FROM THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.
SANTA FE, Kan, July 10.

OANTA TE, hdu.s 0ulS 10.
| To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Not having been able to write you an
| account of the passing events of this
county for some time will now try to
inform the outside world of the doings
| In the southwest part Of the state of
Kansas. Our farmers are very busy
harvesting very fine crop of wheat,
oats and barley. and a more jubilant set
of men cannot be seen anywhere than
are the farmers of the Thirty-second
judicial district Corn is in fine con-
dition, and quite a large acreage is
planted. Perhaps no country in the state
has been more favored with rains this
summer than has the southwest. Last
night it rained all night and
in the last two weeks there
has been more than five inches Of rain
fall, SO that now the crops are insured,
and if the Wichita & Western railroad
was completed west from Mullensville to
the coal fields of Colorado, thus giving
Us direct line to Wichita, the CONNER
cial center of Kansas, so that our far
mers, mechanics, merchants and others
could avail themselves OF the excellent
markets of the great city Of the plains.
we would consider ourselves very for
tunate. indeed.
About two weeks ago our city was
thrown into quite a surprise, created by
reason OF the resignation of W. E.
Banker of the office of county clerk of
| this, Haskell county; but our loss is
Wichita's gain, for Mr.. Banker and
family left for the commercial center
where he will in future make his home.
We were sorry to lose Mr.. B. and family
from our community; he was a good
citizen and an excellent officer. How
ever, the place which he resigned has
been supplied by the board of county
commissioners by the appointment of
Mr.. II. S. Manuel, late deputy county
treasurer Of this county. Mr.. Manuel is
good penman, frst-class business
man and will make good officer. He
has been deputy county clerk OF
deputy county treasurer since the
dozen counties was organized. He is a
sturdy Republican, and is in every re-
spect qualified to fill the Office. His APP
pointment to the office of county clerk
showed the excellent judgment of our
county commissioners. Mr.. Manuel is a
candidate for the Office of county clerk
for the ensuing two years, subject to the
decision of the county Republican noun
mating convention. Yours, truly,
Rex.

THE WHEAT CROP.
From the COurier-Journal.

From the Courier-JoUrnal.
Europe is watching with considerable
interest the result of the wheat harvest
in this country, as she may have TO de-
pend upon the United States this year,
for a larger percentage than usual of the
bread supply, since her home yield Will
suffer a considerable deficit.
In Western Europe the prospects for
wheat are better than usual, but in Rus
STA. Austria, Turkey and the Balkan
states, where the bulk of the cereal for
export is raised, it is certain that there
will be q considerable shortage. In
Russia, which Is our great rival in the
European markets, there will be an
especial diminution. The Indian yield
is much less than usual, and Australia
will have a deficit
In this country the crop will not by
any means reach the estimates of a
month since, although the yield will
probably be greater than the average.
In the southwest there has been a fine
product, but that section is really not
an important factor in the wheat
market. On the Pacific slope the har-
vest has shown that previous estimates
were much too high, and in the two
Dakotas it is SAID there will be a short
age of thirty million bushels.

OPEN TO THE WORLD.
The Kansas State Fair Lets Down Its
Bars to the Universe.

The eyes Of the whole nation are now
turned toward Kansas, owing to the
superiority of her prospects for grand
crops, and it is to the interest of every
Kansan to put forth his best efforts to
make the state fair this year the great
est advertisement ever sent out from the
''Sunfower" state. The State Fair asso-
citation offers for county displays of farm
products four premiums, 5000, $3.50, 800
and $50, respectively, and every county
in the state should make an exhibit, not
merely to compete for these prizes, but
to have their own locality represented.
1t will be an advertisement for the sew
eral counties, and aid in advertising Kan
sas to the hosts of visitors from abroad
who will be here. This is the year of all
years to show to the world that Kansas
is still in the lead.
For display of products by an
individual (the material may be
gathered up all over the county,
three premiums are offered, as follows:
$75, $50 and $50. This should be an in
centive to the farmer to prepare good
collection from his county fair and bring
or send to Topeka.
The dairy men will be in clover this
year. In addition to the liberal preml-
ums offered by the fair association the
following specials are added: The Amer
lean Short Horn Breeders association
offer $3.50 as a premium for the short
horn class for the production of milk
and butter. The Holstein-Freisian Asso-
citation of America offer two special pre-
miums, aggregating $500, and gold med
ais valued at $780, The Hereford Cattle
Breeders association offer special prizes,
aggregating $175, for the best display in
this class.
The premiums are all liberal and many
additions have been made on the old list
The list for 1889 may be had free upon
application to the secretary, E. G.. Moon,
OF Topeka. Every one interested in
Kansas and successful state fair should
send for copy. The novelties and spe-
cial attractions will be numerous and of
the best character, and will be announced
later

