THE WATERLOO IN OHIO.

Undoubtedly progress is an element to par.
~ success, but the party that ventures sue
cess upon many Of the so-called latter day
progressive ideas will get left. Extreme
measures, undoubtedly embodying advanced
principles, but in such forms as the great
public mind was unable to grasp the true
conclusions, have proved the Waterloo OF
the Republican party in many campaigns.
Ohio is the latest and most disastrous. No
State in the Union has profited more at the
hands Of the Republican party than Ohio,
yet the Democrats made clean sweep OF al
most the entire State last week and under q
banner Of free whisky and an unrestricted
Sabbath. Prior to the election the congress
sional delegation in that State stood fifteen
Republicans to five Democrats. The pro-
portion has been reversed, the Republicans
coming out with only six Congressman.
Speaker Keller, who was reelected, says the
Republican defeat in that State is attributa-
bic mainly to the liquor question. He prob
ably knows what he is talking about. 1t is
very certain that the party was divided upon
the question and that many leaders. notably
pose. While the same result may not follow
in Pennsylvania and New York, we very
much fear that it will. With these three
States Democratic the Bourbons will be our
rulers for the next four or six years at least.
Nebraska will lose one Congressman over
this question, and Kansas will come very
near doing the same thing.
One great trouble with off years is the lack
Of close party organization. In the absence
Of strict township and county organization
defeat is always imminent. In off years Re-
publicans are prone to stay at home on cleo
ton days. Live township and county organ
izations would cure this defeat, which leads
to the further observation that if there is not
better and closer. organization in Kansas
within the next two or three weeks the head
of our ticket will have a close run.

TEMPERANCE REFORM.

