"THE SAME OLD COON"

The students al Washington. Penn
sylvania, held, on the 10th inst, mock
Republican National convention. Two
hundred students, arrayed in plug hats
and linen busters, collected at the de-
pot, representing the arriving dele
gates, and marched, headed by brass
band, to the town hall. In the organi-
cation of the convention the "unit
rule" was beaten. The seats of G. l..
McGee and John l.. Stewart, of Penn
sylvania, and William Malone of Vir-
ginia, were contested. The gentlemen
personating Magee and Stewart were
allowed seats, but Malone was routed.
At night nominations were in order.
James q. Blaine was put in nomina-
ton by Il. Il. Mccormick, personating
Senator John J. Ingalls,, of Kansas I;
and VIM. p. Frye, for vice-president,
by III. Stewart. representing Governor
St. John, of Kansas. The convention
nominated Edmunds for president, and
General James A. Beaver, of Pennsyl-
vania, for vice-president. The nomin-
ating speeches were all first-rate, and
reflect credit upon the students. The
discussions and nominating speeches
showed no meagre knowledge of po-
litical principles and public men. Kan
sas cut big figure in the convention.
The Kansas delegation established
headquarters at the Fulton house, and
hung out banner, displaying on one
side grasshopper, and on the other

JUDGE o. ]. BREWER.

Hon. David J. Brewer, recently ap-
pointed United States circuit judge in
place of Judge McCrary, took his seat
at the circuit court yesterday. Judge
Brewer will remain in town until the
end of next week, when he will go to
Leavenworth, where he resides. In
speaking to the Times yesterday,
Judge Brewer said that the eighth
circuit was the largest of any, COM
prising the seven states; Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado,
Minnesota and Arkansas, and in case
the Davis bill passes congress, Judge
Brewer will probably make his head.
quarters in st. Louis. The bill pro-
yides, amongst other things, for q
court of appeals to be held in that
city, and for the appointment of two
additional JUDGES to each circuit.
Senator ingalls, has bill now before
congress for the division of the eighth
circuit into two, consisting of Ne
braska, Kansas, Colorado and Ar
kansas in the eighth district, and Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Minnesota in the
ninth. There is possibility that
Judge Brewer may permanently re-
side in Kansas City, but he cannot
decide until the question of the divi-
sion of circuits is settled. Judge
Brewer is temporarily stopping at the
residence of his brother-in-law, ex-
Mayor S. ID. Woods. He is a most
genial conversationalist, and laugh
ingly remarked yesterday that having
good appetite and good position, he
proposed to take life as easy as work

APecuLlAR BOON.

A peculiar feature of the present
movement in favor of Arthur, and
which is probably unprecedented in
political history, is the attitude of the
business elements of the country.
Ordinarily the boom of an incumbent
of the presidential chair comes largely
from the civil service list, from men
enjoying the places, the power and
the patronage of the party's admins
tration. While the party conventions
have heartily endorsed President Ar
thur mall particulars they have not
asked for his denomination, nor have
The office-holders under him chosen
him as first choice. In fact the pres
ent wonderful and Enthusiastically
strong movement in his direction
comes from what are known as the
great conservative or business inter-
ests of the country. Taking our own
town and county as an example, the
politicians, that is men who take an
interest in political parties are for
Blaine. Logan, eli al, but we find by
talking around that large maturity
of the business men of Wichita are for
Arthur as first choice, or at least
urging that they would prefer him &c
the chances of change.
There is no denying the fact that the
Arthur boom is on.

SEDGwICK COUNTY FRUIT.

"We believe there will hardly a
peach in this part of the state, and in
this emergency we fall back on the
booming editor of the Wichita EAGLE.
If our memory serves us correctly, he
had an article few weeks ago Oh the
peach prospect in Sedgwick county, in
which he predicted a fair crop there
say, in round numbers, 100000
bushels. The figures may not be ex-
act; it may be stated little under his
estimate, but the editor of the EAGLE
is man who don't care for few fig
ures in matter of this kind, and we
DO not pretend to be exact. But we
would ask him how the matter stands
now; if there are still peaches. enough
left in Sedgwick county to supply the
state. If there is, we shall be better

No finer prospect of abundant

SHOULD APPLY TO ALL.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, has in
PRODUCED in the senate very impor-
tant bill. which bears directly on the
recent financial complications in New
York. Ii provides that it shall not be
lawful for any president, cashier, teller
or other chief executive officer of any
national banking association having a
capital stock of 100000 or upwards,
to engage in speculation in stocks,
bonds. or other securities, or in grain.
provisions, produce or oil, or in mar
gins, on his own individual credit or
for his own personal profit, either d.
rectly or indirectly, or TO have any
partnership or other financial interest
in the operations of any private bank
ing or brokerage firm or business. The
penalty for the violation of such law,
if passed, is fixed by the bill at not less
than one or more than five years. Such
a law would undoubtedly do much TO
put a stop to the disgraceful defalca-
tions which are occurring every week
throughout the country

IMPUDENCE.

Everybody, we presume, comedies
the right of certain eminent business
men of New York City to meet and
pass series of resolutions endorsing
ANYBODY they want to for president,
but nobody any longer is bowed down
with any particular amount of rever-
cnce for the so-called eminent business
talen: of that city. II so happens in
these latter days that there is a good
deal of business talent in this country
outside of New York City. Business
talent that is engaged in following le-
gitimate pursuits, and not gambling
in stocks with other peoples money.
The opinion of these So called eminent
business men of New York no more
reflects the opinion of the business
men of this country, than does the
opinion of the business men of any
other city or state. +.

NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

Mr.. Plumb in speaking in favor of
an appropriation for the New Orleans
Exposition on the 18th instant, in the
senate said:
But this matter has got to point
where think the public expectation
has been aroused, aud the chances for
benefit derived not only to the south
crn people but to all of the people in
this country are sufficient to warrant
us in making this experiment. l be-
lieve it will do more to intermingle
the people of the whole United States,
that 1t will do more to give life to the
currents of trade, especially in the
southern states, to open up new mar
kets for the northern states, to bring
us into accord with the people of the
states of South America, as have
said, and generally stimulate the
movements of the people and their
business interests throughout the en-
tire country, than any other thing that
We could do ut this time.
To my great surprise ! found that a
large interest was awakened in the ex-
hibifion in the state of Kansas. That
is a state somewhat remote, state
that has business of its own to Edo,
that has a market for its own pro-
ducts west; but still find that our
people are looking forward with a
great deal of interest to this exhibit
ton. Kansas will have display there
if its products, which will be, 1 have
no doubt, creditable to that state, and
following that display will go thous
ands of people, and | fhink'that viii

souri, valley. l have no doubt thai
the feeling will be contagious, and
that it will spread to the states east
if il has not already done SO.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The little furry on Wall street, New
York, did not seem to raise ripple in
financial affairs in our city or county.
Our banks at this section of the year have
few calls tor loans, and being well fortified
met all demands on them. Our business
men showed their faith in the solijty OF
our banking institutions by making their
usual. even using extra eXertions in in-
creasing their deposits. While the city
banks paid 30 per cent. cash for few days,
our banks promptly met all demands, and
shipped out large amounts Of currency to
the country banks who keep accounts in
this city.
Our grain and stock had been generally
all sold, hence our farmers will not suffer
by reason of lower values in eastern mar
kets. To-day's market quotations show
about the same values as prevailed week
ago, showig clearly that the dark cloud
which for few days hung over the COM
mercial horizon had entirely disappeared.

THE WICHITA AND MCPHERSON r. r.

To the Editor Of TIE Daily Eagle:
VIII You please advise the voters of
Wichita by whom and what respons-
ible parties you are informed "the
money is ready now to build the Wich-
tia & Mcpherson railroad" and who
the parties are that will furnish it, as
many thinkers express doubts as to
the probabilities of these frequent state
ments. The day of election is coming.
Let's see dollars, and not SO much
wind, before we embarrass the city
with fauitless pledge that may pre-
vent us from extending requiacd as
sistance to approaching realities.
W.
This query comes from some one
who failed to give us his full name,
and we only answer it for the reason
that we do not desire to mislead the
public in the least in this matter, for
the value of such a connection to
Wichita all admit.
Now, from the first the local direct
ors of the line residing in Wichita have
assured us on their word and honor
as gentlemen that complete arrange
ments had been made for the cODstruc-
ton of the road and that the only con-
dition imposed by the men who were
to furnish the money was the voting
of the bonds for stock.
OF course we have been shown no
money, nor even given the names of
the men who were to furnish it.
As to the item referred to by our
correspondent, its language is exactly
as furnished us by banker in this
city, although in one or two respects
his language was more emphatic than
as given.
OF course there are many schemes
and humbugs now days: still, men
must trust more or less to the honor
of their fellow men. One thing we
are sure of, and that is no bonds will
be issued by Wichita for a paper road.

A petition is being circulated which
is receiving the signatures of many
prominent citizens.requesting Senator
Plumb TO urge the passage of his Okla

what there is decided change in the
sentiment of the people in southern
Kansas in relation to this matter.
Many who were Indifferent or oppos-
ed to opening that country to settle
ment are now strongly in favor of the
government, determining at once its
proper status. and if the land belongs
SO the government and it has not been
set apart for any Indian reservation,
then the people are opposed to its be-
ing controlled by cattle rings, and are
in favor of its being declared open for
settlement. The question ought to be

To the Editor eff the Eagle:
DEAR SIR Il am in receipt of the

satisfaction to say is credit to the
publisher and the: city But as the
echo of the Hiawatha World does
great violence 20 the truth of history
in the statement concerning Van Ben
nett, and the publica' ion of the Cop
perhead. The statement ia the article
referred to states chat Martin Van
Buren, Bennett was the only man in
the United States who. during the
war, published paper called the
Copperhedd. Bennett did this in
Iowa. All the time that the war
lasted this traitor sat in his Office and
abused the Union soldiers, President
Lincoln and the patriotic men and wo-
men of his native land" Bennett
does not happen to be of Iowa ''to the
manor born" 50 the poesey of refer
ence TO This 4ative land' drops out.
But ii is not that injustice to Bennett
| write to correct. Martin Van
Buren, Bennett went early in the war
from Knoxville. Marion county, Iowa,
into the Union army as the captain of
company of one hundred democrats,
stayed late and was reputed good
soldier, and came home broken in his
general health. He has never, | I'M
derstand, entirely recovered, but new
er asked for pension. The Copper
head was not published until after the
close eff the war, and sometime after
the death of Mr.. Lincoln. Bennett, in
common with democrats generally,
greatly deplored the assassination of
Mr.. Lincoln. AS they believed that
he, like Greedy, Sumner, Chase, Sew
ard and others of the great LEADERS
Of the Republican party earnestly de-
sired ''to speedily bridge the bloody
chasm." No unkind words were pub
lished in the Copperhead of Mr.. Lin
coin. But the folly and crime of
Wilkes Booth was there denounced
with the severity of invectiye ofwhich
Bennett is one of the great masters.
/ am, at present. no apologist of
Mr.. Bennett. We parted company,
politically. when he shipped with the
prohibition crew. But not to defend
him from the rank injustice of theHia-
watha World, were to write myself a
coward.
BY giving this the publicity you did
the article from the Hiawatha World
will be but an act of common justice.
