WICHITA.

From the Hutchinson World.
One of the happlest and most impress
sive evidences of the new life that is
gradually asserting itself in Kansas Is
furnished in the increased activity in
business in our aggressive neighbor. the
city of Wichita. 1t was a pleasure for
the editor of The World to make a visit
recently to the ''peerless princess" as
that t1ourishing metropolis Is sometimes
styled, and he was not little gratitied
at what he saw and heard while there.
There is no doubt that the tide of pros
perity is once more setting strongly to-
ward Wichita. She has survived the
crucial test, that long, dark period of de-
preston following the collapse of her
phenominal ''boom" and her pulses
again throbs with the powerful current
of fresh blood, stimulated by vigorous
health. Her streets are no longer de-
serted, but are alive with busy, rust
ling population. 4here are few empty
business houses. and the great central
blocks are filled with tradesmen, while
the hum of industry makes the ears of
property holders tingle with delight. The
board of trade is supplied with an active
directory and the daily meet
ings are largely attended. The real es-
tate exchange also has daily sessions,
and there are unity of purpose and a
concert of action among Its members.
Wichita expects and will doubtless
derive great benefit from the opening of
Oklahoma territory. Her citizens are
determined to push the city with all
their might and main. 1t is sincere
pleasure to note the signs of better times
for our sister city. There is no feeling
of jealousy in Hutchinson about mat
ter of this sort. The sensible people of
Hutchinson are not enviouS of their
neighbor's prosperity. Indeed they are
the rather rejoiced TO know that any
portion of this great state is favored
with increased blessings The growth
of Wichita means better things for
Hutchinson and the other cities of the
southwestern part of the state. We
have here our own sources of wealth
and Development and we shall, in an
honorable and good-natured way, do ali
we can to outstrip our neighbors. And
in the meantime we say, and say 1t SIN
cerely: "God bless us every one..'

KANSAS AND MEXICO.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
Kansas has the largest smelling plant
in the United States, turning out a
product Of $4,000. 900 annually, which
uses miscellaneous ores from Dakota,
Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Utah.
The Mexican fux ores are necessary to
10 the proper smelling Of these refractory
or miscellaneous ores. To exclude these
by high duty would render large per
cent of the miscellaneous ores val
ueless as the ores containing the
ingredients necessary to smelling
are limited IN quantity. Air. James I.
Mathews, large ore buyer OF Colorado,
in protesting against the exclusion of
Mexican ores, says:
81 believe that the United States
should be the greatest smelling country
in the world, and while we have large
quantities of ores in our mountains, still
many of them are of refractory char
acter, and we should not hesitate to use
those of other countries when they can
assist us to put more money into the
pockets OF our people"

Those who clamor for "a special session of

The EAGLE is not convinced that a
stay law would be the best thing, even
for those when it might be specially in
tended to benefit; but OF the power of
the legislature to pass such a measure
can not he denied. Ii is not an impair
ment Of existing contracts, and the
holder of such evidence of Indebtedness
is none the loser, because the rate of in
terest goes on uninterrupted and unim-
paired as long rs the principal remains
unpaid. And herein lies the principal
objection TO that plan of relief-the debt
grows bigger during the interim whether
the debtors ability to pay is increased br

objections 10 the stay law, whatever the
arguments in favor of it, without such
specious pleas as the above quoted from

MAKE A BAD MATTER WORSE.

Secretary Window may profess sympa-
thy with the silver interests of the coun-
try as much as he likes, but as long as he
insists upon having his plan incorporated
in and made the basis of whatever law
congress may pass on that subject, the
friends of silver extant cannot but re-
gard him with suspicion. The policy of
leaving the volume of currency to be
coined to the discretion of the secretary
of the treasury is, in our Judgment, a
conspicuous cause of the present imam
cial stress upon the country. If, in the
exercise of bis official prerogative he had
caused to be coined four million dollars
a month, the maximum under the pres
enc law, instead of two millions, the
minimum, even during the eleven
months of his administration, there
would be twenty-five millions more in
circulation than there are today. To IN
crease the maximum limit of coinage a
half million q month, as he proposes,
will affect nothing so long as the amount
to be coined up to that amount is left
discretionary with him.
Another extraordinary change that is
proposed is to strike out the minimum
limit of coinage Of two millions a month
that the present law makes obligatory.
With this eliminated the matter of coin
age would be wholly in the discretion of
the secretary, and ne could suspend it
altogether, and from the logic Of his pol
icy hitherto who doubts that he would
find plausible excuse for going TO the
extreme in a short time? 1t were infin-
Itely better TO remove the limit altogeth-
er and likewise the secretary's discre-
tionary power, requiring him to coin all
the bullion, both gold and silver, that is
offered. 1t would be impossible to in
ilate the currency in two years TO do any
harm, and if by that time it became evil
dent that the volume of money would
grow beyond the needs of the country
/ congress could then modify the law, or
suspend it altogether if necessary.
Mr. Window is unquestionably q
! shrewd financier, but If his real sympa-
! thies are not with the monied interests
the east the people are misjudging him.

1t is a great gain when 4 man sees the
real foundations OF success In life with
such clearness that he is no longer con-
fused or led astray by illusions. Every
conception OF success which does not de-
pend on honest work intelligently and
faithfully done is an illusion; concep-
ton, that Is, W hich is essentially mis-
leading and which sooner or later in
wolves disappointment or defeat. II is
by no means uncommon TO hear men ex-
plain the success OF others by refer
ence to personal influence, claims Of
friendship, luck or chance. That all
these elements at times enter into q
mans life is undeniable; but no man
ever yet won true success or kept II
who depended on any OF these things.
Friendly influence sometimes opens the
door TO fine position; piece Of what,
for lack OF fuller knowledge, we call
pure luck, sometimes brings man .
fine opportunity; but no man can hold
the position or prove himself equal TO
the opportunity without discovering
character and capacity. In the severe
competition OF life, sooner or later,
mans claims are adjudicated on the
basis OF what he really is. The one
thing upon which we must all depend
for our real success Is the quality Of our
work. No man who holds his position
by mere tact, by the goodwill Of others,
by friendly influence or by any Of the
numerous combinations which may be
effected by skllliul tactician, has any
real foothold In life; he may be swept
away In a moment There will come
time when tact will prove unequal 10
the strain Of the situation, when friendly
influence will be una yailing, when
the fortunate combination can not be
made. He only is secure whose work
has the quality which makes 1t essential
to the success OF an enterprise. A
man whose work is stamped with hon
esty and competency depends for his
position in life on something which Is n
part Of himself, not upon extraneous
combinations Of circumstances. Put
your strength into the doing Of your
work and the question OF stability and
success will settle itself : Christian
