a SENS TIONAL LIBEL SUIT

The Howard libel case now on trial at
Jackson, Tenn, has ELECTED more uni
versal and widespread interest through
out the south than any similar action for
a quarter of 4 century. Howard, the
plaintiff in the case. brought suit for
damages for an alleged libel, perpe-
trated, he AYERS, through envy or jeal-
ousy. He is pastor of the First Baptist
church in jackson, Tenn, and has held
prominent position as pulpit orator
and divine for q number OF years, and as
such is extensively known personally as
well as by reputation in most of the
southern states. The line of defense
pursued has been to establish the fact
that Howard is an imposter, that he is
now and has been for years living under
an assumed name, his original and right
name being Hewlett, though he had
lived for a time several years ago
under the alias of howliIt. To
establish these points a score or more of
witnesses, residents of London. England.
where he claims TO have been born. and
lived in childhood, testified by deposi-
ton. Also, number of prominent citi-
zens Of South Carolina and Georgia,
where he formerly lived, gave testimony
in the same line, and also TO his erratic
career while in those sections, both as
an attorney, politician, school teacher,
etcetera.
The plaintiff in action, who is also de-
PENDANT in sense, claims that he car
prove an allibl to all these damaging al
legations, If he can, and succeeds in es-
tabliShing that all the testimony against
him was the result of mistaken identity,
1t will be one of the most remarkable
instances OF the successful operations of
q double on record. The defense to the
pending suit has finished its testimony
and the prosecution begun.

THE SANTA FE AND WICHITA.

The Kansas City Times and the To-
peka Capital, in their issues of Friday,
pretend to quote a batch of threats made
by high Santa Fe official against Wich-
tia. That prominent Santa Fe official, if
not myth, is fool, and in the interest
of the stockholders of that road should
have his head Topped off instanter. We
were ever made by Santa Fe official,
high or low, but that the two papers
mentioned simply he'd for the sake of a
point against Wichita. There is no man
connected with the traffic management
of the Santa Fe who does not know that
the patronage Of Wichita's shippers is
Just as important to the Santa Fe as that
road is to Wichita.
Another insane gag gotten off by the
papers named, we desire to squelch here
and now. These papers, with great
glee, declare that Wichita rates will be
given to every county seat in the state,
at least ''to all of Wichita's competi-
tors, which will completely paralyze
of good clean paper to answer such i'm
beetle drivel, but it may be that the
readers of the papers mentioned are ca
pable of being misled by such sappy stu
pidity. Now Wichita is not Directing
and does not care if all the towns in the
state are given the rates awarded by the
commission. The decision refers to GER
tain classes which no other city in the
state handles to any appreciate amount.
May we ask these impoverished intel
lectualities what other town in Kansas
handles cured meats by the car load?
dressed meats by the car load? fertilizers
by the car load? manufactured sash,
doors and blinds by the car load? orna-
mental iron castings by the car load?
hard woods for manufacturing purposes
by the car load? manufactured soaps
and vinegars by the car load? all
characters of wholesale groceries both in
and out by the car load? feathers and
fruits and sugars and spices and coffees
and papers, hardware and queensware
and dry goods by the car load? AS long
as no other town west of Kansas City
handles these classes in these amounts
what difference can it make to Wichita
if every town in Kansas has like rate?
The railroads entering here would no
doubt grant Wichita a New York and
San Francisco rate, cut square in two,
on seal skins by the car load, anda tenth
of a cent per ton per mile rate on silk
worm eggs, by the car load, without
etfecting the income of the roads or
helping Wichita, for the simple reason
that Wichita is not wholesaling or
manufacturing in these lines.
If the readers of the Capital and Times
can stand it and their editors can COM
prehend what it means, we suggest that
they talk common sense and less mag
goty, gross-headed bosh.
Wichita eagle., 1889-06-30
PLEASE TALK SENSE.

Certain Kansas editors who three
months ago were writing long disquisi-
tons on Wichita rates are gradually
awakening to the fact that they did not
know what they were talking about.
The EAGLE told them as much at the
time. Later some delegations claiming
to represent number of cities in Kan
sas, took up the question In a conven-
ton composed of themselves. The
more they talked the more they were
convinced that they had nothing to talk
about. Before an adjournment was had
an Atchison representative arose to ex-
plain that he seemed to be present on
general principles, as he found that
Atchison was better off in rates than he
had supposed; however, before sitting
down he demanded Mississippi river rates
for Atchison as the only rate which would
better their condition. The Topeka Cap
ital has also talked very wisely and
learnedly about Wichita rates and still
seems inclined to talk. The Capital Is
another paper that knew nothing of the
question at issue and probably does not
yet. The truth is Topeka has had no
cause of complaint. The Capitals
high sounding talk about like rate for
every point in the state without refer
ence to tonnage wouldn't make an aver
age talk for an idiot school. How would
the Capital take to law which would
prevent it from making reduced rates to
news dealers, news boys, clubs, etc., etc.,
or to law which would compel it to pay
per pound the same freight on ITS three
or four car loads 2of paper which it re-
ceives at single shipment, that is paid
by the patent country paper which re-
ceives a half dozen bundles at time?
Such laws would send Mr.. Capital out of
business, and such rulings as it called
for on freight rates would not only fall
as a direct penalty upon the people but
utterly annihilate every Jobbing and
manufacturing business in the state.

