POLITICAL EUNUCHS.

The Kansas City Times is industriously
employing its editorial columns in bolster
ing up the political coinage made by the
mongrel convention at Emporia in which
the hens were only equaled by the ROSTERS
in the number of eggs laid. The incuba-
tory efforts of the Times are doomed. Such
eggs never hatch They lack the vital in
gredent. Both roosters and hens cackicd
loud and long enough, but door-knobs
could as easily be pullutated into anything
like "a promising reality as that nest OF ad-
died SINNERS produced by such political
eunuchs and growing hens as concocted the
mongrel layout produced by the st. John
third party convention at Emporia. Will
the Times please get off the nest and leave
the unnatural MEDICATION to the heat which
will cook later in the campaign?

IOWA DEMOCRACY.

The following is the famous plank IL
in the Democratic state platform in Iowa:
That we favor the repeal of the present
prohibitory liquor law of this state, and
the enactment in lieu thereof of law Sc
curing TO each county and municipal cor.
poration the right to determine Tor itself
the prohibition or licensing OF the sale OF
intoxicating liquors as beverage; provid-
ing 10y proper Legislation for the enforce
mept of prohibition where prohibition is
adopted, and where license is adopted for a
license fee of not less than five hundred dol
lars with such legislative restrictions as Will
promote sobriety and suppress free
whiskey.'
The Keokuk Gate City says this commits
the Democracy to prohibition in SO of the
80 counties of Iowa.

THEPREs1DENTs INCINCERITY.
From the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
President Clevelands warning to heads
of departments about official participation
in politics, says the New York Tribune, Is
rather the shallowest sham of tbs era OF
shams. Here is solemn letter addressed
to the seven cabinet officers, who meet face
over the presidents table. Does the letter
convey to them any new information about
the Presidents purposes? If it does, why
has the president so long hidden from his
associates hsintention to carry outhispledge?
But it does not, what conceivable reason
can there be for publicly saying to these
seven men what he could have said, and
ought to have said far more emphatically,
many times over during their official con-
situations?
1t is cheap fraud The president knows
perfectly well tn at the rule laid down in
this letter is and has been cOntemptuOusly
disregarded by officials in every depart
mcnt without exception. He has known
this for months, and he has even made a
great many appointments which ne knew
were made for the express purpose Of plac-
ing great political influence in the hands OF
skilled and INSCRIPTIONS party workers,
Instances of shameless activity of various
officials in political and party management
have been brought to his attention hun
bred times He has never removed a sin
gle official for that offence, and does not
now. But he thinks the people of this
country sufficiently green to be fooled
by repetition of injunctions which his
subordinates disregard and defy every day.
1t happens that this sham letter is obvl-
ously called out by a peculiarly fragrant
case of violation Of its injunction. The
Cincinnati Enquirer, few days ago. called
public attention in the most cutting man.
ner to the conspicuous activity or new OIL
cials in certain Ohio congressional dis
trict, enumerating the officers who took
part in convention and who, in fact, had
packed the convention by use of .theil
official influence, and denounced the
abuse in strong words which were
reprinted and Eaced before the president.
He could not effect any to believe that nc
abuse existed. But he would not remove
or censure single official Consequently
he has sent out this Pecksniffian letter tC
| the men who sit at the same table with him
supposing that the public may be gulled by
it. Nothing has occurred since the presi
dents Inauguration to show more clearly
the insincerity of his professions and essen
TALLY fraudulent character of his admins
tration than the publication of this missiv'
under the peculiar circumstances.

WICHITA WATERWORKS.

The Cry is coming up from many of the
cities and towns of the western states. of a
lack or insufficient water supply. Dozens
of places are threatening dire things where
the water is supplied by companies or cor
porations The worst result we have yet
noticed comes from St: Louis, where forty
odd acres Of lumber yards were burned up
and only because of a lack OF water. The
dtouth has worked disastrously in other
places where the water plants have been ut
terly unable to s0pply the drain upon them.
Nearer home, is the city of Emporia, run
ming her own works, Holly's complete
system of double engines and double pumps
NTH iron main and supply pipes. The way
Emporia works it is to let one-half the
town use water for yards in the morning
and the other half in tbs evening, allowing
no one to use water during the day and still
they are short.
Now the EAGLE has no particular love
for the Wichita Waterworks company but
it does love fair play We have been
drouthv ourselves. and it is safe to say that
no town or city was ever more reckless in
the use of water than has ours been. All
over the city, for weeks, hose have been
turned on lawns, and fountains have been
going day and night. Streets in many por-
tons of the city have been kept wet down by
adjoining property owners, and we have
yet to hear of any one calling for more wa
ter. One night this week at 2 O'Clock we
found dozen hose running full force on
to sidewalks and streets, set by owners be-
fore retiring Such thing would be per
mitted by few if any owners of water
works. Of course all this has tendency
to keep the supply fresh and pure, but it at
the time struck us as bordering on the lib
eral An engine running in this office takes
water at all hours of the night, and nothing
less than forty pound pressure viii an
swer, yet it is very seldom rs weak as forty
pounds to the square inch.
As we said we owe the Wichita " Water
Works company nothing, not even good
will, or for complimentary service OF any
character. but still believe in being just be
fore generous

