A NATIONAL. bankrupt Act will prob
ably be passed during this session of
Congress. Senator Hoar has intro
duced The bill which was drawn by
Judge Lowell, of Massachusetts, at the
request of the Eastern Boards of Trade.
The new law will resemble the old one
in most of its provisions, the principal
difference being that the executive
officers will. be the County Sheritls,
ipstead, of UniteehStates Marshals, and
she omissipn,of the composition clause.
The. proceedings under composition
4howedtoo much latitude to dishonest
debtors, and the dissatisfaction arising
from this was the strongest motive of
those who voted for the repeal of the
old Act. As it is required by the Con
stitution that national bankrupt Acts
shall, be uniform, it is doubtful
whether. HaBs, bin will pass without
amendment in the partieulanrelatipg to
Sheriffs, as each State. has its own meth.
DDS of procedure, and the Sheritls, act
ing under State laws, would render
the general operation of the Act non,

BLINDED BY SIN.

The Wichita EAGLE in commenting upon
the recent municipal election In that place.
says the "Republicans OF Wichita can nom
mate for mayor such men ms W. s. Corbett,
A. W. Oliver, Johnny Allen, A. A. Hyde
or twenty Others whom we could name, and
elect either-not As prohibitionist, not as
Methodist Presbyterian, or A. an Episco-
palian, not as an anti-corporationist or
protectionist, but simply Us a Republican,
The EAGLE, in spite OF its caution, gets OF
once in while, as 1t has In the above. We
remember time when w. S. Corbett was
nominated as the Republican candidate for
mayor, but because he happened to belong
TO the Presbyterian church, such Method
lists as Deacon Barney Smith, William Eu-
gene Stanley, and even the very reverend
John Kerby, the EAGLE mans patron saint,
turned out and worked against Corbett's
election, because he was a Presbyterian.
They may have been aetua,ed by other mo-
SO, they were undoubtedly Of baser ma
ture. No, Mr.. EAGLE, so long AS the de-
nomnational spirit is kept up In Wichita
as it has been in the past, and so long as
quarter OF a dollar looks larger than the
Saviour TO the average Wichita professor
Of religion, there is no use to talk about
party nominations for local officers. Wich-
ita, we are confident, is Republican on
State and National issues, but when it
comes TO local affairs, principle and politics
must give way to religious and local jeal-
ousies and the material interests Of the
place.-CaldweH Commercial.
We very much fear our old orthodox
friend IL blinded by sin or prejudice. sure
ly the persons named would not act from
such unworthy motives. Besides Corbett
never was nominated by the Republican
marty. a. a candidate for mayor.

whom Click appointed judge Of the Third
district, in place of Morton, IL seems 10 not
particularly afraid Of the Democratic party
or Of anybody else. In liquor case before
him, when IL came to charging the jury he
used the following language:
"You are not authorized by law, or any
sentiment Of duty, 10 resort to any bubbles,
shifts, devices or strained construction of
either the law, or testimony in the case,
for the purpose of either conyicting or ac-
quitting the defendant; but your delibera-
lions should be conducted In spirit OF cam
dor and fairness and for the purpose Of
arriving at the truth. Courts Of justice
cannot, under any circumstances, counte-
nance or support the administration of the
law upon the basis Of falsehood, injustice,
hypocricy, shams or subterfuges OF any
description. You may believe the law to

aud might be inclined to agree with you
but whether 1t be wise or foolish, whether
II be just or unjust is not matter which
you or myself can consider in the discharge
OF our official duties. To do so would be
dangerous to all public and private inter-
ests, subversive Of social order, productive
OF anarchy and confusion, compromise Of
individual honor, and reflection upon our
official integrity. As court or jurors We
have nothing to do with the question OF the
wisdom or folly, the policy or impo,icy OF
any law. Those questions belong to other
departments Of government, and the duty
OF correcting all wrongs OF this character
must be RENTED to the law-making power.
Our duties are simply TO obey, and to fear

chased fine line of millinery goods, which
will be on exhibition as soon as their build

articles.

the GOOD FAITH OF THE BOOMERS.

