ST. JOHNS POLITIoAL PRoaRaHMa.

The Usage cir0aicls gives the EAGLE some
very sound advice TO which we iake very
kindly. Eat that paper must know thai how
ever heterogeneous the opposition 90 q laird
term may prove. however widely separated
on the question of temperance and proiibi-
ton. such opposition can never unite on ST
John. nor viii any portion 81 It 50 10 him in
convention in any conceivable event
From one OF his officer, We gather the idea
Of 81. Johns campaign i mapped cut by
himself. The necessary funds 10 carry OH
which has already been received "a response
to the circulars with which the East was
flooded some time since lie and his forces
are TO keep quiet, il possible. until the Iowa
campaign Is ended, when The State OF KAN
sas win be flooded with az the short-haired
women and loug-haircd men Eow stirring up
that State from the stump. No ST. John
clubs are 80 be formed, butundcr The auspices
OF these speakers prohibition clubs and ten
perance organizations are 60 be enrolled ey-
erywhere. whose war cry Is 20 DC "a fight on
St John j. a fight against toe constitutional
amendment and prohibition. When it
comes TO the selection Of delegates 10 the
county and state conventions then the beau
IL and efficiency OF these organizations viii
be made apparent. They viii al be used in
the interest Of II. John Ia spite Of lniBoTi
ties. These organizations, so faras possible,
are TO obtain the use OF churches 30 rs 90 in
terest the general membership and at each
public address by any ofthc-e imported men

up in the name Of temperance and prohibi-
ton, to the end that alt who believe in tenn

GOVERNOR MARTIN.

How would that sound:
II the office Of governor Is 60 be bestowed
upon man who has been Of some good TO
the state. who has been faithful 10 her inter-
ests. and whose fortunes have been linked
with her in Der days Of glory and Of gloom,
the Republican State convention should nom-
mate by aeeiamation John 4. Martin, Of the
Atehison Champion.
We have not a word 20 say against ile pres
ent incumbent, or Capt. Johnson, or Senator
Thaeher. or any Of the gentlemen named in
connection with the bonors Of the gaberna-
torial chair and il either one of them should
be selected by the convention we VIII give
him our cordial support, and hazard the pre-
diciion further, that il the chances Of fate
should decide in Mr. Martins favor that Sir.
st. John. Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Thacher Will
be among his most enthusiastic supporters.
John A. Martin has published a paper in
Kansas for twenty-five years. and the princi-
pal characteristic it has always possessed was
an enthusiastic devotion 10 the interests Of
this young commonwealth.
He is Republican whose fealty 10 the par
ty has never been questioned; gentleman
of easy, dignified bearing, whose tranquility
would not be disturbed 10y promotion; and
his acquaintance throughout the Union
would be of service 10 the State.
This article does not indicate the begin
nsng Of the Martin campaign, for he is notin
the field, further than if nominated he would

TIE LAND LEAGUE LEADERS.

The Irish leaders. Parnell, DaNitt, Dillon
and others, have issued the following ad-
dress, which we have no doubt fairly and
fully represents the horror and indignation
they feel;
70 Tie Irish Peogls:
ON the eve Of what seemed bright future
for our country, that evil destiny which has
apparently pursued US for centuries. has
struck at our hopes another blow, which can
not be exaggerated in its disastrous conse-
quences In the hour of sorrowlul gloom
we venture TO give expression to our pro-
foundest sympathy with the people of Ire
land in the calamity that has befallen our
cause through this horrible deed, and with
those who determined at the last hour that
Cancellation should snpplant that of terror
ism and national dIstrust. We earnestly hope
that the attitude and action of the Irish peo-
pie win show to the world that an assassina-
ton such as has startled Us almost to the
abandonment of hope OF our country's flu
ture. is deeply and religiously abhorrent to
their every feeling and instinct. We appeal
to You to show, by every measure OF express
sion. that amidst the universal feeling of
horror which this assassination has excited,
no people feel SO deep a detestation of its
atrocity, or so deep sympathy with those
whose heart, must be gored by it, as the na-
ton upon whose prosperity and reviving
hopes it may entail consequences more ruin
Gus than those which have fallen to the lot of
unhappy Ireland during the present genera
ton. We feel that no act that has ever been
perpetrated in our country during the eX-
citing struggles Of the past fifty years has 50
stained the name Of hospitablc Ireland as
this cowar,lly aud unprovoked assassination
Of friendly strangers, and that until the muir
dcrers Of Cayendish and Burke are brought
TO justice, that stain will suliy our country's
name. CHARLES :. PARNELL.

