GOING, GOING. GONE.

Ex-President McGrath of the Kansas
Alliance says that the books of the state
headquarters show that of member
ship last fall of 40, 900 in good standing
there are now less than 10000. This is
a falling off of more than one-half.
Forty per cent of that 10000 were
women and minors who could not vote,
and probably the same proportion of
women and minors have been dropped.
McGrath assigns as the principal cause
for this immense falling off the disgust
of the better class of farmers over the
influences which controlled the Alliance.
especially such as the old labor union
leaders and others of socialiStic and semi
anarchistic tendencies, a class that old
times self respecting Republicans could
in no way brook or bear. This is loss
of 1000 men, women and children per
month to the order, and leaves less than
$4,000 actual voters.
We are willing that McGrath may
hold to the reasons assigned, but we
think that there is a stronger reason, and
that is, the thinking members could not
and would not swallow the sub-treasury
and land loan folly with their sure de-
struction of values and credits, and
which would be logically followed by
financial disaster to the whole country.

WHEAT IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

After all the talk to the contrary there
has been an immense breadth of wheat
sown in Southwest Kansas, probably on
the whole a greater acreage than was
ever sown before. Some of the older
counties like Sumner, Sedgwick, Cowley
and Butler may not have so much above
an average acreage, but the newer coun-
ties undoubtedly have. And, unques-
tionably, the wheat in this section of the
state is in finer or more promising con-
dition than in either the northern or
eastern sections of the state where the
fall rains were more tardy. The warm
days following the late rains in this sec
ton have caused wheat to spring up as
if by magic. Without doubt Southwest
Kansas is the greatest fall wheat coun-
try on the globe.

According to what Mr.. Eugene Fair
child of Manhattan, Kan, told Kansas
City Times reporter the other day rain
making will soon become an established
industry in this country, and the Times
asks the question what is to be done
with the surplus water? From socio-
political standpoint the question of the
Times is natural enough; but from the
standpoint of physical conditions and
necessities as to transportation facilities,
taking the Times own admissions and
declarations for true, the question sounds
very odd, don't you think?

VOTE THE ENTIRE TICKET.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
While believing that political indie
pendence which tends to root out cor
ruption, injustice or incompetency is
preferable to blind partisan fidelity such
as would bind men to vote for the devil
if regularly nominated" and having no
respect for such partisan patriotism as
is akin to bigoted dogmatism, l believe
that proper regard for the best interests
of Wichita, Sedgwick county, and Kan
sas requires all Republicans with indie
pendent proclivities to vote the Repub-
lican ticket this year in its entirety; and
this implies no endorsement of the Nc
Kinley tariff or prohibition; and there
are no ''devils" on the Republican ticket
all the nominees If elected will fill
their respective offices with credit and
honor.
The success of the Republican ticket,
this year, in Kansas will remove the
hurtful and erroneous impressions pre-
vailing abroad in consequence of the
advocacy of the nonsensical absurdities
put forward by the Alliance.

Ault and Slower are both Sedgwick
county farmers but there is this differ
ence between them. Aults election
means Republican victory, not a VIC
tory of county importance or state, but
of a national. Stover's election means a
calamity victory; a publication of fall
sification and false avowal of our own
unworth Ault's election will add to
the general tone of prosperity in Kan
sas, which must be first here before it
will secure the attention of those abroad.
Stovers election is only another step
nearer the vortex of disaster that will
overwhelm a community when conf
dence in it is destroyed and its credit
ruined

The Kansas leaders of the Alliance are
in an awful row among themselves. Nc
Grath says, in effect, that the Alliance
as a body is honest but that number of
their leaders are mere sccialistic adven-
turers, jack-leg lawyers and political
skunks who are working the Alliance
for all there is in it. McGrath says that
the Alliance should not act as political
party, as no party can sustain itself on a
class theory.

What the Democratic party of Kansas
really needs is to have the breath of life
blown into its nostrils, and then TO have
an end worth living for set before it
Atchison Champion.
You are wrong. What it needs is to
be chucked into deep hole and the hole
drawn in after it. This is demanded not
only for the sake of decency, but for the
sake of the health of the body polite.
The purifying organism, by its con-
tinued presence, is poisoning the whole
atmosphere with its nauseating emana-
tions. Bury it out of sight once and for
all time; it is beyond resuscitation and
restoration to health and usefulness.

The President Endorsed.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The attitude of President Harrison
concerning the CHILEAN outrage will
command the hearty sympathy of all
right minded citizens. The president has
resolved TO demand complete and prompt
reparation for the outrage. and the arrest
and punishment of the persons who were
guilty of IT. The carefully gathered evil
dence shows that the cOwardly on
slaught, in the streets of Valparaiso,
which resulted in the death of Boat
swain's Mate Regain and the dangerous
wounding Of other men Of the Baltimore,
was not merely an assault directed
against the men as individuals. IL was
an act Of malice against the United
States. and as such it should be re-
dressed, by peaceful means, If possible;
by force, II necessary.

LET THE GERMANS REMEMBER.

The Germans of this city and county
should not forget how Charley Luling
was slaughtered the last time, outrage
ously slaughtered, by the Cone-Ayers
combination and trade, made by the
same crowd that is engineering Mosbach-
er today, and made to beat Charley Lu-
ling. 1t was the most barefaced piece of
political skullduggery aud high-handed
impudence ever practiced by men claim
ing any party decency, an open trade on
the eve of election made by Cone and
the same fellows who brought out
and are supporting Charley Mosbacher
now. Charley Mosbacher is a good
fellow, popular with the boys and all
that, but remember so was Charley
Luling one of the most accomplished
and best and most competent district
clerks that ever served in the state, and
remember the crowd that laid him out,
and remember their contemplate under.
hand mode of doing il. The very same
identical fellows who thus laid out
Charley Lnling are to reap all the re-
ward and emoluments Of the sheriffs
office if Charley Mosbacher IS elected.

An Apt Comparison

From the Salina Republican
Dlr. Buttons comparison between
Diamond Dick and Simpson and PETER
WAS very apt. PETER is a Diamond Dick
By force of circumstances. while Simp-
son is by choice. PETER wants TO heal
the people and probably has faith in his
Diamond Dick remedies, while Simpson
does not care for the healing so much as
the profits he gets out of his medicine.
PETER is fraud but has not intellect
enough to know it while Simpson is a
fraud because il is profitable.

There seems to be strong intimation
that the CHILEAN government will not
heed the demand of the United States
for reparation for the insult and damage
done it and its representatives in the
Valparaiso outrage, but will let the mat
ter go by default as far as Chill is con-
cerned. If that should be the case the
Chilians viii rely upon the circumstance
of the great disparity in the size and
strength of the two countries and gov
ernments to keep this government from
assaulting that with arms to enforce it's
demands. In matters of this sort. how
ever. the size of the offender cuts no
figure. 4 country that is big enough and
strong enough to maintain a form of
government of its own and independent
of all others is big enough to be held to
account for any breach of the peace of
nations it NAV cause. Chilli will have to
settle, peaceably if she will, but by force
if necessary.

Tho ONLY Thing Tbat Saved Us.

The Only Thing That saved Us
From the Topeka Capital
1t is only through the special favor OF
a benign Providence, giving us $1,000
600 bushels of wheat, that the credit of
the state has not been utterly ruined by
Senator PETER. That the world still has
faith in Kansas is shown in the fact that
one loan agent. known to the Capital,
placed 81, 800 on a quarter section and
s.. 900 on 240 acres with eastern inves-
tors last week. A crop failure this year
added to PETERS lament in the east
would have killed Kansas as dead as a
smelt.
