Ex-senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania,
has again appeared in the political arena
of his party in that state, since Mr.. Ran
dali was accommodated by the party
in convention short time ago. Mr.. Wal
lace has not been before the public since
the st. Louis convention of 1876, and his
present appearance will probably be of
the meteOric sort.

We have special fondness for the
rhythmic, whether it be in nature, in
human action or in written verse. al
though we can hardly tell whether we
measure our appreciation of poetic effort
by the feet rule or by the standard OF
license. Perhaps this indecision accounts
for our failure to appreciate the effort OF

That was a very graceful thing, and
we think entirely fitting and opportune,
that the senate did Tuesday in reviving
the rank OF general in the army and pro-
noting Lieut.. General Sheridan thereto.
1t was but following the precedent set at
first in the case of General Washington
and followed for the benefit of Generals
Grant and Sherman While it is a mat
ter of some surprise that there should
have been any opposition to the measure,
1t Is compensated for by the fact that
there were only seven members of the
senate, and they on the Democratic side,
who had the hardihood to vote nav. In
this connection 1t is gratifying to note
the Improvement in General Sheridan's
condition. as reported in the dispatches,
and many devout heart wishes are felt if
not uttered for his speedy recovery.

Sir Garnet Wolseley commander of the
English army, took occasion to say, in a
speech some time ago, that one hundred
thousand men could successfully invade
England with her present inefficient
preparations for defense. The Britton

his suggestion, but it is worthy of note
that since then parliament has voted

frequently made conspicuous by its alb

this is the only means he hes of remind

The depths of commiseration of the
far away Philadelphia Dispatch were
stirred when it heard that the pumping
system of sewerage was being talked of
in this city and it was constrained to
make this observation:
A maintenance of receptacles to receive
human eXcreta, in the shape of mere holes
in the ground, in large city like Wichita,
with its increasing population, is dis
grace to civilization and will result in an
ending that means ruin to booms and bus
mess and death to life.
The solicitude of our very clever friend
is fully appreciated, but the EAGLE begs
to assure it that Wichita'S citizens are
little too 'peart' to be sucked into such
receptacles as it refers. No 'bhge, blesse.

would talk on reform by the hour, but
no extended discussion could be got out
of him on the dangerous subject of high
or low tariff" The Times ''if' comes
too late: the tariff questson is already
the vital one, and will be only incident
ally considered by the st. Louis conven-
ton. That body and the party it will
represent would gladly ignore it, but it
can't; the dose has been prescribed and

Proctor Knots famous and witty
speech of twenty years ago about Duluth,
1.-The zenith city of the unsalted seas, y
made him famous. The imaginary
metropolis which then had no place on
the map now has in store one-third of
the visible wheat supply of the country.
Mr.. Knott's high-fown satire now reads
like solid fact. We mention this incl
dentally as but another illustration of
the fact that persecution, whether in the
guise of humor, as in the case of Duluth
above mentioned, or in the shape of de-
iberate, premedia ted prose of misrepre-
sentation and SANDER, as in the case of
Wichita, invariably has the contrary eff
feet of that intended. The outrageous,
unreasonable lies perpetrated at the ex-
pense OF this city have served as so many
valuable advertisements.

According to the expose Of the fish
cries treaty made by Mr.. Frye, Tuesday,
that instrument being under consider
alton in the senate, instead of being a
wonderful achievement for this govern
ment, in containing valuable concessions
to us, as claimed by Mr.. Cleveland and
Secretary Bayard, appears most COM
promising, not to say humiliating affair.
Now that the senate has begun its con-
sideration in open session, the discussion
of the proposed treaty will give the read
ing public better idea of its terms and
benefits or disadvantages than could be
given in a newspaper criticism. The
most notable incident connected with its
consideration is the reversal OF positions
of the two parties on the question of con-
sldering it in open session, at first the
Democrats favoring and the Republicans
opposing, but later the parties changing
places in that respect, though there are
few Individual exceptions.
