FARMERS IN OFFICE.

1t is conceded that Rufe Cone is one of
the slickest demagogues in Sedgwick
county. Through his INSCRIPTIONS
demagogy he succeeded in insinuating
himself into the best paying Office in the
county, if not in the state. And having
succeeded so well in plying the deceptive
art in the city, he has work it sys-
tematically in the country, by putting a
portion of the profits of his Office in farm
lands in the country that from time to
time he has been able to pick up at a
sacrifice to some unfortunate who was
compelled to let go his holding. The
scheme failed to secure him the nomi-
nation for sheriff from the Alliance,
which organization he Joined for that
express purpose; but he is still working
it industriously to help pull his running
mate, Mosbacher, through. Rufus is all
the time talking about his farming opera
tions after he goes out of office, but has
not decided upon which one of his
acquired farms he will reside.
The truth is, he has no idea of residing
anywhere outside Of the city; he calcu-
lates upon continuing his residence in
the building furnished by the county
without expense to the occupant. But
if these calculations fail, as they should
and will, he will still remain in the city;
his Landed interest in the country are
sufficient to occupy his time, in part at
least, looking after his tenants and col
lecting rentals.
1t is altogether a mistake to suppose
that Rufe Cone viii put his soft hand to
the pillow handle; he knows too well how
to work other peopIe,to need to put forth
any physical efforts himself. He will
make typical agricultusist but as for
farming, he will not be in it.
The farmers of the county have the
opportunity of putting in one of their
number, and a man who has honored
the profession by making a success of it
personally, that being his life work, by
aiding in the election of Ike Ault, sheriff.

New Lunar Crater.

A careful examination Of a photo
graphic negative of the moon recently
obtained by means of the Lick tele-
scope revealed the picture OF a most
important lunar crater whose existence
had never been suspected previously.
The explanation lies in the fact that the
human eye is not so constituted that
steady gazing viii bring out the minuter
details of the object looked at; on the
contrary, the eye grows tired and details
are lost. Not so the Photographic plate,
however; the effect of a constant pour
ing in of rays of light into the camera
has a cumulative effect.
The longer the exposure under suitable
circumstances, the greater the display
of detail in the result. So in this case.

THE SOUTH FOR WAR.

The Valparaiso outrage seems to have
stirred the southern blood up to the
fighting point The New Orleans Times

the incident and the present status of
affairs between that country and this

ton:

community for which it speaks, and no
doubt correctly as to sentiment, that its

whether this is true or not, the country
notes the declarations quoted with no
small degree of satisfaction.

is simply awful.
The same thing will be tried again be-
tween now and next Tuesday by the
same outfit. They have been trying, it
is said-and who doubts it
to buy off Slower, the Alliance candidate
for sheriff, and night before last they
were in caucuss endeavOring to perfect
a scheme and provide the money and
means to get H Winslow Abbott, the
Alliance candidate for commissioner,
off of the track for the purpose of beat
ing johnny Allen. As for Abbott he came
TO this country dyed-in-the-wool Ken
lucky Democrat. And that is what he
is at heart yet. He couldn't conscious
tiously be anything else. But he is ambi-
tious, loves the public eye and delights
in notority and so becomes readily the
plant instrument of the Alliance who
nominated him because the Alliance
leaders were assured that Abbott could
swing the labor-union vote. Abbotts
tongue it is that is calloused with TOLL
his hands are as soft as a woman's. The
little ring will probably raise the wind,
and they may get Abbott off, and they
may transfer his $50 or 200 votes, but
think of the state of affairs that makes
such rottenness possible-that deliber-
ately goes about on the eve of an election
to set aside the action of representative
convention, and all, in the interest of a
few INSCRIPTIONS individuals.

The crime epidemic(0 that prevailed
to almost an alarming extent few
weeks ago seems to have subsided to the
extent of causing general remark. This
is accounted for by certain school of
theorists upon the idea that public inter
est has been diverted by political affairs,
anent the approaching election. There
is probably something in this. The in
creasing interest in politics, local and
otherwise, affords the newspapers some
thing else to talk about besides crimes
and misdemeanors. And, then, every
body being more or less interested in the
pending campaigns and their outcome,
there is naturally less inclination and less
time for other considerations that lead to
malefecense. Taking this view of the
case, it would seem to be a good thing,
in the interest of peace and good order,
to have perpetual political campaign;
that is to say, have our system OF Popu-
lar elections SO changed as TO have the
election of some officer or officers pend
ing all the while

WHY SLOWER Is A FARMER.

The Alliance are making the boast, in
their campaign in the country, that their
ticket is made up largely of farmers,
men who live in the country. They lay
special stress upon this in the sheriffalty
contest. 1t is true that Slower lives in
the country, but how long has he lived
there, and why did he go to the country
from the city? Nobody questions his
right to reside wherever he chooses, and
nobody blames him from going to the
country: but if he had made a success of
merchandising or had succeeded in his
aspirations as ward politician in the
city, who suppoSes for a moment that he
would have quit either and removed to
farm in the country?

