a COSTLY LESSON.

The conflict at Homestead, Pa, Tues
day brings to the front afresh the old
question OF profits on the part of the
manufacturers, and Of wages on the pars
of the workmep, but so far no evidence
has been adduced TO show which has
been the substantial gamer on the real
issue involved. Nevertheless the SYM
pathy of the public is with the WORK amen,
on the ground that the hated Pinkerton
methods were employed by the mill
owners.
But this sentiment is not based upon
the merits of the question involved be
tween the mill owners and the men; it
is simply the love of fair play and free
dom Inborn in every American cit zen,
and the optgrowth OF long continued
wrongs at the hands of an organized
civil mob under the protection OF the
law.
The only good thing to be discerned in
the horrible event is the fact that it may
be the beginning of the breaking up of
this infamous Pinkerton organization
Men who remember the treatment
received by the Pinkertons at
Homestead yesterday will not be eager
to enlist under that banner in the future
The fight is now on and it simply means
determination of the Pinkerton organi-
cation. II this can be accomplished it
will be worth the less incurred for the
sake Of future freedom.
The question at issue between the mill
owners and workmea az Hsmestead is
an open one, and much can be said on
both sides. While it is true that Car
negie has become rich through the gil
gsatic operations of his mills, it is fact
that his workmen have alwayS been
paid fair wages. There are 1900 men
employed in the mills and they receive
in the aggregate $4,000 per month.
Outside of the 500 laborers, whose pay
averages about 1.50 per day, the ma
jori,y Of the workingmen receive not
less than SIS per week, while hundreds
receive an average of $50 10 Sa5.
The woykmen claim that the firm
makes The contracts and the nen turn

profits of millions of dollars

entitled TO better wages than they now
receive, or at beast 10 no less. Mr. Car
nrgie, on the other hand. makes no

with other manufacturers ulesS his work
men will accept lower wages However.
the fact remains that ne has been able To
amass colossal fortune, mainly of the
labor OF his mea.
The present state ofaffairs might have
been avoided had both sides used little
more Judgment and forbearance. Al
tie only conference held between the
representatives of the mills and the men.
there was only difference of 81 per ton
upon which wages are based. This diff
ference is so small that it wonli cut no
material figure either way, although ii
would have been q slight reduction upon
the present scale. On the other hand,
improved machinery now in the mills
would enable the men To earn more
wages in the aggregate than they have
been earning.

But now, thinking that there may posi-

The Democratic convention to nomi-

Missouri supreme court, Wednesday,
selected Sherwood, Burgess aud Macfar-

the nomination OF Sherwood for the rea
son that he has for years uniformly favor
ed the railroads of the state in his rulings
in cases before him in which railroad
was interested, and because he made a
canvass of the state on passes issued to
him by the roads. These charges the
Democrat published and republished,
but the convention shut its eyes to the
facts and set him up again for election.
Ii half of what the Democrat says of
him is true Sherwood is an unsafe and
dangerous man to entrust with SO I'M

Don't the EAGLE know that the reason
corn and hogs are higher now is because
farmers are having 10 buy themf-Pratt
Union.
No, the EAGLE does not know any
thing OF the sort; it knows that the corn
and hogs offered on this market are the
farmers surplus products, and that they
are purchased by dealers and packers.
But if it were true that farmers having
to buy corn and hogs, the products of
farmers alone, is the cause of the adj
vance in prices it would show and prove
that the farmers who have a surplus are
as ready to take advantage of the necessi-
ties, the misfortunes if you please, of
brother farmers as Of anybody else, and
at once dispels the pleasing illusion that
'the misfortune of one is the concern of
all, So beautifully set out in the Alliance

INTERESTING INFANTS.
Baby Hyenas and Jaguars Born In Cap
fiYitY.

