cuitJndge to succee Judge Cherrington,
there has been an increasing demand on
tte part of Republicans of Highland

George B. Gardner, of this city, and fin.
aNy his acceptance has been secured and
F,is t,iends will ask for delegation that
at Chiliicothe will advocate his claims
as&.d secure, if possible, his nomination.
Judge Gardner is too well known to
need much introduction to the people
Of Highland county. AS lawyer he
stands we'll in his profession, honest in
fis intentions, and ever true, steadfast
and loyal, under all circumstances, to the
iate,ests of his client.
As Judge he was fair, impartial and
conscientious and possessed an excellent
legal mind, mind capable of rising
shove any likes and dislikes and of de.
cidipg cases on their merits, without
reference to outside influences.
As soldier he was among the first to

from the beginning to the end OF that
great struggle George b, Gardner was

ASIA or courage in the support. of the
cause in which he had enlisted.
AS Republican he has been active
in bis support of the ticket and year
after year has contributed his time and
sacrificed his business advocating Repub.
licsa principles in every township and
almost every school house in the county.
In politics, as in every thing else, he
has been honest and consistent, never
assuming the guise Of a hypocrite, and
ia that way sought favor from the op.
position. In national politics since he
Joined the Republican party he has vot-
ed for every President nominated by
thss organization.
The Republicans OF this circuit demand
for their nominee an able lawyer, an un.
prejudiced gentleman, an unqualified
Republican and an honest man. Judge
George B. Gardner is all OF these.

ST. PATRrCK's DAY IN THE MORNING

This is ST. Patrick day in the morning.
1t is the seventeenth of Ireland, as the
common expression goes and every true
Hibernian will deem ii q sacred duty TO
celebrate the day with all the enthusiasm
of his naturally enthusiastic soul. The
man who won't wear the green above the
red today is not in it. Probably 1900 900
button holes will be ornamented with a
green ribbon or some other emblem to in
dictate their love for the Emerald Isle.
The shamrock has not yet become prod
uct of the generous soil of Kansas aid con-
sequently it will not be worn To any eX-
tent. There will he only one bunch of
shamrocks in Wichita today in all prob
ability, and strange as it may appear that
one will be worn by an EnglishmaD,
Captain Eillets of Runuymede, who tele-
graphed east for them for this occasion.
His mother was Dublin lady and
it is out of respect for her nationality that
he will wear the tri-leaf. The shamrock
resembles clover, only it is much smaller
The reason why it is SO dear TO the Irish
heart is because ST. Patrick used it to il
lustrate the trinity of God to the pagan
chiefs of Ireland, and by its means it sat

one. it has been admitted by every body
for 400 years that st. Patrick was gen
tleman, and this proposition has been tes-
titled to in the songs of Ireland for over
1000 years. If any body ever had the
temerity to say that he was not gentle
man be was dead sure TO get a very beau
tifully decorated optic if Hibernian was
within the sound of his voice St. Patrick's
day has never been celebrated generally in
Wichita, but the Irish feeling with refer
epce to this matter is reviving here, and
the probability is that from now on the
day sill be celebrated in this city as it is
celebrated in all the cities in the United
States. by parade, ball, or literary and
oratoricai exercises Travellers say there
is not a city of any considerable size in the
world that 81. Patrick's day is not cele-
brated in to some extent. 1t was actually
celebrated last year in Pekin, China

AN OKLAHOMA BOOMER.

Hon. Dennis Flynn, postmaster OF
Guthrie, O. T.. spent yesterday in the city
on his way to his old home in Barber
county. When he arrived at Winfield he
missed the Southern Kansas train and
rather than spend the day in Winfield he
came up here. Dennis is always interest
ing when he comes TO Wichita lie Is II
good talker and he knows as much, per-
haps. about the affairs of Oklahoma as
any other man in that country. What his
mission is 10 Kansas was no: learned, but
he probably came up TO talk politics with
old friends While he is a genuine Okla
homa citizen and nothing else, he likes to
keep posted IN Kansas politics, for he Is
one of the pioneer Republicans OF Barber
county aud WAS always shrewed party
worker and vote maker from way back.
He owned and edited the first paper pub
lished ia Barber county, outside OF Medl-
cine Lodge, and the old log building Is
still standing III old kIowa where 1t was
published The old building WAS the
principal house in the town in them days
outside Of Rumsey's store and i, Is an
actual fact that a newspaper, JUSTICES
court. and 4 saloon WAS operated IN 1t at
one and the same time, to say nothing OF
the very enterurisipg law Office OF the
noted Aleck Hopkins. who still resides in
the county. Dennis is remembered in the
old town as a good item chaser who was
always energetic in gathering the news
which consisted chiefly of saloon rows in
one corner Of the building and the subse
quent trial before the justice in another
corner, When New Kiows started he
moved mis- plant there, but soon sold out
aud embarked in the law and real estate
business, in which he made considerable
money by rustling. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that he is a lawyer, but he is,
and a good one, too having read law in
the Office OF no less a parsonage than
Grover Cleveland, WHO WAS then prsetic-
ing in Buffalo. When an EAGLE reporter
met him last night he would say nothing
about Oklahoma politics, but one ought
TO have heard him eulogize the beauties OF
Oklahoma He thinks 1t Is the fairest
spot on earth, compared to which the Gar
dsn of Eden was nothing but mere
thorny patch. He never gets tired Of sing
ing the praises of Guthrie, which be says
is today one of the most prosperous and
gressive towns west of the Missouri. Deu-
MS is n natural born boomer and when
ever and wherever he travels Guthrie ana
Oklahoma viii be heard from.

TRANSFORMATIONS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
One OF the most important questions
that Kansas has to deal with now IS the
transportation question. Railroads are
built aud turned over TO capitalists and
they bond them for all the stock they
can sell, and then run the roads to pay
dividends on all the watered stock. Rail
road commissioners may regulate rates for
the benefit of the people. If the railroads
do not approve of it they will not submit
to it, as was shown by their last order. AS
soon as it was shown to the eastern system
they sent orders TO stop IL which was
obeyed. If they should submit to a reduc-
ton on few articles TO quiet the people,
they would put 1t on some thing else. for
they will make The roads earn so much
any way. We Lave allowed the system
too much rope, and the sooner the
jobhing houses and western states
realizes this the better il will
tie for them We lhave allowed them TO
control our legislators and elections until
we are almost poweriess. There IS more
TO the back Of this system than most peo-
pie think and more than could be told in
the compass OF u newspaper article. Our
rich people have been spending most OF
their money aud time this last twenty
wears I be other side the Atlantic, until they
have become accustomed to their rich
WAYS aud lost all Of our American freedom
and liberty Knock the props out from
under the single gold standard. That will
yet .,l the roots OF this system. Some may
say that this has nothing TO do with it.
but il has. Some want government cou-
troll That would do no good as long as they
control our ions and appointments.
America has driited into system of trans
porlaiion and finance which is one aud the
same thing aud practically the same men
at the dictRtion OF London, England. They
know that to build up railroad conters
means lower rates and they will not do it.
The whole system OF transportation and
finance must be destroyed and the govern
ment commence anew and then and nat
till then will we be justly dealt with.
