The Topeka Capital nails to its mast
head the name of James G. Blaine, of
Maine, for president, and Walter O..
Gresham, of Indiana, for vice-president.
In announcing such determination the
Capital says: 1T will be conceded that
for the past eight years a very large ma
jority of the Republican party of Kan
as has been for Mr. Blaine for president
The same sentiment prevails throughout
Our state today, and the recent letter of
Mr.. Blaine only places the responsibility
of his nomination upon the party while
it does not necessarily mean that he will
refuse to serve if nominated The
statement as to Mr. Blaine being the
choice of the party in Kansas is in ac-
cord with the views express by the
EAGLE when his letter of declination was
first published. The choice of Mr.. Blaine
is not confined to this state. Expressions
that come from all parts of the country
indicate that he has strong hold upon
the affections and confidence of Repub-
icans everywhere. The EAGLE could
support Blaine and Gresham with salts
faction; nevertheless, its choice is the
choice of the national convention.

Let Wichita and Winfield work to-
gether in politics and both pull hard to
get the next Democratic state conven-
ton to be held in Southern Kansas. We
will make our sister this proposition: We
will help you get the convention at Wichi-
ia if you will help us get our man nomi-
mated for the head of the ticket How does
it suit you? In other words, Wichita for
the convention, John A. Eaton for the
nominee.-Winfield Telegram.
The proposition suits the EAGLE for a
number of reasons, chief among them
being purely business one:-such a
large number of visitors to our city
could not fail to leave considerable
money here, but above that, it would
serve to advertise Wichita and place her
importance as a manufacturing and
trade center before considerable num-
Der of citizens in all parts OF the state
who could not be reached with such in
formation in any other way. AS for
your candidate, we know of no Demo
crat whom we would prefer seeing hon.
ored with the nomination by that party
than our neighbor, nor one we would
rather see governor if the good Lord
should have such an infection in store
for the state. Bring the convention to
Wichita if you can and we will promise
to entertain it as no other city in the
state can, and the EAGLE will lend its
potent influence with the representatives
of that party to secure the nomination of
Judge Eaton.

Senator Blair has introduced bill to
punish any person convicted of the ruin
of any female under the age of Is years
by Imprisonment for from five to ten
years. and for the second offense for his
natural life. A punishment of from ten
to thirty years is provided for persons
forceably ravishing any female and for
the period of his natural life for any per-
son who carries out his ends by means
of potions or drugs. The provision Of
the bill are made applicable to all places
within the jurisdiction of the United
States. The measure is a most praise
worthy one, only it should be maize re-
ciprocal in its operations and afford equal
protection to boys of like age. 1t is a
fact that cannot be denied that many if
not all of those guilty of the otfenses
contemplated in the Blair bill We're
themselves first led astray by the be-
witching enticements of debased women.
Protect innocent girlhood by all means
and at any cost, but don't neglect the
boys; they need protection more than
girls if possible.

MR.. BLAINE'S LETTER.
What Mr.. Marley Says Concerning 1t

saw Mr.. J. H. Manley Tuesday night
and interviewed him concerning the
effect of Mr.. Blaines letter When
asked whether he knew if Mr.. Blaine
had in contemplation refusal to allow
the presentation of his name, Mr.. Man.

.'Yes l have known for long time his
reasons why he would withdraw Iris
name. They were certainly personal
and in no way included his health

Mr.. Blaine says he has been in perfect
health ever since he left home. with the
exception of slight cold contracted in
crossing the Alps. All this talk about
Mr.. Blaines poor health is nonsense
Mr.. Blaine is in vigorous and perfec,
health. Few men possess his physical
vigor. .--...e-. .--.
How do you regard Mr.. Blaine's in.
tentions in writing the letter.
Il think he means just what it saws.
and he is sincere in every word. He
wanted the nominate IN 1876 and 1880.

1t is stated on good authority that there
is nc hope for the recovery of the crown
prince of Germany. Every eypedient
which science could suggest has been
tried without avail. He has submitted
to the most dangerous and hazardous
surgical operation, and it has failed to
give more than temporary relief. 1t is
sad news that this strong man, the pride
and the hope of the German nation.
should be cut down just as he is about to
enter upon the largest part of his career.
With the emperor so old and feeble that
ne must soon succumb to advanced age.
there was all the more need for a man
like the crown prince to take up the work
when his father should lay it down. The
country knew him and knew what to ex-
pect of his administration. 1t knows
comparatively nothing of the next in
line. Whatever he might do would be
an experiment for which the nation will
wait with solitude and anxiety. The
immediate future of the German govern
ment does not look as bright and hopeful
with the star of the crown prince slowly
sinking into the night. .

