THE FR1sCos GREAT SCHEME.

A special dispatch from New York, of
date January 26, to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, contains the following infor-
nation that will be of interest to the
people of the sections mentioned who
are reached by the EAGLE:
Foremost among the western railroad
companies that will largely increase their
mileage during the present season is the
st. Louis and San Francisco. While the
Frisco people have been quietly prepar-
ing for great move for some time, their
final plans were not perfected until the
conferences which was recently held in
this city between the Hon. John ODay,
E.. F. Winslow, the Seligmans and 9TH
ers.
The company's offices are to be moved
to MOnett, the new town started by the
company out in southwestern Missouri,
at the conjunction of all the man lines
of their entire system, and at which
place the company has decided to erect
their permanent wood and car shops.
The Arkansas & Texas line will be ex-
tended from Monett to Kansas City. The
company will build their Konsas City
branch and close the gap in their Cali
fornia line between Sapulpa, /. T., and
Albuquerque, N. NJ, the present sea-
son.
E. F. Winslow, the president of the
company, who went to Europe few
weeks since, cabled the Seligmans that
all financial arrangements were salts
factorily completed.
AS a result of the company's new de-
parture, Frisco preferred advanced full
notch, and closed firm in Wall Street

ELSMERE SKEPTICISM.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
There has been considerable
said through the columns of the
EAGLE endorsing Mrs. Wards book,
Robert Elsmere," and now as it seems.
that side has had its say-have said all
they wish to about it except perhaps one
contributor who seems to be running to
poetry and who until recently, under
stand, has been member of an Evan
gelical church, and is trying to convince
himself lin rhyme) that the religion Of
his father and mother, and which he had
professed for twenty-five years is all a
myth. Will you allow the other side
just few closing remarks?
First, There is not line in the book
to show that Robert was ever christian,
although a clergyman; he was
weak man influenced by
every mind that came in contact with
him that had the least pretensions to
learning. He was ignorant of ground
with which all theological students are
presumed to be familiar. Squire Wen
dover, the william in the play. who pur
sued poor Robert, was cynical old ras-
cal and. as the story has it, was afraid of
ghosts, and died at last most wretchedly.
Quoting his own remarks, she said that
he was disguised with the German ra-
tlonalists which he represented as be-
ginning to founder in the sea of their
own learning. The author herself
probably has not the remotest conception
of what it is to be Christian, in the
bible sense-seems to be quite convinced
that belief in the incarnation, in the res
direction and in miracles must be
abandoned, ignoring the fact that
thousands of men, earnest, scholarly,
thoughtful and conscientious, have gone
over ali arguments pro and con, touching
the history of Christ-His birth. death
resurrection and His performance of mir
acles-who are thoroughly convinced of
the truth of the statements as we all are
of the fact that such an one as Christ did
live at one time on this earth. Her own
Arnold, of Rugby,
man honored for his learning and
has left on record the result of
his painstaking Investigations. He says:
1.-The evidence of our Lords death and
resurrection may be and often has been
shown to be satisfactory. l have gone
it piece by piece as carefully as
ever judge summed up on most i'm
portant cause; SO have thousands and
tens of thousands of others, and l know
of no one fact in the history of mankind
which is proved by better and fuller evil
dence of every sort, to the understand
ing of a fair inquirer than the great sign
that God has given us, that Christ died
and rose again from the dead"
And now, Mr. Editor, it is said that
comparisons are odious, but cannot re-
frain from just this one: let us take any
city, and for strength of intellect, breadth
of learning and for character and use
fulness. we place Christianity over
against infidelity. R.

WOLVES AND RABBITS.

