The Nanticoke was on her way up
the river to that city when the
body was discovered. The pilot saw a

SENTIMENTAL POLITICS.

Mrs. Thurman, the wife of the Demo
cratic candidate for vice-president, has
been as popular in the south since the
war as has Mrs. Cleveland in the coun-
try generally the past three years. The
cause of Mrs. Humans popularity was
her interest in the welfare of southern
soldiers who were prisoners of war, ma
nv of whom while held as prisoners in
Ohio she ministered to out OF her own
private purse and with her own hand,
charitable acts that no Union soldier,
certainly none who felt the rigors of
prison life in the sonth during the same
period, will criticise, though no such
kindly charity was manifested in their
behalf. There is no question but that
much stress has been laid upon the pop
ularity of these two ladies, the wives of
the Democratic ticket, to help it along,
despite the irreconcilable opposition of
that party to anything like a recogni-
ton of women in political connection;
but the force of such influence was
greatly modified if not wholly destroyed,
as far as Mrs. Thurman in the south is
concerned, by the outspoken opinion of
the old Roman of ex-MinisteL Jackson
Of Georgia, whom he characterized as a
I'D fool rebel" provoked by certain
disloyal expressions uttered by jackson
on the occasion of JEFF. Davis visit to
Macon last year. Whatever of respect
and admiration the Confederate contin-
gent may still entertain for Mrs Thur
man, the nomination of her husband
has unquestionably produced chilly
sensation throughout the south, and this
accounts in pant for the lack of enthu-
siasm in the south following the an
nouncement of the nominations at ST.
Louis. Sentimental people are invaria-
bly, impulsive and are most frequently
prompted in their actions by prejudice.
The South goes largely to sentiment.

A COMMON ERROR.

A correspondent of the Harper Senti-
of that paper upon the general subject
of Dangerous Trusts" and starts out
by stating that ''the first telegraph line
built in the United States was largely
built at the expense Of the federal gov
eminent" and asks; Suppose the gov
eminent had bought out Mr.. Morse and
extended the system gradually over the
country, would the men managing it
have exercised any more political influ
ence than has at times been exercised
by Jay Gould and his partners in the
present management of the Geographic
system of this country The querist
seems to be laboring under the misap-
prehension that actuates q large ma
iority of those who advocate govern
ment control of the telegraph service Of
the country, that is, that the telegraph
company gathers the news that is sent
over the wires and in this way control it
and manipulate its political features for
personal or partisan effect and benefit.
Nothing could be farther from the facts
of the case. The telegraph company
has no more to do with collecting the
news than the railroad companies
have with collecting and preparing the
freight or express matter they transport
! over their lines. The news that is trans
mitted over the wires for the public ben
eft, as it appears in the daily papers, is
collected by associations or companies
through their hired agents and is re-
ceived from them and forwarded by the
| telegraph company just as private mes
sages are, and with just as much secrecy.
as for that. The telegraph company re-
ceives matter for transmission under
contract just as an express company re-
| ceives packages, or q railroad company
articles Of merchandise, and has no more
TO do with the subject-matter beyond de-
livering it TO the party to whom adj
dressed than either of the others. Dir.
Gould, DR.. Green, nor any other member
of the Western Union Co., has any mora
TO do with the news. public or private,
that is sent over the Western Union
wires than the officers and directors of
| any other association of common car
riers. This much for the purpose of dis
polling a common error, as far as may
be done.

woRK1NGMEN FOR PROTECTION.

REPORTS from all parts of the country
show that the workingmen are making
up the issue between the parties Tor
themselves and deciding that a vote for
the Democratic party is vote for free
trade. They have intelligent con-
victions on this subject that cannot be
orerthrown by juggling words and plat
form expressions intended to deceive.
The significant facts to them are, that
Mr.. Cleveland wrote message attacking
the whole system Of protection, and the
Democratic party at st. Louis approved
it. Those facts carry their own COM
ment, and show the workingmen
of this country that they can expect
no mercy or help from the Democratic
party. The Brooklyn Standardization
contains an interview with Master Work
man James H. Magee of tie Umpire Pro-
tective Association, in which he gives the
results of his observations after an extern
sive tour through New York State. lie
said: Il think that the outlook for the
Republican party is most encouraging.
Although myself a Democrat it is my
candid opinion that seven-tenths OF the
labor vote will go to the nominee OF the
Republican party for protection. You
cannot now make laboring men in this
country free traders They know too
much. and they are convinced that free
trade means low wages for them.

