The Kansas City Gazette will please
understand that the EAGLE is not object
ing to the improvement of the Missouri
river, but TO the useless and foolish
squandering of the peoples money. It's
not the improvement that we complain
of, but the Interior schemes. If the gov
eminent viii turn over to us the money
annually asked for the improvement of
the Missouri river, we will give a good
and sufficient bond to transport all the
cargoes carried 10y Kansas City's boats
from st. Louis to Kansas City, by rail,
free of charge to the shipper, and buy
and present the steamboats, TO the gov
eminent at the end of the season. That
would satisfy the shipper, meet the de-
mands of commerce, and give the steam
boats a rest, besides leaving us sufficient
money to buy out the biggest newspaper
in Kansas City.

QUIT BOARDING MONEY.

Henry Clews, the head of the great
New York banking firm, is not afraid of
money backed by silver, and he is out in
letter which proves that the hoarders
of gold are kicking before they are
pricked. His logic is irresistible, his
facts irrefu able. Among other things
he says that at the close Of the war the
United States governments obligations
in bonds alone amounted to about 81, $780,
600. 900, since which time unprecedented
liquidation has gone on at the rate of
500, 000, 900 annually. until now that inn
mense debt has bee / cut down to $780,,
100000. This change has meaning, and
more than anything else it represents the
high credit of the government, together
with the vast resources of the nation out
Of which America has grown to be in
finitely the most wealthy of nations.
The United states government has found
it to be an easy task to pay off at least
81, 900, 900. 600 of its obligations in so
comparatively short a time and still have
left stored up in this country more gold
than all of Eur pc put together. These
United States bonds have been freely
bought, not only by our own people
but by foreigners, and even at as high
premium as 30 per cent at one time.
These bonds represent government credit
only, whereas the same government now,
under law recently passed, has under
taken to buy 4,500, 900 ounces of silver
per month and issue legal tender money
against the same, which obligation is
fully backed 5y silver, which has an in
trinsic recognized value in all the mar
kets of the world, and because it brings
$50, 900, 900 annually of good silver
money into circulation, to supply a
legitimate demand, the weak-minded
creatures above referred to have become
scared, and have put their hands upon
what gold they could get and locked it
up, whereas they didn't hesitate to put
their means into government bonds at 30
per cent premium that had no silver
backing, nor gold either, but simply
signed paper promise of the government
to pay Mt a specified time both principal
and interest. The boarding of gold has
largely come from the holders the Al per
cent bonds which mature next Septem-
Der. Under the secretary's liberal offer
to redeem the same, both principal and
interest, they have obtained payment
therefor and locked it up simply because
the government has issued money back
ed by a corresponding amount of silver,
and they profess to be scared about the
government credit in connection there

We see it announced from Washington
that Actor Crane has been called 10 &C
count for his representation Of Senator
Plumb. in his latest dramatic venture,
The Senator" Mr.. Plumb has been TO
see the performance. and, while allowing
that Mr.. Cranes imitation of his charac-
ter1stics is fairly faithful, it has blem-
ishes which render it unworthy of being
considered even a caTicature. The
trouble seems to be that Actor Crane
wears plug hat in the play, and Sena-
tor Plumb informs him that he never
wore a silk hat in his life, and that his
constituents out in Kansas wouldn't
know him with such headpiece. In
fact, il would seem that Mr.. Plumb's
aversion to silk hats i as pronounced as
that of Jerry Simpson to hosiery. Actor
Crane must revise his makeup or aban-
don his Plumb pretense.

