SluSS AND HARRIS.

There is Democratic daily published at
Topeka, which since Clicks elevation TO
the Goyernorship of Kansas, has managed
TO make its squeaks heard at times, but IL
is almost sure TO put its noise in at the
wrong place. This Democratic pepper last
week wanted TO make point for Judge
Harris, 30 shut its eyes and fired away with
the worst fool howl possible for Its man, by
declaring that Siuss has been railroad at

point against II. Z. Sluss passes our CON-
prehension. OF all the men In the last leg

ANOTHER lMDEpEnpEmr pEnocRAr

The announcement Of Judge Harris we
clip from theeWichits EAGLE. and while
We have not word to say against the
Judges integrity or ability, II Is still our
painful duty to inform him that he stands
no show Of getting there on an indepen-
dent platform. The Judge Is lifelong,
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, and got his APP
pointment because Of his loyalty to the par
ty and especially 10 Gov. Click. To his ap-
pointment We had not the slightest objec-
ton. Gov. Click did no more than the
square thing by Mr.. Harris in making the
appointment, but then, for the Judge TO at
tempt to ring In now as an independent,
comparison; it's too thin, Judge, too ex.
ceedingly thin. And, then, the simon pure
Of Barber county won't indorse you, Judge
In such proceeding, for they have resolv-
ed that none but Democrats shall be on
guard. Don't lose your position in the
ranks, Judge, 10 go skirmishing around on
uncertainties, because IL you do, you will
throw away all opportunities for the future.
II you stick right TO the text, there may
accidentally be another Democratic Govern
or elected sometime, and another judicial
district formed and you may get the ap-
pointment for judge again but II you try
to rub OF the moss now, which has SO long
chung to your spinal column, and come In
as half-breed, you will be left like an an
cicnt maverick, to wander unclaimed on
the political range, while Henry c. Sluss,
whom We all know as thoroughbred, will

WILLIAM TEcUMSEH.

The EAGLE has been OF the mind for some
time that Gen. w. I. Sherman is the man
above all others for the Republicans to
nominate as their standard bearer next
year, There il no other such figure. Hon.
est. rough and ready, patriot and hero
the soldier and the citizen would rally to
his name with the irresistible sweep o,
Grants first campaign, or the enthusiasm
OF ..log cabin and hard CIDER days. Sher.
man is not only the soldiers ideal and the
citizens patriot, but he is at heart with the
great masses of the people. lie hates the
shams Of Goldfish aristocracy and denounce,
the toadyism OF Washington official life in
n manner that wins the love and respect o.
plain aud honest people. There are a
least an hundred reasons why William
Tecumseh Sherman should be, and proba
bly, will be, the nominee of the Republican
party for President, among others the car

SUNDAY DECENCy.

President Arthur has set first-class ex-
ample for everybody to follow in the re-
spect shown to Sunday on his present tour.
He declined to start on Sunday, and his first
Sunday on the road was passed quietly at
Green River, Wyoming Territory. The OBJ
servance OF sunday as day Of rest from
worldly wear and tear is no less advantage
Gus physically than it is mentally and NOR
ally. and We are glad to see the President
throwing the influence of his example up
on the right side. Every inroad that is
made upon Sunday as day Of rest is di-
rect reduction OF the productive power,
physical or mental, OF the workers who
abridge its rest. The law OF rest is no less
imperative than the law Of work.-Spring-

AN EXPLANATION DEMANDED

We protest. In an associate press dis
patch, sent out from Wichita, Wednesday,
concerning the immense corn crop Of that
county, the press agent coolly informs us
that should the ears be placed end to end
they would reach all the way from Wichita
to Cairo, Egypt, via LoRlon. In the Wich-
ita EAGLE, Of Thursday, (the editor Of the
EAGLE is the associate press AGENT, the
statement Is made that the ears laid end to
end would reach from Wichita to London
This Is imposing on the credulity Of the
public. If the EAGLE Palingenesis man
says Egypt, and sticks to 1t, we are forced
to believe him, as there could be no object
in lying about eight or ten thousand miles I;
but as he says Cairo in the dispatches, and
London in his paper, we must protest. We
swallowed the 106 bushels-to-the-acrc oats
story, the 1855 pound catfish yarn, with
some mis.ivings, to be sure, and are trying
to bolt the 1lo-bushei-corn lie, but we can't
get over the slight discrepancy between
London and Cairo. Everybody believes
that sedgwick county will harvest nine
million bushels of corn this fall, beeause
the EAGLE says so; and no one disputes
that after the crop Is gathered . rail fence
forty-seven feet high will have to be built
around the entire county to furnish crib
rsom, leaving over million bushels to be
piled up In adjoining counties, but to say
that even the stalks upon which the corn IL
grown, IL put end to end, would reach 10
the land where Joseph went to get some
thing to eat, Is spreading IL on rather too
thick. As the poet OF the Nile OF America
truly says:
ssFades the dream Of old Egypt's stream
with ages hoary-
Psles the charm Of Africa's wonderful
story,
ID the presence Of Quisari's lonely glory,
And shadowless Genesis
