ars OF its antiquities, and the seriou:
respect displayed toward indigenous
art by Europeans of the highest sta
tons may result in some not alto
gether unworthy echoes Of the past.
In the world of letters a revival OF
Oriental scholarship in its ancient
seat is distinctly traceable to the re-
action of the labors of Western
scholars; and craftsmen may not be
80 easily accessible as bookmen, they
are now, as always, plastic, and
ready to respond to the sympathetic
touch. Broadly, it seems fair to say
that if good Indian work is sincerely
wanted, it will De forthcoming.
s1In America it Ia thought possible
that this interesting variety of art
may succeed to the place in popular
favor now held by Chinese and Japan
ese importatione. The difference be-
tween Monaghan work and Indian
are strongly marked. The Japanese,
though bo0ad by tradition as to man
ner and treatment, often goes direct
to nature for his details. He is less
bound to the precedents set by archi-
tectursl style than the Indian, and
can give free play to a higher and
more humorous fancy, allied to more
exquisite .delicacy of execution. The
Indian ornamentist habituslly recurs
to architectonic forms as the gro nd
work OF his design. Within the
bounding lines and framework thus
secured, he traces ornaments full OF
variety OF line, perfectly distributed
as to quantity, bat only remotely re-
ferring to the forms of nature. Geo
metrical symmetry and balance,
which the Japanese seems to take a
gay delight in avoiding by a Thousand
unexpected turns Of fantasy, are ac.
cepted by the Indian as organic
necessities of art. The spiderlike
application which, seeming to seek
no help from the external world,
results in go varied and yet 60 even a
distribution OF graceful and richly
eolored forms, whose general effect is
OF indispensable fullness and rich
ness, is the most striking feature OF
the Indians work. Probably the
invariable quality OF repose in variety,
of sublety in simplicity, is due in
part to the influence of the geometri-
cal arabeeque of Mohammedan art.
But the decorative styles of Indis
have received impulses from other
sources besides Mohammedan inva
ders. And while preserving I'm.
broken lines of succession they have
passed through more complex stages
to nobler development than in The
farther East. The result is a sobri

A DELAN0 FARMER TALKS.

/ To tie Editor Of tie Edgtt:
DelanO township, rising like an emerald
gem on the west bank Of the Arkansas
river, which separates us from the busy
! city Of Wichita, is remarkable for the fer
! Utility of its soil even In county that is
noted for Its productiveness in supe-la-
tive degree. The greater portion Of the
township comprises bottom lands, over
which, in prehistoric times, the waters Of
the Arkansas flowed to the sea. FIVE miles
west Of the present site Of the river, its
banks are clearly defined in its former
tOrtuOus course through the township.
Large and attractive dwellings are being
built on every side, demonstrating the inn
proved condition Of the population, who, a
few years ago, lived In shanties and dug
outs. strangers, who visit this portion of
the valley, are delighted with all the ew
dences OF thrift which meet their eyes on
every side, and would be willing to pay
forty to fifty dollars per acre for msny quar-
ter sections, but their owners are not de-
sirous OF leaving u township. when good
graded roads, bridges on every stream and
nearncss to market make their position m
cnviable one. Were l to enumerate the
number OF bushels OF wheat, the number
Of fat cattle and hogs sold for the last year
by many Of our farmers, who own but one
hundred and sixty acres, ii would he look
ell upon IL an exaggeration. therefore we
refrain. This township is also noted as
being the home Of doctors, lawyers, theO-
logians, political economists, statesmen and
school teachers, but there Is not a politician
in the township. Being blessed with ms
not unmindful OF the duties which we owe
to that benedcent being, who fails not TO
send us springtime and harvest. On the
west side Of the Cowskin, due west from
Wichita seven miles, on the farm Of Nixon
Elliott, one Of Wichita's land agents, u
Presbyterian church has been erected at a
cost Of fifteen hundred dollars, where .'thc
faith once delivered to the saints" has been
preached zcalously and effectively, by Rev.
McClung, to whose indefatigabIe exeriions
we are Indebted for the success which has
crowned his efforts.
The farmers are now busily employed
preparing the land for corn. The oats are
about all sown, and the wheat looks well
very little winter killed, although We had
an unusually severe winter. Hoping that

Twenty-Five miles due west OF Wichita,

town Of Marshall. The stream was well
named by the Indians, Minnesota. meaning

speculative purposes, or by Adventures,
but is the result Of the natural demand Of
one OF the finest sections OF country to he
found In the west. The Minnesota and its
valley are only second in size aud impor-
lance, to the Great Arkansas in Southwest

running over bright clean sand, and is =

OF the finest and most extensive farms OF

first but a postofiice, afterwards u trading
post, Is feeling the influence OF its sur.
rouadings and is growing to be town OF
quite Importance, with a Touring mill,
stores, hotel. shops, etc. Marshall Is des-
tined to become, In short time, an impor.
tant town, second 10 none. We should not
be surprised, west Of Wichita and south OF

VOLUME TWELVE.


With this number. THE EAGLE enters
upon Its twelfth year, year opening with
the most fattering prospects for u and for
our old friends and patrons. a year which
promises a growth and substantial progress
for Wichita, aud an increased prosperity
and stock growers within the borders OF
the county, such as no former year has wit
messed.
From the beginning, almost, through
sunshine and shadow, through prosperity
and failure THE EAGLE has been with the
people OF this city and county. under prac.
tically the same proprietorship, never fal.
tering In its faith in the ultimate triumph
which now dawns so brightly that II cam
not be mistaken.
The claim that The EAGLE has been an
important factor in the growth of Wichita,
and In the speedy settlement and rapid de-
velopment Of Sedgwick county, none will
deny. Its faith in the final outcome was
not attributable so much TO its editors
wisdom, perhaps, as 10 his experience and
observation. Reinforced by these, nor
grasshoppers, nor drouths, nor floods OF
hailstorms could swerye or deter him from
offering, at all times, words OF encourage.
ment, and from ever holding up the bright.
est side Of the picture.
As 10 the future we have no promises ia

The EAGLE grows older and financially