INFAMOUS TRADING.

1t is the strangest thing in the world
that in community of the high stand
ard of general intelligence, found in this
city and among the farmers of Sedg-
wick county, that a little insignificant
crowd of petty politicians, who live
largely from the crumbs and "divvies" of
men they help into office, should have it
in their power 10 make trades on the eve
of elections and then persuade and force
a great body of self-respeting men in
their party 10 fall into and endorse by
their vote such disreputable political
transactions. Every body knows
that a day or two prior TO
the election last fall trade was most
openly made by dozen party strikers
and political leeches, which trade was
readily acceded to and endorsed by a
large body of men who claim both intel
hgenoe and independence Take the
trade whereby Charles Luling was
beaten for clerk of the district court.

ALLIANCE OR REPUBLICAN.
Every Level Headed Man Seriously
Confronted.

The different central committeeman,
as also many others conversant with the
ms and the outs of the Campaign in
Sedgwick county have, been convinced
for several days past that the fight next
Tuesday will be between the calamityites
and the Republicans. The Democratic
managers and candidates hoped that
this was not so. and have done all they
could to make it appear otherwise, but
the truth can no longer be hidden and
the campaign is assuming an entirely
different aspect. 1t transpires that out
side of the city the Democrats are In
hopeless minority. In some townships
there is not left a cOrporaFs guard OF
Democrats. The losses sustained by the
Alliance are old Republicans whom they
couldn't longer hold. Its the average
Democrat who joined the Alliance more
than anything else to beat the Republican
party, who sticks to the Alliance. No
trading or selling, no buying off or
scheming can maintain Moore or Mos
bacher or Schaefer as principal candl-
dates. Those who would have a voice
or any chance in the choice of the party
which will win next Tuesday must vote
either the Republican or Alliance ticket
The register of deeds will be either
Barrett or Camp, the sheriff will be
Isaac T. Ault or Joe Slower and the
Judge will be either Reed or Babb.
For the sake of the present credit and
the future prosperity of the city and
county it would have been better had
the contest narrowed down between the
two old parties. The Democrats are
clannish and tricky and all that, but
they know too well which side of
their broad is buttered to risk any anar-
chistic schemes or land-loan or sub
treasury robberies. In the official re-
ports Sedgwick county stands as the
wealthiest county in the stale of Kan
sas and Wichita the most prosperous
business city, but should the Allsance
come into power with an Alliance judge
it would be calamity sure enough for
the credit of Sedgwick county and the
business of Wichita.
Politics is polite, but so, also, business
is business.
With our credit destroyed and bust
ness crippled political differences would
shrink into insignifcance. 1t is true
that the Democratic managers are claim
ing for their candidates the solid Demo
cratic vote of the city, but if that were
conceded, which it is not, their utter
failure to make that party felt in the
country leaves them in the minority.
There are proportionately more calamity
voters in the city than Democratic votes
IN the country. No one can deny that.
Party affiliations and party pride aside
and there seems but one sensible course
for the business interests of this city, but
one single course for every farmer, be he
Republican, Democrat or Prohibitionist.
whose head has proved too level for the
wild vagaries and dangerous doctrines
of the secret oath bound Alliance, and
that is to vote for the men on the Repub-
lican ticket, whose characters and lives
are above reproach, and not throw away
your vote on men who. even if they are
just as good individually, have no chance
of election.

The rapid adoption of the new system
by American states, the Detroit Tribune
thinks, demonstrates that TITLED a need,
and it is not likely that the new ballot
law will be repealed in any state where
it has had fair trial, though many Of
the laws will doubtless be amended in
vulnerable points. The adoption OF the
Australian ballot system. as has been done
by al political parties IN this country,
presents something of an anomaly IN
politics. Ii is simply an expressed vii
lingness to relegate the corrupt practices
that have prevailed heretofore IN holding
popular elections. In so far as 1t indi-

wHATwoULD BECOME OF WICHITA

Wichita is the best local market for
farmers in the state of Kansas, but what
will become of Wichita, of our mer-
chants and mechanics, of the business
men and the laborers who consume the
products of the farmers, if this Alliance
is triumphant. The state Alliance but
last week at Sallna, resolved to enter the
$50, 900, 900 trust gotten up in New York
City to put in cooperative stores and CO.
operative everything else, in all the prin-
cipal towns of Kansas. As the fight in
this county is between this Alliance and
the Republican party, as every business
man Of sense must see, there ought to
be no hesitancy as to what course should
be pursued next Tuesday. There is but
one thing to do and that is to cast your
vote where it will most effectually
squelch this gigantic trust and class
combine which depends for success on
the victory of the Alliance this fall in
Kansas, and in the event of which sue
cess every merchant in Wichita would
suffer, every interest languish and every
laborer and mechanic be robbed of a
chance for livelihood.
The EAGLE is not, nor never has been,
an alarmist, is not fanatical nor given to
extremes, but it asks the business men
of this city to look this whole thing,
Invested of all party prejudice, squarely
in the face and then act their best judg-
