THE CHEROKEE OUTLET.

Congressman Mansur has taken the
right hitch on the Cherokee Outlet ques-
tion. The way 10 open it is to open it.
As for details and any supposed claims
of the Cherokees, they are matters which
can he equitably arranged at the leisure
of the government hereafter. The Chero-
KEGS have been pulling back and de-
manding more time. Let them have all
the time they desire, but first open the
strip TO settlement. The settlers can't
run away with 1t. The Cherokees can't
occupy it. The cattle barons are gone
Therefore open il mp. If the Cherokeos
have any real claim or treaty, or other
Fights that are of a money value, there
will be money enough in the United
States treasury to make them whole.
Mansur saws he is backed by the admin
.stration in his proposition. We sincerely
hope so. but we would feel more con-
WINGED had an assertion been made by
some gentleman more closely identified
with the powers that be.

EAGLE EXTRACTS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The three following extracts published
at different times, when taken together
rights the matter:
A bill has been introduced in the United
States senate by Mr.. Stanford, of CalifOr-
MIA, authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to issue 100000, coo in greenbacks and
loan it to the owners of unencumbered
real estate at the rate Of per cent per
annum. The question is what occasion
have the owners of unencumbered farms to
borrow money 1t is other fellows that
need it.-Wichita EAGLE.
1t is always manly, courageous, to admit
a Observation-Disclosures EAGLE.
Section u. That if upon the land de-
scribed in the application there is an exist
ing lien or incumbrance to secure the pay
ment of money presently due and payable,
and in an amount less than the loan
sought and granted, then the land shall be
deemed unencumbered but instead Of
paying the amount loaned to the appli-
cant, it shall be the duty of the disbursing
officer, out of the sum loaned, to pay of
the amount due. and to cause to be dis
charged the lien or incumbrance, charging
the amout of such payment to the april
cant in like manner as if it had been paid
on his check or draft.-Stanford's bill.

entitled to the lasting remembrance oil
every man, woman and child of the state,
for the interest he has taken, and for
his persistence in securing from the gov

sugar experiments of the past few years,

published in the Gazette is as follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE.
WASHINGTON, ID. D., Dec. 81, 1890.
B. Rockwell. Esq. Junction City, Kansas:
My DEAR SIR: A new discovery has
been made in the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum which is of great value.
Heretofore il has been found impossible
to granuIate much more than half the
sacharine which was extracted, CHEEKY by
reason of the fact that it contained re-
factory gummy substances. Professor
Wiley has, he thinks, discovered how TO
eliminate these gummy substances by the
use of alcohol; and then he has further
discovered that these substances can IN
turn be transmitted into alcohol-so that
given the first charge of alcohol and
nothing further of that material is neces-
sarv. OF course there will be some ex-
pense in making it from the gum. but
very little If this works out as well on
a large scale as it has in the laboratory,
and think it will, it viii be practicable
to make from fifty to seventy pounds
more of sugar to a ton of cane than ever
heretofore, and / renew the suggestion
which | made TO you last fall, believe,
that You should go down to Medicine
Lodge and see what they have done
there You will find Messrs. Eldren and
Human, who are in charge, thoroughly
posted and reliable men. They have APP
piled to the management of their factory
business principles, and with results
which are entirely. satisfactory. and
which of course will be great deal more
so hereafter if Professor Wileys discov-
cry proves to be practical. If it is what
it now seems to be, a great success, sugar
can be made in Kansas for not to exceed
three cents per pound, and | think 1t
might even be made for two and half
cents, and still pay the farmer more for
his cane than he can get for any other
crop. Truly yours, P. B. PLUME.

THAT SPEECH.

The great speech delivered by Senator
Ingalls, day before yesterday was pre-
pared for delivery on Tuesday the 10th
of June last, but something occurred in
the proceedings of that body that day
whereby the opportunity for its deliv-
cry was lost. We know of one individ-
ual who urged him at that time to make
an opportunity for the sake of the party
in Kansas and in the country at large.
He replied, substantially, that he had
gone on record for free coinage of silver
as far back as 'S3 and that his personal
views were therefore known, but to force
a speech at that time might be viewed
as a piece of demagogy, while it
might not add to the weight of the argu-
ments already made. 1t was therefore
no death bed repentance affair as sug-
gested by "our Jerry"

EFFICACY OF REPEAL.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
1t is dawning upon the minds Of the
people that the evil results of bad laws
will not be remedied so much by the en-
actment of other laws as by the repeal
of those unwise laws.
Instead of attempting to restore our
merchant marine by granting subsidies
to ships, repeal our Anticipated naviga-
ton laws-that is all that honest ship
owners demand. In place of more cur
rency, repeal our iobbing tariff laws and
leave the money in the hands of the
people who earn it. Instead of the
forced reduction of railroad rates.
squeeze the water out of the stock and
allow the roads TO earn fair interest
on the genuine, actual invest
ments Instead of government
loans TO farmers. stop taxing them for
the benefit of others. Stop wasting the
peoples money in unneedsd public build
ings. in internal improvements which
improve nothing except 1t be the bank
account of the contractor and his coterie
of friends.l in lavish uncalled for pen
sions, in Star route swindles, in bonds
issued TO corporations without adequate
returns. in salaries paid a horde Of super
fluous officers, and excessive salaries
paid to others. Let there be a Judicious
economy exercised In all public affairs.
Let the efforts of the people be sustained
by public justice; and. If understand
the true character. genius, enterprise
and skill OF the American citizen, his
wares and commoditi-s VIII soon he
found in all the markets of the world
successfully competing with other cOun-
ties. and prosperity viii prevail, and this
prosperity will be shared by each iRdi-
yidual citizen in proportion to bis skill,
industry and integrity Of character.
