Abe is an honest young man and is very
courteous in his dealings with the public L
predict that Mr.. Smith Will not lose any trade
by the presence of Abe.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Blanton lectured
at Sharon school house, to quite a large
audience considering the condition of the roads
Mr.. Blanton argues from the scriptures that
the Lord Jesus will soon appear at the city of
Jerusalem and with the aid of the Jews and
other faithful ones commence the establish
ment of his kingdom on Mount Zion, the seat
of the throne of his father David and he
thinks that some nations will willingly submit
to the reign of Christ but most Of the nations
must be conquered, and according to the
prophesies it will require about rorty-five
years for Christ to conquer the whole earth,
and then he will reign over the whole earth for
one thousand years when he will deliver the
kingdom over his father. The last enemy that
Christ will destroy is death. On Thursday eve
ening Mr.. Blanton lectured again and exhibited
magic lantern representations Of mary scenes
and things past and future. There are very
few people here who agree with Mr.. Blanton s
understanding of the scriptures, but all accord
him the praise of being a christian gentleman
and of showing great patience in his answer
ing quesu )ns and in his forbearance towards
the disorderiy portions of his audience. The
hoodlum portion of the population OF Sharon
and vicinity were present in force on botn
evenings and kept up loud laughing and
talking In their part of the audience most of
the time Mr. Blanton was speaking. This class
did not seem to be actuated by any dislike
towards Mr.. Blanton nor toward what he was
saying, but by a fear that the reputation they
have heretofore maintained for disorderly con.
duct at all public assemblies might suffer
should they once deport themselves with be-
coming behavior. Novice

The 2sth biennial report OF the Sta

The 2Sth biennial report OF the State
Normal School at Emporia, shows a
total attendance of 1895, an increase of
276 during the past years. Eighty
eight counties are represented in the
school. The president, A. II. Taylor,
makes strong argument in favor of
an increase in the appropriations of the
state and enlargement of the faculties
of the school on the ground that we can
not afford to have three or four hun
dred young people spending from $500
to $500 per year, outside of the state.
The argument is sound and if there is
any respect in which our legislatures
can afford to be liberal, it is in building
up our educational facilities.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Kansas Crops!

The report of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture for Nov. shows a wheat
average for '92 of 5,6O3, 5SS acres,
yield 1873, 65S, 62l bushels, and an aver
age yield per acre 2474 bushels. The
corn crop IS 13S, SOS ,62l bushels. the av-
erage yield 24.74 bushels per acre or 5
hushel less than the average for 10 years.
The general impression is that farm
ing in the western half of the state is a
very doubtful experiment. This year,
however, in the north half OF the state
the corn crop was better in the western
than III The eastern half of the state.
The success in this part IL raising
wheat was in some cases remarkable.
Stephens county IN the extreme south
west reports 40 bushels per acre from
one seed; Clark county AZ bushels; Wal
lace county, 39!; Decatur county, 46
while these, OF course, are unusual
yields, yet they tend to prove that this
section is capable of successful cultiva-
ton. IL is pertinent toremark in this
connection that these results we're OBJ
tanned without irrigation. The report
also shows that in the same neighbOr-
hood under the same conditions one
farmer raises 40 bushels per acre while
another raises Is. The report attrib-
utes this to difference in farming,
though we believe that something is
due to the stage of maturity of the crop
during periods of rainfall and drOuth.

Kansas City Journal. We mean
Governor Humphreys views of the
great defeat of the 9Th inst. The
swirtness to blame it to the protective
policy will not do, and the republican
leaders and editors who lend color to
such cry are not safe guides. Where
have we really lost3 In states where
the financial question was strongest.
We lost Kansas, Colorado, Neveda and
Wyoming, and we lost Illinois and
Wisconsin-not OH the tariff, but on
silver and the ideas clustering about
that issue. The fact is, the republican
party did not keep step with its ira
ditions on that question, deferred to
the so-calied East" which means the
gold ideas. The cry of ian honest
dollar'' is the cry OF the Leader of money
and in his mouth always means the
highest priced dollar to the borrower OF
user. A dollar of silver or dollar OF
paper can be just as "honest" as any
other dollar, and the common sense OF
the people knows it. The great brokers
of Europe who own all the government
of the Old World are the honest dollar
men, because they can hold the control
of one metal easier than two-and that
is where the cat IN the meal lies. Why
is the bi-metal conference called which
meets In Europe next month"; Only
because the people are threatening to
break the monOmetal bonds, and it is
TO try to fix the change so as 10 do the
less harm to the money lending interest.
More than half the world-four-hfth OF
its people-nOw use silver as the
standard money. Why should our sixty
millions be forced to pay q discount on
the money of the worldp Only to enrich
the mon who loan money to England,
Germany, Russia and other mortgaged
governments OF the world-and its cor
porations. 1t is foul SANDER on the
peopls of the great West of American
to say their ideas. views, policy, or pur-
roses means anything \else than an
s'hopestn dollar. 1t is an honest two
dollars we want. It is here the real
cause of rcoubhcan apathy and revolt
lies-for it is 10th. A force biz to
the ballot-stuffing sod South is myth
compared to a policy thai affects the
staple Industry and the leading source
of commercial and economic prosperity
of two-thirds of the area and wealth
producing population of the United
States. The republican party needs
only TO be true TO itself TO WIN,

Aside from the heavy increase of

increases of over $1,000,000. In the

Ex-senator John Kelley, leading
republican of Sedgwick county, makes
the following sensible kick"
To the Editor of the Eagle:
viii you allow me the use of suffi-
cient space to protest against what be-
lieve to be an infamous outrage and in
suit to every honest republican in Kan
sas? L refer to the action of the board
of canvassers in the Haskell county re-
port which says:
when Haskell county was reached.
although the returns showed that Mr..
Rosenthal, the fusion candidate, had
received 152 votes to 12S cast for Tubbs
the republican candidate, the county
clerk, in certifying to the returns, had
reversed the figures, showing the cleo
ton of Mr.. THbbs. The board decided
that it would not 60 behind the clerk s
ceatlficate, and. declared Mr.. Tubbs to
be elected"
If this county clerk wilfully perpe-
trated this trick he should be impeach'
ed and kicked out of Office. And the
canvassing board is but little better, il
they are reported correctly. Again, in
| conclusion, the report says!
The republicans now have majorl-
| ty Of two over all in the lower house
and will be able to organize that branch
of the legislature and to upseat enough
| populiSt members to overcome the lat
teI's party majority of seven in the sen
| ate, should they so desire. The fact
however, that the populists could also
| do some uDeeatinQ in the senate NAV
deter the republicans from adopting
that course In the house."
Is this to be accepted as republican
doctrine of tactics? If so, it is 20 won
der we are turned down. And sc lone
as this infamy is practiced we Will stay
down. And ought to. Shame on any
man or party that will resort TO such
means. Respectfully,
JOHN KELLEY.
