Director j. Barton Key is going TO try an expert
ment In Baltimore on Saturday in the line Of low
prices for opera. He notifies the public that on
that day, for both the afternoon and.evening per-
formances the scale Of admission will be from 81 so
for the best reserved seats to p cents admission in
the top balcony. All but few Of the best seats
can be secured for SLIGO and IS cents. Mr. Key in
setting these rates. declares that he cannot regard
them as wise, but he means TO try the experiment
TO md out IF it be the cost that Is keeptpc the
public away"
Mr. Key has our sympathies in what seems to be
trying and very expensive dilemma. At the scale
OF prices he feels obliged TO set, the people won't
come. and If he lowers the price to I'LL the house he
cannot pay his troupe il the theater is crowd

A CRANK OR A DEMOCRAT

Some light-headed crank of about the
calibre of st. John by the name of John
Henry, writes letter to one of the Topels
papers charging Col John A Martin with
the defeat of Blaine by..having made j. p. St
John factor in Kansas politics. The same
illogical squirt says further along that had
the national Republican party at Chicago
put prohibition plank into the platform il
would have gained the day. He winds up
his thin sputter by declaring that the Re
publican party must either endorse Prohi-
bition or disband, as the Prohibition party
has come to stay. Such logic is simply over
powering. Suppose the Prohibition party
has come to stay, measured by St Johns
vote in Kansas, it does not amount TO drop
in the bucket But even if it were squarely
in the majority, not only in this state but
throughout all the states, is that any reason
why the Republican party or its principles
should die Why should not the Republi-
can party live for at least quarter century
more backed by its ever living principles and
glorious record, when the Democratic party
with no principles to speak of and an igno-
bic record has not only lived but is now on
top.
The man who says the Republican party
must die is either crank or Democrat of
cranky tendencies

A DAILY AT WELLINGTON

The Wellington Press appeared in daily
edition on Monday. Mr.. Stotler has had a
great deal of experience in running daily
papers. and knows what an expensive luxury
they are, and has therefore no doubt figured
the matter out satisfactorily. When Wich-
TIA was no larger than Wellington there was
for MANY months the strongest possible
pressure brought upon the EAGLE to start a
daily, backed by the offer of fine bonus,
but our judgment could not be over
come. Had We yielded. financial ruin
would have inevitably resulted.
And to-day, was not the present daily back
ed by the profits of the most extensive job
Office in this section of the state, together
with the profits Of the book bindery and the
weekly edition it would be burden if not u
financial ruin. and the EAGLE boasts the
most liberal advertising patrons and enter
prising friends of any daily in the state.
Publishers can figure to their hearts content
but no influential and successful daily has
ever We, been established except through
the expenditure of money, time and
labor, all ungreedingiy dumped in.

THE POLITICAL JUDAS.

The EAGLE has received several letters
begging it to hold up on St John, for the
reason that he was being made martyr.
Our answer is and has been, we will hold up
on St John when We have nothing more to
say, and not before. As to the martyr bust
ness, one cannot make dove of u skunk,
nor will purity and true principle ever be
found on the hide of st. John. He is now
writing whining letters denying that he sold
out in the late campaign, but it looks very
much as if the truth would be brought out.
In the first place. the political sqrt and ad-
venturer said too much at the home of his
nephew, DIR. McLain, in Philadelphia, who
is good strong Republican, and in the
next place, our own national committee
know too much, 10 say nothing of the
knowledge of certain prominent Kansas Re
publicans. But outside of all this a special
to the Globe-Democrat from Washington
dated December Z, says prominent Repub-
lican member of the house said that he was
informed at the National Republican Cen
trail committee rooms, that st. John offered
to get off the track for 100000 The Dem
ocratic National committee heard of it and
took immediate steps to keep him on the
track. Ills name is Judas Prohibition

ABRAHAM'S BOSOM.

The EAGLES editorial political preachers,
which we are sure was very moderate, and
not jocular, brings us lengthy letter from
an imminent divine Of this stale which we
are half inclined to publish, and would but
that If would be a betrayal of confidence.
He pleads guilty, or acknowledges the Bur
chard business, but he devotes about three
pages of manuscript to the mistakes of edi-
tors, in which he does not forget the editor
of the EAGLE. We accept the letter in the
spirit in which it was written, but we cannot
forbear giving what since has been developed
in the Burchard case, and here it is.
Hon. Smith M. Weed, great Cleveland
man of New York, held judgment against
Burchard for $1,000 In short time after
that speech that judgment against the author
of run, romanism and rebellion was Cancelled.
In the aggregate preachers are better than
editors, but the Burchards and Beechers
have done more TO destroy the power of the
pulpit than all the editors put together. As
some writer lately remarks: "a man may
be learned, pious and eloquent without being
good at detecting shams and frauds. The
best OF preachers would probably make very
poor bankers. He could be imposed upon
in all sorts of ways. Forged signatures and
counterfeit money would not only be palmed
off upon him, but fictitious securities. The
training necessary to fit a man for the pull
pit is not such as to render him good de-
tector of hollow pretensions, for his duty is
to obey the leadings of an infallible book.
His chart must be followed implicitly. The
critical faculty may be strong in a preacher,
but what is demanded of him is not TO pre-
sent what he thinks is true in the Bible and
point out supposed errors, but rather to
persuade men to accept it as a practical
guide in life. BY bis attainments in that
line must he be pronounced success or
failure, and not by his sagaeity, or lack of
sagscity, in discerning the adder of Democ-
racy cooled beneath the ferns of political
hypocracy.

Two Men Killed at Cheyenne,
Indian Territory.
The Boomers Not So Strong as Report
ed, and Another Man Killed.

CHEYENNE AGENCY, l. T., Dec. 8, "a.
Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
A shooting affray took place at this Pos
(Ft Reno) on Saturday evening, the 9th
which resulted in the killing of Alex. Wat
kins, a wood chopper, by Peter Kane, bal
tender for the post traders. Watkins wa
intoxicated, and after Kane closed the bar OF
Saturday evening he (Watkins) attempted
to shoot Kane, because he refused to sci
him more beer. Watkins bursted in thu
door and made threats that his purpose wa.
to kill Kane, whereupon Kane shot him as
he entered the room. He fell TO ihe ground
saying "Kane you have shot me-" The bal
entered the left lung and he fingered till
O'Clock this (Mondsy) morning, when lift
became extinct. Watkins is q we'll known
character in the west and it is generally con
coded that he was desperate one Kane
gave himself up and is now in the guard
house. The opinion of all is that the killing
of Watkins was justiiiable and that Kane did
it out of seif-defence.
On Sunday morning John Lannahan was
found dead in his bed, supposed to have died
of heart disease, Lannahan was the quar-

and served as forage master in the Mexican
war. He is also said to have been an init
mate friend of Gen. Hancock, having served
under him.
