A S EEMING,

1t seems TO US that Wichita is supplant-
ing Topeka in the number of conventions
held there. The latest on the string is the
bankers convention to be held May =
Atcbison Patriot.
Wichita is great when it comes to
plants, but to this sup-planting business
she makes no claims. We have, how
ever, the bankers on Monday and the
Arabic order of the Mystic Shrine Of
Isis, the Knights Templar of the state on
Tuesday and the state convention and
the editorial association of northwest
Kansas on Wednesday and Thursday
There may be some other big occasions
of minor importance set for next week
which we have overlooked. This week
we have had the state Homeopathic So
clety and the annual convocation of the
Loyal Legion of Kansas. AS we gener-
ally manage to render all these people
happy while here, sending them home
happy, they may continue to come.

THE FARMERS TRUST.

The policy or impolicy of the move
ment set on foot this week by the farm
ers' convention i'll Topeka may be sub
jects of adverse criticism by those who
see IN 1t the counterpart of the grange of
few years ago, III that the new organi-
cation proposes ito regulate the prices of
produce and Stocks" but in view of the
disclosures made by the congressional
investigation into the operations of the
coterie of cattle kings in Chicago in the
matter of arbitrarily controlling the
price of live stock, no unbiased person
can censure the producers for devising
some means if possible to save them
selves from ruin. The expose made by
Senator Plumb, in his speech in the SEN
ate Thursday, of the methods employed
by the Chicago combine for manipulate
ing the live stock market there. is of
itself sufficient to warrant the farmers
and stock raisers of the west to resort to
almost any means of self protection. If
we understand the matter this is the
only class of middle men" the farmers
object to. If the difference between the
high price the consumer has to pay for
meats and the low price the producer is
forced to take for his cattle and hogs.
after paying the cost of handling and
fair profit TO the handler-the middle
man-were given to the producer: or if it
were divided between him and the con-
sumner, giving the former better price
for his stock, and the latter cheaper
meats, everybody would be satisfied. and
there would, in all probability, not only
not be any such movements among the
farmers as that inaugurated at Topeka,
but no talk of any such thing.
The EAGLE does not pose as the special
champion of the farming and stock rails
ing community; it is not necessary. they
are able TO take care of themselves. but |
1t does stand for fair play, especially in |
matters in which the public are inter |
ested in. as in this.

THE LATEST CRANK,

When a man turns crank his hallucina-
ton is tolerably apt to take some form
that will add to his importance in his
own eyes, and put the rest of mankind
at a corresponding disadvantage This
is only carrying out human nature,
which is for the most part ambitious and
self-conceited, and also much inclined to
self-righteousness.
Instances are not wanting where mon
omaniacs have, in their own disordered
imagination, identified themselves with
Deity, and, of course, in that case, the
whole of Adams race is sure to be
brought up fer judgment with a round
turn. The usual and proper thing, how
ever, is for the crank to set up as
prophet and demolish his depraved and
abandoned fellow creatures at second
hand.
Of this description is the Rev. Prof.
E. James, of Des Moines, Ia, who an
nounced in printed circular with star
ing headlines that there is going to be
trouble of a decidedly blood-curdling ma
ture in the immediate future. Every
body is advised to flee from the wrath to
come, but as the whole world is to be
put to the sword and turned over. it is
hard to say where the reverend pro-
fessor expects them to fly to.
The only difference between Mr.. James
and the usual style of prophet cranks is
that he is less picturesque and rather
more ridiculous than the common run.

NOBLE PRENr1s, CANDIDACY.

