A RINGING LETTER.
Senator ingalls, on the Question OF
an Honest Vote.

In reply to q note addressed to Senator
Ingalls, q few days ago, regarding the i'm
portance of having an iron-clad election
law which would give us an honest vote
and fair count, the senator writes as fol-
lows:
The will of the majority honestly express
ed and justly aseertained at the polls, is the
foundation of the republic. This is the
basis, the underpinning on which the whole
structure of onr system Of popular, repre-
sentative government rests. This alone
distinguishes it from monarchy, aristocracy,
oligarchy. Without this it becomes the
rule of the minority. which is the most
odious tyranny. The compact is broken
and the consent OF the governed no longer
exists.
If the great questions concerning the
currency, the tariff, the civil service, foreign
intercourse, the maintenance of armies and
| navies, the control of corporations, the pro-
| lection of labor, the collection and dis
bursement of revenues, questions affecting
the property and happiness of every citizen
are to be determined BY the votes of men in
congress placed there by fraud and suppress
sion, or BY the vetoes of presidents placed
| in the white house by knavery and violence
tnen sooner or later discomfort will open in
TO resentment, and new volume in our his
tory will be opened.
The greatest menance 10 free institutions
comes from corrupted suffrage, and exists
not only alone in the South, but in the
North also, especially in all large towns and
cities. All parties are guilty of improper
methods and unjust appeals. 1 doubt if
there has been an absolute fair, unbiased,
impartial presidential election in this
cuntry. Nobody can tell within one mil
liol votes what the political majority in the
United States actually was in 1884. The
evil is growing, and the worst feature of the
situation is tina: public opinion is indifferent,
or insensible to the danger.
There are volumes of statutes, state and
national. to punish offenders against suffrage.
but il may be said that as in war, so in
elections, laws are silent. l do not See how
legislation can do more. The remedy lies
in the national conscience and the activity of
the moral energies of society.-El Dorado
Republican.

THE BOTTOM DRAWER.

/ saw nv wife pull out the bottom drawer
of the old family bureau :his evening, and
went softly out and wandered up and down
until knew she had gone TO her sewing
We have some things laid away in tina,
drawer which the gold Of kings could not
buy, and yet they are relics which grieves
us both until both our hearts are sore.
haven't looked at them for year, but re-
member each article. There are two worn
shoes, a little chip hat with part of the rim
gone, some stockings, trousers and coat
two or three spools, bits Of broken crockery
q whip, AMI several toys. Wife. poor thing
goes to the drawer every day of her life and
pr.ys over it, and lets her tears fall upon the
precious articles, but dare not 60.
Sometimes we speak Of little Jack, bu,
not often. 1t has been q long time, bu,
somehow we can't get over growing. He
was q burst of sunshine into our lives, and
his going away has been like covering our
very existence with pail. Sometimes when
We sit alone of evenings, / writing and she
sewing, little child on the street will Cal
out as our child used TO, and We will both
start up with beating hearts End wild hope
only to find the darkness more OF q burden
than ever. 1t is so still and so quiet now
| look up at the window where his blue eyes
used to sparkle at my coming, but he is not
there. ! listen for his pattering feet, his
merry shout and his ringing laugh, bu,
there is no sound. There is no one TO climb
over my knees, no one to search my peck
cts and tease for presents, and / never find
the chairs turned over, the broom down, or
the ropes tied to the knobs.
| want some one to tease me for my knife,
to ride on my shoulders, TO lose my ak, to
follow me to the gate when | go, to be there
when come, 20 call "good night" from the
little bed now empty. And wife, she misses
him still more. There are no little feet to
wash, no prayers to say, no voice teasing for
Jumps of sugar, or sobbing with pain of a
hurt toe; and she would give her own life
almost to awake at midnight and look across
to the crib and see our boy as he used to be.
So we preserve our relics, and when We are
dead We hope that strangers will handle
them tendeIly, even if they shed no tears
over them.

ATTENTION MR. EAGLE.