Fort Worth, Texas. Gazette.
The wolf and rabbit pest has become
of so great Importance in Texas and
neighboring states that the people
affected by it are crying out for legisla-
tive aid. Following are clippings from
Panhandle papers touching the matter:
Reports still come Of the ravages of
wolves and coyotes in all sections of
Wyoming. Evidently some action must,
and will be taken with q view to the ex-
termination of these pest by the next
territorial legislature. In another year
or two, if there is no restriction, their
numbers will have surpassed any pre-
vious record.
In the interest of wool growers and
farmers we would ask the Twenty
first legislature to double the reward
offered for wolf and coyote scalps, and
also to amend the law as to include re-
ward OF ten cents per scalp for mule
cared rabbits. The latter are more de-
structive and greater pests than the
former are. being so much more numer-
Gus. 1t would not be estimating exces-
sively to say that one-tenth the wheat
crop of Northwest Texas Is annually de-
stroyed by rabbits.
And the New Mexico Stock-Grower
saws about the great range evil: Be
tween the wolf at Chicago and the wolf
on the range the cattlemen in some por-
tons of New Mexico are having pretty
tackv time. The wolf at Chicago,
however, is likely to have his fangs
extracted before many moons
wax and wane, though he howls pite-
ously at the methods OF extracting to be
adopted. There is a real necessity at the
present time for protective and effective
action TO be taken in some direction to
lessen the evil of wild beasts depredating
on the herds and hocks of this Territory.
The incurslons Of these predatory ami
mails. which has greatly increased since
the cold winters in the north two years
ago, has become a serious matter to many
of our stockraisers. Legislation IN the
shape of good bounty ON all Wild ami

Topeka Journal.

Topeka Journal,
Nearly every property-owner in Meade
Center is interested as one of the plain
tiffs in suit which has been on trial be-
fore Judge Foster during the present
week. 1t was originally brought with
w. w. Mclean as plaintiff against Peter
E. Hart, the mayor and councilmen of
the city. In January, 1886, the city
authorities entered $50 acres of land at
the Garden City United States land of
fee, for the town site of Meade Center,
and the law provides that it shall be en-
tered in trust for the occupants of the
town site according to their respective
interests When the final entry was
made nearly five hundred people resided
there. The suit was brought to gam an
injunction restraining the city authorities
from making deeds to parties not occu-
pants of the city or entitled to deeds.
The question was referred to master in
chancery-J. II. Stewart, colored law
yer in this city being appointed. He has
been at Meade Center for nearly a year
taking dispositions and now great vol
umes are being read to Judge Foster. At
the invitation of the court nearly every
property owner has entered the suit as
one of the plaintiffs and set up their
claims as original settlers. Conflicts
have arisen and some people claim a
quarter section, some eighty acres and
some forty acres or less of the town
site and the question for the court to
decide is what are their respective in

GERMANY VS.. THE UNITED STATES

The most sensible article we have seel
for some time upon the Samoan diff
Guilty, is the following from Wednes
days Chicago InterOcean:
Between the ''let's fight and let
don't parties this Samoan question is il
danger of losing its bearings. Time
enough, it might be supposed, to kick VI
a rumpus with Germany or any other in
cautious and stumbling nation when we
| find out whether our shins have really
| been kicked with malice prepense OF
with Indifference to the consequence o.
a possible return kick. This indubitablt
fact may as well be accepted, namely
that Germany albeit presided over by 6
belligerent, hot, impulsive young EN-
pcror, and directed by cool, stubborn
old chancellor, has not the faintest far
away wish to exchange shotted anG
powder-blown amenities with the Uniteo
| States.

1T is claimed, however, that any Ger.
man demonstration effecting the peace
and well being of Samoan Islanders is,
per Sc, an insult to the American flag I'M
der the treaty obligations of 1872. That
treaty made with Maunga, chief of the
island of Tutuila, gave the United States
the port of Pango as coallng station,
much to the modification of the German
government which had possessions to the
extent of 1872 900 acres in Samoa. England
also had about the same amount of land
and, as the chief had agreed to extend
to no other nation the privileges accord.
ed the United States-which govern
ment was bound in turn to assure Samoa
a certain amount of protection-both
Germany and England were much dis
turbed.' Wherefore Germany and Eng
land set about doing what they could to
break up the advantage which the United
States has over them.
England adopted the stand-off-and-
look-on policy. while Germany became
aggressive, directing her spleen against
King Malietoa, and in 1894, through in
timidation, as his majesty declares, had
an agreement signed that practically
gave her supreme control. The next
year party of German sailors and ma
rines landed on one of the islands and
hoisted the German flag, terrifying into
flight the king and his followers. The
American consul complained, and the
government at Berlin promptly disavow.

