The stock market to-day exhibited much
less activity than yesterday. The opening
was attended with some excitement, but there
was considerable pressure TO sell ana the eX-
pected reaction took place. Much of the SELL

being above those in London. There was an
advance OF nc IN sterling exchange, due TO

DENVER AND WICHITA.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
DENVER, Col. Oct. 9-Thinking a few
lines from this meek of the woods" would
be of some interest TO the great and good
EAGLE. l venture to submit you this letter.
To begin with, the weather is simply
charming. almost like early spring, and il
is asserted that it will continue so in all
probability until the holidays. Denver is
certainly beautiful city, with its broad
streets and avenues and its magniicen,
public and private buildings. giving evi
dence everywhere of the vast wealth
that has accumulated here. Just now
the city is all agog concerning the
opening of the Manufacturers Exposition,
held in the Mammoth Rink, which though
too small for the purpose, serves to give a
fair idea of the industrial activities and
resources that Denver possesses. The
opening exercises on the evening of the
eth inst, drew together an audience Of per
haps four thousand people who were ad-
dressed by Hon. r. W. Woodbery Esq,
President of the Chamber of Commerce.
and the occasion passed off with much
eclate. Matters political are rather .xcit-

WOMAN AS A RULER.

The Clearwater Times t....oucht thai
Helen Cougar had forced the editor of the
EAGLE to capitulate until he read oul
welcome to Susan Anthony and her com
panions. No, my friend, we have only
agreed with a committee Of ladies, to an
armistic, which is to hold good throughout
the coming session. In the mean time
there can be 10 harm in giving Mrs.
Beecher's opinion about those who rather
be any place else than at home:
Let home stand first before all other
things! No matter how high your am
bition NAV transcend its duties, no matter
how far your talents or your influence may
reach beyond its doors, before everything
else build up true home! Be not its slave;
be its minister! Let it not be enough that
it is swept and garnished, that its
silver is brilliant, that its food is
delicious, but feed the love in it, feed the
truth in it, feed thought and aspiration
feed all charity and gentleness in it, Then
from its walls shall come forth the true
woman and the true man, who shall to-
gether rule and bless the land" Is this an
OverwrOught picture? We think not.
What honor can he greater than to found
such home? What dignity higher than
to reign its undisputed honorcd mistress?
What is the ability to speak from public
platform to large, intelligent audiences, OF
the wisdom that may command a seat on
the judges bench, compared to that which
can insure and preside over a true home,
that husband and children rise and call
her blessed?' To be the guiding star, the
ruling spirit in such position is higher
honor than to rule an empire

1T COSTS TOO MUCH!

To the Editor CT tie Eagle.
GODDARD, Oct 11.-Will you allow me
to talk to the farmers and business men OF
our county through your valuable paper.
If SO, | desire them to consider well thG
constitutional amendment that is now
submitted for their consideration, and foI
their adoption or rejection at the polls this
fall 1t adds two additional judges to the
supreme bench, and pvovides that there
may be two more added when needed,
which means four additional judges within
two years, at a salary of 5000 each or
$50, 600 annually. Now, gentlemen, there
is not one word said about this matter by
the lawyers or politicians, and if it receives
the support of 800 votes, and no opposition
is offered, it will become part Of
the constitution and then we are
bound to stand il. But before it
reaches this point, we should at least dis
cuss it, and learn if possible how
we are to be benefited by its adoption:
When the salary of the judges of the su
preme court are to be doubled, and the
number of judges more than doubled, it
should be considered well before adopted,
this year when we have lost our
crops and all hands striving to make our
expenses.
Our three judges now cost us $500 per
year, whereas if this amendment is adopted
it will cost $35, ,000 Now then, why raise
the salaries of these judges when our state
officers. our members of the legislature, our
district judges and all these officers are re
cciving starvation salaries? Is it right? Is it
just?
Would It not be better to call a constitu-
tional convention and remodel the ''old
thing all over?"- What say YOU?
Respectfully submitted.
