TAXPAYER TO g. w. CLEMENT.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The question put by G. W. Clement Is
pertinent, deserves an answer, and en-
gage at an early day TO translate my
exact meaning. There is a growing senti-
ment that the city is entering upon the
most perilous period in its existence.
When the power to levy taxes it vested in
men who pay but little taxes, and men
who are said to have bad regulations no
matter how pure their character may be,
people who are struggling to earn living,
pay debts, interest and taxes can not but
be apprehensive.
Indscretion in the female character
sometimes entails all the consequences
that practiced vice brings. and indiscre-
ton ON the part of city officials may bring
dishonor.
There has been indiscretion; there are
grave suspicious, and we shall leave the
people TO Judge after our answer If these
suspicious are founded on fact or rumor.

SPLENDID FRUIT.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. {. E. War
riner brought TO the EAGLE sanctum
basket of Crawford peaches as large and
perfect in form ana favor as the best the
writer ever saw. The fruit Is from Mrs.
WARMERS home, 2q4 North Emporia av-
enue. One OF the peaches measured lo-s
inches in circumference and tho entire lot
averaged fully as large. Such specimens
as these could not fail TO convince the
most skepdcal that Kansas Is uneNcelled
in fruit growing rs it is for vegetables and

evening from Conway Springs and
brought with him a sample of the first

power OF the engines had to be doubled In order
10 pass from IL TO II knots, and that TURNER
doubline OF power would not add much more
than one knot. BY quadrupling the power
battle-ships having a speed between 10 and
10 knots might be produced; but this could
MT he considered o. cheap increase. As for
2oknot battle ships, the great English designer
evidently prefers to have some other expert
try his hand and assume the responsibility for
an hazardous and costly an experiment.
As Mr.. White is considered by naval experts
IN England TO have the best Of this controversy
with his disputatious critic, it may be reason
able 10 assume that progress in marine en-
pineering is rapidly approaching its maximum
limit in producing vessels of high speed. If
the horse power of the engines has to BIO
ouadrupled in order to obtain battle-ship OF
1912 knots, it is evident that 20-knot battle
sbips will involve so enormous an expenditure
Of mower and so vast an addition to the weight
of the machinery as to be utterly impracticablc
Mr.. White has been most ambitious designer
but he discerns limits beyond which the most
daring experimenter cannot pass lie Will be
satisfied if he can build tle-ships with a
speed of II 1-2 knots, and hardly hopes to
add more than a single knot by quadrupling
the power Of tho engines Of the old turret and
barbette ironclads Concerning the possible
speed Of fast cruisers he has nothing to say,
but his argument points unerringly to limit
beyond which experimenting is unscientifc and
foolhardy. The American cruisers, which are
expected to make 8 or 90 knots, were praC-
tically designed by him when he was in the
employ Of the Armstrong;. Whether they will
succeed in accomplishing that result is ques-
ton on which expert testimony is divided;
but even if the Charleston and Baltimore are
as fast the designers anticipated they would
be, it is hardly reasonable to expect any great
advance in speed above 20 knots for war
vessels.

time, with more equal laws and with more i'm
partial courts, that wages are better though
lands are dearer and scarcer, and that the peo-
ple have more comforts though the country II
moro crowded.
The crowning feature Is the demonstrated
grip of American common sense, to hold FAST
that which proves good. Changes are tried
which on close scrutiny prove unsound or in
methods mistaken, and these are quickly re-
yersed. Thus the movement toward tariff
reform' by lowering of duties has convinced
tho country that it was a mistake, and the ten
denoy isalready in the opposite direction Some
reformers bewail the abandonment OF civil
Service REFORM but the truth is they have mis-
taken show for substance and fancied that
mere Chinese methods would bring blessings,
and the public loses interest in worship OF
form in place Of practical result. But every
good change stays. 1t is striking fact' which
will bear closer study than most statesmen nave
given it, that in every instance the reform which
has approved itself in practical working has
ouickly become as solid and durable as the ever
lasting hills. When it is realized with what
memorable rigor the people hold fast every men
gained for freedom, for justice for good gov
rnment and the well-being of the citizen, then
il NAV seem that American ceaseless cnahge
is in practical result American progress.

AMERICAN CHANG II.

The characteristic Of American political and
social life which first and most strongly i'm
presses foreigners IS that everything is in q
state of change. Nothing seems fixed, consa-
tutions, laws, officials, customs, or even wealth
and position of old families. To observers
there is ceaseless hurry and perpetual motion
like the surface of rapids at Niagara. 1t is not
strange if this has suggested to others than Mr.
Carlyle the thought that Democracy is soon to
take its plunge over the cataract.
There is change everywhere. and perpetual
change. But it is not, on the whole, change
for the worse. The Nation grows fast in num-
bers, wealth, physical necessities moral aspira-
tions, and it is happy thing that It's frame
work can be so quickly adapted to it's needs.
Slower growth in the old countries does perhaps
in part excuse greater difficulty Of change but
all the older nations are in fact hampered and
burdened, if not crippled, by forms and methods
which they have outgrown. 1t is startling
change, but not necessarily change for the
worse, when million people are transferred
in few years to four Territories, first empty,
now about to assume the dignity of great States.
II is not necessarily for the worse that even the
Oklahoma boomers have occupied with rude
beginnings Of civilization land hitherto ten
anted only by cattle or that cities with banks
and stores, government officials and mails grow
I'D in a day. Neither is it necessarily an evil
that laws of the States are constantly being al
tered that Legislatures like those of Newly ork
and New-Jersey leave behind them changes SO
general and sweeping that lawyers must almost
begin the study Of the law over again. In many
cases, il not in most, the changes are those de-
manded by popular experience Of evils under tho
forms and methods formerly existing.
In truth, upon a deeper look it will be seen
that the surface is indeed broken and torn by
perpetu motion, like that OF the rapids above
Niagara, and that beneath there is a steady and
resistless current which the countless eddies
do not impede, only the current is moving not
downward but upward. Most of the innumcr-
able changes in laws in methods in judicial de-
cisions, are for the greater protection of the
peoples right, or the defence of oppressed
classes, or the removal Of old abuses. Many
OF them tend to increase the rewards OF labor,
many to afford greater security to its savings,
many to insure reader expression of the pop
uiar will. SO 1t comes to pass that the people
are In fact. better protected than at any former
