The Kinds County Gazette thus ex-
presses lite opinion Of Senator Lamar's
action on the Silver Bill:
"Our views may be peculiar, and i'm.
material, but we are firm in holding
them, and they are, that Mr.. Lamar has
assumed the proper position. We do
not, of course, adopt his views on the
silver question, but with reference TO
the instructions" be is clearly right.
The old Virginia theory was, 'obey or
resign; ) but the greatest Of all Amerl.
can statesmen, Mr.. Clay, established
the other theory, that an American Sem
ator is not the football or the weather
cock Of q Legislature, but the rightful,
and proper, aud constitutional repre-.
sentative Of the State 10 the Senate Of
the Nation. We honor Mr.. Lamar for
bis bold and manly position on this
subject, and when he appeals from the
Legislature to the people, as be will do,
we shall certainly sustain him, al
though We think his position on the
Silver Bill utterly wrong"
We agree with our contemporary that
the fnal decision of a question of this
sort is with the Congressman.
These instructions" are only valuable
as indicating public sentiment.

Tho United States M.rsh.lship for Kansas.

Major Ben Simpson, of Paola, one of
The leading lawyers of the State, has
been appointed United States Mar
shall for Kansas, which most satisfac-
torily settles one vexed political ques-
ton. Major Simpson is known
throughout the State. For twenty
years he has been a prominent figure
in our States political history. From
q personal kno wledge of all the men,
we have no hesitancy in saying that
the affairs of that Office will be in bet
ter hands than ever before. He was
nominated by the President last Fri
day and we sincerely hope he will ac-
cept. Major Simpson has large and
lucrative practice in his profession.
He was member of the Wyandotte
Constitutional Convention in 1859;
was the first Attorney General of the
State; member of the Territorial
House in 1861; Captain and Major in
the sixteenth cavalry during the war;
member of the State Senate III 1867;
delegate to the National Republican
Convention in 1868 and 1872; Speaker
of the House of Representatives in
1871: member of the State Senate IL
1877, and is at present member OF
the State Codifying Commission.

For the EAGLE.
a Word to the Farmers.


BITTER CREEK. Feb. II, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE:-I find there has
been great deal of cheap talk, OF
twaddle on the silver question, and it
is astonishing how much love and
sympathy has been developed, on
both sides of the question, for the
farmers and mechanics. Now | be-
lieve that the farmers can make more
money by attending to business about
home.
| suppose that if should say that
the farmers were fools, they would
get mad forthwith, but at the same
time they will admit they have done a
great many foolish things for the
past year. One of them was by sell
ing wheat in Wichita, instead of ship
ping it. Another was paying such
prices for machinery as they have.
Cooperation would have enabled
farmers to overcome both of these
troubles. The most foolish thing
they are doingssis exchanging wheat
for flour. Now let us figure a little.
Flour is and has been selling for
ong time for two cents and half per
pound. When wheat sells for ninety
,ents cash on the street they will not
1--WE over thirty pounds of flour for a
,ushel Of wheat Wheat worth nine
y cents, flour, seventy-fiye, loss of
fifteen cents per bushel. 4 case last
week: A man hauled wheat TO
Wichita; could get but sixty cents per
ushel; so went to the mill and swan
ed il for -four; got sixteen pounds.
Wheat worth sixty cents, flour, forty,
'ss, twenty cents per bushel. An
Their case: Wheat sold for eighty |
'nts per bushel; only offered twenty {
'ur pounds of -four. Wheat worth
ghty cents, -four sixty cents, TWEEN |
cents difference per bushel.
Wake up, farmers, for when they +
It your hide of they will have no o
rther use for you. Yours.

A Handsome Present.

Speaking of the formal reception, by
the joint convention of the two houses
of Congress, of Carpenters great paint
of signing the Emancipation Proc-
lamation, "-presented to the United
States by Mrs Thompson, of New York
the Chicago Ii16uae's Washington
correspondent says:
There was no special incidents con-
nected with the presentation of the
Carpenter painting. The pageant was
that which accompanies joint conven-
ton. The House received the Senate
standing, The Vice President presi-
ded, ladies occupied the seats of MEM
bers and filled the floor. Gen. Garfield's
speech was studied de!ineation of Lin
coin. Alexander Stephens reply was
noted for his confession that slavery
was weakness, aud for his ayowal of
his constant, conscientious belief in
the Union cause. The most significa mt
feature of the occasion, perhaps, was
the fact that the ex-Vice- Pre- sident of
the Southern Contederacy should be
present to deliver an eulogy on Abra-
ham Lincoln; but Mr. Stephens did
this with great warmth aud energy
and respectfully spoke of Lincoln as his
friend. Mrs. Thompson, the donor,
and Carpenter, the artist, occupied
seats in the area fronting the speakers
desk, pending the ceremonial. 1t is
said to have been the first time in the
history of congress that woman has
been invited by name to a seat upon
the floor. Congress does not look a
gift horse in the mouth, but the paint. !
ing is not highly commended.

