To tie Editor Of the Eagle:
Under this head saw in last weeks

you say.
Also the Sunday School celebration

very great amount Of grooming done
unless it was by some who had INDUCED

Harvest is over and threshing is going

Some of Mt. Hopes young GRAVES
went fishing in the river some days ago
and drew out in their net a dead snake

HON THOMAS Ryan.

r. A8A&2<@A2AS
We have vutcAed with son tn10eDt
he ooorse Of events in the Third Dis
xict. We have noticed the anxkety q
certain individuals In that district WHO
ere making ready to raise tho cry q
sthird term" against Mr.. Ryan Kansas
has reashed that point in her hise0ey
when he must rely upon her membeEs
Of Congress and not her Senaton. To
be able to rely with the greatest securi-
ty, . good man once there should be
Kept there until he ceases to exercise
power or until he exercises that power
IN opposition to the wishes Of the peO-
pie. The people in the Third District
are only little more interested in ThOs.
Ryan than are those in the whole of the
State. True, they elected him to repre-
sent their district, but not to be un-
mindful of the interests of the whole
State. Mr.. Ryan has been elected twice,
and has been there just long enough to
so familiarize himself with the methods
of doing business that he is invaluable
to his district, to the State and to the
party. Mr.. Ryan's ability is not fully
appreciated or his worth fully measured
by those who are mastering the cry of
''third term" In that portion Of duties
which Kansas member has to perform
most Of department duties) Mr.. Ryan
is by far the ablest, the most prompt
and the most certain of success. Nor
does he stop and ask the question ''Is he
my friend p or SIS he Republican p
but only as he Kansas man, and is
what he wants right p These problems
being solved to his satisfaction, he says
with alacrity, when asked, II will CO."
We don't claim for Mr.. Ryan all the
brain power or all the culture belonging
to our delegation, but we do say he is
the ecnal Of many and the superior of
the most. If the people of the Third
District should fail to send Mr.. Ryan
back and send some new man they will
throw away a vast power, which is
now theirs, and be more perfectly in
the hands of Senator: because they
must rely upon some one who has expe-
rience and power. We are continually
finding fault with the vast power Of q
Senator, but we refuse to build up a
power through members of Congress to
crush this Senatorial power men so
dread. If Thomas Ryan is kept in Con-
gress by the people as Alexander II.
Stephens is he will he the equal of
Stephens in the councils of the nation.
Elect some other man, however good he
may be, and you divest the district of
that power which properly belongs to
the people, and vest it in the hands of q
Senator who is not accountable to them
for his position. As you weaken the
member you strengthen the Senator !:
you take power from the people and
lodge it in Legislature about whose
action every disappointed, blatant poll
tician in the State cries fraud" We
We express the hope that the Thirdpis-
trict will retain their power by retain.
ing Thos. Ryan in Congress, aud thus
rob the blatant politicians Of food in
their cry of ''fraud," and leave them
only the crumb in the cry Of third
term.-Ledrencor Public Press.

WINFIELD AND WICHITA

Some Two weeks ago the Semi Week
! IN, Of Winfield, in its infinite wisdom
saw fit 10 picture the downfall of Wich-
ita because of the prOblcmatical gro " tn
of Winfield in the near future and the
consequent depression of trade in the
former city and further says it cannot
in Justice feel any compassion for the
''doomed city," but that she must reap
the reward Of her evil actions towards
our county seat. 1t was q stunning ar.
ticle to be sure, but last weeks EAGLE
proved that the rccoil of Conklin's gun
was greater in its effect than the shot.
The affectiGnate illusions 10 the editor
i of the Semi are most touching, and en-
lis; the sympathies Of his faithful back
ers- The fact is, Winfield Is In no sense
of the word a rival Of Wichita. The
towns are forty-five miles distant from
each o.her, and the interests Of one
town cannot conflict materially with
those OF the other. True. the completion
of the railroad through this county will
cut of large factor to Wichita's trade,
but we must take into consideration the
increase in population in the counties to
the west and southwest Of Sedgwick.
which will naturally seek Wichita as a
trading point, and will, in a measure.
offset that which remains in Cowley.
Another fact that speaks loud for a
doomed city" is that property has adj
vanced from twenty-five TO fifty per
cent. since last March, and her shrewd-
est business men we are reliably inform
ed are laying In heavier stocks than
ever before. Moreover, the completion
of the Oswego road to Wichita win SO
iessen the price of coal that . greater
stimulus viii be gwen to manufacturing
interests, and we may expect Wichita To
look out for number one In this particu- |
lar. OF course our interests are in Ar
kansas City. and we expect to have
something TO do with reaching out for |
the trade that Wichita loses, even |
though there be such . place rs VIM
field but We believe that this glorious |
country Il large enough for Arkansas
City and Wichita. Knowing the flights |
Of the win6clfhtcs, we would not pre-
sumo to liIiit their space on this mum
dane sphere, but take conso1ation = re-

The London gossips have it that the
late Prince Imperial went to Africa as q
disappointed lover. They differ as to the

Prince Beatrice was the object of his
affection, and another that the lady wa'

Princess Beatrice, it is stated, tainted

the Patriot respects him and has no un.
kind word to say Of him. IL does not

proper to tender him reception upon
his return home frOlnW ashingtOn. That
is their business and his the Patriots
only so far as TO give a just account OF
it. If our misguided friends-as we be-
