NOT a REFORM.

One of The proposed postal reforms, and
for which Anderson, Of Kansas, has ALREADY
introduced bin, is the cutting down Of let
ter postage from three to two cents. For
twenty-five years the Republican party have
been endeavoring 10 render tie postal sys-
TEN selfsupporting. The effort has been at
the expense of a satisfactory service. This
department has cut every where TO encom-
pass this idea. for it, only an idea. Now
that the thing has been done, If is proposed
10 place the service in the same hampered
condition il has been in Cor years by redue-
ing the revenues, after which viii come the
cutting and trimming process TO bring the
service again back TO self-support. The
wise thing to do would be to stick TO the
present revenues and enlarge and increase
the service. Outside OF the more important
towns and cities the service is not perfect or
satisfactory by any means. The star routes
Of the country should be trippled and cities
the size of Wichita should have free deliv-
cries

KANSAS AT THE FRONT.

Kansas viii be at the front during the next
two years, in Congress ut least, and it comes
from keeping good men in the House and
Senate. Anderson, Haskell and Ryan, by
their long service and special adaptation to
legislative work have secured positions and
recognition in the House that carry the State
direct to the front. There will be but few
members on the Republican side who will
stand in front of them in the next Congress.
Haskell will be the best posted man on the
rules; Anderson, as ready debater. as a big
Drained and broad-gauged Representative,
will be one of the prominent leaders, and
Ryan, for all work, will be abreast with An
derson and Haskell. No western State will
have any members who will occupy more
formidable positions. Mr.. Kelley, by longer
service, will, on some questions, be consid-
cred authority. The Republicans will have
men who will be only little behind the
Kansas delegation, owing to the shorter term
of service: Mckinley, of Ohio, Calkins and
Brown, of Indiana, and Reed, of Ms e.
LedueapGftR Press.

SCARED.

The Atchison & Southwern railroad en-
terprise has been abandoned for the present.
The Champion says there is SO much talk OF
railway legislation that it is found impossi-
bic TO enlist eastern capital in such an en-
terprise. We are no prophet, but knowing
the enlightened enterprise of Kansas people
and the breadth and lberaity of her aver
age legislative assemblies, we have no hesi-
fancy in predicting that no wild theories or
communistic freaks viii be incorporated in
the enactmenis of this winter, touching rail-
way or other material enterprises. The
time has come when railway legislation has
become necessity, probably. but it will be
of an honorable and liberal character such
as. while it Will protect the people will not
embarrass or do injustice to the people who
furnish them money to build and equip
road. Railway property, in Kansas, should
be protected and fostered the same as any
other propeTty-eneouraged to the fullest
extent not in conflict with other interests
and Investments. No legislation, as would
make the investment OF money in railways,
in Kansas, more than an ordinary business
risk. should be had or even thought Of. All
the people want, all that they demand. is
fair, practical and equitable rates, and these
they will have.

ANOTHER APPoRTIoNMENT.

Elsewhere we indulge in some remarks
touching the next congressional apportion-
ment. As starter, we hold that the appor.
tionment must be made with reference TO the
location of the present Congressman elect
in pursuance Of this idea an observant gen.
tleman. long connected with the affairs OF
our State. has figured out the following.
which TO us is a mach more satisfactory APP
portioument than that of the Champion:
FIRST DISTRICT.
Doniphau, Brown, Nemaha, Marshall,
jackson. Atchison and Leayenworth. Pop
ulation, 1852.
SECOND DISTRICT.
Wyandotte, johnson, Miami, Linn, Allen,
Anderson, Franklin, Douglas and Usage.
Population, $4,000.
THIRD DISTRICT.
Bourbon. Crawford. Cherokee, Labette,
Neosho. Montgomery. Wilson and Woodson.
Population, 1856.
FOURTH DISTRICT,
Greenwood, Elk, Chautauqua. CONVEY,
Butler. Harvey, Sedgwick, Sumner, Harper.
Kingman. Barbour, Pratt and Stafford. Pop
ulation, l+O,54..
FIFTH DISTRICT.
Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Lyon, Cofey, Chase,
Morris. Dickinson, Marion and Mcpherson.
Population, l4S, IA.
SIXTH DISTRICT.
Davis, Riley. Washington, Clay, Ottawa,
Cloud. Republic, Jewell, Mitchell, Osborn
and Smith, Population, 144,075.
SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Saline, Lincoln, Ellsworth, Rice, Reno,
Barton, Russell, Phillips. Rocks, Ellis. Rush,
Pawnee, Edwards, Ford, Hodgeman, Ness.
Trego, Norton and the unorganized counties.
Population, f37.255.
The seven districts leave each OF our pres
eut Congressman in district by himself and
gives the State seven Republican congress
sional districts.

IRRIGATION TROUBLES.

Some big claims have been put forward in
behalf Of the results and experiments in
irrigation in the upper Arkansas valley, con-
sequently this winter number of bitches
are being made, some of them many miles
long, and large enough to carry half the wa
tiers that flow through the channels OF the
Great Arkansas. This is a question that may
yet seriously effect the people OF Sedgwick
county. II the waters of the upper Arkan-
sas are to be diverted, absorbed and eyap-
Grated entirely, who knows what the effects
may be touching the rights of the Lower
Arkansas. 1t is claimed that sections and
streams even in Kingman county are being
affected At Kinsly, in Edwards county the
people declare they win stand it no longer.
A dispatch says:
s.For some time there has been quite a
feeling growing in this and neighboring To-
calities against the further diverting OF the
waters of the Arkansas river from the prop
er channel, and used in the irrigating chan
nels in the western part of the state. For
some time the past season. the river at this
point and Others was practically dry, and it
is claimed beyond doubt to have been
caused by the volume of water being turned
into these channels. The loss of water has
worked serious hardship upon many mills
and other institutions. To prevent repe-
tition, an injunction will be asked to stop
further works. The cause will be contest
ed by the irrigating parties.'

