GROWTH.


How would grOwf Not like the vine
Though beautiful and full of grace,
Close elinging to itsresting place,
Where leaf and bl0ssom intertwine,
For teudrils break when winds are high
The best supports, in time, will fail,
And what can weak, vine strength avai
When bruised and torn on earth lief
But like the tree, oh tall and fair,
With roots deep reaching through tht
ground,
With branches spreading far around,
Drawing all good from earth and air.
Drawing all good that l may give
Of my abundance friendly aid
To all who seek my friendly shade,
Or in my screening branches live;
That when this term OF life is past,
And am severed from the ground,
My growth may all so firm be found
That much Of good will life outlast.

thinks Democracy and prohibition

GOVERNOR MOONLIGHT.

Tom Moonlight is hard headed, stub
born old Scotchman Having failed to
convince the people of Kansas that he
ought to be made governor on an open sa-
loon platform, he undertook and succeeded
in convincing Grover Cleveland that he
was good enough civil service reform
Democrat for governor of Wyoming, and
so Cleveland appointed him. The gentle
men who criticised the EAGLE for holding,
during the late campaign. that Moonlight
was only bread and butter politician, and
that he would serve any party which would
guarantee him living and tina; he became
candidate for governor Of Kansas, not
because he ever expected to be elected, bat
because he desired 10 make ii a stepping
stone for demand upon Grover Cleve-
land, must now acknowledge that every

1t is an anomaly in human affairs, and

worse and meaner the sinner the harder he
tries to drag the pure down to his level
We never SAW this fact more strongly eX-

the uprightness of Wichita and feeling
their own degradation, have commenced
to howl "whiskey and drunkenness" at

tflong horn question: the editor of EAGLE
as member of the State senate saved the
''long horn trade to Wichita at a time when
its loss would haze been ruinous and
would have given, another town its pres

was compelled to make great sacrifice for

pair of horses and a carriage was pur-

but the gentlemen-and there was not TO

we can't help Mrs. Leases good opinions
which were furnished with a request to

We haven't had a ten minutes conversation
with real estate men or any man of them in
six months, nor have we desired to, nor
have we bought foot of land in Wichita

never been time in its history when it

will be great, terrible change 1t will
make the holder of the soil turn wild and
take away his health 1t will cause his
head to whirl and his eyes to burn like fire.
1t will turn his heart to stone and his hands
to clawers after gold. 1t will pucker up
his soul until thousand souls of such a
size could be contained within single
mustar seed, and still have as much room
as tadpole in the ocean. 1t will send the
speculative price of land away up, up far
beyond its real worth, and he. who has it
not cannot obtain it, Then the tenant
will be the landlords slave (No govern
ment can be so just or free that the land
lord cannot dictate terms by which the
tenant must abide) In short, the history
of every other country on the globe will be
repeated here.
True, there are still thousands of acres of
available government land, but remember
that the settlement has moved two hundred
miles west within the last three years
Three years more would take us up among
the rocks and crags of the Rocky Noun
tains where the farmer cannot live and the
stock man is already crowded for room.
The price of land will raise all over the
country. but it must advance proportion
ately faster all over the west, and the west
ern cities must grow proportionately faster.
Why, without any change in the popula
ton of the whole country, Wichita, with
her wonderful resources, would draw to
herself population of a proud hundred
thousand. The population of the country
doubles every twenty years. Twice TWEEN
ty-five thousand (the present population of
Wichita) makes fifty thousand-a pretty
good town the worst way you can make it.
But how would she look with five hundred
thousand? That would be wonderful, but
remember that every city from New York
to San Francisco has been a wonder to the
world. Remember that within the lifetime
of one man our country has grown from
thirteen puny colonies to thirty ght
mighty and populous states. Remember
that there are gardens floating upon
streams in parts of the world. Remember
that ours is naturally the best country on
the globe. Remember that there is no
Columbus to find us another Remember
that if you are here it will pay you to stay,
and that if you are not here it will pay you
to come
In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred
and ninety-six, Sedgwick county land will
bring hundred round dollars per acre. land
Wichita will contain within her corporate |
limits one hundred thousand souls. Don't |
forget it. HUMAN
