dences of returning prosperity. Almost
every issue of the EAGLE contains para
graphs speaking of the improved condi-
ton of business; what has brought 1T
about? This improvement in business,
this restoration of confidence, this in
crease in prices was not brought about
by the discussion and passing of the
Morrison or Mills tariff bill or
Cleveland tariff reform" put everything
possible on the free list. Reduce the du-
ties on all dutiable articles. to the lowest
possible point" as recommended in
Cleveland's first message. 1t was not
brought about by passing a bill that
would encourage foreign manufacturers
and importers, but by the bill you de-
grade as the Mckinley Monstrosity. +"
which, thank God. has become a la of
this land, and no state in the Union will
derive more benefit from it than Kansas
will.
The men who are robbing and preying
on the farmers of Kansas are not eastern
manufacturers or capitalists, but Kansas
citizens themselves. 1t is your western
farm mortgage companies, your loan and
real estate agents, your scoundrelly
real estate boomers. The eastern
farmers of Kansas have not received an
average of over per cent for their
money, while the middlemen, the agents
and mortgage companies. have exacted
from to 20 Ger cent additional. There
are lots of men here in Kansas now who
getting from ID to "a per cent for money
loaned to farmers. The Mckinley bill
will soon put an end to that, for 1t will
make times so much better the farmers
of Kansas Will pay their debts and stop
the extortion. Senator Plumb and Ed
Itor Murdoch are certainly on the wrong
track on this tariff question. As choice
between hot winds and tariff reform as
Kansas farmer says, give me the hot
winds. h
1t astOnishes me to see how many
thousands of Republican farmers in Kan
sas are being deceived by Democrats and
free traders into joining the Farmers
Alliances and supporting candidates that
endorse the Democratic policy on the
tariff question. They will many of them
vote to drag the country back into the
slough of business depression and low
prices from which they have just been
lifted by a Republican administration.
Yours for the right, G.. P. MILLER.

The editor of the Sumner County
Standard Dem who was secretary of the
Pratt convention, has this to say of the
little coup de grace of the party bosses
at Hutchinson: 1.-The Democratic con-
gressionsl committee of this district met
yesterday at Hutchinson and formally
Endorsed Jerry Simpson, which action
permits of his name being printed on
the Democratic ticket We opposed the
endorsement of Mr.. Simpson at the
Pratt convention for certain reasons
which we considered soundand in our
own judgment it would have been best to
have left his name off the ticket"

A TRICK FOR REVENUE ONLY.

The Democrats of the district do not
appear to be making indecent haste to
fall In line with the Simpson contingent
at the behest and dictation of the party
bosses, otherwise the District Central
committee, promulgated from Hutchin-
son last Thursday. They all understand
that it was simply an expedient to make
valid the decoy tickets that the manag-
er5 intend to put out for trading pur-
pOses-a sort of bait for suckers. A few
gudgeons may be taken in by the trick,
but game fish will not bite at it, Some
of the wire pullers may profit by the
scheme, personally, but it will only make
the lamentations of jeremiah the more
intense and bitter after he has sat upon
by his opponent and deserted by his
supposed friends.

THE SOMBART TRIAL

In giving a resume of the trial of the
famous Sombart murder case. which
took place last week at Ashland. the
Clark County Clipper pays Judge Sluss,
of this city, high compliment and gives
the result of the trial at that term of the
court. The Clipper says:
Saturday Judge SluSs occupied the
entire morning session of the court in
closing argument for the defense and de-
hvered the most logical and powerful
appeal that was ever made TO Clark
county jury. Congressman :. r. Peters
closed the argument for the state in a
three-hour argument in the afternoon.
and the packed court room pnd gallery
listened intently 10 his mastery and elo-
quent review of the evidence and the case.
At times even Jurors were effected to
tears by his touching eloquence. At
about 5 O'Clock the case was given TO the
Jury and they remained out until 6
o'clock Monday evening. At that time
Judge Price had them called into court
and after questioning each juror closely
as to their probability Of reaching an
a. yreement and being told that they
could not possibly agree, discharged
them
We understood the jury stood two for
conviction of murder in the first degree,
one for murder in the second degree.
two for manslaughter in the first degree
ank seven for acquittal. The case will
stand for trial al the February term OF
court.

FLUMB's SPEECH.

