OUR LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Sedgwick county will go into the next
legislature with delegation for whom
there will be no danger of anybody be-
ing called upon to apologize. The great
est CITY and richest county in the state
with all their interests, material and po-
litical. will be closely looked after and
cared for in both branches. Nobody
who knows o. Fl. Bentley, or who has
observed his standing in the courts and
his successes as business man will want
any guaranty that he will not fail in
holding up his end of the row, though
the senate was composed of forty Of the
most able and most experienced poll
ticians in the state. In truth, Bentley
ever appears at the greatest advantage
when crowded and pressed the hardest.
The senator from Sedgwlck will not
only not fail to make his membership
felt, but will soon convince that body
that no scheme Or job can be so deeply
buried in technical rubbish as to escape
his acuteness. After the first winter at
Topeka OH. Bentleys reputation will not

energy is prodlgious and his industry I'M
firing.
Geo. L. Douglass, who will represent
three wards of this city comprising the
Send district, will prove of particular
value to his people because of his expe-
rience. He is not only a lawyer, but
his life at Washington City while So
hcitor and official of the interior depart
ment equips him splendidly for the role
of representative and legislator. Be-
sides these facts he is not only young
and energetic and ambitious to make
name by acceptably serving and conspic-
uously filling the honorable position to
which his party has nominated him, but
he is more than an ordinarily effective
speaker. He quickly and successfully
impresses his own thoughts and conclu-
sions upon others, which is a qualifica-
ton in a legislative representative hard
to overvalue, Douglass is all right.
As to E. w. Phillips of the S3rd and
II. c.. Boyle of the S4th district, both Of
these gentlemen We're, in a sense, to
the manor born. They have been with
and of the people of Sedgwick county
ever since Sedgwick county was any
thing and need no introduction to the OLD
settlers. They have1s helped to bear the
heat and the furthen of all these years.
They have been with us in all our ups
and downs and have ever proved true.
And they both are of the clearest grit.
And who could be more entitled to the
honors than our pioneers. But outside
Of these considerations MesSrs. Boyle and
Phillips are men who are not only in
every way worthy but ip all particulars
well fitted to represent their districts, in
wisely and acceptably. No
one who knows these gentlemen or
either Of them will dissent from the
claim that in them the body of the county
will have two conscientious representa-
tives whose highest and only aim will be
to honor the county and the people who
have honored them.
Upon the whole the EAGLE is proud of
the delegation nominated by the Repub-
ican party to represent this county and
city in the state legislature.

Speaking of the Kansas farm mortgage
Indebtedness, the Kansas City Gazette
says: The eastern money lender will
find that he is the victim and not the
Kansas farmer" The truth is, says the
Atchison Champion, and we quite agree
with it, that neither the eastern man
who loans money nor the Kansas farmer
who borrows it is victim. Both find it
to be quite profitable business, at current
rates of interest 1t is likewise true, in
our Judgment, that agitation of the
mortgage and interest questions will not
result in substantial benefit to anyone,
but may occasion inconvenience if not
actual loss to many. The mortgage
business is not peculiarly a Kansas en-
terprise, although the state is among the
first in its rating. by reason of the
security and the absence of tinkering
legislation with the laws of the state that
pertain to monetary interests. The
money question is the most sensitive of
all that pertain to political economy and
needs to be handled with the greatest
care and sound Judgment. The inter
ests of both the creditor and debtor sides
must be considered, and any attempt to
serve the one to the detriment of the
other will inevitably result in injury to

All true and loyal Republicans are
agreed as to the Importance, to the well
fare and prosperity to the whole country,
of the success of the national ticket in
November, but many seem to regard the
success of the state and county tickets
secondary matter. A moments refiec-
ton will reveal the error of such a
notion. We do not mean to depreciate
the Importance of success to the party
in electing its national ticket; it is a
matter that can hardly be overestimated,
but the selection of state and county
officers is of no less concern, because
they have the enactment and enforce
ment of local laws and the control and
administration of local governmental
affairs. The necessity of having officials
In full accord with the sentiment of the
majority of the community is too patent
to need any argument to convince any
one Of even ordinary intelligence. We
only mean to call attention to the matter.

Democratic papers don't flop together
any better in their estimates of the vote
the head of their state ticket will receive
than they do on many other questions.
For instance the Topeka Democrat as
serts positively that the majority against
them will not exceed twenty-five thous-
and, while the Winfield Telegram claims
that the plurality in their flavor will be
nine thousand, in round numbers. OF
course neither estimate is anywhere near
what the result of the election will show;
the two estimates added together will be

KILRAIN NOT ANXIOUS,
But KilIen Persists in Pushing
Money at Him.

Pat Killen is still waiting to hear
something from Kilrain or his hacker i'll
reference to his challenge for a fight,
Queensberry rules, for $1,000 side and
any championship title that Kilrain
claims. Apart from some notes about
the challenge which have appeared in
FOX's paper, Killep has not heard a
word. He has, however, ordered the
certified check which he placed with
the Chicago Sporting Journal forwarded
to the New York Clipper, where it will
be allowed to remain for four or six
weeks. Speaking about the matter yes
terday, Killen said THAT it was
useless for them to talk Lon
don prize BRING rules" Queensberry
rules" said he, 'sare the ones to fight
under, because they are the only ones
which test a mans science, activity and
nerve. A man can stand up, and if he
has to take punishment, take it in that
way instead of falling and rolling over
each other. If Kilrain is the man he is
cracked up to be he has chance to
show it. If can not get on fight with
him l Will try and arrange match Win
any of the SO-called champions"
killen opens an engagement at the
Olympic theater tonight. He and John
ii. Clark will appear in friendly set-to
each evening during the week and may
possibly repeat the performance in Min
neapolis next week, although that has
not been definitely arranged. He eX-
poets to visit Chicago after he has filled
his engagements here, and while in
that city will spar one night at Bat
terry ID.
On returning to st. Paul it his inten-
ton to organize a combination of
pugilistic celebrities and visit the Pa
cific coast, giving exhibitions at the
various towns along the line of the
Northern Pacific. His aggregation will
probably include Jack WannOp, the
wrestler and pugilist who will settle
with KiIlen himself, "Reddy" Gallagher,
of Cleveland; Billy Hawkins, the we'll
known light weight, and two other
sparrers. Such a combination. under
proper management and with Killen at
the head, ought to net ''the only Pat" a
snug sum. If meantime no fight has
been arranged, Killen will make match
with Joe McAuliffe or any other fighter
on the slope.