NOT REPUBLICANISM.

To the Editor OF the EAGLE.
I have been informed that the Repub-
lican central committee met last Satur-
day and made call for q county con-
vention to nominate county officers. l
have also been informed that the basis
of representation will be one delegate
for each twenty-five Republican votes
cast at the last election for some candl-
date of the party, and one delegate at
large from each ward in the city OF
Wichita and one from each township IN
the county. Is that so? That is a thing
unheard of in Republican conventions.
Whoever heard of representation IN a
Republican convention without Repnb-
Gcan vote as its basis? What does the
one delegate from each township and
ward represent? Territory or something
else? 1t looks to me as if this was
scheme to disfranchise the Republican
voters of the city of Wichita. | suppose
Wichita would not kick about that, as
by her vote last fall she virtually en-
dorsed the metropolitan police system.
That is system that you have no say IN
who shall govern your city. In this con-
vention scheme you have something to
say. More than one-half the Republican
vote of this county last fall was in the
city of Wichita. This new system of
representation will give Wichita FIVE
extra delegates and the country outside
of Wichita eight extra delegates.
I do not think there is Republican in
Sedgwick county outside of Wichita
that would have the cheek to ask as I'M
fair thing as that. But to illustrate,
Judge Reeds vote INSIDE the city of
Wichita was 1920 and his vote in the
townships was 1892. This would give the
city 93 delegates counting one for each
% votes and the country rs delegates.
Now adding one delegate at large for
each township or ward would give the
city 9S delegates and the country 104. If
that is R epublicanism I fail to see it. 1t
can not be true that a central committee
composed Of reasonably Intelligent men
would do such thing as this. can not
believe it and for that reason write you
to know the truth about it. FARMER.

A VISTA TO WICHITA.
The Metropolis Of Kansas as Viewed by
the Old Man OF the Times.

1t was at ) o'clock p. M, and after a
Journey of twenty-one hours from st.
Louis, when the brakeman announced
that we had reached Wichita. When

quietly alighted on Kansas soil. had
often heard that in these western towns

anxious to give ''Sucker" a glorious
reception. My appearance probably in
dictated that | was not i'll search OF real

any of the above mentioned individuals.
| expected to see great town, but was
not prepared to see a city Of Wichita
size, beauty and business activity. 1t is
undoubtedly the Chicago of the west.
Only small, country town in 1875, 1t
has grown to be the largest city in Kan
sas. with an estimated population of
10000. The rapid growth of Wichita
has been due to the faith of the citizens
in their city. They have always worked
together for its advancement, and they
have the satisfaction of knowing that by
their efforts they have built up city
which is the wonder of the west.
People in the east have formed the
opinion that Wichita has been built on
booms, and that its growth is not sub
stantial. [ was of that opinion myself
until my visit there. Last year there was
great boom in the city and spec
ulation in town lots run wild, but the
boom has exploded and given place to a
steady increase in the valuation of real
estate which is keeping pace with the
natural growth and development of the
city.
Not far from the business center of the
city is situated the elegant hotel build
ING of John 3. Carey, erected in 1887 at
cost of $4,000. 1t is built of fine,
pressed brick, with stone front, and is
six stories high. Mr.. Carey, since his
removal from Maroa 10 Wichita, IN 1874,
has made fortune, and now enjoys the
distinction of being a millionaire. A
little over year ago he moved TO Cali
fornia. where he now resides. but as he
was back to Wichita on business visit,

ness houses and handsome dwellings are
being erected. There is nothing that
can retard the growth of Wich-
ita, except. perhaps, destructive
cyclone. 1t has wide territory for OPP
Grafton, is a great railroad center, and
has the capital to push through every
thing undertaken. Much more of inter
est might be said regarding Wichita, bat
space will not permit. That she is de-
stined to be one of the greatest cities OF
the west. there can be no doubt. But il
is foolish to suppose that all who 20
