The Best CITY in Kansas.

a great many men in Kansas gained a
new opinion of Wichita last week. In
stead of the Windy Wonder of the
Plains, which we expected to find. we
visited the best city in Kansas. with a
busy, thriving population of 40, 600 souls.
Their immense factories, machine shops.
packing houses, and wholesale houses of
all kinds, show that their prosperity is
substantial, and what we have been led
to believe was bubble is veritable real
ity. Real estate has lost its fictitious
value of a year ago, and many specu-
lators have been ''squeezed;" but Wich-
tia is now the pride of Southern Kansas.
and promises to retain its rank at the
front of Kansas cities.

When the Republicans were in conven-

ports were quite lengthy, but the report
sent out of the Democratic convention was
very meager.-Winfield Telegram.
The reports of both conventions, as
they appeared in the Associated Press
dispatches, were made UP and sent out
by the representative and only author
lied agent of the association, and We're
meant to be fair and impartial in extent
and detail. If either was curtailed or in
any way altered after the reports left the
Wichita telegraph Office the agent here
is in no way responsible. A number of
papers had special correspondents here
at both conventions, and some of these
sent fuller reports to their papers than
the Associated Press report, and it may
be that the Telegram was not aware of
this fact. At any rate, this brief state
ment is made for the benefit of the Tel

After Hon. Knute Nelson, of Mime
sofa, made his ''attack on the tariff" as
the Democratic papers of the country
are pleased to denominate his speech de-
livered in congress short time ago on
the tariff question, the Democrats of
that state held their convention and took
occasion to congratulate Mr.. Nelson, by
resolution, upon his speech. Sub
sequently, however, Mr.. Nelson has
made some remarks that disabuses their
minds as to his attitude towards the
Republican party-predicting the over
whelming defeat of the Democratic
party-and now the Minnesota Demo-
Gratis are hunting for somebody to kick
them for their previousness in adopting
the resolution mentioned.

The Buffalo, N. Y. News of last Thurs
day, May II, contains what purports to
be an interview had with Blaine ON the
9th of April in which he uses
expressions decidedly favorable to Hon.
Chauncey Depew for the Republican
nomination for president. Whether
this is a clever scheme to boom Mr.. De-
pew for the nomination or not, it is
true that the party does not contain
cleaner, more competent man for the
position of president than the distin-
guished New Yorker. AS for Mr..
Blaine's support if he shall be the nomi-
nee, the EAGLE assumes to say that he
will give loyal, unreserved support to
the nominee of the Chicago convention,
whether it be Depew or some one who
has not been named in that connection.
That is our estimate of his loyalty to
his party.

ate Mr.. Click for delegate to the St.
Louis Democratic convention by accla-
nation the very emphatic ''No" with
which the proposition was received In
the Wichita convention, sounded the
death knelI of Mr.. Clicks leadership in
the Democratic party of Kansas. Of
course Mr.. Click was elected delegate
and resigned, but it was the appeal of
Judge John Martin that elected him. In
this more than anything else Judge
Martin proved himself the real leader OF
the Democratic party of Kansas. 1t was
plainly visible that civil service reform
was the cause of this opposition to Mr..
Click, and a very large majority Of
Democrats in the Wichita convention
were determined that Mr. Click should
not represent them in the st. Louis con-
vention. But when Judge Martin stepped
into the aisle in the very midst of that
great convention and made his appeal for
harmony and congressional districts that
had but moment before voted against
Geo. w. Click, arose and voted for him
in solid mass at the same time cheering
for Judge Martin, it did not take a
prophet to tell that Judge Martin is the
leader of the Democratic party of Kan
sas. Democratic would-be leaders in
Kansas would do well to make note of
this. Henceforth Judge Martin is king
of Kansas Democracy, and from present
appearances Ed Carroll is crown prince.
One of the numerous evils of prohibition

the landlord where he might procure

upon his Virginia dignity and said that a
refusal to communicate the desired infor-
nation would be taken as a mortal insult,
but the landlord said not word. Then the
injured Virginian smote him and left town

The Church Charges.

