A VALUABLE WORK.

We are in receipt Of a neatly bound
book Of two hundred and fifty pages en-
titled the addresses" The book is
only for private circulation, but as a
mirror of what Kansas is today, or as
book telling all about the leading senti-
ments and principal material interests of
the great Sun Flower state it would be
hard to excel. 1t in short contains all of
the public addresses delivered by Hon.
John A. Martin since he has been the
governor of the state. Nearly fifty
speeches and addresses, in full or in
careful synopsis are contained in the
volume which in turn embody statisti-
cal, historical and numerous other kinds
of facts which would be difficult to OBJ
tain. Governor Martin will please &C
cept our thanks for an autograph copy
of his valuable work.

WICHITA. Kan, Sept. 8, 1888.

WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 3, 1888.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
We, that is, myself and another party,
would like your decision concerning a
little matter Oft may be importance,
viz: "A' left Indiana on the Sth of May
last, arrived in Wichita May 10; has re-
sided in Wichita ever since. The num-
Der of days that he has resided in Wich-
ita is $50. Our statutes require man to
be a resident of the state six months be-
fore he can become legal voter. The
question is, should "A'' be required to
be here from the 9th of May to the 9Th
of November, OF 1S0 days to entitle him
to a vote; or, in other words, does 30 days
constitute a month in acquiring the
rights Of suffrage as in other points in
law? Respectfully, R. D. SEAMAN.
1t is the judgment of the editor Of
the EAGLE that "A' will have to show
that he has been in the state six calendar
months, which in his case would be the
10th of November.-E EAGLE.

ALL ALIKE.

The editor Of the Newton Republican
objects to, or at4east critics. both the
judgment and taste of the EAGLE for
designating as a yawpin g negro the
colored man who, on the floor of the
State Union Labor convention, de-
clared:
1--WE are freed, but our condition is
worse than it was before the war. The
Repu blicans claim that they fought for
us. That is not true. They fought for
the salary, for the money which the
government paid Them
The criticism of the Republican neither
disturbs or convinces us. The fact that
Voorhees, called the union soldiers
miserable hirelings'" does not excuse
beneficiary, nor ex-soldiers in applaud
ing such sentiment. If white man
had been guilty of the like utterance the
EAGLE couldn't have called him a
''yawipng Niger" but it would have
branded him as a yawping yahoo, or a
fool, or knave, or all. The truth is, or at
least we believe it to be true, it
wouldn't be safe for white man to
get up in a company of ex-Union Re-
publican soldiers with the declaration
that they fought only for money. We
don't believe that one soldier in ten,
north or south, gave moments consid-
Grafton to the pay they were promised.
All that they desired was the assurance
that in going out to battle for the right
they would be fed and clothed while in
health and cared for when wounded or
in sickness. If the negro was right, and
the cranks who applauded him were
right, then all political rewards to the
soldier are wrong and pensions crime,
in that you take forcibly the peoples
to pay those who acknowledge
that in the monthly stipend they were
paid was all that they expected desired
or were entitled to.
As for the outfit alluded, or as to any
other the EAGLE draws no distinctions
as between black and white, politically
speaking.

Anarchists will probably learn after
awhile that this country is no place for

have no more sympathy or regard for
their infamous doctrines than have those
who represent the class of capital. The

means. of the anarchistic demonstration
during the labor parade at Cleveland

strued the display as an insult to them.

was in permitting any of the miserable

an extreme case wherein we can Justify

THE EAGLES PROTECTIVE IDEAS.

Some of our so-called tariff reform
friends are greatly shocked by the radi-
cal ideas of the EAGLE touching the
doctrine of protection as provided by
the tariff laws of the country. We are
for protection of every species-nation-
ally, local and personal. We have never
been convinced vet that protective
policy so strong and far-reaching as to
be prohibitive would not be a sound
policy for a growing and undeveloped
nation. If by raising a protective wall
so high that the traffic of the entire
world was shut out and the American
people thereby became richer, stronger
and happier, so long as we robbed no
other peoples, why not? America is
under no obligations to gather all
the world TO her arms. nor to
foster the industries of any other
nation, simply because such nation has
matured beyond chance TO reach the
possible development of this. America
has hardly begun todevelope, and if, with
her unequaled energies aud resources,

Evidence Of Wonderful Growth.

Kansas City Star.
According to the official estimate of
the bureau of statistics the amount of
coal displaced last year in the United
States by the use of natural gas was
100000 tons. But notwithstanding
this reduction the consumption of coal
in 1897 exceeded that OF 1886 by 17,172,-
154 tons. These figures furnish strik-
ing evidence of the wonderful growth of
the United States in population and of
the rapid and extensive multiplication
of the industries of the country. There
were 130, 900, 900 tons of coal consumed
in the United States last year, and this
tells a marvellous story of toll and
achievement,

at which that great state is placed in
the matter of advancement in everything
that affects the interests of its people.
The Herald says:
1t would be blessing to Texas if her
Democratic majority was reduced. There
is nothing more essential TO good govern

date, but the party took him up and
made him its nominee without consult
ing him, and having declared in favor
of the one-term idea in his letter of &C
ceptance four years ago, ne cannot
afford to compromise himself by accept
ing the nomination, though he can
accept the office if elected to it. There
is little point in that proposition that
he overlooked when he indicated to the
