STUCK In THE SLOT.

serious DefeCt In the construction
of the Seventh Street Gable
Line.
Horsemen who coursed their steeds
on East Seventh street yesterday after
noon amused themselves by dropping
their carriage wheels into the cable slot
and watching the policemen toll, sweat
and swear to get them out. All along
the line carriage wheels were constantly
dropping into the treacherous slot, and
several people narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injury from being thrown to the
ground. Patrolmen who wrestled all
day with frightened horses and bro ken
buggies were of the opinion that Mr..
Lowry had made poor selection from a
job lot of slots, and that something
would have to be done to avert such ac-
cidents in the future. In many places
the opening for the grip is over an inch
in width.

THE DEMAND FOR SPEED.

The Railway Age remarks that a speed
of 100 miles an hour is believed by Hunt
ington to be entirely practicable, pro-
vided the necessary and expensive
preparations for it in the character of
both roadway and equipments are made.
He proceeds to cite the principal sources
of danger from fast running which now
exist and can be, to large extent, at
least, removed by sufficient expenditure
of skill and money, and claims that with
proper alignment and with tracks and
rolling stock IN perfect order, there is no
more danger of derailment at 100 miles
an hour than at the speed now run every
day on American roads. 1t may be that
this tremendous speed will eventually
become of ordinary occurrence. but at
the present time the general feeling
among railway men and other people is
that our fast trains are fast enough, and,
indeed, it is a question whether the
majority of people, railway men in
cluded, would not feel little more
comfortable in their minds if the pace at
which they are sometimes carried was
not quite SO great.
Very high speed is an expensive
luxury for the railways, and the public
does not show any inclination to pay
more for it, but, on the other hand, is
continually calling for lower rates. And
yet it is a fact that the roads which
make the quickest time make the most
money; they secure the travel. The
present is fast age; speed is the sine
qua non. Men snap their fingers at
disaster and death, and railroad men
and ship builders are trying to met the

Primitive TeIegraphy.

Olaf Searle SIT in his Office yesterday dis
cussing many Interesting topics in hisusual
interesting way. A card was lying on his desk
on which appeared the word Budstikken. as
the name Of the Scandinavian paper. Mr.
Searle was asked what the word meant He
replied: 1T is a Norwegian word. 200 years
old at least. In those days when the coasts of
Norway were ravaged BY pirates. the inhab-
itants had to resort to all sorts of devices to
warn those at distance of the approach Of
these piratioal craft When one was seen on
the horizon man went up TO the top Of a
mountain, where he lighted beacon Ere.
TINS Guild be seen for q long distance, and
was known to be a warning. When it was
seen in the distance another fire was lighted
on another hill, until all over tns country
fires blazed from every hill top, and the peo-
pie prepared TO defend themselves.
They also had a system Of messengers.
The man who FIRST sighted the sail would take
an arrow and send it 20 his neighbors. From
town 70 town this arrow was sent until ali
were warned. These were rather primitive
ways Of telegraphipg, but were 20 sfecteA
that In the course Of twenty-four hours al
Norway knew of tbs approach Of pirates.
This system Of spreading the news vss called

used as a name for newspapers Ia the cid

WHY SILK IS SO EXPENSIVE.

To produce sufficient silk to make a
dress requires more time and capital
than most people would imagine. If we
take one and quarter pounds as the
weight of pure silk required, this would
be equal to two pounds of raw silk. To
produce two pounds of raw silk would
require the entire silk obtained from
1000 to 5000 worms, allowing a per-
centage for death by disease and other
casualties.
1t may be interesting to state that
these young worms when newly Matched
would scarcely weigh one-quarter of an
ounce, yet in the course of their life,
which only lasts some thirty to thirty
five days, they viii consume about 800
to 400 pounds of leaves and increase in
in weight about 5000 times.
Consumers of silk will not wonder at
its high value when they consider that
to raise two pounds Of raw silk so much
time and money is required. Besides
the original cost of the eggs or young
worms, they require feeding at regular
intervals daily with Usage or berry leaves,
and consume the above weight Of leaves
during their life, says the Textile Mer-
curry. This is large item of expense if
the cultivator does not grow aud gather
his own leaves, but is compelled TO
purchase them.

A Noted Southern Author.

From the Denver News.
Doubtless those who had the better
fortune of reading Mr.. Cables fascinat-
ing tales were disappointed in the APP
pearance on the lecture platform last
night of the man whom they are led to
associate with the tall, dark, graceful
and suave southerner. MIR. Cable is not
a man whom you would pick out of
crowd as from the south. He is 40 years
old, of medium stature. slender figure
and with rather an air of awkwardness
when unoccupied. He wears a full
black beard, slightly touched with gray.
and has dark eyes and heavy eyebrows
and high forehead surmounted by a
head of rich black hair. His voice is not
of the rich, mellow order, but is light
and almost feminine in its tone; it is not
thin, though, and he used it admirably
in the impersonation of his various char
acters. 1t was impossible for him to
mimic the gruff, bass voice of an Eng
lishman, but the negro dialect and We
mans shrill tones seemed to come to him
naturally.

GY NO RESPECTOR OF
COLOR.

