REFORMS THAT ARE NEEDED.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Reform the Republican party and in
clude the Democratic party and disperse
the Alliance party, make the platform
on the three cardinal principles of
progress-liberty, freedom and indepen-
dance. This will include the foreign
capitalists and aliens who, seeing your
loyal independence, will seek to be
Americanized, and viii join your party
and vote your ticket.
The first reform you need in Kansas
is the right of petition. There are those
who consider themselves under an OBJ
noxious law: let them test it at the bal
lot. Give suffrage to all the people and
denounce the selling of votes. Discard
official appointments by giving to the
people the entire elective franchise. Dis
pense with civil service reform. which
is used for political preferment, and
pay a just compensation for labor in
Office. Protect the laborer and farmer
as well as the manufacturer; the miner
as well the banker; the citizen as we'll
as the capitalist. Do this and all America
will prosper. H. E. BIDwELL.

NO EXTRA SESSION.

Some discussion has been had in the
public press as to the probability of an
extra session of the senate being called TO
confirm nominations of additional circuit
court judges under the new law for the
relief of the supreme court. The point
was made that those nominations could
not be made during recess of the SEN
ate, since the new offices did not fall
within the class of vacancies happening
during recess Of the senate. The attor-
ney general advised the president that he
could fill these Offices by temporary ap-
cancy" in the constitution signifies the
condition where an Office exists of which
there is no incumbent, and is used with
out limitation as to how the vacancy
come to exist. The opinion is contrary
to that of some of the country's most
eminent jurists, and the president has
decided not to adopt it. He has reached
the conclusion that the new judges need
not be appointed before the next session
of congress, inasmuch as new courts are
not to be organized under the law until
July, and can then be organized by the
supreme court justice and the existing
circuit judge, who are to form a quorum
of the new court in each circuit.
This course is taken to avoid any ques-
ton about the tenure of the new judges.
There will, therefore, be no extra session
of the senate for this particular reason.
This course will give the president more
time in which to make judicious selec-
tons of candidates for confirmation.

GOSPEL, AND TRUE.
From the Atchison Patriot.

Kansas is destined to be-is already
the greatest farming state in the Union.
Its soil is more fertile and more product
i've. Its acres will produce more wheat
and corn and oats and potatoes; its pas
lures bigger and fatter cattle and hogs,
and its orchards and vineyards more and
better fruit. 1t is the one state in the
Union where you have but to tickle the
soil with hoe to make it laugh with a
bountiful crop. 1t is the one state that
has afforded innumerable instances
where one crop has paid for land and
fences and machinery and for family ex-
penses. In this wonderful state, won
derful in the respects we have mention
ed, wonderful in its area, wonderful In
its climate, and wonderful in its wealth
of mines; lands, compared with those OF
other states can be bought for song.
Never again will any state offer such IN
ducenents to the farmer of the east,
never again will such an opportunity TO
better his condition be presented to him.
The wonderful lands of Kansas, today so
wonderfully cheap, will soon be the
most valuable in the country. Now Is
the time to buy land in Kansas.

RETALIATION AGAINST GERMANY.
From the Globe-Democras.

| From the Globe-Democras.
The report that this country will retail
ate If Germany continues its interdict
against American pork will be received
with satisfaction by the people. Action
of this sort has often been recommended
by the press and by statesmen who have
given much thought to the question, but
until recently adequate power in this
direction was not provided in any ready
and practical shape. This lack, however.
has been abundantly supplied in the re-
ciprocity section of the Mckinley tariff
law and in the meat-inspectiOn act If
the Germans keep up their exclusion of
American pork the president may either
ultimately restore the duty on German
beet sugar. or he may refuse admission
of such German products as he may
single out and attack. The probability
now is that he will take the course first
mentioned.
Thus far the efforts Of our diplomates
to induce Germany to relax her unjust
and injurious restrictions against this
product have not met with much success.
Even the inspection, thorough and scien-
| titic as it Is, which our government has
instituted over American meats, in
obedience to the law recently enacted,
has failed to have the desired effect. A
member of the German ministry said in
the reichstag few days ago that this
examination is inadequate. and that the
barrier against the importation Of Amer
lean hog products will not be removed.
Diplomacy and legislation failing to
overcome German prejudice and per-
verseness, reprisals will have to be tried.
A less drastic method Of procedure in
this matter would be more agreeable to
US, to be sure. Such course is species
of commercial warfare to which we are
opposed except as last resort, but it is
the only one which promises any success
in this case.
Germany's action in this affair has
been, from the beginning, hypocritical
and unjust The crusade in that coun-
try against pork products from the Unit
ed States was started and has been main
which would be benefited by the en-
barge. Kindred interests in other
European countries were also in the
movement, as the exclusion extended to
the American articles only. Scientists
in Germany, after the most rigid and
careful tests, have shown that American
pOIh Is DIS Tree tuc uIScdoco W WiiCu
meat of that sort is subject as any that
is found anywhere else in the world, and
have thus exposed the duplicity of its
defamers. Germany S restrictions, there
fore, are insincere and unreasonable. In
the United States there has been thus
far no discrimination against the COM
modities of any nation, and we propose
to take all available and practicable
measures to combat it when any other
nation invokes this policy against u.s.

The meat inspection rules adopted by
the secretary of agriculture to govern
the inspection of meats intended for ex-
port, are full enough to covery every
point that is possible to be raised by
Directing foreigners, and while rather
voluminous are yet sufficiently compre-
hensive to be readily understood. If,
with these abundant safeguards against
harm from the use of unwholesome
meats, and the assurance of the govern
ment that they will be faithfully OBJ
served, the restrictions thus far imposed
upon American hog products by Ger
many be still maintained, the admins
tration at Washington will not only be
warranted in retaliating in kind, but
will be urged to SO act by the demands
Of the people.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
Judge James HUMPHREY has been re-
tired from the railroad commission, by
the election of a Democratic railroad
conductor, whose election was in
response to the petitions of the railroad
employees of the state. Judge Humphrey
was appointed as the Democratic mem
Der of the board when the board was
created in 1888, and has therefore served
eight years. We have known Judge
Humphrey for nearly thirty years. He
served many years as district judge.
He is a student, a hard worker and one
of the very finest lawyers IN the state.
He has been clean and honest man all
these days, and useful under all circum-
stances, for a while an upright Judge

times TO establish order, and Judge

Some MEN are born to greatness, some
achieve it, and some have it thrust upon
them. Washington county has a case in
the last class. A citizen of that county
bears the name of the zig Seventies con-
gresham and also some similarity in per
sonal appearance, and when he goes to
town he is lionized and entertained and
shown all manner of personal consider
alton, including unlimited presents in
sox; whereas he was formerly unknown
beyond the limits of his immediate
neighborhood- But the reflection, if there
be any, is got wholly on the victim. 1t
displays one of the weaknesses of human
nature for the hero. SO strong is this
penchant that it often occurs, as in the
case In point, that the worshipers set up
dummy in the obsence of real hero.
And IN this respect we do not seem TO
be making much improvement upon our
Lees enlightened @ ancestors.

An Independent exchange, with strong
Democratic leanings, declares that ''if
the Democrats, when they assume charge
of congress, amend the rules of the
house, SO as to allow of filibustering by
the Republican minority, they will write
themselves down as the profoundest
fools that ever attempted to legislate."
The esteemed need give itself no I'M
necessary worry over that. The Demo-
Gratis will be the last to change that rule,
now that it has been established, and
they in control of the house. You see
the shoe is now on the other foot.
