A detachment of cavalry is now scouting
near Chilocco, in the Cherokee strip.
They will 90 down Wolf creek and the Ar
kansas river, then along Black Bear and
out through the central part of the strip.
Other detschments have been sent out
through the western part of the strip and
the entire country will be gone over care
fully. The soldiers have orders to round
up aud confiscate all cattle and to eject all
boomers, burn their houses aud destroy
their caves. As yet but very few boomers
have been found. Those who were settled
along Black Bear learned of the coming of
the soldiers and are now on the move so
they can not be molested. All persons
found hunting corner stones, or in any
way showing disposition to settle, will
be elected from the country. Several com
panies of cavalry will go into winter quar-
tiers on the Chikaskia river south of the
Chilocco schools so as to be in readiness at
any time to meet any invasion of boomers
promptly.

NO PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS GO.

Personal considerations are all well
enough as a moving influence with
voters at an election when there are no
political principles involved and the well
| fare and best interests of the community
are not at stake, but in the pending con-
test such considerations cannot be plead
ed with Republicans, because the princi-
pies of honest government and the credit
and good name abroad of our city, coun-
ty and state are directly involved in the
issue now Joined. The contest being be-
tween the Republican party and the So
called peoples party, one or the
other must succeed. If the Republican
party shall be declared the victor at the
polls it will be taken as evidence abroad
as well as at home that the honor and
integrity of the community and of the
people who compose it will be MAIN
taided, suspicion and distrust will be dis
armed and banished and full confidence
restored. If the other following should
win, however, it could not but be taken
as evidence that the sentiments and
policies inculcated and upheld by that
new school of political economy-if it
may be so designated-will control in
the administration of the affairs of
government. What the effect
of this would be the people of Kansas al
ready know to their serious inconven-
fence, not to say their material injury.
In view of these things-and nobody
can truthfully deny them-we repeat,
that no good citizen can afford to take
any chances at the election next Tues
day of jeopardiziug the best interest of
the entire community by casting a vote
for personal friend, who may be
ever so good a man and clever fellow. as
against the candidate for the same Office
on the Republican ticket To get the
full effect and benefit of a Republican
victory it must BE- full and complete;
that is, every candidate on the ticket
must be elected. To eject only portion,
in the effect it would have upon the pub
lie, would be but little better than the
defeat of H.
These considerations are personal to
every citizen of the city and county
Democrats and RepubIicans-because, to
the extent that the credit and good
name of the community are compro-
missed, the commercial standing and per-
sonal responsibility of the individual citi-
zen is injuriously affected. And since
self preservation is the first natural
prompting, the plea Of 'good-feI-
low" "honest man." personal friend
andsoforth has no weight in an issue
that involves so much of the public well

THE INTERESTS OF LABOR.

Hon. J. Sloat Fassett, the Republican
nominee for governor of the state of
New York, in one of his recent notable
and electrifying addresses before an
outpour of the people of the great
metropolis of the state and country, in
referring to the labor interests of that
state, made use of the following declara
ton of truths that applies to the balance
of the country as pertinently as 1t does
to New York:
sit is a narrow, contemplate and
petty notion of the relations of men to
each other that seeks TO array class
against class or race against race. 1t
shows an utter impossibility to take IN
and understand the broad spirit of the
possibilities of American liberties. There
is no distinction between classes that
labor and classes that do no labor. The
man who is really foe to labor is the
enemy of his race, for when Adam was
driven out of Eden the decree was pub
lished for the eternities.
Man could not be happy, man could
not be virtuous, man could not be pro-
gressive, man could not be exalted,
unless he earned his livelihood by the
toll of his brains or the callousing of his
hands. The great work of the Republic
can party has been the enforcement of
the principle that in the eyes of the law
all men were equal. no matter what their
color, no matter what their status, no
matter what their race. In the great
struggle of life all men in the eyes of the
law were absolutely equal everywhere.
clustered then be the tongues of those
demagogues who seek temporary adj
vantage in the effort to array the classes
against classes-printers against en-
plovers, servants against employers,
working against farmers, farmers against
capitalists, bankers against railroad men,
railroad men against their employees.
Accused be the man who seeks to play
upon the baser emotions. while ne occu-
pies position of power.
SIN this country under the blue skies
of America, supported by one constitu
ton. encouraged by one symbol of lib
erty and progress, the crimson bars and
the silver stars over our head, each
American makes the cause of an Amer
lean his own, and like one great mighty
wave our nation, as nation, not an ag-
gregatiOn of atoms, is moving forward,
steadily onward and upward, in the
equal rights of each other. There never |
was a great cause that did not have its |
Judas, who was willing to betray it for |
forty pieces of silver. Labor has had Its |
Judas, and has now.

