AGAINST A STATE CHURCH.

To the Editor of the Eagle. -
A few days ago | read in the EAGLE &
very pleasing article set to verse, emit
tied eve Are Growing Better" and nc
doubt the writer was expressing his oil
her condition individually and, perhaps
as far as Wichita is concerned, collect,
lively; but we as nation have lately
heen getting worse, in allowing our
money to be devoted to the Catholic In
dian Mission schools in the northwest,
and by the act committed an error the
like of which has never Def ore been done
in America. 1t was disgrace to every
loyal American and a dishonor to any
true Catholic in the world. 1t virtually
knocks out the keystone in the trium-
plant arch of American freedom, liberty
and independence, and puts chain
about our neckS that binds US to the
pope.
No man in America can now say he is
free; the boosted freedom of America is
no more. We are slaves, base, ignoble
slaves, and must pay tribute to Rome.
Part OF our national resources are APP
piled to support a sectarian school under
a sectarian church, with headquarters in
Italy. | have been expecting the presi-
dent would denounce the act and dis
miss the official that committed it, but l
nave waited in vain. The temporal
power of the church at Rome is placed
ON the head Of our nation and we must
accept of the disgrace unless
we protest against it, In the
name of God and humanity
we do solemnly and emphatically
protest against the unlawful act. We
are freemen, and have earned our right
to be free, physically, intellectually and
religiously free.
| am personally well acquainted with
Bishop Ireland who has charge of that
diocese. and do not believe the idea ever
originated with him: it does not partake
of the liberality of his views, but must
have had its origin at Rome. There is
nothing American about it. The pine
nomenal growth of the Catholic
church in America is due to
the liberality of Americanisrn
and not to the power invested in ponti-
fetal robes, backed by powerful army
and navy. Our strength is by the grace
of God. The Gospel of Christ is a free
religion; as free and pure as the air we
breathe. When you sectarionize it you
stitie it; when you contine it you des-
troy its usefulness.
Take heed of the Episcopal church in
England. Its usefulness for God de-
parted when it became attached to the
British throne. Better far burn your
sectarian creed and sprinkle the ashes
with the dew of heaven and leave the
church holy and pure-one church, one
Christ and one God; Father, Son and
Holy Ghost-one IN all and all in one.

ABOUT CoRNERING WHEAT.

other one question. And the unanimity

dorsed, without regard to political bias

from any quarter is very rare thing.
Endorsing this proposition, however,

EVERYBODY BENEFITED.

Inc wheat crop of Kansas, now abso-
luteiy safe, is not only a great thing for
the producers, enabling them as it will
TO free themselves from debt in larger
measure than any crop i'll years, and to
provide themselves with many needed
articles in their business and comforts
for their families, but it is also a great
thing for certain classes of manufacture
ers, particularly Of agricultural nipple
ments and machinery. The supplies of
goods of this class have not been so nearly
exhausted as they are at this time. A
case in point: One dealer. the agent in
this city of one of the leading makes of
harvesterS and mowers, sold this season
more than 125 of these machines and
could have sold good many more if the
manufacturer could have furnished
them. And it is fair TO presume that
this has been the case with other agents
and dealers and machines. The effect
Of this will be TO start up the manufac-
tories earlier than usual for the next
seasons operations and cause them to
give employment 70 larger numbers of
mechanics. II is like dropping a stone
IN the middle of a body of water. the
effects of which are felt through the
waves that are sent to the utmost limits
of the body.

About 500, 000,0 900 surplus cash, after

realize from their farm products this
season.-Atchison Champion.
That is clearly the logic of the situa-
ton, and the only contingency that can
prevent it from working out practically
is the volume of money in actual circu-
lation. If that were sufficient for the
requirements of the country's commerce
and general business, there is no sort of
doubt Of the Champions statement. We
trust it will so work out

The glut in the lemon market is some
thing of pulverizer to those specula-
tors who have been in the habit of stor-
ing away immense quantities in winter
to wait the rise in the summer months.
1t has been brought on by immense i'm
portations. One hundred and fifty thou
sand boxes were sold last year at a loss
of $500, 900 to the growers. There are
now in New Orleans three steamers with
$4,000 boxes aboard and no sale for any
of them.

Kingfsher, Oklahoma, has done the
gallant thing by offering train load of
grain to the drouth stricken people of
Ohio. The sight of a pioneer country of
two years turning the cornucopia upside
down over the head of a state as old and

price of farce comedy and laughing gas.

A Common BeneHt

FROM The Kansas City Gazette
The Kansas farmers are organizing for
higher prices. This is To the benefit Of
all of Is. We have always maintained
that when our farmers became forehand-
ed enough TO have large barns, in which
they could store crops, they would then
be independent, selling only when the
prices were satisfactory.

The Russian ukase forbidding the ex-
portation of rye on account Of the general
crop shortage in that country is causing
considerable uneasiness in Germany Ger
tain portions of which country are also
short on bread crops and have been re-
lying upon Russia for needed supplies.
Rye is consumed largely for bread
among the poorer people of those coun-
try, not that it is better or more whole
some, but because it is cheaper than
wheat or other bread cereals that are
produced there. There is, however, no
occasion for serious alarm. If our wheat
surplus should run short or the price go
out of the reach of the consumers over
there, we will have an abundance of
corn which they can get as cheap or
cheaper than rye, and they would soon
learn to like it quite as well.