GOV. CLICKS CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Gov. Click is going in, if the papers are to
BE believed, for some sweeping changes. It's
his right. Some splendid officers viii step
down and out, for which they can thank the
scratcher in The last election. Il. b. Morris,
of Atehison, viii be made Insurance Com
missioner in place of Welch, with Lea, OF
Cherokee, for chief clerk. Major Hopkins,
Warden of the penitentiary, will give place
10 Tom Moonlight. That institution WONT
be so pleasant home retreat under Tom, or
VIC miss our guess. johnson, of the same
institution viii be superseded by Pussey.
Tomllnson viii have place in the govern
or's Office and John Martin will be appointed
Judge if Morton resigns. II. Clay Park, ed
itor Of the Atchison Patriot, is TO take the
place Of sharpe as treasurer of the board of
charities.
Governor Click believes in the kind OF civil
service which puts his democratic supporters

A FEARFUL CRIME.

1t will be remembered that = year or two
ago the EAGLE contained several notices of
land frauds in Kingman which involved the
sheriff and young Sprowles, the county at
torney. Now comes fearful sequel, the
truth or falsity of which will no doubt be es-
tablished within a short time. A dispatch
from Hutchinson last Saturday says.
at appears that two years ago gigantic
land swindle was in operation in that county
including in its active participants the sher-
III and county attorney. The fraudulent
scheme was discovered and all the parties
arrested. Sheriff Mccain broke Jail and es-
capped, while County Attorney Sprowles gave
bail, and as he suddenly disappeared from
the neighborhood, it was supposed he had
jumped ii. A rich relative Of Sprowles' in
Maine fearing foul play from his confederates
sent Pinkerton detective to Kingman some
time ago TO ferret the matter out. The re-
suit was the finding of a part of charred
coat on the farm of one Carr, which had two
bullet holes in it, and was identified as that
of Sprowles'. Carr was one OF the men i'm
plicated in the land swindles, and it is sup.
posed that all hands interested ia the case
killed Sprowles topreyent his turning States
evidence. Arrests have been maGe.'

AFLCCK By HIMSELF.
Webb Wilder. in the World says:

Webb Wilder. in the World says
1.-THE legislature will meet next month
and Senator Plumb will be reelected senator
soon afterwards-on the day provided by
law. This election viii closely resemble
Gen. Lanes reelection January IL, 1863.
He received 81 votes, William A. Phillips Z,
William c. Mcdowell 4, c. Il. Brace ., Wy.
Roberts 2, and b. NJ. Hughes !. Lane had
made a canvass, as Plumb has, and the
result was an overwhelming victory. Sew
eral men who had been elected as anti-Lane
men voted for the senator TO strengthen his
hands and give Kansas prominence in the
national councils. We shall see history re-
peat itself next month. The democratic at
tempt TO secure candidate against Plumb
has been ridiculous failure. That candi-
date, like Lord Dundreary's goose, will have
to 20 off alone, and flock by himself.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC

The Atlantic & Pacific is now completed 10
the Arkansas river, and new contracts are
being let for its extension. The new route,
as Recently adopted, follows the Red fork and
enters the Oklahoma lands at the northeast
corner of the Sac and Fox reservation, six
miles north Of the thirty-siSth line of lati-
tude; thence the line bears south and west
until it reaches the north fork Of the Canadi-
AN river, which it follows westward until it
reaches point on the river six miles south
of the thirty-siXth degree of latitude, when
it strikes for the south fork OF the Canadian !;
thence along the valley of the South Canadi-
an to the Texas Panhandle. The evident
object in--changing the original route is to
secure to the road the alternate sections Of
land under the provisions OF its charter,
granted by Congress in 1866, lying in the
public lands. The Atlantic & Pacific is but
an extension westward of the Vinita branch
of st. Louis & San Francisco company to
meet the Atlantic IL Pacific, whose eastern
terminus is now at Albuquerque, New Mex

A POSTAL REFORM.

The Postmaster-General recommends the
abolishment Of postage on second-class mat
ter and an advance on the rate of postage on
fourth-class matter To charge three cents
per half ounce, says he, for carrying mess
ages from one postofiice 10 another, and yet
to carry merchandise from one side of the
continent 10 the other, for one cent an ounce
is not approved by good sense, if it is by
good morals. lie also would recommend
the postal collection system in vogue in Bel
GUM, Switzerland and Germany, the credi-
tor purchasing special envelope, in which
he cncloses his bill, the same being address
ed TO the postmaster in the town where the
creditor lives and presented by the mail
carrier. The postmaster and carrier both
are TO receive fee if the bill is collected.
The system has been very successful in the
countries named, as well as in France, where
it was introduced last March. The postal
savings banks and postal telegraph systems
are also recommended, but the country at
large knows the Postmaster Generals views
upon these subjects too well TO require rep
ptitiOn.

WITHOUT KNOWING oR CARING

On general principles, without knowing
or caring whose corns we tread upon we de-
sire to observe that the associated press
agent. or some one else who makes Wichita
conspicuous in the dispatches, is an ASA
simple. unadorned ass, as well as something
of an expert as a bountiful llar.-0sage Free
Press.
On general principles, without knowing
or caring whether the Press has made an ass
of itself or not, we would state for its better
information, that the associate press agent
has not sent of but two dispatches in over
three months from Wichita. And further
more, Wichita nor her affairs appear in the
associate dispatches as often as once month
