A Monument to Cornelia Chisolm.

a cores ondent of the New York
Tribune approves of the idea of build
ing monument to the heroic Cornelia
Chisolm, put thinks the young men Of
the country ought to build it as a trib-
ute to the womanhood of Miss CHS
dim. 1t is reported that Judge CHS
dim said on his death-bed to his wife !:
81 am innocent of any crime, and when
am dead want You to tell my chill
dren so, and train them up to know
that their father never did an act for
which they need to blush or feel
ashamed. / have been murdered be-

10 which The Wichita EAGLE re
Failed to Make the Connection.

The party split to be first made
manifest in the Iowa Republican con-
ventiop, about which the Democrats
have been telling US so long, and of
which timid Republicans have been
ali dread, failed to take place. The
Iowa State convention was held last
week and there was no row whatever.
There was the utmost harmony. So
it will be all around.

Gone Back on Tiiden.

The New Orleans Times is the re-
verse of complimentary TO the gentle
man it labored Intellectually to elect to
the Presidency. 1t now says: "Mr.
Tilden is cold, colorless, and unlova-
bic person, without single one of.the
attributes that go to make up popu-
lar leader, or rotain.devotion he is no
longer able to buy. No human being
to-day recognizes his claim upon the
people of the Democratic party in 1880,
nor can any one be brought to do so
by his mclodrama. lie is not hero
only failure.

Missouri Wheat.

The wheat harvest is about finished
in Southern Missouri, and the St.
Louis papers say the cropis one of the
best ever gathered. On the river, be-
tween St. Louis and Cairo, the Repab-
lean says, there is more wheat than
was ever seen there before, and all of
i; is said to be of good quality.

A California Wind Storm,

Yesterday was q remarkable day.
From early in the morning until ten
O'Clock at night y hot sirocco-like
wind blew like hurricane from the
northwest, licking up every particle
OF accessible moisture from the earth,
while the thermometer reached ninety
degrees in the shade. Its effects were
very prostrating, as it seemed to dry
up all the juices of the body, leaving
one feeling like an animated Egyptian
mummy. 1t was very damaging to
the wheat fields, as it shelled out the
grain and scattered it over the ground.
One fyrmer, who came Ill from the
southeastern part of the county, esti-
mated that at least one hundred and
fifty pounds of wheat to the acre had
been beaten out and was lying on the
ground, and thought that at least ff-
teen thousand bushels had been scat
tered on the farms along the line of
Sonora road. 1t was such a wind as
had not been experienced here for
(Cdl.) Independent.

TIE ATCHIS0N, TOPEKA 4 SANTA FE
RAILROAD.
Its Proposed Extension to the Pacific Ocean.

Its Proposed Extension to the Pacific Ocean.
We have information to the effect
that junction between the. new
Southern California railroad and the
AtcblSon, Topeka ~ santa Fo raiIread
is in contemplation, and will be made
as soon as it becomes evident that a
Southern Pacific road cannot be con-
structed at the expense of the Gov
eminent. The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad is private property
and was constructed by Massachusetts
capital as business investment. 1t
runs from Atchison in southwesterly
direction, through the Arkansas Val
ley TO Pueblo, Colorado, and thence
south to Trinidad. But the design of
the company is to cross the mountains
in pass near Fort Garland, and thence
proceed almost due south to Santa Fe
i'll New Mexico; the company have
the money to carry out their design.
There will remain only the gap be-
tween Tucson, the proposed terminus
i'll Arizona of the Southern California
road, and Santa Fe, the terminus of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road, to fill up. This is distance of
about $50 miles, aud two rich corpo-
rations that have already built several
thousand miles of railroad, will not
find it difficult TO arrange for filling up
so short gap, which will give them
a new and independent route to the
Pacific.-C Chicago Tribune.

The Indian Outbreak.

General Sherman is Ell route to the
Indian country. At the Indian Blu
rean the outlook there is by no means
cheering. If a Catholic clergyman,
who has lived among the insurgent
savages, is not misinformed, the Gov
ernmtnt will have to encounter for
midable force, numbering upwards OF
5000 braves. One of the worst fea-
lures about the whole affair is, that if
it had not been for the mismanage-
ment at the agencies, hostilities would
not have taken place.

General Garfield, i'll his article en-
titled "a Century of the American
published in the -itlGRtic for July,
makes two statements which widely
differ with the popular impression.
First, he asserts that the moral char

that the percentage of college gradu-
ates in Congress is less at the present

Minneapolis, Minnesota, handled s.
1000 bushels of wheat the past year,
but sent abroad only $4,000 bushels of
the grain. The rest of it went down
to the sea coast in the form of barrels
of -four, and Minneapolis was accord
ingly $3,000,000 the richer for having
manufactured her raw material in
stead of having exported it direct.

From the Kansas City Journal of Commerce.
American Desert and Drouthy Kansas.


