THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

Some time since the chairman of the
rasubmission district committees notified
Governor Humphrey that they had
numerous petitions to lay before him,
and further, that they desired in such
connection to formally set forth the rea-
sons that had convinced them why it
would be to the best interests of the state
and of the Republican party of Kansas
to convene the legislature in extra session
that the people might be afforded an OPP
portunity to determine by ballot whether
the prohibition amendment should be
retained in the constitution or not, ask
ing him to name day on which the Re
submisSionists could have a hearing.
The 23rd Of May was agreed upon as the
date, whereupon two or three hundred
citizens from different portions Of the
state repaired to the capital. 4 COM
mittee was thereupon directed to wait
upon his EXcellency and to announce
to him the conventions desire and
his own convenience as to the
hour at which he would listen to their
PRAYER The hour was fixed, and the
committee reported their understanding
of the facts back. The hour having ar
rived and the convention having as
sembled the committee was instructed 10
again repair TO the executive office and
to conduct the governor with becoming
dignity and decorum to the house Of rep
resentativeS in the same building. in ac-
cordance with the former understanding
and report of the committee: the band
to be stationed to play Hail 10 the
Chief at 4 given signal, the convention
to receive his eXcellency standing. etc.

seat and to withdraw upon the finishing

room the second time but the subsequent
proceedings We're not in accordance
with the program. Vet were none the
less interesting The committee having
announced their readiness, to their utter
surprise they found the governor any
thing but ready. The upshot being that
the governor did not meet the gentlemen
composing the convention, which gentle
men could not see the sense in sending a
memorial IN writing from the third floor

TWO CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLES

If the position taken by our Wichita
friends, that the open saloon is the engine
which IS TO start the wheels of the factories
and furnish employment to the idle me-
chanics and laborers, why Is it that their
own city and LeavenWorth, the two cities
of the state alone which have been reveling
in the unrestricted sale of liquors, should
be suffering more from general depression
than Is being experienced by any of the
other cities of the state.-Arkansas City
Traveller
As far as Wichita is concerned she has
heard and seen stated the substance of
the SANDER above quoted until disgust
has turned to pity for the depravity of
those who repeat it. The Traveller, ct al,
know, if they know anything, that
Wichita has never made any such claim
for the open saloon as is alleged in the
paragraph quoted. The Traveller also
knows, or ought to know, that there has
never at any time been any greater dis
regard for the prohibitory law in the
two cities named than in any and every
other city in the state, the Travellers
own city especially not excepted. There
has been this difference, however: the
cities named long since recognized
that the law was failure
for the purpose for which it was
designed, and had the courage and man.
illness to acknowledge it, and have not
acted the lie by making the hypocritical
attempt to deceive the public as to the
prohibitOry laws.
If, however, the cities of Wichita and
LeavenwOrth have been reveling in the
unrestricted sale of liquors." and if it
were true that this has had anything to
do with bringing about existing indus
trial and commercial conditions, no
stronger argument could be used in
favor of inaugurating the same policy in
all the cities and towns of the state, for,
the cities named, instead of suffering
from general depression, are today and
have been right along enjoying greater
activity in every department of business
and a greater degree of prosperity
than any other two cities of
the state, no difference what
their claims or their pretended attitude
in regard to the liquor question. A
casual observation of the streets and
business houses and industrial establish
ments Of the two cities prove this, and
not only this, but the statistics of the
business of the cities Of the state, COM
mercial and industrial Except perhaps
Kansas City, the bulk of which legiti-
mately belongs to the Missouri division
we rporat tO EnOyy-Of that q DOTpOa-
tom bear out the statement.
We repeat, therefore, that if the real
condition of affairs as to general bust
ness and other evidences of thrift and
prosperity in Wichita and Leavenworth
are in any way contingent upon the
liquor granting the assertions in
regard thereto to be true-it hehooveS
every other city and town in Kansas to
throw off the cloak of hypocrisy and
follow the lead of the two most enter
prising and prosperous cities in the state.

in the governors chamber there is a
disagreement, the governor claiming
that the committe misunderstood or
Inexperienced, and they claiming upon
the other hand that they did not. about
which there is bound to be more in the
future The convention held that
whether there was a misunderstanding
or not, it was as little as the governor
could do to at least formally hears large
and respectable number of members of
his own party and citizens of the state,
who had come so far and sacrificed so
much time for an opportunity to make
an open and honest appeal, and for the
submission Of their convictions for his
consideration. This, in brief and in gen
eral terms, is the entire unfortunate mat
ter stated, we trust, without prejudice
or an unworthy feeling. AS for the pub
hes estimate and conclusion of the mat
ter, as for the conjectures of Interior mo-
tives and side influences and pressures,
the future will sift and determine.

LOYALTY REPUBLICAN.

