PETER AND JERRY

The papers that are claiming so much
for the mongrel outfit sent to congress
last fall will stand better chance of
escaping the disagreeable job of taking
it all back by waiting year. PETER
and Jerry and the others are doing an
unlimited amount of blowing, but so far
as anybody knows they never did any
thing else all their lives. Blow don't
count for much when it comes to enact
! ing sentiments and convictions into
legal measures. If either Jerry or PETER
entertain single idea it will have to
pass under the scrutiny of about four
hundred men representing the con-
victions, experience and political desires
of about sixty millions of people whose
multifarious interests are vital as numer-
Gus. Wild-eyed theories evolved from
the transiently depressed interests Of
single class are not going to engage the
attention nor preturb men who have
devoted more than ordinarily active
minds for years to such vital
questions as constitute fundamental
principles, and which involve statesman
ship. No one is going to deny their right
to embody their views in bill or bills,
but unless the proposed measures are
such as address themselves to the united
wisdom Of congress, they will not only
not receive any consideration but the
men who introduce them will drop out of
sight and out of all esteem. Chimerical
schemes may go in a class convention
with great aplomb. but as for serious
consideration by congress they might
better be rolled up into paper wads and
fired at the goddess of liberty that sur
mounts the dome of the capital. Jerry
and PETER might both do well by spout
ing less and thinking more, as Kansas
has no particular desire to be made the
laughing stock of the country. She got
enough of that, and at an unestimated
cost, last winter.

The Mckinley bill has put the Cana
dians in a sad plight. They have hereto
fore been sending about $50. 00O, 600 worth a
Year of their products to our market-K
Z. Gazette.
Quite true, and if that were the only
effect that measure has had or is likely
to have upon the business and industrial
Interests of the country, it might be re-
garded here with complacency if not
qualification; but when it is known that
the Mckinley bill is already having the
effect of reducing the revenues of the
government from import duties without
compensating benefits to our own peo-
pie, it becomes a serious question, and it
Is likely TO grow more serious from
this on.

j. S. Clarkson, president of the Repub-
lican National League, says: 1.-The next
Republican candidate for president must
be from the farm; no gold bug will be in
it, and that protection and swelling the
volume of currency will win" This
prompts the Topeka Democrat to offer
this bit of almonition to its party: 1.-THE
Democrats who imagine that the next
presidential election will be walk-a-
way had better begin to get down to
business and cogitate. The next presi-
Dental election will be the most bitter
and exciting ever fought. If they wander
off after false gods, and gold bugs, they
are gone forever" And yet, in the face
Of these asseverations the Democrat
sticks to Hill for its party nominee with
a blind infatuation. Go it, Choliy.

The Alliance decided that it would aid
in the Kansas worlds fair business on con-
dition that there should be no politics IN it.
The Alliance must have changed its mind
since last winter. Then it defeated the
appropriation because it could not make it
not only a political matter but because
the Alliance itself couldn't handle it
Lawrence Journal.
And the present scheme to raise the
desired 100000 for the purpose men
toned is in the same line, and the pro-
moters of it will have the assurance to
ask the next legislature to reimburse the
counties in the amounts they contribute,
If the scheme works; but our guess is
that it will not work, for two reasons if
no more: first, because there is no
authority of law for raising money in
that way for any such purpose, and
second, because the people will not be
nearly enough unanimous in endorsing
it to make it go.

A THOUGHT FOR THE CHURCHES.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Does not our religion need reforlna-
ton? Would it not be profitable for the
religious denominations to appoint a
conference and adjust their differences?
There may be enough difference in the
different creeds to send them all to hell.
There certainly is but one true religion,
and all the others must be wrong.
Christianity would prosper better with
out sectarianism, which engenders strife,
jealousy and rivalry, which is not
ChriSt-like, not Christian. There is no
religion in fine clothes, fine churches
and fine sermons if the heart is not
right. How can the heart be right
which excludes us from the majority of
our fellow-citizens? If Christ would
come on earth today would He approve
of our selfishness? II. E. BIDWELL.

had expressly so stated N the 24th Kan

He commented at length upon the
charge of misconduct in using
the official powers of the court
to take upwards of $1,000 out of the
treasury of Springfield and give it te
one or two favored attorneys and leav-
ing the treasury bankrupt; and he main
tanned that this as well as the various
other charges constituted plain and IN
mistakable allegations of official miscon-
duct, and as such were clearly impeach-
able.

high privilege and solemn duty OF this
court in passing upon the questions
raised in this case to practically deter
mine the standard of Judicial behavior,

in the vanguard of civilization, to be

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR
THE WEST.
ne Chicago Dry Goods Reporter.

From the Chicago Dry Goods Reporter.
On all hands, however, reports reach
us that the west is in excellent cOndi-
ton. With the east it is different They
are paying the farmers of the west two
to three times as much money now for
the food which they eat than they did a
year ago. The east then paid the west
1870, 900 for 100000 bushels of corn.
They now pay S75O,000. or more, for the
same. At that time the east paid the
west S650,000 for 100000 bushels of
wheat, and it now pays, say 81, 100, 900
for the same. 1t is the same all through
the list of farm products. But we are
paying the east rather less, if any odds,
for the manufactured products which we
use than we did at that time Cotton
goods are lower, probably from 8 to 5
per cent, than at that time; silk goods
are no higher: and woolens are pract;-
cally unchanged. The result is that the
west is prosperous, and the east is less
so. This, however, is a matter that con-
Germs the eastern jobber only, and we
merely speak of it as showing the condi.
ton of things.