A GREAT COUNTY.
A GREAT COUNTY.
SEDGWICK STEPS TO THE
FRONT.
First in Population. First in
Wealth, First in Prosperity.
Eleven Millions on the Assessment
Rolls and Forty Thousand on
the Census Tables.
More Miles Of Railway, More Acres In Corn,
More Old Corn on Hand, More Wheat In
Bin Than Any County in the Great
Central State.

The marvellous growth and development
of Sedgwich county for the past twelve
years are, probably, without parallels in the
history of this or any other state, east or
west. Within the time mentioned Sedg
wick county has sprang from the very bot
tom to the very top in products in wealth,
in population, in all those things priced by
the most cultivated and prosperous civiliza-
TONS
In conformity with our past rule to at
least once year publish the official returns
made by the assessors TO the county clerk,
we give in an adjoining column tabulated
statement showing the value of real, per
sonal and railroad property by townships
together with the totals of all taxable prop
erty, totals Of population, numbers of live
stock and all by townships. In addition
we also give an appendix showing other
valuable and interesting statistics, all certi-
fed to by County Clerk E. p. Ford, who
had the kindness to make up the table from
the official returns. The table is not so
much in detail as published in former
wears but the totals of the appendix cover
every important item Comparing the to-
tails for the years past the showing is very
gratifying, even with that of last year as a
marked increase is shown in almost every
item
In acres in cultivation and in the great
cereal, King Corn, Sedgwick county isnow
the king of the state. No other county has
or can show one hundred and fifty thous-
and acres of corn fields, in this state, and
probably in no county of any other state on
the continent
In population it will be possible for only
two other counties in the state to reach
forty thousand. Shawnee and Leavenworth
may do so but their returns have not yet
reached us At any rate, Sedgwick, one Of
the youngest counties, stands in population
side by side with two of the Oldest and
greatest counties in the state if she does not
lead them. In wealth Sedgwick undoubt-
edly leads. The eleven millions Of dollars
returned on from one fifth to One-third real
value means that we have, as a county, not
less than forty millions of dollars of prop

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.
ON the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
The Champion congratulates the Wlch-
tia EAGLE on the success of the great
southwest. The Champion attempted a
long time ago to induce the EAGLE to come
to an understanding as to the exact bound
aries of the great southwest, but the
negotiations were broken off, owing 70 a
difference abont the line running through
Emporia. the EAGLE refusing to say
whether the line should run in front or in
rear of the state normal school building.
Thus the great question has remained unset
tied until the present hour. when we
learn from the EAGLE that in the nomina-
ton of DR.. Allen of Sedgwick county, for
secretary of state. and Mr.. j. W. Hamilton
of the adjoining county Of Sumner, for
state treasurer, the great southwest has
gotten the recognition which is its due.
This is gratifying, inasmuch as il assures
us finally that the great southwest Is sat.
isfed. and also settles the boundaries of
that section. 1t consists of Sedgwick coun-
ty and the counties adjoining 1t.

A GUESS.

From the Sterling Gazette.
In few weeks cars will be running on
the third line across Rice county from east
to west, accommodating travel and traffic
in two directions either on the north in the
center or on the south side. With the com
pletion of the missing link of the Missouri
Pacific system between the Wichita and
Colorado, now at Hutchinson, to Sterling,
Lyons and the region of Kansas Center,
there intersecting the Salina and Denver
line, access will be afforded every part OF
the county to reach every other portion OF
the county, and nerly everybody will have
needed facilities for north and south trans
portation, as well as IA choice of competing
lines east and west from within our own
county. thus greatly increasing the useful
ness to us of each of the three east and wes1
lines. This accomplished and the necessity
for trains between any two trading points
in the whole county will be at an end.
