A FORCEFUL WARNING,

Peter Cooper was a successful man
He saw nearly a hundred years of active
life, and ought to have known something
about economical subjects, since he was
one of the greatest of American iron
manufacturers. In speech in Cooper
Union, when he was within few weeks
of his ninety-second birthday, Mr.
Cooper, Mayor Hewitt's father in-law
by the way, said:
If we desire to bring upon our whole
nation fate similar TO that which has
fallen to the lot of Ireland. Turkey,
Mexico and Hindostan, it is only neces-
sary TO arrange our tariff in way that
will induce the people TO have all their
manufacturing done in foreign countries
and pay for it in raw material
of our own. Such policy
will, if am not mistaken,
secure for our United States az rapid a
decline and fall as that which fell to the
lot of Spain when the Moors, her princi-
pal manufacturers, We're driven out of
the country. Such policy might graf
ify our thirst for all the dearly bought
follies and fashions of European life, but
it would bring ruin and wretchedness
upon hundreds of thousands of mechan-
les of our country who have nothing TO
sell but their labor. To break up this
diversified employment Of so vast a
number by change of tariff and then
expect them 10 find other means of liv-
ing Is about as reasonable as it was for
Pharaoh to expect the Iraelites to make
bricks without straw"

THE MENACE OF a SURPLUS.

You know what surplus, an immense
surplus in the federal treasury means. II
means an opportunity for jobs of every
character. 1t means useless and unneces-
sary expenditures of public moneys. And
it is best for our country that there should
not be an overfiowing treasury,-Governor
Hill's speech.
If Democracy is to remain in power in
the house no one will question the cor
rectness of Governor Hills views. 1t
has been too forcibly demonstrated dur
ing recent sessions of congress that sur
plus means waste. :. Not only have the
Democrats in three years increased the
expenditures of the government So, 000,-
900. but the appropriations of the present
session have been SO extrayagant that no
reduction In the revenues can be made
for the coming year without causing a
deficit. The way to prevent waste is to
put the Democrats out of power.

WHAT GOOD HAS THE THIRD PARTY
DONE.

| To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle.
The third party, with apparent SINGER
| ity and great boast of necessity, say
they had to leave the old party because
they would do nothing for the temper
ance cause. Rev. Botkin, under an i'm
perative sense of duty, was compelled to
| give up, in great measure, the import
ant and responsible duties of his district
as presiding elder, impair his usefulness
in the church and soil his clerical robes
to save the state and nation from the
great curse of intemperance.
Now, let me enquire what good has
this party accomplished by their
efforts for the last twenty years? All
the laws and regulations against the
liquor traffic, and all the advances in the
interests of temperance have been made
through the Republican party. Even in
the Democratic states of the south. local
option and all advances in this cause
were instigated by Republicans and Sc
cured by the cooperation OF temperance
Democrats.
In Kansas we have all the laws, and as
good laws as we need, and third party to
the Temperate cause is Of less use and
more of detriment than a fifth wheel
to a wagon. Why do not these sensi-
tive, tender-conscienced third party ad-
vocates, whose Utmost souls are so hor-
rifed at the neglect of the officers
in ferreting out and prosecuting
violators OF our present laws, turn IN anu
help 10 bring these offenders to justice
e IF a
calling for more laws. If you had son
that had served you faithfully in many
things; yea, that had saved your valua-
bic property when 1t was about to be
destroyed by an enemy, but who failed
to come up 10 your standard III some
things, would you kill him and make
your enemy your heir. rather than try
to reform him: All efforts at reform
should begin at the right place. Our
laws In Kansas on prohibition are all
right. What we want is TO elect proper
officers TO carry them out and 10 educate
the people up TO the high plane OF tenn
perance.
This is great work and all who are in
favor should unite and use ALL mot one)
means IN securing the invaluable end.
Ii the third party viii LABOR half as hard
to accomplish this as they do to cripple
and destroy the Republican party, that
is our only savior now, they win do
much more good than they are now
doing. Joel Austin. a Prohibition leader
in Indiana, with others has discovered
their error in throwing votes 10 the
liquor loving Democrats, and are now
stumping it for Harrison and temper
ance.
a third party advocate, brim full OF
self confidence and that his was the only
just party, approached one OF the Dish
ops Of the N. E, church who resides IN

perfcial. Inconsistent Republican views

SELLING PRINCIPLES FOR DOLLARS.

It's coming home to them, and John
Fisher is out in card of explanation
telling what he will do when he becomes
the board of county commissioners. The
EAGLE has not, and will not make any
personal fight upon the Democratic
nominees. 1t has not so much as men
toned any of their names in an obnoxl-
GUS manner; but, SO far as the commits
sioner business is concerned, the most
important Office in the present juncture
to the Republican party of Sedgwick
county, and SO far as the fight being
made upon Van Ness and the men who
are making it are concerned, all neces-
sary facts and information are being
rounded up into good sized bomb, the
effect of whose explosion will at least
live for two or three campaigns in the
future. Duty cannot always be
agreeable, besides self preservation
is the first law of life, and there can be
no life to Republican organization in
this county if traitors are to be sup
ported and encouraged. No explana-
lions Of how Mr.. Fisher was nominated
are wanted, but the methods of some of
his supporters are simply damnable. If
such combination as is seeking to elect
Fisher over Van Ness is right, then party
loyalty, party reward and party honor
are simply shams, and to be the tool of
and to be demagogue
alone, is worthy all praise and all sue
cess.
There is more in party than paltry dol
lars; there is principle, honor and good
faith, and there is such thing as the re-
of a grievous wrong as some
politicians in this county have already
found out, and as number more will.

realize the responsibility which attaches
to their action, and many of them in ali

Atchison Champi
A writer in the North American Re.
view for October says that all our presi-
dents before Cleveland have been singu-
larly modest in referring to themselves
as individuals in their public utterances.
But Cleveland, the dullest and least con-
spicuous of them all, revels in personal
pronouns. He gives, as an instance, his
acceptance speech, which occupies only
fifty-four lines in the Review, but in
which the personal pronoun ~ is used
twenty eight time, ''me" ten times, "my"
six times, and myself twice-making
forty-six personal references in fifty four
lines, or an average Of very nearly one
per line. The smallest and dullest of
presidents is the most unblushing and
offensive of cyclists.

Mistaken Identity.

Newton Republican.
An exchange says that John J. Cox of
Fredonia, who is credited with having

John t. Cox, an early settler of Kansas,
who laid out the town of Ottumwa, COT
fey county, in 1857, who served in the
First and Second Indian regiments and
for years was connected with the Indian
bureau and was an active figure in Kan
sas politics. We do not know on what
the claim that Dir. Cox reported our state
seal is based. He was not member or
officer of the legislature of 1861, which
adopted it. The motto. ''Ad Astra per

outrageous SANDER on twelve or fifteen

they were represented as playing con-
temptlble role with Senator Plumb

special car to Kingman. The EAGLE
promptly and emphatically made denial
of the pitiable SANDER as soon as it
reached our notice, and in words whose
impdft could by no possible means be
misunderstood or nlisconstrued, and sup
ported with a challenge for their refuta-
ton from any reliable source or person.
As the charge impugns the honor, ques-

only save itself by squarely crawfishing
in making public Acknowledgements that
