KANSAS FIRST GOVERNOR.

IF the state Alliance should nominate
The father of the state university for
governor, and the Democrats should en-
iorse the Alliance, it would put the Re-
submission Republicans in tight place,
for Robinson is not only teetotler but a
rampant Resubmissionist and son of tenn
perance. If they voted for Resubmission
Robinson they would vote for a Demo
crat with Republican antecedents.

KILLING BEEvEs FOR INDIANS.

1t has long been the custom to turn the
steers intended for the Indians out of the
corrals at a live jump, followed by the
bucks on their ponies, who shot them OIL
the run, generally wounding and mang
ling them in a horrible manner
Upon recommendation of Judge Foster
of the United States district court, who
department, Commissioner Morgan has
ordered a reform in the method OF
slaughtering beef for the Indians in the
territory. In a letter to Judge Foster,
just received, he says:
THE killing is to be done in pen, in
as private manner of possible and by a
man who understands the duty and who
uses the most speedy and painless method
practicable, and during the killing chill
dren and women are especially prohibit
ed from being present.
The butchering to be by men in a
house or shed fitted with the necessary
appliances for suspending the carcasses
during the operation and with plank or
log floor, with water running over or I'M
der the floor or as convenient to the build
ing as possible. so that cleanliness Will
be insured.
THE consumption of the blood and in
testines by the Indians is strictly prohib-
tied This savage and filthy practice
which prevails at so many agencies must
be abolished, as it serves to nOurish bru-
tai instincts, and as [ am well informed
Is a fruitful source of disease. Some
proper means must be taken for the de-
struction of the offal, SO as to prevent
foulness and disease.
when the beef is ready to be cut up
this must be done in neat and clean
manner by men detailed for the purpose,
and with the assistance, or under the i'm
mediate supervision of butcher or other
reliable person who understands this
branch of the work, and such chopping
blocks, cleavers, saws, pulleys, ropes,
beams, hooks, benches. etc, as are neces-
sary to secure cleanliness, decency and
order must be provided and invariably
used. The beef will be delivered to men
and not to women, unless in cases of spe-
cial eXigency.

The merchants of Topeka have found
it necessary to organize police force
and maintain it at their own expense to
protect themselves against burglars and
sneak thieves. This seems odd, in view
of the claim set up that the metropolitan
police system and the force organized
under it were the best the city has ever
had. But it isn't fair to expect too much
of any officer of the law; the NETS have
had their hands full looking after the
o. p. vandals to give any attention to such
trivial things as burglaries and sneak
thieYing.

Dispatches from Washington say that
Atchison will show decrease in popula-
tion since 1880 of about 1900. But that,
it is said, is not a real decrease, but only
appears so because the city has lost an
addition. But isn't it Just as disreputable
to lose an addition as it is to lose people!
And by the way, this is the first addition
in Kansas reported to be lost except few
that could not be found at Wichita on
account of the weeds.-Lawrence Journal.
To finished town that never had
any additions or other evidences of
growth to lose such spirits of qteness
as the foregoing are no doubt excruciat-
ingly funny. As for this village" it
will try to worry along until its lost
additions show up, about which it is not
fretting to hurt.

A German scientist who has been
making Investigations upon the effects
of coffee as a beverage declares that
coffee is an intoxicant the constant Use
of which Will bring about a state OF
delirium tremens. This is scarcely a
new discovery. for coffee drunkarks
have not been uncommon in the past.
But now that science mas given the
stamp of authority to the matter. our
prohibition friends will find themselves
in bad way. They Will be obliged to
add coffee, and perhaps tea, to the
temperance pledge.

KANSAS WANTS IT.

From the Topeka "a pitaI.
Hon. George l. Douglass of Wichita,
makes a strong plea in the EAGLE for
the passage of the bankruptcy bill now
pending In congress. The bill Is one Of
the most carefully constructed measures
ever introduced in congress Its value

and we second Mr.. Douglass advice to

The Word Niger.

TuIu &c teHL-E1 Dc tl0nar9.
Niger Is not. as generally supposed. q
a corruption of Negro, but 1t Is regularly
developed from the earlier form of Ne
ger, which Is derived through the French
from the Spanish-Portuguese Negro, from
which the English Negro Is taken direct
Is. Niger Is more English IN form than
Negro. and was formerly, and TO some
extent Is still used without opprobrious
intent; but its use is now confined to col
loquiai or illiterate speech, IN which II
conveys more or less contempt.

Topeka is trying to work the Methodist
church for a university boom, and it is
said that the scheme has the endorse
ment of Bishop Ninde. The Methodists
had better take care of the colleges al
ready built by generous people for them
OF course the Topeka scheme presup-
poses the decay. and involves the sure
death of the Baker university. The
MethodiSts once owned the present site
and original plant OF the Agricultural
college The church will make nothing
in lending itself to an attempted Topeka
boom.

Nip and Tuck Between You.

lows. hold on, are you not the same
fellows who have been talking of organ
izing leagues to compel Us fellows Il

Two maps of the world appear in the
Wichita EAGLE with Wichita indicated by
a large dark spot exactly in the center.
These maps are according to "Murdock's
projection" instead of Mercator' .-Tope-
ka Journal.
Mercator delineated that only which
has already been created, Anybody can
map out that which lies before him
clearly revealed as an entity, but not
everyone who can reach out for and de-
fine the undeveloped oviates which lie
freshly impregnated in the womb of fu-
turity. Amy newly made benedict
ought to be able to grasp that, even if he
unfortunately does live in town where
things are only laid by ring and
Matched ditto.

The United States supreme court in ap-
pearance is the most mOnarchial inStitu-
ton in America. In a small semi-circu-
lar room, most elegantly furnished, it
sits all day long, the object of more de-
ference and honor than the president re-
ceives. Venerable lawyers bow before
the justices, pages at their elbows do
their bidding, handsomely attired col
ored boys keep the noiseless doors, while
rich India carpet deadens the foot
falls on the court room floor. This
canopid throne of constitutional dignity
has been occupied by many of the great
est legal lights of the country. In this
unpretentious room the greatest of
American lawyers argue important cases.

Senator Call. of Florida, has the repu-
tation of writing the poorest hand Of any
of his senatorial associates. He is ma

the air, diet, etc. of that state have had a
tendency to unsteady his nerves. We
are not prepared to say that this is pecu-
liar TO Kentucky. Horace Greeley was

Since the census, Wichita appears to be
more of a jasperite town than ever before.
This refers only to her pavements.-K. G.

How much would you give to be able
to say as much for your town since the

Wichita is infinitely more of jasper
city-using the term in biblical sense
all through and every day in the week
than the ''stuck up" town just below the
