The situation in France impresses a
correspondent who writes from Paris
most disagreeably. Prophecies of So
cialist riots and of the failure of the ex-
position on account of the general fear
throughout Europe that the persons and
property of exhibitors will be in jeop-
ardy are dolefully made and still more
dolefully commented upon. Whatever
importance may attach TO the facts, no
reign or regime since the accession of
the unhappy Louis XVI has endured
more than eighteen years, and the Third
Republic has come the last hours of its
maturity as measured upon this sinister
scale 1t is at all events painfully evil
dent that President Carnot and his adj
visers are surrounded with difficulties
that demand of them their highest abil-
lty and most unselfish patriotism. The

Evidently effort is being made to
arouse the sympathy of the people of the
country in behalf of the sugar trust.
on the ground that the members of
the combination have been swlndled
out of cool million of dollars by Mr.
Friend, who professed to have discovered
a new and cheap'way of refining sus ar,
known as the electric process. 1t would
be well for the members TO return the
tens of millions out of which they have
swindled the people by means of their
illegal, robber combination, before APP
pealing for sympathy on account of any
loss they may have sustained through
Mr.. Friend or otherwise. If the tale they
tell about him is true. 1t is only another
illustration of the bitter being bitten.
But it is most likely not true. The
whole thing is shrouded III so much
mystery and secrecy and the tales are so
improbable in themselves, that the story
has the appearance of being carefully
arranged sensational lie.

The postoffice al Wichita makes an

closed. Two carriers have been added
to the force during the year and 1t is

increased during the coming year. The
earnings OF the postoffice were sac, q02.-
:. The carriers handled 4.249. 16S
pieces of mail matter, OF which 1,6i2 Ga
were letters: 4.126 were registered let
tiers and packages, and 96,s12 were pos
tai cards. From the mail boxes there
were collected l,l94,9l2 pieces. The
total cost of the carrier system
amounted 70 81. S8s 81. The statistics
give Wichita an excellent standing with
the Department.

that be true it is useless to try and sat-
isfy the Sentinel and those who accept
its statements as true. of the untruthful-
ness of its allegations. No place in or part
of Kansas more fully appreciates the Sen
tinel's statement of fact that anything
which injuries one portion of the state
works to the injury of all of it, than
does Wichita, and the country contigu-
Gus to it, and to accuse it of circulating
or even winking at reports calculated
TO damage in any way any portion OF the
state, more particularly any part that is
tributary or accessible to it, is to accuse
it of possessing very short sighted
policy, to say the least.
Wichita has never lost an opportunity
to defend Kansas as a whole, and every
portion of it, against malignant attacks
upon it. from whatever source. We
may be accused of selhshness in this; if
so we plead guilty. Self preservation is
the first law of nature. Wichita is fully
apprised of the fact that its permanent
growth and prosperity depends upon the
prosperity of the entire country from
which it drews its support.
In this connection the EAGLE again
takes occasion to say that it is with this
last point plainly in view that it, and
Wichita, now favors the opening of the
Oklahoma country to settlement: that
such opening cannot fail to directly and
largely benefit Kansas, in affording it a
more ready market for its surplus
products for considerable length of
time, as well as attracting immigration
to the state. 50 much for the Sentinel

Let the Inquiry be Thorough.

The Railroad Grab investigation
should be of the most searching char
acter. 1t will not be enough to ascer-
tain that certain members did and GER
tain members did not know what they
were doing when they voted. 1t will
not be enough to examine the various
records, and say whether they do or
whether they do not agree that the
bill was regularly passed.
These facts would be useful to
Governor Green to enable him to veto
the bill without hurting anybody's
feelings. The Committee might sup.
ply them to him for that purpose, but
it is not really necessary that the Com
mittee should.
Governor Green should veto the bill
on its merits.
Facts Of this class only scratch the
surface of the scandal. To attempt tc
determine them and nothing more
would be to attempt to condone a
most outrageous infamy.
1t would be like abandoning an in
curry into a bold highway robbery or
the ground that the robbers had moi
succeeded in stealing anything.
An attempt has, been made to com
NIT a crime against the people of the
State. 1t is the duty of the House
through the Committee, to discover the
criminals.
To let this grab be forgotten would
be only to encourage another.
It has also been charged in Republi

bill, who We're absent from Trenton
when the vote vas taken. This charge
should be fully met and refuted.
