fact that among the newspapers

be worth millions to Kansas. Further

WATER. WATER EVERYWHERE.

The breaking of dams and reservoirs
in the east, that continues with such dis
trous results, cannot fail TO impress an
essentially important point upon the COM
mittees and government engineer corps
charged with the work of investigating
and planning for system of water stor-
age and irrigation for the arid regions,
and that is TO render such disasters in
the new fields impossible. With the
combined advantage of advanced science
and experience this can be done and no
doubt will
Speaking of reservoirs and the correl-
ative subject of irrigation, it is interest
ing to note the fact that the latter has
been provided for in the southwestern
quarter of this state (the portion where
it is most needed in the state) in a thor
oughly satisfactory and practicable way,
which Is at the same time alb
solutely free from danger as to
accidents and is infinitely cheaper as to
the expense of obtaining the water supply.
After Meade county had struck artesian
water in half dozen different places,
it was supposed that flowing water could
be obtained in any part of that territory,
but as no earnest efforts were made to
find it-no body boring deep enough
this supposltion remained unproven until
few days ago, when it has been chang
ed 10 an absolute fact. Richfield, Nor
ton county, with commendable enter
prise, went to work to solve the problem
and the effort of its citizens have been
crowned with success, as may be seen
from the report OF the Richfeld Repub-
Ecan.
with flowing water to the east and
west of us, and lying in the same terri
tory and with the same geological form
alton, we are sure of finding it in
Seward county, or for that matter in
any of the southwestern counties, and
all that is needed is 10 bore for it, And

REPUBLICAN MISSOURI.
'om the Emporia Republican.

From the Emporia Republican.
The New York Sun is of the opinion
that the objections of the st. Louis Re-
public to Governor Hill as presidential
candidate ought not to count, as Mis-
souri, is certain to be in the Republican
column in 1892 unless the Democrats of
that state wake up and do some hust-
ling. There is more truth in this taunt
than many suppose. The Republicans
carried ST. Louis last year by majority
of 1868, although Cleveland carried it
by 457 in 1884 The growing Republi-
can tendency in the state is shown by
the fact that it gave a Democratic ma
jority of 5S,04S in 1876; 55,043 in 1890;
80, 059 in 1884, and only 25,701 IN 1888
Since 1876 the increase of the Republi-
can vote has been over 81 900, while
the Democratic vote has increased less
than $4,000. A Democratic majority of
$4,000 would ordinarily seem very hard
TO overcome, but the tendency in that
direction has been so strong and uniform
in the past twelve years that the Demo
Gratis may well apprehend that the des-
tiny of the state Is to soon be counted in
the Republican column. 1t may not
happen in 1892, but it cannot be deferred
beyond that. and shrewd Democrats be-
gin to realize the fact. Who shall say
that this gradual gravitation toward Re-
publicanism is not largely due to the
wholesome influence of a vigorous.
strong spirited Republican neighbor-
Kansas?

Instead of four it is altogether proba-
BILE that there will be added to the great

already taking the necessary steps in
that direction and these will no doubt be
followed by Utah and New Mexico with
out waiting fol-. an enabling act as in the
case of the Dakotas. Montana and Wash
ington. Nor will it be long until the

breasts that they never earned it are
kick on giving up part to save the
whole. If in any town there is coterie
of ''chumps" who have retired from
business and look on life simply as ex-
istence, devoid of duty to the state, and
who are liked together to prevent pro-
erosion, the town bears the blame and
we read that ''the town of 'B' is gone to
seed"
1t matters not that there are hundreds
OF enterprising men, who give time and
money to build up and enrich the town,
if these human "upas" trunks standing
on the street corners fill the atmosphere
with the poison in their system, the
town becomes a synonym for decay and
lack of enterprise and the town is ac-
cursed and its values deprecated.
Considering Kansas as the town and
the towns and cities as the individuals
composing it what naturally may
Kansas expect from criticism at home?
What are we to expect from not only
holding us back, but from encouraging
our common enemy at the mouth Of the
Kaw?
We hope that every town in Kansas
will mass its wealth, study its best route
to prosperity, unite at home for building
railroads, packing plants, and other in
dustries, gather its statistics and "broad-
cast" them to the world, that emigration
and wealth mny be diffused throughout
the state that Kansas may continue its
advancing march, and at last be the
most prosperous agricultural and COM
mercial state in the union, as we now
are the proudest. Yet we know that
great exertlons must be made, that
labor. money, brain must all be used to
bring it about. Are we not ready to
make the trial and win a common vic
tory? KANzAN.

