WHEN OKLAHOMA OPENS.

Anthony Republican.
If Oklahoma opens in January, as is
now claimed will be the case by the
friends of the movement, one of the
greatest rushes of immigration will oc-
cur ever known in the phenomenal west.
The people Of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
will rise up enmasse and start west.
Dakota and Montana, the great blizzard
states, will be nearly depopulated by
those eager to seek a more congenial
cline. The stampede will be as great as
| the wonderful Leadville excitement, and
train after train crowded to inconveni-
ence will daily roll across the line
into the Indian territory SO long held
sacred from the settlement Of the pio-
neer. The railroads already crossing
the line will be pushed beyond their ca
pacity and other railroads hundreds of
miles away from the border will hur-
riedly build down into the Indian coun-
try. Most of the crowd will have
dropped everything in the race to be the
first on the ground, and Kansas will
have to outfit them in taking their new
homes. Before the ground can be tanned
to raise good crops Kansas viii for years
have to supply nearly every article of
farm product. What effect the opening
of Oklahoma Will have upon Kansas will
be hard to tell. Many claim thai the
settling of the territory will make Kan
saS rich the same as the settling of
Kansas made Missouri rich. Again, as
Kansas is the central state of the union,
the blockade to commerce of her
southern border has certainly cir
cumscribed interstate traffic which
flows SO freely across the state in every
direction except from the south. The
same cause has kept from settlement
and cultivation large area in northern
Texas. The throwing open Of the terri
tory must restore the now inlpeded cir
culation of business life and Kansas will
assume her real place as the business cent
er of the union as she now is its actnal
center. Kansas may lose some popula-
ton in the first rush. but will it not be
beneficial in the long run? Many resi-
dents of Kansas have for years been
working half-hartedly in Kansas await
ing the opening of the territory. The
opening of Oklahoma Will be sure to
draw off all those who haye been
working at cross-purposes, those
who have become discouraged and
those who have sinned away their
day of grace. Their places will be fill
ed and the ranks recruited far beyond
the present strength by men from other
states, who viii not be satisfied upon
their inspection of the territory, and who
as they cross Kansas will fall in love
with her happy homes and well tested |
and fertile prairies, and the evidences of |
thrift and civilization everywhere shown.
These will make better citizens tor Kan
saS than those she NAV lose
The opening will never depress Kansas |
real estate any more than the putting III
to cultivation of a vacant quarter, bor-
dering upon well improved farm, sur
rounded on every side by improved farms. |
depress the value of that farm. The same |
way, the increase in value in Oklahoma
lands will make those of Kansas all the |
more valuable.

Where the Day Regins-ImaSinary Line
$50 Dogs. West Of Greenwich.
Is there any imaginary line on the earth in
any particular place where the days changer
In travelling around the world from east to
west day is lost, for the same reason that
if one could go around the world in twenty
four hours in the same direction, he would
retain the same relative position to the sun;
he would travel with the sun, as it WERE and
there would be no succession of day and
night. So, in travelling more leisurely west
ward, a certain amount of time is added to
each day, which in making the circuit of the
earth, would amount to an entire day. In
order, therefore, 70 adjust his reckoning to
the calendar of the place which he left, he
must at some point in his journey pass over
one day Of that calendar. as if be had
not lived the whole time, by lengthen-
ing every day in his journey. Navi-
gators have agreed to make the
change in the 180th degree east or west Of
Greenwich. When they reach this meridian,
sailing westward, they drop a day; when
they reach it sailing eastward, they repeat
day. There is no other point or line on the
worlds surface so favorable for making the
change in reckoning, for dropping or adding
day, as that which has been taken by navi-
gators, the prime meridian, $50 dogs. This
line falls in the Pacific ocean, where there
are no inhabitants to be affected by the
change, except on the scattered islands

THAT FOOL LEGISLATURE.

Many were the threats Of political re-
membrance that we received when the
EAGLE denounced the last general as
sembly of this state as the ''fool legisla-
ture." linen were going to live to vindi-
cate," and it was composed of such men
as would control Kansas for years, and
the editor of the EAGLE would be made
to regret, etc. One campaign has come
and gone and in looking over its results
it looks very much as though the people
of Kansas were of one mind with the
EAGLE. The roll of the new senate and
house shows over hundred new names
in Kansas legislation and but half
dozen or so OF all the hundred and fifty
who comprised the ''fool legislature. )"
The next legislature of Kansas will not
be dominated by outside cranks through
inside demagogues. The cranks played
themselves out through the Third party
move and the people left the other fell
lows at home. One-half of the next leg
islature will not be run by button-hole
bouquets while the other half run to dis
places. At least it will be
deal and new lot, with a chance for the
and Ievel-headed elements
of the state to be heard and their will
reSnected

