THE soUrHERN KANSAS FAIR.
The Exhibits in Character and Number
Surprising An Expectation,

The first exposition day at the grounds
of the Southern Kansas Fair association
in character and number of exhibits
prove complete surprise to the most
sanguine. From now on until Saturday
evening it will be, in all respects, the
greatest show of the kind ever seen in
the state. Like the work of enchant-
ment the stalls and pens and halls and
booths filed up yesterday morning and
there will be no fun or interest to be
found outside of those gates for the days
to come. The thousand and one attrac-
tions will be on this morning in earnest
while the flyers will race the afternoon
away. Strangers and neighbors were
focking in by last evenings trains and
will undoubtedly continne to do SO until
the judges bell taps off the last heat on
evening"

TRADE WITH BRAZIL.

The project of steamship line to Rio
has reached a stage where it deserves all
the consideration that can be given it.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat de-
clares that the chances of success were
never greater than they are now. "We
start, for instance, with a proposed aid
from the government through the postal
subsidy bill of some $160,0OO year-to
be increased later on-assistance that
we could never have looked for before.
We have the testimony of the expert of
the Illinois Central railroad, who went
down there to examine the country, that
New Orleans could, with the proper eff
forts, secure large part of the trade, and
that a line from here to Rio Janeiro
could be made profitable. We are
promised the aid and cooperation of the
railroads to make the project success,
and we know how much they can assist
US; and we have Chicago vitality interest
ed and anxious to help New Orleans to
extend its business into South America.
With the government the rail
roads, Chicago and the great
west aiding us and all of them
willing to put their money in this enter
prise, it is needless to point out that there
has never been such an opportunity be-
FORE And we should further remember
that Brazil itself is favorably disposed;
that the late Pan-American congress
established friendly relations between
the two republics, which have been fol-
lowed by a reciprocity treaty, giving the
United States unusual facilities for ex-
tending its trade in Brazil if it has the
vessels running to that country"
With this new line of communication
fully established and Wichita and the
southwest directly connected with the
Crescent City by the Missouri Pacific ex-
tension, we will become interested in the
enterprise second to no other point and
section, both in the matter of exporting
our surplus products and importing d.
rect such foreign goods as we require,
but which now find egress and ingress by
roundabout ways.

MEDICINE LODGE SUGAR.
From the Cressett.

From the Cressett,
1t is wonderful, wonderful, how the
government sorghum sugar farm is turn
ing out. On this government farm there
can be no mistake, as the ground is ac-
curately measured and everything Is
carefully weighed and scientifically test
ed. AS has been noted in these columns,
the government plat was plowed 20
inches deep, the seed carefully planted,
and the cane kept clean by watchful
cultivation. As a result we will take
patch of ''Folger's Early" sorghum cane,
a patch of which has been carefully
tested. This variety gives 1905 gross
tons to the acre, 26 tons of topped cane
and % tons of cleaned cane-lOsing four
tons each of seed and leaves, but at the
same time this cannot be called a loss, as
both seed and leaves are valuable.
Then the cane showed an average of
1915 per cent. sucrose. AT the rate per
ton paid by the Medicine Lodge Sugar
Works and Refining company, the gov
ernment could get an average of $50 per
acre for the product of her farm. This
result makes Drs. Wiley and Spencer,
who are in charge of the experiment
station, feel good; it makes Messrs.
Miller & Benedict, on whose farm the
government tract is situated, feel good;
and to say that Eli Benedict, who had
charge of the blowing, seeding and cul-
tivating, feels proud. is putting it mild.
In addition to that, all our citizens are
proud and gratified, and see i'll these fig
ures bow of promise for western and
southern Kansas.

PETER has but one speech. He has
been making it for year and a half
everywhere. 1t is simply a prolonged
wall made up in about equal proportions
of groans and distorted figures. All
history fails to show any people so des-
titute and burthened as those of the
state which he out of compassion re-
luctantly consented to represent in the
United States senate for five thousand
per year and perquisites. But if he at
tempts that speech in the United States
senate Plumb will flatten him out still
thinner than he is.

Russia and the Jews.

