ENGLISH DESIGNS UPON THE
STATES.

1t is a curious fact that among Euro
peans coming to this country tc live the
English form the only class that as rule
has abstained from securing naturaliza
ton. SO true has this been, and so
marked, that an organized effort has
been deemed advisable to influence our
nOn-citizen English population to iden-
tify themselves with the government
and take part in our politics. This
course has been strongly advocated by
English papers and with so much zeal as
to suggest some special design in the
movement. It has been associated with
the moral and material aid given the
Irish nationalist by citizens Of the Uni
ted States, and the intimation mas been
circulated that Englishmen were urged
to qualify themselves to vote as neu-
Trailing influence against the Irish in
America. Professor Goodwin Smith, an
Englishman who hates a home ruler
above all things, in addressing
the Canadian club Of New York
city recently, left no doubt
OF this motive so far as he was author
lied to interpret it. He advised the
English-Americans to become natural
lied and told them that they would ''be
doing their manifest duty to the republic
by preventing it from being used as the
engine of an alien feut.." That is to say,
an Englishman should take the oath Of
allegiance to the United States in order
to protect the union between England
and Ireland.
Our Irish fellow-citizens were apprised
of this counter move against them and
the West-Murchison correspondence
gave further emphasis to the Interior de-
signs of their hereditary enemies, hence
their change of alliance from the Demo-
cratic to the Republican party. Our
English citizens have probably discov-
cred by this that the naturalization oath
of this country was not framed for such
purposes as they would make use of it,
but rather to bind men to maintain the
laws and promote the union and general
welfare of the United States as a nation.

An ardent sportsman of Bangor was
cutting through the ice on the pond pre-
paratory to days sport, using chssel
with handle like shovel, which by
accident slipped from his grasp and dis
appeared in about six fathoms of water.
He mourned his loss, for it meant harder
work tomorrow to get through the ice
without it. Nothing daunted he pre-
pared his line and placed on the hook a
plump live sinner and returned to camp
to relate his misfortune. Trying his line
shortly after, his first impression was
that he had hooked a Chinaman, so hard
did it pull, but when he had landed his

stuck upright in the mud, the sinner had
swung through the hole in the handle,

up around the handle, making the cap

Elections and Educators,

century TOPICS OIL tn5
For such presidential election us that
of 1888, with its fair and open struggle
between two natural opposed political
principles and its consequent influence
as a political educator for the American
democracy their need be nothing but
congratulations for the country, let its
cost be what it may. There have been
elections over which no such no such
congratulations could be uttered--eleC-
tions in which the cost was as great
and the election results nothing or next
to nothing; but no such criticism can be
aimed at the election OF this year.
There are very few voters in this coun-
try who have not in November far
larger and more distinct knowledge of
the economic principles which underlie
their political beliefs than they had SIX
months ago: and, whatever may be the
party result of the election, this educa-
tional result is after all, the fundamen-
tai reason for the existence of the presi-
dental election itself. And as we see
this result continually coming into
greater prominence, we may congratu-
late ourselves more heartily on the
wisdom which gave US such an educa-
tional force and on its new proof that
Democracy is not the rule of ignorance,
but system of Self-educatiOn.

A Year Of Penalty.

F. E. Jerome. in the Wilson Hawkeye.
AS many persons throughout Kansas
have known for years past, we have
made meteorology a prominent study,
and that our predictions Of approaching
weather for the past ten years have aver
aged 100 per cent for the state at large.
According to our annual custom we have
just completed our figures for the year
1889, and find that great year of plenty
lies before the people of Kansas, Ne
braska and Iowa, and if damage
occurs to crops it will only be by
severe storms or floods of water. The
coming winter promises to be severe,
and very cratic in temperature, the
changes taking place in many cases in
moments time. Western Kansas will
raise larger and heavier crops than east
ern Kansas, and also be visited by more
violent wind storms. Tornadoes will
visit the Republican, Solomon, Kansas
and Arkansas rivers with much violence
during the months of May, June and
July. st. Joseph, Atchison, Leaven-
worth and Kansas City will get unpleas
ant cuts from these storms. Regardless
of these storms, western Kansas farmers
will rejoice in a year of plenty. Cut
this out and save it for reference.

We hear of one man having twenty
acres of land pretty 'close in" which
has been for two years lying in lots mark
ed by wooden pins and plowed roads,
who has literally pulled up stakes and
will put the whole land into barley. This
will take just so many lots from the mar
ket, and will also heal some of the wounds

likewise.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

For many years Kansas has talked of
new constitution. The state had long
since outgrown the old one which was
only made to do. at all, by patching it
up with amendments submitted to the
people for ratification from year to year
Everybody seemingly agreed that new
constitution was desirable, but every
body couldn't be made to consent to
taking the chances of what a constitu-
tional convention might do with certain
amendments already secured. Because
of these issues legislatures have been
afraid to act.
The question Of new constitution is
one which demands discussion and
which viii come before the next legis-
lature, therefore the EAGLE suggests to
the state senators and representatives
elect that they not only post themselves
but Interview their constituencies touch