JUSTICE VS.. OFFICIAL DUTY,

1t IS the duty of civil officers ordinari-
ly to protect persons in their custody as
prisoners against undue violence from
others, but when such person thus in
custody is known to be guilty of deliber-
ate murder or other equally heinous
crime, and it becomes necessary TO
jeopardize their own lives or the lives of
others, or to resort to other questionable
methods to protect such an one, the Off
Ger SO doing transcends the bounds of
duty and oftimes actually thwarts the
ends of justice. These observations are
suggested by the Kansas City incident
mentioned in yesterdays dispatches,
wherein burly brute who was taken in
the act of house breaking, fell upon the
officer who was quietly conducting him
to prison, and wantonly stabbed him to
death, and the murderer saved from Just
and speedy vengeance at the hands of a
mob by other officers who took in charge
and were conveying him to prison, by
practicing a deception. The killing
was clear case of MUIR
der perpetrated without the slightest
provocation, and by the Missouri laws
under which he will be tried he will
probably be convicted and pay the ex-
IRENE penalty, but if this shall be tie re-
suit all that can be claimed for it is that
the law has been upheld and indicated.
1t will cost the people of that state a con-
siderable sum of money and some Of its
citizens considerable loss Of time to con-
Wet and execute the criminal, when the
safety of the community against such
offenses hereafter would have been bet
ter served, the ends of justice just as eff
fectively met and no cost attached to
any one if the miserable miScreant had
fallen into the hands of the outraged
citizens immediately after the crime and
by them been summary disposed Of
The EAGLE does not favor mob violence
as remedy for evils that can be ad-
equately dealt with by due process of
law. but there are occasions when the
law fails to adequately meet the require
ments OF the case, even if ITS full pen
alties are imposed. The Topeka incident
of few weeks ago was such an &C.
casion, and the Kansas City affair of
Monday is another.

The announcement made public last
week that the Haytien revolution had
collapsed by the surrender of Legltime
at Port au Prince, it seems, was a little
premature. Legitime may not be now,
may never be the legitimate ruler of the
black republic, but he appears 10 be mas
ter of the situation at p esent. This
nonsensical contest has been carried quite
far enough, it seems to us, and should be
stopped, as it can be, in short order, by
friendly interference on the part of the
representative nations who have interests
in the country.

Having entered the list of contestant

Having entered the list of contestants
for the holding Of the worlds fair in
1892, Chicago will no doubt lead the
others a lively chase after the honor
There is no question about Chicago's
ability to entertain the occasion, and as
far as our own country is concerned that
point is more accessible to a greater area
and number of people than either Of the
eastern cities mentioned in that connec-
ton. Boston, New York, Philadelphia
are all clamoring for it, and spirited
contest between them will strengthen
Chicago's chances.

Another New Locomotive.


Another revolutionary locomotive has
been devised. 1t is to have two boilers.
one above the other, and engine and ten
der are 10 be encased in q shell OF thin
iron, tapering off TO point in front. the
whole machine being seveuty-tive feet
long and weighing in working order
ninety-one and one-half tons. Thus il
viii he twenty-five feet longer and
twelve tons heavier than the biggest
European locomotive vet turned out. Il
is to have two pairs of cylinders fifteen
and half By nineteen and half inches
and four coupled driving wheeles nine
feet nine and one-half inches in diane
ter, or more than twice the size of our
large passenger engine drivers. Great
power and great speed are both claimed
for this novel combination OF parts and
proportions, the ordinary gait being
moderately placed at seventy-five miles
an hour, but this being capable OF IN
crease TO ninety-two miles per hour.
This engine has been patented in France
by Hungarian engineer named u. Ais
Bestbv.

Remarked one Of the Indian chiefs in
the council at Cheyenne river agency
''If we sell our cattle we save one COW
and there will be more, but if we sell
our land there will be none left. The
land doesn't breed" Quite true as well
as philosophical, but in view Of the ex-
traneous environments of the situation
the question that naturally presents
itself is, what are the Indians going to
do about it? If they accept the offer
and terms of the government they will,
besides receiving large sum in cash,
receive fee simple title to quarter sec
ton of land apiece, which is more than
they are how making profitable use of.
The Indian must give up his nomadic
habits, hard as 1t may be for him to do
SO, and conform his life to the fixed
rules of civilization, and the sooner he
can bring himself to realize the change
and accept it in good faith, the better it
will be for him.

A California judge named Eaton is
bidding for notoriety by advancing the
theory that trees along water-courses
absorb the moisture and aid in producing
drouth. If the judge it correct in his
new idiom, the system of encouraging
tree planting, inaugurated by the gov
eminent, state and national, several
years ago, should be abandoned, and in
its stead premium offered for the
destruction of timber. Your theory
would do, judge; the facts of logic and
experience are against you.

The Topeka Capital of Sunday morn
Ing favors j. II. Garfield for the position
of chancellor of the state university, and
makes a strong plea in favor of his Sc
lection by the board of regents. Has
the professor recanted his free trade
heresies, or does the mere circumstance
of his having been chosen as president
of the National teachers association
condone for that sin which, in the esti-
nation of the esteemed Capital, as well
as the balance of Republican press of
the state, disqualified him for the posi-
ton that he has held, professorship in
the university, and for which views and
opinions held and expressed by him, his
removal has been repeatedly demanded

timation of some people nothing sue

and serve formal notice to her majesty
the queen that preparation for the mar

not an event that warrants the expendi-

same time to throw out the broad hint
that little greater economy in current

be proper thing, which said NJ. P. did;

The Boston Pilot is after the mug

Egans appointment as minister to
Chill. 1t says: abraham Lincoln

to the court of Spain, a post worth
great deal more every way than that
which has been given to Mr. Egan. Carl
Schurz in 1850 was felon in the eyes of
German law, as Patrick Egan in 1889 is
one in the eyes of English law. Both
have been guilty of taking a prominent
part in American politics without
wholly forgetting that they could also
love the land of their BIRTH All Of
which has some strong bearing on the
case. And it may be observed, also,
that, as in the case of Mr.. Schurz, the
newly appointed minister to Chill has
not been recalled in answer to the sense
less clamor therefor.
