STOP LYING.

Taking the cue doubtless from the
Topeka Commonwealth lying dispatch
sent from this city by an emissary of
that paper last Friday in regard to the
prevalence of smallpox in this city, sew
eral papers in the state have gizen pub
licity to goossly exaggerated reports Of
the matter The most notable and at the
same time outrageous among them that
we have seen is a double loaded editorial
announcement in the Fort Scott Tribune
to the effect that one hundred new cases
of the disease occurred here SATURDAY.
and Sunday. and on that statement al
most went into frenzy of alarm for the
safety of its own community. making
all sorts of wild and senseless sugges-
lions. The Tribune receives the DAILY
EAGLE, and after seeing our statement
of the facts in the case for it to make
such a statement as the one we referred
to leaves Us without expressions AIDE
quate to convey our estimate of it.
We repeat the statement we made in
these columns Tuesday morning, to-wit:
Up TO and including the 9Th instant thece
had occurred four cases of smallpox
and four eases Of vrrioloid. and one
death. all of which were reported 10 the
mayor and made of record. certified
copy OF which we have from the clerk of
the city council. Mr.. Fred Schattner.
Since Monday there has occurred one
case of varioloid. This is the exact stu
alton here now.
y physician from Fort Scott WAS in the
city yesterday. whether commissioned
by his city to come here for the purpose
of ascertaining the facts or rot he
did not state) and Mayor Allen accompa-
MED INN to the locality of the cases. and
we have reason TO believe that he sent a
statement by wire to the papers in Fort
Scott. II he did so. and the Tribune hiss
any sense of ma4lliness and honor about
it. it will make PREPARATION as
far as it can for the wrong
done this city by publishing
the doctors statement as conspicuouslv
as it did the other. And this last remark
is meant TO apply to all otherpapers that
have published exaggerated reports con-
corning this matter.
Nobody here is the least bit alarmed:
no apprehension is ieIt that the disease
will become epidemic. and in fact. but
little thought Is given the subject. AMI
il the SOLICITORS friends of Wichita away
from here Will watch these columns and
confine their statements 80 what they
find herein iand we shall continue To
give the true state of the case for their
benetip we shall not complain. BIT
stop lying.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

Let no boy on the farm bewail his hard
lot, saws an exchange. Though he may
have plain clothes. awkward ways and
stern virtues. vet he knows what dollar
is worth The writer. though near four
score years, recollects wildly his home
made jeans coat. and especially the one
he had on when he left home at seven
| teen. to fight the battles of life alone.
And he recollects, too, some of the first
town boys with whom he came in con-
tact, who wore cashmere. made IN more
nobby style than those made on the farm
by good mother. But while those boys
had fine clothes. rich parents, good school
advantages, they had also temptations.
such as the ball room. the saloon, the
private game of cards. and other name
less temptations, which the boy who
has been trained to work ever since he
was old enough to pick up basket OF
chips, has not. 1t is generally supposed
that the city boy has many advantages
over the country boy. But such is not
the case. Our actual experience is that
of the dozen town boys who were well
dressed and had plenty of money to pay
for anything their appetite or fancy de-
sired, and who were rude and insolent to
four other country boys who had Just
gone to town to learn trades. All OF the
first dozen boys, sons of good families,
all passed over the river forty years ago
some in disgrace for crimes. some by
dissipation. while others disappeared
and left no mark. But all of the
country BOYS who were treated badly
by the town boys, and who prob
ably, but wrongfuliy, felt their inferior
ity on account of their clothing, lack of
money and rough manners, became
worthy and industrious citizens. at
tanned to honorable positions into society,
raised families who have distinguished
themselves in literature. i'll politics and
patriotic deeds. and three out of the
four yet live, honored in old age. The
bows who were petted and pampered
sixty years ago are dead. their bones have
rotted and they are forgotten. They
lacked the stern virtues which are so
generally bred into the boys who see and
fell how slowly money is made Oh the
farm.
A boy who wears plain clothes and
works one-half of the year to raise the
money to pay for his schooling the other
half, is far more subject of envy than
the boy who goes to college. has all the
money he wants for fine clothes and use
less Injuries and spends his vacation in
rounds of gaity and riotous living. The
farmers boy who depends upon his own
exertions, wears plain clothes and applies
himself to his study. has grand future
before him. and we beseech him not to
bewail his hard lot in life. He has "a
glorious future. The world is waiting
to see honest life and noble record. The
fields of enterprise have been specially
reserved for his triumph. His destiny
is upward, and the world will do him
homage.

