SENATOR pLuMB,s SPEECH.

In this issue of the EAGLE we present
our readers that portion of Senator
Plumb's great speech, delivered in this
city on the 9th inst, pertaining specially
to the Peoples party. The entire speech
was reported for the EAGLE, but its great
length precluded its publication at the
time, and SO we had to content ourselves
with only general though brief synop-
sis of the speech. The portion of the
speech herewith presented is given in
answer to requests from large number
Of citizens who were unable to hear the
senator, and it will be read with interest
by all, including those who were for
tunate enough to hear it delivered in Mr..
Plumb's forceful and inimitable style.
As Josh Billings would remark, it makes
mighty interestin' readin'.

1t was hoped that the New Orleans
massacre of supposed members of the
secret Italian society known as the Malta
nearly a year ago would have the effect
to check their overt acts of criminality if
it did not cause the disbanding of the or
ganization, but it seems that it is as well
organized and determined in it's purposes
as ever. If there is any way by which
the members of the organization can be
made known they should be at once taken
and bandished from the country. 1t is a
species of Anarchism as hellish and dan
gerous to society as the Chicago contin-
gent that perpetrated the Haymarket
outrage The presence of such people is
a constant menace to the peace and wei
fare of any and every community where
they may be found.

The Wichita EAGLE says but little
wheat is being sown in the fall wheat
states. If this be true it is hard to under
stand. Usually after a good crop. the
sowing is largely increased
Times.
What the EAGLE said was true at the
time it said it. At that time there had
been no rain for weeks in some sections
and in Others too much rain or other
hindrances to fall blowing preparatory
to seeding. Conditions have changed
since that time, however, and the work
of seeding has progressed very rapidly.
This is especially true of this state, one
of The largest producers of fall wheat.
In addition to weather interference with
fall sowing, the impression obtained
quite extensively fortnight or so ago
that there was some sort of an under
taking among the wheat growers in the
fall wheat states not to put as large an
acreage to that cereal this fall as they
did last, but the activity manifested in
preparing for and seeding since the late
rains seems to refute that idea, which
was very short-sighted and foolish one
if it was really entertained.

At ? o'clock today the Morgan monu-
ment al Winfield will be unveiled. The
monument was erected and paid for. at
a costof $615, by the citizens Of Winfield.
to commemorate the heroic act of the
boy, Jimmie Morgan. who lost his life in
the attempt to rescue acomrade, younger
and smaller than himself, from drown
ing in the Walnut river near Winfield
several months ago. The subscription
movement was put on foot by the Win
field Daily Courier and through its efforts
mainly, it was carried through TO com
pletion. The monument will stand as a
token of appreciation of self-sacrihcing
heroism on the part of the brave boy,
and also in honor Of the generous people

The shortest will on record was recent

The shortest will on record was recent
ly admitted to probate in New York. 1t
read: Emily R. Mines is my heir. Sarah
K. Mines" There were several other
heirs. and the estate was large one, but
the will was not disputed. This case
presents almost remarkable contrast
with the general run Of such documents.
In these days of legal contests over es-
tates devised by will it seems next to i'm
possible to draft a testament that will
stand the test of legal and technical scru
tiny. This was forcefuliy demonstrated
in the case of the late Samuel J. Tilden
of New York. He stood at the very
head of the legal profession, and having
drafted his own will it was pronounced
unassailable; but he was hardly cold in
his grave before the will was attacked
and the disposition of his estate as devils
ed by himself has been altogether
changed. Evidently the shortest way
is the best.

In the Forum for November Edward
4. Freeman, the English historian, the
highest living authority perhaps on the
subject, explains the political situation
in Europe, pointing out the specific dan
gers TO peace. Another remarkable ar
ticle will appear IN the same number on
the armies and politics of Europe, from
an American point of view, by Mr. Will
lam r. Thayer, who records the results
of studies recently male in Europe of
the political and military situation.
These two articles together make a COM
pleie review of the present European
situation. and give a clear understand
ing of the status of each Of the great

Ed Howe of Atchison tells in his quaint
style how the Kansas and the Missouri
man hunts ducks: "When Missourian
goes duck hunting he goes out into the
yonkapins IN boat. doubles himself up
and patiently waits. With two cart
ridges he will sometimes get a half dozen

away at everything, and waste all his
cartridges before the shooting really be-
gins. Last night MiSSourian killed four
mallards with one shot, and we heard
him growing because he did not get the
fifth one IN the flock. A Missourian does
not care so much for sport, but be is
hungry for ducks.

The census bulletin giving the sum-
mary of statistics on education has been
published. 1t fully substantiates all that
has been claimed for Kansas as the lead
ing state in the matter of public instruc-
ton. The bulletin places Kansas at the
head of the list of states in the record of
attendance of children upon the school
sessions, being 260 per thousand of pop
ulation. Next to Kansas is Mississippi
with 272. Connecticut is credited with
40, and Massachusetts, with 161, which
figures contrast rather strangely with
several of the southern states, nine of
which are quoted higher than either of
the six New England states. This ap-
parent discrepancy may be accounted
for, though, by the fact that the educa-
tional interests in the eastern states are
more largely in the hands of private and
chartered institutions that receive no
support from the public school system.
Louisiana brings up the rear of the
column. having but III pupils entered
for schooling to each thousand popula-
ton.

DO NOT TRADE.

Under the above heading local paper
issued in Wichita, Friday afternoon pub
lished what it evidently meant to be a
sensational statement, to the effect that
the Republican county central commit
tee is sending out secret instructions all
over the county for the party to trade
everything to save Judge Reed. And in
order to give the statement credit the
paper referred to published what pur-
ported to be resolution adopted by the
Democratic central committee, warning
that party against the Republican
scheme and not to enter into it. 1t is
hardly necessary to tell Republicans that
the whole thing is a fabrication of dis
eased mind; that there is nothing In
it. All there is to it is that it
is weak, sickly attempt to
retaliate for the expose the EAGLE made
of the labored efforts of the coterie of
Democratic bosses of the city to effect
combine with the Alliance on county
ticket, to be adopted by the county con-
ventions of the two parties. The expose
of that attempted dicker prevented its
consummation, and ever since then the
newspaper referred to (Which was to be
the chief beneficiary in pecuniary way
from the coalition) has been struggling to
make it appear that the Republicans are
trying to do the same thing.
No better evidence could be produced
to prove that the Democratic leaders re-
alize that their party's candidates are not
in the race, and that the only hope is to
get up some sort of diversion from the
winning ticket, hence the continuous,
persistent attacks upon the Republican
candidates, severally and collectively,
and upon the party's leaders.
