HOW DOES 1T STRIKE YOU ?

The Kansas City Times in its Sunday
morning issue heads the dispatch from this
city announcing the fact that Armour &
Co. had telegraphed the editor of the
EAGLE that Mr. Tobin would open up
wholesale butterine and oleomargarine
house in Wichita with the flaming head
line. Another Breeze from Blowtown.
In CHANGING over Wichitas real estate
transactions for last week we find the foot
ings to be S649, $40 80 and the total bank
clearings for the week to be 500, 40 II.
If such figures are to be denominated wind
or blow, then that Wichita is somewhat
breezy would be hard to deny In the
matter of the amount of money changing
hands for real estate, if there can be found
more than two cities west of the Allegheny
mountains in the United States of America
that can equal the showing for the six days
named. the EAGLE will agree to recall the
scream as being premature, otherwise we
insist that the Times deal with such start
ling facts in the sober and earnest spirit
which their importance demands.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ISLANDER.

The Leavenworth Times says, touching
the drug store law that Marsh speaks,
but people ask how does he standf" On
the next page is a column interview of
travelling man, which travelling man makes
out, or tries to make out that Wichita is as
bad, as degraded, as is Topeka. Leaven-
worth and other towns; that thirty or forty
joints exist here; that each joint keeps two
clerks, one to serve out times and fines in
Jail and the other to dish up the poison.
Such startling charges worries us. 1t
surely cannot be. No it cannot be
and they are vile ISLANDERS and
for the sole purpose of directing the atten-
ton of good people from the outrageous
carvings on at such places as Leavenworth
where the saloons are run just the same as
they were before the people solemnly de-
clared in the constitution, and in the law,
that this must not be. Yes, Marsh
speaks, and speaks for the good name and
fame and honesty of Wichita Men who
drink, men who will drink anywhere, and
in spite of any law, no doubt drink in
Wichita, but they don't buy their liquor in
open saloons They must get it either on
the sly, or as the law prescibes, openly at
n drug store. The school of drunkards for
boys, the mandatory of inebriates, the
open saloon, has no existence in Wichita,
and we don't thank any Leavenworth trav-
cling man for SlandernguS.

81 SEE AN ANGEL"

Mrs. Lease in her lecture Monday night
among other complimentary and beautiful
things, said:
''There is no doubt but this question of
woman suffrage will soon be settled by,
according to women, the full benefits of
franchise; or as one philosophical sage,
Capt. W. S. White, of the Beacon, ex-
pressed himself: woman suffrage is one Of
the deadly evils of the near future which
We must inevitably face Even our gen
erous opponent, Col NJ NJ Murdoch, is
ready to enroll his name among the cham
pions of human liberty. 1t is related of
Michael Angelo, the renowned sculptor,
that when viewing a rough, unhewn block
of marble he exclaimed enthusiastically,
Il sec an angel Years ago, when Col
NJ. NJ. Murdoch first came to this sunflow
er-decked vale Of the Arkansas. he looked
abroad over deSolate, wind-swept prairies,
and exclaimed with the faith and vision of
a prophet, Il see city, wonderful Wich-
ita. The peerless princess OF the plUins.
We reap the benefit of his faith and zeal
today. With the far-seeing vision of
seer he reads the futures misty scroll and
sees the disorde ,ly bachelor apartments of
Uncle sam changed into clean, orderly
apartments; the political bribery
and dishonesty thing of the past. He
beholds the muddy pool of politics changed
into the clear, sparkling stream that revivi-
fieS and refreshens and invigorates all with
in its reach and all this wonderful trans
formation is brought about by woman at
the polls, and with Michael Angelo he ex-
claims. Il see an angel

a KANSAN GONE.

Col. George Noble, known to nearly
every prominent man in Kansas a dozen
years ago, who was the superintendent of
the Kansas Pacific road. but who for some
years has been general manager of the
Texas Pacific, died suddenly. at least very
Unexpectedly at Dallas Texas on Monday.
He was taken with fluX and sank rapidly
until the end. Although a great railroad
man he was known as Uncle George,
the poor mans friend. The officers
and employees of the entire Texas
Pacific system held meetings and passed
resolutions of regret.

