OUTRAGEOUS MAIL SERVICE.

When Senator Plumb arose in his
place in the United States senate the
other day to enter his protest against the
outrageous mail service given the west
by the present administration, substanti-
ating his declarations by letters and
newspaper articles in great numbers,
Democratic senators scoffed the idea, de-
claring that not only Plumb's effort but
the array of proof offered were but eff
forts to disparage and honorable and
faithful service for political effect. Of
course, under the circumstances, nothing
can be done, but the EAGLE. for one
paper at least, has been damaged thous-
ands of dollars through inefficient mail
service. We give below specimen of
many letters received upon the subject.

RAILROAD NEWS.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
company is credited by its representative
at San Francisco, according to dis
patch. with the intention of extending
its line to California. 1t is asserted that
the route will be surveyed from Kansas
City through southern Kansas, Colorado.
New Mexico, Arizona and up the San
Joaquin valley, and that work will prob
ably begin from the Pacific coast end of
the line. The report, however, needs
further confirmation.
The Santa Fe is ROW operating its new
Denver line to the west line of Wichita
county, only twenty-four miles from the
west lire of the state. AS soon as the
weather permits the line will be pushed
on to Denver, with branch to Colorado
Springs. 1t may not be generally known,
but this Colorado Springs branch will
pass directly through the center of the
heaviest soft coal bed in Colorado, which
$4,000 miners could not exhaust in 1000
years. So the Santa Fe is not after the
mountain summer travel alone.

The Globe-Democrat thinks that ''there
is something homogeneous in the thought
of Claus Spreckels, the California sugar
King, figuring in the role of an anti
monopolist. And yet, it is probable that
he is at the head of the California syndi-
cate which the telegraph tells us has
organized to fight the eastern sugar trust.
Spreckels has abundant capital and re-
sources, and his experience in the art of
deception and extortion would make him
a formidable antagonist for the conspira-
tors which levy tribute on the $4,000, 600
inhabitants of the United States residing
east of the Rocky mountains. In the big
contest which is promised the country is
on the side of Spreckels." AS long as
Spreckels can keep the price of sugar
down to one and a-haf cents pound
the current price in San Francisco-the
people on both sides of the Rockies will
stand by HIM. Of course the people on
the Pacific coast will be the immediate,
and greatest beneficiaries of the contest,
but the price at which the great staple
article is held there can not fail to effect
it all over the country if it can be main
tanned long enough.

How:To CURR COLOR BLINDNESS.
From Science.

From Science.
That the origin of color blindness lies
in the brain and not in the eyes has been
suggested by Prof. Ramsay. While en-
gagged in teaching in Brooklyn some
years ago the principal of a school in
sisted on treating every case of the sort
as dependent on the will of the pupil
His remedy was the rod. This certainly
seemed tryannical and unwarranted
treatment, but the result was favorable
to his theory. 1t is impossible that a
thorough examination will ultimately
demonstrate that the fault lies very
largely in the shlftless methods of OBJ
servation which has grown up under the
old classical methods of education, and
which have to large extent
become hereditary. Prof. Ram
says suggestion and his argu-
ment deserve careful attention, and,
if found correct, we have anther and
overwhelming reason for the new educa-
ton. At first sight it is not perfectly
clear, on the above theory, why it is
that color blindness should be more
common among men than among
women; yet it is possible that this will
be found to bear out the suggestion
made above, for, with the discontinue
ance of wearing Of colors by the men,
their interest i'll colors to large extent
must have ceased: and if our old
methods of education were to be con-
tinued much longer it may be that, with
the less use of color by women in their
dresses, an increase color blindness may
result among them as well. 1t is dou bted.
however, whether the introduction of
the rod as a quick corrective will find
many advocates

Tardy Justice.

Manhattan Industrialist
A joint resolution has been introduced
in congress by Hon. John A. Anderson
for restoring to the State Agricultural
College the seven thousand, six hundred
and eighty-two acres of land withheld
from the selections made twenty years
ago because of supposed railroad limits.
Since the decision Of the secretary of the
interior, the supreme court has pro-
nounced the apparent location of the
railroad nullity, and the lands were re-
opened for purchase at minimum price.
Congress has reason for such an act of
tardy and imperfect Justice 10 a state
which has made best use of the gift so
far as it has been received. At best this
can give but moiety of what the orig
inal selections would have been worth.
for the -ands now eligible for selection
are far less desirable than the fertile
lands of Riley and Clay counties eligible
in 1856.