Speaking of the oppression of the Jews
in Russia Mr. Depew, just returned,
saws: "On the religious side they are un-
der the power Of the strongest man in
Russia, the cars tutor and the power
behind the throne He Is fanatic and
a bigot. HIS plan Is to isolate the Jews
and drive the Catholics and Protestants
into the Greek church. The car IS the
Greek pope and the head of the church
The Greek church makes great deal Of
the crucifixion, and for that reason the
car and his religious advisers ara
specially sensitive over the crucifixion OF
Christ 1t is sort of sentiment that the
presence Of the Jews Is a repetition OF
the crime" Ar. Depew adds that Amer
lean protests about Russiss Semitic
policy have produced not a salutary
effect but GOODNESS which Russia has
not felt towards Us since the civil war.

WICHITA, MEMPHIS AND NEW
ORLEANS.

If Mr. Gould carries out his design Of
putting in link connecting the Missouri
Pacific system with the gulf roads con-
trolled by him, Kansas City will cease
to dominate the grain traffic of Kansas
in the interest of the Chicago gamblers.
We have no doubt Mr.. Gould will do as
the dispatches indicate, for he told the
writer of this three years ago, that that
was what he was aiming for, and that as
soon as 1t was accomplished he would
put in a link from Wichita to Belle
Plaine-twenty-one miles-which would
not only give Wichita direct outlet to
Memphis and the gulf, but give the Mis-
souri, Pacific system almost an air line
from its Colorado points to the lower
Mississippi, to Mobile and to New Or
leans, by way of Wichita, Coffeyville,
Fort Smith and Little Rock. When these
links are completed Wichita will be one
of the best grain markets of the west.

The secretary of the Mexican treasur,

The secretary of the Mexican treasury
has given a concession to w. II. Hills
and Henry G. Ferguson, negroes of
Texas, for the establishment of agricul-
tural colonies and manufacturing enter
prises in the states of Vera Cruz. Oaxaca,
Michoacan, Guerrero and San Luis
Potosi Another scheme probably to in
veigIe number of unwary blacks from
the south into foreign country for
speculative purposes. The lot of the
average southern negro is hard one, to
be sure; but hard as it is, it is happy
and lucky one in comparison with the
average Mexican laborer, with whom
the negro must compete if he goes into
that country. Unless a sufficient num-
Der should go to constitute and organize
self-sustaining colony in some adyan-
tageous locality, they will be infinitely
better off where they are than they
would be in Mexico, or any other for
eign land as for that.

A CRITICISM.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
A listener at the meeting of the Wich-
ita Literary League, in Peerless hall.
Friday euening, wishes to observe that
the arguments Of the four defendants on
the question: Resolved, that the gov
ernment should own and control the
railroads" was all for the affirmative.
The speakers for the negative either did
not know which side they were really
arguing for. or else willfully misled the
audience. They persisted in holding up
the view that the affirmative wanted the
power Of controlling the railroads taken
out of the hands Of the people; whereas.
as anyone knows, the government in
this country is supposed, at least, TO be
the people, and since the railroad power

The balance of trade in favor Of this
country for the year ended August 31st,
last, as shown by the aggregate of values
of imports and exports, was S75, ,225, 145.
This includes the large imports of sugar
that has come in free of duty since the
new tariff law went into effect, and is a
magnificent showing. After retaining
the home market, which is the best, for
our trades people they have still been
able to find outside markets for an i'm

THE PRINCE OF Wales DEBTS.

"The exact financial position Of the
prince of Wales" says Labouchere, ed
itor of the London Truth, in an article
on English Royalty" which he con-
tributes to the October Forum, sis not
known. There have been rumors that
he is greatly in debt, but question their
correctness. When the prince came Of
age, he became possessed of the accumu-
lations realized during his minority from
the duchy of Cornwall. A portion of
them was expended in the purchase of
the SandringhaIn estate, and the re-
mainder became his. With this nest
egg, with an income Of clio, 900 per an
mum, one of 100000 for his wife, sepa-
rate provision for his children, and with
Marlborough House kept up for him at
the public cost, there seems no reason
why his expenditure should outrun his
means. His hospitalities are no greater
than those of the French president, who,
with less than half his income, does not
get into debt"

