DETERMINED TO PRESS THE ISSUE.

Colonel Mills has been unbosoming
himself to the Springfield Republicans
Washington man. He is still convinced
that the forcing of the tariff issue last
year was good politics. His theory of
the Democratic upset is that it was
caused by 'the old sectional outcry
against the Confederate brigadiers." He
hasn't doubt that the ideas embodied
in Mr.. Cleveland's last years message
and in the Mills bill will win in the long
run. Mr. Cleveland has not expressed
himself to the colonel either orally or by
letter as DESTROYS of compromise legisla
ton Including repeal Of the tobacco
tax at this session; on the contrary he
has expressed himself as determined to
press the issue of tariff reform and is
confident of its triumph" The colonel
doesn't expect any such COM
promise legislation, though he says
1t might be possible if the senate
would meet us" half way. He and
his associates on the ways and means
committee are waiting for some figures
from the treasury department, but he
thinks they will make report (unfavor
able, of course,) on the senate bill about
the middle of this month. Then there
will be another tariff debate, he sup
poses, ending in Inconvenience and
the appointment OF a conference COM
mittee. If the cOnferees fail TO reach an
agreement, that will be the end of the
matter so far as the Fiftieth congress is
concerned. AS to the Cowles bill for re-
pealing the tobacco tax, the colonel sug-
gested that, even if reported by MI Ran
dalfs committee, it may not be reached
this session. There are several of our
people who would oppose reporting it."

THE LOYAL LEGION.

The military order of the LOYAL Lee
glon, department of Kansas, held its an
nual meeting in Topeka Wednesday,
and at night was banqueted at the Cope
/ land hotel. A number of distinguished
members, ex-soldiers and citizens of the
state were present at the banquent and
responded to toasts fitting to the occa-
sion. Among these were Col. J. r. Hal
lowell, Of this city. The follawing syn
opsls of his response to the toast called
is taken from the Journal:
The closing toast by Colonel J. R. Hal
lowell was one of the best of the even
ing. Happily adjusted to the colonels
ford style of oratory was the toast:
OUR COUNTRY UNDIVIDED.
''The union of lakes-the union of lands.
The union of states none can sexer
The union of hearts-the union ofAands
And the flag Of our union forever"
The colonel had heard it said many
years ago that it was better for a man to
walk Il hundred miles rather than write
letter; and he had walked all the way
from Wichita to tell them what he had
to say to them, instead of writing it like
his friend. Ex-Governor Geo. T. An
thOny. Ex-Governor AnthOny-''It's
only matter of taste. For myself, |
prefer to ride Laughter The union
soldier, the loyal legioneer," promptly
shouldered his musket and his knapsack,
tossed to the breeze the sters and stripes
in the hour of his country's need. and
for what? Just what the toast contem-
plates, "Our Country Undivided" Their
work was well done, they had never net
with unfavorable criticism, no one had
ever found fault with their achieve
ment. and the ''Loyal.Legioneers" had
returned from war to the blessings
OF lasting peace. To the speaker.
and he presumed it was the same
with each and every member of
the Loyal Legion before him. the express
sion of 1.-The south" and 1.-The north" is
hateful. We ought to speak of South
Carolina" and New York" in referring
to various states or localities in our gIori-
Gus republic and not as though we spoke
of Germany, France or England AL
ready the fruits of the war are being gar
nered in peace. The states which were
in rebellion are beginning to recognize
that they need the aid of the men who
saved this country to develop their re-
sources. Emigration to that locality is
annually increasing and the northerner
is being given more hearty welcome
every day. What a glorious time it will
be when we hear no more of this feeling
of sectionalism. and when the re-
suits of the war are accepted by
all and the blessings of perpetual
peace are visited upon US.
We have reached then what the stars and
stripes say, union of people. union of
hearts. union of hands. The union be-
longed to the old soldiers and their pro-
tectorship over it had not yet ceased
There was an enemy which it must meet
aud conquer. That enemy. which
menaced our liberty. and our free insti-
tutions was an unrestricted and ignorant
and foreign immigration. We should
block our harbors TO the anarchist and
declare that every man who crossed the
threshold of this union shall acknowl-
edge the stars and stripes as his banner,
and not the red rag This sentiment
was roundly applauded.

