The communication else where hea 'eC
"Swing and immortality" is not given
space because the EAGLE is seeking OF
desiring theological discussion. In
truth this item is to say that the thing
will not be permitted. There could be
no profit in such discussion in a secular
paper; besides, it would not please one
reader in hundred The author of the
article is woman, who, even if she was
not entitled to the last word, we would
not know how to go about it to refuse
her the privilege of answering the arti-
Gle which we had previously admitted
and against which she desired to protest.

An Improved Needle.

From the New York sun.
The improved sewing needle, recently
introduced, secured the end of the thread
in the eye instead of having a running
thread, as in the case of ordinary needles.
The eye of the needle is round or oval at
the bottom, tapering away chisel shape
at the top or head. in this way causing
sufficient elasticity at the top of the eve
to hold the thread perfectly rigid, and
there is done away all cutting of the
thread, which is necessary in the case of
ordinary needles where a running thread
is employed. The object Of this unique
invention is, of course. 10 allow the cot
ton thread 20 be easily passed through
the hole and pulled up toward the head.
so as 10 fix the thread in the chisel
shaped slit, thus preventing the thread
from slipping out.

Swing AND IMMORTALITY"

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The author of the article in yesterday s
EAGLE says the divine revelation affirms
that a regeneration of heart will produce
the spirit which will carry us across the
dividing ocean that Prof. Swing terms
death.
He very truly says that every atom has
a being. Then why make the assertion
that our first supposed parents com
mitted an unnatural crime. when every
living, creeping thing is procreated the
self-same way, the way in which nature
intended it to be? We are not degraded
below the brute creation, except we de-
grade ourselves with our own will. Why
any sane, intelligent man or woman can
make such an assertion | am
at loss TO know. God made @ them
male and female. Why did he: II he
did not intend that they should abide
with each other just as they do. All
animals are created the same.
The theory of a future punishment IS
already exploded among intelligent peo-
pie; then what was Christ crucIfied for!
Surely divine being could not have
created human family, His children,
al born of woman, and then find that
He had made mistake, and to aveuge
Himself, create an only begotten son o
and have him suffer an iSnominious
death, because those He had first created
had sinned. Such story reminds me OF
dear little boy but four years old
who IS in the habit of reading
stories from the newspapers wrong side
up Seating himself very graveiy III
his high chair one day, he asked the
family TO keep perfectly quiet assd he
would read them a story. This l. ..i.a.
he read: ''Once there was two nice little
girls ont q playing in the yard. They
had on nice. clean dresses, and their
mamma had fixed EN- up for the after

FEEDING THE INDIANS.

From the New York Telegram.
whenever there is an Indian disturb
ance or any trouble about the rations of
the Indians" said Robert J. Bennett, of
North Dakota, at the Coleman house,
''people take it for granted that Uncle
Sam feeds all the Indians. They are
badly mistaken. Rations are furnished
only to the Sioux, Comanches and Chey-
ennes, with small quantity to other
tribes to keep them from starving. The
census shows that there are some $50, 900
Indians and only about $4,000 of these
receive any ratlons.
''The contracts for supplying the In
dams foot up into some $50, 900, 900
with the biggest item, beef and
flour, running it very close
second. Indian Commissioner Morgan,
who has charge of the purchases, has
made himself great favorite with the
red men for his efforts to give them all
that is due them Mr. Morgan has intro
duced the plan of getting the best cattle
as they are needed, and not having them
dumped down at the agencies, where
they uan not secure proper food. Of
course they are bound to get feed, and
by the time the Indians get them the
shrinkage has been something terrible.
Mr.. Morgan is getting better cattle, too,
and trying to have the beef delivered to
the Indians near their homes, as they
viii not be compelled to travel such long
distances for their rations. Mr.. Morgan
deserves a great deal of credit for the
way in which he is managing the In
dians' finances"

term in the senate began March 4, and
he can draw his salary as senator from
that date as soon as such salary is due.
But the matter of double salary is not
the really bad feature of this double
holding with the pernicious advantages
in the way of political power for which
it Is held. Mr.. Hills purpose is to boss
the Democracy of New York. He is too
selfish to do his duty by giving up one
of the offices he holds, and his apparent
greed for illegitimate power is certainly
as reproachable as any conceivable greed
for the sa aries.

