YES. WE WILL.

"Let the EAGLE tell us how many men
outside OF the Office holders are benefited
by the success of the arty;'-Beaeon.
II is only too plain that you Democrats
take no higher view OF the party than the
spoils and offices. That's what's the matter
with your party and what has always been
the trouble. When your party could no
longer run the country and III its offices,
you seceeded. After you were whipped
back yon have done nothing but howl
about Office spoils and collars ever since.
Even when because Of the trouble over pro-
hibition Click was elected Governor by
Republican votes, he could think OF moth
ing, nor has be did anything, but kick Re
publicans out TO give Democrats office.
A large majority Of the people Of this
country see great benefit in party success
outside Of tho offices, whether the Demo
cratic leaders do or not, because of which
benefits they have kept the Republican
party in power.

JUST LIKE KANSAS.

The Kansas City Tmes, in acknowiedg.
ing the receipt of copy of the report Of
our State board Of railroad assessors, says
" The statement, like all other things per.
tanning to the administration OF the govern.
ment OF Kansas, is very full and explicit.
There is great deal Of Information rela-
tive to the railroads given in the detail, and
the document is worth studying by every
one," And the Atchison Champion adds
"The State reports Of Kansas have been
for years past lore complete than those of
any other State in the Union. And this
fact, we think, is due largely to two men,
the late Alfred Gray, aud ex-Auditor ID. w.
Wilder, who inaugurated system which
has been followed by their successors, and
adopted by all other State officers. Fifteen
years ago II was almost impossible to ascer-
tain any important Tact, or anything that
anybody wanted information about, from
the annual report Of State officer. Now
these reports embody everything any one
wants to know concerning the business OF
the State.''

THE RAILROADS AND TINE LAW.

l.. N Turner, one of the railroad COM
missioners, Who lives in Chautauqua
county, informs the Sedan Journal that
twcniy-nine complaints had been filed with
the commissioners up 90 the time he left
Topeka last week. Most OF those com
plants allcge exhorhiiant charges in indi-
vidual cases. and a ruling upon them does
not establish any general principle eompre-

the railroads are not aniagonizing the law

AWFUL FLOODS.

The most disastrous floods ever known In
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys are
now immi nent. The great rivers of the
west are nearly all above the danger line,
levees and banks are being broken, houses
being washed away and railway travel i'm
peded, and IN addition to this state OF affairs
the June rise Is about due, which added to
the present high waters caused by rain,
would devaste the better portion Of a half
dozen States. Already the bottoms east Of
st. Louis. in Illinois, and for two hundred
miles up and down il one vast lake.
No trains have crossed the Kansas City
bridge for ten days and the mails have been
delayed.
The dispatches from st. Louis yesterday
say, the river has risen three inches and is
still coming M slowly. No particular
change In the situation this side OF the
river. The whole OF the levee Is now sub
merged, and in the lowest places the first
floors Of the stores are flooded from q few
inches to q couple Of feet. Business in the
houses on the river front is entirely sus-
pended, except in two or three doggeriee,
whore seanolds have been built and whisky

A RAILROAD LAND.

given permission 10 Syrian syndicate TO
build railroad from Acre, on the Medit-

south Of the Sea Of Gaiilee. and thence TO
Damascus. This, however. is not all. An
English company has actually been organ
lied for the purpose of cutting canal from
Acre Ia Jordan; Of cutting smother canal
from the Dead sea 10 the Gulf of Akabah,
on the Red sea; Of flooding the lower Jor-
dan, and by these means of making new
waterway between the elst and the west.
In these schemes desecration seems to have

The Ferocity of Tigers,

A traveller tells the following story Of
the way in which one tiger terrorized q
whole community:
The Captain showed me the skin of a
large tiger, which, short time since.
killed three natives In four nights in
this place. The village is surrounded
by stockade to keep out these raven
GUS beasts, and the gate is guarded at
night by native armed with a musket.
One evening this tiger stole UP be-
hind the guard, sprang upon him, and,
as native said who CHANGED to see it.
l&lled him instantly with blow of her
paw on the back of his neck. She then
caught him up and ran away with him.
The next day the body was found,
partly eaten, and was buried very deep
to keep it out Of her reach.
The second evening she seized and
carried off.a native who was bathing at
the foot Of the cliff. The Captain now
found he must try and destroy her. and
therefore loaded musket with very
heavy charge of powder and two bull
lets. The gun was then lashed firmly
to tree, and a large piece of fresh
meat was fastened to the muzzle, so
that when she attempted to take it
away, she would discharge the piece
and receive both bullets. The next
morning they found piece of her
tongue on the ground near the muzzle
of the gun, and the same trap was set
again; but the next night she came
back and took away second man on
guard at the gate of the stockade.
The Captain now started, with cor
poral and eight men, determined to
hunt her down. They tracked her to
place filed with tall grass, and, closing
around that, slowly advanced, until two
or three of them heard growl, when
they all fired and killed her instantly.
1t proved to be female, and she Lad
evidently been so daring for the our
pose of procuring food for her younc.

rerra.,,orta Lumber.

A remarkable material called sierra
Gotta lumber" has recently been
brought to notice In England It is
composed of the top layer of fire-clay
beds and sawdust, exposed to heat and
pressure. Slabs, bricks and boards of
any shape can be nodded from it, and it
is capable of being cut by edge tools,
pierced by nails, sawn and otherwise
manipulated, just as wood is. But the
strangest feature about it is that it
stands, without any apparent effect
upon it, more intense heat than fire.
clay will bear; and for lining furnaces,
for bridge walls in smelling furnaces
and other places of exposure to great
heat it will be valuable and almost
inexpensive substitute for asbestos.
Water seems to have no destructive in
fuence upon it. Its weight is about
that of an equal mass of cinder, and its
color varies from light buff to fierce sal
mon. No doubt it Will be found of
great value for building purposes.

A Silent Partner.

At supper one evening Mr.. Topnoo-
dy, after praising his wife's fire biscuits
and good coffee, began to talk on mu-
nicipal affairs, in hopes that Mrs. T.
would take hand, and she did.
my DEAR" he said, "do you know
the city is going to appropriate 81, OOO,-
600 to clean and repair the streets"
Il did see something about an appro-
priation, or whatever you call it, and a
man named Ingalls,, but 1 thought it
was something going on in Congress, or
the Senate, or Cabinet or something 2"
Il believe so, but this matter is right
here at home, and I'm glad to see the
prospect of an era of reform and clean
illness, because we need it, not only in
the streets, but everywhereselse."
Are you ready to do your share in
cleaning the city, Topnoody?"
GAY, that I am, ready and willing;
more, L am eager to do my humble por-
ton, and he swelled all up with munic-
ipal patriotism.
Very well, then, Topnoody, go out
there in the backyard and begin. It's
too dirty to think of, and I've been at
you ever since last spring to help your
poor, struggling wife in her efforts to
make your surroundings respectable. I
like to see you men blow about clean
ing the streets, when you leave your
wives to paddle around in ferry boats
in their own back-yards. They are all
alike, Topnoody, and you are more
alike, I believe, than any of the rest Of
them. Bah, at your street cleaning and
your million dollar appropriations,
when, if your wives didn't make you,
you wouldn't even put on clean shirt
oftener than once in three montbsl I
like to hear men talk, but I don't want
to hear anything from you, Topnoody,
until you've disinfected that back yard.
Topnoody is at present only silent
partner. Drummer.