1t is with no degree of pain pcrceptable
that we direct the attention of our windy

whole brigades Of eastern capitalists in

PRICE OF WHEAT.

Henry Clews & Co., of New York, in
their last financial letter, have the follow
ing reasons to give why the price of wheat
will advance
First-Because the stocks in the United
Kingdom are 100000 bushels less than
one year ago.
Second-Because the official estimates
place the shipments from Russia, from
January l to August 1, this year, at 81
400, 900 bushels, against 81 400, 900 for the
corresponding period last year.
Third-Because the shipments from
Australia have decreased $1,000 900 bush
els.
Fourth because there has been an in
creased demand in Europe and decreased
production.
Fifth--Because the exports from Amer
lea for the first quarter have exceeded 81
600, 900 bushels, and to date have been
about 59, 10000 bushels
The magnitude of our visible supply is
an unimportant factor when considered
side by side with the foregoing.

THE WICHITA AND TRINIDAD.

The Sentinel exchanges all along the
line of the above road are sounding the
joyful news concerning the success and
early completion of the Wichita and Trini-
dad railroad. The Medicine Lodge Cresset
reaches across the fertile prairies and
grasps the hand of Harper in the enter
prise. The Wichita papers have taken up
their pens in dead earnest for the great
railroad artery, which will eventually be of
more benefit to Wichita than any two other
lines. The Attica people are joining in
the chorus, and are, of course, trying to
get the line to take in our flourishing sister
on the west, and Harper will not lay a
straw in the way of them getting it. We
will all join hands and circle to the right
for God, our homes, firesides and this
great conglomerated republic of Southern
Kansas.

OH! GO SOAK YOUR HEADS.

Some one signing himself &c" in the
Beacon deplores the EAGLES Sunday ar
ticle. Ct" is one Of the fellows who
tie Beacon said the other day was excited
only to ridicule" over the EAGLES efforts
in behalf of Wichita. He is Of a feather
with the editor of the Beacon. The EAGLE
we believe is the only paper that has dep
recated this speculation craze, going SO
far as 10 deneunoe the laying off of specu-
lative additions. The speculative spirit
has caused the editor of the EAGLE the
only uneasiness he ever entertained
touching the promised greatness of this
city. But when &C., - the editor of the
Beacon or anybody else says that we did
not draw pen picture of Wichita in Born
Booming" then they simply fail to see
what is going on about them. AS for the
paragraph quoted by &c. in derision, that
paragraph is as true as the sermons
preached every Sunday in this city. Two
good men told US that they didn't attend
neighbor's funeral last week only because
rush of business prevented. we are able
not only to give the name of the deceased
but of the living, also the names of hired
girls, hired men, and Of mothers and
daughters who have done just exactly what
the EAGLE said If people don't in their
hurry and eagerness jostle each other in
the streets of Wichita, then that thing amt
done in any city in the world. &c. and
the Beacon can console themselves
with one idea at least, and that is they are
a lonely crowd for nearly six thousand ex-
ira EAGLES were sold because of those very
articles and twice as many would have been
sold had they been printed. Therefore. the
editor of the EAGLE, if fool, has lots of
company in this town,
No sir, we deprecate as much as any one
can, all such evidences of reckless specula- |
ton but such men as the editor of the |
Beacon and &C" don't build towns in these |
latter days in the west. Should the faith |
of this whole community equal even the
highest promises of those men, and men
like them, Wichita wouldn't have TO ex-
coed three or five thousand people to-day. |
Go soak your heads in the Nile of Amer
lea and quit your criticising and fault
finding, and for the sake of your own
feelings stop reading paper whichis read
by more people than any other paper in
Kansas.

