THE CHINESE QUESTION.


Then Mr.. Flattery, of Massachusetts,,
offered resolution declaring that in SYM
pathy with the spirit of freedom the
world over, the Convention of Demo
cratic Clubs protests sgsinst tyranny and
oppression wherever they exist, and de-
cisring further that it is in favor of
the success of the Irish fight for
Home Rule in Ireland. The resolution
was adopted amid applause and cheers,
The Committee on Resolutions was then
called upon and the Chairman reported
that the majority did not think it expe-
dent to report on the Chinese resolution
of the st. Louis platform. 1t was further
stated that there was minority report
upon the Chinese question.
Ex-Representative Wilson, Of Kentucky,
q member Of the Committee on Resolutions
and the gentleman who had offered the
Chinese resolution, stated that the differ
ence in the committee was only one of pro-
priety, and that there was really no mi.
nority report. The committee had been
unanimous in opposition to Chinese i'm
migration, bat the committee had not
thought it prudent to enter into an
issue which had properly been met
by the st. Louis Convention. Unwilling
TO do anything to mar the harmony Of
the convention he refrained from submit
ting minority report and moved the sdop-
tion of the majority report. This was
agreed to.
On motion Of Mr.. Schley, of Wisconsin,
il was ordered that the officers Of the or
ganization be . committee TO call upon
President Cleveland and Mr.. Thurman to
extend to them the congratulations of this
convention, to inform them of its doings
and to pledge to them its hearty support
in the impending campaign.

VERY BIG OATS.

Reference was made few days since
by the EAGLE to the excellent condition
of crops in several counties of the lower
Arkansas valley, especially of oats,
wheat and potatoes. The oat acreage
exceeds by far that of any year since the
settlement of the country, while its con-
dition and promise has seldom been
equalled. Mr.. Frank Wilson brings to
our Office from the farm of [. n. Free
man. five miles east of Mulvane, bunch
Of oats from a large field which stands
plump five feet high, with heads from
ten to fifteen inches in length, and the
grain very plump, large and heavy.
The oats are fully matured, and will be
ready for the reaper within ten days.
Wichita eagle., 1888-06-17

If the civil service commission were
actuated by sincere desire to advance
the interest for which the position they
occupy was especially created, they
would proceed without delay to summon
the two hundred federal Office holders
who attended the st. Louis convention
and require them to show cause why
they should not be removed for openly
violating the law and disregarding the
presidents order forbidding them to par
ticipate in convention proceedings and
other party political manipulations. The
fact that one of the commissioners was
among the offenders should not deter
them from discharging their duty, but it
is not expected that anything will be
done.

A NEW QUESTION IN CITIZEN SHIP

The arrest in Italy Of man born and
raised in this country, on the ground
that he is subject to military duty there,
suggests fine question of international
law and usage. The mans father was
an Italian, but he himself was born in
Baltimore, and after he became of age,
he registered there and exercised the
right of suffrage, the same as any other
citizen would do. But the Italian
authorities claim that this was not suffi-
scient TO give him citizenship in the
United States, and that it would
be necessary for him 10 be-
come regularly naturalized before
his rights as an American would
be respected. He holds that after being
born in this country and upon reaching
the age of 81 he had elected to become
an American citizen and signifed his in
tention by voting and exercising other
rights Of citizenship, that, therefore, he
is to be recognized as a citizen without
further formality. The issue raised is
one of great interest from the effect it
will have upon similar cases. An appeal
has been made to the state department at
Washington TO intervene and secure the
release of the gentleman, who was ar
rested while detained in Italy on a busi-
ness trip.

WOMAN IN OFFICE.

