There are still some skeptics in this
country on the subject of tin; who still
set down every mention of the tin in
dustry in this country as so much crea-
ton Of the protectionist brain. The
EAGLE does not belong to that class, If
it had it would have been persuaded
yesterday that the manufacture of tin
plate in the United States is reality
and success. Mr.. James Murray,
citizen of Kingman, who was enroute
home from ST. Louis called yesterday
aud exhibited tothe writer some samples
of tin plate which he procured from the
works of the ST. Louis Tin Plate and
Stamping company while in that city.
Being native Welshman Mr. Murray is
familiar with the article of tin and its
production, and he gives it as his opinion
that the American-produced article is
equal in every respect to the best that is
produced in the famous tin district of
Wales.

The domestic trade balances for the
country, as shown from the reports of
the commercial agencies, show an ex-
ceptionally healthy tone to the business
of the country, and this, supplemented
by the smallest number of business fail
ures involving less volume of financial
losses than has been experienced for ten
years, furnishes unmistakable proof that
the country is in a prosperous condition.
Usually during national political cam
paign business is disturbed and failures
multiply on account of. the uncertainty
Of the outcome of the contest and the
possible changes in the policy of govern
ment incident TO a change in admins
tration. The absence of any such feel
ing as shown by the condition Of business
indicates a remarkable degree of conf
dence in the present administrative
policy and argues most emphatically in
favor of its continuation. Everything
points to sweeping Republican triumph
this year.

to Mr.. Cleveland's one significant utter
ance on the tariff question, Senator Vest,
one of the most conspicuous supporters
and most trusted lieutenant, said: "Mr.
Cleveland has challenged the protected
industries to fight of determination.
The fight is to the death" Grover had
better give George fresh cue. How
ever, there is probably an understand
ing between them. Grover is talking to
the eastern manufacturers, while George
is talking straight party sentiment to
the agricultural west, under the impress
sion that the sentiment here is against

European military circles have been
all agog over the long distance race that
has just ended, the participants being
officers and enlisted men the armies of
Austria and Germany, and the contest
being IN the main one testing the powers
of endurance of men-the distance
covered being nearly 500 miles. The
shortest time in which il was made was
something less than four DAYS. which
was certainty very remarkably, both as
to riders and the horses. The reports of
the event state that many of the horses
ridden died under the strain put upon
them, but this was mentioned as a mere
incident and to magnify as far as il
would the prowess of the riders. Such
an occurancc in this country would have
called out vigorous protest if nothing
more from the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty TO Animals, and good
many people would have sympathised
with ias society.

The old '.saw" that It's an i'll wind
that blows nobody good, is being in a
measure exemplified in some portions of
the state just now The continued dry
weather is said to be interfering some
what with wheat sowing, and is like
wise damaging the young wheat that
was sown early and came up before the
dry spell set in. Added to these the fly
is said to have made its appearance in
the wheat that is up, while in some
places the grasshoppers have fallen upon
the wheat and destroyed considerable
areas of it. These reports may have
something Of fact as basis, but they
are all greatly exaggerated. But they
constitute timely text for the calamity
walters who will find in them inspira
ton for renewed lamentation.

Jerry Simpson, in his speech at

The case against Chairman Breideu-
thai of the Peoples partT state commit
tee was dismissed by the state. The
information was filed by members OF his
own party, evidently for the purpose of
making it appear that he was being per-

Republican prosecuting attorney, as soou
as he discovered the trick, dismissed the
case without prejudice against the ac-
cused, and another campaign bubble

To help rs to appreciate our fine
climate we ought to 60 away from home
for day or two during the hottest
weather. We had some pretty snug
weather hast week-weather Just little
more torrid than We care forIbut with
our hottest weather it lis seldom sultry.
There is nearly always a breeze and in
the evenings especially a delightfully."-
cool breeze is always present To show
the difference in climate, as regards
oppressive weather we give the following
from the Kansas City journal of last
week, and the same item with slight
variations might have consistently ap-
peared every day for the last month.
The Toyaal says: Yesterdays heat was
simply terrific. During the early part of
the day hot sitting wind blew and the
furnace-ike air struck the face like the
breath of a SIMEON. Shortl, after noon
the breeze seemed to become cooler,
although the temperature steadily rose,
but the heat was not so UNDESIRABLE. The
afternoon was extremely oppressive, and
at 4 O'Clock the naximum-99.2 -was
reached. Yesterday evening was very
oppressive, and every spot where breath
OF air could be found was q delectable
spot, and it was "good to be there"

Willcockson the Winner.

At the senatorial convention held in
Oberlin, August 10th for the 39th district,
K. E. Willcockson, of Oakley, was nomi-
mated on the 9th ballot. The counties
of Trego, Cove, Logan and Wallace were
loyal from start to finish and voted for
the successful candidate throughout.
John A. Nelson, of the Trego county
delegation, placed Mr.. Willcockson in
nomination. Our people are all we'll
satisfied, in fact he was Trego county's
first choice. Mr.. Willcockson is an able
lawyer, a good orator and has always
been a stalwart republican. His nomi-
nation was made unanimous by the con-
vention and all the defeated candidates
and their friends will stand by him.
There are no discussions, no animosities
over the result. There is no doubt of his
election and we will have a senator
of whom the whole district will feel
proud.

Bro. Cosby, of the Hoxie Sentinel
thinks that some Of their normal stu.
dents are in attendance principally for the
purpose of hirtations with the other sex.
Well now, come to think of it, we used to
attend normal ourselves and we have not
entirely forgotten it either and have q
great deal of charity for them. Our
teachers as rule are isolated and have
but few opportunities for sociability and
recreation. We believe that normal
institutes can be made both pleasant and
profitable, and while the main idea, of
course should be to acquire information
of practical use to the teacher in his pro-
fession, we believe little diversion at
stated times and intervals will not retard
their studies. These remarks are not
made by way of apology for our normal
students, for here they study increasingly.
There is not the slightest nonsense in our
Trego County teachers. They all-indi-
vidually and collectively-mean business
and nothing else.

R. s. Osborn, candidate for secretary
of state on the peoples party ticket, took
dinner in Cove, Tuesday. He thought il
waste of energy to speak here so he
drove to a school house in the west side
of the county. While here we heard him
state that he was not a politician. As
Mr.. Osborn began Kansas politics by
running for representative in 1872 and
has continued to run for something OF
other almost every year for the past
twenty years, we suppose he defines a
politician as one who holds, and not one
who seeks an office.-GoDe County Gazette.