& MEAD OF PRAISE

During the last days of the discussion
of the Oklahoma bill prior to its passage
by the house, there were any number of
subterfuges resorted to by enemies of
the measure to so handicap it as to cause
its defeat in the senate, or failing there
to provoke its veto by the president.
The most plausible of these was the at
tempt to fasten upon it an amendment
ostensibly in the interest of ex-union
soldiers but which was in reality against
their interest, in that, as Mr. Peters
clearly explained in his manly, dignified
protrayal of the disingenuous scheme, it
not only jeopardized the success of the
measure but placed the ex-soldiers in a
false attitude toward the government in
relation TO the lands to be acquired from
the Indians, or at least lands to which
the Indians assert claims that will need
to 0e quoted by the government. In
the running debate that took place on
the amendment mentioned Mr.. Peters
took a conspicuous part and showed
himself fully equal to the occasion by
ably and successfully advocating the
Oklahoma bill on its merits, at the same
time defending the ex-soldierS. who
make up, in large measure, his immedi-
ate constituency, from the imputation
that was attempted to be placed upon
them. The point to the matter in brief
was this: The proposed amendment pro-
vlded for the homesteading or pre-empt-
ing of the lands embraced in the bill by ex-
soldiers without cost TO them other than
land Office fees. Mr.. Peters objection to
this was that it would in effect be EQUIV
alent to taking something like So. 0e0.-
coo from the public treasury and giving
1t away without just reason therefor.
inasmuch as large portion of the land
would have TO be paid for by the govern
ment at the rate of SIPS per acre TO sat
isfy Indian claims. And for the further
reason that such course would be I'M
just discrimination against the thousands
OF eX-soldiers who have taken for them
selves homes upon public lands paving
for same the stipulated price placed up
on them by the government, the same as
other citizens.
1t is but just to state in this con-
nection that Mr.. Peters was ably sec
onded in his efforts in this behalf by
Representative Perkins, and that to the
able and well directed endeavors of these |
two strong friends of the bill and of the |
soldier element, was largely due the |
defeat of the amendment and passage of
the bill in the shape in which. substan- |
tally it viii become law. This service |
was performed, not for applause but from
high sense Of duty, but the faithful /
are none the less entitled to the |
thanks of the public, and especially their |
ex-comrade constituencies, therefor.

MISLEADING AssEvERAT1oNs.

The Leavenworth Times gives half
way endorsement Of the metropolitan
police law by insisting that it be made
mandatory and itssrpovisions applied to
every other city in the state, as provided
in bill or bills now pending before the
legislature. This brings the Topeka
Capital to its feet again in defense of
that town and as a sort of plea in
avoidance, it asserts that ''the present
metropolitan police law has proven a
success wherever put in operation, and
it has not been applied to any city of the
state without requisite number of
petitioners from such city,
As far as Wichita is concerned we
deny the substance of both propositions,
as has been done before, repeatedly. 1t
is not necessary to enter into extended
argument of the question just here, but
we will state for the information Of our
/. c., which appears to be remarkably
forgetful Of oft stated facts touching this
city, that as far as the enforcement of
the prohibitory law is concerned the
presence OF the metropolitan police have
had no appreciable effect one way or the
other. AS to the existence of the system
here, while there may have been a
shadow Of pretext for imposing it upon
the city, in a petition from coterie Of
advocates who suffered their zeal for
specific object to overcome their judg-
ment touching the rights of the commu
nifty at large, such petition was out
many times by remonstrances
against the unwarranted imposition. AS
for the present, the conditions are I'M
changed and the same principle is in
volved, therefore do we renew our de-
nunciations and reassert our protest.

