YIELDS TO THE PRESSURE.

Shortly after General Ives
assumed the duties of that position he
announced that he would not appoint
any assistant attorney generals for the
counties except in cases ofincompetency,
neglect or refusal on the part OF county
attorneys to perform the duties of their
office, which include prosecutions for
violation of the prohibitory law. And
although appealed to a number Of times
to appoint assistants in several counties,
General Ives usually referred such petit
tons back to the county attorneys with
instructions. But it seems that an
aggravated case of careless, or wilfull
disregard, or incompetency, or all COM
bined, has developed in Cowley county.
and has become so fragrant that, al
though the officer complained Of was
chosen by General Ives party, the attor-
ney general has yielded to the pressure
of popular demand from that county,
ordered the arrest of the county attor-
ney, The investigation Of the allegations
against him and appointed an assistant
for that county. In referring to the
matter the Arkansas City Traveller saws,
editorially:
"The arrest of County Attorney At
kinson yesterday, and spiriting him
away to Winfield upon the charge of
malfeasance in Office, will create some
surprise, among his friends at least.
Malfeasance is defined by Dir. Webster
as doing an act which a person ought
not 10 do: evil conduct Ii that is the
extent of the complaint, our advice to
Mr.. Atkinson would be 70 nlead guilty
at once and then commence proceedings
against every officer in the county.
/ ere Is not Peoples party officer in
Cowley county who Is not liable to arrest
and punishment on that charge. The
fact Is Attorney General Ives aud few
local celebrities IN the Peoples party
want to parade before the public as great
reformers by Masking Atkinson feel the
weight of their displeasure and an out
ragged law. That Atkinson has been
guilty of neglect Of duty there can be no
dou5:, and he should be punished for il.
So should other officials who are equally
As guilty. lie started off with a great
flourish of trumpets and he collapsed

The political Alliance base their de-
mand for the adoption of their ware
house scheme by the government upon
the policy of the government in dealing
with liquor manufacturers. If the gov
eminent should extend the bonded ware
house privileges to farmers and should
require the same considerations of them
that it does of the distillers, they would
raise louder and longer howl than they
do now at the alleged discrimination
against them. The warehouse advocates
forget that the distiller has to pay the
government tax of 80 cents a gallon
on all the products of his still, which
tax must be paid before he can remove
his goods from the warehouse to put
them upon the market. A tax on wheat
in proportion to that on whisky and &C
cording to the relative cost of the two
products would amount to about $3.50 a
bushel, and would make the cost of that
necessary article to the consumer at
home about 81 25 bushel. The idea is
simply preposterOus.

To The Editor Of the Eagle.
"Will you please say to the people of
Sedgwick county that there is no foun-

Lawrence Journal: "The political
wire pullers who set up the pins for
may that there are great many straight
Democrats in Douglas county, men who
will not trade the principles of their
party, to them sacred principles, for the
benefit of some man who wants an Office.
One of the most prominent of the Demo
Gratis of Douglas county said to the Jour
nal yesterday. The Democrats deserve

glad that the name OF Democracy is not

the situation in Sedgwick county so
snugly that it looks as if it were meant
for it exclusively.

A BREAK DOWN.

While working off the early mail edi-
ton, yesterday morning, safety key
becoming loose fell into the cogs of the
wheels of the EAGLES perfecting press,
completely disabling the machine, which
will explain the hardness of the edition
in reaching the great majority of our
subscribers. Il is the first instance in
years that the paper has failed of being
promptly on time and the unavoidable
disappointment to our readers is greatly

oKLAHOMA,s PROGRESS.