TAKING UNDUE ADVANTAGE.

1t may be regarded as none Of our
business, perhaps. but we cannot refrain
from remarking the apparent satisfac-
ton with which the Kansas City papers
are publishing sensational reports con-
corning the prevalence of smallpox in
Denver. The evident purpose of such
publications is to head off travel bound
for the Colorado metropolis via that
route, and by OBTAINING it in The City of
Kansas, Missouri reap part at least OF
the benefits the former city would de-
rive from such travel, either as prospec-
tive citizens or investors. Such reports
are calculated to hurt, and do hurt, any
town or city, for notwithstanding the
precautions taken to isolate cases OF the
disease and to prevent its contagion by
means of vaccination, which, is almost
universally employed there is a natural
dread of the disease on account of its
loathsomeness and the INCONVENIENCE
it puts one to who has
the misfortune to contract it, in conse-
quence of which dread people shun as
much as possible localities where it is
known to exist. Wichita has had some
experience in this connection-has suf-
fered materially from such magnified
statements, and is in position to appre-
ciate such wrongs wherever they occur.
Snch disposition, to build up on the
downfall Of another or to gain an undue
advantage at another's expense, is despi-
cable, to say the least, and is never at
tended with lasting benefits.
Denver is big enough and old enough
to take care of herself, doubtless, in this
and all other matters; at least she will
survive whatever Of back-set she may
sustain by reason of any exaggeration
that may be placed upon her passing
misfortune-made so by such exaggera
tion-but the character of the wrong
done her and the place from which it
emanates prompts us to remark the Incl

DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN.

The creeds Of men concretions OF the ages dead,
Ensave the minds of millions Of the human race;
They with their feet fast fettertd spend their lives
And shrink within the shade as, death comes on
apace.
Those creeds portray their God enthroned in mys-
Far far. beyond the reach of common mortals'
mind;
Composed Of THREE each perfect in entirety.
Yet to mako perfect ONE the three must be COM
bined
Each has work to do no other can perform:
BY eecn path is trod with vigor when alone:
Yet when combined. behold we'res taught their
strength is shorn-
They form God inert who cannot save his own.
The God OF heaven IS perfect IN Himself entire
OF life the fountainhead, with power all supreme:
Creation germ and architect the hidden FIRE
That thrills creations heart from center 70 ex-

His presence fills the realms Of space from His high

Beyond the farthest bounds Of regions yet IN
And every hour he paints the first sweet blush Of

Inspires with cheerful hope and looks his foibes
And whispers to each soul Do all the good ron car;

can members get chance to show their
ability to preside over the house. At Fri

tative Peters, of Kansas, was called to the
chair, and he seemed so much at home
there that Representative Dockery, who
had been designated by the speaker to
take charge, hadn't the heart to disturb
him. For an hour and a half Mr.. Peters
handled the gavel with an ease and grace
which excited The admiration of all and
the envy of some. He was much COM

Anent the rate cutting furore in Chi
cago and the repeated make-believe
efforts of the presidents and managers of
the roads involved in the alleged prac-
tees. II Is interesting to note that Jay
Gould is credited with issuing an order
TO the general manager of the Missouri
Pacific road to discharge and never re-
employ any employee found guilty of
rate cutting on that system. Whether
the report be true or not, this would GER
tainly prove practical solution of the
question. As long as agents know that
their rate cutting will be winked at.
they Will continue it. But losing their
positions for all time is quite another
phrase. There will be no cutting on the
Missouri Pacific if that remains in force
and is enforced.