LACKS GENIUS AND REsPoNT1vlTY

Marsh Murdock's latest poetical effu.
sion is a malarious monologue with the
suggestive cornice :'At Last, Alas" 1t
exemplifies, in a startling manner, the
sympathetic relation which exists between
the liver and the imagination.-kan
City Star.
To some people "the music of spheres
holds no comparison to that of a band
wagon. To such the most distinctive
''voice of nature" is the squalk of a
goose. Poetry, to them, in the absence
of standard measures, and rhymes is a
meaningless jargon; and, language,
without grammar and dictionary, an
impossibility. Sentiment, imagery and
the sympathetic movement of words are
but Hudribrastic doggerel or ''prose run
mad There are few, only few, only
a very few, people who, POLITICALLY speak
ing, fail to appreciate our lovely lines,
and we are glad to say that Alex Butts
is one of them.

dered the party. They seem to forget
that he won success for the party in one
of the congressional districts in Chicago
and held it for two terms, some years
ago, and subsequently obtained control
of the government of that city, which
he run in the interest of his party, and
only gave that up to serve the party of
the state as its candidate for governor,
the managers relying upon his uniform
good luck to win the state four years
ago. We have no sort of defense for
this man: he is simply a demagogical
Democratic politician, a character for
whom but little defense could be set up;
but vicious attacks from his confeder-
ates, who are in no wise better than he,
simply because he has the courage to
speak his mind is-reprehensible to say
the least.

How West Virginia went in the recent
election is as much mystery now as it
was the next day after the election, that
is as far as the full returns from the
state are concerned, and it is a mystery
to good many people why this should
be SO. Several reasons may be assigned,
but the principal one may be found in
the fact that the election machinery of
the state is in the hands of the Demo-
Gratis, and they are the party of the first
part in interest. The same state of case
exists in New York city and the city of
Brooklyn. The very first news from
the national election was from those
cities; how they had gone for president
was known before the result of the cleo
ton in this city was, save in a general
way, and yet the full official returns
have not been made in either of those
cities up to the present time. Queer
things are election returns when they
are manipulated by Democratic partisan
officials

A MENDACIoUs FRAUD.

Galloway's circular has already dam.
aged Kansas more than all the drouths
and grasshopper raids of the past com.
bined. For the state it is like many OF
the lies circulated about Wichita; they
hurt, notwithstanding they are lies. We
see that the papers of other states. ac-
cepting the circular as a semi-official
document, are showing that, according
to her own figures Kansas is hopelessly
swamped, the interest on her debt alone
being far more than the entire products
of the state, therefore there can be only
failure and ruin in the near future The
Democratic party of Kansas, in whose
name this infamous circular was issued,
have never either repudiated it or de-
nounced its author. Until this is done
the state must hold that party RESPONSE
BILE for ali the hurt this mendacious fraud
has brought upon the state.

the hating members of the party back
into line and does away with that twin
relic OF mugwumpism-scrat
There can be but one reason given for
the fact that one-half of the offices of
this county are filled by Democrats. and
that is that personal campaigns have
heretofore been waged, and they have
carried with them the engendered bitter
ness of months and years.
This year the young Republicans were
recognized in the convention. The iron
rules of antiquated Republicanism and
! secret ballot were greatly changed and
modified by the admixture Of new flesh
and blood. The former body polite,
moss-backed as it was by fifteen years of
accumulated political prejudice, peevish-
ness and blasted aspirations, ready to
knife the individual aspirant as soon as
his back was turned, found that with
new life coursing through Its veins old
anlmosities took the wings Of the morn
ing and flew away, and those who had
been political enemies for years hung on
each others necks IN convention assem-
bled and wept aloud over their political
foOlishness.
This is not said in criticism of men but
OF method. The old methods of cam
paigning must largely be relegated to
innocuous desuetude. They are largely
thing of the past, like the buffalo and
coyote. Our city in its population and
our county in its broad acres are metro
politan, and following in the wake of
our city we must adapt ourselves to the
changed situation and act accordingly.
We question whether there be another
city in the United States of the size of
Wichita which had as many young Re-
publicans who were so we'll qualified to
discuss the great political issues in
VOWED in this campaign as were the
young Republicans OF this city.
than to any other one cause must we
attribute the brilliant success achieved.
Some OF our neighboring counties,
strongly Republican, conducted their
campaign in the old way and the result
is that part Of the Democratic candidates
were elected, and all done to vent the
spleen of some soured political aspirant.
When men are fairly nominated in
convention that should settle it for the
party. There may be mistakes made
but they will be less injurious as rule
than the ill-feeling engendered and per-
sonal animosities created by fighting
regular nominees. The Young Republi-
cans of Sedgwick county, to man
frowned down on the usual campaign
mudslinging and putrid abuse which
has marked local campaigns heretofore.
They fought the battle for patriotism
and protection, and right royalty have
they triumphed. To them be need and
praise. OBSERVER.
