A Blast From Union.


MR.. EDITOR. According to APP
pointment the representatives of the
celebrated refor,u party held q meet
ing at our school house, (Advance),
for the purpose OF sowing the seed of
distrust in the minds of our voters
against the old and tried (but not
found wanting) republican party. 1t
was really amusing to hear these re-
formers, who have great deal more
tongue than brains and more whiskey
than either, speak ; not that they have
anything very amusing TO say, but the
audacious cheek that these political
sOre-heads have, is what gets me. A
grunt and splutter against the repu Bill
can party, for they can't say anything
very defamatory, was all it amounted
TO. Taking the worst men that the
republican party ever nominated and
showing their short comings to the
public eyes, as it were. through mi
croscope, is their forte.
The first called to the floor, was NJ.
A. Ralph. candidate for the Office of
clerk of the district court. Mr. Ralph
spoke but short time, aud his was
the only talk that was worth listening
to. We believe Mr.. Ralph to be fine
man and about the only one that is
worth the powder it would take to
blow them up, and if he was only on
the other ticket we would vote for
him,-but he Amt.
The next Oh the programme was DIR.
Furley, who sickened his patients for
n fright smart little Bit He had
good deal of medicine to administer in
the shape of words, but rs they were
bitter pills against the republican par
ty, we did not swallow them. Ii he
had offered US little of that on. of
that bottle under the cushion of his
buggy seat, that he aud English road
upon, we might have swallowed that
with a better face. But there was not
much to offer, only about a gill, and
that was found and drank up by a
Young cuss that hadn't reformd yet.
Next on docket, was G.. ii. English.
for the office of county at
,orney, whose eyes sparkled with the
ire of-not that bottle-oh no-some-
hing else. He made very good
speech. There was only one thing |
acking, that was sense, but then that
lidn't matter as long as he was run
ling down the republican party.
Last but not least was Judge STAFF |
ord, candidate for probate judge,
Who made good many excuses,-said
hat his office didn't need good |
peaker. Good thing it didn't, for he
wouldn't have been nowhere.
But | believe that is all have to say.
don't remember much that they said.
t was all like Jack Goodin's broth,
salt, sour and sutty, full of hair and
funk bit" Huarah for the republic

tions he has made friends wherever he

several thousand majority.

For the EAGLE.
The Eclipse.

EDITOR EAGLE: As we have just
had total eclipse of the moon, which
was witnessed by good many per-
sons, n few facts in regard to lunar
eclipses may not be without interest
to your many readers. Lunar eclipses
occur only when the moon is full, for
that is the only time that the earth is
between the sun aud moon. OF course
it is generally understood that lunar
eclipses are caused by the moon enter
ing the earth's shadow, but it is not so
generally known why we do not Dove
lunar eclipse every full moon. We
can imagine the earth's shadow to be
very large cone $4,000 miles long
with its base, having diameter 81
nearly 5000 miles, resting upon the
dark side of the globe. AS the aver
age distance of the moon from the
earth is less than 10000 miles, the
moon, when full, would necessarily
pass through the earth's shadow a.
be eclipsed, if the plane of the mooi,
orbit was in the plane of the earth
orbit but the moons orbit makes a,
angle of over five degrees with Il
plane of the earth's orbit. One-h:.
of the moons orbit is consequently
above or north, and the other half is
below or south of the plane OF the
earth's orbit The full moon, when IN
that part Of its orbit which is north /.
would pass above the earth's shadow
and, when the part which is sou
would pass below the earth's shade y.
When the fall moon is at or within (
twelve degrees Of either of the two
points in its orbit. which itersect the
plane of the earih's orbit, and which
are called nodes, it must pass through
the earih'- shadow. and there will lee
a total or partial eclipse. The moon.
in passing from the southern to the
northern part of its orbit, Is in its az
sending node, and, when passing frofn

The Platforms.

Ordinarily parties are held and adj
Judged by their platform or declara-
ton of principles. The mongrel plat
for of Scdgwick county was drafted by
dyed in the wool democrat and con-
tains but one single idea, but one soli-
tary sentiment: denuciation of the
republican party by hard names. Ere

other hand the republican platform is
an embodiment of living principles

While these reformers are going
around Sedgwick county bowling
about the proiligacy and corruption OF
the republican party of Kansas they
always forget to tell the people that
not one dollar has ever been lost to
the state by any republican state of
fetal. and that the only attempted
swindles upon the treasury was by
men who to-day are bowling reform.
Ex-Gov. Robinson, of Lawrence. who
was presented for impeachment on
the grounds of bond swindle in our
early history is now running on the re-
form ticket for the state senate.

The Reform Convention.

With the bold faced trickery that
characterized the making up and run,
ming of the mixed convention. the
manner the delegates were picked up
upon the streets to represent several
townships, together with the fact that
many townships were not represented
at all, we cannot see how the honest
democrats Of Sedgwick county can
vote for its nominees Ii is an undis-
puted fact that many of the townships
in the county never held primary
election for nor sent delegate to that
reform convention, while Wichita had
sixteen delegates upon the floor and
the state of Illinois four votes. If
that convention was specimen of
legitimate reform we want but little,
for little would 90 great way.

A Comparison.

In all the canvass made by the re-
publican nominees of this county no
hard names have been used, no private
characters assailed, but upon the other
hand the personal character of every
nominee of the mongrcl convention
has been lauded, even to that of Sand
Hill Davis. Upon the other hand.
some of the stumpers on the other
side have denounced. abused and Will
fled the republican nominees for every
thing they could lay their to1gues to.
A desperate cause makes desperate
men. The people have heard both
sides and will Judge.

young sets like gall upon their bilious
stomachs, and to beat him and keep

green spleen they go about making

ty. Great heavens. If the game was

Another One Spotted.

The opposition having failed by
their personal abuse and vile SANDER
to weaken Stanley's strength, but who
by their persistent lying will compel
many decent men of the opposition to
vote for him, are abandoning their
former line of policy and say he is a
railroad man. Throughout the can
vass every speech made by Stanley has
had the right ring on this question.
Stanley never had ANY connection with
railroads in any capacity, and while
county attorney will accept none.

Education in Russia.

The correspondent of the Eastern
Budget at st. Petersburg, writing on
the Sd inst, says: "The reports OF
the educational results of the past
year in Russia, which have just beeR
issued, occupy much attention here.
1t is evident from these reports that
Russia is at least half q century be-
hind the other European nations in
this respect, and the Government is
being urged on all sides to increase
the number of schools and make
them more efficient. The middle
schools, or gymnasia, occupy much
more important position in Russia
than in other countries, as the uni
versities are comparatively but little
used, by the more intelligent classes OF
the country. In the generality OF
cases a boys education is completed
in a gymnasium, and no further in
struction is considered necessary to
prepare him for the civil service or
any other ordinary career; 1t Is very
seldom that young men, even OF the
wealthier classes, go to the universi-
ties to acquire proficiency in the
higher branches of science. Now the
POANo a.
many of the gymnasia the system OF
instruction Is very defective, barely q
fifth or sixth of the pupils having OBJ
tanned certificates from the Govern
ment examiners, while in other gym
nasia eighteen out of every twenty
pupils have obtained certificates.
This is probably owing in part to the
rigid uniformity which, in this as in
other departments, is extended to all
the various races and nationalities
which make up the Russian Empire.