can not say that hyena is a good
looking brute The idea this animal
gives you is that ii is a type of skulking
ferocity. Nature built it on purpose for
a particular kind of business. With its
strong forelegs and feet il can do all
the digging necessary, and then it
slopes down behind, as if all its force
and energy were built up in front. The
head has no expression abopt it. The
eyes are black and dull. There is
no flash in them. The teeth! Oh, that
is where the hyena shows uncommon
powers. And the jaws show great mus
cular strength If any thing got be-
tween those jaws, yon may be sure it
would be held onto. The best can say
of the hyena is that it is very useful
animal, and in warm countries, where
carrion would breed disease, the hyena
plays the part of the vulture. / never
have quite forgiven the hyena who bit
off the tails of two fine tigers in Bar
NUNS circus.
The little hyenas look, as to their
heads, like Newfoundland puppies, only
with less intelligence. They were born
at the park in New York, on the Esd of
last February, and for hyena to be
born in captivity is rare thing. The
parents came from Africa and are
known as the crocuta species, and that
is the Latin for bowling beast. Every
now and then, especially at night, a.
hyena at the park will laugh, but it is
not merry sound, and you do not feel
a bit like joining in their fun; you want
to stop Your ears, for its a horrible
sound. Somehow looking at the little
things, / felt sorry for them. They
were not in keeping with their sur
roundings. What was wanted was
stretch of hot sand or a bit ,of jungle.
Maybe young hyenas play under
natural circumstances, but in their den
they seem to be moping.
1t was very different when we saw
the other babies, the little jaguars.
They were jolly, lively creatures, and
as full of fun as kittens. The whelps
were captured by Indians in Columbia

err had been killed They are now

Mary was the merrier. Both of them
would put out their paws between the
iron bars. They wanted to be noticed.
When you had their paws in your
hand, you could not tell there were
any claws there, they felt so soft
and velvety. You had only, how
ever, to put canvas bag within
their reach to show you how long and
sharp were their claws, which were
hidden in their sheaths. At once the
two would lay hold of the bag and
growl, and il you tried to get the bag
away you could see what q hold they
had. Captivity did nc: seem 70 bother
them a bit. In their native wilds the

A TALK TO DEMOCRATS.

The issues of the coming campaign in
Kansas are plainly defined. In the de-
/ feat of the Republican party there can
be but one result, and nobody can mis-
take IL. All that is involved is the
material welfare of the state. 1t is a
question OF whether the good times
which are even now in sight, and full of
promise and success, are to be en-
couraged and sustained upon the one
hand, or whether upon the other all our
political, legislative and material in
terests are to be turned over to the
chances of revolution of calamity and
dispair. 1t has been said that it is to be
a campaign of education. The saying Is
misleading. It will be campaign
wherein common sense and self-reliance
will be confronted with prejudice begot-
ten of adverse conditions, for which
conditions no political party is
or could be responsible. No man
need be told what the result
to Kansas will be in the event of the tri-
umph of the adventures and dema-
gogues who are now conjointly plotting
for the control of the affairs of state.
Instead of the steady progress now being
made on the line Of liquidation and in
the direction. of prosperity, stability and
confidence, wherein values would be
confirmed and made stable, there would
come only distrust and uncertainty,
swiftly followed by further loss of
credit and weakening OF all personal,
corporate and municipal securities. Our
abundant crops for the past two years
and the discharge of debt and consequent
renewal of confidence would all be lost
and prove less than nothing. What edu-
cation can be found in the appeal made
by the Democratic convention this week
for the members of that party to vote
fusion which promises only confusion:
Where is the business man in the state
of Kansas, we care not how strong Re-
publican he may be, who would not pre-
fer legislature made up wholly of
Democrats than a legislature whose ma
jority consisted of people who pretend
to believe in the sub-treasury scheme
and in the doctrines or rather wild
vagaries of Bethany?
Where is the Democrat who under
stands aught of political economy or
who has had business experience enough
to understand that distrust and I'M
certainty are ruinouss to credit, and
therefore Obstructive of trade anu of all
values, who would not prefer a Repub-
lican state administration and Repub-
and Of threatened political revolution?
Such Democrats nor Republicans can be
found. No tradeSman, no debtor. no
creditor, no manufacturer nor any in
dependent farmer or land owner can
afford to take the chances of aiding or
abetting a political revolution whose
leaders openly propose to cripple or de-
stroy every existing financial method
and to substitute new and untried
foundations for every material interest,
corporate and individual, of the state
and to substitute for intrinsc and we'll
defined values, wild promises and crazy
theories.
