1..Iartin . for his campaign of slander , by which he was elected , by appointing him court reporter , over the heads of several loyal democrats fully itS competent to fill the po- sition as he. " Ye , . Bro. Davis has a right to roar and roar loud and long. But what good will it do him now ? The leaders of that IVlartin-Kel- ligar combine arc in the saddle and will never get out as long as there is a loop hole to cling to , or cash in the treasury from which to draw salary , and the only thing that Bro. Das and all other honest people carr . do for thc present is to grin and bear it. " . . " - , - - - - - - - - . WHITE NEGROES. It is claimed that radium , the newly discovered metal can be used to change thc color of the ncgro's skip and to brake him a White man as far as appearances are conccrned. This is probably one of the "irridesccnt dreams" of science but it must-be admitted that the same is highly impOltant' if truc. 'fake a negro infant and make his skin 'whit and when he grew to manhood he might cause all kinds of trouble , that is if he chose to conceal his true race , which he wuuld probably elcct-to do It would be impossible , un- dcr such circumstances to pre- vent thc intermarrying of the races and the-sociological 1 distur- bances that Wonld be sure to fol- low. _ The southern mob would have all kind of trouble determining - ing whether a prisoner was of negro descent and as such\vorthy of death at the s'take. Thc 1108- sibility of white negroes forecasts a great increase in , the sire : and weight of the white man's bnr- den. . . . . L-- _ _ MR9 SENATORS. The scheme to nominate candi- dates { for the United Slates senate , at the state convention and thus bind thc legislature to do thc peoples - ples will , has much to commcnd it . as far as the intention is con- cerncd , but the questiOli' is , will it do the work ? The idea of electing United < l States senators by direct vote of the people , has become very pop- ular of late years , but this being obviously impossible thc pledging of the legislature that makes the senators is regarded by many as the next best fhing- Long and expensive - pensive legislative deadlocks brought about in som" ' instances , at least by questionable methods i and undue influence ; has brougt ! .
