Republican candidates and their sup
posed respective bids for the soldier
vote seemed to be enjoyed with equal
zest on both sides of the chamber.
In conclusion Mr.. Vest said "Parti-
san or non-partisan my convictions re-
auire me to vote against the bill and L
say here now that | hope it may die the
death in the other branch of the national
Congress, and if not there at the hands
of the Executive. If that be unparlia-
mentary make the most OF it,"
After further brief speeches from
Messrs. Teller and Plumb. Mr.. Wilson
of Maryland, member OF the Committee
on Pensions, declared himself opposed
10 the bill as it now stood amended. He
gave figures of the enormous amount
paid in pensions, and thought that tho
people were opposed to any further ex-
tension of the pension system. II was
time TO call halt. The bill rs originally
reported would make the pension list
amount, he said, to 500, 900. With
the amendment put on to it the amount
extended would be 1925, 900, coo, and
probably more.
Without taking vote on the bill or
the pending amendment the Senate pro-
ceeded TO executive business, and at $50
adjourned.

DEMOCRACY LOSING ITS GRIP ON
THE SOUTH.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Some time ago you went to Washing
ton on business and evidently caught on
to the political situation, as when you
got home YOU wrote an editorial in oppo-
sition to the Republican party leaders
hosting the bloody-shirt. That editorial
may have brought you much abuse from
zealots and demagogues, but you struck
the key notes of the coming campaign,
regardless of the editorial opinion Of the
Globe-Democrat to the contrary. To
prove this | am in receipt of letters, pa
pers and pamphlets from the progressive
ex-Confederate element of the south
which show plainly that the leaven
of reason and not malicious idolatry
is working. l give below the following
extracts from letter written by Mr.. C..
L. Edwards. of Ennis, Texas. He is an
ex-Confederate private and has written
one of the best political tracts in the in
terests of protection that l have yet seen.
1t contains a brief and instructive re-
view of tariff legislation from the begin
ming of our government to the present
time in sixty-three pages of matter The
pamphlet was written by one OF the po-
litically obscure class III an ordinary ag-
ricultural town and in densely Demo-
cratic district of the state which holds
a champion banner for giving the largest
Democratic maiorities. Any man who
would disturb the natural development
Of this disintegration of southern Bour-
bonism by waving the bloody shirt
in Republican convention is unworthy
of his party. He Is worse, he
is fool either by misapprehension or
nature. Southern Democratic leaders
want nothing better to maintain party
and sectional solidity than To have these
QuiSottes charge their wind-mllls with
the bloody penants on their party lances.
Blu: the letter speaks for itself:
Are You not sorry you left the land
where the maledictions OF the aged and
grizZled high priests of the oid flre-God,
when leveled against poor devn VINO
dares to assert his manhood, are SIN
frightened with something OF their an
cient terrors: Are you not grieved that IN
this latter day irreverent nooodles shouid
rise up and question their royal night to
mislead the people: Having failed IN
the attempt to rule and ruin, the
country at large. are you wicked enough
TO hope that their sins, which are as
scarlet, may cease al some day 10 oe
visited upon our people:
Well, its rough route have chosen,
but we are going TO try this year TO res
cue this congressional district from the
domination of Bourbonism and free
trade. The odds are great, but We are

THE SCHEME EXPOSED.
ENSIGN, Gray Co., Kan, Feb.

ENSIGN, Gray Co., Kan, Feb. Is.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Eastern papers come to had daily con-
tanning reports of the destitute circum-
stances of the people of southwest
Kansas, especially Gray county. Allow
me to contradict these assertions, as far
as concerns southwest Gray. That
there are some needy ones will allow,
but the county is perfectly able to take
care of them. This scheme Is gotten up
to enrich those who are not in need, and
not for the INDECENT poor. 1t appears to
have been set on foot by men who IN
stead of attending to their farm and
other business went canvassing for
the county seat. thinking if they got it,
their lands would be so much
advanced in value as not to
necesSitate work on their part,
and now instead of buckling down to
work. they are trying to be kept at the
expense of ether hardworking people.
These individuals know full well that
their wants are not such as to attract the
attention of their home people,
so they intend making a raid
on the east. and canvass the
eastern cities in the name of the grang-
ers. This aid if procured, it is well
known. will never reach those who have
most need of it, but will be used by
these '.brOken down county seat schem-
ers."
Amongst those who signed for aid was
one who had 81 900 in hand at the time
of signing, and other cases OF nearly
like similitude. The canvassers went
round from house to house. soliciting
and persuading the farmers to put their
names down, much to the just indjgna-
ton of the resident farmers, who held
indignation meetings and framed reso-
lutions regulating the object OF this
scheme, but were, unfortunately, too
late, the report having been industri-
ousiy circulated in the east and full
preparations had been made TO carry out
their nefarious scheme of robblng others
to enrich themselves.
The most of these needy ones are stu
ate0 in the MonteZuma district. They
were very anxious to get the county
seat there and worked for that
end alone, leaving their farms to
take care of themselves, and now
find they have been leaning on a broken
reed. Does it look as if the county were
in need of aid when they are spending
thousands of dollars in trying to get the
county seat moved, instead of utilizing
these means for the benefit of those In
need; building churches and other build
ings which are not actually necessary:
Then the Rock Island railroad is coming
through the county, which will give en-
ploynent TO a large number of our
farmers. It stands to reason, and any
one who gives it any attention will see
through this very thin and transparent
scheme.
| don't want it to be thought that am
alone in these opinions, but am backed
by the majority Of the farmers of this
part of GRAY county. Several of those
who signed this paper signed under the
understanding that it was not going out

