Today viii be the first day of the an
nual reunion of the Southwestern Sol
diers' association at Arkansas City, and
the indications now are that it will be
one Of the most largely attended and
most interesting reunions held within Its
history. a large number of distinguished
comrades have promised to be there and
talk 10 ''the boys" Among the number
are Senator Plumb, Department Com

OUR IRON PRODUCTIONS.

Bulletin No. 113, issued from the cen
sus bureau, is devoted to iron ore interest
of the country. 1t shows the quantity
of iron ore produced in the United States
during the year 1889 to have been A.
518,041 long tons, valued at $33. .351 ,978,
an average of $3.50 per ton. The total
product at the Tenth census was Z, ,120, 1862
long tons, valued at S23, ,156, ,957. OF the
twenty-six states and territories produc-
ing iron ore in 1889 the four leading ones
are as follows: Michigan, 1856, 1863 tons;
Alabama, 1.570,349 tons; Pennsylvania
1 $50, ,234 tons; New York, 1,247 ,537
tons. The surprise in this statement is
in the fact that Michigan so far outstrips
all the other states, producing as it does
more than the other three states named,
and more than one-third of the entire
output of the whole country.
The number of employees engaged in
mining iron ore was 37,707, who were
paid in wages $13,8SO,108. The capital
invested was 500, 766, 100 of which $751;
474, ,681 is in land and the balance in
buildings, fixtures, tools, implements,
stock and cash on hand. The report shows
a remarkable increase in production and
activity over that of the tenth census.
Another remarkable feature Of it is that
while the production was more than
doubled, the aggregate value of the pro-
duct increased but little of SO per cent.
which shows a reduction in price to con-
sumers of nearly 66 per cent. Here is
unquestionable proof that the protective
tariff has the effect of reducing the cost
of the protected article to the consumer.

A RAW PIECE OF KANSAS PRAIRIE.

In former years, in the early settle
ment of this valley, the EAGLE at some
pains and with more pleasure, from
week to week instanced the
facts and figures of noteworthy
successes among its homemakers.
Hundreds of individual instances
of the phenominal productions
and developments of our soil will be
found recorded in the back files cover
ing the years from 1871 to 1885. Scores
of men in Sedgwick and Sumner and
Butler and Cowley counties, and later in
Kingman, Harper and adjoining coun-
ties, from the products of newly opened
farms encompassed independence in a
few years. That line of showing has
not been kept up principally for the rea-
son that everybody everywhere who
knew aught of this great valley had
come to conccde its wonderful fertility.
But we accidentally came into the
possession of the facts and figures of
farm-opening experience the other day
which are so interesting, instructive and
encouraging that we will give them.
They are as follows in round numbers as
taken from the account book of the
owner:
Five years ago Mr. John 7. Tucker
purchased raw piece of high prairie
lying east of this city containing $50
acres. AIr. Tucker set about most in
dustriously the cultivation and improve.
ment of his piece of prairie upon which
he erected the necessary buildings and
fences and pens and stables for small
farm. On that farm today will be found
the average number of horses, cows,
pigs. etc, in addition to which he raised
this season of 1891, fruit and grain as
follows:
$500 quarts OF strawberries.
7.000 quarts of black berries.
1000 bushels of peaches.
2.50O bushels of grapes.
30 bushels Of spricots.
- bushels of plums.
25 bushels of cherries.
80 bushels Of apples.
15 bushels of pears.
400 bushels Of corn.
l25 bushels OF oats.
225 bushels of wheat.
10 tons clover hay.
; tons timothy hay
50 tons prairie hay.
The value Of the products of this farm, |
which was but a raw piece of high |
prairie five wears ago, we leave for others
to figure out

The Atchison Champion thinks ''con-
gress could well afford to appropriate
$3.50, 200, 900 for irrigating purposes, and
deduct just that much from some of the
steals for which lavish appropriations
are made every year." Why not make
it 149 million for irrigation and give the
other million to Melbourne for his rain
making secret and in turn give the secret
to the public? AS between the two
schemes we might get scinch on sufi-
cient moisture to overcome any damag-
ing effects of drouth. This aside, how
ever, the esteemed makes a bold and
damaging charge concerning the admin
istration of the government. In justice
to itself and to the people it should be
more specific and give instances and
amounts of populations so that regular
proceedings could be instituted to cor
rect the wrongs and bring the perpetra-
tors to justice. There is very little force
in, or attention paid to such wholesale,
indiscriminate indictments as the Cham
pion alleges

The Somerville Journal says the age of
miracles is passed, and yet men continue
persstently to fall in love with homely
girls. This is in line with the answer
the wise man gave the young fellow
who wanted TO know whether it was
better to marry for love and work for
money, or marry for money and take
chances on cultivating affection. The
reply was, ''Marry for love, always; but
why not fall in love with girl that has
something" Apply this rule to the
Journals anomaly, and marriage would
be fat failure, for lack of subjects on
the part the party of the second part.

Topeka's wholesale grocery house is
closing up its business preparatory to re-
moving to some other point outside the
state. The Democrat states that the
reason assigned by the firm for the
change of base is the prevailing discrim-
nations on the part of the railroads
against Kansas points in the matter of
freight rates. Kansas seems to be in for
it in this regard, and the question is how
is she going to get out of it?

The declaration of the German en-
peror that the loaning of money to
Russia by German bankers means war
upon the empire illustrates the hy-
pocrisy and shammery of the professions
of cordiality uttered by the representa-
tiveS of the two countries each for the
other and for each others peoples, at
their arranged meetings. It must be
admitted that the Russians manifest SUI
perior diplomacy, in the interest of
peace, by borrowing money from the
country with which the probability of
hostilities is greatest. A creditor
would naturally be reluctant to make
war upon debtor, for obvious reasons.
And not only so, but the lender is weak
ened to the extent of the loan, in the
event of q conflict. These were proba-
ly the points the emperor had in his
mind when he made the statement
quoted.

1t is conceded, on all hands, that the
candidates standing at the head of our
editorial columns, and of whom the
EAGLE spoke particularly, on Sunday
last, are all strong men, exceptionally
well fitted to exercise jurisdiction over
the respective positions for which they
stand: and that the voters of the county
seeing and knowing this, will not ieo-
pardize the fortunes of any one of them,
by dividing their strength on the forlorn
hope of saving any candidate on either
of the other tickets, for any position.

1t is believed by those in position to
know that Parnell. the great Irish leader,
died intestate. If true, it is not to his
discredit. 1t rather argues in favor of
his personal honor and integrity. No
doubt he had opportunities for money
getting, to avail himself of which
would not have been regarded as dis
honest, as such things go; or it may be
that, like many other prominent men in
public and official life, he did not have
the faculty of money getting, or rather
of money saving; for after all the accu-
mutation of wealth is more dependent
upon the latter quality than any other.
Some of the greatest men this country
has ever produced, at the end of long
and honorable careers, died poor.

Unable to find any thing in his public
acts and utterances to his discredit as an
official or citizen, the Democratic press
in their determined crusade against Sec
retary Blaine, attempt to arraign him
for drawing his salary while absent from
his Office and doing no work. 1t is moth
ing to the blind critics that the impor-
tant and responsible duties of the posi-
sion have been promptly and efficiently
performed and that the public interest
has thereby been efficiently conserved
during the few weeks of his enforced
absence from the capitol: he has been
absent from his office in Washington,
and that is quite enough. 1t was all
right for Cleveland to go fishing on Dec