1t is becoming more apparent every
day that the colored people of the south
are afflicted with set of political dema-
gogues just as the white people are ex-
tant. For instance, it is given out that
the colored Republicans of Alabama
have resolved to fight the confirmation
of l.. E. Parsons as United States attor-
ney for the Northern District of Ala
bama, and also that of Benjamin Wal
ker as United States marshal for the
Southern district. Parsons and Walker
were leaders in organizing the White
Republican league in Alabama several
months ago. The negroes at a public
meeting in Birmingham have already
sent on protest to Washington saying
that the confirmation of these men
would be direct insult to the colored
voters of the country, and an indorse-
ment of the White Republican league.
The attempt to draw the color line in the
party by white demagogues was repre-
hensible and should not have succeeded,
as it did not. but the colored demagogues
are not gong to help matters one whit
by counter prescription. 1t is not likely
that the protest mentioned will be given
any very serious consideration at the
white house

SENTIMENT, OR WHAT?

Anent the spirited rivalry going on be-
tween a number of southern communi-
ties over the location of the last resting
place of the late Jefferson Davis, the
Kansas City Journal observes: "New
Orleans desires that the remains of JET
ferson Davis shall be permanently buried
there. Atlanta disputes New Orleans
claim and Richmond disputes Atlanta's.
Numerous other southern cities likewise
aspire to the honor OF providing a tomb
for the dead leader of the Confederacy,
and all are willing to furnish monu-
ments. Mr.. Davis family, however,
will probably take plenty of time to con-
slider. New York secured the privilege,
several years ago, of erecting a monu-
ment over the remains of General Grant.
and after the privilege was secured neg
lected to take advantage of it." AS has
before been remarked in this last con-
nection it is safe to predict that half a
dozen monuments will be erected to the
memory of the southern chieftain before
the country's trade metropolis fulfills its
voluntary pledge by building monu-
mont at the grave of General Grant.
The greatest city in the country can
well afford to place at the tomb of the
country's greatest benefactor monu-
ment that should tower above and COM
pletely eclipse all other like memorials
in the land: in fact, it cannot afford not
to do so and maintain the respect of the
country; but will il?

HOW MANY DELEGATES

The secretary of the immigration Blu
reau in this city has received several let
tiers from different parts of the state
within the last day or two inquiring
how many representatives each county
or municipality will be entitled to in the
coming convention to be held here
January 18th, and he requests the EAGLE
to state that he has no authority to say
how many; that that matter is left to
each county and city or town to deter
mine for itself. 1t is desired and highly
important that the delegations be as
large as is deemed expedient by each
county to send, for obvious reasons.
But it will be the province of the con-
vention when organized to determine
the proportion of votes each county shall
be entitled to on questions demanding
vote in detail should any such questions
arise. We would say, therefore, don't
be backward about sending large delega-
tons from every county, remembering
that Sin the multitude Of counsel there

The General Statutes.

From the Topeka Democrat
The first volume of the general stat
utes of 1889 will be ready for delivery
soon after New Years. The last type
were set and the last plates made a day
or two ago, and the most of the work is
now printed and in the bindery. This
volume makes 1,160 pages, 4,077 para
graphs, and ends with the chapter pre-
ceding the code of civil procedure. Type
is set for over 100 pages of the second
volume and the completion of the book
will be expedited in every way possible.
The second volume will probably be the
larger by 100 pages or more, but it was
thought best to make the division SO as
to have the several codes together.

1MM1GRAr1oN ENDORSED.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
From all quarters of the state comes
the echo, immigration. Once more
Kansas is awake and the essential ele-
ments Of growth are being terminated
with life. The sleepy organism of an
overweight prosperity is reviyified.
The aftersleep and fitful day dream con-
sequent upon an overload of providen-
tial favors Of which we have all gorged
ourselves, is being broken and Kansas is
coming out of the mist into the morning
of day, resplendant in her own wealth
and gorgeous in her intrinsic riches. We
are casting off the relapse of our conta-
gion and the invigorating pulsation of
healthy blood again throbs through our
veins and along all the arteries of bust
ness and commerce. The dizzy heights
where the boom builder makes his nest
up near the moon, has had the props
sawed out from under them, and the
loud coplunk of his fall was heard in the
land. The inflated pelt of the mother of
visions has been punctured, and we see
what we have in the stead of what we
have not. We now look at great loads
of rich realities and not mountains of
visions. "The winter of our discomfort"
has turned to glorious summer,
and all the clouds that lowered
upon our house in the deep
bosom of the ocean buried" Soon ''our
brows will be bowed with victorious
wreaths." For where the potatoe, the
mushmelon and the squash in album
dance grow from the sprout there will
be lot of little duckling booms hatch
ing out and the Tapping of the wings of
the old father gander will soon be re-
quired to keep the little boomlings from
out way up yander.
Yes, Kansas is coming to herself, and
when once more she takes her old time
gait of doing things she will not have
foe feet enough to catch her. She is IN
the budding season Of new cycle of
prosperity. From boundary to center
she Is wrapped in the robes Of the we'd
ding feast and stretching forth her glow
ing cheeks to be kissed by the pearly
lips Of the bride of the not distant future.
She hears the happy chorus from mil
lions born, that Kansas is queen for
wheat and king for corn. There is only
one thing that can stop immigration
coming to Kansas and that is to let it go
else. Every body organize
and come to the state convention at
on June IS, and we will have
people sleeping all around our straw
stacks in two years. WHYNOT.
