WICHITA IS NOT JEALOUS BUT MAD

The Commonwealth says that Wichita
is jealous. and that the EAGLE fears that
Topeka Will gobble all the deep-water
honors. As for that, the EAGLE thinks
that Topeka will gobble anything not
beyond the capacity Of a we'll trained
and constantly exercised outlet. AS for
the deep water scheme, Wichita employs
the Galveston harbor for five tons of
freight where Topeka does not for one.
At the late deep water convention held
at Fl. Worth, which convention called
the one at Denver, the state of Kansas
was represented and solely by the two
delegates from the Wichita board of
trade. 1t is doubtful even if Topeka
knew of the convention. 1t is certain
that but for Wichita Kansas would
not have been heard of in that
convention. the first vice president Of
which was the president of the board of
trade of this city. But out at Denver, to
have heard the Topeka delegates talk,
stranger would have been led to infer
that Topeka was the whole state of Kan
sas and part of Nebraska, and that
Mulvane was the whole of Topeka. Ii
Topeka wants little roundup on the
deep water business from Wichita, '.or a
stand up and knock down, she can be
accommodated.
AS for the Commonwealth assertion
thai Wichita wants the next deeD-water
convention, but Topeka will get it," is
only on par with the unapproachable
cheek which has become the sum total
Of all Topellas aggregations, and with
out which she would be less than a rele-
gated exclusion or depleted omission.
What Topeka wants with deep
water, or water of any degree,
would be hard to tell, unless it was for
the unnecessary expedient of watering
whisky already too much weakened.
There is nothing in Topeka, or of which
Topeka is composed, materially or other
wise, which the shallowest kind of water
wouldn't float without any strain.
One of the saddest, as it is one of the
most instructive, sights to be met with
on this terrestrial sphere of counterfeit
substitutes. is an exhausted gas-hole
loaded with mute wind, and shorn of the
power either to raise smell or produce
sound. The state of Kansas would have
been represented in the Denver conven-
ton by one of the most thoroughly &C.
complished deep-water men and other
wise cultivated transcontinental gentle
men, and whose name modesty alone
prevents q mention. but for his fore
knowledge that it was five hundred
mile dusty trip at the end of which was
no deep water, but Topeka gall, Topeka
cheek, and only humiliation for the de-
serving and competent gentleman refer

DOWN IN ARK ANSAS.

EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. 12.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
There is much about this place that is
quaint and curious. The hills have been
thrown together in the utmost conftI-
sion, the canyons and gulches intersect-
ing at every conceivable angle. The
streets form a terraced labyrinth and
the buildings, in conforming to the irreg-
ularities Of the surface, are exceedingly
odd in architecture. Nearly all forms of
disease with which poor humanity is
afflicted are represented here, some
reaping the reward of their own trans
gressions, some suffering from accidents
incident to life. and others unfortunate
IN their inheritance. Nature, great
in her benehcence and infinite
In her charity, has provided
these waters bountiful for the healing of
all. Away from the busy world, its
cares and anxieties, breathing this in
vigorating atmosphere, drinking these
pure waters (the purest KNOWN, and in
in the contemplation of the grand and
beautiful scenery there is recreation for
mind and body.
Eureka Springs is 273 miles from
Wichita-one nights ride. There are
forty springs within the city limits, no
two alike. Ninety per cent Of the cues
effected here have been by the use of
the waters of the Basin spring. The
population is estimated at 5000. The
numerous hotels furnish entertainment
suited to the tastes and condition of all
classes. We know of no place so easy
of access to Wichita people where one
can spend a week or two more pleasantly
and profitably. G. S. NJ.

The interior of the church was taste
fully decorated with flowers and ever

under huge bell of pink and white bal

organ, executing Mendehlson's Wedding
March with effect as the party passed
down the aisle. The church was crowd
ed with friends of the couple, many from
distance. Two representative bellies
from the blue grass region of Kentucky,
sisters of the groom, were present and
acted as bridesmaids.
Some of the dresses were as follows:
The bride was dressed in a charming
combination of cream silk, gros-faille
and MORE, en- train, veil and orange
flowers, diamonds.
Miss Mamie Cole, first bridesmaid, a
poem in pink surah and MORE; pearls.

after which there was dancing and a SER

best locations in Kansas for good mill.

A HARMONY THAT COUNTS.

The Standard says what the Demo
Gratis Of Sumner county want more than
anything else is harmonious action.
What the Democrats up this way seem
to want more than ANYTHING else is votes.
and they don't seem very particular how
they get them, or what they are like or
where they come from, Just so they are
votes. And they don't seem to be anxi.
Gus either that the votes shall be for the
whole ticket. but only for that portion of
1t which the ring concluded not TO give
10 the Union Labor fellows. There is no
mharmonv upon the part of the Demo-
Gratis of Sedgwick county. The few
Wichita bosses have trained the rank
ana HE to that extent that they would
vote for Prohibition colored man pro-
vidinG said cOIorei man was in any deal
which was TO help the bosses. No doubt
there are some politically decent Demo-
Gratis about Wichita, and we believe we
know few, and we respect them as
such, but for buying. trading and dick

employed TO questionable ends without
any reference to the principles or their
welfare, nationally or locally, a dozen or
two OF them stand unequalled in their

A MONKEY MENAGERIE.

The particular anxiety of the Demo

universal desire that the great Union
Labor partyfshall not be misunderstood.
One would conclude from reading some

Union Labors aud Botkin are persecut-
ed saints. However, after all, its cheap
way of getting votes for the Democratic
local nominees. Brother Botkin makes
a monkey menagerie out of himself

people TO take in the Union Labor side

me that it was a rambling weak mass of

a WORDY WAR.

The Anthony and Harper newspaper
quarrel simply breaks us all up. The
racket has seemingly long since passed
the line of venom or Of even real earnest
indignation, and has spread out into the
most grotesque contest of words it has
ever been our fortune, good or bad, to
read. The patrons of the papers playing
the leading roles wouldn't go two blocks
TO hear the most famous circus jester
ever advertised on the side of barn. 1t
is simply awful-terrific beyond the COM
prehension of even experts in respectable
blackguardism, if there is any such
thing.

CLARK COUNTY POLITICS.

ASHLAND, Kan, Sept 10. 1888.
In your issue OF Sept. Il, under caption
of ''Clark County politics" the following
appears:
THE Democratic nominees for county
attorney and district clerk are particu-
Larry strong, with good chances for cleo
ton. With these two exceptions the
Republicans will carry the county"
Now the facts are the two most popu-
lar candidates in the field are the Repub-
lican candidates, S. A. Parshley for
county attorney, and J. B. Stockton for
district clerk, who are sure to lead the
coming canvass this fall and stand in no
way chance TO be defeated unless the
whole Republican county ticket is de-
feated. A REPUBLICAN.

A Missouri Democrat and political
hummer struck Wichita few weeks ago
as a Union Laborer. The night he
reached this city he was closeted with a
crowd of his ilk. The EAGLE stated who
he was and his mission to Kansas. The
Democratic papers Indignantly denied
that any Missourian could come up here
and successfully fuse Kansas Democrats
and Greenbackers. He not only did it In
Sedgwick county but in Kingman and
he is now al work in Cowley.
