The Wichita EAGLE kicks because the
salaries of Kansas postmasters have been
reduced while those of Missouri have been
raised. The EAGLE should remember that
the Democratic majority of Missouri is be-
ing rapidly reduced, and as a natural con-
sequence the intelligence of the people is
on the increase. The salaries of Kansas
postmasters were raised during the un-
healthy boom and have simply sought
their level. They are far ahead of Mis-
souri, yet, in towns of like sizs-St. John
Advocate.
Our e. c. does the cage an injustice.
unintentionally perhaps, in the forego-
ing. If the salaries of Kansas post
masters had been higher than those of
Missouri the EAGLE would never have
subjected itself TO criticism by referring
to the equalization @ ordered by the de-
partment. but in point of fact said sal
aries in this state were not higher than
those in the other states mentioned. as
will be seen by comparison of tables.
The EAGLE never kicks at fair PLAY, but
at discrimination in any form or in any
quarter affecting Kansas interests it has
and will continue TO scream, birds don't
kick and you may depend upon it, il
will be heard. Kansas only asks for fair
play, and viii accept nothing less if the
-EAGLE can nleyent ii.

FAITH AND WORKS.

INSCRIBED TO MY FRIEND, &.
i would not utter thought OF mine
With an intent to wreck the bark
Rich laden with a faith serene
Rut would that faith should reach the mark
Made by the humble Nazarlne,
That human acts should be controlled
BY love for all This law divine
VIII fashion man in Godlike mould.
Tho you and I may ne'er agree
On subjects misty. though profound,
'IwIxt faith and works the difference see
With eyes alike, nor hear the sound
OF natures song, with ears attuned
In unison: 3till this we know.
That IL to each Cts not assumed)
OF those we meet who trouble show.
We give helping band and word,
Twill tighten care and Smoothe a brow;
These little things all can afford,
In aiding those We stronger grow,
And measures full OF conscious JOY
VIII ill our bosoms day and night,
True happiness without alloy,
The fruits'o simply doing right.
While busy with LIES sordid cares
We have not time to idly spend
In solving doubts, or splitting hairs
By sitting creeds which have no end
II this be so why should we fret,
And spend our lives IN useless toll
In seek ng light we can not get,
While all our good intentions spoil.
The teachings of the centuries gone
Have failed to show a better plan
To make of earth and heaven one,
Than love for all. by every man.
A faith like this | count sublime.
Firm trust In God with ready hand
To Quench distress OF every kind,
Then-write the record on the sand.

And now it is Kansas City's turn to
wrestle with a mysterious murder SEN

And now it is Kansas City's turn to
wrestle with mysterious murder SEN
sation. The victim was prominent
contractor named Cammann and the at
tendant circumstances would seem to
indicate that it was a case of suicide,
though his family and friends stoutly
aver that it was not; that the victim was
too sensible a man to do so foolish a
thing even if there were any reasons in
the domestic or business affairs to sug-
gest it. 1t was known to him and some
of his friends and his family that for
several days he was being Swallowed by
persons known to have grudges against
him and it is insisted that Cammann
was murdered by some one of these,
notwithstanding the fact that his dead
body was found lying face down. a
bullet hole in the right side Of his head,
and a pistol in his right hand.
The police are working on the case and
if there is any possible chance to do so
they will work up sensation over it.

Now that the Alton has locked horns
with the Rock Island, which will prob
ably monopolize its attention for time,
what will poor Kansas City do for a
hacker? Having renounced allegiance
to all other lines and declared an inten-

and defensive, it is in order for that
town to rally to the support of its cham
pion, but will it?

If the peace officers of Alabama, Mis-

liant and determined as the governors
of those stptes in preventing the Sulli-
van-Kilrain prize fight, it would seem to
be impossible for the fight to take place
in either of the states named. There is
sufficient warrant in the public declara-
tions of the men, if they are correctly
quoted. for their arrest in advance of
further overt acts. Under the moral
law both are murderers, for both have
declared their determination to win the
fight or die in the ring. The proper

1t has been noted in these columns be-
fore that there was very great influx of
English capital to this county in lines
other than those connected with the rail-
road business. This is an encouraging
sign. and one that has in it lesson as to
the benefits of the doctrine of protection.
The result of the election in this country
last autumn being SO clearly against free
trade, or any considerable approach to it.
the English capitalist proposes to come
into this country with his money and
under the shelter of our protection begin
manufacturing and mercantile opera
tions. This is far better, is it not, than
if he manufactured in England and
shipped his products here TO sell? The
workmen in this country have the bene-
fit of the influx of this capital, as it gives
them more employment, and the mere
employment the greater the home mar
ket. which is the hope Of the country.

State bug hunters are unlike most
other sinecures, in this, they.seem to feel
that they ought to be doing something to
ut least make show of earning their
salaries. This may account in a meas

insects. Finding the little pests might
be alarming if it were not also discoy-
cred that no serious damage is being
done by them to the crops they lnfest.