The Latest Of the Eastern Troubles


Since the passage of the British fleet
through the Dardauells matters have
assumed many aspects among the diff
ferent powers. For the week past all
Europe has been wild. England has
violated the Paris treaty. The Rus
slams have withdrawn from the Con-
siantinoplc redoubt and are now oc-
cupying armistice grounds.
A Congress, to meet at Baden-Ba-
den, is now proposed, to settle all
matters, but Russia wants the Unite d
States to participate and England is
afraid.
England is also worried over the at .
titude of Germany, and news from
Constantinople says the Cars Gov
eminent can't understand Bismarck 8
late speech.
Russia now has demand against
England for the non-occupancy of
Gallipoli which may work trouble.
Altogether the trouble is no nearer
settlement than week ago.

A Short Reply to hon. s. n. Woods Article of
January 10Th.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, Feb. 16, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE In referring to thu
trade dollar Mr.. Wood says:
In fact, since the act of July %
1876, it is not money at all, ana the
small coins, with less silver, are
money, and are worth more to-day in
the money world. And why? Be-
cause the sovereign power makes it
money"
think Mr.. Wood is mistaken in re-
gard to our small coin being worth as
much in the money world as he trade
dollar. In speaking of the money
world he must take in, of course, for
eign nations. Now, if ! understand
the matter right, foreign powers do
not recognize our coin by lis legal
value at home, but, in many places.
simply by its weight as bullion. If
this BIZ true, then the trade dollar, of
APO grains, in the money world, out
side of our own country, is worth
more than the dollar of 3s5 $40 grains. !

Kansas in Warrington.


From the Atchison Champions
Washington col respondent we take
the following notes of our Represent
atives and Senator's:
Mr.. Haskell made a strong speech
i'll the House ON the silver que stion,
last saturday. 1t will appear in the
Record tomorrow, and doubtless will
have large circulation in Kansas.
Mr.. Haskell successfully controverted
DIR. Linderman's project in favor of a
dollar of 425 grains.
Mr.. Ingalls, introduced q bill to-day
looking to the Improvement of the
Missouri river opposite your city. A
survey and estimate have been made
and approved by the Chief of Engi-
neer and the Secretary of War, and
there is little dou bt that an appropri-
alton will be made to prevent the
shifting of the channel, and the con-
sequent rendering of your 'sgreat iron
bridge" an impeachment to navigation.
Colonel Phillips has promised to take
hold of the matter in the House, and
to employ all his powerful influence
in putting 1t through.
The Senate Military Committee
have reported Colonel Plumb's bill to
dispose of the Fort Harker reserva-
ton. with an amendment wiping out
the homestead feature and exposing
the land to public sale at not less
than dollar and twenty-five cents an
acre. Against this feature Colonel
Plumb has presented minority re.
port, and will make fight in the SEN
ate, with a reasonable prospect of
carrying his point. 1t is about time
the sales of large bodies of land to
spectators, whose ,object is to hold
them until they can command high
prices from actual settlers, were stop
ped. The reservation embraces six
teen sections, of 10, 240 acres, and was
set apart for military purposes by or
der of the President, November 3,
1866. 1t has been abandoned since
1872.
Colonel Taylor, Register of the
Wichita land office, is in town. His
business has reference to the affairs of
his Office, and incidently, perhaps, to
security of his official scalp. How
great is the peril of that article have
10 means of estimating
Colonel Plumb made his debut in
the Senate the other day, on a ques-
ton of taking the deposits of savings
banks. He was closely listened to,
and acquitted himself like an expert
enced debater. He showed his thor
ough intimacy with questions of bank
ing. taxation, etc.
Tom Ryan, the capable and vigor-
Gus member from the Third District,
it seems, is almost unanimously en-
dorsed by the press of his district. TO
attempt TO change him for new and
inexperienced man would be a blum
der which would nearly reach the
OF crime.