The gross misstatements in the article in
Yesterdays EAGLE from Harper are mex
cusahle if the party is a resident of Harper
and the good that was in the communication
is so deeply buried by the errors that il
would he far better 10 have no correspon-
dent The statement is made that the tar
of the city is Sl0.15 on each 500 valuation.
Now the fact is, as we are informed by Mr..
Walker of the council finance committee,
that the total tax is 1925 per 500, and this
includes a tax of two per cent levied for
building school house. IL was the iuten-
ton Of the school board TO pay for the en-
tire building in one year, which they will
do. Exclusive of that the total tax is S., %
per 500 valuation. Thus probably we are
better of than any of the surrounding cities;
the tax on the one nearest us being S1,15
per 500.
Instead Of the bonded debt being taxed At
So per 500 valuation, as the same article
states. the total debt of the city, except that
for which payment is already provided, is
only about 81 200. and the tax levy of the
present wear will pay every dollar Of that.
Now, we doubt if there is city in the
state that can make better showing than
that
OF coure, the EAGLE is not responsible for
the reckless statements of its correspondents.
but in Justice TO the city of Harper, which
must be badly injured when errors are
allowed TO go uucorrected, We ask that II
correct the statements made by this writer.

Congressman Houk is firm believer that
At is the destiny of Tennessee to break the
solid south. lie says: 1.-The Republican
party has no hope in any southern state SO
great as in Tennessee We can count every
vote cast in the state. That means much in
"a fight in any southern state. The highest
Democratic vote ever cast in the state up 10
1884 was for Tilden in 1876. Cleveland got
l52 more votes than T'ilden. Blaine got
$1,000 more votes than Hayes 1t was solid
Republican growth, something TO build on
and go on growing. The issues that inter-
est Tennessee are those of protective tariff
and education. The capturing of Tennessee
would be 10 the solid south what Sherman S
march 10 the sea was to the Coniederacy. 1t
would break the backbone of the Demo-
cratic phalanx in the south and revolution

The Wichita EAGLE of November 9Th
says that work has commenced on the
Wichita and Colorado line in earnest, and
that it will be pushed westward n rapidly
as possible. That paper further states tina,
the enterprise will be link Of the Missouri
Pacific system, and will be backed by Jay
Gould, and that the Fort Scott and Wichita,
which now terminates at Anthony, will be
pushed on southwest Certainly the EAGLE
must be mistaken in regard TO the latter
statement, as the IT. Scott is TO make COM
plete triangle and run through Attica and
On toward, Alaska. The EAGLE man should
read the Attica Advocate regularly if he
would keep posted in regard to the move
ments of railroads.-Sharon News.
It may be that both the News and Advo-
cate hayer later advices than are in our
possession. A. for the first portion Of the
paragraph there IS no doubt Of Its correct
ness.

When the days arc long, Marsh, you talk
a grea: deal. Topeka always hopes for the
growth and prosperity of Wichita. The
Capital is working for Topeka and all other
Kansas towns, including the enterpri.ing
and splendid young city Of Wichita. The
building up OF Kansas towns without pay
ing tribute to Kansas City is the work for
Kansas papers.-Cspital.
But the days now are no longer long and
YOU should therefore avoid scattering. 1.-THE
building up OF Kansas towns without pay
ing tribute 10 Kansas City is the work Of
Kansas papers" true enough, but not one of
them had the courage TO take the bull by
the horns until the EAGLE had hourished
the red fsg in his face and Wichita had
worried him out of breath.

ATCHlSON'S NEW NiCE-pRESI
DENT.

Since the resignation Of Mr.. A. r. Touza-
lin as vIce-president of the Atchison, Topeka
X Ssnts Fc. the labor of looking after the
practical working Of the line has devolved
upon President Strong. and has kept him
away from the home office more than WAS
desirable. The directors, therefore, have
chosen Mr.. {. W. Smith, who Is now gener-
al manager of the Chesapeake X Ohio, IS
Mr.. Touzalin's successor. Since 1852 Mr..
Smith has been general freight agent Of the
Columbus. Chicago * Indiana Central, the
Pitisburg. Cincinnati K ST. Louis and Cen
trail Pacific roads. He was then elected
general manager OF the Indianapolis, Bloom
ington K Western, which position he re-
signed in 1915 TO become general freight
agent of the Chicago, Burlington X Quincy,
and was promoted 10 be traffic manager Of
that road when Mr.. Strong left j. for the
A.chison. In 1850 he WAS made traffic
manager of the Erie, and the following year
became general manager of the Chesapeake
* Ohio railroad. Huntington was unwilling
10 part with him, but the promotion TO SO
great position as the Atchison, and the
renewal of close official relations with his
old friend. Mr.. Strong, were attractions too
strong 10 be withstood.-St- Louis Globe.

The BANK OF WICHITA is determined to

The great problem is at last solved in
making safe powder proof as well as
burglar proof. This safe has no holes run
