suNFLoMER SKINNER.

1t is now a rule with Senator Plumb
that when he sees foolish bill to hit it.
What has become of the Newton ''Kan-
sas Fool?" Doesn't the hot weather
license him to say anthing?
What would the Emporia Republican
say to getting ingalls, out of the senate by
electiHg him TO the presidency?
J.R. Burton says he is not only in poll
tics, but he is in to stay. Mr.. Burton is
mistaken. He has only his mouth in.
The Second district may not be much on
hobbies, but there is just enough interest
in ceramics to know the right sort of ma
terial for congressman.
1t is very evident that "A. L. Mason is
trying to steal the reputation of THE livi-
Hest thing aaoat ON the Missouri river
from Leavenworth's pontoon bridge.
The Topeka Democrat says anybody can
beat Harrison Kelley That is what a
great many people said before his nomi-
nation. Father Eskridge will tell you
that.
Charles Scott, of the lola Register, says
he never swears. This is an exemplary in
stance Of Christian forbearance, coming
as it does, from a man who is trying to de-
fend Farmer Funston.
Mr. Pat Coney, of Topeka, has not in
informed his friends if he has written to
our senior senator to ask him what he
meant in his letter to d Lawrence gentle
man on the supreme court decision"
A rumor on the zephyrs that Jake Stotler
is wearing hickory shirt and carrying a
corn-stalk cane and otherwise counting the
Farmers Alliance engenders the suspicion
that Cliff Baker has opened the state
partnership campaign.
Boring for gas and other subterranean
treasures is not attended with that en-
thusiasm that it was year ago in Kansas.
But on account of their particular narrow
ness and small calibre, the old holes might
be utilized for political graves.
An Ohio paper would like to see Reed
and Ingalls, or ingalls, and Reed, the head
of the Republican ticket in 1872. There is
something that is better than that, but it
does not conform TO political methods
Plumb and ingalls, or ingalls, and Plumb.
The Democratic party of Kansas is di-
vided. There is no doubt of it. There
are lots of Democrats in this state red
hot" for a Republican senator-Ingalls.
In this connection it is possible to compli-
ment several members of the opposition
party.
The Farmers Alliance of Miami county
has resolved Ito support only those papers
which tell the truth" Now, if the ALI
ance will inform us of the name of the
political party in the majority in its or
ganizatiOn the state at large will be able TO
see their standard of veracity.
The report that one member of the Kan
sas delegation in Washington is about to
try the experiment of inducing rainfall in
Kansas by exploding dynamite in paper
balloons and by this action claim to be
champion of the farmers, did not men
ton the name of the genius. But no mat
ter. 1t has rained since.
If the Emporia Republican and the
Atchison Champion should give out of
material for the second columns of their
editorial pages, they can send up to his
Whoopship of the Topeka Democrat and
procure 'Ingalls Reviewed" BY the
way, Mr. TOmlinson never got due credit
of stirring these two Republican papers to
revolt.

TRENcHING ON OTHERS PRESERVES.

The first bale of this seasons cotton
crop is reported as having been brought
into Albany, Ga, on July 6, and sold at
auction, bringing 151 cents per pound
and weighing 320 pounds. 1t is little
early for cotton, and probably quite a
number of days will stretch between the
arrival of the first and the second bale of
the new crop; nor is the price indicative
of anything, probably, save the fancy of
possessing the first bale. Still the notice
of the sale of this bale, no matter how
far in advance it may be Of the crop,
should warn the Alliance that it is about
time for the preparation of the statistics
gathered by that organization in reference
to the cotton crop.
This Georgia freak is clearly trenching
upon Mississippi'S preserves, that state
heretofore uniformly producing the first
bale of cotton. Georgia is accorded first
place with her melon crop, and now that
she has Outrivaled the cotton state in the
early production of its great staple, we
may expect to see it enter the list with
Texas for the first wheat, Louisiana with
its ribbon cane, Florida with its fruits
and vegetables, the Carolinas with their
long staple cotton, rice, turpentine, hoop
poles and pumpkins, Virginia and Ken
lucky with their tobacco and hemp, Ten
nessee and Alabama with their coal and
iron, and Arkansas with its lumber.
Georgia has long claimed the sobriquet
of ''The Empire State of the South, and
she is making great staggert to maintain
the claim.

The Republican newspapers of Kansas
who hav e been protesting such great love
for the Alliance are now beginning to show
their hands. Abuse is being heaped upon
the organization and all its officers, nation
AL state, county and local, in large guam
titles It's part of the Republican plan to
disrupt the Alliance. gman Democrat.
For one the EAGLE denies the mild inn
parchment in the foregoing. But even
the Democrat will not deny that the
Jealous solicitude manifested by it and
its political associates for the political
welfare and success of the Alliance is
abundant justification for a most vigor-
Gus denunciation of some of the methods
employed for political ends.

IRELAND ON POPULAR EDUCATION

Bishop Ireland, in his address before
the National Educational association. in
session in 81. Paul. declared in favor of
state control of the education of the
children, even to the extent of making
it compulsory. He even went SO far as
to express regret for the necessity for the
parish school, and then in the next breath
commended the spirit of the parish
school, which. he declares, is wide spread
among American ProtesUants.
This is the most ingenious argument
in favor of a state church we have seen
for long time His reference to the
duty and Office Of the parent in the mat
ter of educating the child was equally as
adroit He places the parent first
and above every other agency. and
would make the neglect OF that duty
on the part of the parent. = crime: bur
after passing upon such dereliclon he in
sists that it is the duty of the church 10
perform the duty, the service for the
child that Is neglected by the parent.

