1t may not be known TO the Republican
politicians Of Sedgwick, Sumner, Kingman,
Harper and Barber counties, or il known
they may not care, but the fact remains all
the same, that the machine, or bosses on
the main line OF the Santa Fe ives, from
Newton, so far as our Congressional Dis
trict matters are concerned, entirely ignore
This section Of the State. They don't seem
to know that there are counties down this

Sedgwicks population will reach not sho.,
OF $4,000 this spring, and Sumner not much

We see by the dispatches that there have
been chosen in Hamilton county delegates
favorable to Judge Peters for congress.
Judge Frost for State senator, and A. J..
Hoisington and ]. W. Ady for delegates to
the Chicago convention, all living along
the string. Stafford county has also elected
delegates favorable to Peters, Hoisington

CHARITY AND ADVERTISING.

Some very good people are disposed to
criticise the "display" made by Sedgwick
county over her immense contribution OF
thirty-one ears of cars to the flooded suffer-
ers OF the Ohio Valley. They quote some
scripture about not letting one hand know
what the other is up to, etc. Probably the
fault-fnders seek in this way to convey the
impression that they have done as much as
anybody in Sedgwick county, but have kept
still about it. But We'll venture that the
hungry ones found no fault with Sedgwick
county for killing two birds with one stone
relieving distress and advertising Kansas
in general and the Arkansas Valley in par
ticular at the same time. Referring to these
criticisms. the Topeka Capital says: exam.
sas is peculiar; il is the central State in the
Union; it is an empire. Kansas raises big
crops. The State is but little older than
a good-sized boy, yet her senators tackle
grave questions at Washingon-ope of them
is enough to get favorable vote on a fifty
thousand dollar appropriation for the bene-
fit of his people, inside OF forty-eight hours,
and her greenest members in the house
stand up to such old stagers as Eaton, Cox
and Reagan and she grows good cattle and
hogs, and her farmers are getting rich, aud
her big railroad is carrying passengers to
the city of Mexico and-what's wrong, then,
if she does make little noise and tell folks
where her corn is growing? Kansas came
to stay, and she wants her neighbors to
know where to find Wiison County
Clisen.

the SPECIAL SESSION.

The legislature has passed two bills, one
for the appointment of a veterinary surgeon
and the other for the protection of cattle.
The surgeon is appointed by the governor
and confirmed by the senate, for two years,
at salary Of $500. He is to investigate
sill cases OF contagious diseases among ami
mails and report to the Live Stock Sanitary
Commission.
The second bill appoints, in the same
way, a Sanitary Commission of three per-
sons, term Of Office, three years. They are
given full power to act In all cases of con-
tagioas cattle diseases. Animals killed are
to be paid for as provided in the law. All
cases Of contagion are to be reported to the
commission and to the sheriff; the sheriff
can establish temporary quarantine regula-
tions. Persons bringing disc ased animals
into the State, or who shall prevent an ex-
animation Of suspected cattle, or who shall
allow affected cattle 10 run at large, or who
shall sell or ship them sill these are subject
to & fine ranging from 500 to $500. The
commission can give bills of health for cat
tie that have been recovered.
Killed cattle are paid for on a certificate
IRON lne commission TO the State Auditor.
The law applies only to contagious and in
fictitious diseases. The members of the
receive 90 per day and travel
Ing expenses. The governor shall issue
proclama alton on the breaking out of any
such disease. Owners Of stock yards are
10 have them inspected. The act
does not apply to sheep aud hogs except
when affected or exposed to foot and mouth
diseases, nor to cattle when affected by
spanish or Texas fever.-Hiawatia World. |

SECRETARY OF STATE.

We understand that Hon. L. b. Allen, Of
Wichita, will be candidate before the Re.
publican convention for Secretary Of State
III so, We want to say that no man in the
State, SO faras our knowledge extends, il
more worthy or competent TO fill that posi-.
ton. Nor is there 4 man more deserving
of the support Of the Republicans Of this
State. He is the present representative Of
the Wichita district in the legislature, and
has friends in every county who viii be
glad to assist him to a nomination.-W We'll.
isct0nSds.
Candidates are coming to the surface for
State officers. Old friendship is renewed
and each fellow planning a sure race.
Prominent in the list for Secretary of State,
is the names of DIR. Allen, OF Wichita, and
Geo. 0rner, of Barber county. Either of
these gentlemen will satisfy the southwest,
and a representation on the State ticket
rightfully belongs to us. The trouble with
this section of the State in failing to secure
important State and national officers and
fairly representation, is because we are
never united.
Contested delegation, SCRABBLE to be on
top, or no go. Splits and disaffections have
entered into every convention, and the sec
ton that was solid carried the nominations.
We now have two candidates for Secretary
Of State, one must get out Of the way and
clear the field or we will suffer defeat. Dr.
Allen is man OF extensive acquaintance
throughout the State and fully capable.
MIR. 0rDer is cared for in lucrative govern
ment appointment, and being 4 true blue,
will not stand in the way. The most avail
able man should be selected, then let us
stand by him, and present solid front for
the man from the southwest.-Kingman
Citisen-RepebLiean.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
COTTONWOOD, OHIO, March DC, ls

