NOW IS 1T NOT TRUE?

Who are these fellows that are just
now so persistently bewailing ''our
down trodden condition and misrule-op
preston? Some people, it seems, have
been thinking that it is the farmer and
the producer. Not much. Look up
your calamity exponent and you will
find that this down trodden class are a
lot of jack-leg lawyers, political adven-
turers, bursted real-estate dealers,
swamped commission merchants, cheap
female ranters and Growing hens. That
they have pulled the wool over the eyes
of a number of farmers no one denies.
Back of this crowd which we have cor
rectly named and designated are the
Democratic bosses of the state who are
for anything to beat the Republican
party. These do sthe "hissing on" aud
the jackleg lawyers and their uneasy
female ccadjutors do the barking and
bowling. They threaten to bite, but be-
ing toothless and generally debiliated
there is nothing to dread on that score.
Take your own township or town, take
your own county or the state at large,
and pick out the leaders in this dis
gruntled movement and every one of
them will come under one or the other
of the designations given.

KANSAS CAPTUR1 ID HIM.

A few months ago a visitor from
"u,.ck east" came to Kansas on a pleas
ure trip and while here became SO en-
amored of the state in its varied interests
and attractive features that he deter
mined, like Ruth of old, to become one
of US. Here is what he has to say now
after years residence:
The growth of the state has been
phenomenal; twenty five years ago there
was comparatively nothing west of the
Missouri, and very little west OF the
Mississippi. Where now fair farms and
beautiful groves of shade and fruit trees
stand TO gladden. the eye, and tell of
comfortable aud happy homes, the In
dian and buffalo held full possession of
the soil. There are now busy, busting,
thriving cities IN Kansas: churches,
schools. electric street car lines, factories,
mills aud commercial exchanges: marts
of trade whose transactions run INTO the
milliOns-and yet twenty-five or thirty
years ago the first football OF civilization
had not been heard, where now tower
the imposing walls of the warehouse, the
grain elevator aud the mill.
And vet there are only million and
half of people in all OF Kansas lie
ground has scarcely been touched by the
hand of man-oniy about twenty people
to the square mile, and this includes
both the jewellers in cities and the
dweliers on farms-there IS
Room for millions more"
And opportunity for millions more.
Where now there are only broad
stretches Of prairie grass and sunshine,
counties, homes Will rise; co1ntless vil-
lagos and towns, with schools and
churches. factories and markets viii be
built.
Ii is the destiny of Kansas to be
great state.
Her geographical position
Soil
Climate.
History
The character and energy Of her peo-
pie.
Everything combines TO make her
gre4. In the nation, and worthy o. tie
love of Der children vino have rescued
her fruitful soil from tise savage and tie
wild beast, and caused her valleys 10
blossom As the rose.

THAT TRANs-MI8soURI TRUST.

The readers of the EAGLE may remem-
Der, probably, the suit brought by United
States Attorney Ady last spring for the
purpose of dissolving the Transmissouri
Freight association, the effect of which
action, if successful, the EAGLE went
into as thoroughly as it was capable, in
which, among other things, we tried to
make clear the fact that the said associ-
alton, being composed of ten trunk lines,
were and had been discriminating against
interior Kansas centers in favor of the
Missouri river. where all the said lines
have mutual interest. This phase of
the question brought in the claims of
Wichita and the determinations made
against her jobbers, manufacturers,
packers and live stock shippers.
in the discussion of which we
claimed that this city only
demanded such concessions as her bust
ness importance, and relative greater
tonnage entitled her tos
The hearing of the case, brought under
the Sherman antitrust law, by Mr.. Ady,
to disorganize the Missouri-river combine
was adjourned from Topeka to Cheyenne,
where it was submitted the first part of
this last week, before L. S. District
Judge Riner. The dispatches seemed
to convey the impression that the rail-
way attorneys had the best of the argu-
ment, which is in no sense true Judge
Adys speech, which occupied sew
eral hours, was not only wonder
fully sstrong, but was backed by
citations and quotations of au-
thorities on transportation and traffic
questions reaching back almost TO the
birth of commerce. And they are prac-
tically unit in the declaration that
transportation corporations cannot COM
bine either by agreement or through
purchase, such deals and understandings
being opposed to public policy and the
rights of the people. Mr.. Ady's speech
took up the best part of whole day and
its arguments and array of facts seemed
overwhelming. The Cheyenne Sun has
this editorially to say of it:
"All of yesterday the air in the federal
court room was made fierce with that
tale of woe brought here from down
trodden Kansas. Mr.. Ady finished his
argument on behalf of the government
at 1890 in the forenoon. He was some
times pretty careless in talking. but not
for single moment did he overlook the
fact that his contract was TO fight il out
all summer or establish the claim that
the TranSmissouri Traffic association was
trust. The tall warrior knew what lie
was there for, and whether entangled in
one of his long sentences or beaming
scorn on the we'll fed lawyers of the OPP
position, he WAS all the time leading up

