whether il is best to retain this abnormal

that the cattle had not had sufficient water,

NEBRASKA SOUND.


The Nebraska legislature on Saturday in,
definitely postponed the bill providing fol
maximum freight rates on railroads. Gov
Martin in his message TO the legislature o.
Kansas, If will be remembered, emphatically
endorsed the present commission law of thi:
state, using the following language: The
experience of other states confirms the opin-
ion that the commissioner system, with
ample power vested in the commission, Is
preferable TO any other method Of dealing
with or regulating railways. In some re-
spects / think the authority it confers on the
commission should be amplifed and en-
larged. But the general scope and require
ments of the law, the ever watchful over
sight and restraint ii puts upon the corpora
tions of the state should be adhered to. n
The governors conclusions seem 10 have
been fortified by the experience of many
states both in the east and in the west where
this subject was dealt with many years be-
fore Kansas undertook 10 deal with it

BE FAIR.

The lower house Of the Kansas legislature
expunged from its Journals memorial from
the board of regents Of the state normal
school touching tie sale Of the last of the
endowment lands, and then immediately
thereafter refused TO allow the board TO be
heard by attorney. In this the legislature
acted very boyish, as they have on several
occasions this winter. In the first place that
which has been made a matter Of record
cannot be, in fact, expunged. and in the next
place it was contemplate 10 refuse 10 give a
board charged with crookedness a hearing.
And the same body only few weeks ago
gave political tramp a hearing. Now the
EAGLE was the paper that brought this state
normal school land business TO the notice Of
the public, but in doing SO all that we eN-
pec;ed 10 accomplish was fair inyestiga-
ton of the whole matter, not a one-sided &C

DYNAMiTED.

"Carabineer," by this time, has no doubt
concluded that in attacking the EAGLE he
struck pile of dynamite. He probably did
not know that the old bird was loaded to
the muz.le and sll its correspondents at full
cock and ready to 90 of. If he takes the
EAGLE for anything less than an old fashion
ed Irish wake. all he hiss TO do is TO crock
his Johnny Bull digit to be convinced to
the contrary. Besides ii Is not very likely
that an editor whose grandfather was by the
English government evicted from his home
and country does not know something Of
English rule and christianity.

PUBLIC PARK.

THE FREE Press readers do not need
To be told that the question Of n public
park is one which has often been dis
cussed through these columns. and the
one thing sadly needed for the beautify-
ing of our city, and for the outdoor en-
joyment of our citizens. 1t is something
that every city has, and feature looked
after even by the smaller villages 1t
provides place where public meetings
can be held; where bands can 90 of u
summers evening and make glad the
hearts of the thousands whose DAYS lab
ors have left them weary; where lovers
may WOO and coo to their hearts con-
tent-in fine where one may pass pleas
ant hour at his own sweet will, and feel
that he is trespassing not upon the
rights of anyone. Through the persist
ent and unfailing efforts of the members
of Alex Wilkin Post, Grand Army of the
Republic, Mankato is to have II public
park. The plot of ground surrounded
by Broad, Grove and Lincoln streets,
owned by Mr.. Shepard, has been pur-
chased, and nearly enough money has
been raised by subscription to pay for 1t.
The proposed soldiers monument will
be erected thereon, and when this is
done and the improvements upon the
grounds completed it will make most
beautiful and enticing little place. To
be sure the square is not as spacious as
could be wished for, but 1t beats nothing
all to pieces. We believe 1t is the de-
sire and expectation of those having
this matter i'm charge to grade and other
wise improve the grounds before cold
weather. An effort will be made to Sc
cure from IL to % feet Of the streets sur
rounding the park for promenade, and
there can be no objection by any one TO
granting it, inasmuch as it will still leave
the streets sufficiently wide for drives,
and greatly improve them in appear
ance. In due me the property will he
turned over u the city, and upon the
municipality will devolve the RESPONSE
bility of its care and embellishments.
Everyone will be pleased to know that
we are to have park, and as II hundred
or two dollars are yet to be raised, no
one should refuse to contribute a small
sum. Let this matter he closed up now
and work commenced on the grounds.

FIRE AT THE AGENCY.

About nine o'clock Tuesday morning
the residence of Jacob Pfaf at Winnie
bago Agency, was burned to the ground
with portion Of its contents II is not
definitely known what was the cause,
but the supposition is that it caught
from the kitchen chimney a. that por-
ton of the building was discovered to
be i'm flames first. II was discovered by
a neighbor who ran and informed Mrs.
Pfati, the only occupant Of the residence
ut the time. The alarm was given at
once, and sufficient number of persons
gathered to remove the contents from
the first floor, but they were unable tn
secure much from the cellar and second
story. The loss falls heavily on Mr.. =.
at this time. although the property was
pretty we'll covered by insurance.
The shock FRUSTRATED Mrs. Pfafi for the
time and her condition was critical for
u few hours, but she revived during the
day and is quite well again. There be-
ing u vacant house close by, willing
hands soon had the household goods
placed therein, where the family IL now
