the present Earl. All the American Shermans-

of fearful Thomas, of Brooklyn, who spelled
their name Sherman, no doubt to spite the Puri-

The Commonwealth and the Herd Law.

The Topeka Commonwealth is advo-
eating the adoption of the herd law in
Shawnee, one of the oldest counties in
the State. Ii is wise. As resident
of the central portion of the State for
years we wondered why the rich, cheap
and desirably located lands of Shaw
nee, Usage, Lyon and surrounding
counties, were not put under cultiva-
ton. After a long while we arrived
at the conclusion that the failure was
owing to the great expense attend
ing the opening up or fencing the
ground. Ii cost three times the price
of the land to fence it, Following oar
conclusions we helped, as member of
the Senate, 10 mature a general herd
law. But our own county of Usage
would not listen for a moment to it's
adoption. Men who had invested half
what they were worth in fences were
not going TO throw them away. We
couldn't bring our county TO nerd
law SO brought ourselves to herd law
county.
We venture the prediction that with
in from five to ten years the counties
of Cowley, Butler, Sumner and Sedg-
wick will have more taxable property
each than the old settled central coun-
ties of the State, unless said counties
adopt the herd law and that right
speedily.

The Postal Question.

In quite a lengthy article the Law
renee STANDARD takes the ground that
all mail matter should go free and that
the expense should be met by the gen.
eral government. The editor says:
ave see no better reasons for seek
ing to make the Post Office Depart
ment self-supporting than the Navy
Department. the War Department or
any other of the executive depart
ments. They are supported by gen.
eral tax upon all the people, imposed
in various ways, and yet few get the
direct benefit of them.
''In our judgment, there is just as
much propriety in requiring the mer-
chant to pay The expense of sending a
war vessel to protect foreign COM
mercial venture, as in requiring every
person who writes letter to pay the
expense of its transmission. The same
reasoning will apply to the protection
of any given locality by the War De-
partment, and the adjudication of
every case at law by the Judicial De-
partment.
1--WE believe in absolutely free post
age within given limits, and it is for
that reason that we always opposed
the abrogation and now support the
re-establishment of the Congressional
franking system. 1t was step in the
direction of free postage to which we
believe the country will yet come, and
then wonder how it could so long have
been humbugged into sustaining the
present policy, as much as it now Won
ders that it should have so long adj
hered to the high postage policy that
prevailed thirty years ago"

What Does it Cost to Raise Corn 2

One or two of the EAGLES cores
pondents year ago came very near
being annihilated because they assert
ed through these columns that corn
could be raised for fifteen cents q
bushel in this valley. The same pro-
position is now being discussed in
some of the other papers of the State.
Mr.. A. ID. Severn, in late number of
the Independence Tribune, gave the
actual cost per acre for raising corn
and cribbing it Except interest on in
vestmenD in this county at $500 per
acre. Mr.. G. w. Burchard, Granger,
who has run farm and hired every
part of the work done by contract,
publishes in The KdaSdn his figures.
He had the crop put in well and Guilt
waited three times. and the corn crib
bed, and the entire cost was but $500
per acre. The average yield in Mont
gomery county is forty-two bushels
per acre, or from l-2 to IL 2-5 cents
per bushel.

A Religious Vow.

We know that Legislatures often at
tempt 10 beat the Almighty, but that
the courts have essayed the same job
is new. The Topeka Times says Mr..
Stephen g. Griffith, of Illinois. made a
vow that if the Almighty would pros
per him in business he would devote
his wealth to religious and charitable
purposes; and when he died having
prospered in business, he bequeathed
$4,000 worth of land to various relig-
ious societies. And now the Supreme
Court of that State has declared the
bequcst void, on the ground that for
eign corporation can't hold real estate
in Illinois. That Mr.. Griffith intended
to leave his property to the Almighty
is plain enough, and that the Almighty,
according to the decision of the court,
is foreign corporation in many parts
of Illinois nobody will pretend to deny.

The Normal School.


The Normal School at Emporia will
send out at the end of the present term
twenty-four graduates and thorough
teachers. Had the regency and the
professors shown less pluck after the
cowardly action of the Legislature
these teachers would have been lost to
the common schools of the State.
The Emporia Ne,os says the Normal
school opened on Wednesday, for the
spring term. with an attendance of
over one hundred students, which it is
thought may increase to one hundred
and twenty-five. This is very crafty
ing to the friends of that excellent in
stitution, as it demonstrates that the
school can be kept in operation until
the Legislature makes suitable provis-
ion for it. When the people back up
their opinions of the usefulness and
necessity of the Normal with their
money it is time for its opponents to
subside. We can congratulate Presi-
dent Pomeroy and his assistants upon
the suspicious opening of the present
term.

Tom Ryan Candidate for Congress.

The indications are that Hon. Thos.
Ryan, of Topeka, will be a candidate
in this district for Congress this fall.
Mr.. Ryan is at present Assistant Uni
ted States Attorney. Intellectually
nor politically few sounder men can be
found in Kansas, and where he is best
known there he is most thoroughly ap-
preciated. In Congress he would not
only sustain himself by pronounced
individuality, but prove successfully
aggressive.
We say this much of superior man,
but without any intention or belief
that the Arkansas Valley will give up
the position at present. Besides. To-
peka can hardly expect Governor and
Congressman both, and John Guthrie
keeps looming up.

For the EAGLE.
Have We a Herd Law?

And now Mr.. Editor if it is not too
far intruding upon your patience you
can oblige me, as well as many other
delinquent subscribers, by giving us a
little light upon our present herd law
in fierce, or i'll other words our present
herd law not in force. In this commu-
nifty we are blessed with one very nice
man who is an ornament to our society.
He owns herd of cattle which he per-
mits to roam at will, destroying crops
and otherwise injuring our premises.
He deposes and says that our herd law
is not applicable to his case. A suit
was brought against him recently, un-
der the herd law, for damages done by
his stock, and am told that the case
was ably prosecuted before court of
justice in Wichita, but owing to some
defect in the law it was decided that
the plaintiff could not recover damage
although the amount of damage was
fully proven. This case has very nat
urally caused an anxiety among the
natives of this part of the county to
know whether VIC can or cannot have
a herd law which will give us some as
urance that we do have rights which
ruffians and outlaws are bound to re-
spect. INVISIBLE.
THE herd law is in full force in Sedg-
wick county and violators of the law
arc amenable and may be punished if
properly proceeded against. l-ED. EA-
