Now, sir, it is practical party question since

people of this country that while we know
what ought to be done, while we make the
wisest declarations of principles yet at the same
time we fail in that cardinal element of par
y,the ability to select the proper agents to car
ry those principles into effect. (Applanse.) If,
therefore, in my judgment the Republicans of
New York shall directly or indirectly declare
that in their judgment while they wished civil

the administration whom they have placed in
power to secure those results, then,slr, 1t seems

other things: 'The narrow gauge people
propose to reach Lebanon (lS5 miles, by a
third rail on the San Francisco railroad;
thence to Beliver go miles by grade already
constructed. In Barton county, Missouri,
and Crawford county, Kansas, it crosses In

Wichita, through the best portion Of the
State. 1t also has lines extending ,northward

commands raised in 1873 G,000, 600 bushels of
wheat, when the entire State OF Kansas grew
l0000, 900 bushels These are facts worth
considering in relation to the new road. Now
that the projectors OF it have rid themselves
of the incumberence of men who allied them
selves with it only for purposes of selt-adver-
tisement, their prospects are much improved"
The st. Louis Trade Journal presents the
same idea. with an additional line or branch
from Eldorado northwest TO Beloit, Mitchell
county, while the st. Louis Times is OF the
opinion that better or more comprehensive
system for obtaining control of the richest
and most fertile portions of Kansas could not
well be devised, but all three papers knock
the wind out of the promising scheme in de-
cldring that all the counties interested wi
vote 81 900 per mile for the entire distance.
The EAGLE has no doubt that several coun-
ties will vote such an amount Of bonds for a
narrow gauge road, but counties that are al
ready trying TO compromise their bonded in
debtedness, as well as the counties between
this point and Trinidad can afford TO DO no
such thing. Anyhow, such an amount ought
to induce the building of standard gauge.

yises the counties to vote their bonds aad put

A Large Wool Shipment

Mr.. Pink Fouts, shipped, on Monday last
fifteen thousand pounds Of wool, making two
full car loads. 1t was the biggest shipment
of wool ever made, probably from Southern
Kansas, certainly the largest ever shipped
frem this portion Of the State. The wool was
first-class, from graded sheep. Such transac-
lions indicate the growing Importance OF
sheep raising in the Arkansas Valley, and
not only that, but evnces success, There is
no doubt that this is one OF the very finest
sheep countries on the continent and that in
few years wool will be one OF the articles OF

The Sunday School Picnic.

The ringing OF the u. L. Church bell Thurs
day morning brought together three hundred
Or more bright. happy children with their
well filed baskets, wild with excitement, in
anticipation of rollicking time in the grove.
Mr.. Hargis, Superintendent, Mr.. Stanley,
teacher Of the infant class, with number OF
teachers and officers were on hand to take
charge of the risky lambs, which they loaded
on wagons prepared for the special purpose
OF carving them to the grove. 1t was really
an interesting sight after the procession was
formed. We did not count II that Stanley
had perched upon one wagon, but should
think not less than seyenty-fve as pretty and
smart children as ever went to picnic. In
due time all hands arrived at the grove, a
nice one, three miles below the town, on
Chisholm creek, when the general fun and
frolic began. The grove was SO nice, cool,
shady and clean that it made one joyous to see
it. Swinging. boating, croquet, copenhagen
and blind mans buff were the chief anuse
ments until dinner was announced. The child
rem were then seated upon the grass in two
groups, Mr.. Stanley's infant class in one and
tit III llt OLutT. 1 n6 TeIEesl-
ments were passed around by the ladies and
friends OF the school. A miracle was per-
formed unlike the one we read Of in the good
good book OF how SO many were fed on so
small an amount and were filled, but how they
managed TO get away with so much hash be-
fore they got full. Finally the task was ac
complished and the fragments were distribut-
ed among the adults, and they, too, after par
taking wiped their chns and seemed satisfied
No pains were spared to make it success, nd
to make the children happy In the afternoon
quite large number fyoung ladies and gen.
tleme visited the grounds and Joined in the
plays and amusements until the lengthenlpg
shadows gave warning that homeward they
must wend their way, which they did, filing
out Of the grove singing "Home Sweet Home"
and each little prattler was returned safely
home without wish but to tell the big folks
what jolly time they had. Upon the whole,
il was a complete success.

A New Kind Of Wheat---The Odessa.

Mr.. c. Pitman, one of our subscribers lIv-
ing in Rockford township, brought us up a
bunch of wheat called the Odessa, which had
its origin on the Black Sea, in Russia, near
the city OF Odessa. A brother-in-law brought
over a salt sack full which, in the third SOW
ing yielded 100 bushels. The popularity OF
the wheat is that it does equally well sown
in the fall or spring. That sown last fall in
Rockford seems to have yielded little better
than that sown this spring. The heads are
very smooth ana beardless and the grain fine.
A specimen of it can be seen at this Office ALSO
at the office ofSteele q Levy. We shall look
forward with considerable degree of inter-
est for results of this new wheat. Mr. Pitman
thinks that ewiDgto the chances OF chinch
bug it would be better to sow in the fall. lie
has four acres which will average about
twenty-five bushels to the acre.

County Attorney SANKEY'S polite cemmu-
nication to the City Council, requesting it TO
abate certain flagaant nuisances and other lif-
tie crookednesses, was politely returned to
aim. We think the city administration made
mistake and had better reconsider. Its
members surely know that under the
statutes OF the State-which are as much
above ordinances as constitution is above
law-gives the County Attorney large pow
ers in nearly every matter from which towns
gain revenue. These things should be regu-
lated to the satisfaction OF the general senti-
ment Of the people by the ordinances OF the
corporation that receives the acr~iing reve-
uues, and not forced upon the uaty. But
there is no two ways about il. HE Council
will have to take the matter IN md, or the
County Attorney will be called upon to do it.

A wheat seller from Sumner county COM
planned to us the other day that a regular sys-
TEN of robbery was being carried on by the
buyers OF this place, and that he could only
get fiity-iye cents offered for his crop. We
did not see the wheat, but venture the opin-
ion that the trouble was with the wheat and
not the buyers. No ring could be successfully
maintained among the buyers at Wichita. for
the simple reason that We baye so many busi-
ness men among our farmers who know what
the market is and who will ship their own
crops before they will allow any advantage
taken OF them. Besides, most of our wheat
growers can hold their wheat whole year, if
they desire. We want no wheat rings in
Wichita. and that's not all, we won't have
