CLASS LEGISLATION.

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, was making 4
speech last week in which some of the abuses
of the military and naval schools of the
country were cited. In calling attention TO
the unwarranied favors annually expected
by the military and marine service, he was
interrupted by two or three Senators with
explanations and questions, for which inter-
ruptiOns the country is indebted for what fol-
lowed He declared that the tendency OF
national legislation was in favor of classes
and for the benefit of the classes as against
MED the right OF such law-making, declaring
that on all proper occasions he would vote to
assert the very opposite principle. He re-
guarded such legislation as vicious and Of
fensiye.
our young Senator struck the nail square
on the head. lie touched popular chord
whose tension has long been threateningly
intense, and a few more such sweeps as he
gave it would arouse the country TO respon-
sive vibrations. Class legislation is becom-
ing the curse Of State and National enact
ments, and we have often wondered that no
bold vigorous hand had attacked it in the
national halls. Plumb started in life poor
boy and having, unaided, fought his way
through and up, fully appreciates all that
the term "elass legislation" implies, and
better or holder assailant would be hard to
find, or one better equipped by experience
and training, and we hope he viii seek every
occasion TO make this cause OF the people his
own until anti-class legislation shall have be-
come a recognized principle Of the Republi-
can party, an alliance which would be natu-
raj. and. ia the end. Triumphant.

The Champion speaking of the position OF
the rank and file of the Republican party OF
Atchison county says:
.sThe election occurs three months after
the convention. Public opinion is incon-
slant and changeable. No one can tell what
day will bring forth much less three
months. The Champion earnestly hopes that
better feeling will prevail before the cleo
ton day comes. But if it was tomorrow,
with the present feeling existing in this
county unchanged. of the 2,S35 votes east
for James A. Garfield not 800 would be
east for Gov. st. John. And the ''scratcb-
ers' would include some OF the most ardent
and sincere temperance workers in the coun-
ty. The only hope is that the intensity of
this feeling will be moderated during the
ensuing three months. IL is not likely to be
however. if the supporters and organs OF
the governor continue their present system
of intolerance, abuse, SANDER and misrepre-
sentation."
The spirit OF intolerance exhibited by the
the St, John men in this county could only
be equalled by the darker pages OF political
histories. A minister OF the gospel to a
street audience declared the editor of the
EAGLE to be "whiskyite," and the only
reason he could give for such an assertion
was, that this paper opposed st. John. A
loud mouthed yawper to crowd ON the
street with exciting gusto declared the EA-
GLE was opposed to the enforcement of the
temperance law and amendment. And SO
has run their campaign Of misrepresenta-
ton and intolerance.
Its all over now, but we take occasion to
say that the EAGLE will be battleing for
temperance, morality, right and the Repub.
lican party, when not Only these men but
their very names will have faded from the
memory Of the town.

ST. LOUIS, Fl. SCOTT AND WICHITA.

WICHITA, KAN, August 3.-On Tuesday
last Mr.. }. ID. Hill, OF TT. Scott, General
Superintendent; Mr.. Moses Neill, Right-of-
way Commissioner, and n. $. Wood, Chief
Engineer, officials OF the st. Louis, TT. Scott
Wichita railroad, passed along the survey
of their line to this point, and were accom-
panied by number OF New York capital
lists. Mr. Hill, who is at the head Of the
construction company, talks very freely OF
the present condition Of the road and the
intensions of his company as to its early
completion Mr.. Hill says the road will be
completed TO FL Dorado, in Butler county,
by January list, 1888. Work is now pro-
crossing in the deep cuts Of the Flint Hills
at rate deemed impossible at the beginning.
About 600 men are now at work upon the
cuts, and are working night and day. What
the drill reported as solid flint now seems to
be only large chunks of flinty stone imbed-
ded in clay and soft magnetism limestone.
The contracts through the Flint Hills, with
out doubt, viii be completed within thirty
DAYS time Mr.. Moran, New York capt.
taist, who has thus far furnished million
anu vi the moucy iOs ehS Du"o'Ae "
the line. is now looking over the route from
Ell Dorado to Wichita. He is much pleased
with the soil, magnificent crop prospects
and general appearance OF the country
Mr.. Hill says that the company expect a
very large increase in the business Of the
road upon its completion to FL Dorado, and
still greater increase when they tap the
rich and populous Arkansas Valley at Wich-
tia. The moving of the corn crop alone
will be considerable item. The prospect,
also, of building branch line from Fl Dor
ado TO Newton is being seriously considered
by the company, but the grades are not as
easy as first supposed, and very good con-
nection with the Santa Fe IL made ut Wich-
ita. 1t ia deemed more advisable to reach
from Wichita to the great
cattle range than ia any other direction.
This road, when completed, will run through
a very fine portion Of Kansas, and 1t Is be-
lieved will greatly add to the commercial
interests of Southern Demo-
esdt.

IL has leaked out through railroad circles
that Jay Gould will in his way and through
his roads which traverse our state, oppose
the reelection of T.. b. Plumb because of his
attitude towards railway corporation and the
Union Pacific lauds in particular. Mr.. Jay
Gould if he knows when be is well of, and
if he cares anything for future dividends
had better let that job alone. The railroads
are ahead on the governor fight, but they
will find Plumb horse Of another breed,
with the Republican party, and, in fact, the
whole people of the state at his back.

1t has always been offered as an excuse by
the st. John people, that the reason the Gov
ernor could not enforce the liquor law under
his nose at the Capital of the state, was be-
cause the people were not with him, although
the county attorney was. Now as the late
election there demonstrated that a majority

Touching the assertions made last Satur-
day during the hours of the convention. we
have ONLY to say that time, and very few
weeks at that, will determine whether the
hight made upon st. John by the EAGLE has
been one Of prejudice or one in the interest
OF the Republican party. 1t is probable that
the editor OF the EAGLE, who served two
winters on the same floor with st. John in
the Legislature, knows as much of him and
his methods as do the preachers who never
saw him outside of pulpit. in which he was
delivering his speech which he has repeated
a thousand times with slight variations.
November will determine where the preju-
dice is chargeable. where the fanaticism, and
whose Judgment was the sounder.