proposition that this POOL had throttled
competition and was amenable 10 the

States attorney for the district of Kansas

n. d. Adams of the Scott County
News died at his home in Scott City, on
Thursday last, of complication of dis
eases. Mr.. Adams was a young man of
character and ability, and, in his death,
the editorial fraternity in western Kan
sas loses one of its brightest memb ers,
Scott county a useful citizen, and the
young wife faithful and affectionate
husband. Mr.. Adams came to Kansas
from West Virginia in 1887, and joined
Mr.. Harvey Fleming, at that time with
the EAGLE, in the purchase of the News,
and assuming personal control of that
paper has devoted his energies to the
improvement of the paper and the gen.
eral uplifting of his adopted hometown
and county, and right royalty has he
succeeded in both. The press of the
state unite in profound commiseratlon
with the bereraved wife in her great sor-
row and loss.

WHERE is THE "WE?n

Sure, and when these workmen get
to be farmers the increased supply of
farm products, with no factory hands to
buy the stuff, will push prices down to
the starvation point and the farmers
will have to quit the business.
"But we shall have lower prices"

September is the day set by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Republican
central committee for formerly opening
up the campaign all along the line.
Meetings will be held on that day in
each of the seven congressional districts,
at which the congressional candidates
will be among the speakers. From the
date named to the close of the campaign,
November 8, warfare will be waged I'M
ceasingly upon the enemies of the state
and nation, preparatory to a glorious
and ovwhelming victory for both.

Despite the persistent and determined
efforts of the retrenchment champions
in congress to curtail the pnblic expen di-
lures and bring the appropriations below
those made by the first session of the
famous billion-dollar congress, and, not
withstanding some of the necessary ap-
large deficiencies will have to be provid
ed for by the next congress-despite
these facts, the aggregate of appropria-
tons made by the congress just adj
journed exceeds that of the last congress
by fortyfour million dollars. The record
is made, and is before the country,
luckily, in time for the people to pass
upon it at the polls.

The result of the Alabama state elec-
ton was but an index to the general
situation in the south as regards the
boasts and claims of the Pops. Even in
South Carolina, in which state the new
party was easily successful in the last
state election, the leaders admit that the
party is losing rapidly. In that state, as
in Alabama, the negroes who were in
weighed into the movement are deserving
ii and declare that they will have moth
ing to do with it as a political party. 1t
may be unfortunate for the new party
that these local conditions in the south
developed so early in the season, but it
will prove fortunate thing for the Re
publican party, nationally, and for the
country.

The subtreasury advocates can not say
truthfully that that scheme was not fair
ly considered and treated by congress.
The bill introduced early in the session
providing for such establishment had
the careful and patient consideration of
the committee to which it was referred,
and after giving the friends of the meas
ure unlimited time and opportunity to
present argument and proof in support
of it, the committee made careful and
exhaustive review of the whole question,
unanimously recommending that the bill

The great campaign meeting adver-
tised for Emporia by the fusion which
was to draw together the people of three
or four counties, proved ridiculous
failure, and the Republicans of the Neo-
sho valley are jubilant. Instead of five
miles of wagons with banners there
were just five in the procession. Only
about five hundred people were present
and dwellings, speech is reported to

PREACHERS AND LABOR LEADERS

The divergence between the churches,
even of the most liberal class, and the
| workingmen was never more clearly or
more painfully shown than by recent
investigation made by the Massachusetts,
Congregational association. The Rev.
John 2. Coyle sent inquiries to preach
ers and church officers and to the officers
of the labor organizations, to ascertain
whether in their opinion industrial dis
content had anything to do with the
falling off of church attendance. The
replies do not indicate directly to what
feet, but indirectly they brought much
more significant information than could
have been anticipated. The results Of
this interesting inquiry are set forth in
an article on preachers and Labor
Leaders" in the August number of the
Forums "Studies in Practical Re-
ligion." The preachers admit that
80 per cent of the work
ingmen are aheDated from the
church, but they think that industrial
discomfort has had little to do with it.
On the other hand. the labor leaders de-
clare that 48 per cent of the workingmen
are allenated from the church, and that
the reason is to be found in the alliance
of the church with the industrial inter
eSts that are hostile 10 labor.
Church members are accused of be-
ing first and most merciless in cutting
down the wages of helpless girls while
maintaining their own salaries and divi-
dends. A report is made of one employ
er who gave largely and with hluch APP
plause to the building of church, and
then deducted the cost of it from the
wages of his help. And such men as
these are the pillars of the churches, oc-
cupy the chief seats, fill the highest
offices, impart to them their tone,
and welcome the workingman if he
comes as a beneficiary, which his self
respect resents. When lockouts and strikes
occur, the churches and preachers side
with the employer, deride labor organic
atoms, Sneer at their leaders, and throw
the weight of their influence against
them. Seldom is the church just enough
even to be neutral 1t is 'mammonized'
institution; it belongs to the plutocrats,
and gives disgusting exhibition of its
servility when it grovels at the feet of a
