In answer to the EAGLES inquiry of a
few days ago as to what had become of
the government-Bell telephone case, it is
announced from Washington that the
case is the first one on the docket of the
supreme court, but that in consequence
of the illness of Justice Matthews the
court, on reSuming its labors on the 9th
of October, will pass the case and call it
up when the bench Is full. This arrange
ment will no doubt be gratifying to Can
didate Thurman, who is of counsel for
the government in the case. 1t is reason
ably certain that its hearing will bring
out some developments that can not fail
to compromise the administration of
which Mr.. Thurman is seeking to become
prominent member. After the Novem-
Der election and the counsellors ambi-
ton in the connection mentioned is end
ed, as it will be, the exposures will be less
poignant to him.

Kansas City, like an overgrown gawk
of school boy, has been strutting
around for some time with a chip on its
shoulder daring someone, anyone, to
knock it off. At last it stepped onto the
track of the Santa Fe railroad company
and undertook to dictate its train service
between that point and Chicago. The
young giant forgot all about it's chip as
it picked itself up out of the ditch after
the collision, with the fast train clear out
Of sight But the incident got its mad
up and with bold stride it steps back onto
the track and proclaims its right to direct
the coming and going of its carrying
traffic. No answer, either in word Or
act, has been made to this, but we pre-
dict that when it is given in full the
young giant will think good deal less
Of its prowess than it does just now, and
will have discovered that the world is
not bounded by the horizon, even as
viewed from its high hills.

Of all the decisions have ever known
the idea of political equality between the
white and black races seems to me the

with the white man in the business,

CONWAY SPRINGS SUGAR.

From the sugar works at Conway
Springs was received at this office yes
terday a sample box of the sorghum
sugar being manufactured there. The
sample resembles in appearance the or
binary white coffee sugar as received
from the south in barrels and hogsheads.
1t is Enthusiastically sweet. No itemized
report was received with the sample but
we learn that the works are a success
and that sugar as well as salt is to be one
of southwest Kansas staple commodl-
ties. Good for Conway Springs and her
sugar.

THE KANSAS suNFLowER LEGEND

Once in the olden time.
Fer the name Of Kansas was heard,
When gods and godesses walk on earth,
And their voices the mighty wind stirred.
Clytie. a beautiful water nymph.
Sobbed her life out in vain desire,
For love or Apollo, the sun god,
Who rides in his car of fire.
She daily watched him sailing
Along with majestic grace,
Till at last her body changed to stem.
And a sunfiowsr bloomed from her face.
Her golden face is uplrted
To the snn as he rises and sets,
Turning, and turning, to watch him.
With a love that never forgets.
Thou emblem Of constancy
With thy promise of good foreshown.
Deep thou art rooted in our soil,
And Kansas is thy home.
A prophecy fair for the future,
Holds ever for us it is said,
As long over prairies,
The sunhower mods her head; m. W. e.

privilege of returning the wrapping for
cotton bales, manufactured in this coun-
try duty free, on one hand, and the de-
termination of the cotton planters to not
use any more jute until that important
article is taken out of the grip of the
combine that aimed to pocket all the
profits they are naturally and legiti-
mately entitled to, on the other, the
trust is as good as done for. The people

it if the law shall be found inadequate to

The high moral and political status
claimed for and accorded Judge John
Martin, the Democratic nominee for
governor, would seem to be sufficient to
refute the accusation of demogogy if
alleged against him. And yet his own
declarations brand him as the most
arrant of demagogues. He is credited
with publicly declaring that man who
charges more than six per cent interest
ought to be sent to the penitentiary. The
Topeka correspondent of the Kansas
City Journal says that the mortgage
records of Shawnee county show that he
holds mortgages to the amount of S2.,-
600, drawing interest at Sper cent, and
number Of others recently satisfied
which drew 10 per cent. Perhaps the
distinguished gentleman will be able to
explain the discrepancy between his
declarations and the records, or deny one
or both. He has not done so, though he
needs 70, if he can.

portant line of action respecting prohibition
has been practically inaugurated with the
active support of the leaders of the movement
in all parts Of the country, the first step of
which, it is likely, will he taken in this city.
1t grows out Of the decision of the supreme
court of the United States in the Kansas case,
wherein it is asserted that the people can not
barter away the health Of the public, and
plainly says that the public traffic in intoxi-
cants is against the public life and health.
Correspondence has been had with all promi-
nent workers, and it has been agreed to try
and attack the consttutionality of all
license laws Preparations have been
completed in New York, New Jer-
sey and other states to bring the
matter Immediately to a test. In this county
the Prohibitionists expect mt an early day to
file with the county commissioners a protest
against the granting OF licenses to applicants
for saloon powers. In case the commissioners
decline to grant the petition, result that is
expected they will appeal and carry the mat
ter to the supreme court of the state. A
prominent lawyer says he has made careful
examination Of all the facts bearing on the
situation which it is proposed to bring about,
in the legality of the conclusions reached by
the Kansas court and affirmed 10y the United
States court.
Preparations are going forward on rather a
unique scale for the approaching Prohibition
national convention in this city. There will
be some unique features at the convention
Music, oratory, and women will be the inspir
alton of the occasion. a chorus of several
hundred voices has been provided for, and old
army tunes to new and old words will be sung
by the chorus, with an invitation to the en-
tire convention to join in. All the prominent

to Prohibition ideas will not be made a car
