Congressional Ticket.
State Ticket
NO BOLT HERE.

Notwithstanding our very direct editoria
of last week, il has been suggested that Il
was possible the EAGLE would refuse TO place
the Republican State ticket at its head
ssCrow-eafing and a coon repast" are all well
enough as seasonable jokes. II affords q
measure of relief to work off a big disgust
by a real old-fashioned 1t of indignation, but
the idea OF bolt never, for moment, dark
ened the EAGLES political horizon. In our
feeble way we did what little we could to
saltpolre John Peter St. j., but because he
had brains enough 10 get away with the State
organization, we are not so foolish as to cut
of our own nose 10 please him or any one
else. ST. John is very small part OF the
grand old organization which is. and has
been. in all these prosperous and triumphant
years the government dc faetO of America.
We have been part and parcel Of that great
organization since the first and its principles
are ours rs truly as they are st. Johns. As
between the rampant but successful little
governor and ourself, if he don't like the
EAGLES company he can leave the party for
we are very sure We never shall, on account
of him or any other individual, however per-
sonally obnoxious. If anybody thinks that
after writing and working for the success of
Republican principles almost quarter OF
century, We are now going to go back on the
organization that keeps alive and maintains
those principles, he or they are grievously
mistaken 1t is too late in the day for US to
entertain a proposition to champion the cause
OF our ancient foe, or to become The tool of a
set of individuals who will go into sore
head or independent movement simply for
the chances Of personal gain or preferment.

The barren days OF the elm peeler come on
apace. The crow of the hen no longer fruit
full VIII soon be heard in the land, augment
ed by the cackle of many an ancient and un-
mated pullet. Already are the short-haired
screechers OF the free-love-infected districts
of the East packing their nondescript ward

pettieoats. preparatory to 4 raid on the sa-
cred soil OF political preachers and prohibi-
ton. These combination. dualistic oh-sboots
Of a higher civilization will come piping that
a woman has the same natural and inaliena-
bic right to vote that a man has, which dec
laration nobody OF any sense will deny.
They viii cut loose on constitutional prerog-
atiyes and the oppression OF unequal laws.
No stump in the State will long for their
presence in vain. They will be here, there
and everywhere, in pairs, in triplets, escort
cd by long-haired. far-away looking petit
ndityes. who never did an honest days work
in their lives. The advent of a genuine
practical thought in the noggin Of one of
these uncombed galoois would cause palp-
taiion Of his gizzard-ihey have no hearts.
From their rostrums they viii denounce the
editor Of the EAGLE as brute wanting in
gallantry; as an uDappreeiatiye hog unmind-
full OF the claims of his wife, mother or
daughter; IS q dirty old fogy, untitled to

the marital bosses whose meek and lowly
mates wear out their lives in wearing out
dry goods boxes; all win rally 10 the clatter
and turmoil Of pulpit and mart until the So
eial atmosphere has waxed fairly blue. Ey-
erybody will take a hand in the kilkenny
rumpus. Women who have read the EAGLE
for years will suddenly spit upon /; and cast
it from them in adherence. On the other
hand, many gentle ones who have never,
heretofore. bothered their heads about out
side matters, viii as suddenly develop into
champions for the paper that believes in pro-
iecting them and their homes and babies
Three classes alone viii rise superior to the
hour and its connection: first, the loved and
homes; second. their daughters, who aspire
TO just such homes and contentment; third,
the brothers of the latter whose highest ideal
of life is the building and maintaining like
homes OF their own.
All Of this and much more will be here this
day twelve month. SO il was in 1867 when
families were destroyed, regulations of wo-
men ruined, and scandal run riot, and why |
St. John should, through his committee, now |
commit the Republican party to this measure |
seems strange and unwarranted. In view of
the loss OF friendship and good will the EA-
GLE feels like going TO roost for two whole
years.
In the mean time, how the local and State
politicians will sweat until the question shall I
have been relegated again to the next de-
eade.

the close OF the war he came to Kansas and
lived in Leavenworth and Topeka He has
served as sheriff ofMsrion county two terms,
clerk of the district court two terms. and is
now serving his second term as treasurer OF
that county. MIR. Howe is an excellent bust.
ness man and thoroughly competent to dis
charge the important duties Of state treasur-
er. His nomination is splendid endorse
ment, as the candidates for this important
Office were all first-elass gentlemen We
bespeak for Mr.. Howe a solid Republican
vote at the polls in November.

