KANSAS IN THE CABINET.

The Lawrence journal, in a forcible
and complimentary way, urges Senator
Plumb for the position of secretary of
treasury under the incoming admins
traitor. Among other reasons why it
thinks the senator should receive that
preferment the Journal says: There is
no man in the country who would so
ably and intelligently adjust the bal
ances of the national excheQuer as P. B.
Plumb. The $4,000 majority of stalwart
Republicans, in his state, made in large
measure by his powerful speeches du-
rotary of the treasury for this favorite
son of the banner Republican common
wealth. The EAGLE cheerfnlly and
heartily endorses all that its esteemed
contemporary says touching the superior
fitness of Senator Plumb for the position
named, but it is of the opinion that it is
loves labor lost, so to speak, for the rea-
son that, it is understood, the senator
does not desire and probably would not
accept q cabinet position, preferring to
remain in the senate where he
will be better able TO serve his
state, and the country, in all its inter
ests affected by legislation. That Kan
Sas is entitled to prominent position in
the new administration will not be gain
said, but our notion is that the most i'm
portant position, to the state, would be
the secretaryship of the interior or of
agriculture, both of which positions have
more directly and largely to do with the
interests of this state than perhaps any
other at this time, or have any of other
departments. And there will be no diff
Guilty in finding competent Kansans TO
fill either, or both, or any other as for
that
All this is said, we repeat, with the
full belief that there is no man IN the
nation. certainly not in the senate. bet
ter fitted to discharge the responsible
duties of secretary of the treasury ID the

P. b. Plumb. He has given the subject
of the nations finances years of careful
study and has on more than one occasion
shown a more complete grasp. of the
subject than any one on the floor OF the
senate. In short, few men of the pres

WICHITA IN THE GREAT PAPERS OF
THE COUNTRY.

Some of our esteemed contemporaries
will be green with envy when they read
Harper's Weekly and the New York Trib-
une about Wichita which attributes the
rise of that wonderful town to Marsh Muir
dock and his newspaper. The Tribunes
editorial is appreciative to laudation, and
yet every word it says of the influence of
the EAGLE in inspiring the Wichita mi
racle isstrue-Leavenwort Times.
The PHILADELPHIA Record is the last
prominent national journal to take up
the Wichita boom in an editorial way
and from philosophical standpoint. The
Chicago Times also follows in much
the same strain. The key note of these
editorials seems to be the editor of the
EAGLE for whose sake Wichita is re-
ceiving noteriety CONFERENCE.-THE. If
they are to be followed by personal bills

the usual financial prostration which

that they will not forget that in the ig-
noring of that very ''trash" was found
the inspiration of their editorials, and
that but for our Indifference to it, their

their value therefore to Wichita and to
the world, perhaps, would have been

NOT CHARITY BUT JUSTICE NEEDED.

| The action of President Cleveland anG
of Secretary Endicott in relation to the
| Apache Indians held as prisoners of wal
is disgraceful to the century and to oul
civilization. Their attention has beer
repeatedly called, by unimpeachable ties
timony, to the fact that among the meI
so held as prisoners of war are faithful
scouts, who fought for the government
and their families. These men are pen
ned up with the very men against whom
they fought. The Hartford Couran,
takes up the subject and says that the
president, in his recent message, ignores
the facts and assumes to dismiss the SUBJ
ject with the curt sentence that he is not
sat all in sympathy with those benevo-
lent but injudicious people who are con-
tinually insisting that these Indians (the
imprisoned Apaches) should be returned
to their reservation" He does not specify
who these misguided people are, for the
simple reason that they are not to be
found. True friends of Indian civiliza-
ton like that good Quaker, Herbert
Welsh, have urged that the recommends
tons of Generals Crook and Miles might
be carried out and that these Indians be
given an industrial education. General
Armstrong has offered to provide, with
out expense to the government, suitable
place for such education, near Hampton;
and there have been, from some of the
best journals in the country, religious
and secular, urgent demands that the
gross wrong now being inflicted upon
faithful scouts should not continue. But
neither Herbert Welsh nor Generals
Crook, Miles nor Armstrong. nor the
critics of the press, have sought to have
the Apaches returned to their reserva-
ton. Had the president been misin-
formed when he made this statement?
Has he, with all his good words, failed
to ascertain the facts of this peculiar
case? Does he consider it "injudicious"
to treat these poor wretches, majority
of whom have been loyal to the govern
ment, as human beings, to be instructed
in the industrial arts and fitted for civil
lied life? Whatever he may do or not
do, the duty of all benevolent and
Christian people is to stand by Herbert
Welsh and General EArmstrong in this
matter until the national government is
compelled to accord simple justice and
enlightened humane treatment to this
tribe, which General Crook once said
contained the finest and brightest speci-
mems Of the Indian race.

CunWaEA

A new style Of gunwad is making stir In
England. 1t comes from Sweden and IS
made Of paper pulp 1t is made cup shaped,
the hollow being placed in the cartridge next
to the powder. It follows that tho powder
gases press the edge Of this cup against the
barrel and so keep themselves from ningling
with tie shot. Extended experiments show
an increased number Of shot placed within
the standard thirty inch circle, an improved
spread Of the shot, and an increased penetra-
ton The recoil Of the gun was naturally In
creased at the same time. IL IL pretty plain
from these trials that the ordinary GUnwads,
even when they fit the barrel snugly and are
q half inch thick, do not wholly prevent the
gases from mingling with and so scattering
the shot.-Cbicago Times

Accidents of TrioS.

ST. LOUIS fiepuDnC.
1t seems to be law of nature. For
instance, last Saturday the steamer Eric
son was lost in Puget Sound; Sunday
morning the steamer Kate Adams was
lost on the river, and Monday night the
steamer John Hanna shared like fate.
This trio of disasters cost about 100 lives
and they followed each other closely.
There may be one or two more similar
accidents in the next few days, and then,
for another period, there will be no more
disasters of that character. Accidents
of that kind never come oingly. Do you
remember the railroad accident at Mud
Run, Pennsylvania, in which thirty or
forty lives were lost? That was followed
within the week by two more railroad
disasters. in which several additional
lives Were lost. Since that time there
have been no more railroad accidents.

The item of ten million dollars increase
in the public debt of Canada, as shown
by its financial statement just published,
will not serve as strong argument with
citizens of the United States in favor of
annexation. More debt is not what we
want, but rather increased facilities for
paying what we owe; though it must be
allowed that it is giving the government
great deal more trouble to get rid of
its surplus assets than its liabilities.
