GUAYMAS, Dec. ,, 1890.
To the Editor o: the Eagle.
Large bodies move slow" This has
been the case with our party to marked
degree. But as Ex-Governor Ross said to
the people OF Deming, In his address on
the occasion of our stopping over at that
place: This Is not simply party of col
onists; it is state on wheels" We left
Newton at I p. IN. on Saturday. and, in
Guiding some eighteen hours of lay-over
delays, we got 10 Nogales at D. m

and forty-five head of cattle, we got cut

a good supply Of wood and

nights. The people enjoyed their STAY

All this red tape kept Us at Nogales

The name of this city, Coldwater. would
probably lead a stranger 10 believe that
this was strictly a coldwater town, but we
don't want that impression TO get out. The
Wichita EAGLE thinks cold water towns
are n. G., and Coldwater dont rank in that
class at all-she is growing, expanding and
has some commercial aspirations. Cold
water can be obtained here, but its only
use is to wash the taste of more stimulat-
ing liquid from ones mouth. Oh, no!
Coldwater's live tOwn-The liveliest in
Southern Kansas west of our windy rival.
-Coldwater Review.
The EAGLE spoke explicitly of cold
water towns, and applied its remarks to
that class without reference to the cir
cumstance of name. 1t is willing to
accept the Reviews statement in that re-
gard, with the assurance that its declara-
tons are in perfect harmony with the
point the EAGLE made in the article re-
ferred to.

We find this metallic criticism in the
Newton Republican: They had brassv
time down at Fort Scott when Gen.
Rice, late pulverized Republican, re-
turned from 0cala, where he made a
specially of inveighing against the Re-
publican party. The brass band met the
brass warrior at the depot and then
came the tug of wind-all of which
means, in the opinion of the Kansas City
Times, that the laureIless general is the
coming man. From a Democratic
point of view he is; from a Republican
point of view he is going-he is gone. /"
The Republican should make haste
slowly TO excommunicate one who has
done such valiant service for the z. O. p.
as the courageous general has He has
been a trifle wabbly of late, tbs true. but
we are giving him a chance with his
new party scheme.

Experiments with the Koch lymph
were begun in New York last week, and
they will be watched with a great deal
of interest by the public as well as by
the medical fraternity. Reports from
abroad continue TO indicate that the
lymph has as yet been in nowise as sue
cesSful as has been too hopefully, per-
haps, expected of it. Paris physicians
are particularly inclined to be skeptical
regarding the efficacy of the remedy, but
they manifest wholesome scientific
spirit by uniting with the city authori-
ties in further experimenting with the
fluid. 1t is very evident, as we have be-
fore said, that the profession is still very
much in the dark regarding the discov-
cry, the real value of which may not be
wholly disclosed for long time to come.

The Anchor Line steamer City of Baton
Rouge met with a disaster at Hermitage
Landing, three miles above Port Hudson.
La, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
which resulted in the total destruction Of
the steamer and the loss of her entire
cargo, together with the lives of two
deck passengers. The cause of the dis
aster was a Snag in the channel of the
river with which the steamer came into
collision. Here is another ungetoverable
argument in favor of a hberable appro-
priations for river improvements.

\ most excellent basis for an ac-
acknowledgement, if it were true, but it

came out against the Mckinley bill
weeks before the measure reached the
senate and weeks, therefore, before SEN

way, Is unanswerable--that was not

Of the question. The New York Voice
called for contribution of $4,000 from
women and children to be expended in
the cause in Nebraska, but the official
figures show that in Omaha there were
1,574 for prohibition and $4,000 against.

Statistics of our trade with South

The claim of the Alliance that they
are going to run things in the future
seems but the damascene flight and fan
tasy of drawcanser, or, in palmer Ian
guage, but the millennium of chronon-

Wichita was dropped from the clear
ing house report list last week for some
reason unknown to the officers of the
clearing house here, supposedly a mis-
take or oversight, as it was forwarded as
Il ual. There was an increase over the
same week last wear.

