WE DON'T KNOW.

We don't wish TO be inquisitive about this
matter, but we would like for the Wichita
EAGLE and several other papers in the valley
to explain why they always term killing at
Caldwell "a cold-blooded murder and
when the same thing is done at another
town, they term it "a justifable homicide"
or "a desperate shot by officers" 1t may
be from force of habit and not for spite or
intentional Misrepresentation as 1t appears
to us. The EAGLE calls the unfortunate at
fair that occurred here lately ''cold-blood-
ed murder" and distorts facts in the case to
carry out its first proposition. This is an
Injustice to our citizens as well as to our
officers, ard no paper has the right to thus
injure them. 1t may not have been inten-
tional, but it appears so to man OF average
ntellgence--Caldwell Journal.
The Journal is assured that there was no
intention to misrepresent, and there was no
prejudice or feeling upon the part Of the
EAGLE whose information was had of citi-
zen of Wichita who happened to be in Cald-
well when the marshal and his assistant
killed the COW boy. 1t seemed to us mighty
tough affair. There is in fact, no excuse for
killing man who is unarmed and surround
ed BY officers who are armed. We know
none of the parties personally, but it does
seem to us that two armed officers might
have secured a siugle man and he drunk,
without splitting his blood.

WILL CLEvELAND'S ELECTION
RESTORE PROSPERITY?

To the Editor of the EAGLE:
The Republican campaign speakers be-
fore election told the working men OF the
country that if the government was handed
over to the Democrats it would result in the
permanent reduction Of the wages OF the
producing classes. This prediction is CON-
ing true much sooner than those who utter
ed it anticipated. Almost every daily paper
published now contains reports Of reduc-
tons in wages going on in different depart
ments of business. Many manufacturers
are furnishing work for their employees on
ly part of the time. and others are closing
up entirely. There is large proportion OF
the manufacturers of the country who have
been carving on their business without
profits for some time, and many of them at
least during the last year or two, have kept
running under the impression that the cleo
ton would decide the question as TO whether
we were to have any further reduction OF
duties on foreign imports or not. The cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland is practical endorse
ment by the msjority Of the people of the
country, of a reduction of the tariff policy;
at least the manufacturers regard it as leav-
ing the question still in doubt as to what
policy is to be pursued in regard to our pro-
tective system. The high rate our manufac-
turers are paying their employees renders 1t
impossible for them to come into competi-
ton with foreigners without high tariff.
Therefore they say if the tariff is to be redu-
ced, they can only keep their facto ries going
by reducing the wages Of their employees.
For q week or two after election the impress
sion went abroad that the next congress
would be so organized that there would be
no further reduction Of duties. But is is
now ascertained that such members of con-
gress % Morrison, of ILL.,, Hewitt and
Cox, of New York, are determined
10 push through scheme for further re-
duction of duties At the coming session Of
congress. The reports coming from Wash.

MALADMINISTRATION.
Kansas First Experience With the
Party of Spells.

About the silliest thing the Democrats
can do is to claim that thee are innocent Of
Pusey's defalcation. The facts are that they
were in daily intercourse with him and knew
perfectly well what he was doing. The
truth is that they took the drinks and ate
the oysters, knowing that Pusey paid the
bills with stolen money.-Leavenworth
Times.
There are few reconstructed Democratic
editors in Kansas who have done nothing
but slobber over Clicks administration and
denounce the &C. o. p" The truth is, that
during Kansas two years experience under
Democratic rule there has been more jobs,
more extra and uncalled for expenses, and a
greater number Of steals than under any five
Republican administrations II the state
since its existence. The Pussy defalcation
or forgery is only one Of the things
which have very unpleasant look
about that penitentiary. There is
another thing. The entire stock
in trade if these same editors for the last
campaign was the oft repeated assertion
that the state institutions had all been prac-
tically put under non-psrtizan control;that is,
Click had put his democratic patriots in as
fast as he could find chances. One OF these
institutions is the State Normal school. We
have it, and from good authority, that
Clicks board, some time this fall, trans
ferred all the endowment lands of that state
school to asyndicate or tc a bark president
for the nominal price Of SO per acre, and
that the purchaser proceeded to New York,
where be placed them in innocent purchas-
ers hands, so that they are beyond The
control of the state. To talk about Republic
can corruption in the face of all the cues
tionable transactions and extraordinary e1-
penses Of Clicks administration involves no

GOOD ADVICE.

