UNFORTUNATE JERRY.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Next Tuesday the voters of the Sew
enth congressional district will be called
upon to decide whether James r. Halo
well will represent the business interests
of all communities and classes, in Con
gress, or, Jerry Simpson that of a secret
organization to the injury of all other in
terests.
Whether it will be man whose infu-
ence in congress will command atten-
ton, or a man whose influence does
not extend beyond the limits of his own
county.
Whether it will be man whose extern
sive acquaintance in the Seventh district
has placed him under obligations TO
every section, or man whose limited
acquaintance makes him a nonenity, and
under no obligations only to the organi-
cation.
Jerry Simpson is creature of the Al
lance organization, and not of any
party. He was not endorsed or nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention.
He has never acknowledged this courtesy
shown him, nor pledged himself to rep
resent that party.
His silent endorsement by the
Democratic convention was simply
for the purpose of allowing the Demo
Gratis TO vote for the man who will best
serve the business interest Of the district.
Jerry Simpson is an unfortunate man.
He is unfortunate in not having any
influence in congress. He is unfortunate
in not being a representative of the best

or the business of his district. He is I'M
fortunate in being nominated "a the
representive of secret organization.
While Mr.. Simpson may be honest in
his intentions he would be looked upon
in congress as suspicious man.
Mr. Simpson il not true to the organ
ization that minated him if he makes
promises 20 any party or interest outside
Of IT,
In every way Mr. Simpson is unfortu-
nate.
The Seventh district cannot afford to
have an unfortunate man, without infiu-
ence, nor a man who viii be looked upon
with suspicion by both Democrats and
Republicans.

The explanation offered by the census
bureau Of the discrepancy in the rate of
per cent of increase in population In the
United States between 1870-S0, and 1880
80, that is, that the enumeration for the
former period was defective, sounds
plausible enough, but it will suggest to
many of the cities and towns OF the
country the idea that the defect Is charg.
ed to the wrong account. At any rate,
the general impression is that a complete
and full count of the people Of this coun-
try would disclose full $4,000 600. But
it is useless to discuss it now; the count
has been made and the result announced
and there is no going behind the returns.
We have this consolation, however:
those of us who shall be living ten years
hence win be gratiied at the increase in
the rate per cent during the intervening
period as compared with the past decade.

The late Justice Miller was success
sively farm hand in Kentucky, drug
gists clerk, medical student and physi-
clan, a lawyer and politician and a JUS
tice of the supreme bench. Where else,
asks the Chicago Times, but in America
could man turn his hand to SO many
occupations and win good degree of
success in them all? We don't know
about that, but there is no country on
the globe, except America, where man
could serve thirty years on the supreme
bench and be forced to leave his family
nothing but a small house and a good
reputation. 1t is something of crafty
ing reflection that with rare exceptions
the really great men of this country
have died comparatively poor.

DOUGLAS, PHILLIPS, HENLEY

There scarcely can be Republican
in all the broad domain of Kansas found
who would not regret the defeat of
Senator Ingalls,. Kansas people are
proud of many men of the states past
and present but of no one more than of
him who presides over the most digni-
fled and brainest body of legislators that
ever served a people or enacted law.
John James Ingalls, is as unique as the
state which he has never failed to honor.
Kansas wouln't have been what she is
today with any other two men in the
United States senate in the places of
Ingalls, and Plumb, and the breaking up
of this wonderfully matched team would
rob the commonwealth of its present
chances and favors and of much of her
future possibilities.
OF course there are men who desire to
take the places of Ingalls, and Plumb,
but can the people of Kansas afford to
sacrifice the interests of the state to the
ambition of individuals or Of parties, is
the question now calling for an answer.
There are three, and only three men,
who can be elected as representatives
from Sedgwick county on Tuesday who
will vote for the return of Ingalls, to the
United States senate. The three men
are George L. Douglass, Ed. w. Phillips
and j. f. Henley. They are the Re-
publican nominees and are all for In
gals. Neither of the Democratic nomi-
nees, nor one of the Alliance nominees,
nor the Prohibition candidates would
vote for Ingalls,. They are for their own
interests and their own parties with
out reference to whether the position
of Kansas at the national capital
remains a leading one or a secondary
one. Kansas would cut as poor a figure
at Washington represented by the Dem
ocratic or Alliance nominees as Sedg-
wick county and Wichita would cut
with them as representatives at Topeka.
Men who have an interest in Wichita,
men who have an interest in Sedgwick
county, as well as the men who have an
interest in Kansas at large can make no
mistake in voting for Douglass, Phillips
and Henley as their representatives, as
they will vote TO return John J. ingalls,
to the United States senate and to his
seat as president of that great body.

