OTIS FOOL SCHEME.

One of the men elected to congress
from Kansas last fall by the Alliance
lives in Topeka. His name is Otis and
he runs dairy and milk wagon. This
man Otis has drawn up bill for making
money plenty, which he will introduce
as soon as he is sworn in along with
PETER and Simpson. In sending out the
draft of his bill to the public he accom-
panies it with an argument to convince
the Alliance that it is all right A man
at Cherryvale by the name of A. L.
Wilson takes up Otis bill and argument
in the Topeka Capital Of yesterday and
effectually disposes of both in the follow
ing clear cut sentences:

THERE WILL BE LITTLE SCRATCHING

This is the off year in Kansas politics,
but its the Democratic and Alliance
parties that are off. Tney will be away
off on election day. Every Republican
Is awake to the importance of the cleo
ton this fall in Kansas and to its bearing
on the presidential election next year. If
the vote next month shows that the
Alliance and Democrats combined can
carry Kansas, that is just what will be
done next year on the electoral ticket.
The Republican party has not been in
such a contest for years and the cam
paign is warmer in many counties than
in presidential contests. The Peoples
party is fighting, in fact, against disso-
luton. If they fail to carry a large per
cent of the counties carried by them last
year their party is doomed. In a num-
Der of counties they have combi ed with
the Democrats, their plea being that the
Peoples party and the Democratic party
in the South being one, they ought to
be, therefore, one in the North. But
with six calamity howlers in the next
congress from Kansas. Republicans are
bestirring themselves and there will be
little or no scratching among Republi-
cans at the polls in Kansas next month.

A SERIOCS MATTER.

1t must strike the reading public as a
remarkable coincidence, the terrible
reck that occurred near Galesburg,
Ills., Wednesday, following as it did
Immediately upon the meeting of rail
way operatives just held at that place.
OF course no one suspects that the meet
ing referred to had anything to do with
the terril le catastrophe, but there are
those who believe that if that meeting
had given less attention to matters large
lv sentimental and more to ways and
means for improving the efficiency of
the operating service, i'll which depart
ment the members of the association
that composed the said meeting are
directly employed, and to looking after
the safety of employees and patrons of
the railways, the disaster might have
been averted, and no doubt would
have been if it was an acci-
dent and not procured as intimated
in the dispatches. Labor organizations
are all right and commendable in the
original purposes for which they are ef-
fected, but the trouble with nearly all of
them is, they fall into the line of policy
that was exemplified by the minister
who ''took his text and then preached

LOOK OUT FOR TRADING DEMO.
Gratis

Sedgwick county Republicans should
be too smart to permit themselves to be
traded out of their vote for Ike Ault. A
Republican was approached yesterday
by Democrat of Standing with the
proposition that he, the Democrat, would
vote for Judge Reed if the Republican
would vote for Charley Mosbacher. On
Tuesday of this week prominent Dem
ocrat admitted that he had secured a Re-
publican vote for MoSbacher by agreeing
to vote for Reed. When pressed for a rea-
son for his action, he answered, "Well,
Charley is a good fellow, in the first
place, and in the second place. no man
of property or business, be he Democrat
or Republican, can afford to have an
Alliance judge" 1t won't do for Demo-
Gratis to deny this or to claim that il is
but an eiectioneeriug dodge. for the con-
verSation occurred in the presence Of the
editor of the EAGLE
Now there is no danger of defeating
Judge Reed. He will be elected by an
overwhelming majority and he does not
desire his Republican friends to trade off
Ault or any other man on the ticket.

this are simply taking advantageof of timid

that it would enable the farmer to hold

wlSHrNCToN PENSIONERS,

Therearc 1000 ExaminingS Surgeons and Il, 900
pensioners paid by the Pension Agent in this
city; 5000 of the latter number arc paid in per-
son at the agency, nearly 1900 of whom call for
their pension on the first day Of each quarterly
payment On the first day Of the payment in
March last $500 pensioners were paid in per-
son. OF this number 1900 received their
checks before ] o'clock. leaving only 700 rs
the number paid from that hour to the hour
OF closing.
The number Of these personal payments on
the first day having become so large it is de-
sired by the Agent that all pensioners who can,
without Inconvenience, shall call at the agency
between the hours Of ] and p. IN.
in order TO accommodate pensioners who
receive their checks at tho agency, ii has here
fore been the custom Of the Agent TO counter
sign such checks after Endorsement, for the pur-
pose Of identifying the same at the U. 5.
Treasury and elsewhere. These personal pay
ments have now reached such large proportions
that il will be a physical impOssiblity for the
Agent 10 continue the practice, except in cases
in which pensioners are unable otherwise TO
secure Identification. Pensioners having ac-
quaintance at the Treasury, with banks or
other business houses, do not require identified
tion other than that shown by their names on
the face Of the checks which are drawn to their
ORDER
This practice OF indorsing and countersign-
ing checks in blank has an element Of danger
in IL. as il would enable the finder OF lost
check 10 negotiate it without question. IL is
much safer TO postpone writing the iudOrse-
ment until the place where the check is to be
negotiated or paid is reached.