The report of Governor Steele to the
secretary of the interior. published in
yesterday mornings EAGLE, was full
and comprehensive showing of the pro-
gress made in organizing and systema-
thing civil community in wild and
uninhabited country out of thoroughly
cosmopolitan aggregation of people, and
in bringing such organized community
up to standard of perfection in all that
goes to make the state, in the remarkably
short tine of less than two years. The
showing is little less than marvellous
when all the circumstances and condi-
tions that have occurred since the date
of opening are considered, and reflects
great credit upon the governor as an Or
ganizer and leader of men. A man less
familiar with the traits and Characters
tics of human nature, less resourceful
and clear headed, and one possessed of
less judgment and determination than
he, would likely have failed in many
instances where he succeeded. It
would perhaps be too much to say
that in all the trying circumstances and
rapidly changing conditions the gov
ernor has made no mistake; but it is
only just to say that he made so few and
they slight of consequence that no one is
able to call them to mind even at this
early date.
The report covers every phase of in
terest conferred in Oklahoma territory as
originally laid out, opened and organ
lied, and treats the co-relative interests
the added lands recently opened to
settlement, those now being treated for
and the now famous Cherokee strip.
The recommendations concerning the
strip contain plausible solution of that
long vexed question, and at the same
time one of the utmost fairness and con-
sideration for the Indian claimants to
those lands.
Upon the whole Governor Steele is
entitled to the congratulations of the |
country for the very gratifying success
that has attended his efforts, and no less |
SO the intelligent and patriotic people
citizens of the territory-in their
achievements making for themselves
homes and in maintaining good order
and decorum the while.

SEDGWICK COUNTY BIGGER THAN

From the American investments.

From the American Investments.
That writer in a Manchester, n. H.,
paper who asserted that ''most Kansas
cities, by the way, are not as large as
New Hampshire villages, evidently had
just rolled down from the mountains
after Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, and had
not heard of the past twenty years
growth. Census bulletin No. SO shows
that Kansas has nine cities of over eight
thousand inhabitants, against New
HampShire's five, and nine towns of be-
tween four and eight thousand people,
against the latter's seven, No, the east
ern man has not struck the right COM
parison here for his peace of mind.
Neither will he find it in the products of
the soil, as long as beautiful Sedgwick,
with but one-ninth of the land possessed
by New Hampshire, can, in an "off
year" produce more wheat, corn and
oats than the whole state. There is no
occasion for ''nipped investors" mis-
stating facts.

Herman OelrIchs resigns his position
as a member of the Democratic national
committee and registers his protest
against the course of Tammany Hall in
assuming to itself the prerogatives of
dictatorial authority in Democratic af-
fairs. Mr.. Oelrichs is representative of
the large German-American element in
the Democratic party of the state of
New York. The virtual dictation and
control of the state of New York by
the Tammany bosses has at last aroused
the state, many prominent Democrats
joining the Republicans in their denun-

reign of corrupt and dictatorial Tam
many. The only way to break up this
political horse leach is to elect Fassett
governor, which the people are proceed

From the Kansas City Star.
The Associated Press agent at Helena
rose with an occasion when he alluded
to the Montana female robber as high

women are now interchangeable terms,
with perhaps the slight difference that
women is little the loftier word. The
female in question had more OF the char
acteristics Of the modern lady" than Of
the woman.

Many years ago prominent clergy.

IS. Thinking about wrongs and signing
over them never mended one. Rut tho
people who exert themselves TO right tho
wrong, making a good stir about il while
they do and worrying at other people TO
exert themselves, too, will often forcs

Has followed since time begun,
This light of the marsh. beyond
The NOW is last years beyond;
We push it aside for view
OF the will-o'-the-wisp anew,
The light of the fair beyond.
Swallow the sob in the throat
Some time there will be no cross,
Some where there is pay for our loss,
Oh, light of the marsh afloat.
Beyond, oh, beautiful trust,
The lotus of faith. like snow,
That knows what we do not know,
That have beyond we must.
At the rainbow's end, tits said,
There lieth pot of gold;
IT'S tale to the children told,
OF the will-o'-the-wisp ahead.
And man, amid pain and strife,
Is child with a broken heart,
Who fears from his dreams to part,
Lest he realize what is life.
Beyond ! over all. beyond
Some where, all things viii be clear,
Nor at the graves mouth we fear,
And death echoes low-beyond.

1t is not only a matter of inference but
a solid fact. And the only connection
the Democrats will have with the cleo
ton will be an attempt to combine with
the Alliance, hoping thereby to save one
of their candidates, and the one whose
success will mean as much pecuniary
profit to the party's ringmaster as the
patronage of the office will afford. But
the little game will not pan out accord

they have no occasion or inclination to
desert it or fail it of cordial and united
