The Chicago Citizen in its obituary no

feature Of his military career which has
not been generally recognized-namely
that he commanded larger armies than
either of the four great soldiers-Marl

ton--and that he directed the successful
movements of vast masses under his COM
mand over a larger area, his line of battle
in 1864, when he became commander-in-
chief OF the American armies, extending
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.

THE PRIDE OF KANSAS.

school houses that dot our prairies.
You msy go even INTO the remotest
corners or sections of Kansas, where
there are only now and then settler,
and though his only shelter may be
n dug-out or dobe. you will find that Il
school district has been organized
within the boundaries of which he re-
sides, and somewhere, not far dis
tant, his children have II neat
school house where they attend
school daily. Schools aud
churches attract the attention of the
homesteader first of all as soon as he
has secured his quarter section. The
neighbors get together and write up a
petition TO their county superintend-
ent, who hears aud responds to their
wishes, and soon after up goes neat
school house, if the settlers have To
reach into their own pockets TO pay
for it. Next a church is organized in
the neighborhood. To this ali-pre-
vailing spirit that eharaeterizes Kan
sas people, more than any other thing,
may her magic growth and prosperity

THAT PAPER RAILROAD.

The above clipping from The Wichita

the EAGLE man, il is only necessary TO
have a scheme rotten up that don't

scheme happens 10 be a paper railroad
something that the EAGLE is full of
every day, but a. it happened to mem

Marsh is up on his auricular ap-

probable that Congressman Peters
never heard of the scheme. but was
put On the directory, like lots of peo-
pie are, just to ill in and give tone TO

a KANSAS CITY DRUMMER ON
WICHITA,

For years past our neighborino city
of Wichita has been posing as para
disc. The EAGLE has led lis readers
and the rest of mankind to believe
that when the Creator established his
kingdom on earth Wichita would be
selected as the New Jerusalem; that
the great white throne would be set
up in some eligible spot, proba-
bly, at the crossing of Main street
and Douglas avenue and that all of
the bright angels and boss saints
would be for all eternity patroiling
the streets with huge wings, tunefui
harps and musical voices, like a band
OF Italian MINISTRIES preparatory to
passing around the hat. indeed. We
are free to confess, that until quite
recently. we warmed up to this
arrangement like sick kitten
to hot brick. Now, how
ever, comes the Harper Graphic
and discloses some matters which
if true will forever preclude us
from voting for Wichita As being a
suitable place for the future abode
of the blessed: "A drummer informs
us that wading around in Wichita

foot, or some disease that causes a
limber"er aroma TO arise from them

AN HONEST CONFESSION.

The EAGLE of Sunday contained
twenty-four columns of reading mat
ter. This is equal TO the daily average
given by the Kansas City papers, and
is beyond the capacity of any OF the
Kansas dailies. We speak of this, not
because of any particular love for the
EAGLE, but as matter of pride. II
there is anything we are proud of it

newspaper like the EAGLE. Marsh

saints, but it cannot be denied that
they are publishing paper that would
be creditable TO any city. This Is not
