THE EAGLE WANTS LIGHT.

We will bet that Col Murdoch, or who
ever writes the tariff reform articles for
the EAGLE. has never read the Mckinley
bill, has never compared it with the Mills
bill or the Morrison bill, and don't know
as much about the tariff as Jerry Simpson.
Medicine Lodge Cresset.
The EAGLE published list of all the
marked changes made by the Mckinley
bill, half-page of solid agate. Besides,
the EAGLE has had lying on its editorial
table for two months or more the full re-
port made in response to the Plumb reso-
luton, which report shows in plain fig
ures each and every difference between
the old law and the new.
The EAGLES editor does not claim to
be so profound or well read as either the
editor of the CresSet or as Jere Simpson,
but he has sense enough to see that there
is not a single eastern interest that is not
abundantly protecte 5, while for the
west he finds hens eggs, castor beans
and hay are taken care of by the Nc
Kinley bill. Will the astute
Cresset editor who knows so
much about the Mckinley Iariff bill
explain why the farmers of the west
were refused so much as one or two
dollars protection on hides? And while
that paper is at it will it please inform
its benighted and ignorant neighbor of
the EAGLE why the Republican house
sat down on all of Plumb's amendments
so hard, and then refused his provision
for a non-partisan tariff commission
proposed for the sole purpose of enlight-
ming the American people, to the end that
the taxes for revenue and the taxes for
protection might be equitably adjusted
to all of the interests and to every sec
ton of the country? And, having its
hand in, and being reinforced with so
much surplus wisdom, will not the
editor of the Cresset at the same time
tell us wherein the people of the west
are such fools for getting mad at the
party for wiping out
Plumb's amendment providing for free
coinage to which amendment majority
of the senate had assented:
We are no doubt very ignorant but
we are none the less anxious to learn
and from any source so it be not above
our weak comprehension.

FOREST DESTRUCTION.

Under this heading the Atchison
Champion discusses the subject of the
profigate waste of our forest products
in column article, in which it sets forth
the rapid denudation of the timber lands
of the north and east, and the compare
lively small area now remaining. 1t
makes practical application of the sub
iect in an economic way which we
quote
The mere fact of wastefully running
through that item of our national wealth
would be wantOn foOliShnesS bv itself:
but that is not half the injury resulting
from the wholesale destruction of our
American forests. Not only have vast
tracts of land, useless except for the
growing of trees. been reduced TO steril-
ity by their denudatIon, but the second
airy results are well established by
science, The effect of forests upon rain
fall has been clearly established; and we
have permitted an injury TO the coun-
try at large. the full results Of which
have been seen IL older countries, to 90
on without check. Our forests, which
are the breeders and equaliZers of rain.
protectors of adjacent cultivated lands
from drought and of water courses from
alternate exhaustion and flood. have
been wiped out in less than two genera
tons for the sole purpose apparently of
making the best possible race against
time"
After further discussing the cause of
this seeming craze, the Champion sug-
gests as a remedy points the EAGLE has
raised and urged heretofore, but which
we quote in the Champions way of
putting Jncm:
"What shall be done in this exigencv?
1t is too late To undertake anv restora-
ton of forests for the benefit of the
present generation. There are but two
things To be done: first, put lumber on
the free list and thus open the way for
the unrestricted introduction Of Cana.
dian lumber: and second, recognize the
necessity of planting trees on a large
scale for the sake of generations vet to
come-doing what Is being done here in
kanSas-planting trees extensively. and
doing what will from now on be done in
Yet larger scale in this state. Kansas
has now about 800, 900 acres of artificial
forest. This forest should, and will.
within the next ten years, be trebled.
for trees properly planted and tended
will grow almost anywhere in Kansas.
With free lumber and general tree
planting IN all the western states, the
evils Of forest destruction, viii, in con-
siderable measure. Be- offset.

It is almost impossible TO mention the
Kansas City Times in Oklahoma territory
without eliciting a cheer from the Okla
Romans. They all know that it did great
work for the opening of the territory, and
it is the paper of all others most read by
escitizenS.-Times
The difference between the circulation
of the Times and that of the EAGLE in
Oklahoma is about one hundred to, one
thousand. The EAGLE reaches all the
cities and towns in Oklahoma on the
day of publication, the Times not until
next day. The cheer the Times speaks
of must be one of derision for such a
statement

WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 1, 1890.

WICHITA, Kan, Dec. l, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Mr.. J. II. Pitzer, of Arkalon. should
fully know whereof lie talks before
charging such honorable and true Re-
publicans as composed Sedgwick's dele
cation and contingent to the Dodge City
convention, with being false to their
party and their candidate. Not one of
them faltered or failed of duty during
all that long and heated campaign in
their earnest support of Republican prin-
ciples, and the candidates of the party.
They were and are today, supporters of
true western Republicanism, and l take
this opportunity to extend my most earn
est thanks to them for the personal sup
port given me. Very truly, etc,

From the discussion of the senatorial
succession by the South Carolina papers
it seems somewhat doubtful that Senator
Hampton will succeed himself. The
Charleston World says unless a majority
of the members of the legislature change
their minds before the date for electing
a senator, Hampton will not be re-
elected. But at this distance it does not
matter much whether Hampton is de-
feated or not: if he should be his sue
cessor will be as intensely Democratic in
his views and actions as is the "old com
mander, as the general-governor-senator
is patronizingly called.
