UNWRUNG WITHERS.

The editorial in yesterdays EAGLE.
touching political complications in Sedg-
wick county and the rumors of repre-
hensible intrigue, was too serious mat
ter to be passed upon or used as joke.
yet we hear that some gentlemen, and
probably who are not entirely unknown
to party work. with serious face charg-
ed Judge Jewett and Captain Walter as
being Republicans which the article was
intended to criUicise. 1t is but fair to
these gentlemen to say that we never
heard it even limited that they were not
in full sympathy and accord with their
party or that they would fail to put forth
every honorable effort for the success Of
the ticket this fall, from Harrison down,
and the EAGLE has no other thought.
If all the talk alluded to should prove
to be but Democratic scheme to weaken
the lukewarm and to distract our own
central committee, the article can do,
then, no possible harm; but if, on the
contrary, prominent individuals IN the
party permit themselves to be used by or
influenced with mere personal cOnsldera-
tons the quicker the great mass Of honest
voters understand 1t, the better, to the
end that the roll may be called and true
men given a chance to exert their in
fiuence and power against that which
would inevitably, and in the shortest
possible time, lead the party first to de-
feat and then to ruin.
Wichita eagle., 1888-09-14
A MISLEADING APHORISM.

The Democrats accept as an epitome
of the tariff dicussion Mr. Cleveland 5
declaration in his letter OF acceptance
that unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation" The Republicans accept the
statement as true, but deny its applica-
bility to the principles of protection as
advocated and defended by the Repubi-
cans. The tariff tax is not an unneces-
sary tax, as the Democrats would make
everybody believe. On the contrary it
is essential, not only as a means Of
raising revenue for the support of the
government, but also to protect the in
terests of our laboring, producing popu-
latiOn in their wage earnings and in
elevating their moral and intellectual
condition. The fullest exercise of per
sonal liberty and the intelligence of its
citizens is the boast of the American re-
public and to maintain these standards
the citizen needs to be protected against
the unequal contest with the
lower standard Of foreign nations which
free trade would unavoidably introduce.
The only unnecessary taxation known
at present III our government is the intern
alrevenue, system that was inaugurated
when the government had no other
means of raising money that was ALSO
lutely essential to the life of the nation.
That tax is unjust in principle, the
money derived therefrom is not needed
by the government and has not been for
a number of years, but has been retained
by the Democratic majority in congress
where all legislation affecting the rev.
enues of the government must originate.
That the system has been continued by
that party for the purpose of producing
the condition that confronts u.s." i. e.
a large surplus III the treasury so labor
iously dwelt upon by Mr.. Cleveland in
his message and letter of acceptance:
we say that this has been done for the
deliberate purpose of partisan benefit.
there can be no doubt. The inequalities
of the tariff the Republican party is
pledged TO remedy and it viii do it IS
soon as it is placed in position to &C
ii, but it will be done with a
just regard for the interest of our own
people, not foreigners and aliens.
Wichita eagle., 1888-09-14

| another. Again, what would be only
the bare comforts of life to one elias:
| might be luxuries to another.
The term raw materials is not quite
so indefinite as the terms ''necessaries Of
life" or comforts of life." The Dem.
ocrats demand free raw materials. >
This is the burden Of their song. This
is the subject on which Mr.. Cleveland
lays the greatest stress in his last annual
message, and in his letter of acceptance.
Strictly speaking, there is no duty on
raw materials. The stone in the quarry
the timber in the growing tree. the coal
and ore in the mines, and like things
upon which no labor has been expended,
are all raw materials.
There is no duty on any of these, and
these are not meant by the president
when he pleads for free ''raw materials; ;
what he means by free .'raw materials
is the stone in rough, after it is taken
from the quarry; the ore and coal when
first taken from the mine; the wool
when clipped, and the tree, when cut
into logs ready for the saw.
The production of these articles re-
quires only unskilled labor, or, at most
labor requiring little skill and receiving
the lowest rate of wages.
In short these things are prepared for
the mill, the furnace, the forge and the
loom by what is termed common labor.
The vast majority of working men are
common laborers. IL the tariff can be
made to protect any class Of men, as
many Democratic speakers in the east
are now contending it can, then why
should not the common laborer have the
benefit of its protecting power as well
as the mechanic, the merchant and the
Democrats have been insisting that
the tariff has favored the manufacturer,
and yet, with singular inconsistency,
they would take away from millions of
common laborers the protection it now
affords to their unskilied labor by re-
moving the duty from all the articles
produced by the hands.
Still the Democratic party claims to be
The friend of labor.
Wichita eagle., 1888-09-14
SOL n SAYINGS.