A TRIBUTE TO NEWSPAPERS.

The Andrew jackson League, an I'M
political organization which was re-
Gently formed in Chicago. gave its first
public meeting Monday night at Central
Music hall. which was well filled when
the exercises began. A number of
speeches and musical selections were
given before the chief event of the even
ing, the speech OF Hon. w. c. Cloudy,
who has long been one Of the most prom
inent lawyers of Chicago and a great
power in Illinois politics, occurred.
Mr.. Goudy spoke on the supremacy of
the law. but most of his remarks were
devoted to the press.
After showing that restraint and regu-
lation as applied to nearly every person
and pursuit in life. Mr.. Goudy said:
But there is one notable exception.
The greatest power in civilized society
to-day is that Of the press. and it is prac-
tically llnrestrained and free from regu-
lation by law. This force makes and
unmakes presidents. governors. senators,
representatives in congress. legislatures.
Judges. and all officers in our complex
system of government. 1t is superior to
the executive. Legislative and judicial
authorities because it creates and destroys
them. By the same means it enacts and
enfOrceS or defeats laws. Private repu-
tation, private property depends upon
this unreasonable force. In short, the
Influence of the daily and weekly news
papers and monthly periodicals is omnipO-
tent and omnipresent. This power,
however. is as potent for good
as evil Who exercises this immense
power: The press, the newspapers. But
that is wholly impersonal, and therein
lies the danger. The writer may be
Gen. Hawley. who represents his state in
the United States senate, or the boy just
out of college earning his ten dollars per
week. There may even be apparent edi-
torial articles. but in fact written to
further some corrupt scheme, for which
one dollar line is paid.
As "A remedy for these alleged evils
Mr. Cloudy advises the enactment of a
statute which would require that the
name of the writer of every article-be
it editorial, communication or newS-be
given with it.

FREIGHT RATE TROUBLES.

Yesterday. No further reductions are
apprehended by the railroad officials.
At Kansas City rock bottom seems to
have been reached. The threatened live
stock war. it appears. ends in threats.
AS Il railroad man put it. the Rock Is
land has contracted with the Burton car
works to furnish them a certain number
of palace livestock cars. and these cars
are already building in Wichita. This
being the case. there is nothing for the
other roads TO follow suit: in fact it is an
open secret that several roads in addition
TO the Rock Island have made up their
minds to put on improved live
stock cars without any extra
expense to cattle shippers. 1t is case
of must with them or loss of business.
as there is nothing to gain in cutting
down rates. 1t is :; question whether
the palace cars will work to Kansas Citv's
advantage. At present all cattle from
the west or southwest stop at Kansas
City. and the dealers have the pick" Of
the stock, the remainder going to its les-
tination. With the advent of palace
live stock cars there would be tendency
to ship the cattle through to the east
without selling any 10y the way. 4 cat
tie dealer who was seen on this phase OF
the subject dGcries the opinion that the
new cars viii work injury to the cattle
interests of Kansas City and vicinity.
His reason for his opinion is that Kan
sas City is at present too great live
stock center to be passed by unnoticed.
Where there is a big market there Will
always be a big supply"

For that Reason, Likely.

Newton Republican.
1t is little singular that with all the
fuss about the Inconvenience of having
the capital at Topeka, the people who
run the grand lodges, state associations,
and the far western members included.
all vote to hold the annual encampment
or meeting or convention at Topeka.
There is certainly no obligation to do so,
and so we think the removal of the
capital" noise is merely noise. There is
not a man in central or western Kansas
who had not rather see the capital
removed to its original site, Shawnee
Mission on the Missouri line. than to see
it go to the opposition town" Hence
between insincerity and jealousy the
capital will never be removed.
