THAT BRUTAL SPEECH.

That some of the tribe might claim
that the EAGLE did not report what was
said by the colored delegate to the Union
Labor convention correctly, we quote
the special dispatch of the Kansas City
Journal of next day, which dispatch
was written by \. G. Stacey, one of the
Oldest and most reliable newspaper re-
porterS in the west:
Another speaker. a colored preacher
from kingman, made the subject OF his
talk the Americans Have too Much Edu-
cation, Which Has Crowded All the
Sense Out of Their Head" AT the close
OF his talk he paid his respects to the Re
pubhcans and old soldiers. He said: eve
are freed. but our condition is worse than
II was before the war. The Republicans
claim they fought for Us. That Is not
true They fought for the salary the
United States paid them and for that
alone, aud you know it and you WON'T
deny it. The soldiers never thought OF
the niger in his country. II was money
lie wanted This was loudly applaudei.

W. G. T.. q.

The following resolutions and plans Of
work We're adopted by the Sedgwick
county w. C. I. Z. at their convention
held at Valley Center Aug. 81 and 22d,
1888.
Resolved. That we, as an organization,
return thanks to our heavenly Father,
for the way in which we have been led,
and ask for wisdom that we may be
guided in the future.
Resolved, That we urge upon the wo-
men of each district to be present at the
election of school trustees, and assist in
the election of such persons as will be
interested in the proper teaching of the
injurious effects of narcotics on the hui
man system, and who will employ
teachers who will properly instruct on
these topics.
Resolved, That as the safety of our
future devolves III the next generation.
we recommend that an earnest effort be
made by each local union to hold a
Mothers meeting each month and that
young mothers be earnestly invited to
attend.
Resolved, That as the duties of full
citizenship will soon deyolve upon our
women, tnat we urge upon each local
union to set apart one meetine of each
month to inform themselves upon the
duties preliminary to citizenship, that
we may bring to our new duties an en-
lightened conscience.
Resolved, That we reqCest each mem
Der to provide herself with bolt of
white ribbon, and tie knot to every
dress and wrap, that its silent influence
may be felt when ever seen.
Resolved, That we return our heartfelt
thanks to the Valley Center Union, first
of the county unions to invite to its
hospitable homes the W.. C. T.
T., and who have made it so
pleasant for the many who have at
tended, and also to she trustees who so
generously granted the convention the
use of their church.

PLAN OF WORK,

l. We recommend that tho work
among children receive more attention
and that this work extended TO those
boys and girls standing on debatable
ground between childhood and grown III
age; each local union be governed by
their own surroundings as to the best
methods Of reaching this class of BOYS
and girls.
:. We also recommend that the VS.
take upon themselves the work of gath
the city of Wichita and interesting in
the work. All the Us in the county
take upon themselves some line of juve-
nile work.
We recommend the plan of the Wich-
ita \ in securing interest in their festi-
walls and also in their methods of secur-
ing the interest of the young men in
their work.
We recommend all local unions to be
especially careful and prompt in sending
in their report to the proper officers of
the county unions. We recommend
article :, of the plan of work, in the
minutes of the report: THAT we should
bring pressure to bear to make total alb
stenance from alcohol and tobacco a
qualification for teaching in our public
schools and that such abstenance should
grade certificates; this as other qualifica-
lions are required.
We recommend all members of local
unions to inform themselves as to the
manner of conducting their meeting ac-
cording to parliamentary rules, and that
every member of the w. c. I. u. use
her influence in every way in her
power to advance the cause
of temperance and inform herself on all
subjects that would enable her to wisely
perform her duties as Christian
woman.
We further recommend that as many
possible take the leading temperance
paper, especially the Messenger. That
each woman deem it her especial work
Ia invite her neighbors to join US in this
work
We recommend to the county conven-
ton that a place on the program be
given to readings and recitations and
question box, thereby making it impos-
sible for numbers to stay at home, be-
cause there is nothing particular to be
done. Mrs. LAUGHLIN.

