that sugar making from beets is a great
success there. raising the value of land
from $50 TO 500 per acre in the vicinity
of sugar beet mills 1t takes about S125.-
600 for each mill, aud the committee has
suggested two plans to raise the capital
needed. There Is no doubt but that a
beet sugar plant would be good thing
for Harvey county, if they can get one,
and If a good thing there it would be
here.

GALVESTON AND WICHITA.

That Galveston and Wichita will. il
the very near future, find their interest.
to be mutual, and that their united pull
on the same lines will prove vastly bene
fetal to the farmers of Kansas, there
seems now little doubt. Galveston is
anxious that Wichita may corral the
grain of Kansas in her elevators before
it reaches the Chicago and Kansas City
combines on the Missouri river, to the
end that grain rate may ensue be-
/ tween Wichita and Galveston as low as
! the rate on re-biiled Kansas wheat to
/ Chicago, which would result in giving
Galveston an equal if not the first chance
on expectations. Upon the other hand
Wichita is Cesirous that the importing
and jobbing interests Of Galveston may
force a sugar, fruit and other car load
rate from Galveston TO Wichita IS
low as is the rate from Calves
ton TO the Missouri river points.
AiiiS ID OH tldO w ICIllld asks Ol the lOD-
bers and importers Of Galveston, when
Wichita in turn will agree TO take care
of the grain. These things accomplished
and the relations between Galveston and
Wichita become identical with those at
present existing between Chicago and
Kansas City. Wichita's jobbers want
the sugars, coffees, fruits, ETC., of Gal
weston laid down in Wichita in car load
lots, for just exactly the price for which
these articles are laid down at the Mis-
souri, river points. There is nothing I'M
reasonable in the demand, and it is
within the power of the Galveston
jobbers and importers to force
the concession in the interest of their
own trade. As for the grain of Kansas
it is practic lily lost to Galveston'S port
when it has once re ched the Missouri
river, as it can only come back again by
rebilling and an unremunerative haul of
from one to four hundred miles. That
Galveston may have an equal show with
the lake markets and Atlantic exporta-
ton for Kansas grains it is absolutely
necessary that a grain and -four center be
built up at some point southwest of the
Missouri river Wichita having the
prestige, and soon to have the facilities, !
will undoubtedly become that point.
From every consideration and from |
all vantage points there can be no con-
iict of intere IS between Galveston as |
IN exporting and importing city and |
Wichita as an initial grain center and |
iObbing town. The interests TO these
titles are SO largely mutual as should
permit of no subsidiary strifes on the one
land, but upon the other the most har-
nonious action. A clear understanding
lpon the part of Galveston's business
nen of the points touched upon above,
nd a realization by them that Wichita

a SUGGESTION.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Money is the measure Of all values. the
medium of EXCHANGE in every line of
trade. 1t enters into all the transactions
of life. and must be handled on all occa-
sions. often in the dark, and also by per-
sons with dim eyes. Hence is should be
so made in character and value as 10
serve its purpose best. Gold and silver
coin at least should be so made that the
value could he known by the touch.
without light or sight With our cur
rency as it is, mistakes are often made.
a tive-dollar gold piece has been passed
for cent, and gold has often been
passed by mistake for silver. 4 good
artist could easily remedy that difficulty.
and the government should not lie salts
fed until that Is accomplished.

1t would seem that the efforts to Sc
cure aid from the government for the
destitute portions of Kansas, Nebraska
and the Dakotas are in large measures
misplaced sympathy. South Dakota
protests that she is not a proper object of
charity, inasmuch as she has furnished
the produce dealers large sums of money
with which to move the crops of this
year; Nebraska admits that there is some
restitution in portions of that state. but
that the state as a whole can take care of
Its own. and the state officers of Kansas
made the same admission and claim.
This will be gratif, ing intelligence TO all.
even TO the charitsbly disposed. who
would cheerfully respond TO the distress
Call with alacrity from whatever source.

THE BACK FILES OF THE EAGLE.

Some subscriber clips an editorial of
the EAGLE of eleven years ago, entitled
mo Flop Here" and sends it to us, with
the following marginal note, to which
he fails to sign his name, but which
note startles us with the realization that
people are liable to indefinitely haul the
back files on an editor. He says:
The opinion that you don't know
anything about money is prevalent
"amoDg your friends, but 1 think it a
wrong one, and that from your slight
acquaintance with the stuff you have
'grasped the idea Of what its for. This
- is from back file of 20. 1t seems in
g the past eleven years you have kept up
with the band wagon"
The following is the editorial. and we
don't know that it sounds, in the light of.
a much greater experience, either I'M
natural or foolish:
NO FLOP HERE.
y correspondent of the National Mon
itOr intimates pretty broadly that the
EAGLE is on the eve Of flop over TO the
Greenbackers. There is no necessity for
such action, as we Topped over to that
side long before many of the now most
rampant Greenbackers had given the
question a serious thought. If the writer
means that there is any likelihood OF the
EAGLE taking the foolish fiat
flop, he Is still further estray.
The most Of our readers are
well posted as to the financial beliefs of
the EAGLE. We are for greenbacks-
the greatest possible volume cOmmensur-
ate with resumption or redemption
but we want no greenback or paper
money of any kind that is not good in all
commercial channels from Singapore or
Australia westward to San Francisco.
Nor do we want any greenbacks or paper
money based upon some barren ideality
of the Nations aggregated wealth or the
country's presumable credit.
While upon this question of currency
and It's volume, we will say that it would
entirely accord with our convictions if,
for the millions of silver now piled up
in the treasury and for all coin or bullion
hereafter to be deposited, silver certifi-
Gates or, in other words, paper money of
prom ses TO pay silver dollars on de-
mand, were issued. That would largely
increase the circulating medium of the
country and not compel the people to
handle the bulky silver; besides, such in
creased circulation would be Just as good |
as our greenbacks or bonds, for what it |
called for would be laying in the treas |
ury ready for every demand issued or !
based upon it.

DR.. COTE, OF New York City, has just
returned from Berlin, where he has
been studying the Koch remedy. il is
interesting to note that in an interview
ho deprecates the public excitement
over the matter, saying: "The excite
ment in the cure must be toned down to
reach the exact limitations of its use.
People expect too much" This is in
line with the opinion of the EAGLE on
The subject, as expressed several weeks
ago. The public, both in this country
and in Europe, is gradually coming
around to that view Of the case.

Prohibit the Drunkards.
l. VI. - ss,.f.f.- T,a-..,

From the Wine and Spirits Gazette.
THE aim of prohibition, if we under
stand it right, is the humiliation of the
liquor traffic. In the views of rational
men possessed of ordinary common
sense the traffic in liquor can be stopped
only by stopping the demand for it..
Alcohol, like all other articles of com
merce, is governed by the law of de-
mand and supply. Those who want to
close permanently the saloons must re-
move the cause that brought it into ex-
istence. and which still feeds and sup
ports 1.-THE drinking usage of society.
If they would stop men from drinking,
and prevent the rising generation from
forming an appetite for strong drink,
drunkness must be made Odious. This
cannot be done by laying the guilt of
the drunkard upon the liquor vender.
But it can be done by Furnishing and de-
claring ineligible 10 any office. or trust
of honor, for one year, those who drink
to intoxication. The drunkard is the
worst enemy of the liquor traffic.

all this did, the voice OF the Peoples

demands. Here is a sample of the