QUALIFY THE HOWL.

If there is a newspaper in Kansas howl
ing for ingalls, that Is not hired to do so,
either by 50 much spot cash, or by the
prospect of cash, or by the hope of emOlu-
ment of some kind, The Champion is not
acquainted with the name of said journal
-Atchison Champion.
There is, and its name is the WICHITA
EAGLE. The EAGLE has not been hired
by ingalls,, or by any friend of Ingalls,; it
has never had a cent directly or Indirect
y from Ingalls,, or from the friends of
Ingalls;it has never had the promise of
an office or Of anything of value from In
gals, directly or Indirectly, and it never
expects to get an office through him, or
the promise Of one from him, and the
man who asserts to the contrary is not
right at heart.
The above charge against ingalls, and
the newspapers that support him is, on its
face, bid for spoils, coupled with the
declaration that the Champion would
have supported Ingalls, for a consider
alton.
The truth is. and it is one known to
everybody, that ingalls, is a failure when
it comes to securing offices for his per-
sonal friends, and that he has not enough
money and property combined to buy up
one such Republican paper as the EAGLE,
which paper supports him simply on the
grounds that we have not another man
in the state who, inside of ten years,
could reach the position in the United
States senate maintained by Ingalls,, nor
one who in that time could fill his place
in the eyes OF Kansas or Of the world.
There is nothing selfish or mercenary in
the EAGLES support Of ingalls,.

AN AGE OF PROGRESS.
From the Omaha Republican.

From the Omaha Republican.
1t has come at last; we said it would
said that hypnotism would sooner or
later be utilized in the way of benehtting
mankind. 1t has been delayed on the
road longer than we expected it would
be, but it is here and it has come to STAY
AS utilized, hvpnotism may not prove it
self to be as beneficial or valuable to man
kind as electricity, but it will have a de
cided tendency to bear the market in egg
Matching machines. To a distinguished
correspondent of the London Budget the
world is indebted for the benefit it viii
read from hypnotizing hens for Matching
purposes. His discovery of hen-hyp-
nothing was not accidental, but it was
made on the impulse of the moment, and
without previous study or experiments.
He had eggs that he wanted Matched: he
had no incubator, no hen was inclined to
brood so he determined TO hypnotic a
laying hen into a brooding one. and he
accomplished the task. 1t took but a
half hour to bring the subject into
placidity. and when once in that condi-
ton she remained so for four long weeks,
Matched the eggs and does motherlv duty
in covering them at nights. This Is an
interesting age.

The church is, indeed, most potential
educational agent, and no one will ques-
ton the right of the parent to invoke its
aid in imparting the form and character
of instruction that it is its province to
impart, but this obtains primarily and in
a general way to the moral and spiritual
training, and if it is to be extended to
the intellectual and physical, it must be
by the election of the parent recognizing
his inability to do so, and not by con-
straint from any source.

Now if congress would only do as well
by the country in the tariff legislation as
it is doing about silver. the next house
will be Repnblican.-Salina Republican.
The indications now point to just such
a cOnsummation in the tariff matter as
has been reached in the silver; and, upon
the idea that to a starving man a half
loaf is better than no bread, so such a
compromise in these two most important
measures may be accepted by the coun-
try. But circumstances alter cases, and
there is no more assurance that the coun-
try will approve of the compromises re-
ferred to by endorsing at the polls those
who forced them upon it by their arbi-
trary action than that the starving man
would regard as his true friend the one
who would wantonly withhold the food
he is entitled to, giving him only enough
to keep himfrom starving. AS before
stated these compromises only put off
the evil day for the foes of the peoples
best interest;the issue will be finally
Joined sooner or later.

A young writer, Rudyard Kipling, is
now the rage in England. He has
hurt his opportunities in America by say
ing that our women ought to grease their
voices. We read one Of Mr.. Kipling's

can interpretations of Irish brogue. The
Irish brogue is claimed as his character

A CLEVER STATEMENT OF FACT.
From the Urbana, (OD Citizen.

From the Urbana, (O.) Citizen.
The talk in the Democratic and mug
wump papers that the great, patriotic,
Republican state of Kansas is going to
retire Mr.. ingalls, at the end of his pres
ent term is libel upon its fair name
The Democratic assertion that he is the
special foe of farmers and champion of
corporations Is on par with their old
time charges that Lincoln was a babOOn,
Grant a butcher, Morton a libertine,
Logan a rebel and Blaine a public plum
derer, and Is no more worthy the cOnsid-
Grafton or cTedence of any sensible man.
We can not believe that any great num-
Der of farmers will be guiled by any such
silly and contemplate ISLANDERS, or that
there is any doubt whatever of the cleo
ton of a legislature strongly Republican
in both branches, and strongly in
favor of his reelection. It would be a
national calamity to retire Mr.. Ingalls,
from the senate, blunder akin to a
crime, and greatly would Kansas rue the
day the foul act was cOnsummated. We
wish him increased honOrs, and length
of days beyond the longest-lived of his
ancestors. 1t would please us exceed
inglv, in this day of political supersensi-
tiveness, mugwumpery and demagOgy,
to have an opportunity to vote for him
at a presidential election. Such a ticket
as Ingalls, and Reed, or Reed and Ingalls,,
would be in itself platform that the
country would understand, appreciate,
applaud and approve. 1t would carry
every northern state.