THE CoLORED MANS LOYALTY.


The loyalty of the cOlored man to his
country and to his party, and his pecul-
lar and forcible love for his home and
race are well attested facts But when
one of their number does get off wrong
the extreme to which he flies is phenom-
email. 4 negro who in the fall of the
history of his race il this country and of
their final dearly purchased redemption,
will so back on the Republican party, or
become the advocate of the Democratic
party and its doctrines is a dangerous
man and should be watched if not
Stunned by his fellow men. of what
ever color. If a white man, Republican
or Democrat, had made the charge
against the loyal. patriotic and self
sacrificing union soldier made by that
negro preacher in that mOngrel conven-
ton on Tuesday, in any ordinary crowd
Of men he would have stood a good
chance to have been mobbed. The most
heartless, rabid and unconvinced and
unconverted rebel TO be found in the
land would not make such charge.
The average Confederate soldier fought
from a conviction that he was in the
right and he conceded the same convic-
ton to the soldier who was exposing his
life TO p ut down the powers who were
attempting to carry the southern states
out Of the union.

Gov. Buoxners Veto Message Oh the
Ten-cent Tax Bill.

Gov. Bucxner's Veto Message OIL the
Ten-cent Tax Bill.
II respectfully return, without my
approval, Il bill entitled an act to All
thori2e the County Court OF Mullen
bergcounty to leyyan al valorem tax of
10 cents on each 500 worth of property,
for certain purposes.
As lar rs an advised this bill was ill.,
troluced for the following reasons;
Some years ago the county OF Nluh-
lenberg voted large subsidy to the
Elizabethtown and Paducah railway
The debt thus incurred seems to have
been larger than the county could pay.
After the county had been in default in
the payment of the interest on its bonds
for number of years, an act of the
Legislature was procured, enabling the
county To compromise with the holders
of the bonds for about one third of their
full value. \ considerable part of the
debt was thus compromised, apparently
with the consent of the county in its
corporate capacity. But a number of
the county, including the County Judge,
undertook, OH their individual RESPONSE
bility, to avoid the payment of the debt
by contesting the matter in the courts.
They were defeated in their efforts, the
courts having decided the question
against them.
IAN attempt is now made by this bill
to compel all the people of the county
to pay the personal debts of these con-
testants by levying tax of ten cents
per annum on every one hundred dol
lars of property for two years.
81 know of no authority in the Com
stitution which would Justify lesisla-
tive enactment compelling one indiyid-
Ual or II community of individuals to
pay the personal debts of another indi-
vidual or community. The proposition
is too plain to render more than Il state
Inrnt of the question necessary for the
Senate.
"rhc provisions of the bill make no
prctcnse Of public service rendered in
this litigation. On the contrary, it is
expressly declared in the first section
/ that the tax is to be levied for the pur-
pose OF paying their own proper costs
and expenses incurred since Judy 20, 49,
-, by sundry citizens, taxpayers of
Muhlenberg county, rs plaintiffs in the
lower court and appellants in the upper

liens of said county, including the cost
incurred by the County Judge of Muh-
lcnberg county in any action AGAINST

out of said first named litigation.
"Thc County Judge, thus personally
interested in the payment of AN inbebt-
cdness incurred in his private capacity,
is authorized by the same section To di-
rect levy of the tax; and the person

Democratic rule. The Democrats of
Kentucky condemn the action of
James w. Tate the defaulting treas.
urer. Our Republican frien Is are 81
lent when they remember the short
ages in the accounts Of many Of their
officials. We do not uphold defalca.
ton and dishonesty in any party and
mention this only to show the people
that the Democratic party is not re-
sponsible for the dishonesty of single
individuals any more than any other
party. Dishonest men are found in
all parties and should be condemned
wherever found. The Democratic
party will come before the people
this year with clean hands and fair
record and will make vigorous con-
test for principle and right. Let the
interest begin with the county con-
vention and let it be well attended.
