The Presidents Civil Service Order.

Inquiries continue to be made of
the President from persons holding
Federal Offices in different parts of
the country, as to whether the Prcsi-
dents civil service order remains in
force, or whether 1t has been modified
1t can be stated on authority that the
order will be enforced. This order
prohibits persons holding Federal po-
sitions from taking part in caucuscs,
primary meetings, or conventions,
while they will be permitted to sup
port any candidate they choose, and
assist in any way that will not inter-
fere with the proper discharge of
their official duties. Voluntary con-
tributions to campaign funds are not
considered by the President to be a
violation of this order.

executed sketches in different portions OF the

book comprises sixty-fou pages, exclusive OF

model of typographical beauty, the Tourist is
none the less practical in IFS range Of inform

two hundred people rushed on board
and examined her all over, from deck
to Texas, = cabin, engine, boiler, wa
ter-wheel, all were scrutinized. They
were in her and all over her. Steam
being up, the captain invited all hands
to ride up the Walnut as far as New

lined with people and the yells and
cheers of those OF board and those on
shore made the welkin ring. 1t was

the afternoon nearly three hundred
persons went aboard by invitation, for

Fave Set Down on the Eagle.


The Great Bend Register, the Rice
County Gazette, the Topeka Blade
and Ike Harvey County Ners all took
occasion 10 sit down on the EAGLE
last week. For conscience sake we
have been subjected 10 the ordeal.
"rruth crushed to earth shall rise

Truths exponent was neither eztin-
guishsd or fiattened badly.
Now, gentlemen, be little ressona-
BILE; if rot reasonable. at least decent.
Don't hug to your anxious hearts the
vain deluson that post Office would
cure all your little ills and satisfy all
your ambitions. Even if Sam. Peters
is so green as believe all he tells you,
don't you be so green as 10 believe or
promulgate it.
In the first place we are under no OBJ
legations TO Thos. Ryan, whatever, for
any thing nor do we expect to be.
Secondly, we were for Judge Brown
Is against Ryan, for the very reasons
that we are for Ryan as against Pc
tiers.
Thirdly, we do not fear either Ryan
or Peters, politically or otherwise, or
both put together.
Fourthly, when we said Samuel Pc
tiers was good judge we took the
word of his friends for IL, having nci-
ther examined the records or Supreme
Court reports which might throw an
entiiely ditIcien light upon the mat
ter.
Filthy, when any man or set of men,
BE- he Judge Peters or his friends, un-
dertakes 10 say that Sedgwick county,
or the Republicans Of Sedgwick coun-
ty, are for Sam. Peters for Congress
they tell an unblushing '.no such
thing" There is not dozen Repub-
licans in Scdgwick county for Sam'l |
Peters for Congress. AS to "mary of
the best men of Wichita being bitter
ly opposed to Ryan," we undertaking
ly declare that "anoiber"-there are |
bat three and they are not necessarily
s.thc best men Of Wichita"
Sixthly, Ryan's friends did not want
to hold the convention in Topeka but
at Wichita where it is to be held-and
where it was placed by the influence
Of his friends, and where he viii be
re-nominated by an overwhelming
majority.

Ingalls, and Martin.

While we know that Anthony has
made an exceptionally good Governor
we win not admit that Martin is bring
put on the track by ingalls, enemies.
There are too many of them in the first
place, and secondly, it is well known
fact that the friends of the one are the
friends of the other, almost without
exception Wichita Eagle
We think the EAG-E is mistaken if
it supposes the supporters of Colonel
Martin also support Senator Ingalls,.
The editor of the EAGLE will find by
close inquiry that such is not the case
generally. And if he could have an
honest expression of the Colonei's
opinion, he would find that he is no
friend OF Senator Ingalls,, and if the
Senator will speak out it will be found
that he is bitterly opposed to the Col
onePs candidacy for Governor. The
fact is, those who support Ingalls, for
reelection will do all they can to de-
feat Colonel Martins nomination at
the State Convention -Learenrortll
Press.
The Press will excuse US for enter
tanning different opinion. In truth
we know prominent men that are not
only personally friendly TO both but
who, ignoring mere "local" objections
will sustain both of the gentlemen for
the respective positions Tor which
they are named. Ii either entertains
bitterness towards the other, both
have been very successful in hiding il
from mutual friends. We wouldn't be
understood as believing that there
viii be a combination between ingalls,
and Martin. For that matter we
think combinations in any direction
would be bad policy. If ally man up
on the official roll of Kansas can af-
ford to go before the people upon his
own record, ignoring all local cousid-
erations and stripped of all political
combinations, that man is our senoir
Senator, John j. Ingalls,, whom the
Press don't like very well, but who,
nevertheless, barring few ambitious
politicians and three or four editors,
has the whole Republican party of
Kansas at his back.

Representative Senator.

Senator Ingalls, will be a candidate
to succeed himself. He is the most
talented gentleman among any of the
delegates at Washington from West of
the Mississippi, and his "Catfish A ris-
tocracy of the Big Muddy" is the
cleverest magazine writing except the
Biglow papers that has ever appeared
in this country. 1t is also a fact that
Mr.. Ingalls, aptness, scholarship. and
ready and prompt bushes talent have
ayailed much on many of the hard
battles of the Goor of Congress waged
and won for the West. One idea of
his from the silver bill discussion will
be remembered. lie said: "Grant it !;
the West will never again ask so
slight a favor" None knows better
than he that the sceptro of political
power belongs in the Mississippi val
ley; and no legislation has more truly
shown it than the passage Of the silver
bill against the whole press and poll
ticians of the East, aided by the
strong veto of the President.-Ne-

The Rebel Gains.

The Telegraph and Messenger, OF
Macon, Georgia, in urging the South
to press payment for slaves, says:
"Those slaves were not cannon and
bayonet and armed foes in the late So
called rebellion, and in no sense con-
traband.' They were our property,
solemnly and specifically recognized
as such, aud duty protected and guar
anteed by that Cons titution aud Union
which our adversaries alleged they
took up arms to maintain intact and
defend. Moreover they took no part
in that fratricidal struggle, save when
forced to Join the ranks of the inyad-
err, aud wage war against their best
friends and benefactors. On the BAN
ditti principle that might makes right,
and to the victor belongs the spoils,
only, therefore, can this robbery of an
impoverished people be justified"
Again: ave cannot but indulge the
hope that when we have helped to ex-
tinguish the public debt, and time has
healed the gaping wounds of the great
past, when reason and brotherly love
shall have fully regained the ascenden-
cy over prejudice and hate, even though
il shall be the next generation, a brave
and honorable people of the same
blood aud lineage will see to it that
the value of our property in slaves
shall be returned to those from whom
it was wrongfnlly wrested."
The Southern programme is being
developed by degrees, and we will
have it all in due time. Among the
demands made within the last few
months are those participating as to
the pensioning of rebel soldiers and
the compensation for slaves. In this
connection it is well to remember that
ffty-fve Southern Congressman voted
against Conger's proposed amendment
to the Constitution declaring against
the payment of rebel claims.
