damus. In case of plain breach
of constitutional duty, the right Of
impeachment would exist, but that can
proceed only from the house of repre-
sentatives which is composed OF his
friends, and from whom no hostile
movement could be anticipated.
Should the senate wish, in view Of his
deciination to transmit papers or other
evidence, or give reasons for his &C
ton, they could decline to confirm the
appointments of those persons who
had been designated in place of sus-
pended incumbents.
"The designated persons, however,
would continue 10 discharge the duties
of their respective Offices, and be ell
titled to receive the legal cOmpensa-
ton therefore, until the adjournment
of the senate. after which, as l have
said, the suspended person would be
reinstated. But the power of the
president to suspend is unlimited and
all that he is required to do, is to sus-
pend again and designate the same
person, and report the same at the
next following season of the senate,
and so continue TO the end Of his ad-
ministrstion. Therefore there is no
possibility of any peril or danger to
the public service.
"The question is purely one Of poll
tics, which the people will ultimately
be called upon to decide, in passing

VERY COMPLIMENTARY.


Our Representative Mr.. Rodolrh
Hatfield seems 10 be winning golden
opinions as a legislator, and many
complimentary things are said of him.
From the Kansas City Journal of day
before Yesterday, we have: "Mr.
Hatfield is one of the rising men OF
Kansas and win some day will be rec
ognized as one o. our state leaders,
if he keeps on as he has during the
past two years." And again yester-
day in the Topeka Capital: "One OF
the strongest members on the floor OF
the house is Mr.. Hatfield, & Sedg.
wick. He commands the attention OF
every member whenever he rises fo
speak. He is eloquent and logical"
The EAGLE congratulates Mr.. Hat
field on the above expressions OF his
ability and deservings.

The Emporia Republican says the
fight is between Wichita and FL Dor
ado for supremacy, with the chances
in favor of FL Dorado. In that event
we will try and get away with the bag
gage. Quite complimentary indeed,
and quite unexpected. However we
will try to keep in the front rank of
the professionally Dorado Republic
can.
That partakes of the spirit which
WIS. The truth of the matter Is, and
Wichita sees it, FL Dorado is going 10
make a greater town commercially
and in manufactures. finer town So
cially, more prosperous town gener-
ally, with lighter taxes, than several
cites whose papers talk so glibly of
showing Wichita under. The truth is,
and disinterested parties generally see
it, FL Dorado is very flourishing and
rapidly growing county seat, the
prominently leading town of one of
the biggest counties in Kansas, in
which great county there is not a
town claiming to lead or expecting to
rival FL Dorado, which cannot be said
of several other would-be rivals of
Wichita. We suppose the Emporia
Republican thought it was perpetrat-
ing a huge joke in dilating upon the
rivalry between FL Dorado and Wich-
tia, but FL Dorado is the making of a
bigger city than Emporia, and because
OF her superior environments. Ell Dor
ado is a delightfully."- situated city of
five thousand people and with not a
surplus man, woman or child, which
means much.

SPARE OUR BLUSHES.

Governor Murdoch! Does that not
sound rather strange! Still there are q
great many of the fraternity who are
endeavOring 10 connect our highly es-
teened friends name with that i'm
pOrtant office. While we believe Mr..
Murdoch is in every way qualified to
fill that responsible position, yet, if we
mistake not, the EAGLE and the
building up of the "future great" are
of far more Importance to Marsh MUIR
dock than the gubernatorial seat can
ever become. He probably thinks as
much of becoming the governor OF
this state as he does of being reap
pointed postmaster at Wichita. He
has had enough to do with political
matters to know that there is no finan-
cial benefit to be derived from any
office, and to sustain life and
provide for family upon
"glory'' is something that would
not be relished TO any great
extent by one who has been living on
the fat of the land. Should he become
a candidate for such honors. the Kan
sas City papers would no doubt be
only too glad to lend helping hand
toward electing him, and by go doing
they would in measure be relieved
of the terrible punishment they are
now receiving at his hands. The bust
ness men of Wichita and Southwest
Kansas will consult their own inter
ests by keeping Marsh Murdoch where
he is to-day, at the head of the EAGLE,
the brightest and best daily paper in
the state. There are other men in
this section of country who would be
only too glad to have the opportunity
of becoming governor, and whom the
dear people of this valley would miss
less than they would Marsh, hence our
desire to see him remain at his post,
where he can accomplish far more
good for the ''bappy valley" than he
could when he became our next gov
ernor.-Se dgwick Photograph.

present will not be changed, unless it
should be for the purpose of making
the coinage of silver free. l am
strongly in favor of placing gold and
silver upon the same footing, but am
not sure that we can accomplish this
The west is a unit upon this ques-
ton. The east is nearly solid against
us, regardless of party. The south
will stand by the west upon the pro-
position, the ex-rebel soldier and the
ex-union soldier, remarkable as it may
seem, will be found standing shoulder

A great cry is raised because silver,
as it is claimed, has decreased in It's
intrinsic value. II all the influence
that has been brought to bear against
silver had also been used to depreciate
gold, the latter would have been as
much affected in its intrinsic value
as silver has been, and perhaps more.
During the past forty years in the
history of this country the intrinsic
value of silver has remained more
steady and equible than has the In
trinsic value of gold. Aside from this
silver is one of the most important
products of the country. 1t is unrea-
sonabIe that the legislature of this
country should be directed to destroy
this interest. But over and above al
these considerations is the one thai
the characterization of silver tends to
increase the obligations of the
debtor class, and thereby injure
the people who have need of legisla
tive assistance. The man who is rich
can prosper without the fostering
care of legislation. 1t is the laborins
man and the poor man who have neec
of such protection. The presen
movement to demonetize silver and
depreciate its value simply tends t.
increase the value of gold, and if all
obligations now payable in coin could
by law be made payable in gold coin
the Wall street operator and specula
tor would reap rich harvest. | All

TIE ST. LOUIS TRUNK MURDER,
The Corpse Identified by Dentist who
Filled the Murdered Mans Teeth.
(OlklaHG (Cal) TriJune.)

(Oa&lGnd (Cal) TriJunc.)
The solving Of the 81. Louis murder
mystery is about TO take place. 1t has
been disputed by the Insurance colnpa-
MES, with whom Prcllar, the alleged
victim Of the above murder, was in
sured, that the dead body was tat of
Prellar. The claimants of the insur-
ance money, TO verify their claims,
have had the body di>intcrrcd and the
head severed, with view to prove bv
the teeth, which had at some time been
filled, that they possessed Prelar's
head aud that Prcllar was dead. This
method of proof was suggested by the
hnhing among Prellar's effects OF a
rec"lptcd bill bcarinG date Of March
20, 1873, setting forth that certain
teeth in Prellar's jaws had been flied
by DR.. E. T. Burncite, of Oakland, at
the time when Prellur was visiting
this State. a few days ago, DR.. Bur
nette received letter from the claim
ants lawyers, asking him whether he
performed certain dental work for
Prellar at the time mentioned and
whether he could identify his work.
DR.. Bnrnettc III referring to his books
ct that date found the entry, also Il
description ofthe work performed and
has written q reply to that effect. The
case will hinge upon DR.. Burnettc'>
testimony and he expects TO be sum
moned to st. Louis TO testify as an cx-
pert.
