This year seems to be a singularly fatal
one, so far as financial interests are con-
cerned. All the South American repub-
lies, Cuba, Spain, Portugal and Italy are
in desperate straits according to all re-
ports, while great noise is being made
over supposed deficit in the treasury of
the United States, and England is COM
planning of a great depression in certain
lines of. commerce. 1t is gratifying to
note the marked contrast between the
condition of the countries mentioned,
nationally, and that of the private inter
ests of the citizens of this country as in
dictated by the weekly statement of bank
clearings. In this respect the United
States is long way in advance of any
and all the nations of the earth.

CONGRESSMAN PETERS

Congressman Samuel r. Peters, of the
big Seventh district of Kansas, was at
the union depot this morning, says the
Kansas City Star of yesterday, on his
way home 10 Newton from Washington
He expressed himself as being well sat
iStied with the nomination of Colonel J.
r. HallOwell as his successor, and he be-
lieved that the candidate would roll up
the usual old time Republican majority
Congressman Peters said that at no time
since he gave it out last fall did he en-
terrain the thought of running for con-
greSS again. His reasons were very
simple. He could save no money on the
salary of 5000 year, and he felt conf
dent that his successor could do no bet
ter. 1t is not the intention Of Congress
man Peters TO return to Washington
again this fall. Upon Tesuming his resi-
at Newton he expects 10 enter the prac-
uce of law for the money there Is in it.
Speaking on the subject of tariff re-
form, Congressman Peters said the west
would be greatly benefited By shaking
up and revision of the present tariff laws
Kansas was necessarily an agricultural
state and there was no advantage to be
had by a high tariff for the benefit Of east
ern manufacturers. There would. he
thought. be a revision of the tariff that
would distinctly mark it as Republican
measure. The benefit 10 Kansas farmers
would beinestimable and ne felt conf
dent that il would come

MAYBE AN IDLE SUSPICION.

The suspicion seems to be growing in
the west that the election bill now before
congress and which was announced to be
in the interest of fair elections, in the
south particularly, has deeper signifi-
canoe and is really meant to be applied
to the centers of population throughout
the country in the interest of the money
power. We should regret to know that
the suspicion had any foundation in fact,
but the absence of any apparent urgent
necessity at this late date in the south,
where affairs political are no worse now
than they have been for decade, affords
ground for some suspicion of the real
object of the measure, and this is not al
layed one whit by the circumstance that
the measure originated in and is cham
pioned mainly by men from the quarter
that would seem to give some color to
the suspicion. The EAGLE is not dis
posed to be unduly critical, but it is very
jealous of the best interests of its section
and people.

1t is the opinion of the GIobe-Demo-

as much damage to the Bourbons in
North Carolina as it is in South Carolina
or Georgia, and more than it is in Ten

hardly worth living since the Alliance
started inZbusiness." If that is true the
Alliance should be regarded as God

couraged in that quarter.

ploded in Strands hardware store at Blair.
His wife and children, it Ii ALLEGED, then
undertook to get rid of him, and circulated
stories that he had threatened 10 do dam

Olsen from his house and strung llm up

The election troubles in Biddeford grew
out Of the unlawful naturalization of five
