THINGS HAVE CHANGED,

Evidently Kansas City has heard some,
thing drop, down in this vicinity. The
Times in admonishing the business men
of that city to redoubled activity in the
matter of reaching out after the trade of
the new territory just opened and to be
opened this year by the extension of
railroad lines. says:
The indications for this season point to
an enormous wheat yield in Kansas and
! fine crops of all sorts in the whole territory
! supplied by our markets. The vast num-
| Der of new settlers in western Kansas, No
Man's-Land and the Texas Panhandle
that went in last year will have their first
full crop this year. Suppose, in addition
! to these advanced demands, the Oklahoma
bill is passed, bringing a tremendous tide
of immigration in this direction. The
simple fact is that we can not even
attempt to handle the trade and it
must go to other places. Nobody who
studies the situation doubts that this will
be the greatest year in development the
southwest has ever had. The Texas Pan
handle has just been tapped by railroads.
The country opened in advance of settle
ment by railroads last year will be rapidly
filled up, not only in the Panhandle, but in
western Kansas and eastern Colorado
The Times then goes on to contrast
that city'S situation as to territory and
the demands that will be made upon it
in the way Of trade and its facilities for
handling it. with those of Chicago, in
the last mentioned feature acknowledge
ing that it is largely deficient, and con-
cludes by urging the capitalists and bust
ness men of the city to prepare for the
flood of new business that, it is predicted,
will pour in upon them. All this is
timely enough in view of the present
situation in which our ambitious neigh
Dor over the border finds itself, but we
have notion that is prompted mainly
by the unexpected development and
advancement made by Wichita in the
matter of railroads and general business
facilities.
Wichita's relation to the territory
alluded to by the Times, both in point of
accessibility, extent and richness in
commerce, in comparison to Kansas
City's, is infinitely superior to that sus-
tanned by the last named place as
compared to Chicago's in regard to the
territory tributary to those cities
Wichita fully appreciates this advantage
and will supplement it with every other
facility the demands of the immense
trade that is sure to come here may
require. These facts are known in
advance to the people of the new terri
tory from which Kansas City hopes for
much, and it is as natural that they
shall give this city the preference over
Kansas City as that they would give
that place the preference over Chicago
as between those places. Kansas City's
day of dominating the trade of the
territory now tributary to Wichita is
past. Of this fact that place will do
well to take due notice and govern
itself accordingly.

While absorbed in figuring out ma
jority for our fayorite candidate in the
forthcoming Chicago convention. let usnot
forget that the candidate in the st. Louis
convention who gets the nomination
ought, under ordinary circumstances, to
have hard roe to hoe. One of the laws
and traditions of the Democracy is the
two-thirds rule. Even Stephen Grover
Cleveland may not pocket two-thirds
of the little jokers. The two-thirds rule
is now more than half a century old. Its
first appearance was in the convention
which renominated Jackson in 1882,
when, pending the vote for candidate
for vice-president, it was resolved that
two-thirds of the whole number Of the
votes in the convention shall be neces-
sary to constitute choice" During the
ante-bellum period the slavery interest
maintained this rule as an easy device
for preventing the choice Of candidate
Objectionable to the south. The present
use and efficacy of the rule for good are
doubtful. A very pretty test vote of
Cleveland's strength in the convention,
when it assemblies, might arise upon a
motion tie abolish the two-thirds regula-
ton.

A DELEGATION FOR INGALLS,.

1t is undoubtedly true that there is a
widespread and growing sentiment in
the state of Kansas in favor of sending
strong and united delegation to Chica-
go in favor of John James Ingalls,. 1t is
equally true that such step would give
the state prominence in the first place,
and in the second place it would leave
Kansas in position to do the very best
thing for herself in case of emergencies.
An ingalls, delegation would mean not
only the endorsement of one of
the brightest political characters con-
nected with the history of our state. and
at present United States senator, whose
position in that body renders him one of
the most prominent men Of his day, but
would mean that the Kansas delegation
was tied to the fortunes of no
aspirant outside the state, and that
it would not be in the hands of
any set of political traders at home or
abroad. Besides. there are the possibili-
ties Of success, net probably for the first
or even the second place, at this time,
but Of success for the future. By send
ing such a delegation to Chicago for
such purpose, the delegation at once
becomes a factor in every possible move,
almost, while if sent only on general
principles nobody knows into whose
hands it will fall, or when or where, and
probably little care. In the meantime
a score of local politicians would attempt
to trade upon it in as many directions.
AS to the objections being made by a
few politicians and editors against the
sending of an ingalls, delegation to Chi
cage the EAGLE cares nothing. These
come of the personal feelings-may be
grievances-of the directors, and do not
concern the great and radical Republican
party of Kansas, who stand ready not
only to do the best possible thing for the
party, but who delight to bestow well
earned and merited honor.

