THE n. Y STARS IDEA OF

The friends Of Southern industri
al progress should recognize that
the South must work out its own
redemption with the aid already at
hand. They should join with those
who really want to see IL genuine
elevation of the colored race at the
South in opposing the revival OF the
race question as IL political question.
The people and papers at the
North who talk about n "strong
Southern policy" do not for IL mo.
ment consider how much the devel.
opment of manufactures, r.ining
and railroads at the South is doing
tor the colored race.
1t has resulted already in the
employment of colored men in large
numbers and varied capacities. Tie
old idea that their only utility as
field hands, is disappearing. As
coal miners.in iron and cotton mills,

There is something touching in
the anguish of the Republican press

small need of seeking 10 impress for
eicners with our prowess by hec-

party can well afford to abide by it's
record for protecting our national
honor Our foreign wars have been
fought and our most glorious victo

NESS COUNTY VETERAN ASSOCIA
TION.
Ness CITY, Kan, Nov.

Ness CITY, Kan, Nov. 80.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The Ness County Veteran association
was organized at the opera house in this
city today. The object of the associa-
ton is to demand of congress a redemp-
ton of the promises crystalized into
planks of the different platforms of the
last quarter of century. The bond
holder has been repaid in full, and lib
eral interest in addition thereto. The
old soldiers have quietly waited and
without murmur until this work was
completed and they have uncomplain-
ingly added their mite that the pledges
of the nation might be redeemed to the
fullest possible limit. They now ask that
the pledges made to those who furnished
the brains and muscle to put down the
rebellion shall be redeemed with the
same exactness as was done In behalf OF
those who put up their money.
A series of ringing resolutions were
adopted, among which was one that no
MEMBER of the association would vote
for any candidate for congress who
would not pledge himself to work and
vote for a measure that would give q
service pension of at least IS to every
surviving soldier of the Union army.
If the "boys" all over the land will
wake up and get down to business in the
same way something viii drop. y.

AN ACTiOF HEROISM.

An account of the act of Igoe, the tele-
graph operator, who sacrificed his life at
the fire IN Minneapolis Saturday night,
is now going the rounds. The narrative
is touching one on first reading, and
in the estimation of some the actor was
a very hero. His courage was indeed
heroic, but his judgement was fatally
deficient. Had the lives of others in
any way depended upon his acts there
would have been strong appeal for the
sacrifice he made and the world would
have accorded him unstinted praise.
But there was absolutely nothing in his
line of duty nor in the circumstances of
the occasion that even SO much as war
rant him to SO act. Others in the room with
him saved themselves by flight, nor did
they forfeit one iota of the respect or
esteem of any right-thinking person by
saving themselves. True courage is the
most ennobling of human characteristics,
but there is marked distinction between
this and foolhardiness, and the two can
not be better illustrated than in action
of the railroad engineer who remains at
his post if perchance he may avert i'm
pending disaster to his train of human
freightage, and the seeker after notoriety
by attempting an impossible feat.

CLOSE UP THOSE JOINTS.

The Kansas City Gazette threatens
Marsh Murdoch with accommodation
from the party unless he repents and re-
forms. When was George Martin made
pope of the Republican party?-Emporia
News.
In spite of all the solmen-faced pro-
testations of our dear red-headed, warm
hearted brother at the mouth of the
kaw. to the contrary notwithstanding,
we have been unable to rid ourself of
the conviction eternally and in ag-
gravated ugliness obtruding itself. that
joints are as thick as fieas upon the body
polite of Kansas City, Kansas. But
now two such opposite and extreme
witnesses as the Rev. Russell and the
Kansas City Times both assure us that
our misSivings have only been too true.
The preacher said that he went from
place to place calling for regular old
raw whisky, not even emitting black
smith shop, and that the ardent was
forthcoming every time. Touching the
truth of this awful state of affairs comes
the Kansas City Times with the follow
ing cruel reflection:

kellogg appoint al assistant for Kansas

the line than there are IN any other city in

The Triumphs Of Surgery.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A remarkable instance of surgical
progress which occurred in the practice
of Professor Won Bergman, of Berlin,
the other day is reported. The professor
had two patients who were simultane-
ously brought to him for operations, one
requiring amputation of the thigh at the
hip Joint, the other needing portion OF
the humerus removed on account Of the
bone being extensively diseased. The
first operation to be done was the ampu-
tation. and Immediately afterward the
surgeon proceeded to excise the
diseased portion of the humerus.
The result of this latter procedure was
necessary to make gap in the bone;
but piece of the thigh bone was taken
from the limb which had just been
amputated and fixed in the gap, by
which the continuity OF the humerus
was completely restored. Perfect union
took place, and the patient recovered
with useful arm.

TO sEDew1cK COUNTY FARMERS.
The Eagle Wants One Thousand Bushels
of Corn for the Destitute.