OUR CAPITAL LETTER.

Topeka, August II, 1882.
To tic Editor Of tie Eagle:
Topeka basebalists are east down tonight
gave our Westerns the worst defeat to-day
| administered to any club by your '.willow
wielders since they started on their starring
tour. Twenty-six to seven is the way hear
it 1t may be worse than that. but that is
bad enough. We know when we are click
ed" Let's talk about something else The
reunion of the old soldiers, for instance.
The programme committee met with the fair
managers last night and fixed the programme
for the week I'll send it to you just as soon
as it is printed. but would like TO say just
now that the bill for the week is simply i'm.
mense.
Gen. C. w. Blair, OF Fort Scott, has been
camp during reunion week. anG will make a
acceptable commander-in-chicf. I'm sure.
He was gallant soldier and is splendid
gentleman.
The convention you have probably heard
all you care to about that so have some 9TH
err people have heard about Kansas takes
the cake, rs usual. With a negro on the
ticket, and prohibition and woman's suf-
fragc in the platform, the State is likely TO
receive large amount of gratuitous adver-
Using. But the extreme radicalsm, the too
utterly beyond sentiment, did not I'll appear
on the surface. Some one wanted to ncor-
porate in the resolutions paragraph ex-
pressing sympathy with Arab Bey.
Ii your athletes do cloihe our young men
in whitewash on the ball field it does not fol.
low that they will be As fortunate when it
comes to the bicycle contest during the State
fair That will be very pretty exhibition
and the strife for the silver cup and the cham
pionship of the State will be one of the at
tractive features Of iair week
Next Tuesday evening the Modoc Club win
meet all other vocaists of the city who can
be induced TO sing, at the city hall, to prac-
tice ord army songs for reunion week A
large number of the ..old fayorite,' have
been printed and will be scattered among the
veterans throughout the State so that they
can practice up for the reunion. | expect to
hear some of the grandest vocal music then
ever listened. Just imagine Il chorus of 3d.
900 male voices singing patriotic songs and
accompanied by the seventy.tive brass bands
that will be here TO engage in the band con-
test.
Pap Singleton, the Moses of the eXo-
oduster', lives here, and the colored people
are making great preparations to celebrate
his I'D birthday next Tuesday.
Judge Adams, secretary of the State His
torical Society, will esteem il Il favor if any

value. will bring it TO him during fair week.

THAT CLEAN STEAL.

The Atehison Champion commenting upor
our editorial touching the bare faced rob
| berry undertaken by The Southwestern Rail
road Association, truthfuHy observes:
"The action OF the railroad companies re
ferred TO by the EAGLE is in direct conflict
with all the rules of business, aud of tn,
basis upon which they claim that they regu
late their trade.
1t is alleged, 10y railroad managers. thai
the larger their business is. the cheaper the,
can afford to carry it. This is why, the,
state-and with truth-that the great trunk
lines can afford to handle their traffic at rate.
very much less, per ton, than small connect.
ing lines. Upon the same principle, jobbine
dealers can afford 10 sell goods at A much
smaller margin of profit than do retail deal
ers.
But here are the lines comprising the
Southwestern pool putting up the rates, ar.
bitrarily, in anticipation of much larger
bulk Of business. Their grain traffic last
year was small, and the grain, commanding
high price, might have afforded a larger
rate of height. But this year the crop will
be immense. 1t win tax the rolling stock OF
the railroads 10 move it. The price is cor.
respondingly decreased. But the railroads
instead OF making lower rates for this large
ly increased-this wholesale business, as
compared with the retail trade of last year
actually increase their rates, arbitrarily put
ting an unjust and outrageous tax Oh the
people of the West
This is as stupid as it is outrageous. The
men who ordered such an increase. under
such circumstances, are destitute alike OF
sense and fairness. II is monopoly, pure
and simple, for which the law should afford
stringent remedies

LIVING ISSUES.

