The steamer Zealand, with Maxwell,
the alleged st. Louis hotel murderer,
on board, arrived at San Francisco
on the morning of the 10th. Maxwell,
when questioned, positively refused to
make any statement respecting the
crime he is charged with, saying he
had been strenuously advised by his
counsel before leaving Auckland not to
open his mouth except to put food in
to it. He looks cheerful and says he
never felt better in his life. The officers
were equally reticent, declining to dis
cuss the subject of the crime or Max

PRESS. ETC, ETC.
There need be no soicitude, whatever, as
to the provisions to be made for the accom-
mediation of the Republican State Con-
vention, to be held in this city on the llth
Of June. They will be ample and satis-
factory in every respect, not only for the
Republican, but for Democratic and
Prohibition State Convention, if either or
both should be held here-on separate
days, or, indeed. on the same dAy2 And
we may add that, if National Republi-
can or Democratic Convention should
ever be located here, the people Of this
city would welcome it and would am
ply provide for all who should attend it!
1t is not safe TO set any limits to the enter
prise, public spirit and patriotism of the
citizens of Springfield. Specimens Of
their nerve and grit were shown at the
Mayors Court Room, Thursday evening,
where were assembled several hundred OF
our best citizens--of all political parties.
A full report Of the proceedings is given
elsewhere.
At this meeting it was determined, FIRST,
to erect an Ohio State Wigwam in the
Market Space, (on securing the consent Of
the City Council,) which shall have an
auditorium which shall seat at least 1000
peopl", with stage that will seat 500.
Then, If likely to be needed, gallery can
probably be added that will hold l,OOO

Company will put wires and instruments
into the building, and it will be illumi.

BILE for thu suggestion Ample provision
will be made for reporters and other repre-
sentatives Of the press.
1t was further decided that ample
preparation should be made for the
satisfactory entertainment of all persons
who shall attend the convention or who
shall visit the city on the day it is held.
Private honses will be opened, either for
the shelter and feeding of delegates and
visitors, and we have no doubt many will
be cared for free Of expense. Springfield
is very hospitable city and will more
than maintain her honorable reputation in
this respect
AS to representatives Of the Press we
venture to give the assurance that many,
if not all, Of them will be spoken for" by
our citizens for entertainment at their
homes--all Of whom, we have no doubt
will feel honored by the acceptance oi
their proffers by our nevspsper friends
from abroad.
II is now an established, authenticatsd
indisputable fact that ampler and bettel
provisions will be made for the conven
ience Of the Republican State Convention
in this city ON the llth Of June, and fol
the comfort Of delegates and visitors, thar
were ever made for any convention 10 Ohio

The New York Tribune, OF Wednesday,
does up our late unlsmented Legislature
in the following truthful and forcible style:
The people Of Ohio are congratulating
themselves ON being rid at last Of the worst
Legislature that ever disgraced that State. II
began it, work, according to the staienent OF
Democratic newspapers and politicians, by
selling the ofice Of United States Seuator to
the highest bidder. On those statements one
house passed recently . resolution OF iuvesti-
cation, but it was strsngled in the other
branch. The disgraceful partisan legislation
to re re-organize the cities of Columbus, CIeve-
land and Cincinnati followed the redis,ricling
OF the State 90 as TO give las Was supposed J

Local indebtedness was increased several

the public burdens, and the other public in-
stit0tions were recognized for partisan pur-
poses. The House was dominated by ruffisu-
ism, members and even pr, siding officers be-
ing publicly denounced during the sil,inps of
that body BY fellow members as blibe-takers,
liars and horse thieves. and the Dsmocra,ic
majority reiusing to discipline the tff,nding

Kansas City will no doubt follow.
If comnercisl greatness is alluded to,
the question SO far as western Missou-
ri is concerned is foolish one. West
ern Missouri never produced anything,
not even Kansas City. The only
trouble with Leavenworth, st. Joe
and Atchison is that they are too near
that same western Missouri, too near
its catfish and cabins, its flop-eared
hounds and train robbers.
To question The ability of Kansas to
produce permanent greatness would
be insulting, if it were less foolish.

ious, is permeatcd with greatness

THE FINE COUNTY OF PRATT

10 the Editor OF the Eagle.
This may properly be classed among
the new counties, which have been
settled mp during the past two years
although its organization dates back
to 1879, and even as late as last fall
there was considerable government
land yet to be pre-eInpted. The compile
ton of the Wichita Il Western road TO
Eingman, however, seemed 10 be the
stimulus required for lis rapid settle
ment, and six months ago every un-
occupied quarter section had been
taken. Its a common thing TO picture
in bright and golden colors The rich
soil. genial and hcalthful climate, and
other advantages TO be found in the
Western counties: but this is county
the praise Of which, a yet. have not
been fully shown, as il has without a
doubt the finest body of land in all
of Southern Kansas. Pratt county Is
located in the second tier of counties
from the south line. and $50 miles from
the west line. and 300 miles from the
east line of the State The soil is all
that can be desired. and mostly
of dark nulatto loan, slightly
mixed with sand. which makes it easy
to cultivate. Water of the purest
quality can he easily obtained at
depth of from twenty to eighty feet.
There are chances here for the farmer
that are undoubtedly very favorable
towards his success, and a man with
only thousand dollars can secure a
quarter section of land that in three
years, with ordinary care and judg-
ment in making his improvements. viii
be worth at least five times that
amount. An important consideration,
and one not generally known, is the
fact that settler can realize quite a
respectable sum from his first year's
crop, aud it is a common occurrence
among many farmers TO secure yield
of from forty TO fifty bushels of corn
and from twenty TO thirty bushels of
wheat from the first planting. Fruits
and vegetables of almost every kind
yield abundantly, and SO well satisfied
are the majority of the settlers with
the soil and climate that they are max
ing their improvements evidently with
a view of remaining. Thousands of
trees are being planted along the road
and on the farms, and in three or four

A SCORCHER.

1t is simply the truth of history that
Senator Edmunds put into one terse
sentence in his speech at the Madison
Square meeting IN New York. Here
it is, all of it: II don't care to repeat
what has been said, tonight, of the
purposes of our great party. l only
have just 10 add, from an experience
of twenty years, face to face with the
Democratic party in the senate of the
United States, that it is only true TO
say that no simple measure of lesisla-
ton for the interes. and welfare of this
people, for the preservation Of its lib
critics, for the protection of its indus
tries, for the security of lis inhabit-
ants. from one end of the country 10
The other, has ever passed, except
against the vote of a majority of the
Democratic part, in both houses"
The gravity of This declaration lies in
its truth, ard the records of congress
for twenty wears, yes, for tweniy-four
wears. may be searched in vain for q
contradiction. II j. not in the nature
OF things that such party can be
permanently successful.
