| Colonel Marsh Murdock and Jay Gould
drove over Wichita together the other day
Mr.. Murdock asked too much for the town
and would not throw in the EAGLE. Mr.
Gould did not buy.-Topeka Journal.
There has been no little chafing indulged
in, not to say fun. over what Mr. Gould
promised and failed to promise the various
towns, during his late visit to the west.
Now, Mr.. Gould stopped longer at Wich-
ita than any other town in the west, hold
ing his train the second day for more than
an hour and half to enable certain Wich-
ita gentlemen to accompany him. During
the day and half and the two nights spent
here and in the vicinity we did not hear of
a promise being made by him, and we feel
perfectly safe in guessing that he made no
promises to any town or the representatives
Of any town. 1t amt like him. He don't
do business in that way. He never wastes
any breath. Mr.. Gould acts. He issued
some orders, however, the executing of
which will be Of greater interest to Wichita
than thousand promises
As for the rest, of course Mr.. Gould did
not buy the EAGLE; the EAGLE amt for
sale, and nobody has got money enough to
buy it; but Mr. Gould can and does quote
the EAGLE more extensively than any other
paper in the wcst-and we honor his good
sense-and when we say west we desire to
be understood as including Missouri and
Kansas City, which city, by the way, never
did know to which state she really be-

PROF. s. ID. PENCE.

Professor S. ID. Pence, the Republican
nominee for county superintendent OF pub
lie instruction, has been putting in more
time with his work among the teachers of
the county than in pelitics. He never
knew anything but hard pains!aking work.
Educating himself and educating others
has made up the sum Of his life. How
few men could have overcome the obstacles,
seemingly unsurnountable, in the way he
has overcome them. None can fail to adj
mire the mau who understand the disad-
vantages he has been compelled to labor
under. Withal he is ever hopeful, san
guine and happy. AS an educational man
he is energetic, untiringly so, enthusiastic
and earnest AS county superintendent of
schools he would not waste moment from
the day he was sworn in until the end Of
his term. Whatever may be said in favor
of his scholarly and accomplished oppo-
nent none will deny Mr. Pencc's eminent
fitness and deservings, none deny his mod
esty and honest worth

A MEAN USE OF A SPECIAL.

A dispatch was published in this paper
Saturday concerning subscription to the
stock of the Chicago & Rock Island road in
Kiowa county. 1t seems that the dispatch
has been twisted in its meaning by enemies
of Hon. F. E. Gillet, of Kingman, and to
his detriment. There was no reflection On
that gentleman in the dispatch and none
intended. The party who wrote the dis
patch did not dream of Mr. Gillct being
rcmiss in his duty, much less ever heard
that Mr.. Gillet was in any way to blame,
either nearly or remotely. There was moth
ing rejecting on him. If there had been it
turns out that both companies had perfect
transcripts of the election and commission
ers proceedings, which fact Mr.. Gillet
knew, and nothing was or could be accom-
plished by the destruction Of the records
which he as well as the attorneys of the
Rock Island also knew No mutilation of
the records can effect the status of either Of
the roads. The mutilation seems to have
been made in the interest of real
estate speculation. 1t would not have been
made in the interest of any railroad. At
any rate the negro in the woodpile"
has no connection with the railroads
or with either Of their attorneys, certainly
not with Mr. Gillett.
The following dispatch received from
Mr. Low shows that the Rock Island Off
cials have no sympathy with the contempt
iblc fight made upon Mr.. Gillet, in using
an innocent news dispatch to the EAGLE
against him:

TWO STRONG MEN.

The two is, Jones and Jewctt, have
proved solid factors in the campaign. The
opposition has been made to realize the
facts that the people of this county know
that when the superintendent of the State
Insane Asylum said that Jewett was the
best probate judge in the state he told the
simple truth. The estates of widows and
orphans have been as safely and conscien-
tiOusly handled by him as he could have
handled the property of his own children.
The interests Of every insane person have
been not only carefully looked after but the
personal comfort and welfare Of such un-
fortunates as we'll As for G. W. G.. Jones
it turns ont that no man ever ran for Office
in the county who was more popular. He
is square, honest and rot above his business
therefore he has hosts of friends.

