COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
HnG TWELVE APOS Ties.

The Twelve Apo.t!es Of the Mormon
Church in Utah have issued their an
nual letter OF Twice 20 their people. 1t
il an eXhortation to clean and right liv-
ing, and contains not word in support
OF polygtmy. A young elder in the
conference raised his adolescent voice
IN behalf of plural marriage, aud wax
"a! upon by his elder elders, to his great
confusion Signs multiply that the
Church intends to put itself in liue with
the cu,toms of civilization aud the
laws of the country upon this subject,
and We arc persuaded that if Congress
VIII propose aud the States adopt IN
amendment to the Consultation forbid
ding .polygamy in any st ste or Terri
tory, and giving the Federal Courts ell
tire jurisdiction of the question, the
whole system will soon disappear.
Such an amendment should protect the
families which ure the past fruits of
polygalny, aud shoald net visit upon
women the reprouch of unchnstIty, nor
npon children the stain Of illegitinncy.
Nor should it relieve selfish men of the
support of those for whom they are
morally or immorally responsible.
The Mormons hive homes and prop
erty, and in their lives illustrnt many
Of the virtues Of hum unity, and the
policy of the Government SHOULD be to
build upon these and make ensy abni
donment of practice upon which the
modern world frowns in NIL countries.-

THAT CORN CONVENTION.

Some of our exchanges fail to compre-
hend, or pretend to fail to understand
the corn convention. The Newt ton Re
publican says its tired of crOakeTs. That
paper, nor any other paper, never heard
any croaking from the EAGLE or from
Wichita. The EAGLE stood up for this
valley with all the words of encourage
ment at its command, and with al the
brightest pictures of which it was capa-
ble, at time when the balance Of the
state were declaring it failure and when
it was being deserted by thousands. The
years which followed proved most abun-
dant and prosperous and the substance
more thGn the things hoped for. Wich-
ita is no ''croaker," ''whimperer," or
agricultural killjoy." and that fling Of
the Republican is gratuitous, entirely.
The Wichita board of trade, which
in fact is but an association of
2J0 business men, are anxious always,
and ready ever, to do anything in their
power for the advancement Of all the in
terests Of southwest Kansas, which inter
ests include those Of agriculture and live
stock. They recognize that we must all
prosper together or all alike suffer. In
discussing the corn question, III Saptem-
Der last, it was determined to make
move III conjunction with the railways
to have the seed Of such corn as would
mature in 100 days supplied or made ac-
cessible to the farmers Of southwest
Kansas, if possible. Then came the sug-
gestion for a conference ana comparison
of notes and experiences Of leading agri-
culturists and business organizations
throughout the southwest. The conven-
ton called was the result As to the
wording of the call, there was 10 inten-
ton of holding out that there had been
any disastrous failure, but rather that
the aggregate yield Of corn might have
been possibly greatly increased The
EAGLE goes upon the record that with
the proper seed corn. as grea5 as may
have been the aggregate yield, that it
could have been increased, in ten south
west counties, twenty, maybe thirty mil
mions of bushels in the past year.
Now, while we write. farmer living
eight miles south Of Wichita, NJ. Henry
Grosh, lays seven magnificent ears of
corn on our table, planted with northern
seed, on the 10Th day of May which. in a
note to us he says will average from 10 /.
to IS bushels to the acre, while an ad-
joining field, planted twenty days Drevi-
Gus with southern seed. was hardly
worth gathering. VIII anybody say
that the knowledge Of such results is /
not valuable? VIII any amount of kick
ing and sneering convince 3Ir. Grosh .
that the quick maturing seed was the
most valuable:

4 LOOK AHEAD.

\ large number of our Democratic ex-
changes seem still unable to understand
what it was that hit them on the sixth of
last month, now twenty-eight davs
gone by. With characteristic mod
esty they take the position that. as they
can rot understand it, it cannot be. and
so they go on shouting and finding fault
and fretting IS if they would alter the
result. It makes life easier for them
and hurts no one else, and, if it keeps on
forever, it viii never stop.
Meanwhile the country is moving right
along just if there Were no mourners.
Americans look ahead rather than back

a gamble, beyond the certainty that his

national not sectional, broad not parti-

development is opening before the
country, and the Thanksgiving theorizer
who has been meditating or the state OF

United States Of America with a re-
newed conviction that we have the
right to celebrate a national Thanksgiy-
ing day-sixty millions OF people at

burdened only by the surplus in our

tlonal debts accumulate, standing
armies exhaust the men and substance
of the land, and governments are put to
their utmost efforts to maintain them
selves.

The Wichita EAGLE is whooping up the
capital removal just EOw. Too late. The
Windy Wonder can never divert the tide
Of opinion that is setting toward Abilene
and will eventually bear the capital hither.
Abilene Reflector.
The EAGLE is not particularly 'whoop-
ing up" the capital removal question Just
now. What it has said has been but the
voicing of Widespread sentiment on the
question. Nor has it tried to turn the
tide of opinion from Abilene or any
other point towards Wichita as implied
in the Retiector's squib: it cares nothing
about the matter of where the capital
shall be located if it is removed, only.
that as it has repeatedly said, Wichita
don't want it.
