DEAR Strive wish to impress upon
you the necessity of having the full de-
mocratic vote in this County polled in the
election on November 4th, 1890. and to
urge you 10 use every effort to get all
the Democrats in your district to the polls
on that day.
The Republicans are thoroughly organ.
lied and united through out the state.
They have plenty of Doodle for any and
all purposes and are working hard to
bring out their strength, with the hope
that they will win through Democratic
apathy.
To meet and overcome them, every
Democrat must do his duty as a good cit
izen, and not only go to the polls himself
and vote but work for his party also and
see that his neighbor comes out and Votes.
Let us all vote and work for the straight
ticket from bottom to top, so that when
the count is made, we can feel that we
have done our duty to our state, and can
rejoice together in the triumph of the
glorious principles of Democracy.
Please organize band of good Demo-
crats in your district who will make it
their duty to see that every Democratic
voter is at the polls by one / o'clock, who
will send fer those that are absent and
provide conyeyances for the aged and
those unable to get there.
If there is any democrat in your dis
trict that is not fully in line and for the
entire ticket, have some discreet friend
to try by argument and persuasion to re-
move his objections.
Let US all work together and endeavor
to poll the largest democratic vote ever
east in Hardeman county.
Very truly yours,
AUSTIN MILLER, Chairman.

WHO'S SLANDERED?

Poor old Wichita gets it from all sides,
or rather the blame is shoUldered on a
paper of that city which published an
article some weeks ago stating that the
people in Stevens, Morton and Hodgeman
counties were starving. The press of the
several counties strongly repudiates the
same and censure that paper for publish
ing such damaging and slanderous
artlcle.-Kinsley Graphic.
1t seems to US, as it must to all fair
minded persons, that this thing has gone
about far enough. The article referred
to found its way into the Associated
Press dispatches and thus appeared in
all the dailies of the state that publish
the dispatches. The Kansas City Times
frankly admitted, in referring to the dis
patch in question. that it had reason to
believe the statement had its origin in
that city, But of course it did not and
does not serve the purpose of Wichita's
maligners to so state, after having said
all the hard things about her that their
unhealthy imaginations could invent.
This will not stand in the way of that
delectable outfit making demands upon
w iCilitt anu paper VI tiido SlCJ 1OI
favors of whatever sort the first time
and as often as a favor may be needed.
AS for the SANDER contained in the ar
ticle referred to, we fail to see where it
comes in, unless it be SANDER to state
that something occurred that would have
been an incalculable blessing when it
did not; for it be a fact that nothing
could have befallen all the section of
country referred to that would have
been of greater benefit than a one-to-
three-feet snow fall. AS to the destitu-
ton mentioned, that is an unpleasant
subject to discuss: but there certainly
can be no SANDER in stating the exist
ence OF a condition, in at least two or
three of the counties mentioned, that has
been proven several times by their own
accredited representatives,. armed and
equipped with credentials authorizing
them to solicit assistance from this peo-
pie. That there is no restitution in
those quarters now we are ready to be-
lieve, for the twenty carloads of provis-
ions and supplies sent there from Sedg-
wick county alone ought to be sufficient
to place every man, woman and child
there above want for twelve-month.

ANOTHER "STILL-BORN' INFANT.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Parkinson Sugar company of Fort Scott,
has been held, and review of the affairs
of the company. showed that profit had
been made every year since the adoption
of the new process. The past season.
especially, had been a good one, and sew
eral thousand dollars of Indebtedness has
been paid off. The directors were
instructed to proceed at once with the
contracting for cane planting for the
year. aud it was decided to plant 100
acres of sugar beets, the object being to
increase the length of the working sea-
son. The cane Will come In first, and
will require about two and one-haif
months work, after whick the beets
will give work for some weeks. 1t has
been demonstrated, says the Fort Scott
News, that western Kansas soil is
peculiarly adapted to growing the sugar
beet and experts have declared the Bour-
bon county soil TO be even more like the
French soil upon which the sugar beets
are most profitably grown. Mr.. Eli
kerns was elected manager of the COM
pany, vice Judge Parkinson. Here is
another sugar company and sugar plant
that is making success.
Yet, IN the face of such statements as
the foregoing and the one recently pub
hshed of the operations at Medicine
Lodge last year, there are those who
seem to oe willfully skeptical, and from
their would-be compromising illusions
TO it one cannot but infer that they
would re oice at the failure of this in
dustry that promises SO much not only
for the state but for the country at
large. We do not know that that has
anything to do with the said opposition
flor such it is IN fact) but it is fact that
most of it comes from points not en-
braced in the sugar district.
But notwithstanding this unfriendli-
ness 1t is gratifying to be assured-and
the published statements from Fort
Scott and Medicine Lodge unquestion-
ably furnish such assurance-that the
industry at those places is an established
success. which likewise furnishes an en-
couraging augury for the success of the
industry at other points where it is be
undertaken. 1t also affords encourage

HON. JOHN SPEER WRITES ANOTHER
LETTER.

Another southern letter will be found
in the news columns of the EAGLE this
morning from the pen of Hon. John
Speer. All of his letters have not only
proved entertaining but very instructive.
For years Kansas most prominent edit
or and citizen. For the matter of that.
MIR. Speer came to Kansas almost before
anybody. locating where the city of
Lawrence now stands in 1854, and in
October of that year issuing the first
Kansas newspaper ever published for
Kansas. He was pioneer for free
dom" in the truest acceptation Of the
declaration, and many and great were
the sacrifices which he made, not only in
privations and hardships, but even the
lives of two most beloved and noble
sons. Speer was the bosom friend of
John Brown and the most trusted adj
wiser of that wonderful man, Gen.
James II. Lane. who for years held the
political fortunes of Kansas, both as a
territory and as state, in his hand. So
everything that comes from Speer's pen
seems laden with INVISIBLE interests and
experiences that run all through and be-
tween the lines, for all old timers and
for every old friend.

