THE war between the cotton sellers and the
the buyers and their private weighers has
kept up very tolerabe degree Of excitement
in the business circles Of Dallas, during the
past week and resulted in a victory for the
farmers, and the public weighers. Appropos of
the subject the Mercury, Of that city, asks;
"By what law are the 5000 cotton producers
Of Dallas county compelled to toll thirteen
months in the year for a bare subsistence, in
order to enable the few cotton buyers here to
live in aiiluence and ease. II cotton buying
is such a lucrative business that men engaged
in it become wealthy in two or three seasons,
let the farmers sell the cotton themselves di-
rect to the spinner"

The Washington Republican makes a very
good point in this item "Mr. Dana need
not come now. The President is here, and
perfectly willing to go again when Charles
commands. He realizes that this is Mr..
Dana's Government, and will do all in his
power to satisfy that ancient crank"

IN ANSWER to an application from the
French Charge de'Asaires for permission to
take 20 Indians from their reservations to
France for exhibition, Commissioner Price
has advised the Secretary of the Interior to
refuse the request, upon the ground that such
exhibitions result in decentralization of the In.
dams and renders them dissatisfied with their
life at the agencies.

THE National Board of Health think that
the cholera will gradually spread over Europe
and probably reach the United States next
season through the channels of emigration,
and being brought here in the clothing and
baggage of the thousands of emigrants that
arrive here monthly. In the above event it is
thought that emigration will have to be en-
tirely stopped.

ACCORDING to the Chicago Times the ''pro-
fessional philosopher is not gaining much
Roadway in this country. The business doesn'
pay, and the man who goes into it doesn't at
tract any followers who, like the disciples Of
Plato, are willing to pay for the teachings of
wisdom and prudence which the philosopher
is supposed to disburse. For several sum
mers there has been school Of philosophy at
Concord, Massachusetts, where philosophers
gathered in great force, and where newly
made philosophers were turned loose upon
the world. But the distressing news is now
given out that the institution has collapsed
The finances have run low, the interest in It
has diminished, and 1t has been decided to
hold no session next year. The failure Of the
Concord school is the end of the professional
philosopher in this country, and the cranks
who spent all winter evolving crazy theories
and schemes TO urge at the summer school at
Concord must cut their long hair, put on store
clothes, and subside into the commonplace.
II they try the penpatetic racket of Socrates,
Diogenes, ct al, they may speedily be run in
as vaprants"

The records Of the District court show that
the city is defendant in two cases for dam
ages, resulting from injuries received from de-
feclive sidewalks, which will be but the begin
ming Of a long series Of suits on all manner Of
claims, il they are in any manner successful
The streets Of the city are now, and have
been, in a bad condition, and the authorities
have been repeatedly notified Of the fact, but
Of course as long as the public was content to
suffer all the Inconvenience and make no
positive complaints no particular effort was
made to improve them. II is quite likely
these law suits will be productive Of good, for
they will wake the officials up to a realizing
sense Of their duty, and probably hasten the
action on Alderman Belknap's proposition to
invest S2so, 900 in the way Of improvement.

IHE Federation Of Labor Unions met in
Washington a day or two ago to take some
steps towards protecting young women going
and returning from work from the infamous
proposals OF Washers. The Federation
ought to organize corps from among its
largest men and thump a proper amount of
respect into that class of scoundrels des-
ignaled as Washers, and then the complaints
will be less frequent.

TEE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

John NJ. Steele took his place on the board
on Monday as commissioner for the Wichita
district. He felt like backing out at the last
moment, not that he felt any reluctance in
serving the people, but he finds the duties OF
the place conflicting seriously at times with
his business; taking. often, just the days
which he can most lily afford TO lose. But
ss he had been elected without opposition,
and SO unanimously he took hold of the work
heartily.
In reorganizing the board, G. W. Steenrod
was reelected chairman witlout dissent
from any quarter, after 1t had been rendered
to Capt. Walter, who declined.
Before the old board 81 ssolved compliment
AIRY resolutions Of Mr.. Jocelyn, the retiring
commissioner, were made matter of rec.
ord.
The road crossing the river three miles d.
rectiy south Of town, through the places Of
Mr.. Kinkaid and Mr.. Block, was opened up.
The new books of permanent records and
plats Of the city, towns and the county, pro-
vided by law aud executed by Thos. X. Bay
ley. the city engineer Of Wichita, and made
on contract, the work being done Old oiled
silk paper and bound in books three by four
feet square, were received and win be ac-
cepted as soon as compared and verified. 1t
is splendid job Of work rejecting great
credit on Mr.. Bailey rs q draughtsman and
civil engineer.
The board after closing up the business for
the past year, adjourned.

sossHuu SUGAR FACTORY.

