of the county, was its first County
Clerk, its first delegate 10 a Republi-

man has done more TO aid in the up
building of the material interests of
the county that he. No man has the
interests of the county more at heart
than he. lie is more interested in
light taxes than any other tax payer
of the county, for light taxes is big

o. G.. JACOBS,
in the first district, and
j. y. NELSON,
in the third district are among the
best men of the county. They are
both well known and highly respected
in their respective districts.
The three nominees for Commits.
sioners are all good men; patient.
pains-iaking and honest, and if elected
will so conduct affairs as to reflect
credit upon the county.
There may be found here man and
there a man who, as a Republican,
would have made slight alteration
in the ticket-the many candidates for
the several positions would naturally
develop such such a feeling. but, upon
the whole, the ticket is most excel
lent one and will be iriumphantly
elected by the Republicans Of Sedg-
wick county in November
Our tine and space are too limited
this week to go more fully into the
history and claims of the nominees. or
to give many Of the reasons why we
think the Republican party or Sedg-
wick county will elect the ticket IF
their regularly chosen convention.
The entire proceedings are published
elsewhere. and from week TO week we
SHALL speak of its composition and
claims.

The European Crop.

An analysis of the latest European
crop shows the following facts: That
the population of the six principal
wheat countries of that part of the
globe is about 232, 000,0 00; that their
average requirement of wheat is 8j8,-
100000 bushels. or about thirty-seven
Bushels per capita per annum; that
their average home supply of wheat is
from $4,000, 900 to SIS, 100000 bushels,
and that their combined average deficit
is from nothing to 100000 bushels.
The requirement estimated for the
current year is 48,000,00 to SIS, 000,-
600 bushels: that for the United King
dom of France being placed below
their average requirement on account
of the observed fact that in years of
less than an average yield of wheat,
those countries, particularly France,
consume less wheat than usual. The
crop to meet this requirement is esti-
mated at 79l, 000, eco to S13, goo .0G0 bush
els. leaving deficit to be made good
by importation from America of from
$1,000, 900 to 60,000,000 bushels.

II seem almost incredible. that, in
the face of past disastrous experience,
any person who has property exposed
to destruction by prairie fires. would
neglect to take necessary precau ion
to save it. Yet il is fact that scores
of farmers and others will refuse to
heed the notes of warming continually
sounded in their hearing, until re
flames have devoured their substa &c
and left them homeless and penniicss
upon the bleak prairie. Year after
year we have plead with the people
who have property exposed to use the
simple means at hand to save it. AMI
yet year after we fill our columns with
reports of disastrous fires and immense
losses sustained. Will our warnings
be heard and needed this autumn.
Our readers should remember That
the Sedgwick county fair begins at
Wichita next Tuesday, the 18th inst,
to continue four days. We trust that
Sumner county will be largely repre-
scented by people as wei! as products,
and that our farmers may get away
with all the premiums for big melons
and pumpkins, as easily as they can
with corn, wheat aud beautiful women.
Let every farmer in Sumner county
visit this fair at least one day and con-
tribute something that will add to the
greatest display of farm products ever
made in the State.

In a Nut Shell.

The Cincinnati Gazette puts it thus:
The greenback dollar is worth eighty
five cents in gold. The 5-20 bond is
worth 148 in greeubacks. The interest
bearing bonds are worth more than
the paper currency. Why is this ?
Both are issued by the same govern
ment, aud are based upon the same Sc
curity. 1t is plain enough. The one
is definite promise to pay gold. The
other is an indefinite promise to pay
paper. The rich man holds the bond.
The poor man gets nothing better than
the paper dollar. The Republican par
ty proposes to make the poor mans
dollar as good Us the rich mans bond.