Written for the Eagle
The women are clamoring day by day,
| For the men to give them right"
| That the women are slaves I'll not gain
say,
| And the shackles will pinch till the flesh
decay,
And the soul succumb to blight.
That women are slaves III not gainsay,
But not the slave to man;
She giveth not her thoughtful sway
Till sure that fashion leans that way,
Woman's the slave of woman.
Behold her sister on the rack,
What right had she to err?
Instead of the words that bring souls back
She hurls the scorh that virtue lack
And washes her hands of her.
As moths viii hover around the fire,
Despite the world is wide,
The woman leader must aspire
To trail her name through filthy mire
And pose as public guide.
If woman as leader had been Gods plan
He had likely made her first.
But the rib was extracted-her life began,
Straightway she assumed to lead the man,
Twas not that the woman longed for sin,
But her Judgment lay at fault;
Had she seen the misery trailing in
Or guessed the penalty of sin,
The earth would need no vault.
Corruption lies as the canker worm
Close TO the government heart,
Thy touch will only make it squirn,
Thou wilt not kill-but carry the germ,
To the home that lies apart.
Woman in office-angels in hell
With grace thy power hath fed,
How many campaigns ere the snirch will
How many campaigns thou'rt hardend
well,
And modesty lies dead.
If thou wouldst purge the nations wrong;
Look to her sons today;
Teach them the things that will make
them strong
In loving the right, and hating the wrong;
Thy power can mold such clay.
Thou hast no need the gavel to hold,
Thy want hath lighter cost,
Thy power is gentle, but sure, not bold
When he knew that Eve was lost.
Woman the slave of mani do l hear?
Oh, how very absurd
There ne'er was day that he held her as
dear;
Placed her above him to honor, and revere,
Or her voice so quickly heard
If woman succeed in getting ''free,"
And Anna Jenness shall win,
What ''hurly Blew of a mix twill be
In the race for Office chivalry;
Is o thing that might have been."
The Dean was right with his plea,
That the women have not been great.
Where is your Virgil, Raphael, Socrates
Where your Franklin, Milton, and Voor-
hees?
Learning is never too late.
The only inven tion woman's made,
Was out of her sorest need,
When pins were wanted without mans
aid.

iov. A. P. Riddle takes fairer look at

Gov. A. P. Riddle takes fairer look at
things than good many editors. Hesays
in the Minneapolis Messenger: ''Those
good souls who are worrying over the dan
ger Of Prof. Canield's free trade ideas in
the university, are giving themselves need
less alarm. OF the ~ members of the grad
uating class this year. only three are free
traders. Lawrence Journal.
Which is an admission that the charge
against Garfield is true, and also that his
teachings are not without influence. The
admission that there are three free trade
graduates is equal to General Bradford's 5
declaration that he could find but ten
joints in Atchison. The question is why
should there be one of either-free trade
graduate at the university, or joint in
Atchison? To our mind it shows a neg
lect of duty on the part of somebody.

THE NEW EMPEROR.

The blood Of Queen Victoria and the
Guelphs is now upon the throne of the
German empire. While Germany is the
breeding nest of anarchy a very large
per cent of her people believe in, and
hoped with Kaiser William the First,
for a great future, tranquil and exalt-
ed future for the German people. Had
his son Frederick lived undoubtedly all
this would hav9 been realized, but the
hot headed, miniature man of rakish
propensities, who now ascends the
throne, may hang anarchists by the
score, and no doubt he will, but he will
hardly give his people anything better.

a LESSON IN CIVILIZATION

The spectacle of Indian soldiers put on
guard by the government to restrain
lawless white men in Indian Territory,
is significant. 1t SIS long step forward
for the red man from the condition of
uncivilized warfare to the police position
in which he is now placed. Who would
have supposed twenty-five years ago that
the untutored savage would one day be
dressed in United States uniform and be
put on guard duty? But the cattlemen
of Indian Territory choose to disobey the
law, and the government calls out in its
defense the Indians who few years ago
were the untamed and unterrified foes of
society. 1t is suggested that civilization
is making progress in some directions,
even if it seems to be losing in others.
1t is sad commentary on the white race.
however, that the government should
have to cali out Indian troops to keep
civilized men from breaking or disregard
ing the law.

A GREAT PAPER,

Look this mornings EAGLE carefully
over and see if it lacks ought of being
an ideal daily paper. A fine picture will
be found on the first page of the great
building in which the next president of
the United States is to be nominated this
week. Then there is another page of the
pictures of some Of the great Republicans
of the past and present, including its
first presidential candidate. There also
will be found a full report of the sporting
world. Besides these and the editorial
page and local columns and the columns
that came over the wire last night, there
will be found at least eight other pages of
selected and illustrated matter covering
every conceivable subject almo That
the Wichita Daily EAGLE is great
paper this morning we believe every
reader will agree.

In his letter of acceptance four years
ago Mr.. Cleveland declared himself
term. The unwritten law precludes the
necessity for any reference to third
against the policy of a second presidential
term in his Forthcoming letter-accept-
ing that which he declined, even before
he knew he knew he would receive it
the first time, but there is nothing to
prevent him from advocating the extern
sion of the presidential term to six years,
and this we predict he will do, in view of
the conviction which seems to inspire
BIN that he is a man of destiny and,
consequently, will succeed himself. Look
out for his letter.

There is no question but that Mr.. Thur
man was put upon the Democratic ticket
to draw to its support the mossback ele-
ment who had grown restive, garulous
at Cleveland's domination Of the party.
An inviting spectacle to the younger
element in the party, indeed. Ambitious
young Democrats will no doubt be al
most crazed with delight at the prospect
OF possible preferment if they shall
live and serve the party three score
years.
