& STARTLING STATEMENT.

A Wichita clergyman has been found
bold enough 10 give what he calls the dark
side of the city He makes the startling
statement that he has seen more runken-
ness in Wichita in one week Than he has
seen in Denver in year. There Is tine
field for this clergyman. He should be
sent as missionary to Topeka. Kansas
City Times.
We didn't hear of such a sermon, and we
don't believe that any clergyman Of WITCH
tia made any such statement. But admit
ting that such statement was made, 1t
wouldn't prove that Wichita was q more
Incorporate place than Denver. The clergy
man in question may never have been III
Denver, and if he was in order to see the
drunkenness Of Denver he would have
to be habitue Of her saloons, her brothels,
her gambling houses, her hotels and her
club rooms, while in Wichita, under the
Kansas law intoxicants must be purchased
in drug stores, which drug stores cannot
harbor man in liquor, Or even allow such
all one 10 drink Oh the premises; therefore
what few drunken men Wichita may have
would naturally be found upon the streets
or in tie cooler However, Kansas City is
about the last place on this mundane sphere
that can afTord to criticise any other place
concerning either whisky or drunkenness. |

a MISTAKE.

Wednesday morning, or rather late
Tuesday night, a dispatch reached the
EAGLE over the wires from the west to the
effect that the D., NJ. & \. and Santa Fe
had downed the Rock Island in Meade
county. There seems TO have been no
truth in the dispatch nor any sense 10 it.
The D., NJ. & ~ nor the Santa Fe were
not even asking for any bonds and no
propositions from either of those roads
were pending before the people of Meade
county. We are unable to figure out why
such a dispatch was sent. The D., VI. &
A, we had heard, expected to choose the
best route for them through that county
and then 81 bmit township propositions
along such route.

TEE NEW ASSISTANT BISHOP.

Rev. Alexander Mackay- Smith, who was
yesterday elected assistant bishop Of the
Episcopal diocese of Kansas, graduated
from Trinity college Of Hartford. lie was
for some TING the assistant Of Rev. DIR.
Huntington, now Of Grace church, New
York city, when he was rector Of the
Episcopal church at Worcester, Mass. ;
afterwards he became city missionary in
Boston. From Boston he was called to St.
Thomas church, New York, as assistant
TO the Rev: Dr. Morgan. The health of
DR.. Morgan being very much impaired on
account Of his extreme age, almost the en-
tire responsibility eff the parish rested upon
Mr. Mackay- Smith. He has given the
greatest satisfaction while connected with
this parish. He is young man, about 81,
of fine physique, an eloquent preacher, and
decided missionary spirit. Within the
past few weeks he has resigned his position
in ST. Thomas church on account of over
work. and viii take month or two of rest,
probably, before undertaking any other
work.

A RAILROAD TO THE LODGE.


It is said that the Wichita 6 Trinidad
railroad is, in fact the Rock Island road.
It is also said that this road contemplates
reaching Medicine Lodge on one Of two
routes: either from Wichita direct or by
way Of Harper Our people are not asleep
and a committee of citizens is now in cor
respondeucc with the Rock Island people
with the view to learning what they want
Something will develop about this line in a
few days.
But the latest railroad talk is about the
Fort Scott road. 1t will be in IIaZelton
this winter, or early next spring, and being
at outs with kiowa, the officials have been
making inquiries about route TO Medicine
Lodge There is possibility Of the road
coming here and our people should not lose
sight of it. A direct line to Wichita would
be great thing for Medicine Lodge. We
would prefer a road from Wichita TO one
from any other direct;on.-Barbe County