OPEN THAT TERRITORY.
CfTY, Jan. 16, 1896

ARKANSAS CITY, Jan. 16, 1890.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Knowing it to be fact that there are
vast number of American citizens
throughout the country who have been,
and are now. PATIENTLY waiting the open
ing of the Cherokee outlet to settlement,
l beg leave to address few lines to you,
and to the public through your paper.
These lands must be opened to settle
ment, and there is no use fooling any
longer. They must be opened at least
one month earlier than was Oklahoma
last year, SO that there will be
a chance for those who homestead
claims to plant and grow crops
sufficient to sustain life at least.
We are all aware that legislation for the
benefit of the common people by our con-
gress at Washington, has got to be slow
er than molasses in january. Should
Abraham Lincoln had TO depend on such
slow, dilatory legislation by our national
congress during his day at Washington
as the people of today do, he certainly
would have been much grieved. TO say
nothing of how different the result of
the events of those days might have
been, but our congressman of those days
did not hang back until they had all had
a private meeting with all the trusts and
combines of the country, and send out
bids to all who they thought might have
a few dimes which could be brought INTO
use to make Legislation all the more rot
ten.
There are at this time fully one thous-
and people in this place who are patient
" waiting the opening of the strip.
Some of them are those who fell back
from Oklahoma last year, unable to get
homes there. Fully nine-tenths of the
people who are renting homes here will
tell you that they are here to go into the
strip, and get place they can call home.
Nearly or quite all of them have some
means, sufficient. perhaps, to tit them
out on claim where they could go right
along without any serious hardShips.
But if they are compelled foreman here
and wait until their all is gone, miser-
able hardships will be the result instead
of the thrifty growth which would fol-
low an early transplanting in that coun-
try.
Among these people have run across
goodly number of old soldiers. 1t Is
rather sad to see these old heroes home
less and compelled to let their days end
in empty hopes of hrving home IN the
land they fought to preserve.
We are aware that there are a great
number of people all over the country
who expect to secure homes on these
lands, and knowing that the EAGLE is
the friend OF the homeless and the home
seeker, l will ask the EAGLE to call two
strip meetings. one to be held at Wichita
the other at Arkansas City, both meet
ings to be held within the next thirty
days. AT these meetings these people
can notify the government at Washing
ton just how much longer they intend to
wait the opening of these lands. In the
meantime we will try and get an ex-
preston from President Harrison and
Jim Blaine as to how much longer they
intend to let few cattle barons rob the
thousands of American citizens of their
homes. Yours truly,
l.. S. MORGAN.

AS TO OUR CONGRESSMAN.

It will be pretty hard for the Wichits
Eagle to choose between Henry G. Siuss
| and Colonel Marshal M. Murdoch when il
comes to supporting candidate to sue.
coed Judge Peters in Congress.-Kansas
| City Star.
Well, now, it won't. When a con.
grcssional district for the southwest was
first organized, in 1872, the political
pins were all set and Murdoch could
have been the nominee of the Emporia
convention by just saying Eyes," but we
didn't. If we were ever cut out for any
thing at all it was not for a politician,
and we luckily happen to have sense
enough to know IL. AS for Judge Sluss,
he is honorable, honest and brainy-in
the latter quality, qualification or equip
ment more particularly, not being sur
passed by a dozen men in the entire
state, in or out of congress, but if he de-
sires or would accept any political Office
we do not know it.
Speaking of filling Judge Peters poti-
ton, Wichita has three or four men
who wiil fill the bill admirably, and
some of whom, no doubt, really desires
that distinction, and the EAGLE just as
strongly desires that Wichita may pole
the perslmmon. We would do anything
within reason that we honorably could
to land either of them on the floor
of the lower house, But there are other
bright men in this great valley
who are, probably, equally as aspiring
and equally as deserving, and the dis
trict being the largest in the United
States of America and the most popu-
lous, we shall not be found urging per-
sonal or local preferences at an untimely
season, nor in way that might prove
harmful to the chances of Wichita or of
either of her worthy aspirants. 1t was
our personal hope that Judge Peters
would serve another term, after which
would come new apportionment with
a district which would have more COM
pact community of interests. As it is,
however, the EAGLE will permit the
Kansas City and Topeka papers to go on
with their work Of making congressman
for our district, at least until such time
as the people under the law and in con-
formity with the rules of political de-
cency, get about the business of choosing
who shall represent them at Washing
ton.

county in the state, the purpose of which
is to encourage immigration TO Kansas
by judicious advertisement of its at
fractions. The executive functions of
the organization will be vested in COM
mittee of nine persons, who will have
charge of all excursions, make contracts
with passenger associations and secure
freight rates for immigrants. Hon. John
G. Woods was made the director for
Summer county.
1t is highly suspicious time for the
establishment of an immigration bureau
IN Kansas. There is certain to be. dur
ing the present year, large movement
of population to the west, and. by
proper presentation of its claims To their
favorable consideration, Kansas can
scarcely fail to secure generous share
of these hOmeseekers. Kansas holds out
to them the inducement of cheap lands,
which are highly productive: climate
of unrivaled excellence, and social con-
ditions which are certain to contribute
to the progress of the state.