The bill passed by the senate providing
for the compulsory education of Indian
children is well enough in principle,
but to enforce it if it becomes law will
be one of the most difficult undertakings
the government has ever assumed in
connection with Indian management
To carry cut the provisions of such a
law will necessitate an entire change of
the governments Indian policy. As our
correspondent in the territory stated in
yesterdays EAGLE in speaking on the
subject of educating the Indian children.
the Indian parents are naturally skepti-
cal Of any interference by the govern
ment or by individual whites in their
family or tribal relations. even when
made for their private benefit: the con-
sequence is. and will continue TO be I'M
til their prejudices are overcome. that
In order TO educate the Indian children
the government will have to proceed
somewhat after the methods suggested
by Bill Nye for SHINING rabbits, i. e.
FIRST catch the rabbit.

CHINA wEDu1Na AT Mt. HOPE.

At about 10 o clock last Monday morn
ing the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Baird be-
gan to gather at their residence, and they
continued to come until they filled the
house to overlooking, and the kitchen
tables were laden with the good things
to eat. Now when fine china dinner
and tea set consisting of 102 pieces this
fine present had been made by the old
settlers and many of their young friends,
water pitcher by DIR. j. T. Potter, and
fruit dish by Miss Mabel Brown, two
cups by Frank and Melissa Kirkpatrick.
A short speech by the writer was made
in presentation. A reply was made by
Mr.. Baird
The tables were spread and they did
groan under such loads Of good things to
eat. All seemed to enjoy very much the
way they spent the day, and especially
at the table.
Mr. and Mrs. Baird came to the place
where they now live April Z, 1871, and
for some time lived in a 'dug-out or in
other words they lived in the ground,
and were surrounded by the following
good neighbors: T. J. Fullum, W. S.
Pratt, Samuel Maxwell, Andrew LAUGH
lin, w. c. Brown, VIM. Kirkpatrick,
Giles Harndon. Daniel Gunsalus, T. j.
Moore, w. o. Huss and Dr.. Watson.
All the above settled in II and ~
Mr. and Mrs. Baird were here during the
''grasshopper year." and learned indeed
that the grasshopper was truly a burden.
They have passed through the many
trials to which the early settlers were
subject in Kansas years ago. 1t is not
necessary to name the many who were
present to witness the celebration of the
twentieth anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Baird's marriage Suffice it to say there
were 100 persons present. 1t seemed
that every one had full enjoyment of the
entire day. The people began to eat
about one or two O'Clock and when we
left at 3:4j they were still eating. During
this long interval the young folks began
to fear of having to eat dinner and sup
per at the same time, so they sent a Pc
tition and requested room to eat at the
next table, and even they were unable to
alleviate the table Of its burden. The
last table ate after o'clock, and after all
this there were more than twelve baskets
full taken up of the fragments. Don't
talk of hard times in Kansas. The hard
est time we've had was to rid those
tables Of their burdens, and while this
was almost an endless job it was very
pleasant one.
There were not 5000 fed, but more
than twelve baskets taken up.
This grand surprise was set on foot by
the w. r. c.. of Mt. Hope, and many
others helped to hold it up. Many of the
old settlers of '73 and IA were present to
bid the couple God speed and assist in
making it a success. We wish the
couple, whom we left in charge of the
house and the remains of the burdened
tables, happy future and grand enjoy
ment of their pleasant home. May the
next twenty years be happy ones and
well spent in the service of God and
home. |. II. FULLER.

was presented with a badge by Com
mander Feighan in behalf of the men,
bers Of the department. The past COM
mander is devoted member of the Bap-
fist church, and in closing his remarks
on the reception of the present, in most
feeling manner, with voice trembling
with emotion. he besought his comrades
to become valiant soldiers in the army
of the Lord Jesus, which so touched the
800 men before him that when Seward
had concluded his appeal, they rose in a
body and sang a hymn and closed the
exercises with the doxology and the
benedictiOn.

less all but one-half of its brains. The
head is on exhibition at Henton & Bas-
sets and the chicken will be exhibited
on Thursday and Friday. 1t is certainly

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

In discussing the tariff question as it
affects the sugar interests of the country
the Denver World says: The native
area suitable to the production of cane
sugar is very limited, but the area of the
production of grape sugar-which in
cludes all other liinds-is almost cock
tensive with the boundaries of the ma
ton. We can probably produce all the
sugar we consume and furnish it at much
less than the present price, if the capital
of the country be encouraged to embark
in the enterprise and the scientific thought
of the country be directed to perfecting
the process of extracting and manipulat-
ing the saccharine principle, which exists
III such great variety of vegetable sub
stances. But it will take a wiser govern
ment than we have got to bring all this
about" The World seems to have fallen
into common error as to the resources
of this country in the production of cane
sugar, 1t seems TO not know of the sue
cessful approximations with the sor-
ghum cane and of the almost universal
adaptation of soil and other conditions
for its successful production In view.
then. of the varied and ample sources
right amongst us from which unlimited
supplies of sugar may be had, if the gov
ernment will but encourage it by ex-
tending bounty for its production or
otherwise protecting it against unfair
foreign competition, capital will be put