DR.. Rafter is the Democratic nominee
for representative in Ellis County. A
good name to put mansard roof on.
After all Peter P. Elder has a just right
to call himself labor candidate. He is
a pIasterer-plasters farms with mort
cages.
The Democrats have nominated dis
iunctive conjunction for congress in this
district. His name Is j. W. Orr. and he
is the son-in-law of G. W. Click.
1t is probably false report that the
people of Lawrence intend to ask the
next legislature to change the name of
their town to Kansas City, Douglas
county, Kansas.
Those Republicans who left the party
early in the campaign, thinking the
Democrats had the country by the tail.
must now feel like boy who has eaten
too many green apples, and has to go to
bed TO have his clothes washed, while
the elephant and the band wagon are
passing along the next street.

The unknown quantity this year is the
farmer vote. If the farmers vote indie
pendently, and without regard TO previous
affiliations no man can guess how Kansas
will count out.-Abilene Gazette.
The farmers of Kansas as a class are
sufficiently intelligent to vote indepen-
dent of blind partisan subserviency. and
they are likewise sufficietly intelligent
10 understand where their interest lies
and courageous enough not to be bluiTed
or frightened from the support of the
party that gives them assurance of hon
sstly and faithfully conserving their in
terests in common with all others en-
gagged IN industrial pursuits. For these
reasons and on these accounts the farm
ers Of Kansas have by large majority
supported the Republican party, and
will not abandon it now when there is
stronger incentives than ever for them
to give it their hearty cooperation and
entbnsiastjc snnnnrt
Wichita eagle., 1888-09-14
RAW MATERIALS.

The professions of the Democratic
party that it is the special friend of the
laboring man is inconsistent with its
position in favor of removing the duty
from raw materials" The truth is that
few persons know ana a less number
care just what is meant by raw mate
rails. The term raw materials" is a
somewhat indefinite one. In the same
way reference is made 10 the removal of
tariff duties from the '.necessaries of
HE, without defining what is meant by
neceSsaries,
The prohibitionists. in their platform,
have gone much further than either
Democrats or Republicans by demanding
that not only the necesSaries but also the
comforts OF life be placed on the free
list. The term Comforts of life. is GER
tainly very broad and indefinite one: as

PAUPER LABOR AND DEMOCRATIC
WHISKY.

The surplus in the u. S. treasury is
what is wearing out the Democratic
party. Thurman, considering his age
and general decrepitude, sets up quite a
vigorous howl over it. The Democratic
party sees but one way to rid the treas
ury Of the surplus and that the free
trade" and ''pauper labor schemes. The
Republicans, on the other hand, say we
Will protect laber and the results of labor
and cut off the internal or home reve-
nues until the surplus disappears. The
Democrats, in response, howl that that
means free whisky" As the Republic
can party as rule are not whisky
drinkers the howl affects them
one way nor the other. With
free whisky there would be
a great many more Democrats with
money in their pockets, with probably
not more than the minimum of drunken
ness, for the price of whisky affects but
in a very imperceptible degree the appe-
tite and consumption of liquor by the
Democratic party. Therefore, let Cieve-
land go on with his ''cheap labor" and
''free trade" scheme, and Thurman with
his whine about surplus, the presence
in the treasury of which this administra-
ton is entirely responsible for. With the
Republican party in power every laborer
and every productive interest will be put
upon a protected footing and the two
hundred millions of money in the treas
ury will be sent back into the hands of
of the people and no other collections of
home-paying revenue laid or made until
that surplus has disappeared for good.

Some Peculfarities of Indians.

If an Indian is killed in quarrel his
relatives are usually appeased by pay
ment. | remember once Gn overbearing
young Assinaboine buck came into the
Milk River agency and bent his bow and
arrow on the agents pet dog. The agent
warned him If he shot the dog he would
kill the Indian. The young buck shot his
arrow; the agent killed him. We e,-
pected to have some trouble, but the grief
stricken father came forward on behalf
OF the relatives. and claimed that, in con-
sideration that the young man, being
such a good buffalo runner, the agent
must pay for the loss OF such person q
red blanket, piece Of calico and four
pounds of sugar. He complied with their
demands, but the vengeful relatives
thereafter adopted him as their banker.
The mother and other relatives of thu
slain young man scarcely ever met the
agent without embracing him and with
endearing epithets begging for something
more IN remembrance Of the good buffalo
runner.
No gifted funeral orator can equal or
convey the impression Of the nournful
tenderness, the exulting pride or the
gloomy despair expressed by the untaugnt
savage In this mere oct Of formality. An
Indian, man or woman, will be laughing
and dancing; IL moment the merry
circle viii be left, and the mex: moment
the same person will lift up his voice In
heart breaking accents, tho plaintive
notes viii weep tears Of mournful tender
ness, again startling defiance and war
viii breathe with fierce energy the deeds
of the silent dead; then as The sorrowful
recollections, inspired by the fate Of the
fallen relative. the high pean sinks TO
such duplicating despai, a. suggests 9
lost spirit lanenting its diend fate. And
all this Is mare formally. for the next
