The editor of the Wichita EAGLE

to our remark that he is an inoffen-
siye partisan. and says that il is only
''the milk and water style of papers
"that arc offensive TO the Wichita
Democrat, who with open arms and
"a blessing take 10 the man who has
''an opinion and who vigorously ex.
"presses the same" Very well; viii
our offensive contemporary vigorous

enworth monument, and back it up
with a liberal contributions A little
vigor in that line would be quite con-
vincing.-K. &. Times.
When called upon the EAGLE
promptly made its contribution il
cash towards the proposed monument
and the Ladies Relief Corps made ;
handsome collection which we suppos,
has been duly forwarded. Besides III,
EAGLE has published several articles
favoring that patriotic move. The
Times makes us tired with its indis
eliminating criticisms.

A CONNECTION.

As we minated some weeks since
there is something more than talk in
the north and south railroad scheme,
in proof of which we are pleased to
record the fact that the prelim mary
survey is now completed from Wichita
to this city, the surveying party ar
irving here Wednesday night. The
party ran the line along the street that
leads from Mill creek bridge south of
town due north to the B. & M. track
near Langdon's nursery; they returned
to their camp near Linn the same
evening. The party express them
selves as highly pleased with the route
saying that it is very easy and practi-
cable especially from Clay Center

The New York Democratic commit
tee thanks Hon. Daniel Manning fol
"wise leadership which made Demo.
cratic success possible" last year in
the state and nation" This will be
likely to provoke very warm contro-
versy. The Mugwumps insist that
they carried New York, and made
Clevcland's election possible; aud Sen.
ator German is just as confident that
he did ii by purchasing st. John-an
operation which as he candidly puts
ii, "cost like h-n." And there is
Burchard, also, whose claim is fair
ly reasonable and valid one. The case
seems, in fact, to bear close resemb-
lance to that of the French girl who,
being asked to give the name of the
father OF her child, replied, "Alss, I
cannot; there are several of them."---

AN INTERESTING CASE.

There was recently commenced
most novel and interesting case in the
United States circuit court, the par
ties thereto being the successors o.
the New York Cattle company vs.
the Dominion Cattle company. The
plaintiffs ask for restraining order
which involves directly the power o.
the circuit court TO exercise civi
authority in the Indian Territory, and
indirectly the right of the United
States circuit court to app oint United
States commissioners in the Territory
which is attached 10 the district o.
Kansas.
The case will be observed with
much interest as it will lay down new
laws relative TO this much moote6
subject.

Acting Commissioner

The Wichita EAGLE is now endeav.
oring to bring Chicago. st. Louis and
Wichita into conglomerated trio, as
the great cities of the west Chicago
and st. Louis will probably never
amount to much, and we wonder at
wichita wanting to ally herself to such
defunct corporations. There is not
another city on the continent that
smells just like Wichita does Harper

severe letter to Maj. Kodktkizy, state labor

quiet here at the shops and nothing new
has been developed in this direction since