sUNFLowER SIMMER.

Most of the "thuds" Tuesday night will
not be dull-at least TO the victor.
If the election should come on Sunday it
would still be weak day for Jerry Simp-
son.
A vote for anybody is vote for rest
from the distracting jangle of campaign
uproar.
1t is queer development that puts Dan
Anthony and Count Tolstoi in the same
basket.
Down at Caldwell Mr.. Doubleday, the
anti-Ingalls candidates chances are as
black rs midnight.
Jerry Simpson has failed to carry his
own county twice. And third times the
charm-for Hallowell.
The "Acts of jeremiah" will after next
Tuesday be found in the apocalypse of the
Seventh district political Koran.
Sol Miller is famed for saying something
that nobody else ever thought of. He
avs Plumb voted wrong on the tariff bill.
Mrs. Lease is reported to have called out
in a recent address, "Once more, my
countrymen, once more to the breeches."
Mrs. Lease is a splendid hand at obit-
uary poetry. The defeat of the Peoples
party will not probably take her UMPIRE
pared.
AS soon as the election is over, some
paper will break out with an objection to
any mushroom, unsubstantial boom strik-
ing its town.
Jake Stotler will not be elected to the
state Partnership next Tuesday-that's
where the delay is in not having that office
filled by popular vote.
Eugene Ware is the poet laureate of
Kansas, but the amenities of a republic
are such as do not exact an ode in honor
of Funston's victory.
Dan Anthony has also taken issue with
John Wanamaker on the lottery law, and
has retained the resubmission lawyer,
Lucien Baker, for council
The Atchison Champion says Ingalls,
votes will cost $50 for white mans and
so for a negro's. This is putting a ire
mendous valuation on Kansas.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY EX-
TENSION.

1t is of the utmost importance that the
bond proposition which will be before
our people on election day be carried.
The carrying of this proposition, means
the extension of the Salina branch of the
great Union Pacific railway to this city
and county. 1t gives a new outlet east
and west; it drains noble stretch of
territory, and it means a new territory
drained of its hogs and cattle for this
point. The upbuilding of the live stock
interests of this city simply means the
building of Wichita.
This line built to Wichita means the
shipping to this city via the Union Pa
cific railway of the hogs and cattle of
all that fine country between Halstead
and the city of Mcpherson and Of all that
territory which is adjacent to the c. 10y
branch of the Union Pacific, between
Colby and Salina. The same train serv-
ice now operating over that line from
Colby to Salina can easily run the addi-
tional sixty miles into Wichita. We
need the Union Pacific, and need it
badly.
A strong company Of local gentlemen,
principally in Halstead has been organ
lied to carry this line, and they are pre-
pared TO carry the line to completion.
Wichita never voted down fair rail-
way proposition.

Gladstone is right when he says that the
Mckinley bill will hurt this country more
than it will Experimentation Cham
pion.
Such a statement coming from the
other side is not surprising: they no
doubt look at it in that way; but it is an
unnatural view to take of it on this side.
The idea of legislation being designed to
hurt anybody sounds preposterous.
If it doesn't benefit the largest number.
at least in this country, it will have no
place on our statute books and should,
as it will if its effects shall SO prove. be
speedily wiped out and another substi-
tuted that will.