1T WOULD BE FUNNY.
From the Emporia Republican.


The Kansas City Times wants Colonel
Marsh Murdoch to run for governor on the
resubmission ticket. As Colonel Murdoch
is the original discoverer and sole propri-
etor of a Kansas rebellion. besides being
owner and editor of daily newspaper, he
is not likely to have much time for lesser
things. But the colonel is not a reSu bmis-
sionist anyhow. As we understand it, he
does not propose to conduct his rebellion
along that line The idea of the proprietor
OF the EAGLE leading Democratic resub-
mission campaign is too absurd for con-
sideration.
After having stood by the party of
Harrison and Indiana, of Plumb end
Ingalls,, of Lincoln, Lane and st. John,
for thirty odd years as voter without
having ever scratched a ticket, and as
newspaper writer for twenty-six years
without having ever bolted single can
didate of any campaign, the suggestion
of leading such forlorn hope as reSub-
mission under Democratic direction is too
funny to be even absurd.
But we are for rebellion and revolu-
ton all the same.

CALLS FOR OUR SYMPATHIES.

The Topeka Capital sends a reporter
down to Kansas City who comes back
with three or four columns Of the dark
est picture yet. He declares that there
are FIVE thousand empty houses in the
town that stole our name, and he traces
it all to the rum-drinking proclivities of
its inhabitants. He says that there are
blocks upon blocks of great six and seven
story buildings without tenant which
have been emptied because of the pres
ence of the saloons. Mortgages are be-
ing foreclosed by the thousand and val
ues have collapsed. He enumerates up
wards of eight thousand whisky soaked
idlers who hung around the saloons I'M
til their money was all gone, but who
now hang about the market places, de-
pots and corners, ragged, dirty, despond-
ent and with nothing to do. He finds
five hundred saloons whose owners and
keepers are about choosing between the
poor house and the insane asylum in
their desperation of a ruined trade. The
EAGLE has been quietly intimating for
several weeks that Kansas City, Kansas,
was getting away with her Sni Hill
namesake, but we had no idea that it
was quite SO bad as the Capital man
makes out. No wonder the Santa Fe
and Rock Island have given the place
the go-by. The wholesale liquor traffic
is still holding its own. but the patron
age is principally from Kansas. who
proposes to take what she must for the

Notwithstanding the unanimity of
the recent Republican state convention

the party's candidate for governor there
are whisperings of dissatisfaction among
some of the prominent men of that state
over his nomination for the alleged
reason that it gives him a decided ad-
vantage in the approaching contest for
United States senator. This of course is
based upon the superstition that Senator
Payne's successor will be a Republican.

An Atchison judge is reported to have

Every point developed by the trial of
Dawson, showed clearly that he is not
only william, but a coward. Because
his victim had the courage to go to him
in defense of one under his protection,
the assassin took advantage of the situa-
ton in which they were placed and
which he fancied would afford him all
needed protection before the law, and
cruelty murdered him; and because the
press of the country has spoken out in
clear and unmistakable terms in de-
the methods resorted to to defeat the
ends Of justice through the forms of
law, he vents his assassin spleen from a
position of fancied security-a verdict of
acquittal-at the mediums through
which his criminality has been laid bare,
by declaring that he would like to take

out the newspaper Offices" However
much he would like to do so he Is the