They are stalking out new town to be

a new town by the name of Orlando has
been laid out on the Santa Ee twenty-five
miles north of Guthrie.
Volume one number one, of the Okla

1t is now stated that it is settled fact
that Hon. w. T. Hackney will establish a

with him Hon. Horace Speer.
Guthrie is to celebrate the fourth month
of its existence on the I'D of August.
President Harrison, his cabinet. and all
the senators and congressman will be in

infant, but 1t was brought up on the bottle
and is bound to flourish.
A. C. Traveller: The formerly OF Kan

mayors of Guthrie, Kingfsher and Okla

Kansas men.
Guthrie Herald: West Guthrie was con-
siderably excited yesterday afternoon over
a disturba raised by j. u. Studson and

beastly intoxicated and tried TO run things

KANSAS CITY INTERFERENCE IN
KANSAS.
From the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
Some of the Kansas papers have az
ways found in the interference" OF
Kansas City in Kansas affairs cause OF
anger and resentment. Every time
they think of it they get the hydropho-
bia and troth at the mouth. But they
make themselves ridiculous, only not
feared The rabid communication in
the Wichita EAGLE, reproduced yester-
day in the Times, was a very violent
case.
Well, why should we not interfere in
Kansas affairs? We are proud of Kan
sas. We want to see her prosper and
become great. The Times takes great
interest in Kansas affairs and fights her
battles because it has right to. 1t has
the largest newspaper circulation in the
state. The people read it and like it or
they would not subscribe for it. Why,
indeed, should we not interfere?
1t is very foolish, this jealousy of
some of the aspiring Kansas towns of
Kansas City. Kansas City does not mind
it and the people OF Kansas laugh at it.
They know that The Times has done
more for Kansas than all the Kansas
newspapers combined. They know that
l. he LINES mas UtOuISd hdISds "iittt
Kansas would never have been heard of
otherwise. They know that Kansas de-
ponds upon The Times great general cir
culation for the advertisement of its ad-
vantages, and, while they read their
home papers for local news, they look
upon The Times as the great promoter of
the progress of Kansas. That Is why
every body in Kansas reads it and why
they like to have The Times take an in
terest in their affairs.
The people Of Kansas have had cause
more than once to be thankful
for the interference of The
Times. When damaging reports have
been sent abroad it has been The
Times that has corrected them. When
the material interests OF the state have
been assailed it has been the Times that
defended them. And whenever there
has been an opportunity 10 boom her re-
sources it has been the Times that has
given the boom general circulation. Il
was the Times that organized the Okla
bona movement and fought for it until
Oklahoma was opened, and Kansas and
Kansas towns received the benefits
Even Wichita, the uoisiest OF all the
Kansas towns In its attack On Kansas
CITY. received such a boom as she had
never had before, and ID now boasting
that she will be the supply center for
the new country. And ever Wichita
will concede that the Times was factor
in the opening Of Oklahoma

From private letters from central Tex
as it is learned that the crops of that Sec
ton have been seriously damaged by re-
cent heavy and continuous rains. In
some localities farmers have almost
abandoned hope of realizing anything
their fields. either grain or cotton, their
principal crop. Texas seems to suffer
worse by the extremes Of weather than
almost any other state. Only year or
two ago the western part of the state
emerged from protracted and disas-
trous drouth and since then it has had
large and its resources so varied that
these extremes in localities has but little
effect upon it as whole.

If the Indians who claim interests in
the lands of the territory that are de-
sired to be opened to white settlement
are smart they will take the hint thrown
out by Judge Perkins in his speech at
Guthrie Thursday night, and meet the
commission that will go there in few
dgys to treat with them in a friendly
and conciliatory spirit. If the PROPOSE
tions submitted for the government
should be rejected by the Indian claim
ants it is very doubtful that they will re-
ceive any offers or assistance, in the mat
ter of compensation for the lands in
question, from the government. Judge
Perkins understands the question and its

thereon have especial significance.
