GEN. RICE FOR COLLECTOR.

General John II. Rice, editor of the Ft
Scott Monitor, who was IN the city yeSter-
day, will be an applicant to the incoming
administration for officer of collector of IL
ternal revenue for the district of Kansas.
General Rice has battled for Republican,
ism for twenty-three years. and at all
times has struck out square from the
shoulder for Republican principles. He IS
receiving great many cordial endorse
ments from prominent men IN all parts Of
the state Capital l-Commonwealth.
General Rice made 4 magnificent can
vas Of the entire state in the interest of
the Republican party, and his utterances
on the tariff question reached far beyond
the lines of the state. 1t is, therefore,
with pleasure that we note such endorse
ments as the above for they are deserved
as deserving is Of the Office with which
his name has been connected.

Ohio now ranks with Virginia as the
mother of Presidents. All the Chief
Magistrates elected by the Republicans
since Abraham Lincoln We're born IN
Ohio, including President-elect Harrison.
Among the many anomalies presented
by the result of the recent election none
present more striking features than are
displayed in New York state. Warner
Miller carried forty-seven of the sixty
counties of the state. and in those forty
seven counties had 79,401 majority over
Hill, and yet Hill had enough votes in
the remaining thirteen counties to be
elected.

Chairman Quay slipped off home one
night last week for a little rest, but the
Philadelphia interviewer was upon him
bright and early next morning. Precious
little the interviewer got for his pains,
however. All the chairman would say
about the next house of representatives
was that the Republicans have it by at
least five to nine majority, and all he
would say about the cabinet was that he
wasn't going to be in it and that General
Harrison impressed him as man who
would be likely to select his constitution
al advisers for himself.

November since the records of the state

Govenor-elect Hovey, of Indiana. saws
he is going 10 use very plain language in
his first communication TO the lecisla-
ture about the corrupt use of money in
politics. He spent q coed deal of money
himself in the recent campaign to in
fluence votes, he says. but not one cent
to buy one. He doesn't know of his own
knowledge that anybody bought votes.
but he has heard of such discraceful
doings on both sides. and he is ready 80
do his part toward making an end Of
them. The Democratic legislature can
not pass any bin on the subject too
stringent to suit him. He is for perpet-
ually disfranchising anyone caught in
vote-buying or vote-selling. and for pun
ishing a second offense of the sort with
imprisonment in the penitentiary into
the bergain. He is also in favor of leg
islation that shall make it physically I'M

A WIGWAM.

So many are the conventions called
70 this city, and SO numerously are they
attended that the board of trade yester-
day were discussing the proposition of a
great wigwam which would comfortably
seat thousands. No less than three con-
ventions have already been fixed to be
holden in this city within the next few
months, and yesterday the breeders as
sociation Of the state OF Kansas through
their representative notified the board Of
trade that their next annual meeting,
would occur in Wichita.

The EAGLE wants the capital OF Kansas
moved to Wichita. AS Wichita is rbe
largest city, in the richest and best coun-
~ in the state, this would be the proper
thing. And the location would be as cen
tral as in Topeka IF the capital is to be
moved at all it should come to Wichita or
Nintield.-Winfield Courier.
The same objection, that of geograph-
ical location, applies to our enterprising
ueighbor to the south that constitutes the
chief argument in favor OF its removal
from Its present location. otherwise the
EAGLE would perhaps favor it. As to
Wichita it is content III the endowment
of the greater distinction of being the
commercial and manufacturing merop-
oils of the central state of the union.

An Obituary Of a Friend.

E F. Ware IN Fort Scott Monitor
If he had any special religious beliefs
he did not allude to them, but if ques-
toned he would probably have said that
he would be saved through the efficacy
of the American flag, in which ne firmly
believed. Rest quietly in peace, O.
Doctor. The falling leaves upon your
new made grave bode you no evil. The
flag you loved so well has yet nine hun
dred years TO wave, and in such stretch
Of time it may yet even gather on its
field the stars OF heaven. Rest in your
quiet grave, On, friend. There are none
who bear you malice. You need no
marble. We all hope to see You later.

The Democrats of Texas, will never
cease regarding Atty General Hogg, as
true benefactor of their party. The
election is over, the Republicans have
won; the Democrats have lost; and now
the Grand Old Roman comes gallantIy to

wheel of Republican success by way of
TOPPING the collection of bets made on

The shoe industry has already come
west to a considerable extent. st. Louis
today is rated as the second shoe manu-
featuring point in the United States and
as a market is said to be second to none.
In this connection the EAGLE is pleased
to assure its contemporary above quoted
that the shoe industry has found a sue

that VIII in a few short years make this

kept constantly by the inquiries snd

Evidently the young emperor's ambi-

in that direction. there is little doubt
that occasion will be found before he
passes the meridian of life to test his
prowess upon the field. He seems not

The Wichita EAGLE has made the dis
covery that the prairie counties of Nilsson
n are Republican while the wooded c0un-
ties are Democratic. The discovery was
made in ! huois many years ago, that the
prairies We're apt to 20 Republican while
the "breaks" along the creeks rolled up
Democratic majoriJies. The general rule
has many exceptions in Missouri. Decid-
cd Republican maiorities were given in
some OF the wooden counties along the
Arkansas line.-Newton Republican
The Wichita EAGLE simply submitted
the proposition, in a general way, that
the prairies gave promise of a distinct
civilization, one of higher and keener
life, life more sensitive and responsive
in enterprise if not in ideality, which we
wound up by citing the bottoms and
prairies Of Illinois and Missouri. 1t was
not a discovery, not even new with US.
FOR in unity to the future civilization of
the Arkansas Valley 4 dozen years ago
the activity and energy of a life developed
and sustained by wide open prairies. was
alluded to in like manner.

The question of sugar making has
grown to such an extent in some locaIi-
ties as to become almost a mania We
see in some Of our country exchanges
the proposition being discussed to pro-
cure the passage by the legislature Of an
act to authorize townships to vote bonds
to build sugar plants and otherwise en-
courage the sugar making industry. We
don't know how it may strike the legis-
lature. but it strikes us as an unwise,
impracticabie undertaking. The sugar
question is an important one and the in
dustry IS unquestionably destined to de-
velop into leading one in this state,
and we have little doubt that ample cap
ltal will be found to put in and operate
sugar plants wherever they are required
and can be run at profit.
