There is a Man i'm Town

Who is causing great deal Of talk. Everybody
Jumps on man when he is down and this man is
down, way down; and yet he is not sour or cynical
Folks look on him and say, Full as usual, but he
does not take it amiss for in the sense they mean
it he is full and he is low down, Full OF business
low down in prices and his name is McIntre. This
fall will see prices lower than any fall since the
fall of man.
Take savings from
And just hoof II for our block
Leave the folks who pick your pocket in the lurch
For have the largest stock,
And prices bedrock,
And competitors, we knock ZEN of the perch.

With due respect to the prominent
state officials who with such alacrity
and apparent interest endorsed woman's
suffrage and the operations of the law
in this state to the new states in their
formative evolvement, the EAGLE thinks
such action was an unwarranted piece
of presumption and an attempted inter
meddling with and dictation in the
affairs of others that in no way concerns
them as such. Such unreserved endorse
ments of measures that are thus pro-
claimed unqualified successes that meet
universal appreciation in this state, when
the latter condition is not true, may
serve to bring the endorsers notoriety
abroad, but it will not strengthen them
at home,

Guthrie Capital: This very peculiar
animal was brought into the office and
presented to us by Matt Knapp. In its ap-
pearance the tarautula eater resembles q
mammoth wasp black as the ace of spades.
Its fangs are eaqual to those of full
grown tarantula and its sting is nearly
one-half an inch long. 1t flies restlessly
about in quest Of its prey and when it
finds one IL pounces upon 1t and the hgEt
is terrific. Persons have witnessed several
contests between these animals in which
the tarantula eater invariably came out
victorious. We maintain that they should
be protected. and after Dec. 1st, 1890. there
should be fine of $500 imposed on any
one that is convicted of killing or destroy
ing one of these tarantula eaters.

for some time that the community in

AS remarked day or two ago the
war footing of the European powers has
never, in time of peace, been so nearly
up to tie belligerent standard as at
present, and none SO thoroughly pre-
pared for immediate offensive and de-
fensive operations as Germany. In view
of this last fact, and the commanding
position that country occupies in rela-
ton to the great family of nations, the
wisest thing it could do would be to fol-
low up the suggestion already made, by
actually and radically reducing its war
contingent. We say this is the wisest
thing that could be done for the reason
that such preparation for waras now ex-
lists cannot be long maintained without
bringing about popular revulsion that
will either force conflict or disarmament.
A gigantic European war would be a good
thing for this country in a business way,
but such benefits are not to be compared
with the distress and suffering conflict
would bring to the people over there;
nor is it certain but that the reaction
that would surely follow would neutra-
lie the benefits accruing to US. To
pursue the line of policy indicated
would bring to the young German en-
peror greater renown than if, in a con-
fiict of nations, he should conquer peace.
Such a step, if taken by the Fatherland,
would compel like movement on the
part Of the others.

There is demand that the next Kansas
legislature shall authorize the manufact-
ure of binding Irvine at the penitentiary
The demand comes from the farmers and
seems to have good reason to back it. The
manufacture of binding Irvine at the state
penitentiary will conflict with no Kansas
industry and it will stop the oppression OF
a monopoly that has been very burden
some to the Kansas farnIer.-State Jour
nal.
The current discussion of this impor-
tant question will no doubt lead to the
establishing of such an industry in the
state in the near future. Such an enter
prise would have the effect of stimu-
lating the production Of crops from
which Irvine may be made. Kentucky
grows more hemp than any other state
and the major portion of the crop finds a
market right at home, where it is con
verted into bagging, Irvine and other
commercial shapes by convict labor.
The subject is one Of especial importance
to Kansas, in view of the immense guam
tity of Irvine. grain bags, ETC., used.