A Massachusetts, paper makes the senten.
tious remark that ''it every man voted as he
drinks there woudbe no prohibition This
is true. And it is also true that if men .'vot-
ed as they shot" during the war, the Demo-
cratic party would have been annihilated
long ago.
Thousands of men who take their drinks
regularly vote for prohibition. while, on the
other hand. nearly as many who never drink
vote against prohibition. This may seem
an anomaly. But it Is easily explained.
There are drinking men who vote tor prohi-
bition because they are afraid their appetites
will get control of them; others who, know
ing that they are touching dangerously near
the line of confirmed inebriates, aud realiz-
ing the degradation of their position, want
protection against themselves and still 9TH
ers who fear that their boys may have inner
tied the appetite which enslaves them, or
that their girls may marry men who have
such appetites; and still Others, the helpless
slaves of strong drink. who grasp at prohibit
ton As a rope which may drag them back to
sobriety.
ou lHc inC tCiHpti1tc
men who vote against prohibition, generally
believe that it has failed to accomplish the
reforms it promises; that it Is impossible to
utterly abolish alcoholic stimulants; and that
the only reasonable and practical plan j. to
regulate their sale, under stringent laws that
will largely modify, II they do not abolish.
the Incorporate use of liquors.
A vast majority of the people of this coun-
try are in favor of temperance. But they
disagree, widely, as to the best methods of
temperance reform. There are many theo-
ries suggested Absolute legal prohibition
is one. and Maine, Kansas and Iowa are try
ing this plan. Ahigh-license-law is another.
and Nebraska is trying this. Ohio appears
to have decided in favor of free whisky-the
liquor traffic absolutely unrestrained and I'M
taxed. The theory Of absolutely prohibit
ing the sale OF distilled liquors, whisky,
brandy, etc, and permitting the sale of ma
tive wines and beers, has its advocates. The
plan of establishing government houses for
the sale OF liquors, under severe restrictions,
has 4 few advocates.
Temperance ideas, however, are spreading
and growing. There is no doubt of this. Ii
is not nearly so fashionable or respectable TO
drink, now, as il was fifty years ago. There
is not one sideboard in private houses DOW
where there was u thousand then. Then the
farmer who did not keep keg or barrel of
liquor in his cellar was an exception to the
rule; now the farmer who does is an eXcep-
ton to the rule. Moral suasion. the shock
ing examples of the poverty, wretchedness
and crime wrought by intoxicating bever-
ages, and the force of public opinion, have
already accomplished wonders in promoting
habits And the reform in this
direction will not go backward. 1t is NOV
ing on.-ChamPion.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The attention of the voters of the Goth dis
trict is called to one fact and that is the rec
ord of Frank Dofiemyre on the transporta-
ton question. The enemies of the Republic
can party and those who are seeking his de-
feat can't cover up the fact that Frank Dof-
fiemyre is the only representative from this
county, with one exception, who voted while
a member, first, last and all the time, for leg
islation to regulate railway transportation.
And he did not subside after the discharge
of that duty, out OH every possible occasion
and at every meeting OF the committee, he
urged the passage of some law that would
bring the railroads to time, and that would
give the farmer some show. That the COM
mittee and the House might have no excuse,
while not claiming TO be an expert, he drew
up well.digested bill and introduced it,
bill which could have been readily matured
and one which would have proved a great
relief to the grain and stock-growers of the
State. That he failed to get his bill through
was no fault of his, but that his persistency
compelled the House to take the matter up
and discuss it, is shown by the record. Those
who expect to defeat such man by ridicule
and Misrepresentation will be deceived. If
it is true that monopolies and the tyranny OF
wealth are the greatest present foes to our
republican institutions, will some of these
men, who are trying TO get up fight on Dof-
1emyre, show us better man or one whose
record will compare with his on that ques-
ton? They can't do it. Although plain,
transformations farmer, Frank Dofflemyre en-
tertains the soundest views on the railroad
question and wide range OF information
touching the matter Of transportation in
many Of its most important bearings as his
letters TO the EAGLE abundantlv eyince.
There may be men in his distric. better post
ed, but if SO they have NO. offered themselves
as candidates, nor even taken the trouble to
inform the people of the fact. That there is
any mn in his district more in earnest. or
more honest in his convictions touching this
great question we unhesitatingy deny, and
we are surprised that any attempt should he
made to beat him. Others may be found
who would promise, but Frank has fulfilled.
When the hour came he made manly square
stand for the principles which he had advo-
Gated before the people. and stand that had
its effect. With one winters experience he
will be the better equipped for 4 more effect
i've effort, and the men who are fighting him
because of their own disappointments or
selfish ends, are fighting the interests Of the
farmers, and fighting man who possesses
the grit TO honor his own convictions on the |
floor and in the committee rooms of the Kan
sas Legislature. No amount of ridcule or |
can break down Frank |
Dofflemyre's record on the railroad question,
and the farmers of the Goth district should |
see to it that he is not beaten by the jobs |
and trades of men who can't use him or who |
may not like him personally.

WHO CAN SEE IT?

The Democratic organ Of the Democratic
party of Sedgwick county refuses to support
the only democratic nominee for representa-
tive. 1t admits that he is generous citizen
and man ever true to his convictions, that
he is theoretically and practically an anti
prohibitionist, and thoroughly in accord
with the party platform on the question Of
apple juice and rihe-whiskey, but declares
at the same time that he is not calculated TO
have any in6ence on that side, which is the
side held to and advocated by the said organ.
Upon the other hand Col. Russell is practi-
eally and theoretically opposed to the same
thing, the only difference in the world in the
two men, politically, being the difference of
two men on the same platform and believing
the same thing, il anybody can see such
difference.
Do the Democrats propose to make every
concession, only to beat Wall? Does its or
gan propose to sacrifice every thing only
that Dale may be elected.
Truly the editor of the Beacon draws some
fine distinctions.

THOSE LIQUOR CASES.

To tie Editor of Tie Eagle:
WICHITA, KAs Oct, IL, 1882.
At the opening of the spring term of the
District Court, there were ten criminal eases
on the docket. nine of which We're liquor
eases. and seven of the nine an appeal from
judgments aggregating fines for seven hun
dred dollars. assessed and rendered by a
Justice OF the Peace. All OF these l'quor
eases were dismissed without trial on motion
of the County Attorney. There was at the
time, and still is, Il desire on the part OF
some of the voters in this county, to know
why all of said suits were disposed OF in the
manner they were, and soon after the adj
jOurnment of the court addressed a note to
the County Attorney. which was published
in your paper. calling upon him fof an eX-
PLANTATION. but he paid no attention TO it.
Now that the then, and present Attorney
is Il candidate for Endorsement by re-elec-
ton, l again call on him to explain why
none Of those eases was tried in the regular
way, andt that he will see the justice of
the demand and frankly and promptly COM
ply. A VOTER.

