Here is what the New York Erening Post,
Independent Republican, says about the
bloody-shirt campaigns in New York and
Virginia:
'sWe did our best to minimize the influ-
ence of the platform nevertheless, and to
fix the thoughts of the voters on the efforts
made to minimize it by others, and on the
good quality of the nominations, though the
letters received from Independents from
both sides showed us it was very uphill
| work. If any success whatever attended
these efforts, i1 was neutralized as SO IN as
the Republicans began to produce their ora
tors. Gen. Carr no toOner appeared in pub
lie than he denounced the President and his
Cabinet, in language worthy of an insane
person as ''traitors and rebels" Soon af-
terward Foraker and Logan were actually
! brought here to below about tho 'bloouy-
sairt, " on their way to support in Virginia
the candidacy of one the most worthless
and dishonest adventurers ever seen manner
ican politics, and this in spite of the ac-
knowledged fact that voter converted or
confirmed in the Republican faith by bloody
shirt oratory could not be found in the
whole State. and in spite of the fact that
thousands have been alienated Or offended
! by the connivance OF the late Admiuis:ra-
tion and Of the Republican Senators at Ma
homes rascalities.'

Newton must certainly be in a bad
row of stumps, judging from the fol-
lowing clipping taken from the Repub-
lican:
ed. Grant bought load of wheat
here the other day for thirty-one cents
per bushel. That night il rained and
the wheat was considerably dampencd.
Next day he hauled the wheat to Hal
stead and sold it for fOrty-fve cents
per bushel, bringing to Newton load
Ofiumbcr for the hauling of which he
received three dollars. Pretty good
days work, wasn't il? Such things as
this are occurring every day. Why
keep them out of the paper! Every
body knows of such occurrences and
all are talking about them. Why
keep silent? What are the business
men of Newton going to do? Are
they going to let Sedgwick and Hal
stead buy all the grain and sell all the
goods this year? 1t is their question
and the sooner they take hold of it
the better"

JUST THE SIZE OF 1T.

If Mr.. Gould pats on such through
trains from Wichita to Kansas
CITY via. Paola, it will but add an
other line TO Wichita's connections
with X. G.. terminal roads, and can in
no possible way effect our present
through rates to st. Louis. But II,
upon the completion of this Paola link,
MIR. Gould should attempt adding local
rates from Kansas City on Wichita
through freight, how much will he
haul.-WICHITA EAGLE.
The building of the Kansas City and
Paola road will give the Missouri Pa
cific system Kansas City connection
but then it will prove of any especial
benefit to Kansas City.
For many years the overgrown town
at the mouth of the kaw flourished
upon the wheat trade of our state.
Kansas CITY elevators are now idle.
Kansas wheat is made into flour at
home. Then came the cattle trade
which has since been largely directed
to Chicago so that our neighbor is left
with circumscribed jobbing trade in
addition 10 being good hog market.

NO FIGHT ON THE BOARD

We are glad TO have the aid of the
EAGLE in the fight against Kansas
CITY, The Commonweali h commenced
it some years ago, and kept it up
singly and alone for weeks and months
almost daily. Scarcely paper in the
state had a word 10 say on the sub
ject, although the citizens of almost
every locality were being robbed by
the extortions practiced in Kansas
CITY. We say We are glad to have the
assistance of the EAGLE in this good
work. But is it not little unjust to
the railroad commission! The COM
missioner system was adopted as a
compromise between those who desire
maximum rates and an entire ''lct
alone" policy. tits quite likely that
the commissioners are following the
law, which may need amending. If it
can be construed to work injury to
Kansas towns and interests, it should
be changed at the earliest possible mo-
INTERCHANGEABLE.
What the EAGLE objected to was
the language of the secretary of the
board wherein he accused the Frisco
OF endeavoring TO place an embargo
on Kansas City's business. It's none
of said secretary's business what be-
comes of the trade of any Missouri
town nor what roads discriminates
against pooling point in another
state so long as such roads treat their
Kansas patrons fairly. If the Frisco
finds il to her interest to give the
towns along her line low through
rate must the commissioners take such
rate as basis and force that road to
do proportionately well by town
which it does not reach by one hundred
and fifty miles? Topeka nor Wichita
nor no other town in Kansas can
compete with Kansas City in
jobbing business if the COM
missioners can force local rates
from Kansas City west. If Kansas
City is to have the advantage of every
rate and is 10 be charged nothing for
transfers" then the only place 10 do
business in the west will be at Kansas
City.
The EAGLE said nothing against tho
board. Its members are sound-headed
Individually and all their actions as q
board have been marked with wisdom
We doubt if for the responsible posi-
tions which they hold another such
board could be gotten together from
the entire state; but their secretary
should not commit them nor should
the howis of Kansas City prevail in
their deliberations.

AsrRANoE STORY.
A Globe-Democrat correspondent
at Waco, Tex, under date Of Sept. 4.
naeraies the Eollowin3 snIrif-sfoer.