The Wichita Eagle.

IdlNWeiI News
We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement in this issue of the
Wichita EAGLE. The truly great and
enterprising Republican newspaper needs
no fiattering notice from our pen to COM
mend it to the favor and patronage of
our people. 1t is too well known for
ability, pluck and that marvellous. en-
terprise which has distinguished it since
it had beginning. We have been a
careful reader of its editorial and news
pages and admire the manliness of the
former and the general fitness of the lat
ter. Its editor, NJ. NJ. Murdoch, is one
of the best types of western man,
brainy, interchangeable and always push
ing ahead. It's this indomnitable spirit
which has made the EAGLE one of the
most prosperous, most noted journals in
the west. He is ably assisted by r. p.
Murdoch, who enjoys, the well merited
reputation of being one of the most sue
cessful business managers in the coun-
try. If you want grand, metropolitan,

tia EAGLE.

THE AMERICAN SABBATH.

1t is generally supposed that all the
Germans are opposed to our Sabbath
Observances, but this is found to be a
mistake. While no doubt the larger part
is, there are many notable exceptions.
Recently a mass-meeting was held in
Cooper Institute, New York, where
We're found over three thousand Ger
man-Americans who vigorously applaud
ed the arguments made in favor of a
rigorous enforcement of the Sunday
laws. The meeting was addressed by
clergymen of the various denominations
and was full of interest. The Rev. DIR.
Oerter, in referring to the Personal-Lib-
erty League, said: Personal liberty is
the divine right to act without interfer-
ence within the limits of the law"

From your ear-marks l take it that it is

Mr.. Prospector, we seldom notice an
nymous communication, much less pos

that as prospector you are a failure SO
far as discovering the cause of things.
Under an outrageous and un-American
law passed by the last legislature the

portant city in the state was taken out of
the hands of the officers elected by the
people and placed in the hands of com
mission who are answerable only
to the state officers at To-
peka. The mayor of Wichita is
utterly powerless. He has no authority
even over the city marshal, nor have the
council. "Prospector' has just as much
power to Gust disreputable fakir or to
order the arrest of an open violator Of
the law or to dry up game of chance as
has the mayor. And the people are just
as powerless as either. SO far as the
average policeman cares for the mayor
or city council, or for the wishes Of the
people. or so far as the revenues from
fines are concerned. Wichita would be
just at well off and her desires and inter
ests would be just as well. considered if
she were under the guard and police
regulations of some outside enemy OF

The stock in trade of Cleveland
ohaperons before his nomination for
president was his alleged sterling quail
ties and adherence to the principles OF
civil ser vice reform. and the vigor with
which he started on that line in the early
months of his administration gave them
great hopes and fortified them in their
admiration for the great reformer. But,
alas. as time wore away and the de-
mands of the hungry horde of his party
for place became more pressing, and the
time for choosing his successor drew
nearer, his grip relaxed until he has
finally let go and apparently dismissed
the matter from his mind. The result is
what was but reasonable to expect. i. e. j.,
not only an utter disregard for the spirit,
but open violation of the letter of the
law and the presidents asseverations as
to its enforcement. If Mr.. Cleveland had
one-half the virtue which he assumed
when he pounced upon that iuckless dis
trict attorney in Missouri and suspended
him for making a political speech. he
would have promptly removed from of.
flee every appointive official on the DEM
ocratic national committee. Every hour
that he permits them TO remain engaged
in political work while drawing a salary
from the government that should have
their time. he stultities his own record
and compromises his administration. II
we are to have civil service reform let us
have it. instead of the miserable farce
which this administration is giving.

Our free trade treaty with the Sand
witch Islands has proven to have been a
very foolish thing. In the ten years
from 1877 to 1886 we imported under the
treaty $61, 100.471 of merchandise duty
free and the duties RENTED on these i'm
ports, nearly all sugar, amounted to
$26, OF 1884. Our exports of domestic
merchandise to the islands in the same
period were $25, ,270. If the sugar
and rice brought from the islands had
paid duty, the United States could have
given its inhabitants our entire exports
and still have been $SO,414 in pocket.