Governor Campbell, of Ohio, declares
himself, the substance of the declaration
being notice to the world, and Hamilton
county in particular, that he is the lord
high manipulation of the Democratic
party of the state. He serves notice on
the Hamilton county contingent of
malcontents, as he calls them, that they
are not the Democratic party of Ohio,
but they will not fail to let the governor
know that they are in it, nevertheless.
The Ohio situation is getting mighty in

The philosopher of the Atchison Globe

The philosopher OF the Atchison Globe
makes the railroad locomotive a counter
part of its inventor and maker, man. 1t
says: sit has life, and no two are of
the same nature. Some are active, and
will start with the engineers touch
Others are slow resembling very much a
lazy man. Occasionally one gets mad,
and refuses to run ON schedule time.
Some will do double the work of others.
There are weak oues, which constantly
break down. With occasional repairs,
the great iron horse will live as long as
the average man. Man made the loco
motive, breathed into its nostrils the
breath Of life, and it is like him." The
Globe might have carried the simile
further and added that the locomotive
like its maker, sometimes gets wild and
runs away, and also at times jumps the
track without apparent cause and
smashes up things wreckfully.

Eleven Hundred acres Of Wheat.


From tbs Sterling Balietla-
One Of the largest wheat raisers in
Central Kansas, Robert Stewart Of Al
den. was in town on Tuesday, and, on
being interrogated as 70 the c ndition Of
his crop. said that the eelvsn hundred
acres belonging 70 the Stewart family
were in excellent condition. An aver
age Of twenty bushels 10 the acre was
the estimate he placed upon the entire
crop. and claims that the poorest piece
would make fifteen bushels. He says
that since he has been IN Kansas, the
prospect was never 50 good. and wheat
never looked better between Sterling aud
Alden.
The Stewart family ara famous wheat
growers. and understand IL thoroughly.
To harvest their crop this year they wiil
employ thirty men. tAirty-flve horses

The Alliance papers are already begin
ming TO read out OF the party the fellows
they don't like. The Advocate bitterly
attacks c. Wood Davis, one Of the braiui-
est men OF the Alliance in this or any
other state, and says the order has no
use for him. Let the war so on.-Law-
renee Journal.
Somebody evidently Is jumping at a
conclusion. The simple circumstance
that Mr.. Davis has been writing upon
economic subjects of universal concern
is not sufficient reason for suspecting
that he Is in full utilization with the Al
lance. Being farmer himself he nat
urally sympathizes with the farmers in
their struggles against untoward cir
cumstance, bat this does not lead him
into fellowship with the political va
carries of that movement

The Democrats in many of the coun-
ties of the state had a great time last fall
hobnobbing and dividing UP the offices
with the Alliance. The trades in this
county were open and VIGOROUSLY dis
graceful There were neither principle.
conscience or decency in it. only a mat
ter of Office. Now the Alliances in about
eight counties in ten of the state have
swallowed the Democratic party leaving
it without an organization, and great is
the howl of the leaders. Good enough.
The fight this fall will be between the
Republican party and the mongrel party.
There will be no Democracy in it.

II. Victor Newcomb, mentioned in
yesterdays dispatches as the demented
Spectator on Wall street, New York,
was at one time president of the Louis

for awhile was regarded as the brightest

country. His aggressiveness, however,
came near wrecking the L. & N, and he
was quietly let out. His mental trouble
is undoubtedly hereditary.

1t seems odd, according to our way Of

urally be for such a measure.

The atmosphere of Oklahoma is death
to crankisms, 1t is notable that the men
who came here from Kansas, many of
the narrow and measly in views of pub
lie questions, have become liberal, broad
minded men who concede every man the
right to think his own way and act as he
pleases SO long as he is decent and law
abiding. The Kansas men have learned
through bitter experience that it takes
all kinds Of people to build cities. You
cannot build a city all churches or all
saloons. The laws and customs of
town, if it expects to build upon the
commercial blood of the land, must meet
the diversified characters of men. The
laws and public officials of Oklahoma
are not made especially to purify the
character of citizens. The law has no
design to usurp personal rights or in
fringe on the mission of the church. The
people of Oklahoma are of a character
which has made them admired by the
world at large. Churches are respected
and literally patronized and personal
morality and business integrity are en-
couraged and more universally prac-
ticed than in any new country which
has had a place in American history

Later returns by men who have visited

their verdict is that nearly a full crop

is favorable. In some places the wheat
is badly injured, but it is only so in spots
here and there. Kansas will come To
