ABOUT KANSAS FISH STREAMS.

The Ell Dorado Republican in answer
to the EAGLES complaint that somebody
was supplying the Wichita market with
black bass from the Walnut river. taken
by dynamite and traps replies as follows;
The editor of the Republican prepared
a bill. introduced and passed it through
the senate last winter which made it IN
lawful to catch any kind Of fish in any
of the waters Of Kansas at any time OF
the year except with rod, hook and line.
The bill was iron-clad Ia every respect,
providing that the governor should re-
move county attorneys who failed to
prosecute violators of the law. 1t further
provided for building fish ways on all
dams and appropriated $500 per year for
two years to pay the expense of planting
twenty Car loads of game fish in our
streams. But it all went for nothing.
The reform house of representative voted
thirty or forty thousand dollars to i'm
peach Judge Botkin but would not vote
5000 per year expenses to stock our
streams with fish and protect those that
we now have. Butler county has num-
Der of fine game fish streams and the
thing to do is to keep them replenished

yield satisfactory crops without prope T
cultivation, nor has any process yet been
invented by which failure of crops can
be rectified through legislation Of any
sort. These homely truths are far better
worth considering than the various
schemes of relief which have been
evolved by the Alliance move
ment. The farmer who pursues his
business in an intelligent and per-
severing manner has as many chances
of success as man of any other class or
calling. He cannot expect TO produce
big crops and get high prices every year.
but taking one year with another, and
Using necessary discrimination in the adj
justment of his proceedings, he will
secure a reasonable measure Of prosper
ity. The records leave no room for
doubt upon this point. 1t is with the
farmers as it is with all other people in
the matter of occasional loss and disap-
pointment. They have their times of Ill
luck and their times of good luck, and
the average is In their favor, notwlth
standing all their legitimate causes of
complaint and Encouragement. 1t is
well for them to take an interest in poll
tics and to study questions of current
interest, with view TO acting the part
of patriotic and faithful citizens; but it
does not pay them to do loose and sloth-
full farming in order to attend political
picnics and carry On political agitations
having reference exclusively to their
own affairs.

AN EXTRAORDINARY RULING.

The Missouri papers are raking Judge
Burgess over the Goals for an alleged
error in his charge to the jury in the case
against ex-State Treasurer Nolan, in
which the jury has just disagreed. The
charge concludes in this way:
Before you can convict the defendant
you must believe beyond a reasonable
doubt, from the evidence in the case, that
he converted the public money to his own
use, with the intent at the time of con-
verting TO retain said money and deprive
the state of it.
1t is clearly held in this sentence that
it is not sufficient to show that the de-
PENDANT took and converted the money
to his own use, which fact usually car
ries with it a presumption of guilt, but
that he meant at the time of the CONVEX
sion to keep it and not pay it back. In
almost every such case Of embezzlemept
the party guilty of the conversion of
trust funds, goes into the mine gradual
ly, fully intending if his plans succeed
TO replace the money embezZled. We
quite agree with the Galveston News
that if such an intention excuses him, no
wonder the army Of embezzlers is rapid
~ increasing.

DOWN BRAKES.

The following brief interview with a
former citizen of st. Louis, which ap-
peared in theNew York Continent, was
evidently published by that paper as a
guy at sleepy old st. Louis" but it con-
tains point worthy of serious consider
alton in the present era of pushing. driv-
ing, break-neck get-there-ativeness:
Il have been here just eight years, "
said a former citizen of st. Louis, land I
would like New York very well if every
body in it was not in hurry. If [ ask
a man TO stop and hear story, he is III a
hurry; if | want friend to take drink
with me, he is in hurry; if he drinks,
he does it in hurry; even the ladies are
always in a hurry. Out in ST. Louis we
used to take time to live. We did not all
want to be millionaires, but we had fat
bank accounts, and were happy"
A wise man once remarked that he
would rather wear out than rust out
That idea is inculcated in the divine in
junction to be diligent in business. The
trouble is, as the st. Louian stated, that
the mania for money getting, the accu-
mutation of wealth in a short time has
driven the American people to the verge
of lunacy. Men, from the effects of this
practice, grow old and become incapac-
itated to serve their fellowmen in
any sphere of life when they should be
in their prime, 1t is a question which is
the greater evil, slothfulness or hurry
that implies intemperance in action that
cannot but lead to premature decay.

mo CAVALRY AND NO VETERANS"

