MORE TROUBLE OVER SILVER.

1t is reported from Denver. Colo, that
the unsettled condition of the silver mar
ket is causing serious trouble among
Colorado smelters and those mines pro-
ducing low grade ores, and unless some
thing is speedily done by congress hun
dreds of low grade mines in the safe
will be compelled to close down. When
the price of silver went up under the
present silver bill the low grade produc-
ers sent thousands of tons of ore to the
smelters viii h was purchased at the adj
vanced price, less the usual margin for
smelling charges and fluctuation in
price. The smelters are now loaded
down with low grade ore which cannot
be profitably treated at the present price
of silver, while those producers cannot
find a market for their ores. 1t is stated
that several firms in Denver figure their
loss since the decline at 10 cents per
ounce on "a, 800, 900 worth of mineral.
If congress shall act upon the sugges-
ton that the government buy all the
silver bullion now in this country and
then excluding foreign silver from this
market on equal terms with the products
of our mines, it is believed the price of
the white metal will again be forced up
in which event our Colorado neighbors
will be relieved from the present squeeze;
that is. if they can hold their grip until
that form of relief comes.

PRESIDENT PLUMB.

From the Santa Fe Monitor.
The course pursued by Senator p. 3.
Plumb throughout his senatorial career
has so endeared him to the people. not
only of Kansas but of the entire west,
that it is no surprise 10 note that he is
being seriously considered as the prob
able candidate Of the Republican party
for president in 1892. 1t has long been
known to those who are familiar with
public affairs at Washington that the
junior Kansas senator works more
hours, writes more letters. CLEANS the
pith Of more newspapers, introduces
more bills and pushes more of them
through congress than any other one
man. Senator Plumb would, in the ex-
ecutive office. do for the entire country
what Wanamaker has done for the
postoffice department. He would in
troduce practical business methods
throughout all departments. because
he Is thoroughly practical man. His
knowledge OF public affairs u thorough
and II Is seldom that even the Older
members attack him IN debate upon
questions that require deep research and
minute information.
Senator Plumb cannot under any cir
cumstances be induced 10 champion a
measure that does not appeal TO his judg-
ment as being in the interests of public
welfare He has no time 70 waste in fol-
lowing visionary and impractical
schemes.
A careful scrutiny of the proceedings
Of congress during the past thirteen
years would reveal very few errors Of
Judgment on the part Of Senator Plumb.
and il would be no error Of judgment
for the people to promote him 10 the
highest office within their gift

KANsA as FAR IN THE LEAD.

The editor of the KIowa county Signal
returned last week from a trip to lndi-
ana and Illinois, and announces in his
paper that he is better prepared than
ever to do his part in making things
hum in Kiowa county in the way of
getting ready for the big immigration
Kansas is bound to get during the next
twelve months. Kansas people, he as
sures his readers, "have only to compare
their condition with that of the farmers
of Indiana and Illinois in order to be
perfectly contented with the country in
which they live. With a crop only
every other year, which is not the case,
Kansas farmers make more clear profit
than their eastern friends with good
crop every season, which is also not the
case. For be it remembered, crop fail
ures are no more common here than

Whatever else may be said of Parnell,
no one will accuse him of being an anna
teur in politics. He has succeeded in
raising tremendous amount of enthusi-
asm for himself, and consequent depreci-
alive cry against Gladstone, in which
could be heard murmurs of Gladstone,
the hypocrite," merely by modestly re-
ferring to Gladstone as the dictator.
But his triumph did not cease there, for
the shouts for Parnell were mingled with
cheers for Mrs. O'Shea during his recent
speech at Dublin. The Brooklyn Eagle
Sums the condition up in the remark:
The fervor of Irish hearts is too much
for the balance OF Irish heads"

THE LOTTERY EVIL.

The anti-lottery party of Louisiana is
evidently dissatisfied with the progress
of its reform movement, and HOPELESS of
being able to successfully fight an enemy
with such immense power as that pos
sessed by the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany, for the executive committee has
issued a pamphlet appealing for an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, forbidding the states from
establishing any lottery, and from grant
ing any lottery licenses whatever, and
annulling all existing lotteries.
This seems to be about the only way
Of handling this evil, if public sentiment
in Louisiana cannot be aroused to proper
action, as the anti-lottery postal law has
not accomplished much. Besides, it
would be easier to obtain national legis-
lation on the subject than state legisla-
ton, as the money influence of the Lot
terry company could not be exerted
with the same strength as it is in Louis
lana.

CONTEMPLATE.

The EAGLE is possessed of a desire to
say TO those of its readers who have not
tried to keep themselves posted on the
ms and outs of the Indian troubles in the
northwest, which have been attracting
some considerable attention for two or
three months past, that the whole thing
seems one of those applicable outrages
wherein the innocent pay the penalty.
There will be some Indians killed up
there, but their killing will be but a
species of murder. The poor, miserable,
half-starved and defrauded beings did
not want 10 fight. They had no idea of
fighting the United States, or the author
tiles. But after months of hissing-on.
nagging, threats, bulldozing, and the like,
distrust. fear and excitement have by
turns swayed them until in their ignor-
ance they have in individual and
in tribal instances run away
TO hide, and when pursued and brought
to bay have shown a disposition to fight
back, because they did not know what
else to do. If now following the murder
of old Sitting Bull there is brought on a
general war, it will not he because the
poor miserable Indian wanted it or ex-
pected it. The operations Of Miles and
he war department would have been
but farce had they proved less Of real
tragedy. If the Indian is to be annihi-
lated let him be killed. not murdered.
Let the government round them up and
drown them by cage fulls as the city
browns its surplus dogs, and not starve
them TO desperation and then pursue
and slaughter them as wolves.