From two counties on the border of
Colorado the EAGLE has received pathetic
appeals for relief. From the character
of the men who write and from other
reliable sources there is undoubtedly des-
titution among large number of new
settlers, whose wives and babes are suf-
fering and whose live stock must perish
if relief is not sent. The EAGLE has
representative who visits that section of
the state frequently and its proprietors
desire to send at least one car load of
corn to them. To this end an arrange
ment has been made with the railroads
for the transportation. Now, there are
large number of solid farmers in Sedg-
wick county who are in arrearages for
subscription to the weekly EAGLE. II
these delinquents will pay up in corn we
will donate the corn to these western
sufferers and see that it is delivered, or
whatever amount of corn is delivered
will be credited on subscription. All that
any delinquent will have TO do will be to
deliver the corn to J. w. Hawns elevator
in this city, taking receipt for the same,
and send or bring the receipt to this Of
fee. where the full amount will be
credited on subscription.
Corn is not worth very much here,
but delivered at or near the west line of
this state is valuable. A hundred dol
lars worth of corn here is worth three or
four hundred dollars there, and will I'M
doubtedly do great good.
There is no limit to this proposition,
under which it would be possible for de-
hnquents in this county to deliver thous-
ands of bushels. Bring on or send in
your corn. 1t will be shelled and clean
ed, and shipped to either Stevens or Nor
ton county, or to both.
Now, gentlemen, come in with your
corn. Here is good chance to kill two
birds with one stone. to do charitable
act and at the same time discharge
debt. 1t will also be doing friendly
turn by a paper which has always en-
deavored to be your true friend and
champion, because we have promised at
least one car load.

SPEAKER REED.

The election of an eastern man to the
speakership by congress brings this half
lament from the Kansas City Star: "In
a sectional contest the west can defeat
the east on political issue by proper
combination of forces. but four candi-
dates from the west cannot hope to pre-
vail over one man from the east The
victory of Mr.. Reed, of Maine, was there
fore guaranteed almost from the start. F"
The Star is evidently laboring under a
misrepresentation of the situation in that
connection. In this instance it was not
sectional contest; nor would it have
been had there been but one OF the can
didates from the west contesting. The
selection of Mr.. Reed by his party con-
freres was, in the first place, a recogni
ton of his superior fitness for the posi-
tion-nor does this imply disparagement
of the candidates from the west, for the
position, or a score OF other distinguished
representatives as for that. And in the
second place the preferment was Justly
due Mr. Reed, in view of the fact that
he stood as the party's choice for the
position more than once when such can
didacy was but an empty honor.
The splendid manner in which the
supurb representative from Maine has
1eported himself on the floor of congress
Is sufficient guaranty of his ability,
and his brief but manly and dignified
acknowledgement of the honor upon as
Stunning the chair is all that was neces-
sary to indicate his disposition to dis
charge the delicate and responsible
duties with view to the greatest good to
the greatest number.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

When thought is too weak to be simply
expressed, it is a proof that it should be re-
jected.
Adversely is the trial Of principle. With
out it, man hardly knows whether he is
honest or not.
Affection is the wholesome soil Of virtue,
where patience. honor, sweet humanity, calm
fortitude, take root and strongly flourish.
Love is like a painter, who, in drawing the
portrait of friend having blemish IN one
eye, would picture only the other side of the
face.
a man who habitually INDUCES in violent
rage is laying up for himself store of ills
against advancing age, the least Of which
may be a general palsy.
The very consciousness CT trying for real
excellence in anything is great support.
1t takes half the sting from failure and
doubles the joy of success.
Every one must have felt that a cheerful
friend is like sunny day, which sheds it,
brightness on all around: and most Of Us can,
as we choose make this world either palace

The presidents message, which is
given in full in this issue of the EAGLE,
while not as lengthy as some of his pre-
decessors' communications to the con-
gress, nor studied display of rhetorical
phrases, will yet strike every unbiased
citizen of average intelligence as a
straightforward business paper, dealing
in clear and concise language with mat
tiers requiring the attention of congress
as we'll as a comprehensive resume of
the nations affairs at home and abroad.
The message as whole seems to fully
meet the high expectations of the presi-
dents most ardent supporters and adj
mirers. Ii will be read with general

An Urgent Need.

From the Atchison Champion.
The Champion would advocate the
holding of constitutional convention if
the question of prohibition had never
been raised. Its advocacy is based upon
the consciousness of pressing necessity,
and not upon desire to resort to a
makeshift in dealing with questions of
public interest. There are abundant
reasons for revision of our state con-
stitution-reasons which, TO all who ap-
preciate the situation, are conclusive. +
Neither the Prohibitionists nor
anti-Prohibitionist have anything to
fear from a constitutional convention.
Its members would in their action reflect
the sentiments of the majority of the
people of konsas. The results of their
labors would be the embodiment of the
will and wishes of majority of the
people. What the majority want they
should have, it matters not what it is.
And in all matters of public policy the
minority should be content with the de-
termination of the majority, since they
represent the dominant sentiment Of all
questions: and. too. because under our
form of government, in the very nature
OF things, the majority is the final ad-
Indicator, the ultimate resort.

Inexorable Fate.

From the Kansas City News,
The horrible fire in the Minneapolis
Tribune building afforded an instance of
the way in which fate will seemingly
pursue its chosen victims with an in
exorable purpose. Only few days ago
a married woman of Minneapolis met
her death in most extraordinary man
ner. Sitting in her room one afternoon
she failed to notice that the gas was
turned on and not burning. A catarrh
trouble had robbed her of all sense of
smell, and so she sat quietly sewing
while the room was filling with the
deadly gas. Her husband came home
to find her still sitting in her chair dead.
The dead body of the husband, who was
the commercial editor of the Tribune,
now lies somewhere in the debris of Sat
urday nights fire.
