HENCE THESE TEARS.

The physician may indulge in some
hope of efiecting cure when the pa
tient is able to tell intelligently what
is the matter with him. Our friend of
the Wichita EAGLE has now reached a
condition where prescription may
be written. lie says that the reason
he grieyes is because two years hence,
the "new aud greater element of the
state will or may kick out of the Re
publican party, on account OF a legis
lature which was guilty of the refusal
of constitutional convention, that
fool maximum rate bill, the lien law
which gives lightning rod peddler
the first whack at your home, and the
attempt to create twenty-five Off ces."
As far as as the "refusal" of the
constitutional convention is concerned,
what evidence has the EAGLE that the
people of this state are suffering just
now for constitutional convention?
Is the evidence to be foucd in the fact
that, in Republican state convention,
chosen directly by the people, practi-
cally no votes at all could be found for
the proposition, or in the further fact
that in legislature elected by the
people only last November, less than
forty votes could be mustered for a
convention? Who knows what the
people want if their representatives
do not? While we are talking about
refusing convention it is in order
TO inquire who has asked for it. As
for the "fool maximum rate bill" and
the other measures indicated, it might
be well enough, before rending ones
garments from basement to attic, to
wait till they are passed.-Atchison
Champion.
We wasn't talking about the state
nor the people of the state, but the
party which has made the state.
And it was not only the things men,
toned as threatened calamities but
the utter unconcern of the Republican
majority as to extrayagaGces. The
schemes which are busily worked are
parallel in number and
amounts in the history of the state. |
For these things, if we ever consum-
the people will hold the Repub-
ican party responsible, therefore the
EAGLES warning scream. There
would be no sense in waiting till the
mischief is done before commencing
The operation of rending our gar
nents. 1t would be too late.

STATE REFoRMAToRY.

A bill has passed the Kansas house
providing for the erection of state
reformstory, but leaving its location
to a commission of three to be APP
pointed by the governor. and at SEINE
point west of the sixth principal mer-
idian. Sixty thousand dollars is the
sum appropriated by the bill for
grounds and building, which building
shall have a capacity of not less than
two hundred prisoners, to be governed
by q board Of three members, who
shall appoint q warden, physician,
chaplain, inspector and clerk, whose
salaries shall be fixed by law, aud no
one under sixteen nor over twenty-five
years of age is to be sentenced to this
reformatory.
The only startling feature to this
bill is the provision that 1t shall be To-
Gated West of the Sixth Princit al Mer-
idian, which runs just west of this city
or sixty miles east of center line of
the state, drawn north and south.
How q majority of the house ever
that a state institution
should 60 west a distance which lacks
only sixty miles of the center of Kan
sas passes our comprehension.
To Mr.. Hatfield we are indebted for
! copy of the bill rs passed with amend
nents noted. In our minds the west
srn suburbs of the metropolis of Kan
sas would be a very eligible cite for
his institution, and for many reasons
to set forth at this time,
but which may be referred TO in case
he bill ever becomes law.

INDICATED SLIGHTLY.

A short time since the EAGLE in
speaking of the Soudanese trouble
asked what are the English in Egypt
for anyway. A short and curt reply
was received and published. where
upon we ventured the opinion that it
was for interest money ON British gold
and for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. One sign
ing himself "Carabineer," deploring
our ignorance, essayed our enlighten-
ment. The fact that two or three cor
respondents then came to the rescue
of the editors intelligence did not en-
,tirely relieve us of conscious ignor-
ance and its depressing effects. We
desire now to call "Carabineer's" at
tention to the fact that he made mis-
take in addressing his letter of en-
lightenment to the editor Of the
EAGLE. II should have gone directly
to the Houses of Parliament, as he
will see by our yesterdays dispatches
that Sir Stafford Northcote, In open
house, put exactly our original ques-
ton to the English government and
followed it up with such an interro-
gatory answer as inclines us to think
that Northcote had been reading the

II would be amusing if it were not

That which has led me to bring
this to your attention is the long ex-

thereby spreads himself over several
squares of paper, in which he aspires
to notoriety on the claim of being an
old settler. Mr.. b. was just what he

tributes of perfect womanhood. The tea
party was very decided success, notwith-
standing the fact that the closely packed
crowd was too much for the "sIeepers" sup
porting the floor, which without so much as
a warning groan gave away, "all at once
and nothing first" and let down
the audience right in the midst of the festiv-
tiles. OF course there was some very pre-
miscuous screaming among the ladies, but
being ground floor, not very "great was
the fall thereof" and nobody hurt.