To the Editor the Eagie:
DOUGLAS, KAN, April 10th, 1883.
In your last weeks EAGLE see a very
lengthy letter headed, "Oklahoma again."
written by some person, and signed 'H.
r. Hagerty." In said letter are some very
grave charges against myself and others,
but on account OF the character of the
tool who has signed, or allowed his name
TO be signed to the letter referred to, will
not stoop SO low as TO answer. II is so full
OF false statements that the writer does
not dare sign his own name that he has to
employ a tool, who has anything buta sa-
worry reputation for honesty, truth or ve-
racity. IL the real author OF the letter had
had the manliness to sign his own name,
and his reputation were as good rs that Of
n common cur, would reply to the charges
made in said letter, but as il is will not
and shall leave the question, as to whether
or not We acted In good faith, to those who
were with us on our late trip to Oklahoma.

the other day, and a reporter OF the Times
interviewed him on Kansas matters.
Among other things he said ''ihe present
prosperity of Kansas was due to the down
fall Of fanaticism and st. John lie said
Geo. X. Peck would probably be the next
governor; that the railroad commission
would end in u farce that Ingalls, would
be his own successor, and Dudly Haskell
and Perkins would not be reelected that
sam Wood would be given Peters seat. I"
We don't want to believe that sam Wood
will represent our people in Congress, and
we can'tthink that Congress will dare throw
Judge Peters out in face OF his splendid en-
dor.ement by the people, but in the matter
of Ingalls, return ae is about as near cor
rect n IL is possible 10 get. Nobody can
beat Ingalls, for Senator, though several
persons will SHE their casters into the ring.

BLOOD WILL TELL.

Hon. u. W. Wilder writes a column re-
view in the Worid Of Senator Ingalls, lee
ture on Garfield, delivered at Hiawatha.
which be winds up by saying: "No other
Senator, no other American, has made such
an imperishable portrait of Garfield The
World says that the speaker said, Garfield
was a self-made man. TO which Gen. Wilder
dissents, and which dissent we would en-
phasize had we the ability. "Blood will
tell' we are convinced, and the boy, the
unborn infant for that matter, is the man.
However unpopular the idea, the truth Isl
the WashiDgtons, Napoleons, Lincolns,
Grants, the poets, statesmen, warriors ana
diyines, who have been illustrious, were
born such. The opportunity necessary TO
put them In history may never occur, aud
"mute Millions" and "inglorious Crom-
wells" live and die by thousands In every
age unnoticed, but they are capable, glo-
rious aud great men all the same. Every
State and nearly every community has
them. Wilder truthfully says:
Nobody is self-msde, 1t is a subject on
which the growing boy or man Is hardly
consulted. The acron makes an oak and
can't be a juniper. The instinct, nature.
born with baby and as much part of
him as his eyes, makes him seek books or
beggars, learning or loafers, and he is alb
solutely helpless in changing that natural
bent. God makes Lincolns and Garfields,
and makes them to triumph. Their rising
in every adverse circumstance can no more
be stopped than you can change the oak
plant into a sunflower by reading books TO
il. Cuyler's brain weighed sixty ounces,
Napoleon's and Webster's fifty-seven. They
made them, Of course. II the 'self-made'
nonsense were true it would be as applica.
BILE to Guiteau MS to Garfield. There are
several men who would be Jay Goulds If
they could make it, The pagans were
nearer right in this matter than we are.
They credited great attributes to the gods,
and when their heroes died threw them in-
10 the heavens among the immortal con-
stellatons."

Not long since, Y. Matson concluded be

White river, in Arkansas. About the time
he got to the "Whiie river" over In Butler
county, he happened to see Wichita EA-
GLE and read an article on the Arkansas

of him, and he "about-faced" for Kingman

and let those fellows take care of their own

a MISTAKE.


II 10 said that the railroads are building a
special car for the use of the commissioners.
II that Is 80 IL is mistake, and If the com
missioner should consent TO use 1t, the
mistake will prove one which win work
much harm. We don't care how plausible
the arguments for the necessity OF such a
car, the use OF IL by the commissioners will
destroy the confidence that the people have
reposed in the men constituting the board.
An ordinary train or an ordinary car run
ms 4 special is good enough for the COM
mission, who should be neither the parti-
san of the railway interests or Of the peo-
pie, but triune tribunal sworn TO do exact
justice Ms between the people and the cor
porations. II was an inexcusable blunder
upon the part Of the legislature, to provide
that the railroads should pay the salaries OF
the commissioners, but its members must
never feel that they are under any obliga-
tions 10 the railroads.
