MEDICINE LODGE, Sept. 9th, 'S5.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle:
Come down among the Gypsum
hills, and wander along the banks of
our beautiful streams: behold our dar-
ling cowboys: shake hand with our
merchant princes; share our hospitali-
ty and prosperity. and get fat in this
land of milk and honey, corn and
beef and Won will live long and pros

II is now understood that the
Kiowa branch of the Southern Kansas
railway is being rapidly extended
along the survey TO the western
counties. Medicine Lodge is the ter
minus of the main line of the Southern
Kansas road and will soon be the
liyelie.t town im the border counties.
Grading on the line from Attica to
this point is nearly finished. Already
the boom boometh and the Lodge is
happy. 1t dreameth of the day when
it will be the seat of mighty empire,
the model and wonder of the world
We will then treat with you about
annexation.
Yesterday the Democrats held thei!
county convention, and nominated the

A POOR YEAR FOR KICkERS.

The Valley Center News congratu-
lates man who is running for sheriff
independently. hut who claims TO be
a Republican rs to the national party
organization. and independent rs a
local politician. The position is an
amolous and void of sense or princi-
pie. No political principle can tri-
umph in America except through ma
tioual party. aud no national party can
exist except as it rests on local organi-
cations. The township, city and coun-
ty organizations are the foundation
and life o: the greater organizations.
and the national Republican party
only lives through the local organiza-
tions. and the man who attempts to
bea, or DESTROY the latter, strikes at
the greater, whatever he may pretend.
The man who declares that he loves
his home and its inmates. but
who in the same breath tries
To lear away it, supports and destroy
lis inmates is not only liar but
something worse. The man who says
he is in favor of the national Repub-
lican party and the principles ii repre-
SCENTS and who al the same time de-
c,ares that he is not for the party and
its principles in local way, is dema-
goyue. a hypocrite and something
worse. a man who will so act and so
talk is neither qualified or worthy to
ac, in an official capacity for any peo-
nile. However much the Democrats
of Sedewick county may individually |
think of VIII Hays. as man, they
will vote solidly for John Fisher on
e,eci,on dav. That's their way of do
ing things. and that is why that party |
has lived in spite of its blunJer-. mis-
takes and crimes. Any man who
claims to be a Republican and yet be-
comes a candidate against bis party's
choice and in spite OF his party's ac-
ton deceives but very few people
and if ANYBODY votes tor such man,
he votes 10 defea, the Republican
party.

She took measure from her pocket, made the
customer double his fist, and in five minutes
sent him away thoroughly satisfied with pair
of ia gloves.
.Not one gentleman in ten knows what size
glove he wears" said the saleswoman, in re-
spouse to question: shut it is of the rules Of
the store always to ask him the question.
some men don't like to admit that they don't
know, SO they give me the size of their collar
their shoe, or some such ridiculous thing

lo3a that he was giving me the size OF his cuff,
why didn't you inform him of his mistaken"

Besides, l should have been obliged to argue
with him. Most menwon't admit that they are
mistaken on matters Of that kind. Some re-
man man prides himself in telling his acquaintances
'iieves that he does. Another one always let's
me measure him and then calls for q size
smaller than he can wear. never give It to
him, but he thinks I do and he goes away

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The call for uniformity in the marriage laws
of the different states was fully illustrated in an
affair that is reported in our news columns A
couple who had arranged for their marriage in
Akron, o., finding that under the laws of that
state the fact that they are first cousins pre-
vented their union, slipped over to Newcastle,
were married by one of the functionaries that
this state keeps up for the benefit of the Ohio
people who wish to be married in haste and
returned to Akron to hold their wedding recep-
ton.
Now one of two things is evident. Either the
law of Ohio forbidding the marriage of first
cousins Is founded on natural necessity or it
is not. If 1t Is, the facilities which Pennsylya-
MIA law allows for the production of idiocy in
defiance of Ohio law is discreditable to this
state. If not, the fact that Ohio declares mar
riages to be illegal that are held to be lust and
right by other laws, is hardly more creditable
to that state.
There is not much room for doubt that the
marriage of first cousins has been demonstrated
by sociologists to be productive of deterioration
In the offspring of such unions. However that
point may be regarded, the premium which
pennsylvania offers on the performance of
marriages that are prohibited in Ohio, is a
strong evidence Of the necessity. for a uniform
system of marriage laws.