Threats. War has long been thought Of
as iminent. and this state of things has
come TO be regarded as normal. This
anomalous condition, without parallel

THE ALLIANCE ARRAIaNED.
Resublicans and Democrats Urged to
Combine Against it,
From the Topeka Democrat.

From the Topeka Democrat.
G, 9. Crause, an engineer on the ST.
Louis and San Francisco railrrad, ad-
dressed an audience mostly composed of
railroad men, at the Grand last night.
He gave the history of his labors in the
legislature last winter and his experience
with the Alliance house. He demon
strated too clearly for contradiction the
absurdity of railroad man voting the
Alliance ticket by showing that but one
of the measures proposed by the railroad
men passed the house.
Among the bills defeated were: To
provide for a board of arbitration; to
provide automatic couplers and brakes;
to prevent railroad companies taking a
hospital fee out of the salaries of en-
ployes; to restrain railroad companies
from employing men as engineers or
conductors who were in the habit of be-
coming intoxicated.
He quoted from the utterances of
Simpson when he said the Peoples party
would control by the strong right arm;
of PETER at Wichita, when he said plow-
shares would be turned into muskets,
ETC.; Of Mrs Lease, who said the farmers
should raise less corn and more HI
Now, my friends" he continued,
"what does all this mean?' Voice: at
means anarchy"
Eyes, it means anarchy, and l want to
warn these people that they can't throw
the red flag of anarchy in the face of the
railroad men of this country"
He pointed out the dangers iminent
and said Democrats and Republicans
should unite Immediately for the over
throw Of the common enemy--the PEG.
pies party.
Mr.. Crouch spoke from a partisan
standpoint He strikes out from the

cal flourish. He was frequently ap-
plauded.

its truthfulness. Remember the slaughter
of Charley Luling. Remember the
double-dealing of that sheriff outfit all
around. Remember the newspaper
manipulation, and how in the face of
broken promises and all the ingratitude
of the author of the Rufus Mosbacher
denial was guilty of, and how he played
Labor Unionite, Alliance and the Demo-
crat, and how he tried to carry all three
parties on his shoulders at once, and how
he fell down, and then determine how
much such trickster's denial is worth.

a CORRECTION.

The tale started on Charley Schaeffer
that he had withdrawn from Stephenson
Post No. 245, q. \. r. because of its de-
nunciation Of Cleveland for returning
the rebel flags, of which the EAGLE made
mention, seems to be fake. Post Com
mander BARLEY and four or five others
of that Post certify over their own names
that it is not true. The EAGLE will not
knowingly publish statements which are
untrue of any mans character for polit-
ical or other reasons, and the correction
is gladly made. No doubt Schaeffer is a
good Democrat who has his face set to-
wards Topolobampo, but the EAGLE
would not malign his character to beat
him, even if the fight was really between
the Republicans and Democrats, which
is now so evident II Is not.

Every clerk in town, if he has his
own interest at heart will vote the Re
publican ticket. The Alliance, if it
should get its monopolistic cooperative
store under way, could cripple every
mercant in town. The merchant would
have to discharge his clerks. What
would become of them? What would
they do? Every clerk who has not only
his own interests at heart. but also the
interests of his employer will vote the
Republican ticket.
