JAMES G. BLAINE'S BROTHER DEAD

Wichita residents of the early seven
ties will remember unique character
who went by the name of NJ. Ct. Lane
and claimed to bea half brother Of
James q. Blaine, whom he greatly re-
sembled. Melville G. Lane was man
of physical and mental powers. He
dressed in blue jeans, was tall, brusque
and broad shouldered, had an eagle eye
and face that betokened power. In
short he was an educated staggering
genius, who was always prepared to
preach or fight at the drop of a hat He
dealt in real estate, traded horses and
dlscoursed political economy, moral
ethics and got 'fullern' goose" as oc-
casion offered. We remember his
telling Us once that he could
preach the hind sights off any
minister in Wichita. At another time
he said he was going to kill some one
we have forgotten who-and pay for
him afterwards He wrote some able
papers for the EAGLE and finally dropped
down and out owing some of our people.
Mr.. NJ. w. Levy holds his note yet for
STA and interest.
By dispatch in the Globe Democrat
we notice that Professor Melville G..
Lane lately died at Salem, Oregon, at
the age of sixty-two. The dispatch says
that the Blajnes have little to say of
him. farther than he left home in his
youth and changed his name He was
at the time of his death. in charge of the
government Indian school in Oregon,
which position he secured through Sena-
tors Dolph and Mitchell and which place
he filed with great credit to himself
He has lived in Oregon ever since he left
Wichita.

The immense crops produced last year
will go far toward establishing complete
confidence in Kansas as an agricultural
state. What we want now is heavy
immigration of thrifty farmers to de
velope the wonderful agricultural re-
sources OF the state. We want farm

State immigration Meeting.

From the Clark County Clipper.
The call for a state meeting at Wich-
ita on the 18th inst. to perfect the or
ganization of State ImmigrationiBu-
reau, is meeting with encouraging
Clark county is especially interested in
this movement for she will receive more
benefit from such movement than the
most of the counties Of the state and for
the very good reason that she will be able
to offer batter inducements to home
seekers and those wishing to start in a
new country.
Her wonderful resources and superior
natural advantages will secure the loca-
ton of fair share of the immigrants
whenever the tide sets this way. For
this reason we should take mold of this
matter in business way and give it at
tentlon the same as any other important
business transaction. We are all inter-
ested in this, for upon the securing of a
healthy immigration depends largely the
rapidity of our county's development.
We hope to be able in our next issue to
name the delegates to this meeting.
While local movements have been tried
and have not secured the desired results,
vet we feel confident that a general
movement throughout the state like this
will be of general advantage to those
counties that can offer especial ad-
yantages, and for this reason the entire
southwest should take hold of it and help
to make it the success which the au-
spicious beginning indicates.

HAT IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.

1t was thought that the object and
aims of the convention called to meet in
this city January 18th had been so
thoroughly promulgated throughout the
state that there could be no possible
chance of any misrepresentation, but the
way letters of inquiry are pouring in it
is evident that enlightenment is needed
The following is fair soecimen:
THE TOPEKA BOARD OF TRADE,
January 4, 1890.
To the Secretary of the Board Of Trade. Wichita,
Kan,
Dear sir-I have noticed two or three
times in the paper reference to a proposed
meeting to be held in your city on the 18th
instant for the purpose of devising some
means to encourage immigration to Kan
sas. Kindly advise me the basis of repre-
sentatiOn of this meeting as it is quite
likely that orr organization will desire to
send a delegation.

A meeting to take action touching
representation at the Wichita State I'm
migration convention, which takes place
on the 18th inst, was held in the rooms
of the Lockwood Mortgage company on
Tuesday evening last.
A. II. Lindsay was chosen chairman
and r. II. Lockwood secretary.
The Importance of united action in the
direction of securing immigration was
duly discussed, when the following gen.
tlemen were designated as delegates to
attend said Wichita convention:
R. P. McColloch, R. H. Lockwood and
John NJ. Russell.
The delegates were empowered to Sc
lect their own alternates and it was the
sense of those present that large dele
CATION of citizens, in addition to the ac-
credited representatives, should go to
Wichita on that occasion.