People brag about great many
things, but when they are like the
Kansas people, they have a right TO
boast. Just think of the millions of
the worlds poor reading the follow
ing from Kansas newspapers:
''The Kansas Valley, from Abilene TO Kan
sas City, 4 distance of about 100 miles, is one
great mass OF wheat and-corn fields We
doubt if its equal can be found in the Union.
Laurence journal
To which the Wichita EAGLE re-
spends after the following manner:
arhe distance from Hutchinson TO Arkan-
sas City. in the Arkansas Valley, is about Ill
uaies. Now, we can name a single county Of
our valley that will beat any single county OF
your valley, or we will wager 500 against
another agricultural speech from 4. ID.
Thatcher, the Journals editor, that our Ill
miles viii return larger grain yield than his
160 miles. In wheat alone the counties en-
braced In our distance will not TALL short of
3,s00.00o bushels"
Wichita is ''thar," as the Missourian
would say-but the beauty OF it all is,
both parties are just about as near
right as they can get. They are fair
samples of ''the great American des-
ert," and "drouthy Kansas"
TO this the Lawrence Journal says ::
"You may possibly excel us on wheat,
but in corn we shall beat you out of
sight"

What Generally.

The June report of the Department
of Agriculture is very favorable as re-
CARDS the wheat crop, indicating that
it will be fully up to the average.
Kansas is reported ninety-nine, that
is, one per cent. below the average.

Agriculture in Kansas.

The present population of Kansas is
over half million. The total grain
crop of this year is expected to amount
to 120,000,000 bushels, of which about
$4,000, 900 will be corn, nearly 10000, 900
wheat, and the remainder oats, barley,
rye and other small grains. The value
of the agricultural products in 1875
was over S49,000,000; this year it is es-
timated at $50, 100000. Farming is
carried on OH large scale in Kansas.
Mr.. Henry, of Dickinson county, owns
one tract of 10000 acres. He has one
wheat field four miles III length, the
proceeds of the standing crop of which
will not be less than $4,000 There
are millions of acres of splendid farm
ing lands in Kansas which still remain
an army surgeon, pronounces ''the
most perfect in the world" and coal
i'll such abundance that the State Ge-
ologist estimates the bituminous beds
which underlie the eastern portion of
the State at 10000 square miles, each
mile being capable of yielding 100000
tons of coal. There is timber on all
the streams in addition to the planted
trees, millions of fruit and ornamental
shade trees, and pure spring water ev-
crywhere at depth OF from ten to fif-
ty feet. One crop in Kansas will ena-
BILE the farmer to pay for his land and
and at present prices
he would have d handsome surplus.
The soil in the Golden Belt is rich,
deep alluvial mold, strongly impreg-
mated with lime, an important constit-
uent of wheat. The profits on farm
ing in Kansas are very great.-Ph,la-

ALTON, June Is. lsI

ALTON, June %, 1877.
EDITOR EAGLE In reply to the
questions asked you June 9TH you
fail to answer the question, "by what
authority did the County Commits
sioners buy the building of the First
National Bank for the use of the
county ?" l did not question but
that the county was in need of Just a
building. do not doubt but what
the building is worth all, and perhaps
more than the Commissioners paid
for it, but do doubt the right of the
Commissioners to purchase it without
submitting the question to the county.
If they had right to purchase that
building why had they not the right
to buy the bridge without calling an
election | tell you, Mr.. EAGLE, and
friend Murdoch, the precedent is a
bad one, and if it is permitted the
next thing we shall know the County
Commissioners viii build $4,000 or
a 100000 court house. | think, and
The people generally think, the present
Board have gone long stride beyond
what they had any right. | believe
that i'll new and young county like
ours, and the settlers as poor as we
in this county, we have right, and
ought to watch the doings of all its
officers and not allow them, in ex-
penses, to go beyond what the law al
lows them.
Fable: | once knew firm by the
name of II. bridge g. Son. They
lived in New Haven, Connecticut.
They were the owners of several YES
sells and did a large shipping business.
They sent out one of their vessels Civ
ing the captain orders to so to cer-
tain port, sell the cargo and buy an
other, and return home. The captain
spoke an incoming vessel, the captain
of which told the captain of the out
going vessel if he would go to another
certain port his cargo would sell for
much more than it would at the port
to which he was going. So he changed
his course and went to the other port,
sold his cargo for several thousand
dollars more than it would have
brought i'll the other market, bought
q cargo at very low figures, and. re-
turned home. He went to Mr.. Trow-
bridge and exultingly made his re-
port Of what thousands he had made
for the owners. Mr.. T. heard him
through and then said, ~ owe you so
much for your services, .and there is
the mouey. do not want you any
longer" "Why, Mr.. T., why do you
not want mo any longer, haven't l
made a large amount of. money for
you 2" eyes, you have; but you dis
obeyed my orders. want men who
will obey my orders if it breaks the
owners
Mr.. EAGLE, l will leave it to you to
point the moral.
Tell friend J. X. not to feel bad. |
did not mean 10 tread hard on his
toes. And also tell him that there are
hundreds of men in the county who
have given as much time and spent as
much money as he has who have not