4 MIGHTY INDEPENDENT MAN.

From the New York Press
There's a fine. bluff, old fashioned spir-
it of independence about Farmer John
Reardon, of Wills county, Illinois. that
commands attention. Indeed, lnde-
pendence is Farmer Reardons most prom
inent characteristic. Some OF his nelgh-
bors who entertain unfriendly feelings
toward him on account OF certain line
fences concerning whose precise location
they and he differ, have even gone SO 1ar
as to intimate that Farmer Reardon Is CD
stinate. A little incident that occurred
the other day in the outskirts of chicago
brings into especial prominence the lead
ing trait in his character. Mr.. Reardon
seldom goes to Chicago. In fact, he Is
almost a total stranger TO that big ana
wicked city and all the ways thereon.
On this occasion, however, he rose up
early in the morning and started for the
Illinois metropolis with his fat bay team,
his heavy farm wagon and a load OF
shelled corn.
When he reached Washington Heights,
well toward the middle of the day, he IN
auired of a knot of bystanders in front OF
a hotel the nearest route to the center OF
the city. One of them mischIevously
directed him to take the Rock Island
railroad. With bucolic innocence the
good man urged his team along the
track. Afar in the rear, as he numbered
placidlv along, specializing on the proba-
Bile price of shelled corn that day,
swiftly unrolling ribbon of dark smoke
marked the progress of the fast Chicago
express. But Farmer Reardon never
once looked behind him. When the
fa ann
nearly fell off his perch in aStonlshment
at the sight of the quiet figure Jogging
stoIidlv on ahead. He set the air brakes
hard, and the series of frantic shrieks
that Jumped out of the locomotive
whistle probably came as near express
ing his feelings as any SOUNDS not
articulate could do. But Farmer
Reardon, after a single unconcerned
backward glance, paid not the slightest
heed. The locomotive came slowly up
to his rear wagon wheels. But neither
this fact nor the energetic voclferatlons
Of the engineer and fireman from the cab
windows moved the farmer IN the least.
He had been told TO take the Rock Island
road into Chicago, and he proposed to do
it. Steadfastly he refused to bulge to
the right or the left. The express was
fairly conquered. Fer twenty minutes
the unique procession moved on, the
train meekly following the farm wagon
at a pace of three miles an hour. Not
until South Englewood was reached was
a policeman sighted and the pertinaciOus
granger removed from the track. The
train was half an hour late. And the
teieCraphic dispatches have spread the
fame of Farmer Reardon IN every
quarter of the United States.

and market towns of England, at hours
of the day or evening when busy people
could attend them, and thus resume the
work of education which they perhaps
had had to drop prematurely in order to
make living. These circumstances no
doubt also had something to do with
suggesting that Greek be dropped from
the course of study in these noted old
institutions. The spirit of true progress
calls for the abandonment of dead
issues, in whatever department of life,
and in none more imperatively than in
that of education.

The EAGLE mentioned, few days ago,
the recent starting of a tin-plate mill at
Chattanooga, Tenn, the first in the
United States, and two or three of its
critical exchanges have essayed TO chide
it for failing to tell its readers that the
industry down in old Tennessee is the
direct product of the Mckinley bill. OF
course the EAGLE did not so state because
the truth would not permit it. The fact
Is, the Chattanooga enterprise was in
augurated some time before anybody
knew what the new tariff bill would
contain. And, besides, the tin schedule
does not z into effect until next July.
SIX months or more after the mill in
question was put in operation: we there
fore fail to see the point our critics
would make.

UNS SATISFACTORY YEAR FOR
FARMERS.
From the Breeders Gazette.

From the Breeders Gazette.
The year 1890 will pass into the agri-
cultural history of the United States as
one of the most unsatisfactory, all things
considered, the farming community has
experienced within the memory of the
younger generation. 1t Is all well
enough to point out that the aggregate
value of the grain crop was quite as great
as in previous years, but this Is extreme
lv poor consolation for the man whose
fields failed to yield up their accustomed
harvest, leaving him the simple alterna-
tive of selling off the farm stock at ruin
Gus rates, or buying corn, oats, bran and
other foodstuffs at the extreme figures
now prevalent The amazing growth OF
farmers organizations and the power
these have shown at the polls Indicate
that there is to be a determined effort at
relieving the farmer from some of his
burdens through the medium of legisla-
ton. 1t is needless to say that IN this
struggle to secure measurable govern
mental control over various gigantic
combinations of capital whose operations
are inimical to the interests of producers
the sympathies of the Gazette are all
with the people. If ''wild cat schemes
can be kept in the background there Is
chance that much genuine good will flow
from this uprising of the farmers.
They are a patient and long-sufferlng
class, but 1.-The worm has turned"

AT the state meeting of county super
.ntendents, the chairman, state superin-
tendent Winans usurped 10 himself the
power to appoint the legislative commit
tee and here are the names: TAYLOR, Of

general laws governing the common

If the selection of the other commit
teemen named is as judicious as that of
Professor Pence, Mr.. Winans could not
have done better. The Tribune seems
10 be tailoring under misapprehension.
The members of the committee are SUI
perintendents Of the public schools for
their respective counties. and have moth
ing TO do with the schools of the cities
TO which they are credited and in which
they reside. If the appointees were con-
nected with the city schools and not the
county, there might bo some reason in
the criticism.

