may be, shall. under penalty of being
deprived of their natural right to earn
their bread. be forced TO sacrifice their
individual freedom and independence
by joining the union of labor; that
they shall. against their own wishes or
interest, stop work and wage-earniny

DOWN IN HARPER.

The editor of the EAGLE has re-
ceived number of letters from peo-
pie living in Harper county and in the
southwestern portion of this county,
making enquiries as TO whether the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific peo-
pie were backing the Wichita, Harper
and kiowa railroad scheme, petitions
for which have been in circulation IL
has been but few days since the
EAGLE in response to such call stated
emphatically that the Chicago & Rock
Island knew nothing of the Wichita,
Harper and kiowa company aud had
in no manner authorized its organiza-
ton or its directory to submit propo-
sitions in Harper county or elsewhere;
that the Chicago and Rock Island road
wss going south from Wichita aud
east of Harper county. Having since
learned that the editorial alluded to
had been critised by parties in interest
We asked Mr.. NJ. A. Lowe. the gen.
eral manager of the Kansas extensions
of the Rock Island, on Monday if
he or his company had authorized any
such movement as is now being made
in Harper county in the name of his
company. He said that they had not:
and not only that but further that his
people had no idea of antagonizing or
in any manner interfering with the &.
Wood Davis road. the line of " ich
runs from Wichita southwest through
Harper. We viii only add the word
that the EAGLE is not interested in
any way in this controversy further
than the interests of Wichita are con-
ccrned. Wichita wants road to Har-
per and so does the EAGLE. and our
only fear is that through these thrert-
ened complications we might lose 4
sue thing, the construction of the
Chicago, ST. Joseph and Fort WORTH
road.

ENGLEWOOD, KANSAS.

The Star OF the Western Empire is pic
turesquely situated near the wooded banks
OF the Cimmaron River, in the center Of q
large and beautiful valley-the grandest
wheat, corn and grass gre wing country In
the world; destined to be the great rail-
road, commercial and manufacturing centre
OF sunny southern Kansas, because Of nat
u-al surroundings, beautiful location, and
the many railroads now projected and build
ing toward it, being rs II is the supplying
and Quitting point for the new Oklahoma
of the west. "The'public land strip, (which
extends 100 miles to the south and west and
which comprises the most wonderful grain
and grass producing soil on the globe, is
the great cattle field in the west. No other
town In western Kansas Is so favor
ably situated to become large city, and IL
cannot be disputed that Englewood holds
the key to the commercial trade Of vast
area Of untold and ever increasing wealth;
its prospects are unequalled, and its rise
and progress bids fair to he unparalleled in
the history Of this western country.
Euglewood will not wait years for . slow
increase OF population TO bring IL into no
tice, as hundreds of other cities have done.

SHE IS PECULIAR.

More than once yesterday we heard
"Wichita is big town." just how
large Wichita is cannot be seen at q
glance, aud the ''large" means, by the
speaker, the number of houses. Ii
these gentlemen could take time to
visit the different branches Of trade
90 into the wholesale hOuses,-visit
the manufacturing establishments
see the real estate boom, they would
become convinced that Wichita is
larger than they have any idea.
1t is impossible for one man and all
the force he can employ to keep track
of the ego" Wichita possesses. More
land changes hand in a day than in
the combined cities around Wichita
put together. Last week $4,000 was
refused for twenty feet front on Doug
las avenue As each Monday rolls
around, the price of property ad-
vances, and prospective buyers of the
week before kick themselves for not
buying, as the delay in price is a mat
ter of many dollars.
The merchants are substantial bust
ness mel, and allow no shelf to be-
come empty-keep everything in their
line, and don't ask the earth in pay.
In short, Wichita is the Garden OF
Eden of Kansas, and she plays with
out a Resident.

Wisdom Devouring Her Own Children.

OF late years it has struck me with con-
stantly increasing force that those who have
toiled for the advancement OF science are in
a fair way of being overwhelmed by the
realization OF their wishes. 1t has become
impossible for any man to keep pace with
the progress of the whole OF any important
branch of science. IL he were to attempt to
do SO his mental faculties would be crushed
by the multituies of journals and of
voluminous monographs which too fertile
press casts upon him This was not the case
in my young days. A diligent reader might
then keep fairly informed OF all that was
going on without robbing himself Of leisure
for original work and without demoralizing
his faculties by the accumulation Of unas-
simulated information
IL looks as if the scientific, like other
revolutions, meant to deyour its own chill
dren; as if the growth of science tended to
overwhelm its votaries; as if the man OF
science of the future were condemned to
diminish into A narrower and narrower
specialist, as time goes on l am happy to
say that do not think any such catas-
troghe a necessary consequence OF the
growth of science: but do think it is q
tendency 10 be feared, and an evil to DO
