that claims that all the honest Prohibi-
tionists and all the best and wisest men
belong TO it. If so, God have mercy on
them and US. If am ignorant / know
enough TO tell the truth and nail these
false statements to the Third Party
To show the utter recklessness of Third
Party papers we have only to look at
their statements in reference to the
amount of beer sent to Chicago during
the Republican convention, and the
statement Is made in a way to create an
impression that all that beer was sent
there for the delegates and was consumed
by them, and those who visited the con-
vention, viz. 81, 500 barrels, or 6, 200. 900
quarts. This would be 1854 quarts to
every delegate in that convention. or if it
was intended for the 100000 visitors in
GLIDING the delegates, then there would
have been ninety quarts to every man.
This lie is SO glaring that no sensible man
can believe it. Then it is well known
that Chicago makes millions of gallons
of beer
Then the Inter-Ocean stliffs Neal Dow s
falsehood down his throat: viz. that
there was more drunkenness at that con-
vention than ever seen at any other con-
vention in Chicago. The Inter-Ocean
quotes the reports of the police courts,
stating that there was less drunkenness
and fewer arrests than ever known in
Chicago, when SO large a body of men
were together.
Then the Leader adds that the crowd
swallowed this beer and wiped its mouth
and passed that temperance what is it,
The Leader is either ignorant, or fool.

nothing is too unreasonable for Third
Party men to say or do.

WICHITA, KAN.

To the Editor Of the Post.
l have but recently been in the new
metropolis of the southwest and most
rapidly growing city Of the time, which
is SO highly spoken of by Prof. Hay, U.
S. G. s., in his article on 1.-The Central
State" refer to Wichita, which vies
with Washington in regard to allitera-
tive designations. 1t is the Magical
Mascot Of the Meridian" ''The Proud
Project of the Prairie, ''The- Peerless
Princess of the Plains, ''The Winning
Wonder of the West,'' 1.-The Queen
City, The Forest City," ''The Metrop-
oils" ETC., etc. The city, 1 believe,
claims the most rapid growth of any
prairie town, as in six years the popula-
ton has increased from five to forty
thousand, and all this increase is due to
the rapid settling up of the agricultural
land in the state. The sons of Speaker
Carlisle are residents there, as is also the
son of Judge Douglass and others of this
city. Congress has. l believe, recog-
nized the wonderful growth of the town
by doubling the appropriation for gov
eminent building there.

THAT FORAKER LIE.
NEWTON, Kan, Aug. 4.
o the Editor OF the EAGLE.

To the Editor OF the EAGLE
HUTCHINSON, Kan, July 80, 1888.
Under the above caption the Leader
of July 10Th inst, refers to correspond
ence between Gov. Foraker and myself
in reference to certain statements that
should have been made during the last
state campaign in Ohio. Third Party
cranks have been circulating that false
hood, and to satisfy myself wrote Gov.
Foraker. And during the prohibition
convention at this place their speakers
reiterated that statement. l then pub
ished our correspondence, in which
Gov. Foraker SAYS emphatically he did
not say what these villifers of the char
acters of our ablest and best men at
tribute to him. Gov. FOrakers word
has more weight than hundred Leaders
who are paid for blackening the political
character of our ablest and purest men.
What the Leader says of Foraker is just
as false as the other What he says of
Ben Harrison is also false. And if these
statements were true neither Foraker nor
Harrison are authorized TO speak for the
Republican party outside of Its platform.
But they are not true. These state
mentS are of the same rotten stuff that
some other prohibition prevarlcations
are, such as the statement that the
Democratic party has done more
for prohibition than the Republican
party has done. and when the proof is
demanded of them they reply with an
old list of the non-lartlsan actions of
Wings and Democrats, and Republicans
and Democrats that was taken from
Greely's almanac, which refers only to
the non partisan actions of the old poll
ticians, which was never demanded or
endorsed by any Democratic platform,
and was, therefore, not the acton Of
that party. Then again, prohibition
papers and speakers assert that Bob In
gersoll said in the Chicago convention
that he hated God but loved Gresham.
Mr. Ingersoll never said anything of the
kind, even in his intidel lectures or po-
litical speeches. Again they made the
statement here in their convention that
the prayer of the chaplain IN the Chicago
convention was submitted 70 commit
tee and revised before that preacher was
allowed 10 offer il. Both of these state
ments are 50 silly ard unreasonable that
common sense revolts at the very state
ment Of them These are only q few OF
the glaring. unsupported and untrue
statements being circulated oy party

the effects of high temperature upon
different organizations. The nervous,
sensitive, egOtistic man, when the Their
mOmeter ranges among the nineties, is
chiefly intent upon publishing his dis.
comfort. Instead of sitting still and
cooling his mind through work or genial
diversion, he moves busily about, telling
everybody how hot it is, with gestures
and CALCULATIONS to match. He is a
mental radiator, bent upon transmitting
his own conditions to other minds, and,
without intending it, is generating his
own discomfortS within others.
| On the other hand, the man of even
temperament, of cool mind, avoid all
mention of physical and thermal condi-
tons on hot day. His purpose is to
get his mind as far away from them as
possible. He hears his nervous friend
fling down his pen or spade and declare
that it is too hot for work. To him con-
genial work is the very best means of
keeping his attention away from physi-
cal discomfort. One feels comparatively
cool in this mans presence. He is a
partial refrigerator and transmits his
own conditions.
The mere physical temperament of a
man on hot day is not the measure of
discomfort. In this busy season humid
reds of New England farmers toll in
open fields in the hot sun in such ex-
cesslve perspiratiOn that hardly dry
thread is found on them during the day.
But if one is accosted on the roadside
and reminded that it is a terrible hot
day, he will generally reply with
true Yankee drollery that it is
splendid weather for corn.
The farmers mind is on the
hay and corn crops instead of the heat.
His mind is kept cool by congenial labor
and the promise of good crops.
What is true of man is true of beasts.
One of the most painful sights to per-
son of kind heart is to see the distress of
horses that pull the street cars on a
scOrtbing day. These animals receive
the best care and treatment by the COM
panies, and their muscular strength is
concerned. A horse doing the same
work on a country road would not per-
spire much. 1t is the tremendous strain
upon their nerves caused by constant
fear of losing their feet on the smooth
pavement when starting the car that
chiefly induces their sweat and semi
torture. Even with horse it is the con-
dition of the mind that largely decides
Its power to endure heat and work.