Siuss, in response to the honor conferred
at Topeka upon him, In referring TO the Re.
publican party, said, it is not party Of JEFF
fersonian principles or Jacksonian traditions
but that lis principles are the principles OF
the everything present. Sluss is mighty
bright, possessing an insight that most read
lily comprehends the present and weighs cor
rectly coming results. but we wish when he
addresses such great mixed crowds as that,
he would, FOR the sake of his friends, con-
serve and qualify little more. As n glitter
ing generality. to catch the ear and raise the
hair OF the enthusiastic, his sentences were
just the thing. But the living principles OF
Republicanism are more Of the past than OF
The present. Besides, there are great many
so-called principles of the present, and they
are live ones, too, a few more OF which, il
adopted by the party, will relegate ii to the
tomb of the forgotten. Some Of these prin.
ciples that are crowding forward are as much
political ones us is prohibition, or co-opera-
ton, or communism, or mormonism, or free
lovism, or non-.oreign emigration, or female
suffrage-all more or less political in their
bearings and all struggling for party recog-
milton.
The boys say that Sluss afterwards laugh
ingly remarked that that portion of his re-
marks was made for the benefit of the Dem
oeratic convention called TO meet at Emporia.
and we are inclined TO believe it.

NOMINEE FOR STATE AUDITOR.

+. 7. McCabe, of Graham county, the col
vention for state auditor, was born in Troy
New York state, in 1865.
His parents, when he was at an early age.
moved TO Newport. Rhode Island. MIR. Me.
Cabe attended the public schools in that city
for number OF years, being noted as an
apt pupil, and obtained fair education in
the English branches. The loss of his father
while yet a lad compelled him to struggle for
livelihood. his first employment being with
the firm of Messrs, Shreve a. Hendricks.
brokers of Wall street, New York City, with
whom he remained as clerk for several wears.
earning by his fidelity and eapabllity the
esteem OF his employers.
In 1879 Mr.. McCabe, obeyiDg the advice of
the sage, $50 west, young man." left the
east. locating in Chicago, in which city he
soon obtained employment As clerk with
Potter Palmer, the hotel king, subsequently
being appointed TO a eerkship in the county
treasurer's office, of Cook county. Illinois.
which situation he held for two years. Civ
ing good satisfaction.
In the fall OF 1877, Mr. MeCabe emigrated
10 Graham county, being one OF the pioneer
settlers in that county, and engaged in the
land business at Nicodemus. the point selec-
ted by large colony of eolored people from
Kentucky and other parts of the south. Mr..
McCabe at once took prominent position
with his people, transaeting much of their
business OF legal nature, and commanding
their fnll confidence

county clerk, being subsequently elected 10
that Office, which he now holds. Mr.. Nc
Cabe, who, so far as we know, bears an ex-
cellent character, is young man of pleasing
address, who, during the progress of the
convention, made favorable impression up-
on the body oil delegates. With his ex-
perience in clerical work and recognized
ability. Mr.. McCabe may confidently expect

party for the responsible Office of state au-

HOLD YOUR TEARS.

The Winfield CosaFer's card of coincidence
with the EAGLE lacks applicability. The
Republicans Of Sedgwick county did not 90
back on their paper. Sedgwick county has
always ben IN anti-St. John county and had
there been any chance TO beat st. John in the
State convention the Republicans of Sedg-
wick would have sent IN an anti-St. John
delegation. Six townships refused TO hold
primaries, and SO far as we have heard but
one anti-St. John Republican in the entire
county made any fight and he tied the oppo-
sition. Hold your tears, Mr.. Courier.

A GOOD TICKET.

The New York Sun mentions Chester A.
Arthur and John j. Ingalls, as the possible
Republican candidates for president and vice
president IN 1884. This is a well-constructed
ticket and by no means an improbable one.
II would carry Kansas.
Ii would sweep the prairies,
As Of Old our fathers swept the seas.

Kansas, who has throughout the session OF

incisive speaker and the best in running de-
bate Of any member of the Senate, and has