A Globe-Democrat correspondent
at Waco, Tex, under date of Sept. 4.
narrates the following spirit-story:
DR.. D. G. McGregor, Q prominent
capitalist of this city. visited q spirit
ual medium some time since. After
the seance commenced the presence
of spirit who wished to communi-
cate with him was announced. The
man in the spirit land, whose name
was given, was an old friend Of long
standing, who had been dead several
years. lie and the doctor had been
classmates at college. The medium
was an unlettered person aud the doc
tor demanded q test. At once the
shadow-land man met the reasonable
demand by writing three letters at
one time on the s!ate-one in Greek,
one in Latin and one in English.
They were all three written at one and
the same time and in q vein in which
the doctor and his dead friend had
been in the habit of writing to each
other in life. OF course thi s test stag
gered the good doctor no little, and
who can blame him if he now feels a
good deal Of confidence in things
spiritual. To say the least of it, it
was a strange circumstance.
DIR. McGregor is q truthful man,
and his statement would be taken BY
any court upon even q graver subjec,
without hesitation. 1t is proper to
say that the seance came of in the
doctors parlor at midday, and the
room was as light as brilliant sun
could make it. The medium sat in
the middle of the room on one of the
chairs belonging to the apartment
and not the slightest deception could
have been practiced either by her or &
confederate

MANNING AND THE GRAND ARMY

1t is subject upon which large
number of very influential and active
people will be glad of accurate inform
alton, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
whether Secretary Manning did, as
reported, express his willingness that
the Grand Army should abe id"
Next it would be interesting to find
out whether he meant it and why he
wished that very creditable organiza-
ton consigned to the internal regions.
The story which is told of this ex-
preston suggests an answer to the lat
ter inquiry. 1t appears that the Sec
rotary of the treasury held an extra
off cial consultation with the postmas-
ter at Albany, who after making a
clean sweep, still left one-armed SOL
der among the employees of the post
Office. In answer to the inquiry of
the secretary, why he was retained,
the postmaster said he was a pretty
good man and the Grand Army had
requested his retention. "The Grand
Army be id" Mr.. Manning is re-
ported TO have answered; "Remove
him at once and put Mike German in
his place"

Attorney General Bradford is in
receipt of many letters from parties in
the southwestern part of the state de-
string legal information on points of
interest to the people in the newly or
ganized counties in Kansas. 1t de-
velops that in consequence of careless
legislation there is likely to be much
serious trouble arising in reference to
the legality of certain acts, notably
one, attaching certain newly organ
lied counties TO the county of Finney
for judicial PURPOSES, and which j. is
claimed is Illegal through a defect in
the title of the act. 1t is said that the
matter has been raised by interested
parties, and that n test case will at an
early date be brought before the su-
preme cOurt.-COmmonw

No sane man believes it. The New
York Worlds gratuitous assertion
that Gen. Grant ever "conc eded the
election of Mr.. Tilden" is absurd.
Gen. Grant was not the kind of man
to talk in that way, nor positively in
any other way, in a case like that of
1876 or II. He favored the commits
sion in the interest of peace and good
will. He knew as all knew that at that
time not less than half a dozen south

mocracy by intimidsti on and fraud

There have been two celebrations in
Chicago. The Socialists had theirs on
Sunday. Tie laboring men had theirs
on Monday. The Sunday celebration
represented the loafers; the Monday
demonstration was that of the work
ers. The Sunday gang talked what is
called nonsense, provided no attempt
is made to put it in practice; what is
called conspiracy TO rob and murder
after its legitimate results have APP
pearcd. The wOrkingmen emphasized
the difference between themselves and
thieves and idlers, by meeting on a
different day, and by the passage of a
resolution in favor of peace, reason
ablcncss and devotion TO the country.

that Mackin will serve his term out.

Sixteen or seventeen years ago the
death penalty for murder was aboi-

increased. After various experiments
with the law. which did no good, the
penalty was Internationally restored,
and the first hanging under it occurred
last week. To please Governor Har-
yey, Kansas dozen years since abol-
ished capital punishment at least in
effect. and its penitentiary holds many
man whose life should have paid the
nenalty of cold blooded murder.

WICHITA A CITY

The EAGLE is making a desperate
fight for more railroads, and against
the building up of Missouri city, by
the people of Kansas. We see no
good reason why the people of this
great state should not take Il deeper
interest in the building up of n grand
city within her own borders instead
of that of some foreign state. Wichi-
Ia TO day has the bulge on any city in
the state and if the people of central
and western Kansas can have city of
immense population within their
grasp, is it not TO their advantage TO
lend helping hand towards the ell
larging of the city on the Nile of
America, and thereby have a better
market nearer home for their pro-
duets, and when they want
to purchase, be able to compete
successfully with Kansas City or
any Of the large cities of the east? AS
long as we are residents of Kansas,
let each and every individual have the
welfare of the state at heart, and as
such there must necessarily be a Chi
cago in our midst, and Wichita having
the best possible show TO become the
city of the west, therefore ii stands
our people in hand to aid her in every
possible manner, aid her in securing
more railroads, aid her in building
manufacturing establishments, pack
in. houses, etc, and see if you will
not in the future receive liberal re-
ward for SO doing, that you would
not otherwise receive should you con-
iinue to aid Kansas City and ignore
Wichita's claims. This i. question
that will bear serious and careful con-
sideration, and one that must be set
tied ere long.-Sedgwick City Panta-