KENTUCKY'S SENSATION.

Kentucky is just now in the midst of a
sensation that eclipses any that has tran
spired in the state for quarter of cen
fury, caused by the disappearance of
State Treasurer Tate and the discovery
of a large deficit in his cash accounts.
The details of the matter, las far as known,
are given in the dispatches and we have
no doubt are substantially correct. The
management and condition of the states
finances has afforded almost a continu-
Gus scandal upon the state government
for dozen wears. Notwithstanding the
fact that the state had practically no
debt twelve years ago-it was the pride
and boast of orators and press of the con-
trolling party-and the further fact that
the state had no extensive or expensive
public work on hand during that time.
il has been necessary for them to main
tain the rate of taxation for state pur-
poses at the maximum, and in spite
of this deficit of half mil
lion dollars occurred several years
ago and il became necessary for the
state to so into the money market and
borrow that amount of money. Not
only so. but the question of revenue and
taxation and the states financial status
has invoked more attention on the part
of the legislature than any other, not
excepting the management Of the peni-
Tertiary. But through all this Honest
Dick Tate has never been suspected of
the slightest crookedness. Nor do the
recent developments necessarily make
him personally dishonest
The secret of the whole trouble. we
have no doubt, has been his kindness of
heart. that has led him to favor his
friends, and these have permitted the
of such irregularity to fall
on him. If this supposition is correct
these so-called friends. while not amen
able to the law, are vet more culpable in
the wrong doing than their victim of
confidence.
The case is diSsimilar TO that of Treas
urer Taylor Of Tennessee who few

The world at large has given hearty
welcome to Emperor Frederick the
Third-Our Fritz-as he came to be
termed almost universally during the
war. He has always
been favorite and looked upon as one
who in ascending the throne would do
honor to the cause of good men every
where. His expressions since becoming
emperor Justify all the faith and expec-
tation that the people entertained regard
ing him. Some of his utterances are as
worthy of admiration in a republic as in
an empire. Of this character is the fol-
lowing expression in one of his letters to
Bismarck: Careless of splendor and
glorious achievement, l shall be content
if it can be hereafter said of my govern
ment that it has been beneficial to my
people and useful to my country" In
the new world as in the Fatherland this
sort of sentiment will be hailed with
pleasure and satisfaction. There will be
pride everywhere in the accession of Our
Fritz to the throne, and sorrow every
where that a cruel fate seems to have
doomed his reign to be short one.

Political lines are beginning to assume
shape. The three delegates to the Re-
publican national convention from Phila-
delphia are said to be for Gresham, while
the South Carolina delegation is solid for
Sherman. Unfortunately, however,
straws like this last don't amount to
much, coming from that direction. Votes
that can be counted at the election are
the ones that tell for a candidate. and
that's what makes the three for Gresham
worth more than nine for Sherman.

The unprecedented blizzard in the cas-

The unprecedented blizzard in the east
last week is likely to effect some bene-
fetal results in the great metropolis at
least. In speaking of this the New York
World says: Two important lessons at
least are taught in the premises. One is
that an underground rapid transit sys-
tenn would have done what the elevated
roads could not do. Another is that if
the telegraph wires had been placed
under ground as contemplated by law,
they would have been made to subserve
specially important duty at time
when they were most sorely needed.
Stilted railways and surface telegraphic
communication will no longer answer
for this great city" Undertakings of
the magnitude of those above mentioned
can not fail of great benefit to the CON-
munity, calling as they will for the en-
ployment of vast amounts of capital and
labor.