COTTONWOOD, OHIO, March %, 1884.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Fearing may lose one number OF your
valuable paper, unless 1 remit, 1 therefore
respond at once to your demands and in.
close postal note for o., and hope this may
be o X for the present.
Will you permit me to express my opin-
ion, as well as the opinion of others of this
country concerning the cattle disease OF
your State? This disease, or something
very similar, was prevailing in Northern
Ohio some years ago, and some dealers or
owners Of stock lost 50, some 30, aud some
20 per cent. OF their stock. But this disease
was not contagious, neither do think the
foot and mouth disease ESQ calledD with you
is contagious. l think when the cattle are
turned out and get their living upon mass
they will be al right again. Cattle here at
that time, that were affected with this dis
ease, would stand at the rack or manger and
eat with their natural appetite up to within
one or two days Of their death. This dis
ease was discovered to be from cattle eat
ing hay with ergot upon it, which is similar
to smut on grain. As was at that time
farming i know of more or less Of this
among my neighbors' stock, and firmly
believe you will see no more of this dread
ed cattle plague when feeding time is over.

TINE STATE COW DOCTOR.

1t is a glorious thing TO be In the mi nor
ity, especially when the minority Is in the
right. Nearly all Of the influential papers
Of the state fell in with the cry for an extra
session OF the legislature, which resulted
In a state cow doctor at $500 per annum
and expenses, and commission CT three
and expenses, and law which gives these
four men power to kill whole herds of
cattle at the expense of the state. That
extra session was an awful foolish blunder;
the first one ever called, and called too BY
the first democratic governor the state ever
had. In weak way, the papers that
urged him on are now trying to sustain the
action, but it is no use. II half Of the peo-
pie OF Wichita or any other city had been
afflicted with contagious disease, no
extra session Of the legislature would been
thought OF, no state physician appointed
or commission raised; but few old aka
lied cows with sore feet up on the Neosho
bottoms made the pretext for not only an
extra legislature but four extra officers,
one of whom 1t seems played it upon the
credulity Of all hands only that he might
secure fat Office. with nothing to do but
run around at the expense Of this state and
examine the sores OF old cows.

DON'T KNOW II.

We wonder If the Fish Commissioner of
Kansas knows that the third longest river
in North America flows through his own
state and that that stream is not the Kaw,
up and down which he wanders. The Big
and Little Arkansas rivers, the Walnut
river and the Nennescah river, tributaries,
have waited long on Long, and is still
waiting on Giles, or whatever his name is,
for fish eggs. The people down this way,
many OF them, consider that the Fish Com.
missioner foolishness is only equalled In
expense by the COW doctor nonsense.

With an editor at Wichita who writes
''palengenesis" verses, and preacher who
discourses on "entities" and "environ-
ments," we see no reason why bean cul-
ture should not speedily become one of the
leading industries of Sedgwick county
Neus.
As crop the common bean does not
produce the requisite blow for this latitude.
The castor variety, we should judge, would
work well in the Neosho bottoms, and we
heartily recommend them to the editor of

From two or three sources We have
learned that Kingman county Republicans
believe themselves entitled TO the State
senatorship from this district, as they have
never filled the Office yet and as Sedgwick
has several times. Hon. Frank Gillett, the
present representative from that county is
spoken OF as the man whom Kingman would
in all probability put forward. So far as
s. dgwick county is concerned, we doubt If
the-r would be an objection. We have not
heard of q single candidate in this county
although we have many men who would fll
the position with honor to thems es and

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

Washington Free Press: In our rounds
last week We met Hon. Harry E. Norton, a
prominent member OF the Democratic State
Central Committee of Kansas, and a
thorough business man Of Emporia. MIR.
Norton in the course Of his conversation
dropped upon the presidential question; he
said the Democrats had many good men in
their party, but that II Senator John j. In.
gals was nominated for president he would
vote for him and do all in his power to elect
him, as he believed him to be the noblest
man in the Republican party. Mr.. Norton
is among the foremost of his party in the
State, and could have been elected governor
but declined the honor. This may show