1t was bad enough for Won Moltke to
describe the union and confederate
armies as EARNED mobs," but Lord
Wolseley uses even stronger language.
He says in his recent paper on Gen. Sher-
man that our civil war produced mo
cavalry and no veterans.
The American reader will have to do
some hard thinking before he under
stands Lord Wolseley. The British COM
mander says that ''to charge with a
front of four or five troopers, armed
with revolvers, not with swords, down a
road, was the nearest approach to a
legitimate use to which the union or
confederate cavalry were put. Then he
contends that it takes the education of
the drillroom to make a veteran.
On the third day at Gettysburg, and
also at Brandy Station, Va, large bodies
of cavalry were certainly put to what
Lord Wolseley calls a legitimate use.
Whenever the conditions demanded it
the cavalry of both armies fought, not
IN scattered bands, but in squadrons. It
is true that many times the troopers
charged down the road armed with
revolvers, but the road was there.
and there was no open plain
fer larger maneuvers. Armies in
this country do not find every
where such hattlefelds as are common
in Europe. They are compelled to fight
in forests and among the mountains, and
along narrow roads. This young coun-
try is not laid off like parade ground.
1t strikes us that the successful work of
our cavalry under such circumstances
shows that they were equal to any kind
Of lighting.
The British generals charge that our
war produced no veterans is true
enough if lie means that we have not
succeeded in producing soldiers who are
tit for nothing outside of army life. We
Americans are jacks We
learn the arts of peace in a hurry, pick
up the ira of war when it is necessary,
and then return to our regular occupa-
tlons. 4 veteran, from the British point
of view, is man who is such a thor
ough soldier that he is incapable of
earning his living in any of the trades or
occupations of peace. 1t must be adj
mitted that American soldiers are not
to be measured by such a standard.
Most of them got their military educa-
ton IN front Of the enemy, aud after four
years hard fighting they went to work
and made it very evident that thev were
able 10 hold their own. They were fit
for something better than lounging in
barracks in times of peace.

WHY AM A PROTECTIONIST.

Hon. Justin S. Morrii, United States
senator from Vermont, chairman of the
senate committee on finance, says he is
a protectionist because:
First-It brings together diversified in
dustries which never fail TO vastly in
crease the personal intelligence, indus
try and wage-earnings of the people.
Second-It adds prodigiously to the
power of increasing, by machinery and
steam and water power, the necessaries
of life and of advanced civilization, and
also greatly cheapens the cost of subsis-
tence.
Third-It furnishes an opportunity for
every person to find the employment
best adapted to his or her genius and
capacity, that will secure the largest in
come or the greatest happiness.
Fourth-It creates a home market,
without which the cultivators of land in
America would be but little better off
than our aborigines.
Fifth-It is the bulwark Of national
in peace and war.

SOME OBSERVATIONS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
A financial article prepared by the
government at Washington May -,
makes very remarkable statement to
account for the gradual drain of gold
from America by saying it is caused by
the boarding of gold reserves by Eur
pean countries for warlike and other
purposes. Il do not see how that would
effect our reserves) 1t further says it is
accounted for by our excessive purchases
of foreign goods. Crhere is something
in that.) And then it further says it is
necessary to meet the expenses of the
thousands of American travellers pour
ing their money into European Golfers.
"a foolish extravagance.) When the
tide turns this way and the American
cereals and other products are in de-
mand, much of the gold sent abroad, if
not all of it, will come back. The pro-
ducts of America, in other words, indi-
rectly have to pay for this ex-
travagance. 1t looks to me as
if we would stop our foolish
extravagant habits few years we could
accumulate all the gold in the world and
be the most independent and prosperous
nation in the world. Now we spend our
money before our harvest. Should the
harvest fail it is lost. This brings to
mind the query, Is there any way to
make the harvest more sure, make the
average yield of grain in Kansas greater?
Yes, the average yield could be increased
In the careful selection of
the seed and more thorough preparation
of the ground or seed bed; In buying
seed very little thought is made con-
corning its productiveness, although it
is a well known fact that there is very
great difference in the productiveness of
seed grain-which is gradually increased
or decreased under favorable or unfavor-
able conditions Of growth-by the sea-
son, soil and amount of seed sown
to the acre. And here is the
point | wish to bring out. To
improve the seed each individual kerr
nal should be developed to its fullest ca
pacity, not crowded. If we sow three
bushels of wheat to the acre and get
thirty bushels product, the product of
that field is not as good seed to plant as
that from field that produces twenty
five bushels where only two bushels are
,owed to the acre, and the principle ap-
plies equally to other grains.
