A QUEER STATE OF THINGS,

In spite Of the depressing fact that
farm products were never so low in price
since the first settlement OF the valley, it
Is equally true that there is greater de-
mand for farms than at any time for
years. One firm with headquarters in
this city, and which firm represents some
eastern loan and land companies, informs
us that OF the eighty farms in Butler
county controlled by him and which
were without renters last year, all have
been leased for the next year with new
applications every day. The head of
another firm in this city Informed us
yesterday that all the farms in their con-
troll in Sumner, Harper, Sedgwick and
Klngman counties, hundred or more,
had been rented within sixty days with
new applications every day. This may
all seem anomalous but il is true and
means better times

Julian West found it after regainine

| subterr eanean chamber, it makes one
wish that their entrance to this world
had been deferred century or two.
Listen to this experience of Julian's
"Dr. .Leete accompanied me to my bed,

| musical telephone, with which all houses
are provided. He showed how, by
turning a screw, the volume of the
music could be made to fill the room. or

The air, cooled by the spray of foun-
tains, was heavy with the scent of flow

with vOluptuous grace to the music of
stringed instruments. Louder and
louder clashed the cymbals, wilder
and wilder grew the strains,
till the blood of the desert race could no
longer resist the martial delirium and
the swart mobiles leaped to their feet. The
cry Allah il Allahr shook the hall and
awoke me TO find it broad daylight and
the room tingling with the electric mu-
sic of the Turkish reveille."
Living under such circumstances, who
would wish to die and leave such de-
lightful environment? There uld be a
disposition to ''linger here below" just a
little longer than three score years and
ten. But, seriously, there is much in
this wonderful book meriting a careful

what DR.. Letti tells Julian, further, in

AN OLD BORE.

Is there no way TO shut off that long
haired, woman-suffrage crank Blair, in
the United States senate? He has been
taking up the time of that body for a
week, as he does every winter, talking g
about and urging schemes which nobody
believes in or wants, and because the
newspapers refuse to load up their
columns with his uninteresting driyel
and utopian notions he takes occasion
to denounce them in one of his inter-
minable harrangues. He announces
that he wants six or seven hours more in
which to deliver himself II what he is
giving birth to amounted to anything he
would have been an exhausted wreck
long since. The people OF his state will
very much oblige the people OF all the
sister states if they will call off Dir.
Blair and permanently retire him.

CUR FUTURE SUGAR SUPPLY.

The San Francisco Bulletin says that
the California beet-sugar experiment is
a success. Last year 1000 acres were
planted and yielded II, 800 TONS of SUGAR
beets, from which were extracted $50
tons of sugar. This was done at the
Watsonville factory, which ran forty
seven days. The beets brought an aver
age of 50 ton, and the farmers feel sat
lstied that they can raise them at a profit.
They have guaranteed to greatly in
crease the acreage this year, and the
output VIII probably be more than
doubled"
The practicability of growing sugar
beats has also been clearly demonstrated
inhansas and preparations are already be-
ing made for comparatively large area
of land to be put to that crop this wear.
Encouraged by the successful expert
ments in California and this state, In
diana is going to take hold of the new
industry this year with vim, while the
recent vigorous protest of Governor
Thayer of Nebraska against the reduc-
ton of the import duty on sugar in the
interest OF the beet sugar industry in
that state. which the governor SAYS will
be extensively engaged in by his people
this year If properly encouraged. all
goes 10 strengthen the conviction
heretofore expressed by the EAGLE that
within shorter time than most people
are willing to admit possible the United
States VIII be producing an amply sun
ply OF sugar for cur own use, of better
quality and at lower prices than that at
present imported.

COMMENCING TO SEE IT.

Says the Springfield Mass.) Republi-
can: Now that the farmers of Nebraska
and Kansas have obtained a cut rate in
freight rates on corn, which they desired,
the price Of corn in the market has
promptly dropped down far enough to
wipe outthe profit expected from the re-
duction. This result could have been
foreseen by almost anyone, and probably
was, but the politicians at the head of
the granger states wanted an opportun-
ity to make political capital, and seized
upon this as good one

A WEAK IMITATION ALL ROUND.

In its great zeal in behalf of Governor
Hill for the presidential nomination the
Topeka Democrat avails itself of every
opportunity to whack Mr. Cleveland, as
though 1t were necessary to destroy him
before its champion can have any show.
The latest scheme of the Democrat is to
quote Mr.. Cleveland'S own declarations
concerning the presidential succession
and the restrictions that ought to be put
upon that position. Here is one of the
eX-president's expressions that that paper
delights to quote and descant upon: "Of

tion of government by the people) not

the wrongs they have suffered, I am as

the wrongs they have suffered, am as
tonlshed at their moderation"
If, twelve years ago, Mr.. Ingalls, was
astonlshed at the moderation of his con-
stituents, when the effects of the wrongs
and burdens which he SO faithfully
port raYed were only just beginning 10
be felt, what in the name of heaven
must be his feelings towards those
constituents bv this time? Nothing short
OF the most supreme contempt and dis
| gust at their want of patriotism and
manhood. No doubt Mr.. ingalls, was
sincere when he made that eloquent ap-
peal for the people of his state. But he
| aroused no response in the hearts of the
people, they took no warning. They
have allowed themselves to be hood
winked and deluded by an army of local
politicians, "who have estranged them
only to prey upon them and maintain
political supremacy by their separation" !"
and for some unexplained reason John
j. ingalls, has never opened his head on
that subject from that day unto this.
Perhaps he followed the infamous ex-
ample of John Sherman and went over
to the ''salt water despots, where his
services would be better appreciated and
where John Sherman-unlike Sam
Peters-became millionaire in short
time on a salary of $1,000 year by ac-
cepting attorney fees for the purpose
OF influencing legislation. While all
this time the wrongs and burdens of the
toliers have been multiplying
in number and accumu!ating
In force until they stand
aghast at the situation and IN despair
ask, where is this state OF affairs go
ing to terminate?
1t IS too late to moan now. The pres
ent generation of Kansas farmers may
as well succumb to the inevitable and
make up their minds to become renters,
or take to the highway and join the army
OF strollers. The disease is too far gone
and too deeply seated to yield TO any of
the ordinary methods of restoration.
Nothing but ''heroic treatment" could
have any effect at this stage of the NAL
ady. Ii such state of affairs existed
IN Ireland. or in Russia, or in any of the
countries where the people are held in
subsection and at bay at the point of the
bayonet and the mouth of cannon there
might be some excuse for having to sub
NIT to system of 'Iarceny and spoIia-
ton" But here, on the wide and fertile
plains and in the rich and alluvial val
