FORTY-EIGHT PER CENT.
Wichita Making Good to Her Claim as a
Jobbing Center.

For year, or year and half, past
business men, all over the country, have
been watching closely the clearing house
reports of all the western cities
where booms were enjoined. Many OF
the longest headed and most reliable
heads of great monetary enterprises de-
clared that no city could survive the
shrinkage which must, logically, follow
the extravagant initiation engendered by
boom. Chicago and Minneapolis had
survived without marked loss such
seasons of speculation but that these two
cities were exceptionally located with
reference to vast territories and particu-
lar products which they dominated.
Especially have Duluth, Los Angeles,
Denver and Wichita been watched by
these men. Every week, for the
time mentioned, have the clearing
house reports of these cities
named been scanned 1t is useless
to deny that for several months Wichita
oftener showed decrease than she did
an increase. To hold her own in the
clearing house and in her weekly clear
ings, an immense volume of new bust
ness must be found to take the place of
that which was represented by the real
estate deals. Her people not only ap-
preciated this necessity, but went to
work, and with mighty will, to encom-
pass greater volume Of business and to
secure such enterprises as should hold
the situation until reaction had spent its
force and prosperity should again be
ours. How sure, how glorious has been
her triumph, need not be cited. For
weeks our clearings have been showing
an increase over the volume of that of
the year previous, until last week, or but
five days of last week, shows an increase
of forty-eight per cent.
The forebodings touching Los Angeles
and Duluth, ard some of the other BOOM
ing cities, seem to have been realized.
Denver and Wichita alone have
held their own and continued to
show an advance. Some of the
towns have been dropped from the
clearing tables entirely so great has been
their shrinkage. Los Angeles shows e
decrease in her clearing last week Of
sixty-nine and three-tenths per cent,
and Duluth forty-four and six-tenths de-
crease. Topeka is behind her last years
business four and nine -tenths per cent,
and so on.
1t is unnecessary to tell our own people
that within the next two months Wichita
is going to be at or near the head of the
column in the amount of her increase.
To say nothing of the continued and
rapidly increasing business Of the
Wichita stock yards and the new pack
ing plant, which will be at work in a
very few days, and nothing of our con-
increasing iobbing trade, there
is a great and magnificent crop to handle.
Conscious of her superior advantages,
knowing Of her solid attachments and
commanding position her people have
never asked odds or sympathy, but in
the great days which are coming she
will stand ready to help and encourage
all her neighbors.

a NEW COLONIZATION SCHEME.

w. L. Eagleson. the well known col
ored Democrat of Topeka, says the Dem
ocrat of that city, is the prime mover of
a scheme to induce members of his race
in the south to enligrate to Oklahoma,
and has issued and had distributed
throughout the south n circular in
which he sets forth the inducements held
out to them by that country to secure
for themselves homes at nominal cost.
He makes personal appeal to them urg-
them to "make new start; give your
selves and children new chances in a
new land where you will not be mo-
Tested and where you will be able to
think and vote as you please" This is
certainly patriotic appeal, but such
expressions are in odd contrast with the
political doctrines and practices of the
party with which Mr.. Eagleson
has been affiliated for some
time. Sentiment aside, however,
and looked at it from practical matter
of-fact stand point, it is not clear that it
is the best thing for the colored people
of the south to do. The great majority
of those whose condition would suggest
some such move for their material bet
terment cannot make that or any other
move without assistance. And they
would not only require the means neces-
sary TO get to the new country but also
enable them to build homes and make
ready for earning living and to main
tain them the while. True, there are
goodly number of colored people
throughout the south who are in condi-
ton to go anywhere and maintain them
selves, but they have their houses and
are comfortably situated where they are,
and it would be a hard matter to con-
vince such that they could better their
condition by moving. Much might be
said on the subject: it is prolific one
theorizing and moralizing, but an I'M
limited amount of either, or both, would
have no appreciate effect in practical
way, and it is an intensely practical one.

Hon. c. p Burlington, editor of the

couple of forlorn and empty beer kegs
which ode-not kegs-we reproduce

lated that they were only two, which
speaks well for Cherryvale considering
the season of the year, the closeness of
the national day and the proximity of
Missouri. 1t has been so long, however.

would be puzzled to tell whether they
are round or square-that many of our

Cause and Effect
From the State Journal

from the state Journal
The ordinary Republican majority in
Kansas was. some years ago, about
10000. Certain Kansas City Democratic
papers began crusade against Kansas
Republicanism and the majority rose TO
50, 900. Another Kansas City paper Is
now busy trying 10 overthrow the es-
tablished policy of the state in regard to
the sale Of liquor. If the matter could
ever be brought to vote. it would proba-
bly, result in the endorsement of prohibit
ton by 150. 900 majority.

The papers of Texas, in the eastern
portion of the state contiguous 10 Sabine
Pass, are expecting great things to come
of the deep harbor convention to be held
at Beaumont next week in the interest
of that enterprise. As has been sug-
gested in these columns before, there Is
no doubt that the demands Of commerce
in the west and southwest will ere long
cali for a number of deep harbors on the
Texas gulf coast, but it is possible that
the early completion of the first one,
now so important and necessary, may be
jeopardized by conflict between rival
localities. The EAGLE hopes not, and TO
prevent such thing suggests spirit of
conservatism on the part of the rivals
and their supports.