WHEAT PROTECTION.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

| To the Editor OF the Eagle.
| One of the large wheat raisers Of this
| county was on our market a few days ago
and sagely remarked that while No.
| wheat was now worth sixty cents per
bushel here, that if it were not for the
tariff on foreign wheat it could not be sold
on this market for more than thirty cents
per bushel. This statement was endorsed
by grain merchant in this city who said
the tariff excluded the cheap wheat Of In
i7ia. This seems to be an error believed
generally in this state How any intelli-
gent person can be deceived on this subject
is beyond my comprehension. Even
as intelligent a statesman as Hon
orable Rodolph Hatfield, a man
who is clear headed On most subjects, and
whom we all honor and admire, in his
great speech Oh the tariff at Memorial hall
just prior to the election, endorsed this
common error The United States ships
her surplus wheat TO Liverpool and the
price of that surplus governs the price Of
all the wheat in this country. India ships
her surplus TO the same market. Then how
could tariff twenty cents per bushel lev
jed on ludian wheat shipped into this
country protect American wheat On the
30th day Of November No 2 red winter
wheat was worth GO cents in Wichita, SO
cents in New York and 81 OF in
Liverpool. 1t seems to me that
it would be queer tariff that
weuld prevent the pauper farmer of
India from shipping his wheat to New
York and selling it for eighty-nine cents,
when he can just as cheaply ship it to
Liverpool and sell it for one dollar and one
cent per bushel The fact is India does
lot want to ship her wheat to this country, |
and a tariff On foreign wheat no more pro-
ects American farmers than a mosquito |
bar would protect e ''yearlin" calf against
| Kansas blizzard.

FORT SCOTT AND WICHITA LITIGA-
TON.

The St Louis, Fort Scott s. Wichita
railroad is attracting attention through the
application of Il minority of the stockhCld-
crs for the appointment of a receiver, and
the proposition, when this is granted, to
bring asut for an accounting against Mr.
Gould individually and the Missouri Pa
cilic. The road extends from Fort Scott to
Wichita, with branches to Anthony and
Newton, 4 total mileage Of 2J0. The gross
earnings for 1855 were 1888, 05i So aud
for this year they are estimated at over
$1,000, 600. In 1892 Mr.. Jay Gould ac-
quired control by purchase of a majority
of the stock at $40 share In December,
1885, Missouri stockholders were invited to
subscribe Sc, 000,0 00 of their stock TO pay
for This road and several small feeders. =
Chicago Times
OF the $6,GiA855 capital stock of this
road and its branches the Missouri Pacific
owns now $1,000, 600 and the cities and
the cities and towns $400. 900, the balance
belonging to private parties The Chicago
d Alton, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
Rock Island or st. Paul would naturally
jump at the chance of securing this line in
10 southern Kansas. But the road forms
TO important link and its branches 100 im-
portant feeders for the Missouri Pacific

a NEW TOWN

The newest speculation by the Santa Fe
or parties connected with it is a new town
out on the headwaterS of the Chika,kia
river al the present proposed terminus of
the Mulvane extension in the southern
part of kingman. We are reliably III
formed that number of side tracks are
being put in and that spread will be
made, at least as much of spread as the
solid towns of kingman, Medicine Ledge,
and Harper will permit, which Will prob

ABOUT SETTLED.

The Emporia Globe thinks the Okla
homa question is practically settled, or
rather the railroads have settled it. A
prominent gentleman now engaged in the
condemnation of the right of way
for railroads in the Territory, says that
the commander of the troops in the Terri
tory admits that it will be impossible for
him to keep the people out. There are
now about 1000 people at work on the
railroad, camp followers. etc. who
declare their intention to stay there. They
will follow the road as it goes south; mean.
time picking out their locations. 1t would
take the whole United States army to run
The people out, and most of them would 90
back Immediately after being escorted over
the line. The best thing that can be done
is Tor congress to pass "A bin at the coming
session TO organize the Territory. and let

how. and Mr.. Cleveland and his little army

them out as a bad Job.

d a. from near the southwest corner of
Beno county TO luka, Pratt county. was
commenced this week; and if the weather
holds good luka will have a railroad in
good time for spring boom. In the mean
time we suggest that Saratoga and Pratt
might have done smart thing by holding
the county seat while they had it, as Iuha is
liable very soon to prick her ears UP and
to call the attention of the people to her

If western farmer can imagine what
would be his condition and that OF his fel-
lows in case the manufacturing establish
ments of the country were closed, and all
the people employed in them were made to
be farmers instead Of manufacturers, it will
not be difficult 20 understand that any
effort in that direction would be attended
with proportionately injurious effects. The
surplus grain of our farmers which is now
sent abroad is only about eight bushels of
every 100 raised. The other ninety-two
bushels are sold at home. That shows
how big thing our home market is, and
the farmer who does not regard It as worth
fighting for must be shcrt-sighted, indeed.