GOV. oHAs. ROBINSON.

When the editor Of this paper first landed
in Kansas, nearly twenty-six years ago, the
two prominent leading men in the affairs OF
the. Territory were Jim Lane and Charley
Robinson-grim Jim and calm Charley. in
those days both were heroes in the same
cause, but widely differing in their methods.
The dark, wiry, magnetic Lane carried his
points and the crowd with an irresistible
impetuosity, while Charley Robinson, the
truer, blue-eyed Saxon came up with his fell
lowers in solid phalanx reinforced by their
calm assurance and unalterable conviction.
Lanes death was as expressiyely tragical as
had been his meteorie existence. Charley
Robinson's will be as calm, cool and quiet
AS has been his life, and only in the fullness
Of time. This same Charley Robinson We
have always been proud to call friend, this
man who was the anchor OF the Free State
cause when the pillows Of political passion
surged and dashed the shores Of every state,
this intimate counselor of the Path Finder,
this nearly myrter of the Pacific coast, who
held principal preferable to life, the man
who was our first governor, will be here to-
morrow as the head OF a foriorn hope, the
leader Of the only party in which Sam Wood
ever felt at home. Those who want to hear
q good speech from q calm, candid man
should go to Eagle Hall tomorrow after
noon.

A BIG SWINDLE.

The st. Louis Globe-Democ,at says that
John McAnGrews, jr., railroad expert,
having just completed an examination of
the Denver X Rio Grande road, at the insti-
cation OF the bondholders, with view to
reporting on the value of the property and
the prospect of the road to pay its debts and
earn sufficient money to meet its interest,
says the projectors of the road have pocket
ed enormous profits for construction. The
road has cost four or five times what should
have been spent in building it, and the fixed
charges are three times the present earnings.
He further says that one thousand miles Of
the road could have been built for ST.. 900, 000
whereas it cost S57,0J0,000. These figures
are startling, if true, and will no doubt in
volve that road in gigantic law suit in the
interest of the bondholders.

ROYAL REPUBLICAN RALLY.
FOR OUR pEMOCRATIo READERS.

The EAGLE does not presume to advise the
Democratic party as an organization, but
recognizing the fact that belonging to the
body of the county there are large number
Of as square, as good and as intelligent men
as can be found anywhere, who have been
identified with that party, we make bold to
call the attention of such citizens to the
questionable methods of the men in and
about Wichita who presume to manipulate
that party and its principles and to direct
Its functions. That party capable of pol
ling thirteen or fourteen hundred votes
should submit TO the humiliating farce that
is regularly enacted every fall by halfdo
men in the name of the Democratic party of
Sedgwick county and its twelve or thirteen
hundred votes, is astounding. Ii these self
appointed bosses would but, in demand to
common decency, go through the motion of
putting up full ticket of average men, their
rule might not be SO Objectionable. Take
the last convention for instance and what is
there in the proceedings or final result sub
mitted that is not worthy the contempt Of
every honest Democrat in the county. Stand
ing on a platform gotten up 10 engender
prejudice and to catch soreheads, are just
two Democrats. The balance of the ticket
was filed UP with Republican nominees and
Republican kickers, except one place which
was left entirely blank. Are the solid gen.
uine Democrats OF Sedgwick county, who
are left out of these manipulations TO I'M
derstand that the reason why Democrats are
not put on a democratic ticket is because
there are no Democrats to be found who
have the necessary honesty and ability for
any place in the gift Of the voters OF Sedg-
wick county, Ii that is not the true reason
then we can see no other, unless these self
constituted conseryators of democracy are
stopping to the trick OF endorsing Republic
cans for the sake OF their good will or to
ward Of any fight that such Republicans
might make! How any high-minded or
honorable Democrat, with sufficient self re-
spect and love OF principle enough left to go
10 the polls and cast his ballot, could endorse
such trucking, passes our comprehension.
We are even told that good Democrat, fully
competent, and in every way worthy, sought
one of these places given to Republican,
and that it was refused him, and no other
Democrat was asking the place For very
shame!
If the EAGLE was the organ OF the Demo-
cratic party, which it never can be; or, if
any body of men should dare attempt to thus
carry in their breeehes pockets the organi-
zation of our own party, or to thus insult
the intelligence of its masses, such a breeze
would be stirred up as would not leave
mark to tell the tale where such men had
collected and plotted.

