The site which Kansas City should urge,
and which Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri,
Arkansas Colorado and the largest part
of the states which will be represented by
delegates should support, Is Sabine Pass.
Favorabiy situated. affording short haul
from all points, and affording an excellent
water route for both northern and south
ern Atlantic ports. Sabine Pass combines
all desirable advantages for the purpose in
question. For it our hard work should be
put in.-Kansss City News.
Iii point of nearness to the great
stretch of territory west of the MiSsis-
Sipi river outside of the state of Texas,
of its practicability and desirability after
the depth Of water is permanently
secured and in point of safety to shipping
from gulf storms, Sabine Pass Is de
cidedly preferable, but Galveston also
has some strong points in its favor. The
first and important question, however,
to be settled is the securing ola harbor:
the difference of a few miles in distance
between these two and several other
available localities on the coast is of
minor consequence to us at this distance.
We want an outlet 10 the sea and can
not afford TO waste time and energy in
wrangle over locations, which after all
will be determined by the government
upon the report and recommendation
OF Its officers and committees appointed
by congress, sent there and TO be sent
there for that specific purpose.

IVLAl NofI., mug ISI %.
To the Editor of the Eagle
Some one has sent me a copy OF the
EAGLE dated 22nd instant with a mark
article entitled THE Grain Grower VS..
The Bucket Shops" by ''Querist."
In the above mentioned article Mr.
Querist consumed whole column in
trying 10 show that it is the duty of con-
gress TO legislate against bucket shops
and option dealing, and-so-forth, in Chi
cago and elsewhere. If Mr. Querist will
devote one line TO informing the people
under what clause of the constitution he
proposed such legislation shall be had he
will do them great favor.

st. Louis Republic: One OF the able
and representative newspapers OF Kan
sas. the Wichita EAGLE, takes the Kan
sas Citv Times sharply to to task for mis-
representing Kansas sentiment on the
Worlds Fair question, and says that as
between st. Louis and Chicago, Kansas
decidedly and emphatically favors st.
Louis. There is every reason to believe
that the EAGLE is right. The location
of the Fair in st Louis will be to the adj
vantage of Kansas in many ways, OF
which her people are not unmlndtul.

then the grain growers of this section
may congratulate themselves on an early

Home rule is indeed the great desider-
atm to the peace and contentment of
the unhappy people of Ireland, but much
as that condition is desired it had better
never be obtained if it is to be through
purchase, the price being the surrender
of principle without which absolute in
dependence of English rule even in its
most rigorous form would be as May
day outing for restraint. Written his
tory had as we'll be destroyed and tradi-
ton blotted from the memory if the ex-
perience of the past is TO be Of no value
as guide to the future. If the Balfour-
Parnell agreement, mentioned in yester-
days dispatches, Is what we understand
1t to be it will be sorry day not only for
Ireland but the United Kingdom when
1t shall be contaminated. 1t will be a
step backward three hundred years. The
cause of civil and religious liberty
throughout the world, and especially i'll
this country, revolts at and protests
against such a contamination.

to build an addition to the White House
at Washington out of beet sugar, he haV-
ing discovered a process by which the
sugar can be crystalized SO that 1t be-
comes more durable than granite and
much cheaper. The process OF harden
ing and preparing the sugar for building
purposes must necessarily incur some ex-
pense. If, then, Mr.. Spreckles can fur

Post Dispatch: The men who have
built Wichita, the great city Of Kansas,
on land that few years ago pastured
the wild bison and the antelope, are
wise enough to know that the destiny OF
their city and state is united for veal or
woe with that of the great city of the
Mississippi Valley. Instead of making
war on st. Louis and looking further
east for neighbors, friends and COM
mercial connections, Wichita stands up
for her own side of the Mississippi, and
her remarkably bright and enterprising
paper, the Wichita EAGLE, is enlisting
the whole state of Kansas III the effort
to bring the Worlds fair to st. Louis.
If St. Louis fails to make a proper and
successful effort she will not be more
mortified, disappointed and hurt by her
failure than millions of friends she has
in the New West.

very commendable desire if he had been will

the duties Of an Indian Agent, it is true, but
the administration has been prolific of new
conceptions Of public Office.
The appointment of Mrs. Dorchester is
rather rank, even for an old flag and an APP
preparation administration, but it is no worse
than the nepotism of the president in his

WANTS MORE POWER.

1t is evident that the administration con.
templates the capture of the four new States
in the far Northwest at their approaching
elections, and it is no less plain that this
result cannot be comprised except by brides
in the form Of money or farms, and for the
distribution Of which preparations are now
going forward. Such interference by the
general government, it need hardly be said
is an offense against political morality which

be expected to overlook or forgive Eight
additional Senators are TO be sent by these
States TO the Upper House OF Congress, and

rison administration 80 eagerly reaches out.

ship, they do not require to be instructed by
the national administration in what per.
tains to their duty on entering upon their
new relations. But this purity protesting
administration is inclined wholly to regard
such presumption, and would practically
hold the new States in territorial leading

Interference at this particular time, too,
is fairly TO be taken as confession that the
administration is afraid to trust the people
of the new States TO their free and unbiased
choice of State officers and Legislators, of
representatives and Senators, and would
therefore step in and perform the duty on
their behalf. Every form of bribery en-
ployed upon them means this, and this only.
1t is no business of the Federal government
to bring its powerful influence to bear upon
the elections in States, new or old. 1t is
but one step beyond the absorption OF State
authority entire. Let us not fail to keep in
mind that this intolerable meddlng in local
elections from Washington is the best pos
sible illustration of the insincerity of pro.
fessions intended to pass for their face value
in other parts of the country.