The candidacy Of Noble Prentis for the
position of secretary of state is somewhat
unique and unusual in that it is not
backed by the politicians of his party
nor because of political personal services,
but is based wholly upon his services to
the state at large and to the Republican
party in the aggregate. Nor is he can
didate of any particular section, tier or
corner of the state, He has lived at
Topeka, Lawrence, ~Atchison, Junction
City and Newton, and has worked Just
as earnestly for the good of the whole
state and the Republican party at large
at one point as another. In truth, Noble
Prentis belongs to no individual politi
tician, to no ring and to no corporation,
but to the state at large and to the entire
party. Honest and capable,
too, he has always proved, and capably
and satisfactorily would he fill the
position: to which he aspires. He went
over to England once and his talk was
bin 1.-The Kansan" on the vessel. He
wrote book Of his trip emitting it
g Kansan Abroad" and Kansas runs all
through its pages. When he returned
he went from town to town and told the
people what he saw and learned and
what Kansas had to do to reach and reap
the advantages of higher civilization.
In short Prentis is Kansan all over,
through and through, intensely and
Loyalty so, believing in Kansas ana Kan
5as people as few of her sons feel and
believe, and however capable and de-
serving the other candidates may be, the
party-the people of Kansas,
would never regret the act should they
honor him with the only public position
in the state that he has ever asked for.

INGALLS, ON VOORHEES,,

Mr.. ingalls,. invited by Voorhees, at
tack upon himself to assume that Voor-
hees was one of the noted Union leaders
during the war, looked into his military
record and unearthed the famous speech
of Mr.. Voorhees,, delivered, or reported
to have been delivered, at Green Castle,
Ind, in 1864, and printed in the Cincin-
natl Commercial OF the date Of August 8.
1864. In that speech Abraham Lincoln
was called by the most infamous names.
No Union soldier can read that speech to
this day without having his blood boil.
Mr.. Voorhees, simply denies that the
speech was bis. OF this denial the last
has not been heard. 1t happens that the
speech was reported by Dir. Joseph 3.
and manager of the st. Louis Globe
of the most experienced stenogrophers
in the United States, and at that time
was constantly engaged IN making YER
batim reports of speeches. Accuracy in
every statement that he makes and in
all the professional work that he does is
the pride and boast Of Mr.. McCullagh.
He has always insisted that this particu-
lar speech attributed to Mr. voorhees,

and Of course does not permit the ques-
ton TO be raised that the speech is for
gerry. The Cincinnati Commercial
vouched for the accuracy Of the report
and for the authenticity of the speech. !
This matter is something more than a 1
question of veracity between Mr.. McCul- /

The ministers of Chicago are devoting
themselves again to the matter of Sun
day observance in that city. In an adj
dress by DR.. Strong, delivered before "a
large audience in Farwell hall, the
speaker took the position that 1.-THE state
had as much right to enforce the quiet
observance of the Sabbath as to enact
laws for the compulsory education of
the youth" The position is not only
logical, but to our mind unanswerable.
1t is position that cannot be success
fully assailed from any standpoint,
while Sabbath Observance is demanded
by every consideration known and that
can be employed for the betterment of
humanity.

The experience of the passengers on
the good ship Columbia, which vessel
brought Slugger Sullivan back to this
country short time ago, must have
been thrilling to degree. 1t is stated
that Sullivan was on a drunken ram
page all the way over, causing a scene
of terror on board the ship more easily
imagined than described. The Chicago
Herald compares it to the awful horror
caused on board the man-o'-war so WV
idly described by Victor Hugo, when an
eighty-ton gun burst from its fastenings
during a terrific storm, and plunged
madly about the deck, crushing down
the crew and battering down the sides
of the vessel.

as to make it lighter on themselves than
upon aliens coming to our shores with
their wares and merchandise-the pro-

a valued exchange exhausts itself, so

which it inveighs strenuously against
the almost universal slang whangery of
the present day. From standpoint Of
good English, to say nothing of good
manners and true civility, our contem-
porary's augmentation is unanswerable;
but when enthusiasm or natural impetu-
osity leads 10 the commission of unfortu-
nate indiscretions with more or less SER
ious consequences, it is hard to see how
the slang phrase ''slop over could be
dispensed with. The man who fails to
catch on is familiar figure not easily
characterized in standard English, and
the same is true of the unfortunate indi-
vidual who closes his grip" So you see