Too Strict on Wichita

From the Haven Independent.
Uncle Dan Anthony makes e vigorous
kick every now and then about the
Joints Of Atchison, Kansas City, Kan,
Topeka, and especially Wichita. II
seems that he would be too strict on
Wichita men, IL he had the power,
when the fact is considered that
Wichita is twenty-eight miles from
Clearwater. 80 from Geuda Springs. Gu
from Caldwell, % from Mt. Hope and is
situated on the Arkansas river and noted
as a lex town generally. You know,
Uncle Dan. that il is nat'ral for a man 10
banker after something to take the slick
taste out Of his mouth.

The proposition contained in a measure
prepared by the irrigation committee OF
congress and presented to that body
which provides for ceding to the states
in which they lay the arid lands of the
government that are susceptible of irri-
CATION, seems to be q generous scheme
on the part of the government in one
sense, and yet in another it will afford
the government happy radiance of a
large area of land that is undesirable
property for the government because it
calls for the expenditure of immense
sums of money to render them habitable
after being given to settlers. 1t will be
equally as generous q on the part of the
states to accept the donations.

MOVED TO WICHITA.

The Kansas Cultivator and Stockman
formerly published at Marion, has been
moved by its proprietors to this city, and
the first number of volume three has
made it appearance. 1t is a sixteen
page journal of the approved size and
make up of agricultural papers, and the
price is one dollar per year. The Guilt
vator and Stockman has a wide field, the
best and richest field in the west land has
advantages over any like paper of the
character published anywhere in this
state, in it's new location, and all it has
to do to succeed grandly is to simply fill
the field acceptably.

1t is mistake TO imagine that Parnell
was fiercey excited and had lost his self
rontrol when he attacked the door of
United Ireland with a crowbar, as the
chances are that the use Of that imple-
ment was deliberately chosen 10y Parnell
Tor effect. He understands thoroughly
the excitable nature Of the people to
whom he is appealing and who have just
decided with him that they will accept
no scheme of home rule that does not
enable them to settle the land question
and give them control of the police.

While the Kentucky constitutional
convention was discussing ballot reform
the other day, municipal election was
in progress at the state capital, in which,
a local paper says, 1.-The market ruled
firm at S25 and the price of drinks" and
adds: IF the convention had adj urned
that day and watched the influence of
Doodle on the colored patriot lis MEM
bers would have gained some valuable
information as to what is needed to ele-
vate franchise"

A Topeka correspondent of the New
York Sun draws the following pen pic
ture of Willis: "He is a man of me-
dunn attainments, a practical farmer of
a poor sort, an avowed infidel and a per-
son of low cunning and sharp practices
in a business point Of view. He has a
ready flow of words and paucity of
ideas. His farm is naturally good one,
but its buildings are old, rotten and
propped up, while weeds have been the
chief products"

An exchange says: Complete returns
from all the counties in Texas show the
Democratic majority in that state at the
last election to have been upwards of
$4,000, the greatest in the history of
the state" Offices come pretty high
down there, but that doesn't seem to
lessen the demand.

The Atlanta Constitution, the leading
Democratic paper in the south, warns
Governor Hill that "the United States
senate is a cemetery for the men who
aspire to the presidency" and adds: "The
Cleveland ring in New York is making a
shrewd play to get the governor out of
the road before 1892" 1t is observable,
however. that the governor. or some of
his fool friends who are grooming him,
possess more of the quality of the taurus
that contested the right of way with the
railroad locomotive, than of good judg-
ment, and with similar consequences if
persisted in.

Hope seems to have been revived in the
breasts of the champions Of prohibition
by the introduction of a measure in con-
gress to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants in the District of
Columbia. The C. of p's. aforesaid ap-
pear to imagine that they see in this
measure much encouragement for the
ultimate triumph of their hobby through
national legislation, but if they never
receive any more substantial support
than the introduction of the measure re-
ferred to in congress, they are doomed
to sad disappointment. The national
capital is the last place in this country
where prohibition will be even at
tempted.

The country don't take very kindly to
the Window proposition to issue more
bonds as a means of relieving the money
situation by increasing the volume of
currency. The average citizen, while
admitting that he is not versed in the
science(D of national financiering, fails to
appreciate the necessity for increasing
the national debt that way, inasmuch
as treasury notes are just as valid prom
ises to pay as bonds, and the former can
be issued much quicker and cheaper than
the latter. And just here we take occa-
sion to remark that, while ..'in the multi
tude of counsel there is wisdom" it
seems TO us that, in the present emer-
gencv, a deal of valuable time is being
wasted in useless counselings on the all
important question of providing more
money. Pass the free coinage bill to
take effect at once, and stop dallying.