A state immigration convention will
DE held at Wichita January Is, $780,
Finney county should be represented.
The time for action is short. Prompt
work is needed if we shall reap our full
share of the benefits that will grow out
of this movement. Finney county must
have large addition to the present
farming population to make Garden City
prosperous. No county in the state can
offer the farming class of emigrants bet
ter inducements in the way of location,
better land, richer soil, cheaper lands, a
surer crop one year with another, more
healthful climate, than Finney county.
Let us wake up to our best interests, and
do whatever is within our reach to secure
a full share of the inflowing tide of
emigrants, soon to be on the move west
ward.

THE racket in Central and South Amer
lea, the health of the pope, the downfall
of Bismarck and the controversy over
Africa have pretty well absorbed the at
tention OF the foreign newspaper cor
respondents for months past, but one of
them over in Dublin catches his breath
long enough to announce that the potato
crop in Ireland is total failure this year
and petitions are in circulation praying
parliament to assemble and adopt means
of relief. The loss of the potato crop in
Ireland is certainly calamity, but to read
of it comes in at this time in the nature
of relief to long suffering public that
will insist in trying to learn something of
what is going on across the waters from
the American newspaper correspondents

TIE people Of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost of running the courts
was $3.50, 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
nclal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to a JUS, and honest adj
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
swelve months Of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
OF deficiency in the pay of jurors, etc.,
of about $1,000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

THEY OUGHT TO GET TOGETHER.

We understand that one of the valuable
and extensive land grants claimed by the
present delegate to congress, Hon. An
tonic Joseph, namely the Cieneguilla, is
for sale. We advise any and every per-
son desiring to purchase that very valu-
able piece OF property, to look carefully
into the title thereof. There may be
something rotten in the thing. We pre-
sumo after Nh Joseph sells that grant
and the Ojo Caliente grant to eastern cap
italists, he will swear that he never owned
any grants. In the mean time, however,
he claims to own these two, and still he
will run on an anti-land grant platform.
He and the platform and the Democratic
White Cap leaders ought to get together.
They seem to need it.

DURING three and halt years of the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
torial penitentiary there was received
from the labor of convicts and the feeding
OF United States prisoners the sum OF
$500. During the first twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 4 1889, to March 4 1890,
(there being about the same number OF
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1890 there was received the
amount OF SO 900, from the same source.
Facts arc facts and these facts mean that
the present administration OF the terri
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient. and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extravagant and inefficient.

THEY WILL NOT FAIL.

Mr.. ]. J. Hagerman, the organizer of
New Mexico's latest railway enterprise,
the Pecos Northern railroad, is a man of
remarkable success, and that road will
surely be built. Mr.. Hagerman was the
protector of the Colorado Midland rail-
road, an engineering wonder that has at
tracted the attention of the world, as it
tunnelled miles of rocks and pierced the
very clouds in order to give the mining
camps of Colorado a standard gauge outlet
for their ores. Many predicted its failure
when it commenced but had to applaud the
man who carried it through in the end.
For the past two years Mr.. Hagerman
has joined forces with Hon. G. B. Eddy
in the Pecos valley and there these gen.
tlemen have scored triumph none the
less great than that achieved by Mr..
Hagerman in Colorado, for the desert has
been made to more than blossom at their
bidding. Having conquered the noun
tains and the plains, it seems that Mr..
Fagerman is the proper man now to I'M
dertake the tieing together of the noun
tains and the gulf. Already his forces
are at work constructing the Pecos Valley
railroad to Roswell and when that is fin
ished, November next, the chances are
that all the details for continuing the con-
struction of the road into northern New
Mexico will have been completed. Such
men as Messrs. Hagerman and Eddy
know no such word as fail.

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to $52, 900 per
annum. During the first year under a
Republican regime. from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number Of prisoners, were $29 600.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

THE Denver News thinks, and express
es its opinion to the effect that Mr.. Gil

know Glider well, very well indeed, and
it matters not, what he says or does; the

STATEHOOD hasn't injured our neighbor
Colorado, to any very great extent. The

THIS thing of exporting American heir
esses to the continent and to England
and selling them for a title to British
and other roues is not very profitable
one either for this country or for the

sure the girls make fools of themselves,
but then how can that be stopped? Still,
it is great pity to see millions of good,
