DANGEROUS TEACHING.

Friday there was a legal murder in
Omaha The evening of the same day
witnessed a horrible lynching in the same
city. No doubt that both the executed
men were guilty of awful crimes. The
first had fair trial but his execution
made Omaha so bloodthirsty that it could
not wait for the trial of the other. There
is only one item in favor of the lynching:
The difference between the damage to the
Jail and the cost of trial was the amount
OF expense saved in his case.-Arkansas
City Dispatch (Alliance).
There is a something of truth in part
of the foregoing, but it is so ingeniously
interviewer with false principles that it
becomes at once exceedingly dangerous
matter to promulgate and allow to go
unchallenged or at least call attention to
its hurtful features. The first execution
was not illegal murder" if the victim
had fair and impartial trial and was
convicted of the crime Of which he stood
charged, and to so declare, in immediate
connection with an open and unqualified
endorsement of the lynching Of the sec
ond victim, is to inculcate disrespect, not
to say disregard, for law. If that idea
should prevail organized government
would disappear and in its stead anarchy
and reign of terror would ensue. 1t
can not be denied that the general ten
dency of the teachings of the new polit-
ical system-if it may be so denominat-
ed-of which the Dispatch is an expon-
ent, is decidedly in that direction, and
on that account, if no other, ought to be
condemned by all who can lay aside
prejudice and act upon unbiased judg-
ment

Ella Wheeler Wilcox in an article in
the Woman's Journal declares that the
trouble with the American man is that
he longs for the physical rather for the
spiritual love of a woman. If any writer
in America, male or female, has done
more to encourage downright rivalry in
dreams of the physical beauty of women
an Ella we fail to recall his OF her
name. The reading of some of her earlier
poems would fire the imagination of
an Octogenarian.

The Synod Of Kansas.

From the Kansas City Gazette
The popular meetings connected with
the session of the synod of Kansas. one
Saturday night in behalf Of home mis-
sions, aud the other Sunday night for
foreign missions, held IN the First Pres
bvterian church. Kansas City, Kan, were
wonderfully inspiring Two statements
were made of unusual local interest.
Secretary Mcmillan, Of the board of
home missions, said that frequent COM
plants were made that the board was
unduly partial to Kansas, and while the
board resented the charge Of favOriteism,
the secretary explained that the board

made for the money expended IN Kansas

1t is now discovered that Shakespeare

his progeny lacked perpetuation. But

ly on the head when he said:
Neither borrower nor lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandrY."

A "Fair" Criticism.

From the Greeley County Republican.
The fair at Wichita last week was one
of the best ever held there, especially on
the race track. In the exhibition of
farm products the State fair was far sup
erior especially in the arrangement Of
exhibits But in melons and corn the
Wichita exhibit could hardly be exceIled
and was exceptionally fine. On Friday
the EAGLE estimated that 30, 600 were in
attendance. The fair management
should spend some of their receipts in
fixing up the grounds ana buildings
which look very cheap for a place like
Wichita, the leading city of the state.

1t begins to look like the persecution
of Prof. Briggs on account of his alleged
heterodoxy touching certain doctrinal
questions, is likely to make something
of a hero of him. Liberty of conscience
is the chief of the fundamental princi-
pies of our economic system and the peo-
pie regard with a jealous eye any en-
croachments upon it from any quarter
or on any account when the exercise of
such inherent right does not encroach
upon the rights of others or jeopardize
the welfare of the community.

At meeting of newspaper men at

crowd laughed. Laugh, We FOOLS" he
continued. 81 receive my information

cable; the whole world is a conductor

bandit; Boulanger, braggart; Parnell,

Parnells demise came. If there Is really
anything in Trains pschyo-hypnotic con-

a long suffering public if he will notify
Central to switch him onto Tascott, the
Bender family and Charles Ross. There
is no excuse for Train being niggardly
with his talent.