AN ENGLISH REPUBLIC.

ON the 10th Of May Mr.. Iabouchere will
introduce into the British Parliament his
motion ''ihat the House of Lords is obtru-
siye, unnecessary, dangerous, and ought to
be abolished, Mr.. Thomasson viii submit
rs mn amendment, '.that the hereditary char
acter of the House OF Lords is injurious to
The interests Of the people of the United
Kingdom" These motions will, of course,
be voted down 'by large majority" But
their introduction shows progress in that d.
rection. The British House of Lords is
doomed. IL may survive a decade or two,
bat its end is approaching. After the House
Of Lords viii come the abolition of the mon
archy. Ii Is somewhat doubtful. indeed,
whether the Prince of Wales will ever be
King OF England. If Queen Victoria sur
wives many wears, her death will likely be
the death OF the monarchy. The Republic

RUBY RACKET.

| 10 tie Edstor IF tie kagts.
We, the citizens of Illinois township, 10
not believe ia taxation without representa-
tion,' that is. we pay our little two dollars
year for the EAGLE and very seldom see
any thing in its columns from home.
Ruby is situated in the southern part of
the township and, although it makes no pre-
tensions toward being town, bright hopes
are cherished for it when we get our railroad
through to Anthony
Farmers faces begin to draw up in proper
ton to the rain that comes down, aud well
they may, for the copious showers with which
we have been blessed the past week mean
drowned chnch bugs, big wheat crop, peck
ct full of money next fall with which to so
east aud see your wife's people, and give
Sedgwick county puff.
The prospect for big wheat crop was new
er better Some of our most enterprising
farmers are engaged in replantins their corn
which was planted in March and the first Of
April. 1t is surprising that farmers who
have lived in Kansas for the last eight or ten
years will persist in planting corn in March
and just rs regularly plant it over.
The May party at the Centennial school
house was success IN every particular. The
tables groaned under the load of good things
prepared and brought by the good house
wives of the neigbborhood The Star dis
trict was well represented both as TO num-
bers and pr0vender. In view Of the fact
that there were so many handsome young la
dies present, and not TO mar the pleasure of
any, the browning of the May queen was dis
pensed with. Dinner being announced eve
rybody and his girl repaired to the school
room where ample justice was done and the
tables quickly relieved Of their burden, after
which followed literary exercises by the lit
tie folks. in which all acquitted themselves
with honor. The young folks then INDUCED
in a few games which recalled tender memo
ries Of bygone days, making me wish
was young again. Alta late hour all repaired
to their homes well pleased. aud wishing
many happy returns of the first Of May.

prosecution of his journey. The little set

have passed so near TO shelter and relief,

is said that Mrs. DeLong is 4 very ambitious
woman, aud il was her urging that sent her

Last fall the average granger could talk Of
nothing but millet, and nothing short OF
thirty or forty acres would satisfy him to
sow this spring; but spring advanced. a
change came over the spirit of his dreams,
and corn became his hobby. One gentle
man informed me that he had Il hundred
acres planted, and expected to plant thirty
more. Another has one hundred and fifty
acres, and these are small farmers. In fact,
the corn epidemic has become so prevalent
that it is not an unusual occurrence to have
an occasional granger get pretty well corncd
while hauling corn to Wichita.
Mr.. Hickman has driven his cattle TO But.

Although once a total wreck, seemingly,
Eastman is a man not to forgot his friends.
He has few in Topeka who used to take a