The Boston Advertiser concisely ex-
presses the strength that Blaine has in
the country when, in commenting on
his recent letter, 1t says: The field is
now open to any one who thinks he is
the second choice of the Republican
party" The field is no more open since
the publication of the Blaine letter than
it was before. for, notwithstanding Mr..
Blaine was and still is the choice of a
large majority of the Republican party,
the act of choosing a candidate is per-
formed by the party, and not by the can
didate, fact which, while it does not
debar any worthy man from aspiring to
party preferment, does not put anestop-
pei upon the party if it shall decide to
caH the Plumed Knight to its leadership.

Many of the leading Democratic papers

Many of the leading Democratic papers
of the country are becoming impatient
over the slowness of their political
friends at Washington in getting at the
surplus. BY way of jog. the New York
World of Tuesday reprinted Mr.. Cleve-
lands celebrated anti-protection essay in
full, literally italicising what it con-
siders the most striking and edifying
passages, and read congressman a sharp
lecture on their dilly -dallying and phi

effect of inducing Mr.. Mills of Texas,
and his fellow economist to hurry up a

we suggest that these secular events be

Notwithstanding the passage by the
senate of the Blair educational bill that
bill is still before congress and the cOun-
try, and while it is not probable that the
house will pass it, the estimate In which
it is held by leading educators and the
people generally throughout the country
makes it matter of concern until it
shall have been finally disposed of. The
New York Post has obtained expressions
from number of prominent gentlemen
on the subject. President Eliot of Har-
ward writes that the policy embodied in
the bill seems to him utterly vicious.
President Chamberlain of Winconsin
university does not believe in putting
bounty ON illiteracy, though he is in
favor Of government aid to the schools.
The venerable John B. Minor, law pro-
fessor in the University of Virginia,
earnestly desires the defeat of the bill as
not only dangerously unconstitutional
but dangerously demoralizing. The
school superintendent of Texas, Oscar ii.
Cooper, regards the bill as sure to i'm
pede rather than promote education, and
reports many Texas teachers outspoken
in disapproval of it, while nearly all the
rest are indifferent" School Superin-
tendent Seaver of Boston believes the
ultimate effect of the policy of the bill
would be "a paralysis Of local effort" AT
first he took the sentimental view of the
matter, but he now sees that it won't do.
In view of such unbiased opinions, which
reflects the sentiment of the country
generally, it is matter of surprise that
the senate should have passed the meas

commerce of the United States with the
Sandwich Islands in 1870 was 81 ,406. APO,
while the same year the whole amount
expended in foreign missions by all de-
nominations in this country was 81 ,653,
sol. The cost of the Sandwich Island
missions, says DIR. Anderson, up TO 1869
that is for fifty years, and during the
whole period of its dependence on the
the board-was $1.220.0O0. The profits
of our trade with the Sandwich Islands
for 1871 was $500, 964-more than half

In view of the large sums of money
used and the exertion of the influence of
the new postmaster general, Don NJ.
Dickinson, who is said to be the political
boss of that state, the election of Sey-
mour to succeed Moffatt. recently de-
ceased. from the Eleventh Michigan dis
trict, is very significant event Just at
this time. 1t may be said the influence
of the administration-money, patronage
and all-was brought to bear upon the
election with the hope of returning a
member of that party TO take the place
of the Republican who was last chosen
from the district, and the defeat was the
more signal in consequence.
