THAT PROHIBITION PAPER, THH
LEADER, NOT DEFUNCT AS
CHARGED.

To the Editor of the EAGLE.
Perhaps you viii have the kindness to
make the following correction in your
paper: In yesterday mornings issue
you stated that 1.-THE Leader had played
out" Such is not the case. If it is de-
funct it is the most lively corps that
ever stalked abroad through Kansas.
The statements quoted in your editor
ial were made by one Horace l. New
berry, of Topeka, fellow who, by mis-
representations, ingratiated himself into
the confidence of the Leader publishing
company, and secured the position Of
business manager and secretary. 1t was
not long, however, before the company
discovered that he was Judas In the
camp, that his only purpose was to de-
feat the purposes of the party. The
company speedily kicked him out Of
office; then with his tongue and pen he
inaugurated most malicious war upon
the company and the party in the state.
His statements are false from beginning
to end, and the name of Horace l.
Newberry is and will be henceforth a
synonym of treason in the prohibition
ranks. The Leader will hereafter ap-
pear on time.

a FEW QUESTIONS,

What party was it that set the colored
people free?
What party was it that did all they
could to prevent it?
What part was it that gave colored
men the legal right to vote?
What party was it that did all they
could TO prevent it:
What party is it down south that uses
the shotgun and other violent means to
prevent cOlored men from voting, and
refuses to count them when they do get
few votes in?
What party is it that is in favor of a
free vote and fair count for colored
men everywhere?
After answering these questions any
colored man ought to know how to vote,
if he has any regard whatever for
his own welfare or the welfare Of his
race.

IGNORANCE OF FACTS,
To the Editor of the Eagle.

! To the Editor of the Eagle.
WICHITA, Kan, June 80, 1888.
In the Beacon of the 2Sth inst, this
remark is made, Morton will not shell
out enough money to buy the vena
Irish vote Of New York" The writer OF
that article exposes his ignorance OF
facts regarding the reasons why the
Irish will this year support the nominees
of the Republican party. Which are
that they as people are tired of giving
their support to party that in return
have always repaid their honest support
| by the basest treachery. The Democrat
party belong horse, foot and dragons
TO the idea of free trade, thereby giving
joy to England, and this is one reason
why the Irish are found leaving that
praty by brigades.
They have not forgotten the taunt
flung in the face of their great leader
| John Kelly in the Democratic conven-
ton of 1884, 1--WE love him cleveland
because of the enemies he has made. -
They will answer this taunt by saving,
I'VE hate him because of the friends he
has cherished" New York Times and
Harpers Weekly. Neither have they
forgotten how treacherously their rep
reSentative leader (Francis Kernan) was
slaughtered in 1872 when a candidate for
governor, receiving thousands of votes
less than the rest of the ticket, and
this has been the treatment that
the Democratic party has always
melted to them and their leaders.
Whenever one of their race has received
nomination from the Republican
party he has been Loyalty supported. and
as one instance | will mention the poor
Irish bootblack of Troy, New York,
whom the party has time and again
elevated TO one of the highest offices in
the state. Many of you readers will rec
ognlze IN this sketch General Joseph
Carr, eX-secretary of state of New York.
Levi P. Morton will not require to pur-
chase any Irish votes, venai or other
wise. They have not forgotten the man,
who Is years ago, while refusing to let
his name be known, guaranteed that if
the United States government placed at
the disposal of the committee for the re-
lief of the ADMINISTRATOR Irish a vessel
that it would be loaded. if he had to
supply the whole cargo himself: and the
facts are that Levi P. Morton furnished
one half of that cargo. And when a
candidate for congress some months
later, the New York Tablet, a Catholic
and Democratic newspaper, first gave
his name to the public as the man whom
many had failed to discover, and he was
elected by majority of many thousands
in district that one year later buried
". w. Astor lie oblivion. notwithstand-
ing the fact that he spent thousands OF
dollars during the campaign. These
men viii again vote for Levi P Morton,
fact well known to the convention that
nominated him.
The Beacon may live to regret the ex-
preston of ''venal Irish vote, but il will
only be because it's pocket will feel the
effect of withdrawal OF patronage from
q sheet that as campaign powder can
only use that old Democratic chestnut
forgery that exploded In 1880 with such
disastrous effect on the exposure of the
Morey letter. A progressive and en-
lightened people will never support a
sheet behind the times.