A well-known banker OF this State writes
us that company is partially organized for
the purpose OF building n sorghum sugar
factory In Wichita. He writes that the mat
ter is not definite enough yet to warrant the
use OF names, but that 1t looks very promis-
ing. We can only say that no better point in
the State can be found. We don't know what
or how much there is in it, but the sorghum
interest seems to be attracting no little atten-
ton, especially in the West. There Is moth
ing more certain than that the successful
granulation Of sorghum syrup would settle
the future Of all that portion of Kansas lying
west of the 9Sth meridian. All the varieties
of the Chinese cane grow to perfection In
Western Kansas without reference to the
rainfall or want Of humidity Of any season,
and VIC could sugar the world and sweeten
the food OF all humanity IL the question OF
successful and complete granuiation is mex
pensively solved. Sorghum, Imphee and the
other northern canes seem indigenous to the
great plains so luxuriautly do they grow, and
we hope there 10 something In all the talk Of

The 0mccrs and the records, papers snt
desks have become 90 crowded At the county
building that the commissioners last week
found 1t necessary to provide new quarter,
for the probate judge. They found a room
10 the Mcpherson block, nearly opposite the
county building. The commissioners have
also rented the hall in that same block for
district court purposes, together with jury
| room. The new court room il quito pleasant
and his deputy, the commissioners, and the
county treasurer and his deputy are all, prac.
tically, crowded into one room, and the con-
fusion that rcigps there, especially at tax
paying time, is no doubt appreciated by those
who have been there to transact business
during the past two We ks. The law does
not contemplate that the clerks and treasu-
rer's Offices shall be together. The way in
which matters are crowded up arc not only an
Inconvenience TO the people, but so much con-
fusion is liable to lead to mistakes. The
clerk Of the district court is in an adjoining
room and the sherih,s Office consists OF q lit
tie dark hole back OF the treasurer's vault.
The register OF deeds Office is down cellar
where, also, the probate court has been To-
Gated.
A year or two since the EAGLE urged the
idea OF putting up building completely sur
rounding the present county building and
then putting the entire structure under one
roof. The addition would have been built
uniform with the present structure and all
finished of alike with hip or truss roof and
cupola for twelve or fifteen thousand dollars,
and Sedgwick county would have had all the
necessary Offices, court room, jury room, ETC.,
which she would need for twenty-five years
to come, and at the same time not only save
several hundred dollars rental each year, but
cut of all schemes Of high-toned and ex-
pensive courthouse. 1t would prove an GEO.
nominal move to do just that thing yet.

TIE ODD FELLOWS o,pIrY.

The ordinary installation OF the officers of
| secret societies are little monotonus to the
unintiated public, fact seemingly appre-
ciated by the order OF Independent Odd Eel
ows, OF this city, who having determined
upon public installation, hired the Opera
House and announced free musical and
dramatic entertainment. The scheme was
successful beyond estimate SO far a the
| crowd was concerned. Every seat was TAX
en- two days before the promised entertain
ment. The music was rendered by Mrs.
Chas. Hatton pianist, and the young ladies'
brass band, another unique affair, four OF
the horns being manned by young ladies un.
der sixteen and led by Claude Nef. Fol.
loving the installation was select reading
by Miss Laura Woodcoek, another young
lady who surprised her friends by her note
worthy excellence I'm manner and concep-
ton. But the principal entertainment OF
the evening, aud one which captivsted many
and delighted all, was an amateur comedy
entitled the "Coming Woman--or 1885," be-
ing an exposition of the ridiculous side of
woman's rights as sized up to the popular
prejuice. And as given it was too iunnily
ridiculous for any use. The dramatical per-
sons seemed uniquely fitted to the individu-
ais who undertook their rendition. Mrs.
DR.. Furey, as the old maid, was splendid
and Johnny Allen, as the hen-pecked baby
tending hubby, was too utterly everlasting
for anything. Mrs. j. T. McMiIlen, as Mrs. |
Badger the voter, and Mrs. W. p. Stem, as
Victorine. and Mrs. Eggleston, as ''The |
Judge" conceived and acted their parts in |
way that brought down the house. "Cag"
Hatton, Of course, kept things lively in his |
role. But we have no room for more.