it is true. John ]. Ingalls,
is a recent example of the kind. and the
writer remembers reading that some
thing over hundred years ago, George
III had considerable individuality in
this country. The people grew weary of
it, however, and invited him to confne
his authority to his dominions across the
seas. What was the result? Before
this invitation was accepted, the people
had sufficient individuality to draft our
document at which the world has looked
in amazement ever since. A few years
later when his majority had accepted
the polite request, they still had enough
Of this peculiar quality to frame
our constitution, and these same
people into whose hands the
kings power was given have
proved the practicability of self-govern-
ment from then till now. All grave
questions are safe in the hands of the
American people, and they who regard
a kingdom as being so much better tEan
a free government mad better go Where
king is loved more than he is In Amer
lea.
The negative affirmed that the govern
ment now controlled the railroads in the
sense that it compelled them to carry its
mails. Absurd statement! Every SEN
sible person knows that the government
pays the railroad companies to carry its
mails, the companies accepting the con-
tract for satisfactory remuneration;
then if it fails to do its work it becomes
liable for damages just as an individual
or business firm would under violation
of contract. This control of the rail-
roads by the government, then, becomes
simply an obligation under contract.
There is no sound argument in favor
of few individuals Ia this country con-
trolling interests greater than that of the
American congress, when this is sup
posed to be government of the people.

Russia seems determined to secure a
naval status on the neutral and disputed
waters touched by her territory and 9TH
er's connected. Unless prompt and de-
termined measures are adopted by the
other powers to prevent it, it will be but
short time until the Russian flag will
float at will over the navigable waters of
the continent, and if the powers under
take to prevent such consummation it
will precipitate conflict that will in
volve the continent. War rumors are
common over there, but there is a gen.
eral impression that Europe will not be
able much longer to evade stupendous
continental war.

The criticism on the selection of names
for the new towns in Oklahoma is badly
taken, in the case of Tecumseh at least.
1t is name which stands as monu-
ment to the last remnant of the Shawnee
Indians and perpetuates the name of
their greatest chief and probably the
most patriotic native American in his
tory. His confederation of the Indian
tribes of this country is the brightest
spot in the history of Indian intelligence.
1t is another matter of note that the fail
ure of Tecumseh's union was due to
William H. Harrison, the grandfather of
the president who today gives the last
order towards the final disruption of
tribal interests.

NEW YoRKs POLITICAL SITUATION.

The Democrats have been making big
boasts of the marvels of success that
party will achieve in New York state
this fall by reason of the unanimity of
the party in the Saratoga convention.
Here is the estimate put upon the out
look there by Senator Carlisle, clear
headed man and shrewd politician, as
given in an interview day or two ago;
"The Saratoga convention seems to
have been made up Of such discordant
elements as not to sugur well for Demo
cratic harmony in this state. If what /
am told is correct, not only were Cieve-
land and his friends treated pretty
roughly, but Governor Hill did not have
as much to say as he perhaps might
wish. On the other hand. TaI7many
hall seems 10 have done pretty much as
il pleased. In view of the fact that the
presidential election comes on for next
year such q state Of feeling is unfortu-

mated for the presidency Unless the

American exports to Venezuela now
exceed those from any other country.
They aggregated $10.00O,0 900 during the
last fiscal year of the republic. The
gain is at the cost of Great Britain, and
in Venezuela 1T is considered to be partly
due to the boundary dispute between
Great Britain and partly to difficulties
which have arisen with British railroad
and harbor enterprises, but mainly to
feelings of sympathy between the two
republics, to the facilities of communica-
ton with the United States, and to the
popularity of our goods and methods of
trade. Similar conditions exist in other
of the Central and South American re-
publics, which ought to give the United
States monopoly of the commerce, in
and out, with those countries, and will

shall have become fully established and

With the completion of the proposed
connecting link between Fort Smith,
Ark, and the Cotton Belt line in North
east Texas, the Missouri Pacific system
will have an almost direct line from
Wichita to New Orleans. a consumma-
ton long held in the plans of the man
agement of the Missouri Pacific. AS
stated in yesterdays dispatches, the
opening of this route would divert very
large proportion of the grain and other
products of the west, intended for ex-
port, from the Northern route, via Chi
cago and the lakes, over the new route
to tidewater at New Orleans. 1t is an
important undertaking to the west, and
it is only question of time when it will
be an accomplished fact.