PHENOMENA FOR JULY.

To 5he Editor o. Tie Daily EAyia.
The sun. as shown by the table below,
crosses the meridian each day few min
utes before noon by the clock local time.
The first thirteen days Of June it crossed
the meridian little afternoon. local
clock time. This variation is caused By
the fact that the apparent motion of the
sun from west to east is not uniform. be-
ing sometimes slower. sometimes faster.
Hence it is that clocks cannot De made
that viii keep time with the sun, and in
order that orr clocks may be serviceable
we have an imaginary sun that moves
uniformly from west to east, This i'm.

aginary sun is called the mean sun, and
| with this mean sun the good clock keeps
time.
Sometimes the mean sun is ahead OF
the true sun, sometimes behind it, and
four times year the two are
| on the same meridian together. During
this month, the time that the true sun is
| in advance of the mean sun. increases
from 3 minutes and 80 seconds on the
LIST to minutes and and ID seconds on
the 25th, at which time the distance be-
| tween them begins to decrease, and the
time marked by the true sun begins to
approach that marked by the correct
time piece. On the both of August the
true sun again passes to the east of the
mean sun and on the ID of November is
Is minutes and 81 seconds east of it,
is local time by the clock will be Is min
utes and u seconds faster than local
time by the true sun. There Is still
another difference between sun time and

arising from the fact that our clocks

are nearly 80 minutes west of the nine

it Will be about twenty-five minutes
past noon when the sun says noon. On
the Sd of July the suns distance from
the earth will be greater than at any
about three million miles further from
us than it was on the Bird of January,
1888.
The moon, on Sunday evening, July
22nd, will be totally eclipsed. The
eclipse will be visible throughout North
and South America, portions of Europe,
Africa and the Pacific ocean. The moon
rises on that evening at 7:l3, and, though
far to the south, will, by the time the
eclipse comes on, be SO well up in the
heavens as toafford good view. If the
evening is clear. the eclipse will be a
pretty sight. Below viii be found the
times Of the beginning, totality and
ending of the eclipse.
The planets that can, this month, be
seen with the naked eye or opera glass
are Saturn, Mars. Uranus ami Jupiter.
Saturn is too near the sun for viewing,
and on the last day of the month will
disappear in the suns rays. Jupiter is
the only planet in favorable position for
telescope work with small instrument
OF his four satellites the first will
be visibly eclIpsed four times during the
month, the second one twice. OF these
six eclipses four occur on Sunday eve
ming.
1t is very interesting to watch through
the telescope the disappearance or reap
pearance of one of these eclipsed moons.
The interest is heightened when one
knows that, four years before any one of
these eclipses takes place, the exact
minute and second of the disappearance
or temperance of a moon had been
figured out and published III our govern
ment almanac. And with watch in
hand it Is delight to view moon dis
appear or come in sight just on time.
A business man of the city, who is
both well read in astronomy and inter-
ested in its study, has taken frequent ad-
vantages of the opportunity to use the
telescope in witnessing some
of these interesting phenomena.

An incident occurred recently at Dnr-

ton is doing for US now. A gray-haired
old colored man drove into town behind
a half starved steer, bringing his seasons
crop of tobacco. He stood watching the
crowd of buyers as they bid against each
other on the piles that represented his
crop. AS the amount grew higher and
higher, his eyes grew larger and larger,
and he changed his quid of tobacco from
side to side so quickly that he did not
have time to chew it. When the price

In order to help along his little BOOM
let for the gubernatorial nomination-so
allegod-Judge Jno. Martin has pur-
chased an interest in the Abilene Ga
Zette. Perhaps it is this trenching upon
the journalistic territory that prompts
the opposition of the Lawrence Gazette,
Paola Spirit and Erporia Democrat to
the jolly judges aspirations just at this
time. The judge doubtless fancied that
such venture would prove to be clever
coup, one that would capture the press
gang of the party, nolens volens, but
the trio mentioned couldn't see it that
way. Tine chances are that they will
severally and collectively gently drop
into the groove little later, along with
