mR. BLA1Nrs REPLY TO RuD1N1.

Philadelphia Times: From the Ameri-
can point of view, Dir. Blaines position
appears impregnsble.
Philadelphia Inquirer: 1t not only
! shows Blaine to be an adept IN the art OF
diplomacy, but places Rudini IN q decid-
edly unenviable light.
New York Tribune: A most effective
point is made when he suggests that the
Italian victims of the mob may nave
come here in violation of our immigra-
ton laws-a phase of the subject that
demands careful investigation.
New York Press: The dignifed tone OF
the secretary's reply is in pointed con
trast to the clustering manner adopted
by Italy. The document cannot fail to
make a profound impression in Europe.
1t will show other nations how utterly
baseless and silly have been the puerile
semi-threate Jennings of Italy.
Philadelphia Press: Secretary Blaine
would have been amply justified in re-
torting with equal brevity and decision
that American courts neither delayed
the administration of justice under local
prejudice. nor fastened 1t under
foreign pressure. But great country
can afford to be magnanimous, and
minister, directing the foreign policy of
a land of 63, 900, which desires war
with none, and with which no country
desires a contest, need not sink TO the
hasty level of the perplexed premier OF
country of half the population and a
twentieth the resources OF the United
States.
New York Times: For Americans and
for such foreigners as understand our
institutions, Secretary Blaine's latest
letter to the Marquis Imperiali throws no
new light on the diplomatic aspects of
the New Orleans massacre. To the Mar
quis di Rudini, however, the letter will
be full Of needed instructions; and candor
compells us to confess that the Italian
minister's want of familiarity with our
federal system and the respective pow
ers of the government and of the states
is both natural and excusable. More
than this, the Marquis di Rudini is, if
not novice in foreign relations, at least
not an experienced diplomat.

MEDICINE LODGE. Kan. April

MEDICINE LODGE, Kan, April 10.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
l see in the EAGLE of the 18th, that
the trees were putting on their spring
dress in your city. Down here there are
"little robbies," "little colts" ''little
mules" ''lttle calves" ''little pigs"
"little chickens" ''little ducks, "little
prairie dogs" ''little wheat" ''little
corn" ''little oats" and little of every
thing and the glorious rain we had today
will make everything big. These little
calves and little pigs will soon be big
and will be fattened on this little big
corn and 90 to Wichita to be
sold by Eldrldge & Campbell,
who we have discovered are the best
statesmen in the west, not excepting any
at Kansas City, and they are honest.
straight and responsible and a pleasure to
do business with.
All is booming here. Uncle Sam is
pushing things at the government station,
blowing eighteen inches deep, subsoiling
way down in the bowels of the earth.
Our wheat is just glorious, oats lovely,
corn up, cane for the sugar factory be-
ing planted. cattle on prairie grass are
chuck full, and so are our trees full of
fruit, and such a prospect never was
known in any country. Old Kansas is
mad: all joked at her by calling her
names, but she looks too lovely now to
be insulted that way any more, and this
fall, with her crops, she will make the
world stop and stare and look this way,
and they will come this way and buy her
lovely homes. Yours, truly,
ELI BENEDICT.

invitation Of the Third Georgia regi-
ment, which it was their luck to meet in
deadly conflict on several occasions dur
ing the late unpleasantness. None of the
Zouaves had ever been to Georgia and
they were unacquainted, personally with
their hosts-to- be, but when the train
pulled up at the station where they were
to be received the old Third that was in
waiting gave rousing shout of well
come, when half dozen Zouaves in the
cars sang out: This is the place, hear
that familiar sound, that same old rebel
yell. f" And jolly good time they had.

The Massachusetts, legislature last week
defeated bill, known as the medical
registration bill, the purpose of which
was to bar from active practice all physi-
clans who are not regular registered
graduates of a certain school or system
of medicine. 1t is not probable that the
bill would have passed without, but the
the Boston Globe aided in insuring its
defeat by its vigorous attacks upon it,
denouncing it as class legislation and in
line with the principle of the trusts and
combines that burden the people in
almost every department of life.

Senator Palmer says that he is afraid
70 visit Chicago again lest he NAV fall

attention from the effect of his partici-
patton in the late municipal contest in
that city,. but it will not avail him.
There is little doubt that his interference
in Cregier's behalf contributed largely to
his defeat. The sentiment of this coun-

1t is said that Chauncey Depew has,
recently, refused an offer of 800, 600 a
year for five years to take editorial
charge of certain New York newspa-
per, and some people seem to think it
strange that he should decline SO fatter-
ing an offer. With his experience in
life and general knowledge of business
and its cares and responsibilities, it
would have been strange if he had ac-
cepted the offer. His present position is
as nearly a sinecure as business posi-
ton could be; it is sure thing as long
as he wants it, and pays STA, 900.
