PLUMB AND OKLAHOMA.

The Beacon tries TO shoulder its want of
faith in Senator Plnmb's honesty touching
the Oklahoma matter on to the shoulders of
the EAGLE. This paper has never misrepre-
sented the senator on that position. For a
year or more il has announced over and over
again that Senator Plumb leaned TO the side
of the boomers. 1t said distinctly, and in so
many words that Senator Plumb had said
that while at one time he entertained some
fears that the opening of the territory to
settlement might for time initiate against
Kansas, that now he believed Kansas old
enough to take care of herself and her own
interests as against the compe-
tition of anyone, and that he would
not only not oppose the settlement OF the
territory but would introduce a bill to di-
rectly accomplish that very thing which he
did. So far as the EAGLE is concerned, and
its course as to any question. the Beacon
by this time ought TO know that aside from
the judgment of its editor no man or set of
men ever controlled its utterances for a mo-
ment, and that if at any time the contrary
seemed true it was only because the adj
vice given conceded with the judgment of
its editor. And in this respect We hope the
Beacon does mt judge of the Eagles stand
ard by its own.

KICKS AGAINST THE PRICkS.

Now that the tribunal against which it is
only folly to kick, that the people, in their
sovereign capacity, have settled beyond all
controversy, that they desire that John j.
Ingalls, shall be returned to the United
States senate and when the senator and rep
resentative of its own county during the
canvass openly and at all times declared
that they should so vote, the Beacon de-
velopes regular tempest in a tea pot in op-
position. Its editor, last evening makes
several quotations of extracts from the sena-
tors speeches. We will wager years sub
scription to the EAGLE against two years of
that of the Beacon-and everybody will I'M
derstand the great odds We are giving,-that
he may ramsack the senate journals and all
the political speeches made during the last
campaign and he cannot find an equal num-
Der of extracts containing as many import
ant political truths set out in such except
ionally royal, loyal, succinct and wonder
fully fine English AS that contained in the
extracts from Mr.. Ingalls, speeches quoted.

SARATOGA SUNSHINE.

EDITOR EAGLE.-Accept a few items
from our thriving little town. We are stu
ated on the north bank Of the Minnesota
river about the center Of Pratt county. We
number about FIVE hundred inhabitants,
have six grocery stores, four carrying n
mixed stock Of dry goods and groceries, two
hardware stores, two drug stores, all doing a
splendid business. We also have one bank,
the bank of Saratoga, operated by Geo. A.
Lewis & Co, doing an excellent business.
Our newspaper, the Saratoga Sun, ably
managed and edited by Frank Caps and
Morton Abbaugh. The Minnesota mill
company are owning and operating one of
the best mills in southwestern Kansas, hav-
ing daily capacity of about eighty barrels
day. The mill was rented for term of
five years, taking effect January LIST, 1885.
Messrs. Cooper & Waldock being the lessees
OF the mill, the business capacity and ener
gy of those gentlemen gives the utmost as
surance that success will attend the work
ings. A good substantial church is ours to
boast OF, having services by the United
Brethren, Methodist and Presbyterian de-
nominations. Good schools, well attended
by the children, made full Of interest by
competent, faithful teachers, are ours TO en-
JOY. The following secret orders are estab-
lished here, good membership and in splen
did working order: Free and accepted Ma
sons, ancient order of United Work, Knights
of Py;hias, and the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
We can say with some feelings of pride
that few towns in the state of Kansas, con-
sidering the age, can make as fair showing
of prosperity. of moral elements, of solid in
ducements as we can.
The weather has been extremely cold, the
indicator going down to 16 and Is below
