WORLDS FAIR SCHEMES.

Ex-Governor Click has plan for rails
ing the money for the Kansas exhibit
ton at Chicago. He believes that the
fifty or sixty counties of eastern Kansas
should make an appropriation of $4,000
each from the county treasury on con-
dition that the legislature should REIN
burse them when it meets in 1893. The
Newton Republican thinks this can
probably be done if somebody will give
bond with approved security that the
next legislature will not be like the last
enc.
There would be no risk in making
such a bond; but the plan cannot be
acted upon because the counties cannot
legally appropriate money for such
purpose if they were all inclined to do
SO, and it is safe to say many of them
would not if they could.
Senator Rush, of Larned, makes a
proposition that will prove more popular
than any we have seen suggested. 1t is
this: that twenty-five banks each advance
$4,000 for fund for a Kansas exhibit
at the words fair, and pledges the First
National bank of Larned to head the
list with that sum. Nobody can object
TO this, and there are that number of
banks in the state that could afford to
contribute the sum named, and make
money thereby as an advertisement for
themselves and the counties and sections
in which they are located

Mr.. Bradiaugb's UIndfalI.

If Governor Boyd does not curse the
fates that seated him in the chair of
chief executive of Nebraska, he is surely
possessed of Job-like patience. Not only
is his right to the Office contested by po-
htical enemies on two sides, but the leg
islature that is controlled by the ALI
ance continues to pass bills that the peo-
pie of the state protest against becom-
ing laws, and while the Alliance urge
him to sign the bills, and present self
interest likewise prompts him TO do so,
he is confronted with monster remons-
strances. His only course, to save him
self, seems 10 be TO withhold his sigma
ture and permit the disputed acts to be-
come laws or fail, as the case may be,
without his approval or veto.

In response to thu written criticisms

In response to the written criticisms
from several parts of the state to the
EAGLES editorial last week which held
that the alien land act of the last legisla-
ture was unconstitutional or in conflict
with section seventeen Of the bill Of
rights and which criticisms calls atten-
ton to the fact that in 1885 the said bill
of rights was amended, we have to say
that we are aware of all that. But the
amendment does not empower prohibit
ton. 1t simply says that the legisla-
ture may regulate" Section seventeen
now stands and reads:
.'No distinction shall ever be made be-
tween citizens of the state of Kansas and
the citizens of other states and territor-
les of the United States in reference to
the purchase, enjoyment or descent of
property. The rights of aliens in refer
ence to the purchase, enjoyment or de-
scent Of property may be regulated by
law"

The American Economist of March 90,
contains an article from the pen Of c..
Wood Davis on Russian grain produc-
ton. Like all of Mr.. Davis economic
papers, it is exceedingly clear and forci-
bic, and shows among other things a de-
crease of food crop acreage. in that great
wheat country, of 100000 since 1872,
and which conc udes as follows:
"Russia's augmented exports are
wholly due to the increasing poverty of
the Russian cultivator This condition
affects alike the noble and the peasant,
and the result is that the great estates of
the mobiles are being sold piece-meal and
are going into the hands OF the mer-
chants and bankers. 1t appears alto
gether probable that Russian exports
will diminish AS the population increases,
as there is limit to the taxes which
even car can extort from the starving
people.n

The Topeka Capital complains of the
treatment it receives at the hands Of the
news trusts who own the right and con-
troll the sale of papers on Kansas trains.
The Capital talks like it had just awak-
ened to the fact that the train boys of
the lines Of that section of the state are
controlled in the interest of Kansas City,
whereupon it proceeds to do little
clustering. But its buster will prove
only buster. Kansas City interests not
only run that section of the state but
the Capital will find that all the roads so
far as Kansas dailies are concerned. are
tied up beyond any successful inter-
ference, Of even presidents or general
managers.

of the victims he and his juror con-

denies that any effort was made to bride

but there is nothing strange about that;
the common estimate in the Crescent

that the bride takers were fixed before
they were made jurors in fact. Selig-

back to New Orleans-he will probably
enjoy better health somewhere elso.