The EAGLES readers will observe that
it has yielded considerable portion Of
its space this morning to the great
speech delivered by Senator Plumb in
this city Thursday night. The con-
densed report of the speech given in
these columns Friday morning, only
served to whet the appetite of the public
for the speech in full, and approaching
its value as a comprehensive and states
manly prosecution of the great economic
questions, in which the senator has taken
so conspicuous part in discussing and
giving shape, and of the issues of the
campaign in this state, that we cheer
fully accede to the popular demand and
give the speech verbatim.

clares that Levi Hedri,k. a Unionlabor-

Judge Botkin has been doing a great
work in the present campaign. Every
hour which he could spare from the
bench of his district has been devoted to
Republican ticket. And the judge is
always loaded for bear. He is ever
ready to meet Jere Simpson or the devil
at the drop of hat. While he particu-
larry espouses the cause of Hal, he is for
the whole ticket from top to bottom. He
speaks at Ulysses Wednesday night, and
the Republicans of Greeley can expect a
stalwart entertainment.

LIES ABOUT HALLOWELL.

The news or rather report, which is be-
ing industriously peddled over the Sew
enth district, that Governor Humphrey
is being traded off by Hallowelfs friends
in Wichita, is without foundation.
While nobody doubts that Hallowell will
receive more votes in this city than Gov
ernor Humphrey, or than any man on
the state ticket, partly from the fact
that it is his home, and partly from the
fact that he has many warm personal
friends and admirers among the Demo-
Gratis, especially among such as are eX-
union soldiers, he will receive these adj
ditional votes, honestly, and without any
trading. We have never heard of such
a proposition TO trade. The report was
undoubtedly started by Jere Simpson, or
by the managers of the Democratic party
for the purpose of hurting Hallowell
with the Republicans of the western
counties of his district, where such a re-
port will be hard to overtake with de-
NAL. SO far as Hailowell and his friends
are concerned, they are conducting an
honorable campaign, in which no dirt of
any character. has been resorted to, and
in which everything has been open and
above board, while the Democratic and
Alliance trades have been notorious.

A QUESTIONABLE EXPED1ENT.

''The anti-lottery bill passed by con-
gress will do more for the advancement

the Anthony Journal, than almost any
law that could be enacted" That that

vocates of the law is not to be doubted.
perhaps, but that will accomplish all
that is claimed for it is doubtful: in
fact, it is certain that it will not. 1t has
long ago been demonstrated that men
and women cannot be coered into moral
rectitude and every attempt to constrain
people to be virtues but arouses the
innate spirit of resentment. 1t is trench
ing upon the prerogatives and mission Of
the church and a step in the direction of
merging state and church The writer
believes all forms of gambling to be
wicked and lotteries not the least by any
means, but he doubts that man can be
induced to abandon the vice by cOmpul-
sion. His guess is that the anti-lottery
law will be repealed or become inopera-
tive on account of adverse pnblic senti-
ment when its scope and effects are fully
understood and appreciated.

Among the many love AFFAIRS in which the
0reat German poet, Goethe was engaged dur
Inc his long and brilliant career. that which he
had with Charlotte Won Stein is distinguished
nv the comparatively high social rank Of the
lady. the depth, tenderness, and duration OF her
lovers affection for her, the influence II had
upon him. the mystery attending Its sudden
interruption, and the fact that the thousand
or 40 letters which he wrote to her during
its continuance were carefully preserved By
her. and since her death have been published.
Latterly, Also an interesting controversy has
sprung up In Germany over the nature Of the
rotations between the pair some writer's In
oistlnE that they were criminal, but the ma
jority adnering to the well-establlshed opinion
that they wero perfectly pure.
i.
Goethe flrst became acquainted with Frau
Won Stein on his arrival at Welmar toward the
close OF the year 1775. She was then 89 years
Of age, or seven years older than he was, and
had been married eleven years, during the
hrst nine OF which she had become the mother
Of0even children. OF these children only three
ponS had survived, the youngest, Fritz, who
nftorWard became Goethe's pct being then
three years old. Her husband the Freiherr
Friedrich Won Stein. was Stallmeister. or Mas
ter Of Horse, to the Grand Duke OF Weimar.
He was seven years older than his wife. and is
described as q handsome. we'll made man, OF
propossessinG appearance and manners, and
perfect courtier. but dull and unimpressiona-
bic. and almost painfully pious. His official
duties kept him most Of the time at court and
hs even took most OF his meals there. 80 that
his wife and family saw but little of him.
Charlotte herself was familiar with court
life having been for seven years previ-
ous to her marriage maid Of honor
20 the Grand Duchess. Her husbands title Of
"Freiherr" 10 usually translated in English

Failing to check him otherwise, Frau Won
