SUMMERS JUDGE.

\ few weeks since, when Summers sena-
tor was the only man in the upper branch
of the legislature who could be found to
vote against Ingalls,, the EAGLE took occa-
sion TO address the Republicans of that
county upon the misfortune and init
mate that 1t didn't pay Republicans to put
enemies into power, and that the result
would be felt when something was wanted
at the hands of Republican administration.
The Press laughed at the idea that Sumner
county could lose anything because of the
action of the Republicans of that county in
the election of Lingenfelter. We desire
now to call the attention of the Press to the
fact that Sumner county has new Judge
who does not hail from the biggest, oldest
and strongest county, and which county, in
reality, inspired the the action for new
district. A good, strong, Republican sena-
tor could and would have made it hot for
the appointing power before such a thing
could have occurred. Mr.. Orner, whom we
don't happen 10 know, personally, is no
doubt n good man and competent, but we
make the guess that he would not have been
the choice of the Republican members of
the Sumner county bar. even as comprom-
Use, nor of the Harper county bar, which
county is in the same senatorial district rs
well.

IRELAND AND IRIsHmEN.

There was a fair sized audience at the
opera house last night to hear Mrs. NJ. f.
Lease in her lecture upon .'Ireland and
Irishmen." The stage was decorated with
the Irish and American national colors and
looked tasty as well as patriotic.
The programme was opened by duet,
appropriate to the occasion, By Messrs. Nc
Grail and Bruce. This was followed by the
solo by Mr.. McGrail, There's Dear Spot
in Ireland" To an encore the same gen.
tleman rendered with pleasing effect, "Casey
in the Dance"
Mrs. Lease was then introduced and gave
her auditors treat in the way of stirring
and most able address upon the former
greatness and present expressions Of Ireland
and Irishmen. She entered into the history
of the country and the men of whom she
spoke, and traced with minu,eness the great
events and the changes that time had
wrought in the little green isle and her in
habitants. She spoke of British rule and op-
preston, and declared that the nineteenth
century had been and was becoming more
propitious for the cause of Ireland. Mrs.
Lease has a dignifei and impressive
manner and introduced many sparkling
gems of thought and marks of deep research
and intellectual culture. She is the daugh-
ter of an Irish patriot whose estates were
confscated by England, and consequently
has the advantage of feeling what she
speaks. This lecture is a strong one and
should prove very popular wherever pre-
sented.

THE BOY WHITNEY.

VIII our dear Democratic readers note the
complexion and personnel Of the new cabinet,
and also whether Mr.. Whitney, the EAGLES
candidate got there or not. He was the only
man the EAGLE has stood for, but him before
any considerable number had been men
toned, and him before there was one man in
4 million outside of New York that ever
heard of such man. How the EAGLE ever
got on TO this Whitney and his relations to
Grover Cleveland we may never be able to
make public, but we guess our Democratic
brethren must understand that the EAGLE
has bad the inside with the best and most
intimate OF "them fellows Turn to an ed
itorial on the 30th of November and read
what We said then in the light of this morn
ing's dispatches. We rather thought then
that Whitney would 20 into the interior, but
in few DAYS afterwards We said the navy

WE TOLD ONLY THE SIMPLE EXACT
TRUTH.

The Beacon in its issue of Tuesday even
ing turns itself inside ont in disquisition on
the location of the federal building, in which
it not only made an ass of itself, but in so
far as it alluded to the editor of the EAGLE,
gave expression to unqualified lies Of the
meanest kind.
We do not know anything of any schemes
or jobs, nor were we or are we interested in
any. Unlike our generous-souled and pub
lic-spirited neighbor, We don't happen to
own an unimproved lot on Market street. but
where We are perfectly willing the building
should go if that should prove the mos; suit
able place. We have letters from Was-ing-
ton, received before and since the pass e of
the bill, and which have been seen by no
one, which not only bear out all that has
been claimed by the EAGLE, but which con-
tain information not made public. If the
Beacon is correct in its estimate Of our ser
vices and We are denied any credit in all the
matters pertaining TO the federal court and
the building, we shall not turn ourselves
ioosc, as ~ ~ouiou pe luc uTst tiine lnht We
have been deprived of the credit of consci-
entious work by interested and envious
yawkers. And, while we think Of it, we
will say here and now that
we can prove by his own friends that We
did not want originally to take hold Of the
work, that we protested against haying to go
to Washington, and that we named the edi
tor of the Beacon in that connection who
was not only DESTROYS, but who urged that
he be chosen. II strikes US therefore that
articles belittleing our efforts and impugn-
ing our motives are not only not in the best
Of taste, but that in them the author is I'M
true TO himself And while he is making
himself so brash with other peoples mo-
tives, notwithstanding the Republican party
are perfectly willing to leave it with the peo
pie of Wichita, first whether our work has
been effective and unselfish and who is en-
titled TO the most credit in that direction,
the editor of the EAGLE or the men who ex
pect to, BY reason of holding the post
masters commission, control the new build
lug which has been granted our city. When
we take into consideration the fact that it is
a rule of the government that not more than
two federal buildings shall be in course of
at the same time in anv one
state, and the further fact that
one of the youngest cities
Of the state, was the third
to secure an appropriation when older and
greater towns have failed after years of en-
deavor, We feel that if nobody is entitled to
credit, that the town has al least been so |
lucky that her people can hardl, afford to |
quarrel over a site-which quarrel the Bea- |
con says is inevitable. That paper told the |
truth in one sentence for which we give |
credit, and that is no hydraulic pressure
would be great enough to force the EAGLE
INTO the expression of any opinion which
would precipitate a fight over that about
which there should be harmony and good
nature only.

4" GOOD BYE, JOHN. :

We give the bunghole and corkscrew law
in full this morning. So far as the open sa-
loon is concerned, it is strong and will be
found effectual. So far as the drug store is
concerned, it is very conservative. So far
Ms the club room and the hole-in-;he-wail
are concerned, il Is weak. So far us prohib-
ting hotel keepers from setting bottles OF
liquors on their tables, which is now the
fashion, to such large extent, it is utterly
weak and ineffective. The club room, the
drug store ard the hotel might be compelled
to pay the fine or licence heretofore paid by
the open saloon, but the man who attempts
to run an open saloon in the face of that
law is no better than an idiot The prohibs
have said from the first that ''the saloon
must co." and it's sure enough squelched.

DOUBLE DASH.

A horse sttached TO n single buggy took
whirl down the avenue yesterday. About
the junction of that street with Lawrence
avenue it collided with All express wagon
dislocating the coupling on the forward
hounds and turning this team loose with but
the forward wheels to spin down the road.
They sped to the Santa Fe track without
striking any obstacles. Turning there to the
north they ran to the water tank ON the road
and they took the railroad track, where they
came to grief by falling down on the tie;
and were there caught. No harm WAS done
but to knock the skin off the nose Of one OF
the ponies.