WESTERN COAL DEPOSITS.

The total output of coal produced in
the states and territories west of the Mis-
sissippi river aggregated in 1889, 16,067, :
500 tons, an increase in the decade from
1880 of II ,4S3, 176 tons. The value of
this product at the mines was, for 1889,
S24, 413, 1854, against s., 1923, 722 in 1880.
From these figures it is seen that while
the production increased more than
three fold, the price decreased from
81 93 per ton to S1.52. Kansas stands
fourth in the list, producing 1880, 1853
tons, against 2,5S7,S23 for Missouri,
1000, 900 for Iowa, and 100000 for
Colorado.
The coal measures of Kansas cover an
area of about 10000 square miles, under
lying the entire eastern portion of the
state. Although coal deposits are
known to exist in about twenty counties
in the state, regular mining operations
are carried on in but six, viz, Leaven-
worth, franklin, Neosho, Usage, Bour-
bon and Cherokee. The average num-
Der of persons employed in 1889 was
5,065. aud the amount of wages paid

lEypnotizing Drinkers.

If hypnotism could always be put to

who was in danger of becoming COM

absolute distaste for liquor, there would

One of the witnesses in the kincaid-
Taulbee homicide case now on trial in
Washington City, testified that he saw
Taulbee pull Kincaid's ear before the lat
ter fired the fatal shot. According to
the Kentucky idea Taulbee's act was suf-
ficient provocation to justify Kincaid in
shooting him. If this idea obtains to the
extent of securing for kincaid an acquit-
tai, Senator Blackburn will no doubt
thank his stars that Senator Chandler is
not Kentuckian and was not a citizen

Dread of Female Suffrage.

From the New York Sun.
Zone of the things to be dreaded about
female suffrage" said a bashful wife, sis
that when women are party candidates
for offices, as they are in some states al
ready, they are subject to attacks by the
opposing party just as other candidates
are. l should not like to have been one
of the women who were candidates for
school commissioner IN this state last
November I don't think they were
much abused by their adversaries, but
dreadful pictures of them were printed
in the papers, with sketches of their his
tory, and | saw caricature of one of
them. Over in New Jersey, where the
women have just been voting for school
trustees, they heard good deal of rouge
language at the polls, and in Vineland
there was female candidate who was
defeated and did not get the votes of her
own sex. When women run for all po-
litical offices and take the stump they are
sure to be caricatured and criticised like
their masculine rivals; and it would be
hard for me to stand up against that sort
of thing"

A HERMITS PHILOSOPHY.

| To the Editor Of the Eagle
Thought is life; thought precedes
| action, creation and formation, and all
material things are thoughts material
lied. The faculty of thinking is life's
great -~ystery, incomprehensible, be-
yond finite understanding. The body is
no more mans true self than is his cloth
ing or his house, differing from these
latter things only in degree of relation,
and utility, The body is the medium by
which man is brought into contact with
a material world for the acquisition of
knowledge, and for development in
character and understanding. The spirit,
clothed in matter, is limited in the cog
nizance of its environment and the true
nature of its existence; but freed from
the body its power of perception is in
creased, and the nature of its being
understood. Mans abode in the body is
but the initiatoro period of his existence,
and the phenomenon, death, but nat
ural process in the opening and unfold
ing of life. The eye does not see, nor
the ear hear, but through the eye and
ear the spirit sees and hears; and these
limited bodily senses are but narrow
channels through which man receives
instruction, guides his action and enjoys
his surroundings. He could have been
provided with other senses, doubtless,
had they been needful or good in this
period of his existence. How superior is
-
capacity! THE HERMIT.

The New York Journal Of Commerce

The New York Journal of Commerce
declares there is a corrupt job of some
kind in nearly every bill offered at Al
bany for legislative action" That, to
say the least, is not very fiattering to the
Legislature of the Empira state. Accord

boodlers and lobbyists must have practi-
cal control of legislation at Albany.
But it is, perhaps, not too much to say
that the New York legislature would be
the exception to the rule if it were other
wise.
