NOT SOUR GRAPES.

Brother Murdoch of the Wichita EAGLE
is considerably exercised about our Win
| field college To men who have never
been connected with important enterprises
the future of the school may not appear
very bright: but to men who belong to the
great Methodist Episcopal church, which
has built and is successfully running one
hundred and fifty universities and colleges,
and is raising "a million for missions"
there is nothing discouraging in the out
look of the educational enterprise Of the
Southwestern Kansas conference As a
matter of fact, no church school has ever
been started in the west under auspices as
those under which our Winfield college
was begun 1t is very probable that the
EAGLE editor has genuine attack Of the
old-fashioned ailment known as sour
grapes. OF course he will recover, and
in time will learn that the grand old
tend to its own affairs Wichita District
Advocate.
The editor of the Advocate might, if it
was worth the trouble, very easily ascer-
tain that Brother Murdoch was not par
ticularly struck after college whose back
ers asked everything and promised nothing
in return farther than that the conference
would be its friend and patron All there
was to it, and in the absence of any endow
ment or promised endowment, the town
was asked to give the site, to give the
money, and then to give the completed
structure to the trustees of the conference
If the Methodist church is so abundantly
able to attend to its own affairs, what is it
going around and asking people to do all
the work and contribute all Of the money?
And that's just what the Methodists did
and are doing with reference to their So
called college. The conference, as con-
ference, has plarked down very little cash
to help Winfield out, that we have ever
heard of

THE CURSE OF BOLTERS.

The sooner the Republicans Of Sedg-
wick county resolve to rebuke bolters by
squarely setting down on every man asking
for Office who has proved boltcr in the
past, the sooner will the party be relieved
of stabs in the back by traitors, and the
mischeyious work of men who can be had
for pay, and which stabs and mischevious
work are always reserved for the Reat of a
campaign. a man can't be party man
and true Republican. and yet regularly
every election oppose some nominee or
nominees of the party. If such men were
unloaded, ignored, refused membership to
primaries and in conventions, the purer
and better would be the party. a half
dozen traitors can do more harm than a
hundred active enemies 4 man whose in
fiuence or work can be bought for money,
if a man at all, is dangerous man; and as
a member of any organization, political or
otherwise, wherever you find a man, we
don't care how bright and energetic hemay
be, who is ever making some excuse for
fighting this or that nominee of his party,
the quicker he is hustled over to the Dem
ocratic party or the mugwumps the better
it will be for the organization.

COME OUT.

Everybody knows what a crank the old
relic is who edits the Beacon, but it looks
like he had gone crazy. All will remem-
Der his wild rawlings over the appointment
of Judge Wall, and how day after day he
appealed to the editor of the Eagle to
come out over his own signature and
deny having anything to do with Judge
Walls appointment. Now he is bowling
for us to come out in connection with
Judge Wall over our own signatures and
certify to the capacity and ability Of
one Comfy, whom nobody knows and
whom very few people ever heard of be-
fore the Democrats nominated him for
county attorney, and against one of our
own boys, raised almost on a Sedgwick
county farm. Perhaps while the editor OF
the Beacon is cutting such high antics in
the face of heaven and this good solid Re
publican community, he will explain to his
Democratic brethren how long Comfy has
been here and how he happened to leave
Ohio just when he did? The Republicans
don't care anything for the explanation for
they are going to vote for Jones anyway.

VOTE 1T STRAIGHT.

This week closes up the political cam
IGN. 1t has been less acrimonious than
any of its predecessors for years. The
prospect seems favorable to very clear
Republican majority in this county, but
the Republicans had better not rest too sure
of this and put in their best endeavors until
Tuesday night to get in all the votes possi-
BILE to reach The EAGLE fails to see any
valid reason for scratching single name
on the ticket and ADVISES Republicans to
vote straight Republican ticket. The
candidates are right, politically, have been
honorably and fairly placed on the various
tickets, and without exception, we believe,
are men of the highest personal character
and integrity They are therefore entitled
to the support of every Republican. We
advise Republicans not to be drawn away
from duty by special pleadings for votes
for individual candidates on the opposition
tickets, or because of impracricable side
issues They have, to say the least, as good
ton present, and the issues are we'll defined.
Vote the straight Republican ticket and
there will be no regrets.
If any man, it matters not who he is, at
tempts the mugwump plea that he is too
good to vote the ticket straight, and that
therefore you ought to scratch this or that
man, set it down that he has been influ-
enced by unworthy motives, that he is
either interested in trading or that he has
been purchased with price. As we said,
every man on the Republican ticket is inst
as good and worthy rs his opponent, and
is preferable to any Democrat, and no
man who is a sound Republican will try to
make you believe anything else. To get
up trades on personal or local grounds is
unworthy Republican and not manly
Don't do it, Vote the straight fair IN
scratched Republican ticket from top to
bottom.

THE INEVITABLE.

