ANOTHER UToPIAN SCHEME.

Senator Teller. at the request of the
Anglo-African association of Washing
ton. presented a memorial from that
association, or at least purporting to be,
asking the government to pay to certain
agents to be named hereafter, $50, 600, 900
TO secure land in Lower California for
the permanent settlement of colored
persons Of the United States who wish to
settle colony there, the money to be
returned to the government with inter
est in forty years.

SALTWATER, Ok, Jan. 10, 81.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Our public schools opened this week
with Prof Brown principal, Prof. ALE
man, intermediate, and Miss Matte
Guthrey primary. The attendance Is
satisfactory. Public schools began over
the entire county Monday last.
Rev. Foster, our county superinten-
dent, has been the busiest man in town
the past few days, getting the schools
and schoo boards over the county in
running order. He is an able officer.
The candidates for recorder of deeds
upon the various tickets are somewhat
at loss as to their exact position since
the loss of the original bill creating that
Office has been discovered While Payne
county has not much to complain of at
the hands of the late legislature, some of
its blunders are great and far-reaching
in their effects.
The Indian excitement has reached
Saltwater A company of volunteers
was organized here last week under COM
mand of Capt. j. J. Shaffer. They are to
be ready to march at a moments notice.
1t is thought that when the hostile Sioux
learns this, they will bury the Ratchet
and at once "smoke the pipe of peace. 5"
Our county commissioners have or
dered an election on Feb. 3, next. to de
eide whether the county will vote Sl0,-
600 in bonds to secure the Agricultural
college to be located in Payne county
under an act of the last legislature, upon
condition that the county give $4,000 in
bonds and eighty acres of land. Such
an institution will be a big thing for the
county, as the United States government
will appropriate S25, 0G0 per year for its
use. There can be only one voice upon
the matter among our people, and the
proposition to vote the bonds will no
doubt carry almost unanimously.

IT WAS NO JOKE.

The esteemed Arkansas City Dispatch
says that the editor of the EAGLE is a
fine humorist and cites in proof our edit
orial of Wednesday which set out Sena-
tor Ingalls, loyalty to the interests of his
party and state. The truth is, we dealt
in facts. Ingalls,, with all his talent and
industry, is idiosyncratical, and with all
his elfrontery is peculiarly sensitive and
modest. In other words, he entertains
very exalted notions of the dignity at
tachinG to the position of United States
senator, and cannot be made to consent
to the suggestion that il is all right for a
senator to self-seek or to employ the
methods Of the average politician at the
polls in seeking TO secure an en-
dorsement at the hands of the
representatives of a state assem-
bled in the capacity of legislation. Thus
dispising the ordinary way of doing
these things he would not permit a
compilation of his services, his acts,
votes and speeches for the past eighteen
wears to be made up from the congress
sional records. That it has been a
brilliant and consistent one it is impossi-
BILE to deny; and that in the directions
indicated by the EAGLE that it is a strong
one and is problematical TO the editors,
politicians and people who are really
ignorant. When the matter of such
compilation was suggested to him his
reply was in effect that if he had been at
work for eighteen years, constantly and
necessarily, and in all that time those
for whom he had worked had remained
uninformed of his views and unac-
quainted with what he had accomplish
ed. he would not by adopting any of the
methods of the demagogue attempt such
enliChtment.

KANSAS AND WICHITA.

The railway commissioners, In their
eight annual report, make an unanswer-
able. argument in defense OF their
Wichita decision which they very
properly state was case which might
have been truthfully entitled kansas
CITY VS.. Kansas" The case grew out of
a fight, long fight, made by the EAGLE
against the arbitrarily making of the Mis-
souri, river a basing or re-rating line in
the interest solely of Kansas City, and
which made it impossible to do any
great jobbing trade in the interior of
Kansas for the simple reason that all
interior freight of whatever unit or
however great the tonnage, was saddled
with an additional locai-rate, so-calied.
The papers of Atchison, Leavenworth,
Topeka, Fl Scott and other points re-
sisted the claims made by the EAGLE for
Wichita, but as soon as we got favor
able decision from the board, Topeka,
TT. Scott and other points
applied for a like ruling.
The Wichita Board of Trade
formally assumed the EAGLES fight
and went before the board and won. The
board in referring to this matter in their
report quotes the admission of the head
of the Kansas City Transportation
bureau, that on the live stock rates
everything had been done "for Kansas
City as against Wichita" The railway
commissioners now cheerfully present
and earnestly commend the text and
prospect OF the Wichita decision to the
careful consideration of every true Kan
san.
The truth is the bigger towns of Kan
sas, all of them, owe much to the enter
prise of Wichita, to her example and
spirit. And while they will not acknowl-
edge it, they would do well to adopt the
views of Wichita in some other direc-
tons which would result in placing Kan
sas on an equal footing with other west
ern states in the race for greatness and
for continued prosperity.

THE BURDEN OF THE FARMER.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
All the financial measures congress
can adopt. including the free coinage OF
silver and the unlimited issue of green
backs and scrip by the government,
though joint measures for the good Of
America-they wilt not relieve the
burden placed on the farmer. You
might buy all the gold and silver in the
world 1T can avail him nothing, he can
not have it for asking, he must grow
something to give in exchange for 1t,
which the unjust tariff bill now prevents
him from doing as long as cotton, silk,
hides, sheep and goat skins are on the
free list. and wool, flax and hemp nearly
so. which the farmer can and should
grow and which we import 500, 100000
worth and another 500, 100000 worth
made up into imported manufactured
goods: lust so long will this state of
things exist. If YOU give TO the manu-
facturers an increased compensation for
his labor you wont give it to the farmer,
for his products or dispense with 1t al
together; it is unjust ask him TO help
support the manufacturer and
then compel HIM to compete with the
cheapest labor in the world. Remove the
irregularities in the tariff and the Amer