MORE TAIL THAN HEAD.

The Democratic central committee met last
Saturday TO consider the chances of their
county ticket which, like the comet, is bless
ed with more tail than head. What was f.
nally determined upon has not transpired.
We only notice that the head is still down
and the tail up. 1t was expected that the
thing would be reversed and Greifenstein
and Russell put at the head, but the Dales
wouldn't stand it. From the countenances
of the fellows going and coming out OF the
room We thought Republican caucus on
the tapis until we noticed the presence of
the only two Democrats on the ticket. What
would the Democratic party of sedgwick
county be without the Dsles! No echo
brings us an answer.

A Jewel county farmer says that chinch
bugs thrive where the prairie grass is burn
ed. He concludes that in moist localities,
where the grass is never burned and where
it so mulches the ground that it is always
moist, there are no bugs; but where the
grass is short, and where it is burned of ev-
cry year, the bugs can always be found in
countless numbers. He argues that If the
grass was never burned that in a few years
the whole country would be mulched and
kept moist; that drouths would cease, and
chinch bugs disappear.

THE INVINCIBLE WALL FOR TIE COUNTY
ATT0RNEYSBIP.

II the Editor Of tie Eagie:
The freedom of our million-y DICED press
and our love for the glorious. outspoken re-
publican institutions of this country, must
be our only apology for prcsuming to tres
pass upon your valuable space at this june
ture Of our home political contest. Present.
ly the electors Of Sedgwick county will be
called upon to elect, amongst other officers,
prosecuting attorney. In our judgment
there can be but one opinion with regard to
Mr.. Wall, the most prominent as well as the
most popular candidate. and his fitness for
this important Office. Those of our citizens
best acquainted with him will uDhesitatingly
pronounce him par srcetltnce both rs law
yer and gentleman, and lar above reproach
as a citizen. In Mr.. Wall the sordid sinner
can find no solaee or soft resting place. With
him as with all exemplary prosecuting attor-
neys the ways of the transgressors will be
found to be hard. The wicked shall not go
unpublished, and don't you forget it.. All
honor to the man who has the nerve, the
courage, the manhood to confront the enemy,
to beard the lion in his own den, to contend
for the rights of humanity despite the clam
oiings Of the red-faced 'Cain," speckled,
sin stricken liquorac Of our community.
The time has arrived when principle and
not prejudice must hold the lines and manip-
ulate the steed. When right must assert its
might, and when wrong shall be branded
and declared as from the house,ops to be
''No mans right" The time is at hand
when the i'll gotten gains of ayerice dragged
through the Shiny trails of whisky and sin
shall be distributed to the four winds of
heaven, and then, the eayen and juice of
humanity shall stalk forth in majesty and
power to build up Nation of God fearing
and Republican loving people. All honor to
Wall aud his glorious crowd.
PRO BONo PUBLICO.

A TRAGEDY.

a tragedy in high life occurred at St.Louis
last Friday night, in which John A. Cock
Grill, editor of the Post. Dispatch, shot and
killed A. w. Slayback, prominent politi-
clan. 1t was over some personal criticisms
which appeared in the paper of a speech
made by Slayback. All st. Louis was torn
up. Both were high tempered men and
adopts in personal abuse. Slay5ack had
gone to the office Of the Post Dispatch for an
explanation or apology, and he got cold lead
and death instead. Cockerill at last ac-
counts was in Jail Slayback is said to have
been prominent on the Western border Of
Missouri in bushwhacker times.