OUR REPRESENTATIVES,.

Hatfield, Lawrence and Carpenter are
making splendid canvass this fall In
them Sedgwick county viii have united
and energetic delegation, who will work in
harmony with Senator Kelly. Hatfield
and Lawrence with their past experience,
and Carpenter with his youth and activity
and with his more than ordinary alert
makeup, will let nothing of Importance to
this city or county escape him. If any
thing occurs in the lower house this win
ter, either on the floor, in the committee
rooms Or in outside caucuscs that Arthur
Carpenter fails to ''catch on to" we miss
our guess 1t is probably all well enough
for old communities 10 have staid and delib-
erativc representatives on the floor of the
house, but our experience has been that for
active work and accomplished ends an am
bilious young man is the best As for Ar
thur Carpenter there are few brighter,
more energetic, wide-awake and ambitious
young men anywhere, therefore his value

Messrs. Lawrence and Hatfield acquitted
themselves SO satisfactorily last winter that

course, as will their reelection. 1t would

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Your correspondent had the pleasure Of
visiting this thriving little burg one day

find so many well filled and commodious
business houses, in town which has the
competition of the county seat. Winfield,
situated directly west Of it. The business
interests Of the town comprises some forty
or fifty different firms, representing all
classes of trade. Three solid banking in
stitutionst two fiourishing newspapers. and
two hotels
Burden became town with the building
of the Lawrence and Kansas Southern rail-
road, and was incorporated about five years
ago, since then its growth has been steady,
sure and substantial, and has now popu-
lation of between ten and twelve hundred.
Many Of the store buildings. including
a very pretty hail or opera house are con-
structcd with the celebrated Cowley county
stone, which gives the town most solid
and substantantial appearance. The side
walks and guttering along the main bust
ness street are also substantially laid with
this superior stone Burden is very fortu-
nately located and commands the trade of a
large territory. extending to the state line
on the south, and for nearly as great dis
tance OH the north. At present the citizens
are thoroughly aroused and anxious for the
building of the Wichita, Cedarvalc &
Southeastern railroad, ard will do every
thing in their power to further this splendid
enterprise.

THE OLD GAME.

Complaint reaches us almost daily of the
unfair methods and false representations
being resorted to by the opposition TO DC
feat the Republican nomines 1t would
in our judgment, prove a waste of time and
spsce 10 allude TO some of the stories set
ailoat for the reason not one Republican in
hundred in Sedgwick county will be in
luenced to any Considerable extent, GER
iainly not to that extent that he would vote
the Democratic ticket under any guise.
There no doubt is a class, (but in this coun-
ty Of old ey-s0ldiers the class is very thin in
character and weak in numbers) whose
members are ever found with the party in
power. These viii embrace the first op-
portunity to go over 10 the Democracy.
These will 60. excuse or no excuse But
tho great body of the Republicans of Sedg-
wick county.are Republicans from princi
pie, are Republicans because it cost them
an invaluable price TO be such, are Repub-
licans from conviction, from principle.
Such Republicans will stand by their NOM
inces, by the action of they party though
Democratic misrepresentation were as
plenteous as huckleberrics
Wichita eagle., 1886-10-26

Mr. Blaine states the case q lrifle loo
strongly, perhaps. when he declares tha,
I've have lived to see negro suffrage ia the
south absolutely destroyed Il is tr,,e that
the power of the colcred citizens down
there to elect Republican 10 congress, or
to assist in the election of Republican
president, has been completely nullihed;
but they are still permitted 10 vote when
they are willing to support the Democratic
ticket. The difference between this and
utter disfranchisement IS small, to be sure.
but it is worth mentioning. nevertheless.

POPULATION.

Leaverworth county is now, as it always
has been, the most populous county in
Kansas. Shawnee county stands second.
The largest gain made by any Kansas
county is that made by Sedgwick. She
first took rank in 1870, when, as regards
population, she ranked at The forty-eighth
place She now ranks third, having at
tanned that place in fifteen years.-Atcli-
son Champion.
Sedgwick county had on the 30th day of
June last 40,ss9 people. In three months.
or since the census was taken, she has in
creased from three to five thousand. The
next census taken by Kansas will show
Sedgwick county in the lead in the judg-