Republican County Convention.

hepuDllcdD county COuVcntlOn.
The delegate convention which met
on Tuesday and put in nomination the
ticket found at our masthead, was the
largest, most intelligent, orderly and
earnest political body that ever assem-
bled in Sedgwick county. As will be
seen by referring to the list of dele
gates found in the proceedings, repre-
sentative men were there from every
township in the county-such men as
have the best interests OF the county nj
heart, men who net only believe in and
live cut Republican principles. but men
who pay taxes and take active parts
in all matters pertaining 10 the mate
rial as well as political welfare al
Sedgwiek county. The proceedings
were not only harmonious but were
marked with 10 extra buncombe. no
threats and 10 unnecessary excitement.
Notwithstanding the contests for two
or three offices were very close, and
the friends of each showed great earn
estness of action and talk, yet when
the final ballot fixed the result there
was 10 boyish cry of "we'll bolt" but
a manly acquiesence. Like many in
dividual Republicans, we might have
voted little differently from the ma
jority of the convention in a couple OF
Instances, yet, like them, we believe
the majority should rule, and we shall
support their whole ticket-nominatcd
so fairly, honorably and squarely as il
was-most heartily.

The Nominees.

The Republican nominees are before
the people. Their names are all
familiar TO the people of Sedgwick
county. They need no introduction
from US, nor do the people need TO be
told that our candidates are good mea
for they already know it.
JOHN KELLEY,
the nominee for Representative is in
the prime of life, ard well fitted by
nature and education TO make first
class, practical legislator.
Having had the experience of two
wears in the Illinois Legislature, he
will go upon the floor Of the House,
not as .'green hand" but as trained
paliamentarian fully equipped for his
duties.
John Kelley is no sunshine man.
but is a thoroughly practical man OF
bushes. Whatever he puts his hand to
forthwith begins TO move and keeps
moving, the same through sunshine
and through storm. He is man
whom the poorest and most obscure
citizen may freely approach and OBJ
tain respectful hearing. Let every
voter of the county who feels pride
in having this county respectfully rep
resented in the legislature vote for
John Kelley.
w. b. WILLIAMS,
the nominee for Sheriff, is one of the
earliest settlers in the county, and
from the first has been identified with
its Interests, taking an active part in
every movement the object of which
has been to advance the general inter
ests of the county.
lie took all active part in develop
ing and supprcssing the notorious
Gland frauds" by which certain job
bers and land pirates sought to pro-
cure all the valuable lands of the
county without complying with the
law. He also took an active part in
organizing the Agricultural Society OF
the county, and was mainly instru-
mental in bringing about the holding
of the first fair under its auspices. He
is q man of warm sympathies, fine So
cisl qualities, good education and
strict integrity, and win make num-
ber-one Sheriff
JOHN TUCKER
has been County Clerk of this county
for the two years last past, and his
books aud official acts speak more in
his praise than three columns of the
EAGLE could possibly say. His record
is without a spot. No person ever
asked John Tucker question pertain
ing to his Office but received civil
reply, and got the required informa-
ton, if the county records contained |
it. lie never was SO overwhelmed |
with business but he could a. once at
tend to and accommodate any one |
who entered his Office on business.
That is enough to be said of any man. |
What we have said of Mr.. Tucker
may also be said of
Milo b. KELLOGG,
our nominee for Register of Deeds.
The "oldest inhabitant" knows lot
when Milo emigrated here, and neither
the oldest inhabitant nor the 'latest
arrival or anyone else ever heard
aught egainst the character or good
name of Milo b. Kellogg.
L. N. WooDcocK,
the nominee for Treasurer, will be
we apprehend, without oppo-
sition. He is one of that kind of men
that, when you go to pay your taxes,
he makes you feel that it's pleasure
10 pay taxes and makes you almost
wish you had more to pay. This is
by the fact that although
he past year has been the hardest

The daily life of the Pope is thus

The daily life of the Pope is thus
sketched by an Italian paper:
His Holiness is stirring by $50 a. M,
and by seven O'Clock he enters the pri-
vate chapel. where he celebrates one
mass and hears another. After chapel
he has his early breakfast. by nine
o'clock the Pope is always TO be found
sitting in his armchair under his canopy
before large writing table on which
stand q erucifix and an Immaculate
conception, besides paper and ink
stand. Then comes Cardinal Anto-
nelli, who communicates dispatches,
receives instructions, collects the
pious oblations of the preceding day,
and withdraws in half an hour, with
his hands full of gold and bank notes.
Then arrives the post with letters and
papers. A prelate on service opens
aud reads the letters; some journals
the Pope chances over himself with his
eye-giass. The audiences follow, but
last until noon only. The Pope takes
a little exercise in the long, shady
galleries until dinner time. The Pom
tifical dinner hour is two clock, after
which he retires for the afternoon
siesta of two hours.
