FREEPORT TO THE FRONT.

FREEroRT. June !.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
This Young city located in the midst
of one of one of the finest agricultural
countries known, is fast coming into
prominence. 4 81 800 hotel is now
being built, a large elevator soon 10
be commenced. and various other sub-
stantial improvements are also under
way. The two lumber companies now
located are doing an immense bust
ness, aud more wheat is now being
shipped from this point than from
any on the line. Its business men are
both enierprising and genial. Prop
erty is fast raising in value. and rare
bargains are offered 10 capitalists.

HIS OLD TRICKS.

The Kansas City Journal bounces the
assertion made by St John that there
is more temperance at the south than
at the north. Now we believe that
the Kansas City Journal knows more
about the south than ST. John, and the
ground of our belief is the following,
which corresponds with our own OBJ
seryation: "There is a jug traffic in
the south about which the northern
drinker knows nothing. The latter
when he wants a drink repairs TO n
saloon and gauges the quantity in a
clear. well washed thin glass: the
southern drinker hoists a clay jug to
his mouth, after removing the corn
cob stopper, and lets the liquor gurgle
down his throat, the length of time
he can hold his breath only eauging
the size of his drink

THE ScOTcH-IRISH.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Your Wichita correspondent, p. b.
Conlan, has poured out the vials of
his wrath III last weeks issue of the
EAGLE, on a class of men whom he
STYLES Scotch-Irish. McCauley may
style the people of the Highlands of
Scotland barbarians, but that term is
affixed by English writers to all peo-
pie who will not submit to their pecu-
liar civilization which is remarkable
for making paupers of the many and
millionaire OF the few.
The term Scotch-Irish is unknown
in Ireland; it is usually applied to the
descendants of these patriotic men
who came from the north of Ireland
and settled in Pennsylvania and else
where. They were generally of the
Presbyterian religion, and their love
of fatherland is attested by the fact
that Derry, Donegal, Dungannon,
Strabane, Raphoe, Belfast, Coleraine,
are still found in the map of Pennsyl-
vania. No sect or class can truthfully
claim a monopoly of patriotism. u
ster was more Republican in 1898 than
any other portion of Ireland and a
member of the English parliament in
the house of commons, asserted that

the flames of rebellion in the colonies,
which deprived us of the fairest por
ion Of our empire.
British influence has been exerted
for the past fifty years to make Ulster
LOYAL by means of the "Reginm Dori-
um" and other palliative measures, but
The Great Britain has only partially
succeeded in his base attempt TO d.
vide and conquer. The Prince of
Wales was publicly Kissed in Derry
and at the Royal opera house on the
evening of his arrival, aud the occu-
pants of the dress circle arose to their
feet to sing ''God Save the Queen"
but their voices were completely
drowned, as the whole house seeming
" Joined in the chorus of 'God Save
Ireland
England to-day is cxerting all her
influence TO detatch the protestants of
Ireland from the national Republican
party. Ninety years ago her policy
was TO detatch the wealth and inteli-
gence of the Catholics from the Re
publican party and she practically sue
cecded. The Catholic nobility gent
try, mercantile and other educated
classes separated from the Republican
party, and what might have been

We have two classes of Republican
newspapers in Kansas that are in our
judgment doing harm to the Republic
can party. One class are those it,
tensely prohibition papers that CEN
sure every paper and everybody that
does not look through their eye glass.
The other class are those papers that
profess to he in favor of temperance
aud at the same time are continually
berating temperance people, denounc-
ing temperance organizations and pro-
hibition, and bv this course give a
powerful influence To open rebellion
against the constitution and laws Of
the state. Both are hindrances 10 pro-
hibitiou. and both are doing the party
great injary--Ft. Scott Monitor.
We agree with you, but after emu
meratin@ the papers in the state which
belong to one or the other classes
mentioned above we find that there
are but two simon-pure straight laced
republican papers in the state that are
pursuing the straight forward course,
viz: the Fort Scott Monitor and the
Republican. In order, therefore. to

of the assassin's bullet appeared in reSpon e
