LET BOTKIN RESIGN = HIS BISHOP
SAYS SO.

A personal letter to the editor of the
EAGLE says that Wednesday night OF
last week Bishop Ninde, at Paola, made
an address to four hundred or more per-
sons, in the course Of which he used the
following language touching preachers
in politics, that is, Methodist preachers:
"a Methodist minister is citizen.
He was citizen before he was minis
ter. He has right to his political opln-
ions. and at the right time and place to
express them He has a right to be
nominated for office and to accept such
nomination; but when he does so with
out resigning his ministry, he cannot re
tain his own self respect nor the respect
of others.
The bishop didn't mention Botkin S
name, but Botkin need not be told that
he was meant.
Brother Botkin, we guess upon the
whole, you had as well step down and

A. J. Streeter, the Union Labor partv's
candidate for president, in an interview
published in the Kansas City Times Of
Friday, the Goth, said: II am led to
believe that the Union Labor party viii

come from the Republican party. This
triangular fight cuts into the Republican
majority to such an extent that / expect

There is nothing new in this declaration,
for the real object of that and other
diversions in this state has been known
all along TO be the defeat Of the Rspub-
lican party without regard to methods
or consequences. But the distinguished
individual named is greatly uagnifying
the strength Of his following in this
state. He viii not receive anything Like
half of the number he claims, and he is
equally in error In supposing that his
contingent is drawn in larger proportion
from the Republican than the Demo
cratic party There IS without doubt,
surprise in store for that chieftain, but Il

TIE LAST WEEK.

The very fright Of the Democrats at
the present look of the canvass makes 1t
all the more certain that, if they leave
ANYTHING undone to better their pros
poets during this last week, it will
be because they don't happen to think
of it.
1t other words, it will be from lack of
brains, and not from any lack of will,
unscrupulousness, or money.
This last week of the campaign means
business, then. Always important, 1t
may be decisive. Every hour of every
working day now is precious. The work
done now, in this week, clinches the
work of all the previous months OF dis
cussion and preparation. Necessary
work neglected or half-done now may
mean defeat.
Meetings, speeches, street parades-all
excellent and useful things in their way
and degree-are not SO important IN
these last days of the campaign as thor
oughly organized, systematized, ward
Upward. reet-by-street, block-by- block,
house-by-house work with the individual
voters.
The one supremacy important thing to
be done now is to make sure Of the pres
ence at the polls on election day of every
Republican voter well enough to walk or
be carried there, and in addition OF as
many soundly converted, anti-free trade
ayIlan, pcratS as rnSSible
If the full vote is brought out in every
northern state, Mr.. Cleveland and his
Mills bill will be beaten handsomely.
But that is a tremendously important If.

Brother Botkin in asking Wichita peo-

spring while on his way to the general
conference he made speech in Wash

He followed a Topeka preacher who
said he lived in the best city in the
world, by saying that he, Botkin, lived
in the worst city-Wichita. Botkin may
deny this, but the Associated press sent
it out all over the world all the same, and
the Associated press don't often make
mistakes.

Hazelton Happenings.

Last week we rode down to Kiowa
and from there to Medicine Lodge and
back to Hazelton. We found the farm
ers between HaZeltOn and Kiowa busy
blowing their land for early planting;
from Kiowa to Capt. Julian's we only
saw one team at work; from there to
Medicine Lodge each seemed determin-
ed to excel IN both quantity and quail
ity of work done; from Medicine Lodge
to HaZelton there are but few farms
but that show the marks of energy and
pluck. We have never seen as much
farming done at this season of the year
at any time during the nine years we
have been in Kansas; nor have we seen
the land IN better condition for lreceiv-
ing the seed than it is now. Wheat
never looked better than now; stock
has generally wintered well; farmers
ale feeling confident of big crops and
there seems to be a general feeling that
the hard times are about over. There
is no class of men that is more deter
mined to overcome every obstacle and
succeed amidst difficulty than the class
that have come west to make homes
and fortunes. :. We lately heard of a
young school teacher who is a good
financier, if reports are true. She took
school at S45 per month, for six
months; taught four months then en-
ployed a substitute for the remaining
two months for S25 per month, thereby
making clear profit of $40 and moth
ing to do for two months. She is bound
TO succeed. The report here is that
the round house is to be taken from
KiOwa to point in Texas in few days.
-. John Warner and family have been
called to mourn the loss of their elder
son Charles Warner; he was taken sick
about the 1st of February with pneu-
mOEia fever. He died last Thursday
morning and was buried Friday ever
ing. The parents and friends have the
sympathy of their many friends in this
their hour of affection. C. NJ. Powell,
living south of here on the strip, had
the misfortune tohave his house burned
Thursday morning. He lost nearly
every thing in the house. He claims it
was the work of an enemy We see by
the Express that the kid that is in
charge of the Croll-Herrington business
at this place, is disposed to question
our statement two weeks ago, regard
ing their proposed sale to Mr.. Clark.
All we will say TO the young man is to
go to the man that furnishes the bulk
of the capital and brains that runs the
firm and ask him whether we reported
facts or not. That rain Saturday
came just at the right time. The grass
is starting up in good season and cattle
can soon live OH the range, which VIII
stop considerable expense for feed. =.