L1NCoLN's WISE WORDS ON LABOR

From the Chicago Advance
There is no landing place on the stairway
from labor up to capital. There are no
bolted doors along the ascent. 1t is treason
to make out an irrepressible conflict be-
tween them. The fact was never better
put than by Mr. Lincoln in his first annual
message: There is no such relation, he
said, ''between capital and labor as as
sumed, nor is there any such thing as
free man being fixed for life in
the condition of hired labOrer
Both these assumptions are false, and all
differences from them are groundless.
Many independent men everywhere in
these states few years back in their lives
were hired laborers. The prudent, penni-
less beginner in the world labors for wages
for while, saves surplus with which to
buy tools or land for himself, then labors
on his own account for while, and at
length hires another new beginner to help
him, This is the just and generous system
which opens the way to all, gives hope to
all, and consequent energy and progress
and improvement of condition to all -

Plaintive scream from the Wichita
EKGLE: us there no such thing as real
progress in Civilization, and must Kansas
fall back to the whipping post of Della
ware and the galiows of Missouri? Heaven
forbid" Why should heaven forbid ?
Isn't the Missouri gallows quite as civilized
as Kansas tree, and isn't sheriff in the
exercise of his duty quite as progressive as
a Kansas mob! How far must one pro-
gress in Civilization to invite murder and
lynch law?-K. C.. Times
That might be hard question for an
average man but for ourself we would pre-
fer any death in Kansas, even being drawn
and quartered, than to die in Missouri by
any divice, however approved

IT'S \ WAY WE HAVE.

From the way brick walls are going up
on several buildings, and from the activi-
ties of carpenters. plaStererS. painters, and
contractors generally a stranger might be
led to believe that the people of Wichita
hadn't yet been impressed with the fact
that the winter holidays were close at hand.
But such a conclusion would be erroneous.

BRING HER WEST.


In discussing the proposition Of locating
the Indian depo, of supplies somewhere
outside of New York city, nearer the base
of supplies and nearer the tribes to be sup
piled which the department has now under
consideration. the Kansas City Times sue
cinctly observes:
Nor should Cincinnati or ST. Louis be
awarded political preferences because Of
former standing amongst the influential
cities of the country and their persistence
in cismoriug for national political recogni-
ton. Nor should the youthful CONNER
cial capitals like Omaha. Wichita and
Kansas City be neglected because Of their
ability to take care of themselves and 10
discount their old predecessors in modern
growth and development II they are
better situated. better able 10 promote and

The English Democracy.

If Thomas Power O'Connor, NJ. p. has
not overestimated the magnitude and i'm
portance OF the recent demonstrations in
honor OF Mr.. Gladstone at Manchester
and other places in England, the people
recently granted the ballot will be a
greater power in the coming elections
than they were in the last. 1t was sup
posed. owing to the great majOrites that
have heretofore been given against the
Premier in the Manchester distrIcts, that
his visit 10 that city would be an igno-
minious failure; but, TO the contrary, it is
stated that the people turned out by tens
of thousands to greet him, and gave him
an ovation such AS no living English poll
tician ever before received.
MIR. Gladstone appears to be making
very satisfactory progress in the cam
paigu, and it is claimed that his oppo-
nents have become so thoroughly alarmed
that they are now working heroically to
heal the dissensions between the Tories
and Wings, and effect hopeful consoli-
datiou against the great Liberal leader.
Mr.. Gladstone's more sanguine support
ers claim that be is going to carry every
thing before him outside of London.
There seems to be reason TO believe
that he will secure a majority in the
next House OF Commons, and that his
policy will be thoroughly indicated, not
withstanding reports to the contrary.
The extension OF the elective franchise
TO some 1000, 600 of the common people Of
England was step that Tiled the minds
OF thousands OF the ruling class with
alarm. There can scarcely be doubt
that it win sooner or later result in the
destruction of the House OF Lords, ana
the establishment OF an elective body in
It's stead. With the arstocracy thus
shorn OF its greatest power, England
would be practically a representative
Democracy.
Although the crown might be spared
for time, the abolition OF the
hereditary prerogative Of the Lords
would doubtless be followed sooner
or later by the destruction OF the throne.
Heretofore democratic ideas nave had
small chance to develop in England.
what with the arisJOcrats and their
lackeys aud retaIners, and the govern
menps power and influence extending
into all the qualifications OF society,
the constitutional monarchy-without
written constitution seemed to be as
firmly established as the island itself.
Probably before another decade shall
pass there will be great political
revolution, in which the demand for
written guarantees or liberty for the peo-
pie will be tenfold stronger than that
which resulted in the triumph OF the
barvns over King John at Runnymede.
