There is a scheme on foot to transfer
the Atlantic ports of entry, as far as the
interests of the west northwest are CON
cerned, TO the center of the continent
by establishing line of vessels between
Chicago and the European ports direct
via the lakes and river st. Lawrence.
The scheme has been discussed hereto
fore at different times, but not until the
preparations for the worlds fair were
given shape did it assume anything like
definite shape. With this route estab
lished, and sufficient harbor facilities for
the accommodation of ocean traffic pro-
vided at the Gulf ports, the great west
will be independent of the east in the
matter of exporting its surplus and i'm
porting what it may require from
abroad

a special from Paducah, Ky, in the
Globe-Democrat says: "The Republicans
of this, the Second senatorial district, had
a delegate convention here today, and
after a full discussion refused to put a
candidate in the field. Resolutions were
adopted favoring DR.. Graham. candidate
of the Peoples party" There must be
some mistake about this. With any,
thing like an equal division of forces
between the Peoples party and the
Democracy, the Republicans could elect
in that district, hands down. And. be-
sides, Graham has nothing to commend
him 20 Republican support. He is a
mediocre in ability and has always been
the meanest sort of enemy to the Repub-
ican party.

In Democratic Missouri, when state
treasurer robs the state they send him to
the penitentiary. In Republican Pennsyl-
vania they send him to the United States
senate.-Austin Statesman.
A more completely contrary statement
of facts could not be made. The Mis-
souri, embezzler is not only not in states
prison, but is being seriously discussed
by the Democratic press of that state as
suitable candidate for governor. while
the Pennsylvania fanciary who could
not square his accounts is already doing
time on a long sentence.

RAILROAD THIEVES,

A very intelligent Sedgwick county
farmer, a man of years and experience,
who devoted his early life to education,
in speaking Of railway transportation
and the seeming general disposition of
the American people, merchants, farm
ers, manufacturers and politicians to
fight railways said the other day to the
writer that he had been giving the sub
ject of American railway transportation,
ownership, taxation, ETC., his best
thought, from the most reliable date OBJ
tainable, and he had yet been unable to
figure out how the railroads managed to
pay their taxes and other charges and
maintain such low local and through
tariff rate as are maintained and live.
In the absence of everlasting steel rails
and almost indestructable wheels a rate
of One-half cent per ton per mile, as is
done in America, could never be main
tanned. He thought governmental own
ership nor any conceivable control or
management could give the people of
America as prompt and cheap service,
local and through, as is being given to-
day and which in neither particular is
rivaled by any government or corporate
roads of any other country. There is
much truth in the conclusions of the
gentleman quoted. After all the talk of
office-seekers, and the grumbling and
threats ofpretty much everybody against
railway owners and railway managers,
railroad property is, in the aggregate,
the most worthless and improbable,
dollar for dollar, not counting watered
stock, Of any property in America.

To the Editor Of the EAGLE.
If one has nothing to say silence is
commendable; if little to say there is
merit in brevity.
More thought and less idle talk would
promote an increase in useful knowl-
edge.
There can be no reforms without dis
Indignation and reorganization.
Evolution and progress necessitate a
constant readjustment to new conditions.
Those who profit by the inequalities
and injustice of existing conditions will
not be the ones to put their shoulders to
the wheels of progress.
Some errors are naturally the result of
mans zeal working in the shadows of
finite knowledge, be his purposes and
motives ever so laudable.
The germ of the future is in the pres

a contemplation of the universally
and ubiqulty of the wise, exact and in
flexible laws, similar in the operations
and control of mind and matter, encour-
age men to work with faith and conf
dence, is an incentive to an increase in a
knowledge of truth and dissipates the
chimeras and Authorizations which
prompt dependence on chance, and
subject men to the fears Of superstition.
The man who follows the promptings of
his common-sense, and works to turn up
something will find it, while the fellow
who Is waiting for something to turn up
is deservedly turned down.
Every line in the great book of nature
Is replete with knowledge, and he who
its language and finds inter-
est in its pages need know neither soli-
tude or ennui. There is always room in
the mind for knowledge of one more
fact. The unknown is infinite.

THE CRAZE FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL.

Seven steamships sailed from New
York Saturday for Europe, with 5000
cabin passengers, representing an aver
age expenditure of at least $500 each.
This is a low estimate, yet it aggregates
nearly 50, 5000 taken out of the coun-
try. This is only one weeks record, and
yet the stress of the money situation
throughout the country continues to dis
tress the commonality of the people and
their general commercial and industrial
interests. This periodic craze of the
monied class to depart the country on
alleged pleasure and health seeking pill
grimages to foreign countries is very
prolific cause Of scarcity of money here
and the permanent depletion of the vol
ume, and all upon a maudlin, senseless
notion of social cast. The same amount
Of benefit could be realized in this coun-
try, both as to pleasure and physical re-
cuperation at half the expense Of a for
eign trip, with the advantage Of spend
ing the money at home.

Fair Kate's Codes of Morals.

From Kate ield's Washington.
There are three codes of morals: Que
for women, one for men and one for roy
atty. Women must be virtuous or be
socially damned; men may do as they
please, provided they pay their club dues
and don't cheat at cards; royalty-well,
there's a divinity doth hedge a king.
which makes of his orgies very proper
tea parties. The one sympathetic link
In these several codes is that nobody
not even a woman-loses caste unless
found out.

a Woman Freak,

From the St. Paul Globe.
Mrs. Meas, of Charleston, the woman
who parting with her bones, SAYS she
suffers no pain and little inconvenience
from her affiiction. She simply sheds
the bones piece by piece, and then by
some mysterious physiological process
replaces them by a hardening of the
muscles, so that she really doesn't miss
her bones at all. That is the way with a
woman. She takes things as they come
and parts with them as they go, and
doesn't let it disturb her at all.
