When Judge Gresham stood for the republican nomination far president, he was idolized by vy the republican party and no man stood higher for honesty and firmness and his record as a soldier was eulo ized by every stump orator from Maine to California. TWe'believe our readers will bear evidence to the truth of the asser 4ien that never in the history of the state has more or better work been done for the common schools than in the past three years. Prof. L. E. Wolfe is responsible for the passage vaf the law systematizing and making sguch cheaper school books, a great aaving to our people. He it was who drafted and had passed the present castitute law, which has been en -dorsed by ninetenths of the teachcrs and school workers of the state. Pref. Wolfe is a tireless worker and hie fame as a Commissioner is not confined to his own state as several states have adopted his ideas and aystems, He will be acandidate to ‘to succeed himself as superintendent of Public Instructions for the state, and as it has been a time honored castom to give the incumbert of Lhis office a second term, there is no weason why an exception should be -made in his case. We believe the demecrats of Bates county will send ee aS | A DECIDED SUUCESS. | Some democrats and democratic | papers have shown a too readiness | to agree with those who are wont to | descry all the acts of the democratic | administration,and claim it « failure. | These game parties, if pressed for a | reason for their conderanation, could hardly give a tenable oue. One will say that too many republicans xre kept in office. The records will not bear this out. They show that while little fuss has been made, no admin | istration since the adoption of the civil service law hasever made a bet ter showing by putting more of its lieutenants in control. Another says the administration is responsible for the hard times. This is not true. The republican party is responsible for dissipating the surplus left by a | democratic administration, depleting the treasury and saddling a contin uous debt upon the nation. It was jby the juggling with figures that the Harrison ad ministration managed to keep upa showing until it could get out Still another claims that the demo cratic party has done nothing since it has been in power to relieve the people and redeem its pledges. Lot us see if this is true. The democrat ic platform adopted at Chicago de clared in faver of the repeal of the Sherman law. President Clevelund called a special session of congress aud this law was repealed. The platform declared its unalterable op position to the federal election laws and-these obnoxious and un-Ameri can lawa were wiped from the stat ute books. A tariff bill has passed the house and will, in good time, pass the senate and be sigaed by the president. The demoeratic party is redeeming its pledges as fast as pos sible, consistent with wise and judi- cious legislation, and that man who says the present administration is a failure, be he populist, republican or democrat, is either honestly mistak en or 2 malicious falsifier. The pres- ent administration will live in history as having made the most sweeping changes in the Jaws of the country in the interest ef the poor maa and against the plutocrats ever known in any country in the same length of timo. most persistent The republicans will allow the union laborites to vote for their city tieket. Thatis, we suppose they will. They didn’t act very much like it when they made up the ticket. —_—_—_—— The republicans of Kansas City have nominated Webster Davis for mayor of the city. Ex mayors Kump and Davenport were his opponents for the nomination. Davenport claims fraud in primary and threat ens torun independent. City poti tics are at fever heat in the city. Jas. H. Britton, formerly mayor of St. Louis, was arrested in St. Louis Tuesday, on the charge of em- bezzlement. His son is president of the First National Bank of Ver- non, Texas, aud he too has been ar- rested for accepting his father’s note for $2,412.40 when he knew the former to be insolvent. Just as the McKinleyites were get ing ready to weep and wail over the reduction of wages at the iron works at Trenton, the proprietors arose to remark that the business depression could be traced directy to the Me Kinley Bill. The country could stand almost anything except a Me- Kinley bill. In view of this state ment it is presumed that high tariff debators will pass over the difficulties at Trenton with unspeakable scorn —K. C. Star. Suspension of Pensions. Washington, D.

C, March 12.— Advices received at the state de partment late this afternoon from nister Thompson at Rio de Jan eiro indicates the Brazilian revolu- tion is about ended. The dispatches from Minister Thompson contain the information that Admiral Da Gama has gone aboard the Portugese war vessel Mindelo, now in the harbor at Rio, and has sent to President Peix- oto by the Portugese officer an offer of surrender, on condition of pro tection for himself and followers. When farm products go down be- low a profitable figure, we are told the cause is over production. When manufacturers glut the market with their wares and discharge their work men until “business gets better,” we are told that the cause is the Wilson tariff bill or some such rub- bish. And this is given out in all seriousness and app:rently believed by many people who are perfectly sane upon every question except the tariff.—Lamar Democrat Licensed Sugar Producers. Washington, D C., Mareh 12.— Complying with a resolution, the Secretary of the Treasury to day! seut to the senate a list of licensed producers of sugar from beets, sor ghum and sugar cane in each State and Territory to whom bounty had been paid, and the amount paid to each The statement shows that the payments for the current year up to March 4 have been as follows: Beet sugar, $610,395; sorghum sugar, $16,926; cane sugar, $2.513,- 597; maple sugar, $115,597. Total, $3,257,055. The State of California leads in the production of beet sugar. Ne braska and Utah are also producers of this kind of sugar. Kansas and Minnesota are the only producers of sorghum sugar, and the latter only to a very slight extent. Louisiana receives the bulk of the bounty paid on cane sugar, but Tex- as,Florida and Mississippi also show an interest in the industry. The only individual or company which for the year 1893 received bounty amount- ing to more than '$100,000 on cane sugar are the following: Miles Plant ing and Manufacturing company, $337,806; Leon Godohaux, $300,970; Richard Milliken, $168,518; Caftery | Central Sugar Refinery and Railroad company, $115,327, all of Louisiana. Senator Caffery eays he has no interest in the sugar refinery and railroad company which bears his name; that it was named after him originally because he assisted in get ing it started.
