For the Eagle
WAS CHRIST A MAN OF SORROWS?

Could he the man of sorrows be- who
BY word the fount of sorrows healed?
A title with snch sadness fraught
Belongeth not to him, for where his
Presence shed its influence. pure and sweet
There sorrow died, death fled amazed,
Disease shrank from his touch. and saw the
Victim from its power made Tree.
His smile
Brought comfort 10 the wounded heart. and
By his word the stricken soul was cured;
United by mystic tie to
Him who is the source OF joy,
His teachings full of sweetness fell
Upon the ear of man depraved
Like dew distilled from Heaven upon
\ desert waste.
Hope sprung anew
Upon the barren soil. and staiwart
Grew. and love a tender vine with
Modest mein, .cane forth in bud and bloom
Then twining bound itself 10 hope,
And man was born again.
The sorrowing Magdalen
The darkened chambers of whose soul, the
HabitaLlon was OF doubt, and fear
ReSultlng IN maze OF dumb dSSpalr,
DeSpised of all the who dare not
Think TO enter where the pure abide
Nor even press with weary feet
The threshold Of the house of prayer,
To her
The words of peace he spoke, BE freed,
Go sin no more" the heavy load
Dissolved. the past was dead, her soul
Was swept anew, where once thick darkness
Reigned, now JOY supreme Is queen,
His sympathetic life
So full OF love and hopeful cheer,
To man an inspiration was. and is.
He taught tho bleSsedness of doing right,
and by his hand the veil Of darkness
Ger mans mind was swept aside. and
Truth 70 him revealed, do ye would
Have others do 70 yOu,' and as
He preached, he did.
No shadows
MARRIED the radiance Of his life, wherever
His footsteps fell, peace blosSOmed, and
The harvest fed the hungry soul,
Darkness faded into day, and through
The holy influence of his life.
Man walks higher plane.
Christ stands before the world today, the
Man of OF JOY supreme. L. p. FORD

SOUND DOCTRINE.

If the members of the Grand Army of
the Republic think the organization has
not been duly recognized by the admins
traiion in making local appointments they
should lay the blame where it belongs and
mass against those persons who are direct
~ responsible for ii. They should not
abandon the principles for which they have
coptenGed, but should remain in the party
to purge and purify it, by relegating TO the
shades OF private lite such officials as
have proven recreant to its recognition in
the distribution OF federal favors. This is
the way to secure recognition in the fu-
ture. -EmpOria Republican.
The doctrine is sound. Republicans
are not going to forsake their principles
because Of the failure of party leaders;
not going back on their party because
manipulating demagogues have saddled
the party with burthens, Not much.
The party is ours, and its principles ever
Lying ones. What is wanted is to kick
cut incompetent leaders and unload the
burthens. That's the sum total of re-
beIlion and revolution.

An Illogical Conclusion.

AtCfis01 tNam0l1D.
The New York Medical Journal ex-
plains the physical degeneracy of Amer
lean women by saying that household
utensils are all too big for women to
handle with comfort But this Is an ex-
PLANTATION that doesn't explain. For the
women VIVA show the greatest evidences
of physical degeneracy are the women
who never under any circumstances
handle these heavy household utensils.
While, on the other hand, the women
who do handle them are, as a rule, well
developed physically. Perhaps the phys
zeal degeneracv of so many women Is
due 70 the fact that they don't handle
household utensils enough.

THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.y

Neither of the two great parties, the Re-
publican or Democratic, has any use for
him, except as Il political factor, and that
factor is growing of less consequence every
succeeding year.-TOpeka Democrat.
When the editor says that neither of
the great parties has any use for the
negro, save as political factor, his word
is entitled to be received only so far as it
refers to his own party. 1t is not true of
the Republican party. Long before the
negro was political factor in this land,
when he was but thing before the law,
a chattel to be bought and sold, the Re-
publican party took an interest in him
and endeavored to lift him up and did
lift him from his degraded condition and
gave him a chance in the world. What
ever may be said Of the hope of the Re
publican party in placing the ballot IN
the hands of the liberated slave, every
candid man must confess that it was
only an earnest desire for the welfare
of the slave, that led TO his liberation.
And this kindly interest the Republican
party has yet. 1t reioice5 in every new
evidence of growth IN the race, and is
ever ready to lend a hand to lift it to
higher planes. -Leavenworth Times.

THE EAGLE Is NO THIEF.

he Wichita EAGLE is a very creditable
paper for The town in which 1T is published
and makes some lretenSlOnS to metropOli
tanism. But ii has yet to learn that no
first class paper ever steals from another
paper and republishes matter without
credit. In its edition of Wednesday the
EAGLE publishes The Times special article
Cd irrigation from Mr. Hinton as an orig
inaI dispatch, and also used a Times edi-
torian Oh the probable price of wheat, with
n few additional lines, as an original
production. This Will do for the weekly
patent outsides, but it ought to be beneath
a paper of the pretentiOns of the EAGLE.
Credit where credit is due is an inviolable
rule in all first class newspaper offices and
we desire to look upon the EAGLE as
first class Kansas paper.-kausas City
Times
If the EAGLE is anything it is original.
The Hinton article was. used, but not as
a dispatch, and it was taken from the
Times. but until the above notice APP
peared we were not aware that the
article had failed of proper credit as il
appeared in our columns. We not only
always stand ready to credit the Times
but are always ready 20 acknowledge its

at the end of a branch line thirty-odd
miles southwest of jefferson City. This
link is being constructed with reference

Wichita the shortest line to st. Louis by

test in st. Louis. but very little real sym

Their Wealth a Curse.

The Usage tribe of Indians is said to
be the richest nation in the world. The
tribe numbers 1901 men, women and
children. They have in the United
States treasury 1868, 1894 of their own
money, drawing 5 per cent. interest. But
besides this they have 100000 acres of
land, equal to just LOCO acres apiece.
The land would sell for SO an acre. Or
$40, geo for each individual portion. This
makes each Indian worth $15,1n. This

The amount of money expended by
