A LEAFLESS TREE.

For years the people of the United States
have good naturedly permitted all degrees
of foreign cranlls to publicly, through the
press and from the rostrum, to denOunce
America and her political industrial,
religious and social institutions. Conscious
of enherent strength and believing in the
triumph and continued sway of virtue and
truth these fiends and devils have been per
mitted to air themselves, their threats and
advice being looked upon as little else than
the froth of rawlings which could not by
considerable number, therefore harmless
But the assassination of Garfield for one
thing and the Outrages committed and
property destroyed in connection with
strikes later on has had the effect to force a
discussion of the policy of shutting oil and
driving out these people as dangerous.
Later came the numbering of the Chicago
police. Now we bave number Of these

CORN. KING CORN!
Sedgwick County and the Arkansas Val
lev for 1896

1t is the judgment of the EAGLE, not
withstanding the many discouraging reports
of the past few weeks, that Sedgwick coun-
ty will gather the largest crop of corn ever
grown before There were few fields
and a very few, which the dry, hot spell
practically ruined, and few others the
prospective yields of which were materially
affected, bun the fact remains undenied that
by far the greater number Of fields are in
the highest possible state of promise.
There are fields in this immediate valley,
the proprietors of which claim can hardly
or possibly fall short of seventy to ninety
bushels to the acre. Sedgwich county re-
turns one hundred and fifty thousand acres
of corn planted for the year 1886 or more
than any other county in the state, so far as
we have noticed the reports. One hundred
and fifty thousand acres at an average of
thirty bushels 10 the acre would give us
four and half million bushels of corn,
and we presume no one will ask us to put
the average lower
What is true Of Sedgwick countys corn
crop and prospects is true also OF several
ad Joining counties In fact the great Ar
kansas valley as a whole, or that part of
Kansas west of the Flint Hills and south
of the center of the state will produce
a larger average yield than any other sec
ton of corngrowing country of which we
have been advised. A part of Sumner, all
of Harper, Kingman, Pratt, Harvey and
Reno, together with Barbe-, Commanche,
Clark and Meade, will have good corn,
some of them excellent yields.
1t being an undisputable fact that the
great cora producing states of the west will
not harvest to exceed fifty or sixty per cent.
Of an average crop this year, if indeed that
much, then the EAGLES advice of two
weeks ago that corn must bring a round
price will be found sound. If corn should
bring round price and Sedgwick should
have six millions of bushels 10 sell or to
feed. and the counties named as much in
as their average, then the great
Arkansas valley will have no little spare
change. In other words, with the failure
ahead recorded of corn east of us and our
,wn present assurance of a fine crop the
chances are that before the holidays our
'armers viii have forgotten their short
wheat crop.

NOT GOOD AUTHORITY

II now turns out that the ''big blow the
EAGLE has been making about the real es-
tate transfers in Wichita this year, have
been purchased almost exclusively on time.
The money which actually changed hands
was barely enough to pay the registers fee
for recording the deed. Lennon of the
Newton Republican, is our authority, and
we know he wouldn't lie about so small a
matter. Murdock, fess up, or kill Lennon.
Eureka Republican.
If, in speaking of Wichita, the people OF
Newton ever did anything else we have
failed to hear of it. That anybody here
ever cared. we do not believe As for the
money" and real estate transactions our
people are not lunatics that they should
have paid the register over one hundred
dollars a day for months for recording DO
gus deeds of make believe sales. As who
is to '.fess up" We confess that any man
who maintains that any town or city IN the
state ever showed anything ike the amount
of real estate transfers shown by Wichiia
the past summer must be either a liar or q
lunatic or both.

REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

Now that the Wichita postmastershir
fight is settled it may be hoped that the
newspapers of that pleasant town may
dwell together in harmony There is {
great deal of offensive partisanship il
Wichita that should now be buried in al
era of good feeling The recognition OF
the Smith family even in the humble ca
pacity of Village postmaster is IA subject
of general rejoicing and copglatulation.-
Kansas City Times,
A subsidized press will necessarily have
to be watched No mere postoffice organ
should be permitted to misrepresent or mis-
lead the people The crack of the party
whip is indeed offensive and he who is
thereby infiunced is more than slave \,
it is Republicans who universally read
papers and write letters and who therefore
constitute the great body of the patrons to
postofiices. we don't know that the EAGLE
is obliged to heed any racket from the
Kansas City Times in favor of the Smith
family only because the Wichita posiottice
branch of the Smith family swallows the
politics of the aforesaid Times. The Times,
in its anxiety. is further informed that for
eleven years and eight months. at least. the
Wichita postoffice has not been in any
sense partisan machine. As for the gen
eral rejoicing and congratulation alluded
TO by the Times, everybody is congratulate

THEN AND NOW.
The Distinction Between the Republican
aud Democratic Parties.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
One hundred and ten years ago, when
The representatives. of the Colinists affixed
their names to the Declaration of 1ndepen-
dance, they knowingly committed treason,
which the paternal government of England
punished by the penalty of death. Who
would have the courage to read this trea-
sonable document to the people. John
was rebel Irishman. His house was af-
| forwards burned by the trained Brigands of
England. Who would have the courage to
print and publish this immortal document
to the world, knowing that the penalty was
to be hanged, drawn and quartered. John
Dunlap, born in Tyrone Ireland, was equal
to the occasion.
Little did these and others think
when perishing with cold and hunger in
Valley Forge whilst battling for the right
of man. that their heroic sacrifices should
be described by the American ambassador
to England rs "a mistake, a misunder-
standing between cousins who have become
brothers" This is the language used by
one minister to the court Of St. james. at
public dinner in England The patriotic
custom of celebrating the Fourth Of July in
England has been discontinued by our
minister, Phelps. who seems to bc deterinin-
ed To misiepresent public opinion in order
to please the right honorable and honorable
scouudrels who style themselves the British
aristocracy. If Blaine or Ben Butler was
president of this republic our representatives
abroad would not dare to insult the memory
of our patriot dead. At home it Is no bet
ter. Secretary Bayard is deaf to the appeals
of our hardy fishermen whose vessels
have been seized by the British pirates. and
they themselves treated with indignity, be
ing forced to pay large sums Of money for
having done in the ports Of Canada what
English and Canadians are freely allowed
to do in our ports, But 1t Is a remarkable
fact that the London Times, the organ OF
the Tories. nominated Bayard for the po-
sition he now holds, and our Democratic
president accepted the nomination. Under
this so-called Democratic administration
the republic has been brought 10 degrasia-
ton and dishonor. 1t Is an inconsistency
for which I cannot account that any Of my
eountrynen. who imbibed hatred Of the
English government with their mother
milk. can 90 ON election day TO the polls
and vote for the nominees of the Demo
cratic party. England owes her greatness to
commercial and manufacturing supremacy.
The Democratic party by it, English policy
of free trade seeks TO open our ports tor the
admission Of English made goods. thereby
enriching the Factory Lords Of England
at the expense Of our mechanics and manu-
fac,urers. In the name Of common sense