The Alliance is off on one proposition
and that is in its denunciation of the
national banking system. It's no mo-
nopoly, but simply safety There never
was so secure, so just and so reliable a
banking policy in all the history of pri-
vate and public banking as the national
banking law of today. Opposition to it
comes of prejudice. not reason.

On the Right track.

From the St. Joe Ballot.
Congressman Mansur is on the right
track IN his movement TO put an income
tax on the milliOnaires whose profits
are over $4,000. This viii not effect
the farmer, the laborer, the mechanic or
the poor class, but will make the rich
pay some of the taxes that are now
drawn from the poor. Those fellows
have been lodging taxation and making
the dependent pay for the pensions and
other expenses of the government.

The suggestion that has been passed
around proposing General Miles as a
presidential possibility does not meet
with the cordial response that was hoped
for or expected by his champions. The
Globe-Democrats' remark that to carry
out that plan would result in 'spoiling
good soldier to make a bad president,
finds number of responses.

Wonder if the eastern members OF the
senate and house think the west is Jok-
ing about its desire for financial relief.
If it is a joke it is mighty serious one.
1t is a joke with bond and filler attach

the links Of the slaves chain.

The Atchison Patriot made the state
ment day or two ago that Whopper
Tomlinson had declared that Senator In
gals would be reelected. This was
based on an outside, personal statement
credited to the Whopper; but he re-
spends through she columns of the To-
peka Democrat in flat denial. This is
like appealing from Caesar sober to
Caesar drunk.

Announcement is made that a number
of coal mines in Pennsylvania have been
closed for an indefinite period and thou
sands of workmen have been thrown
out of employment. Whether the Nc
Kinley law had anything to do with this
or not, it will be an easy matter to con-
vince the idle operatives that it did not,

A discussion is going on among legis-
lators of Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas
and Kansas to adopt uniform usury
laws. A prominent member of the Far
mars Alliance in Nebraska says that the
Alliance is not antagonistic to banking
per Sc, but that there are abuses which
should be corrected, and that the made
quate usury law is one of them.

When the errors in the tariff bill shall
have been corrected that measure will
be so unlike its original self as to be I'M
recognizable by name. Perhaps a change
of name may be found as necessary to
some of its most Objectionable provis-

We learn from the Topeka papers that
Martin Mohler, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, has returned from
a visit to the beet sugar mill at Grand
Island, Neb., and is satisfied that the
manufacture of sugar from beetS can be
made success, under proper circum-
stances, in this state. If Mr.. Mohler had
visited Medicine Lodge, this state, he
would have made the same discovery,
only of a more assuring character than
his Nebraska mission seemed to disclose.
The assurance of success in the enter
prise in Nebraska is well enough in a
general way, but practical domoustra-
ton at home is of infinitely greater
worth. and that has been made out at
Medicine beyond peradventure.

The esteemed Atehison Champion
heartily endorses the bulldozing methods
adopted by some of the Alliances to con-
troll the action of their representatives in
the legislature in the election of United
States senator, that are up to the Ku
Klux plans of few years ago. Hear it:
The Alliance nTember-elect from Mont
gomery county, Kan. has been notified
that if he betrays his pledge and votes for
ingalls,, he had better abandon all idea of
returning home He has concluded not to
vote for Ingalls, This notification and its
result is all right. The people do not pro-
pose to be trifled with this time. They
propose TO adopt measures that will fore
stall political recreancy and checkmate the
Ingalls, ixers. All honor TO the people.

SWEETHEART.

Through rustling Fields OF tasseled corn,
And stubble turning brown,
Along the tangled brier ways
Outside the edge of town
Where red leaves culver In the sun,
And striped squirrels DART
Clear thrills the plaintive, anxious, cry,
Sweetheart Sweetheart Sweetheart
The wild voice cleaves the golden air.
And fills the wide expanse;
And nature seems TO hush and wait,
To hear the quail's romance.
