SHOOTS OFF HIS MOUTH.

Congressman Morrill,, of this district,
says in an interview published in yester-
days Topeka Capital, that the ''kansas
rebellion originated with chronic kickers
and disappointed Office seekers" Major
Morrill, evidently understands the situa-
tion.-Atchison Champion.
Major Morrill, having held office con-
tinually for upwards of quarter of a
century ought not to be too hard on the
poor fellows who squeel from hunger.
AS it is charged, moreover, that the re-
bellion originated with the editor of the
EAGLE will the esteemed major, to make
his declaration good, please produce the
evidence that we are disappointed
Office seeker, or that we have asked any
Office small or great; and, in the mean
time, state, in his opinion, how much
meaner chronic Office seeker is than a
chronic Office holder?

The Ottawa Republican remarks in sub
stance that there is Republican majority
in either the house or senate to pass any
pension bin that ought to be passed. We
fear the Republican is mistaken unless the
house rules are revised so as 10 enable the
majority 10 control. Everything in our
opinion depends uDon the revision of the
rUleS.-Fort Scott Monitor.
If the Monitors apprehension is sup
ported by fact as 10 the house rules. then
its conclusion will most likely be realized
If the minority are able, under the rules
now operative, TO prevent or in any way
control legislation, what Is to prevent
them from eXerting the same influence
in changing or preventing any change in
the rules. Both parties. while in the
majority, have made effort to change
the rules in the respect referred to. but
they have failed. as Will more than
likely be the result of any attempt made
by the present congress.

A NEW DEAL.

From the FL Dorado Republican,
The Wichita EAGLE says the Farmers
Alliance has some good ideas that ought
to be put in practice. This is true enough,
but a good many of them are Impractical
ble.-Topeka Journal.
The farmers have been waiting some
years for one or the other of the two old
parties to put stop to the classes rob-
bing and plundering the masses, and as
both parties have failed to do anything,
they propose so take a hand themselves.
We want new deal in this country,
and until we get that new deal the farm
ing interests will have no redress. We
want a political revolution which will
put the men who work on one side,
against the men who steal and combine
and form trusts and water stocks, and
resort to all kinds of dishonorable and
disreputable methods, on the other side
That is what we want, and that is lust
the kind of political battle we are 60
ing 10 have in this star spangled banner
country of ours: and the sooner it comes
the better it Will be for the men who
ought to own the country but don't.
The flag of equal rights and equal
privileges is being dragged in the dust,
while the flag of the classes has taken
its place.
This government belongs to the people;
the men who are chosen to make our
laws are the creatures of the people, and
not their political bosses. The Demo-
cratic party had four years of trial and
failed; the Republican party now pro-
pose to take a hand at trying to repre-
sent the people instead of the classes,
and if it fails it will be driven from
power. The people are tired of this
monkey business; tired of giving every
thing they have, year after year, 10 sus-
tain government which seems TO be
bound body, soul and breeches by the
classes.

THE CASE WELL STATED.

Meanwhile the sugar industry is going
to move right along, nevertheless and
Notwithstanding Wichita EAGLE.
The EAGLE states the case well in the
above. We are surprised at the narrow
ness of the Champions view, for the
reason that it is usually far sighted in
stead of narrow sighted. Whatever con-
gress may or may not do in revising the
tariff we are very certain that no Repub-
lican congress will leave as new and
promising an industry as the manufac-
turing of sorghum and beet sugar unpro-
vided for. 1t would be far better to let
the worlds fair fall through and spend a
small part of the millions proposed for
that enterprise developing the sugar in
dustry than to allow the latter to fail at
its present stage. The $S0,0OO.0O0 per
annum paid out by the United States for
imported sugar is an item well worth
the consideration of American states

Wichita had sixty-two divorce cases last
year. while Topeka had LOG. There are
more Joints at Wichita than at Topeka,
but there are more dry goods stores at To
peka where women can run up bills than
at Wichita.-Kansas City Gazette.
AS soon as a paper commences to
write from policy rather than from con-
viction, that moment it becomes wholly
unreliable. 1t may or may not be true
that Wichita has more joints than To-
peka, joints being illegal, there is no def
mite way Of determining, but that news
papers which would assert that Topeka
has more dry goods stores than Wichita, or
even half as many, is no newspaper, and
is wholly unreliable. And, by the way,
under the head of causes for divorce in
the last census report, twice as many di-
vorces were granted for drunkenness in
Kansas than were granted in Texas for
that reason. Look for yourself.

ABOUT RESUBMISSION.
ANTHONY Republican.

Anthony Republican.
The Republican has not gone into the
interview business touching the matter
of resubmission, but intercourse with
Republicans on the subject has convinc-
ed it that there are three classes in the
party favoring resubmission-those who
desire to meet the question, dispose of it
and keep it out of politics, those who are
disguised with the present free whisky
laws, and those who do not believe in
prohibition at all. 1t has also discovered
that many Republicans are becoming
FESTIVE under the insulting and domineer-
ing policy which is now being pursued
by the rule or ruin cranks of the party
And it can safely be put down that a
similar state of affairs exists in every
community in the state Of Kansas
There is no use Disgusting these facts,
and the sooner the question of resub-
mission is squarely met and disposed Of
the better it will be for all concerned.

THE HAPPY NEW YEAR IN KING
FISHER

To the Editor o. the Eagle.
In the winter solstice, in the dawn Of
the new year, Venus holds her court
among the stars from morning until
evening. On the first day of the new
year the planetary influence is regnant,
and the daughters of the star-eyed god
dess hold their court in that terrestrial
sphere. The day will long be remem-
bered in kingfsher. The 22d day of
April. 1889, and the 1st day OF January,
1890. were in planetary conjunction; the
one as fast, the other as feast day.
1T is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," so runs the sacred word. The
ladies who received on New Years day,
and reflected the bright sunshine from
their bright eyes and beautiful faces,
were doubly blessed; not only IN the gen.
tie ministration OF good things, but In
the graciousness Of mind and manners.
No community OF equal size can boast
of as many beautiful and cultivated
ladies as Kingfsher. New Years day
was carnival of Joy and pleasure to all
who participated. Buggies and car
riages were flying in every direction and
jest and laugh answered each other IN
quick and joyous response.
j. pleasant incident connected with
the festive occasion was the call Of the
Michigan bows in the same spring wagon
IN which they entered the territory April
-, 1893. dressed in the same clothes and
much the worse for wear; the tar bucket
and frying pan jingling from the endboaTd
while the occupants picked the chickens
and made the feathers fly on the inside.
This party Of Michiganders can be de-
pended upon to make the feathers fiy az
any time. Il was double-barrelei out

As between the arteSian well system

large area of country that has been of
little value for agricultural purposes
hitherto, but which with an adequate
water supply will prove the most fertile

hardly be guessed what will be the re-
port of the senate committee that made
a tour of the entire west last fall and a
thorough investigation of the irrigation
problem. but if the committee did not