Secretary Chandler, who is clear headed
man and sterling Republican issued an nd
dress to his fellow Republicans Of New
Hampshire:
If, after twenty-four years of national
power the republican party is now to sur
render the government to Democratic con-
troll, it can point to a marvellous record OF
success and patriotism. 1t took the govern
ment from the Democrats in 1861, with an
empty treasury, 6pers cent United States
bonds selling at SO, and money only to be
borrowed al II per cent; with slavery STAIN
ing the nations honor; the whole south
in rebellion in arms against the author
ity of the federal union, and the Democrat
ic leaders aiding the revolt. 1t will sur
render the government, having put
down the Democratic slave holders rebel
lion, abolished slavery, paid the S6,0Oo,0Oo,-
600 expenses of the war; reduced the nation
al debt from its highest point of $685.
900 600 in August, 1865, to 81, 426,OOO,OOO in
October, 1884, with the annual interest
charge reduced from $15l, 100000 to $751;
COX. 900, with the rate of interest 8 per cent,
and with S425 100000 in the treasury, OF
which $685., 100000 are gold and silver. II
took the country with its property valued at
SI4, OO0, OO0, 600. 1t will surrender it with a
valuation Of $4,000, 100000. 1t has saved
the nations integrity and honor by the valor
of its soldiers, and maintained its prosperity
by establishing protective Tariff. Surely
no citizen need be ashamed that he has been
a Republican during this period of national
growth and glory. One may well have re-
grets if he has been q Democrat and an OPP
ponent of all the great and noble schiey-
ments of the last twenty-four years.

A HIGH OLD TIME.

The Topeka Journal Democrstic) at
tacks our Bailey Waggener, who aspires TO
he United States district attorney. The
journal favors w. c. Perry, Of Fl. Scott,
vino, it SAYS. spent his time and money
during the campaign for the success Of tne
Democratic ticket" The Journal wants to
know what Mr.. Waggener was doing during
the campaign.
The Kansas City Times publishes an ar
ticle favoring General Chss- W. Blair, OF
Kansas, for the position Of Secretary Of the
Interior. This is the place which Governor
Clicks friends have been asking for him, and
which the governor, it is alleged, very much
desires. The.Democrstic party is divided
into two hostile camps, one recognizing the
governor as chief, and the other rallying
around Gen. Blair. The latter is the MEM
Der of the Democrat national committee
for Kansas. The great, absorbing question
TO be decided, is: Who shall control the
Federal patronage for Kansas, Click or
Blair. Ii is stated that, with the probable
exception of Tom Fenlon, the Blair party
has captured most Of the prominent Demo-
Gratis of the state, and is backed by the
Democratic state central committee. Gov.
Click, ii is said, is ssolid" with Hendricks,
but doubt prevails as to how much lnfu-
ence the garrulous Indiana statesman is go
ing TO have with Cleveland. A dim, dull
suspicion begins to haunt the minds Of
Democratic aspirants that Hendricks may
not be "solid" with his chief.
There is 'small cloud in the sky, that
threatens to spread, connected with the es-
adjustment of Democratic paper at To-
peka. The scheme was TO purchase the Cap
i.al and change its politics. The Journal
kicks at the attempt TO ignore 1t, and has
announced that ii. will publish morning
edition after the LIST of january. II is sad
that Gov. Click is prominently identified
With this Democratic scheme for the pur-
chase of the Capital, and the Journals en-
dorsement of Perry, who belongs to the
Blair faction, gives color to this suspicion

Fool Democrat editors here and there are

Wood is and always was a financial failure.
The people want no mugwump currency or

who favors the abandonment of our present

MpcULLOCH'S REPORT.

The new secretary of the treasury issues
state paper from his department which is a
document of considerable length and COM
prebensive in character. He declares that
our foreign trade demands attention. He
advises the appointment of a commission to
investigate the tariff question and gather in
formation on these subjects. He believes ii
the condition of our foreign trade was thor
oughly understood there would be greater
uneasiness in the public mind than now ex-
lists. This commission he thinks should as
sumo that the tariff on raw materials should
be removed and reduced on articles of ne
cessty the reductions should be slow and
gradual. In regard to internal revenue tax
es, he declares that with the exception of
the tax on whisky, it ought not and will not
be needed for revenue if appropriations are
kept within reasonable bounds, and econ
omy is established in all branches of public
service. and he can see no good reason for
their continuance. He also declares tina:
taxes on tobacco should be removed: The
tax upon alcohol used in manufacturing, he
thinks also should be abolished.
Regarding silver coinage, he says ::
After giving the subject careful
consideration, have been forced to the
conclusion that Unless both the coinage Of
silver dollars and issue of silver certificates
is suspended, there is danger that silver and
no, gold may become our metallic standard
and severe contraction result, but whatever
might be the effect of the suspension of
coinage upon the commercial value of silver,
Il is very clear that coinage cannot be con-
tinued without being detrimental to general
business and danger to the national credit.
The coinage of silver dollars nnder the act
of February %, 1878, has now reached the
very large amount of 1874, 1923, being an
increase of 2s,O09, $50 for the year ending
November /, 1884. The amount of these
dollars in actual circulation is 1895, 1876.
The increase in circulation for the year has
only been 1,260,346 against an increase Of
4,l36,32l for the previous year. These
figures of themselves are insuperable argu-
ment against the continued coinage of silver
dollars.