The following letter accompanied
the copy OF the charges against Church
recently forwarded to senator Hale:
Hon. Eugene Hale: l send here
with copies of charges and atfidavits
against Louis K. Church, governor of
Dakota, which were formulated ac-
cording to instructions of the demo-
cratic convention at Watertown, Da-
kota, last May. We then had great
struggle between the democratic peo-
pie and the office holders, wherein
nearly every federal Office holder from
the governor down, including his at
torney general and factotum, now a
presidential nominee for Judge of this
district, took indecent and offensive
part. The people were spurned at st.
Lou1s-kicked out of doors as Dakota
has been kept out of the union. These
charges are but samples of territorial
misrule. They were sent to the presi-
dent Sept. goth with an urgent request
that they be investigated and that, if
the evidence accompanying them was
not sufficient to justify action, an un-
biased commissioner from the DEPART
ment Of the interior be sent to take the
evidence of such parties as would be
needed. Up to this time the president
has not ACKNOWLEDGED the receipt of the
charges. On the contrary, l have been
notified by telegram from Washington
that Col. Lamont denies the receipt OF
the same. 1 am also informed through
the public press that Col. Lamont ad-
mits to friends the receipt of the char
ges, but that the president is too busy
to give them attention. We desire that
under the circumstances, in defense of
our constitutional right of petition for
redress of grievances, you move COM
mittee to Investigate the abuse of the

Governor Church Submits His Annual
Report to Secretary Villas.

Governor Church Submits His Annual
Report to Secretary Villas.
BIsMRAcK, Oak, Oct. 16.-Governor
Church has forwarded his annual re-
port to Secretary Villas. 1t is a very
elaborate document, and few extracts
will be interesting.
The report opens with comparative
statement of our population. In 1850,
5000; in 1870, ID, 181; in 1880, 1876, ,177; in
1885, 415,610; and in 1888, estimated
upon the public land entries for 1886,
1887 and 1888 down to date, the whole
number of people within the bound
aries of Dakota approaches closely to
100000.
The number of public land filings
12,070. He estimates the total number
of acres newly filed upon, purchased
by immigrants from railroad companies
and others at 2,50D,O 900 acres. or an era
twice the size of the state of Delaware.
The railroad mileage is given at g.
333 miles. New mileage since last re-
port, 4S2 miles. The total mileage is
exceeded in but thirteen of the thirty
eight states.
i,ne governor gives in statistics the
history of our farming industry. In
1860 less than 1000 bushels of wheat
was raised. In 1887. 82,000,00O bushels;
corn in 1885 yielded $4,000, 1893 bushels,
and in 1887 7over 24,000000 bushels
He gives the untaken government
area 100000 acres, or as a body of
land the size Of Indiana. This does not
include 27,000,000 acres in Indian reser-
vations that will sooner or later como
into the market.
The various institutions of public in
struction, including those devoted to ag-
riculture are reported to be in excellent
condition. The condition of all penal
and charitable institutions is also shown
to be satisfactory.
The question Of taxation of railroad
lands is treated at length, and history
of the attempt to tax the Northern Pa
cific grant is given.
The governor renews his recommend-
ations as to the "Aien Land Law"
urging modification so that foreign
capital seeking Investment on mortgage
security can come in. BE thinks that
foreign corporations might be allowed to
loan money on lands, and il compelled
to take the property in payment be al
lowed a certain time in which to dispose
Of the same, by which the people would
have access to larger amount of capital,
which would greatly aid in the develop
ment of resources and would tighten the
burden that high rate Of interest i'm
poses upon the borrowers who in a new
country are necessarily numerous.
In concluding his message the gov
ernor urges upon congress the injustice
of longer keeping the territory, either as
a whole or divided, out of the union.
