THE RANKS OF THE CRANKY
CREW

The EAGLE is in receipt of a card
and copy of the W. &. Advocate
containing a sketch of Rev. A. b.
Leonard's life. The card propounds
the question, "How can Leonard re-
tain the passionate of his church if SO
nearly all of his membership are
against him." We suppose this ques-
ton has reference TO squib i'll yes
terelay's EAGLE. We answer that we
know of Mr.. Leonard. lie was for
three years a preacher al Leaven-
worth, in this state, and also for some
time presiding elder. We heard him
preach but once or twice. lie is a
good preacher and 3 good Methodist
and was very popular, but that is no
indication of his political soundness,
If his congregation i true black Re-
publican or solid blue Democratic, or
both, the membership might sustain
him as minister yet refuse to support
him politically. Certain it l. nothing
in his favor that he is a political fol-
lower of the dishonest tricketcr. John
psf john. A mans political views
need not necessarily affect his morals
or religion. Some of the most de-
voutly religious men offered up their
lives in the interest of the sum of all po-
Gtical and moral villa juics. human slay-
erv and the efforts of that institution to
destroy the best government on earth.
So there are thousands Of truly re-
ligious people who have fallen into the
cranky ranks of st. John and his fol
lowers for the avowcd purpose Of dc
stroying the best political party the
world ever knew. Ii is hardly sur
prising, but much less surprising, that
the leyel-headed members of Lconard's
church should refuse to follow him in
his misguided course
Mr.. Leonard says in one of his
speeches that he was for the freedom
of the slave and still the friend of the
black man In another speech he said
his aim was the destruction of The Re-
publican party. AS the negro Is free
and as the Republican party freed him
and is still his only friend, in what at
titude i Mr.. Leonard left unless it is
in that of !. demogogue or crank?

AN EAGLE RRESPONDENT
COMES HOME

To the Editor 90 the Daily Eagle:
To me tiIne's flight has never seemed
SO rapid as during the last six weeks,
that being the time that has elapsed
since babe adieu to my old home and
friends in Illinois. and turned my
face kansas-ward. Journeying by the
c. b. & .. road, passed through
some fine farming country, but the
lateness of the season and wet condi-
ton Of the ground gave rather 4
gloomy outlook TO travellers. Many
corniields were not Vet cleared OF the
old stalks. In some fields blowing had
begun. while in few delicate traces
of green showed that some OF the corn
would be comparatively carly.
Through Missouri, corn was tri-
fle further advance d. and gardens
gava fine promise OF plenty of green
sass. As we approached Kansas
City, the sun broke through the clouds
that had sullenly lowered all the after
noon, Frightening up the landscape,
and driving away the depressing in
fluence of a gloomy, chilly atmosphere.
In passing slowly through a glen | OBJ
served tree standing apsr,, which,
from the size of the trunk, must AT
sometime have been gigantic \ Storm
had sborn il of every limb, leaving
an ugly trunk ten or twelve feet high.
At the top new growth of foliage
was springing up, and close to the
foot, Virginia creeper was reaching
out to clasp and drape the unsightly
old tree. wondered il any of my
fellow-travelers noted As did, that
tree, or read in i, the poem that it re-
rsaled. An. there are many poems
by The wsyside of our lives, could our
eyes but be opened to perceive them.
