"a CRANKY HOUSE"

The Pratt County Press takes the EAGLE

the legislature for allowinga person from
another state, who has no interest in Kansas

United States, TO take up their time in talk
ing about that which they individually and
collectively are as well informed Is the party
who addressed them. Without reference to
the mission, or it, aim, or who bears it, wo-
man or man, from whatever state or terri
tory, the Kansas Legislature has no author
ity under she laws or constitution TO resolve
itself into an audience, and whenever it does
We shalLiell our readers about it without

less for that class Of cranks who assume the

state, touching questions the pros and
cons Of which are familiar to the average
school boy; and, it Is a surprise TO Us that 50
intelligent gentlemen a the editors Of the
Pratt; County Press should find fault with
us for saying that a branch of the law-mak-
ing power had exceeded its perogatiyes and
that they should call in question our mo-
tives. Leave such work to that class Of
men whose respect for women runs at such
a low level that they would not only crowd
their mothers. wives, sisters into an uncon-
genial and harrassirtg sphere, but who would,
if they could, compel them to bear many
other burdens in the fight of life from which
we, as nearly all Others opposed to female
suffrage, would shield and protect them.

A BELIEF IN GOD.

To the Editor OF the agile
When a man rejects all belief in God hC
is nearly ready for any use the devil may
have for him. The greatest restrain; against
the commission of crime is then removed
only the fear of human law remains, and
all experience and observation proves that
this presents feeble barrier to mems pas
siens. Violations of law are So seldom fol-
lowed by the penalties therefor that legal
restraints exercise little influence to prevent
vice and crime.
If death be an eternal sleep, if there is
no court hereafter whose decisions are Infall-
ible, where the wrongs and injustices Of this
life are righteously adjusted and every man
receives the due reward of his acts, there is
little left TO restrain outbursts of passion,
lust and hatred.
As said, wien one becomes an infdel he
is nearly ready for any work the devil may
have for him. The influences of Christian
ity have been so powerful hitherto as to re
strain snch men from fragrant wrons-dong
from mere force Of habit and respect TO the
community without any regard to
the motive which ac,uatcs them.
II is this silent, unconscious influence
which has been so potent for good in our
land, even among those who deny the ex-
istence of God and future rewards and pun
ishments But disbelief in the truths Of rev
citation always tends 10 the weakening Of all
moral restraints and 70 the rapid degrade
ton of the individual. And in the genera
ton to come the influences Of Christianity
unbelief be checked. The growing tendency
downward in the class referred 10. Is evident
TO the most casual observer. The increasing
frequency of murder. robbery, suicide, de-
faication and all forms of crime, and the dis
regard of all moral obligation prove this
1fthese things be 80, how great the re-
sponsibility of those who are trying to lessen
our belief in Supreme Being and our rev
erence for sacred things. There Is respect
for law, for virtue. for human life aud for
everything good in proportion as the princi-
piles of the gospel Of Jesus Christ are &C
cepted and practiced. How inoalculable then
the mischief wrought in the country by such
men as Ingersoll and his followers! They
cannot be called benefactors Of their race
when the effect OF their teachings Is TO I'M
settle the foundations Of all morality. In a
political sense, the welfare of the communi-
ty would be promoted if those who disbe-
lieye the Bible would be silen; as TO iheir
unbelief. II they have nothing better to
offer in place of the purifying influences OF
Christianity which they are using every eff
fort to neutralize-loye of their fellow men
ought to prompt them TO preserve real
good, even though they may believe that
the motive which produces the good is
false. Christianity alone can preserve our
nation from the lswlessness and anarchy

parties have recently been arrested and

while the fish law was in force, but we
believe nothing has been done in the
matter of enforcing that part of the law

spective canals. Our attention has been
called to this matter recently through a
canal for the purpose of cleaning it, when

of large acreage of cold and formal

THE OSCEOLA GOLD BEDS.
Bright Prospects of the New conn
pany at These Old Digginss'

Mr.. John Rees, general agent OF the
Utah Central. returned last night from
two weeks visit to the mines of Osceola,
TAYLOR district, and Hamilton, Nevada.
Upon inquiry, reporter learned that at
Osceola and Taylor great deal OF work
is being done.
The Osceola Gravel & Mining Com
pany are working extensive gravel beds
of placer gold by the hydraulic process,
with apparent great success. In the
same grounds placer mining has been
carried on by the panning and rocking
processes for some years, and there are
vet number of men following the old
primitive methods. There are also
quartz mines in the vicinity of the
gold gravel beds, which are yielding
good ore, with prospects very promising
One quartz mill, about two miles from
Osceola, is being put in shape Tor active
work. 1t is reasoned that if single man
by the old rocker process can take out
from five to ten dollars of gold per day,
what will be the limit of the company
with their modern hydraulics now work
ing six nozzles, and using twice over the
continuous supply of water from the
large fourteen-mile canal. Surely
immense wealth lies in store
and an undoubted source of great profit
is guaranteed each member of the COM
pany. Large nuggets are found fire
quently, one weighing twenty-four pounds
having been found which averaged $l7
per ounce. The gold is of good, pure
quality, assaying high, and easily OBJ
tanned since the full head of water has
been secured. The company in which
Messrs. Godbe and Hampton are inter
ested propose to rush matters from now
