Our wide awake contemporary, the
Arkansas Valley Democrat, published in
the live, progressive young city Of Arkan-
sas City. with q fairness and frankness
that always characterizes its utterances,
has these nice things to say about the
Peerless Princess;
Wichita is the county seat Of one Of
the best counties in the state. She has
splendid railroad facilities. some large
wholesale houses and two large pork and
beef packing establishments. She has
electric lights. electric motor street rail
ways. and pushing. earnest and cour-
ageouS set of business men. She Is built
ON slightly. healthy location. and is a
city already large enough for a popula-
ton Of 1900. Instead of hating in her
growth and march Of progress during
the duh seasons and general depression
of the past two or three years. she has
been making tremendous strides forward,
and has kept up not only the appearance
of life. but the most stirring business ac-
tivity of any city in the state. She is
gaining ground daily, and Is fighting
bravely to compel universal recognition
Of the supremacy she already possesses
rs the commercial metropolis of the state
and the great southwest.

Everything in Kansas is growing so fast
now and the prospects for an abundant
crop are so excellent that the few who
have been kicking have become ashamed
to think that they ever grumbled at Prov
idence.-Kansas City Times.
Yes, everything IN Kansas is growing
Just as fast as you indicate, and the pros
poets for on abundant crop were never
better at this season of the year; but
there has been no grumbling at Provi-
dence that we have heard or heard of.
True, there has been some kicking, but
it has been against the brazen efforts Of
those who would by their wicked schem-
ings and manipulations multiply the
bountiful benificence of kind Providence.

WHY INGALLS, IS POPULAR.
From the New York star

From the New York star.
1t Is curious. SAID Senator McPher-
son, of New jersey, the other day, that
the reason IS not generally known why
1lr. ingalls,. of Kansas. Is always voted
INTO the vice presidents chair Of the
senate whenever its regular occupant Is
absent 1t Is not because his colleagues
want to remove his raSping tongue from
the floor bat because he i not only one
of the best parlIamentarianS and presid-
ing officers that the senate ever had. but
l.. besides. one of the jolliest good fell
lows and popular men in Washington.
Ills sarcasm Is only the bitter skin OF
nut tu!l Of the sweetest milk Of human
kindness.
The senator might have added another
reason well known IN Washington, and
that Is that Mr.. Ingalls, needs the addi-
tlonal salary which : paid TO the vice
president for term. The amount paid
to . senator Is 5000 year. and the vice
president pro tenn receives -. go. So that
the additional 3. 020 helps the senator

EXTRANEOUS CRITICISM.

SPIvEY, Kan, April 10, 1890
To the Editor OF the Eagle
In your issue of today, in speaking of the
South American trade, you say the United
States did nothing to get it and let the
English 90 in and take it. ''subsidiZingthe
first steamer into MOntevideO." That
would look encouraging to subsidies, We're
it not for the fact that the subsidy was
only for carrying the mails. Also, the
United States did do something to enceur-
age trade behind our Chinese wall. " They
put a tariff on every article going into the
construction of q ship so they could not be
built in this country and then forbid
Americans from buying any thing made
any where else by passing law forbid
ding any fOreign-built ship from sailing
under the stars and stripes, although
twelye-eighths Of her might be owned by
American capital.
SURE ENOUGH KANSAN.
Our correspondent seems to criticise
our statement of facts as to the present
situation of the affairs referred to more
for the sake of criticism of the govern
ment's protective policy than to aid in
calculating the problem as it is. That
policy. as he must know, was adopted
early in the history Of the government
and has been varied in its application to
meet the exigenCies Of the government at
different times. 1t IS as much the fixed
and settled policy of the government to-
day. as ever it was. and viii remain so as
long as the government retains its pres
eut form. But this will not prevent its
being modified as changed conditions
may require. As to its application 10

our South American neighbors, all that
Is asked is that our vessel owners may

The State Board Of Agriculture at the
same time. in communication with ev
cry township Of the state, estimated the
average yield of winter wheat at %. SO
bushels per acre, or 35,060,048 bushels.
The Boards estimate of the years corn
crop was an average of forty bushels per
acre, on an acreage of 6,S2O, 693-a total
of 276, 541 1888 bushels.

The value Of the states herds and
flocks, its cattle horses and mules, swine
and sheep, may at a very low appraise-
ment be set down at $4,000, 900 and the
surplus products for the year 1889 at
$40, 1000, 000-this in a year much talked
of as "a dull time and of low prices.
The prodUctiveness of its surface (in-
Guiding the rapidly developing sugar in

parallel in wealth-production in
its unlimited deposits of coal, zinc, lead
and salt, SO easily available to those who
efficiently seek them. CThe salt industry
in Kansas is but little over a year old,
yet large areas are now positively known
TO be underlaid with solid salt 100 feet or
more in thickness, and last year the out
put officially reported was 547 .224 bar

Editor-C Congressman Phelan SAYS he
did not challenge Editor Fleming to NOR
