JOHN FRANCIS.

For series of years Kansas was in con-
slant state Of trepidation and alarm over the
large amounts of money held in the treasury
Every investigation showed that the Treas
urers were manipulating the funds in their
own interest. until John Francis was put
in charge, and he was first put there by APP
pointment TO fill the place made vacant by
the threatened impeachment Of Hays. Now
john Francis says that while he is not a can
didate, aud cannot well be under party rules,
nevertheless, if he is nominated he viii ae-
cept. Such being the fact, ii is the plain
duty and the undoubted interest Of the State
TO re-elect him. We know our money is
safe with him. then why take chances. We
hope that Sedgwick will vote for Francis to
a man. Besides, it win not be forgotten
that John Francis helped TO dispose of Sedg-
wick's railroad stock and TO buy up our
bonds

season, he left us to dwell in the capitol,
where he presided over the brain department
OF the State. The people of this section
survived the strain of his absence four years,
but we would dislike to see the experiment
repeated. When his pay as State brain d.
rector had stopped, he came back to the peo-
pie he had created, or discovered, rather;
not exactly back TO them, but to within hail

Judge Peters() FOR Congress. His noble, I'M
,elfish battle, his book Of record of trades,
are they not known Of all menu Let that
pass But why such central figure of crea-
tive art, such genius of political mobiliza-
ton and stunning slate-smasher, should, in
the hour of his triumph, turn his terrible bat
teries on the unpretendins, inofiensive, but
misguided people who failed TO follow his
lead only because Of his distance, passes our
comprehension Father Millington, Of the
Courier, and Murdoch, Of the EAGLE, may be
outrageous equiyocators and both downright
liars, bu, we plead for an innocent people,
for the life of our struggling railway corpor-
atious, and trusting Federal officials. If the
assurance that every Republican vote in
Sedgwick and Cowley counties would be re.
ligiousy east for Judge Peters, and OF which
we entertain not the least doubt; il we could
prove that neither Millnston or Murdoch
breathed single word against Judge Peters
as a man, as Republican, or as an official,
while at Topeka, and thus avert the impend-
ing doom, how gladly would we 90 So To
pacify, to win Il moments surcease of the
whiting anaihemas weekly voiced through
the Republican, we might even acknowledge
that Slnss and Hackney were mere dunghils
and that the people OF Cowley and Sedgwick
deserve instant and shriit!ess death for pre-
Stunning to support either. after Lennon had
decided that Peters must be the man.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The Empora Macs in commenting upon
the letter written by Henry Sluss TO Judge
Peters, which was read at the ratification
meeting at Peters home, says it was man
" letter and characteristic of the man, clos
ing with the following words:
ave AWAY took good deal Of stock in
Henry c. sluss, Of Wichita, and would have
rejoieed had he been the choice OF the late
congressional convention as one Of the can
didates for congressman at large. Under all
the circumstances he made most excellent
run, and one which he and his friends ought
TO feel, and doubtless do feel was compli-
ment. sluss is a young man and can afford
to ''bide his time" for promotion, which we
believe will come in the near future"

A Colonel Jetmore, of Topeka, is out in a
letter endorsing ST. John. Colonel Jetmore
is bag Of wind who has been carried under
Gov. ST. Johns arm, and has given out

years. Col. JetmGre might well kept his
opinion TO himself for two reasons:

We are glad TO learn that there is such a
bona fide individual as Colonel Jetmore.
From some of the illusions appearing over
that signiture in the Topeka papers we We're
lead TO believe that it was the non de plume
of some escaped fool from the insane asylum
As bag of wind it would not pay to pune
rurp him for one jet more.

FOR rae LEGISLATURE.
WICHITA, KANs., July 20, lss

WICHITA, Mans, July ~, ico~'
To tie Editor of the Eagle:
ASH have announced my Intentions OF
being candidate for the Legislature this
coming winter, l deem it proper, that make
a statement Of my position upon some OF
the questions which will come up for con-
sidcration in the next House OF Representa-
tiyes. do this in order that | may not be
misrepresented, and that the people may
perfectly understand me.
In the first place, | am in favor OF SO
amendidg the prohihitory law as to enable
the people to obtain from our druggists al
coholIc liquors for such purposes as the law
prescribcs, and such other amendments AS
would be to the interest. and IN Keeping
with the constitutional amendment. In the
second place, am in favor OF the passage
OF u law that will prevent railroad corpora
tions from laying an extortionatins hand
upon the products Of our labor here Is u
line of equity between the people aud rail-
road corporations, that should be observed
by all parties. And when one or the other
fails to recognize the others rights, and be-
comes abusive Of their vested power, then
it becomes the duty of our National and
State Legislatures to take such questions
into consideration, and il possible prevent
such abuses by the enactment OF wise anu
equitable laws. In the third place, am in
favor of cutting down all excessive appro-
priations and state expenditures so as not to
interfere with the best interests OF our peo-
pie and the welfare Of our state. And last
OF. all, but not least, am In favor OF the
reelection of p. d. Plumb to the United
States Senate This Is something that
should interest every voter in the State oil
Kansas. He is now an acknowledged power
in the halls of our National Legislature. He
is an advancing man, and Is calculated to
keep pace in his political movements with
the proud and prosperous state which he
| represents. This is matter which | hope
the voters of the Goth district will consider,
and whoever your judgment may dictate to
YOU to nominate and elect rs your next rep
resetatives by all means instruct them to
support T.. b. Plumb. Yours respectfully.

Gov. st. Johns friends say that he is SO
identified with the temperance movement
that his defeat will be construed into step
backward. They say, too, that 1t Is injudic-
ious to swap horses while crossing stream.
But does it not occur to them that the stream
is already and successfully crossed, and that
the ambitious horse is simply trying to climb
up and play driver? That is the way 1t
seems to some good Republicans. And II
the wagon must depend forever on one horse

A FAIR STATEMENT.

The HUMBOLDT Union, in its last issue, de-
clares against the reorganization of Gov. st.
John, and says:
'st. John has been twice nominated for
Governor. That should satisfy himself and
friends. IL is folly to think that the prohi-
bition law will become a dead letter unless he
Is re-nomilated. The law will remf in on the
statute book, and will be enforced long after
st. Johns prohibition and political star has
disappeared. That he has made fair Gov
ernor we DO not deny; but at this jnncture
of affairs in the State and of the Republic
can party. Hon. 5 o. Thscher will do equal
ly as well, and much better in many respects.

the idea of a third term. and neither do we
like the idea that orr constitution aud laws
or any part of them depend upon the fact
that any man is or shall be elected to this or
that Office. We hold that the Governor OF
the state has no more to do with the liquor
law than with any other law of Kansas, and
the enforcement Of the law depends largely
upon the prosecuting attorney of the coun-
