NOW BROTHER EDITORS.

The Wichita EAGLE can now publish
editorial after editorial in favor of resub-
mission, whereas during all the eight years
we have had the law it never did say a
word in favor of its enforcement there
fore the EAGLE has always opposed it, and
such is the case with almost every man
and paper that is now for resubmission.-
Medicine Lodge Cresset.
Intolerance has ever characterized the
prohibihonists of Kansas. 1t was but
last week that public speaker in this
city declared that the editor of the
EAGLE sympathized with whisky and
the saloon. Without doubt within an
other month it will be openly declared
that the editor of the EAGLE is the owner
of several joints and that he is carried
home in a hack bowling drunk as often
as every other night. The chances are
that L. NJ. Axline when he wrote the
above did not even pause in an attempt
TO remember what the attitude of the
EAGLE had been in the past, or what it
had or had not said touching the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. He
only felt the first touch of the inevitable
and knowing that the EAGLE had fought
the Murray law, the commissioner law,
etc, whacked,it down as a presumably
we'll known fact that it had also encour-
aged the violation of the prohibition law.
The EAGLE probably in the past SIX
months has said more for, and COM
planned more of the failure to enforce
| that law than has the Cresset in all Its
eight years of existence. The EAGLE
has stood by the enforcement of the law
and denounced joints at times and dur.
ing administrations when the sentiment
of the city was Overwhelmingly against
| it. We believe it was only last week
that we said most pointedly that
| the demand for resubmissior
| largely came OF the fact oil
the failure to enforce the law,
Now Brother Axline, and all othe,

WON'T WRECK WICHITA.

Col. Tomlinson is much more thorough
resubmissionist than Col. Murdoch. Tom
linson declares that prohibition has made
a wreck of Topeka, but Col. Murdoch will
make no such admission concerning Wich-
tia. Right there he draws the line.-Fm-
poria Republican,
Of course we could make no such ad-
mission and stick to the truth, or come
within mile of it. 1t is city of des-
tiny, predetermined and forordalned.
Its site was center before geographical
lines were drawn and before territories
or states were defined. 1t was the con-
formation of this country, which the
Lord Almighty Himself made, that de-
termined that at the confluence of the
Great and Little Arkansas rivers city
should be founded, and which also fixes
and determines the status of Wichita
as center of population and as traffic
oppolis, without reference to statutory
enactment and the finite foolishness of
Kansas Legislators. Prohibition and
Joints, Resubmission and Teetotalism,
all combined, couldd't shake, much less
wreck Wichita. All these may come
and all these may go, but Wichita will
go on forever. These things, like fog
upon the river, or like fleeting shadow
upon the landscape, may for a moment
obscure, but the unremittlng blaze OF
Wichita's sun of destiny dissipates them
as the god of day exhales the morning
dew.
Wreck Wichita, indeed. Before such
thing can come to pass state lines must
be obliterated, rivers turned from their
courses, valleys sunk from sight, and
the genial skies that hover over us be
rolled up as a scroll or stand transfixed
dome of pittiless brass.
Chicago may reach the limits of her
tributary possibilities, Kansas City halt
and wait for something 20 turn up, but
Wichita with her widening world of
wonderful wilds westward stretching to
the sunset and southwark to the waters,
will wax and wax whoever or whatever
else wrecks.

A GAME OF BLUFF.

Are NJ. NJ Murdoch and the resubmis-
sion crowds at Wichita and Leavenworth
the leaders of and dictators Of policy IN the
Republican party?-Medicine Lodge Cres-
set,
All that has been heard of yet from
the politicians and political editors of the
state and from all the public meetings
held by prohibitionists is bluff. It's a
bluff game" with them all. Both Uni
ted States senators pooh-pooed the Re-
bellion, openly declaring as they went
sailing off to Washington that there was
not thing in Resubmission. The SUI
preme judges, in written out interviews,
endeavored to give out the impression
that in their judgment the heavens were
as liable to fall as that ResubmIssion
should come. The state officers and
all the hangers on have stood
posing about the capitol declaring
that there is no sentiment in the
state asking another vote and that the
state is prospecting and the highest prices
are ruling under prohibition while the
law is a complete, perfect success, OBJ
served and obeyed everywhere except at
Wichita. The state ring organ and all
the county ring organs take up the cue,
and echo the cry and lie, until an out
side or an uninterested person would be
led to conclude that Kansas and Iowa,
the two prohibition states Of the west,
were really more prosperous and flour
ishIng than Nebraska. Texas, Colorado,
Missouri, and the other local option
states which surround them.
Its all game of bluff. sim
ply bluff, whereby it is pro-
posed to smash the Rebellion and snuff
out Resubmission at one and the same
time by supposed preponderance of
weight and simultaneous flourish of
official bazoos.
The Cresset in the above extract is but
initiating the trumpet and bluff act. AS
for the men and elements named being
the leaders and dictators of the policy of
the Republican party, they have just as
much right to be as the other crowd
which we name, and better right if
they reflect more honestly the demands
and sentiments of the great body of the
party. As for the EAGLE and Wichita,
no man, not even the prohibitionists of
this city, will assert that the EAGLE fails
in representing the great majority sentl-
ment of not only the Republican party in
Wichita, but of all of the people of this