The resolutions of the Minnesota
Farmers Alliance read like the screed of
a new Democratic party, unbridled by
conservatism and unrestrained by tradi-
ton. The Minnesota Alliance is for free
trade, free coinage, government control
of railroads, popular elections of senators
and railroad commissioners, and the
abolition of "option gambling" on
boards of trade, and it IS against the
federal elections bills and various other
things to which Democrats are opposed.
What will the other Democratic party
do if the new one steals all its thunder?
and the offices, too, as they seem de-
termined TO do in Nebraska: Down in
southern states of course it is different;
it is all one and the same thing down
there.

The opposition of the Alliance MEM
bers of the Nebraska legislature to Boyd,
tue Democratic candidate for governor,
who received a plurality of the votes cast
in that state, seems to be based on frauds
alleged to have been practiced at the
election in the city of Omaha. There is
probably some truth in the allegation,
but that their opposition is not based
wholly upon the fraud idea is shown by
the persistence with which they are
striving to secure the Office for their can
didate who was third in the race. If
Boyd's vote should be thrown out en-
tirely it would leave Gev. Thayer a good
round majority.

THE SUMNER COUNTY SENATOR FOR
INGALLS,.

The Alliance of Sumner county recent
" adopted resolutions requesting Senator
j. w. Forney to pledge himself to do
everything in his power to defeat Sem
ator ingalls,. The senator has directed a
letter to the Alliance in which he says:
Il know that it is not much trouble To
pass resolutions condemning Senator
ingalls, in any assemblage where the ma
iority is Democratic, as l am informed
was the case in your meeting when the
resolution was adopted. 1t Is true that
Senator ingalls, has not sue eeded in get
ting every person appointed to positions

in the senate as Furnishing last to graf

loyal to the party that elected me. IL
the question was submitted TO the he
publican party of Kansas today, whether
Senator ingalls, or some Alliance RepuD-
lican should be the United States SEN
ator. | am convinced that ingalls, would
receive ninety-nine out of each one hun
bred votes. Every old soldier in Kansas
and in fact throughout the whole coun-
try, recognize in Senator ingalls, their
best friend. He has been faithful and
true to all their just demands IN all the
past, and they are in earnest IN their
demand for his reelection. lie Is IN
favor of free coinage of silver, with such
legislation as will preserve the greatest
parity between the coins OF gold and
silver and finally result in the great aims
of the Republican party-perfert and com
plete parity of the two precious metals.

will result in diversifying our industries
to the end that the market for the
farmers products may be in our own
country, instead of in foreign land, and

some of the attempts TO have laws en-
acted protecting investors against the
losses arising from stealing the improve
ments on mortgaged property, have been
successful in the western states, but it Is

our knowledge now extends, but one

cratic party can elect more governors and
inaugurate less than any party that has
existed since the flood.-Topeka Democrat.
You should, by all means, included
the office of president, according TO your
own oft-repeated assertion. But the
trouble is easily explained. Your party
plays its clever tricks so bunglingly that
everybody can see through them at
glance. And the gun incident, which Is
a never-falling party insignia, naturally
arouses suspicion of the trick that Is
nearly always practiced.

announced that $50 knights Templar
will today each suffer a portion of skin

to make good the loss of brother

Prof. Hicks, the Illinois weatherologist
who gave the country so much accurate
weather data last year, is at it again.
His first forecast was for disturbance
from ne Sth to the 18th instant. 1t Is
here. He then goes on to say that the
next general storm movement we may
expect between the 18th to 23d. Per-
haps a blizzard in the north. There are
reasons to apprehend the hardest storms
of the winter in February. Hicks and
Foster agree on that prediction.