The set address of President Allen and
the memorial of the Resubmission con-
vention took up so much space that the
EAGLE did not attempt to give the pro-
ceedings in detail. Some splendid Re-
publican speeches were made by Payne,
Callahan, Bentley and others and Mayor
Clement in the most Tousing, earnest
and eloquent speech of the convention,
and which was the talk of the streets.
not only stood up for the party and for a
fight within the party, but paid one of
the finest tributes to Wichita and to her
people that was ever uttered by any man.
Every sentence was sOundly and loudly
applauded. There was no intimatiOn of a
third party movement heard, but upon
the other hand several speakers took
pains to emphasize the fact that the Re
publican party was being asked to re-
submit the question of prohibition to a
vote Of the people, and not tire Demo-
cratic party or any fusion.
While the appointment OF a central
committee was being considered Mr.
Douglass moved the appointment of a
special committee to report at once a
resolution defining clearly the object of
the proposed organization. He said he
was no less a Republican because OF what
had Just happened than he was two
hours before, and he made an earnest
appeal for keeping the proposed
organization within the Republican
party and of having this fact
stated at once and so clear
" that no man or news
paper in the state dare misrepresent the
fact. lie was as earnestly for Tesub-
mission as any man on the floor, and
there were tens of thousands of Republi-
cans who entertained the same convic-
tons but who would not go into any
third party organization or Democratic
annex. In some of the counties the
friends of resubmission We're in a ma
jority in the Republican organization; IN
others the enemies Of resubmission con-
trolled the organization. But in such
counties the contest would be made
within the Republican party and under
the old flag. There was no other place
for a Republican to fight.
3ir. Douglas. as chairman of the COM
mittee referred TO, reported the following
resolution which was unanimously
adopted and which viii set at rest any

THE EAGLE AND PROJECTION.

Colonel Marsh Murdoch rejected the Nc
Kinley bill just as the Republicans of the
house by a practically unanimous vote
agreed to accept it. This is little I'M
fortunate for Colonel acknowledgements
Republican.
You might more correctly have writ
ten unfortunate for the unanimous Re
publicans. The difference between the
EAGLE and some, if not many, of its CO.
temporaries lies in this, that this paper
does not wait for party tips or political
mods from any quarter The Mckinley
bill is not for the west. The markets
that that bill makes are largely east oft he
AlleghenieS; the things it protects with
high duties are the very things that the
west can not manufacture but must buy.
Had the senate and house both passed
the bill we should have spoken at that
time Just as we did. In fact the need of
speech would but have been all the more
urgent.
Now, Mr.. Republican, don't you know
that all our interest money goes to the
east; that all our insurance money goes
to the east; that all we have to sell goes
to the east, cost of transportation swal-
lowing the profits of our productions as
they go east, and that all we must buy
comes from the east, not only burthened
with this same cost in transportation but
the additional load which high protec-
ton imposes.
In other words, the EAGLE is protec-
ton organ-protection FOR the west, pro-
lection FROM the highly protected east.

ST. LOUIS, WICHITA, FRISCO.
The New Deal and What is Though
Known and Said.

A Chicago Tribune special says that
George c. Magoun, chairman of the
Atchison board of directors. returned to
this city from Boston last night and was
at his office this morning. To the Herald
correspondent he said that the terms I'M
der which the control of the ST. Louis 81
San Francisco passed into the hands of
the AtchisOn. Topeka q Santa Fe were
not vet ready to be made public, but
that on Monday next the full facts would
be given out. He characterized the cur
rent story that there was TO be al extern
sion of the blanket mortgage on Atchi-
son, so as to cover the new property
acquired, as highly improbable, in face
Of the fact that the aforesaid mortgage
distinctly provides that there shall be no
further issue. a Boston dispatch re-
ceived in the street this morning says
that none of the reports as 10 detail of
the purchase OF the San Francisco by the
Atchison can be confirmed IN that city.
The stories. the dispatch adds, emanate
entirely from st Louis u San Francisco
sources in New York.
The st. Louis & San Francisco oper-
ates about fifteen hundred miles of its
own track. and is also the joint owner
with the Atchison of the Atlantic q
Pacific railway. President Winslow, of
the St. Louis q San Francisco, confirms
the announcement of the deal. and says
he shall resign his position IN about three
weeks. The details of the transaction,
which involves millions, will probably
not be made public until some time next
week. but it Is rumOred that It INVOLVES
a new issues of Atchison stock to cover
the newly acquired property.
The basis for the exchange Of stock
has not been made public officially, but
it Is reported 10 be four Of AtchisOn for
three of the St. Louis & San Francisco
preferred and two of Atchison for one Of
St. Louis & San Francisco common The
deal was arranged by George c. hagoun,
chairman of the Atchison board Of
directors: John j. McCook, OF the well
known firm Of Alexander & Greene,
and J. VI. Libby, all New York
members Of the Atchison direc-
tory, acting for that company. and the
banking house OF J. and ". Sellgman
the controlling interest IN
the St. Louis & San Francisco.
By this deal the Atchison system So
cures It's own line into -. LOUIS. with
splendid terminal facilities. and offers
the shortest route via ST. Louis across the
continent from New York to San Fran
cisco. The ST. Louis s. San Francisco
runs west from 81. Louis to connec-
ton with the Atchison at Wichita, Kan,
with branches connecting with the Atch-
ison at other points and extending into
the southwest
The purchase also removes q source Of
q considerable amount Of friction IN the
ownership II the Atlantic & Pacific. a.
heretofore both the Atchison and -
Louis & San Francisco were competitors
for tTsnsconiInental business.

That is certainly a strange hallucina-
ton that has possessed many of the Chey-
enne, Comanche and Arapahoe Indians
in the territory, under which they have
for several days been holdinga sort of
preparatory exercise of a religious nature,
in anticipation of the early coming of
their greatest of medicine men from
their northern brethren in the Black
Hills country. and who they expect will
restore the country to the Indians in its
original state. with Its forests. its prairies.
its buffalo and other wild game. They
also expect the white man TO be driven
out and the Indians restored TO full pos
session. THIS idea seems to be a new
one with the Indinns. and how. where or
from whom they got the idea no one APP
pears to know. but they evidently believe
that a messiah will truly come. Of
course it Is merely a superstition, and the