The howl that will go up from the mouth
of the Raw when the announcement shall
for the first time be made that Mr. Gould's
general offices have been fixed for Wichita,
will stretch the mouth of Missouri from
Alton to ST. Louis. Mr.. Gould and the
active members Of his management who ac-
companied him in his late tour Of inspcc-
ton, made no effort to conceal the know
ledge that many of Kansas City's heaviest
firms would be moving to Wichita within a
year. While Kansas City ought, per force
Of her surroundings, to continue to grow,
there is a great cloud which continually
overshadows her, in the possibility, lay
the probability, of 4 collapse in her real
estate values Twenty miles square of
hills, hollows and preciptous and rocky
bluffs, cut UP into twenty-five foot lots and
loaded On to community at fancy inside
prices is fearful thing to contemplate, bet
a more fearful thing TO carry, When the
unloading commences there will be nobody
TO take up the burden and, then, that other
wise promising city will have to 60 through
a sweat which many of her people will not
live to see ended

JUnGE PETERS.

There is really nothing that can be said
against Judge Peters in the seventh con-
gressional district, and the attempts of the
opposition =. =. find something bad in his
record, either public or prl..te;; are as
amusing as they are futile Judge Peters
has not only the largest constituency in the
United States, but it is one Of the most in
telligent as well, and the result Of next
Tuesdays election will testify TO the fact
Commonwealth
There is no trouble touching Judge
Peters case He will be elected by an
overwhelming majority In some OF the
counties he is practically the only candi
date in the field His record is all right,
and the lies started in the last days OF the
campaign have fallen fiat. As for the
Oklahoma question, there was nothing in
the platform on which he was elected, and
no expression of the sentiments of his con-
stituents was ever formulated demanding
either his support or opposition He fay
ored the opening of the territory
as matter Of right, and as
step which in his Judgment
promised to help his constituents as a
whole But had he chose to have opposed
the opening of that territory, the Demo
cratic party could not have called him to
an account, could not have even offered q
criticism, in the face of the presidents atti-
tude. under whose policy it would take a
hundred years to open Oklahoma even.
The boomers of course are anxious to make
lodgment, but many of their number are.
not even citizens of Kansas, much less
voters in Judge Peters district, The boom
er claims that his home is in Oklahoma
The boomers have had for the most part
lot of leaders who were mere yawping adj
venturers and whose minds have been filled
with dreams of wealth and political prefer
ment awaiting them down in Oklahoma
The EAGLE has regularly set down on that
crowd of demagogues, and will continue to
do so. The only use that these fellows
have for a slice of Indian Territory land is
that they might sell it. Some Of this
crowd with Democratic proclivities have at
tempted to set up howl against Judge
Peters. We would prefer their opposition
to their friendship.
The time has come, no doubt, when it
would prove to the interest of Kansas to
open the Territory to settlement. Judge
Peters thinks so and viii work with all his
might to that end, as will the entire Kan
sas, Arkansas, Missouri and Texas delega
tons, without regard to party. In the
! meantime Judge Peters will poll the solid
Republican vote Of the Seventh district
next Tuesday.

A TRAVELLING FALSEHOOD.

Only 81 1000 of the $4,000 promised by
Winfield to the Methodist college has been
subscribed, and unless the remainder of the
subscription is forthcoming the college will
again be put on wheels in search of a loca-
tion.-El Dorado Republican.
This is not true. Winfield has now paid
about twenty thousand dollars in cash and
another twenty thousand in land, and will
pay every cent she has agreed to. The
above is probably based an $50, 900 annu-
ity fund. payable $4,000 per year for ten
years, which was hangning fire for little
while. However. through the energy of
Elder Gates and the public spirit and liber-
ality Of our citizens that also will be pro-
vided within week Rest in peace,
brother, Winfield will redeem her promises.

CAN'T SWALLOW HIN.

Elder Lott, candidate for congress for
this district on the third ticket, in a CONVEX
ton with the editor of this paper. stated
that he had written to the chairman Of the
executive committee of his party that he
would under no circumstances support
such man as Mr.. Branscombc for the
position Of governor of the state or any
other Office, and demanded that he be with
drawn from the head of the ticket Mr.
Lott claims that the explanation given by
the committee is very lame and unsatisfac-
tory. and that as a Christian he cannot
conscieutiously support any man for office
against whom such charges are pending in
a court Of justice, and where it is 50 per
fectly evident that there Is something il
the charges. -Emporia News.

DRUG STORE PERMITS.

Certain Democratic orators are leading
the people to believe that there is drug
store to about every hundred people in
this county when as a matter of fact there
is only one permit in force TO about every
1900 people. They have list of the en-
tire number issaed since the law went into
effect. Many of them were issued 10
clerks. as ii was supposed when the law
first went into effect that the clerks had to
have permits, and many of them have been
revoked.
There is only thirty permits now in
force in the entire county, and it is well
known that quite number of drug stores
have been running without permits.