The trainers of Kentucky's new con-
stitution incorporated at least one proper
and timely provision in that instrument,
i. e., that no armed force shall be brought
into the state except upon application
by the general assembly. II is meant to
prevent the employment Of detectives
and police forces of the Pinkerton sort
by corporations or Others employing
large numbers of laborers in case of
complications arising between employers
and employees. The presence of such
imported force naturally embitters and
aggravates those who are meant TO be
coerced and often provokes lawlessness
where none would otherwise occur. We
have had some slight experience Of this
sort in Kansas.

The Natioaal Tribune says that a war
between the United States and Italy
would be the biggest the world has ever
seen. Developments make it clear that
it would at once bring in Russia and
France as our allies-not because of
friendship for us, but for their own rea-
sons-with Germany and Austro-Hun-
gary on the side of Italy. This implies
that ucha war originating between the
countries first named, would be fought
mainly on the European continent,
which is probably true. But it will not
originate thus.

is true, see in Talmage the striking quail
ties of the great architect of the spec.
tacular. But Talmage could not take
charge of Barnum's line of exhibits and
make a success of it. He lacks the touch
with the social life and breadth of soul.
Yet, in his somewhat different phase of
extravaganza Talmage Is quite as mu h
of genius as Barnum Some of his ad-
mirers, indeed, term him 4 theological
Barnum. He can certainly entertain
and enliven the populace with vastly less
IN the investment. His mixture of colors
and etfervescence in oratory are wonder
fully permeated with the religious foam,
as 1t were. He induces emotional flows
quite as voluminous and even more
pellucid than those Of the other and de-
parted great genius Of illusion.

There seems to be no limit to the uses to
which paper may be put. People who
hooted at the idea of buckets and tubs
and other vessels for holding liquids
being made of paper, and who vowed
that they would never trust their per-
sonal safety travelling in car with pa
per wheels, viii be less skeptical of the
statement that horse shoes Of a superior
quality are now made from paper. The
process of manufacture Is to soak the pa
per in turpentine, place in casting
mould and subject it to hydraulic pres
sure. The shoe is said to wear well, and
does not become slick like metal, which
quality adapts it especially to paved
streets and macadamized roads.

1t Is hardly fair for the Wichita EAGLE

called failure. And even If he finally
proves to be failure, what of it, Are
senatorial failures so rare in Kansas as To
excite surprise?-Champion
Poor old Petf., it's probably hardly fair
in the EAGLE TO refer to him at all as a

since its birth has boosted only progress
sion. But in the absence of a backse,
such as PETER and his crowd, the state
motto would be left without meaning
or significance. However. Kansas will

FRIENDSHIP WITH MEXICO.

Whether by design and previous ar
rangement or not, the arrival Of Presi-
dent Harrison at Ell Paso, Texas, was on
the anniversary Of the declaration of
independence by the Republic of Texas
| from Mexican domination and control.
but the old antagonism growing out of
that incident and which later culmin-
ated in the war between Mexico and the
United States has been so thoroughly laid
aside that Mexican troops were privileged
to cross to this side of the river and assist
in saluting the president, their govern
ment having solicited permission. The
Galveston News takes the occasion as a
text for the following pertinent observa-
ton:
Surely here is evidence that the re-
clprocity policy should be extended to
Mexico. And indeed it is to be inferred
that the Spanish agreement, if consum-
mated on the lines intimated in recent
dispatches, will remove one of the great
est obstacles to Mexican reciprocity.
When the sugar of Cuba is admitted
duty free it will not be worth while for
American planters to object to sugar
coming from Mexico whenever it suits
capitalists to develop sugar lands in that
country. In many other respects Next
can reciprocity should find more friends
than the same sort of project toward
perhaps any other country that can be
named "

KANSAS NEXT BOOM.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
l rode yesterday across the southeast
quarter of the state of Kansas, under the
azure blue, of a cloudless sky, in the
golden, life-giving, Kansas sunshine, en-
joyinging the quiet beauty of the broad
prairie landscapes. The scenes and OBJ
servations of day thus spent inspires
one with the utmost confidence in this
states future prosperity, A confidence
founded on facts is contagious AS the
evil effects of speculative boom, many
people have suffered more from disap-
pointment and apprehension than from
actual deprivation or a necessarially
hopeless prospect.
Annihilation is, anywhere and always,
an impossibility. Under the operations
of the universal law of the
correlation and conservation Of
forces, nothing is ever altogether
lost. That which disappears in one place
reappears elsewhere, and he who has
lost might be encouraged TO believe that
under the operation of this principle that
which he has lost may return to him
again, as the legitimate reward of an
honest effort. The aggregation of events
make conditions. During the past few
years of business depression there has
been gathering of strength. and a hus-
banding of forces and resources. which
viii soon find expression and activity in
returning prosperity. apprehend that
one danger now before the people in Kan
sas Is the evils which may result from
another boom. from which evils that
wisdom which comes by experience
should save them. The boom Is coming
naturally snd legitimately. y.