This question is occupying good deal
of time in the legislature. We have not
heretofore paid any attention to the
matter, but we are now convinced that
the bill ought not to pass. In the first
place, it is said that W. w. Guthrie is
the author OF it. That alone would
damn it. It is sure sign that there is
some sneaking sellishness III it. The
vicious old beast never does anything
without a sneakIng, selfish design to get
an advantage over somebody. PERHAPS
it is in order to get a better price for
his Sc cattle. But the bill is favored
in certain quarters, because of jealousy
Of Kansas City. Kansas towns, that
aspire to be rivals of Kansas CITY,
cannot compete with her, and want
laws passed to give them an advantage
1t is not for the benefit of the Kansas
cattle raisers. If the Kansas farmer has
car load of cattle TO ship, he cannot
find a market in any of those Kansas
towns. He must ship either to Chicago
or to Kansas City. If the legislature of
this state pass laws to cripple the dressed
beef business, they simply cripple the
market for Kansas cattle. 1t will enable
the city butchers TO put up the price of
beef at the expense of their customers,
and enable them to buy cattle cheaper,
at the expense of the farmers. The faint
of GuthrieIsm is on the bill. 1t means
rascality.

THE REVIVAL AT ARKANSAS CITY.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.

Elder j. N. Monroe, who has been
visiting few days at his home in
Wichita, has now returned to Arkansas
City to continue the revival, gives us a
brief account of his meeting.
He went to Arkansas City the early
part of November to raise money to pay
off the church debt of the Christian
church. Having accomplished that he
then succeeded in settling a church
trouble and effecting reconciliation Of
the parties. On the 21st of November
he commenced a protracted meeting
which is now in its twelfth week. There
have been $50 accessions. During all
this time people have been turned away,
unable to get in and many times hum
dreds are turned away although Mr..
Monroe has requested the members to
stay away and give the preference to
outsiders.
Although five other revivals have been
IN progress since January l, there has
been no decrease in interest. Last Sat
urday there was twenty three accessions
and on Sunday twenty. Three services

A PEN PICTURE OF OKLAHOMA.
Drawn by the X. c. Gazette Artist.

Drawn by the K. c. Gazette Artist.
The territory now occupied by the In
dams and cattlemen, called Oklahoma,
will in all probability be opened for set
tlement in few months, and then there
will be the old-time rush of men who
have been restless from their childhood,
and who are never satisfied with the en-
vironments of refined society, but who
rather prefer the freedom and freshness
Of the frontier. And there is a facina-
ton in this frontier business which time
does not seem to impair in the western
man, for among the adventures swarm
into any new country you will always
see number of grey-headed men,
and perhaps toothless also, preforring to
gum the tough beef and the rough fare
of the early settlements to being left be-
hind. The doctor without patients
elsewhere will be there, and the brief
less lawyer will stick out his shingle,
chew black tobacco, smoke a cob pipe
ana practice before the justice of the
peace v it'll his feet on the table, always
having an eye to windward for office.
And towns will spring up as if by magic
and then the additions thereto will
spread out from Dan to Beersheba. The
same wild capitalist will build an i'm
mense hotel to try and bring the town
to his property, and the great brick
blocks will go up, mortgaged, and the
first owner will be bursted fatter than a
pancake. Moreover. Buffalo Jones will
be there, and don't you forget it. 1t
will be the same old story of
the town outgrowing the po-
tato patch or the corn field
besides a great waste OF energy in build
ing towns. Men like Sam Wood will
think theirs is the only town fit to be
the county seat, and then the other
towns will go to fighting, or they will
appeal to Governor Murdoch or some
other good Republican who President
Harrison will appoint. The women will
petition to the Legislature to have their
rights recognized, and viii send to Kan
sas and get their best friend. Web
Wilder, to push things through the leg
stature, and Web viii have to see Sid
Clark, who will be speaker of the house
of delegates. And, to cap it all, the
Kansas man who is first in war, love
and peace will be the first in Oklahoma.

There is, indeed, much food for relec-
ton over the state of case as set out in
the foregoing, every sentence and sylla-
bic of which is, alas, too true. But. say,
would not our denunciations of such
things. in the communities named, and
throughout the south generally, have
more force if our own state were just a
little freer of incidents and occurrences
just about as reprehensible as some that
transpire elsewhere? We suggest this
not that we hate Caesar less, but that we
love Rome more.