NOBLE PRENTIS' LAUGH.

Tomlinson is actually more different
kinds of fool than anybody ever saw.
Murdoch is the laughing stock of the state.
Judge Foster has always been in favor OF
whisky and now makes an unexampled
spectacle of himself.-Noble Prentis In
Kansas City Star.
In the light of Mr.. Prentis' uniform
political success, C0 or taking his infalli-
BILE political opinions @ of the past as a
standard, and the above expression
may rather be accepted as an omen of
encouragement than otherwise. How
ever, if Mr.. Noble Prentis has been duly
authorized to laugh for the whole state,
and he really enjoys his own cachina-
tons, we advise him to improve the
shining hours, Tor the laugh on the other
side is not far distant, and it will be lit
tie short of guffaw.

ASSOCIATED PRESS CHESTNUTS.

From the Leavenvorth sun.
A travelling man brings the informa-
ton from Kentucky, which state he
has for many years been travelling
about, that no more peaceful local
ity exists III the United States than the
locality referred to as the battle ground
of the Brumfield- Mccoy fued, and the
publications sent throughout the United
States were base ISLANDERS on law abid-
ing people. These penny-a-liners at
Huntington, Charleston and other points,
who are imposing on the eastern press,
ought to be exposed. There are no re-
cent outbreaks in the Hatfield Mccoy
war: in fact, it is ended. The attempt
of the correspondents to connect the
Hattields with the alleged Lincoln coun-
" feud was absurd, for the Hatfields
live on the Kentucky border, and are 100
miles from Lincoln county" 1t is be-
coming as popular for the associated
press TO state that the Hatfield McCoys
are killing each other, as 1t is for the
same associated press to state that Tas-
colt, Bender ct al. have been caught.

THE WEST AND THE SPEAKER
SHIP.

From the Globe Democrat.
According to the Philadelphia Bulletin
the west is showing an aggressive dls-
position" in the contest for the speaker
SHY. That paper arrives at this conclu-
sion partly on account OF the fact that
''that section (the west) has not less than
four candidates in the field, and partly
because Of its belief that the west ''derl-
siyely" calls Mr.. Reed an eastern can
didate." The Bulletin says ''there is no
legitimate occasion or excuse for thus
sectional feeling" and contends that
"there has been no issue in the contest
which arrays the interests of the west
against the east, but adds that feeling Is
nevertheless there. at least SO far as the
west is considered. Moreover, the same
paper tells US that this is "by no means
new feeling: it has been manifest to
every observer of our politics for the
past twenty-five years" In fact, If that
journal "sizes up" the situation correctly,
ever "since the war the west has come
to be something of the same preponder-
ant force in our politics that the south
was before the war;
1t would be easy enough to show that
this accusation Of sectionalism against
the west is altogether extravaganza and
misleading. It's utter baselessness could
be readily proven by the very case on
which the charge is based. The
Republican party has chosen six
speakers thus far, but neither most
Of them nor even half of them
were western men. In fact four of
them-Banks, Pennington, Grow and
Blaine-belonsed to the East. leaving
only two-Colfax and Keifer-to the
West. Of the twenty years in which
the Republicans have had the speaker
ship, the post was filled by Eastern men
twelve years, and only eight years by
men from the West. Beginning just
twenty years ago and continuing through
three terms of congress, the West as
sisted in electing an Eastern man
Blaine-to the speakership. while In but
one term since did a Western man
Keifer-get that honor. And yet, as the
Philadelphia paper is compelled to con-
cede, "the real brain, force and vitality
of the Republican party for the past
twenty years have been in the West. !"
Indeed, if there has been any sectional
ism at all among the Republicans in
speakership contests hitherto. it is the
East and not the West which has been
guilty of it!

apostasy is said to date from the hour the
Kanaas City Times conferred upon him
the title of ''colonel."-Kansas City Star

our politics for one moment in twenty
seven years of continuous editorial work,