KEEP THE FACTS BEFORE THE PEo-
Pile
John J. Ingalls, the Friend OF Wichita.

Wichita wanted the United States dis
trict court, John j. Ingalls, aided us to
get it, whereby thousands of dollars are
annually distributed among our mer-
chants, shop keepers and hotel keepers
thus directly or indirectly benefiting all
our people. A vote for Douglass is a
vote for the friend of Wichita.
Wichita wanted United States court
house and postoffice. John j. Ingalls,
aided US to get it, whereby hundreds of
thousands of dollars were distributed
among our laboring men, mechanics and
business men, thus directly or indirectly
benefiting all our people. A vote for
Henley is vote for the friend of
Wichita.
Wichita wanted terms of the United
States Circuit Court established here.
John J. Ingalls, aided us to get it, where
by more thousands of dollars will be
annually distributed among our mer
chants, shop keepers and hotel keepers,
thus directly or indirectly benefiting all
our people. A vote for Phillips is vote
for the friend of Wichita.

This is a hard time for those whose
interest in politics is only casual. They
read the tariff reform and Democratic
papers, and they learn that the McKin-
ley bill puts prices almost out of reach.
The Republican papers tell them that
the Mckinley bill lowers prices to an
almost absurd level. The casual gen.
tleman really doesn't know where he
stands. He must believe one or the
other, and the assertions of both are con-
trary. He is perplexed and discouraged,
and for the sake of his mental equilib-
rum we recommend that he skip the
political matter and devote himself ex-
clusively to the religious notices and So
ciety items in this issue and let such sor-
did things as the tariff and its effects
on prices go; he will learn about these
practically when he goes to the store for
his fall goods. Selah.

The more it talks about the Mckinley
bill the more excited the Atchison Cham
pion becomes. 1t now declares that the
only way for consumers Of the common
necessaries of life to evade the increased
burden imposed by that measure Is to
die That would certainly accomplish it
as far as the individual is concerned, but
according to the Champions argument
the dead persons friends will not get rid
of the burden until the last sad rite, in
GLIDING the marble slab that marks the
grave, shall have been performed. A
doleful prospect, to be sure.

HALLOWELL'S WORK.

Col. Hallowelrs campaign practically
ended last night. Probably no man
since the days of Jim Lane ever made so
ardorous stumping tour as has Col.
Hallowell. The Seventh Kansas district
is the most popuIous congressional dis
trict in the United States and contains
thirty-six counties, which comprises
about one-third of the entire area of the
state. Besides the thirty-six county
seats, at every one of which he spoke,
there are within the district upwards of
hundred other towns of importance, at
nearly every one of which he spoke.
Notwithstanding his splendid physique
and magnificent voice he reaches home
almost worn out. Now and then he was
called on for only a single speech for
single day, but for the greater
portion of the three months time
he has been compelled to make
two and three talks each day.
Diversified as these talks have been it is
a wonderful fact that the first criticism
of either his language or of the positions
taken has yet to reach us. He has been
earnest and honest and with an admira-
bic platform and the old party of free
dom at his back the sailing was plain if
arduous. OF the result there seems no
longer any questionable district is for
him and his own home will give him
regular ovation on Tuesday. AS our
next representative in congress no one
has any misgivings. He will prove
equal to all of the demands of the pro-
gressive people of the Big Seventh.

A citizen of Fort Scott, in speaking OF
the congressional contest in that city
saws: without the least bit of ex-
aggeration it may be safely asserted that
there are not dozen business men in
this city who are intending to vote
against Mr.. Chapman" When it is re-
membered that Mr.. Chapman is the
Democratic nominee for congress against
Hon. B. w. Perkins such remarkable
loyalty to Mr.. Chapman can only be
accounted for upon the idea of their In
tense loyalty to their city, which is the
home of Chapman. This is practical
politics; it is business. And it contains a
suggestion that the citizens of Wichita
will do well to keep in mind when they
go to the polls next Tuesday to vote for
congressman.
