WICHITA.
Truths Briefly but Pointedly Told that
Cannot be Gainsaid.

From the Fort Scott Monitor.
We respectfully submit to our brethren
OF the Kansas press who delight in belit-
ting Notwithstanding at her professed
growth and prosperity. Wichita may not
be all that her friends claim for her. There
may not be as much building going on in
that city as there was year ago. There
may be some empty houses, because too
many were built in 1887 and 1888, but it
won't do for the ''kettle to call the pot
black" Does not this apply to every city
and town in Kansas more or less? The
point we desire to make is this: The world
can never be made believe that every town
in Kansas is prosperous except Wichita.
All the world knows that if Wichita has
serious setback, that all neighboring
towns are to a certain extent in like condi-
ton. The fact is that all Kansas is in the
same boat, and it is sheer nonsense to talk
about Hutchinson or Ell Dorado.
or Newton being wonderfully pros
porous and at the same time
Wichita dead. No sensible man will be-
lieve such stuff, and we think it time that
jealousy or rivalry would cease to inspire
detraction. 1t hurts the whole state and
every city and town in it. No town in
Kansas and no town in all the west or
northwest or south is as prosperous, that is
engaged in building and adding to their
population, as they were one and two years
ago. While local causes may operate to
the benefit of some the causes which
generally operate against one city in Kan
sas affects all. All are prosperous or all
are dull. At the present time no state,
and towns and cities of no state, are doing
better commercially or otherwise than are
the towns and cities of Kansas. This we
say from an extensive personal acquaint-
ance with them. Let our rivalries prompt
us to emulation of all that is good, and
our love to our state restrain us from all
untruthful criticisms of cur neighbors.

The seismic period seems to have been
evolved to the surface again. Earth
shocks have been felt in a number of
places In this country recently, and IN
other parts of the world severe disturb
ances are reported to have occurred. One
of the worst and most destructive quakes
reported took place down in Costa Rico.
The volcano of Posa, % miles from San
Jose suddenly burst out, a short time
ago, with fire and smoke and the earth
trembled for miles in all directions. Il
is estimated that FIVE millions dollars
worth of property was destroyed.

To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle.
Sir-In Sunday mornings paper you
made very unwise remark concerning
Mrs. Cleveland's Omaha estate, which
emanated from Brigham Young. You
thought this better point for Grover to
locate at than Omaha. l think differ
ent. Being an old line Democrat and
one that knows this climate, know il
would not suit him. as he is so long in
the habit of carrying water on both
shoulders, and our prevailing southern
winds would make it sickly for him. I
hope he will not come to Wichita.

WILL PEACE PREVAIL ?

There is a great deal of talk about
peace in Europe, but there never were
more warlike symptoms. Not counting
Great Britain, Spain, Sweden and Nor
way, Denmark, Portugal and the low
countries, all of which are armed and
some heavily, there are more than TO-
100000 men in Europe today actually
enrolled for military service at an hours
notice; more than 5000, 900 more who are
trained to arms and ready to serve the
moment their country is invaded: and
more than 5000, 900 more who are liable
to be called on as final reserves. There
are, then, more than %, 500, 900 Euro
peans practically under arms and likely
to have their lives endangered in battle
in the next war; more than one-half Of
the entire adult male population. This
does not look like peace. Neither does
the attitude of the powers betoken pro-
longed peace. Germany, with its young
emperor anxious to win for himself the
glories of war, watches every movement
in France; the French people are assured
by Boulanger that they are in condition
to meet their old enemy; Salisbury is
urging England to reinforce her coast
defenses; Russia is watching every
movement in the Bosphorus and is ready
at any moment to raise its heavy hand
whenever the Balkan provinces do not
go in the right track; Austria is in the
same position. but thinks she ought to
direct the Balkan states; again, Russia
has invaded Northern India, by a royal
visitation which is suspiciously eyed by
England's representatives; Italy is show
ing signs of again looking across the
Mediterranean and establishing that SUI
premacy in Egypt which Rome long
held, and there are other indications of
restlessness. 1t is in order for the people
of the United States with no entangling
alliance, to be thankful that here, at
least, peace will prevail.

That alleged syndicate for protecting
our otherwise unprotected seaports
against the approach of hostile war ships
by covering the oil forced up through
submarine pipes and then starting a
blaze by means of bombs is not devoid
of ingenuity, though it does not take
such a grip on the imagination as the
repellers, crabs and earthquake bombs
of the other syndicate celebrated by
Frank Stockton. If the OIL We're able
to give satisfactory security for good
behavior in the points of staying where
it is put, blazing up at exactly the right
moment, going out the instant its SER
vices are no longer needed. reserving its
flames for the enemy exclusively, and
scrupulously refraining from setting
fire to anything in the harbor or on
shore. it might be worth trying. In the
absence of such security, conservative
people owning stationary or floating
property of combustible nature in the
neighborhood of the proposed expert
ment would be likely TO object.

Kansas is twenty-eight years old to-

Whether stimulated by Dr. Makenzie's
book of defense of his treatment and
management of the late German en-
peror's case, or for from penchant for
the sensational, the physicians who at

hostilities again. Has it never occurred
10 them that this unseemly wrangle is
not all in keeping with the popular idea
of the dignity of professional gentlemen
of their high standing? 1t cannot be
that they have so far disregarded the
code of ethics as to fall upon such a

mainstay in tariff discussion for years

rest of them has. and although Vest and

On the Right Side.

Kansas City News.
Though two governors and scores of
legislatures of Kansas have been pur-
blind enough to fall into the pit dug by
the retail butchers, it is gratifying and
encouraging to notice. that the press of
the state is almost a unite in its opposi-
ton to anti-packing house legislation.
The eyes of the Kansas newspaper
man are open. His intellect is ever on
the alert. He is quick to see the danger
lurking in these bills, and undaunted in
his denunciation of them. To name the
papers that have arrayed themselves on
the side of the right in this question
would be to enumerate all the papers of
standing in the state.
With so powerful an agency arrayed
against them, the ring OF the retail
butchers must be shattered.
