COL. JOHN A. MARTINS ADDRESS.

The surviving members of the body which
gave 10 Kansas her constitution and under
which instrument she was '.added TO the
stars" held a reunion last week On which
occasion Col. John A. Martin delivered an
address that is full OF historical "reminiscences
and pen portraiturcs. Col. Martin. who at
that time had not gained his majority, was
secretary of the Wyandolte constitutional
Convention. The address is full of absorb
ing interest TO all old settlers and we hope
to find room for its reproduction at an early
DAY. Every name, almost, is a familiar one,
and with majority we were personally ac-
quainled. The measure Of each made by
Col. Martin is by the gauge OF the historian

seven or eight men OF whom he has lost sight,
among whom he mentions Hiram ID. Preston

To tie Editor ofthe Eagle:
Secretary johnson told me to-day that the

the grand eastern. This insures the pres

Gov st. John passed the window just as l
finished the last sentence. He seems to be
very well satisfied with his position in the
race he is making. He had just learned the
result of the Shawnee county convention,
which met this afternoon and after throwing
out one of the anti-St John delegations on
structipg for him and declaring in favor OF
district representation.
The dispatches this morning reviewing the
business of the week al trade ccnters and

the State at 5000 000 bushels. The inter
esting paragraph, to the effect that it would
require $50 miles of ears TO hold the whea,
| crop of Kansas, estimated at 3j,000,000, will
| have TO be modified little. The train vii
| have to be made least forty-two miles longer
There's nothing like being accurate in sucl
matters.

To tie Editor ofMe Eagle:
The harvest is over, aud il was the best

acre OF grain was lost for the want of the
reaper, and the yield was from twenty to
forty bushels per acre. Corn is looking well,
with the prospect OF a better yield than last
year
Capt James Ellis has bought the Joslyn
property, and will open clearinghouse
and Il sale and exchange stable.
Business is booming. Jones and his chief
clerk. Emmit Joslyn, are busy naiers.
Witten complains Of a good trade and plenty
of customers. The ringing sound Of the
blacksmith hammer is heard from morning
until night. and every person feels good on
the prospects of good crop. Jones and
Joslyn have sold their sheep to Mr.. Lumkin,

range.
Uncle Bin Hays has been out for the last

YHE REASON FOR OLD TUBS.

In discussion, touching the appropria-
tons for the navy, Senator Ingalls,, of this
state, set the teeth Of some Of his compecrs
TO ehattering by saying:
"The United States had three great ele-
ments of a great navy, namely, corps OF
skillul, trained and efficient officers, some
heroic traditions and a great abundance OF
workers. 1t has u coo miles Of undefended
sea coast, aud in case Of invasion it could
only rely upon the assistance Of $40 vessels
Of all Dimensions, OF which but thirty-eight
could positively be rendered effective in
ease OF war. IL has been said that the con-
dition of the navy was attributable TO the
parsimony OF congress. A complete refuta-
ton OF that statement could be found in the
fact that since the war more than $500, 000.-
900 had been spent upon the navy, from
which the country had 10 show only thirty
eight effective vessels. The reason there
was no navy was because the money that
had been appropriated had been misappro-
priated and squandered. lie was in favor

would prevent the extraordinary waste and

WHY BE DIDN'T.

If St. John had been honest in has pro-
LESSONS for tie enforcement Of the prohibi-
ton amendment, as soon as he found the
present law inadequate, why didn't he con-
yene the legislature, which he knows to be
in full sympathy with him, for the purpose
of passing such law as would have proved
efTeetual? We answer, first, simply because
he would have been left without hobby
and, secondly, his agreement with the rali-
roads would NOT haye permitted.
ST. John knows as does every lawyer IN
the state that simple enactment giving the
Probate court fun jurisdiction, or by the
erection of county criminal court with full
powers to try, condemn and sentence at any
time. violators of the prohibition law, every
saloon in the state would be compelled to
close In forty-eight hours.

If St. John is nominated, it is useless to
disguise the fact that it will be difficult to
elect the Republican ticket in this county,
and it will be necessary for us to nominate
our strongest and best men. For the legis-
laiure in the north district of the city Capt.
Haekbusch could lie elected, and in the south
district it would be wise to nominate a con-
sentative Republican, like Fem, Fitzpatrick,
Bickford or Kellogg -LearmmorM Times.

TIE REASON why.

81. John said in his Council Grove speech
The next session Of the Kansas Legislature
will pass state constabulary law and take
the execution OF the prohibitory law out OF
the hands Of the local authorties.-Ex-
change.
\ great many friends Of prohibition won.
der why 81. John did not convene the Leg
islature the past winter to cure the defects
OF the present Law or TO enact a new measure
which would more fully enforce the spirit OF
the constitutional amendment. The pres
ent Legislature Is thoroughly in accord with
prohibition, and why not have remedied
the law while the power TO DO 50 was Ger
tain. st. John does not act like 4 man who
wanted the prohibition question settled in
Kansas, but rather as an agitator who wish
ed to keep it alive for political purposes

A good many papers are bowling that il
st. John is renominated for governor he will
be a formidable candidate for the Senate
against Plumb. And if Thacher shall be
nominated might he not as well be a "formi-
dable" candidate for the Senate! This thing
is about as broad as il is long. 1t is certain
that Plumb will have fairishiy warm tussle
with somebody next winter, but no candi-
Gate that can be got up will be very "formi-
dable." Col. Plumb and ais real friends are

The ST. John strikers have picked out
some VIGOROUSLY liberal men for their dele

The reason for this course is contained in
