The libel suit against Editor Wallace
of the Chase county Republican, resulted
as almost all libel suits, in favor of the
editor. 1t would seem that some men
would some day come to an understand
ing that newspaper libel suits are almost
always certain failures. The prosecutor
in this case owed money to the paper
and repudiated the debt. In defence of
itself the newspaper retaliated. A de-
feated candidate lent his services TO the
prosecution to punish the editor. As
was right and proper the editor came
out victorious. The prosecution probably
realizes by this time the truth of the
latter day adage: Men should not
get mad at what the newspapers say
about them, but rejoice at what they
know and do not say.

The order of the senate to expunge
from the records of that body all refer
ence to the proceedings in removing its
executive clerk, Young, would seem to
indicate that its members are ashamed
of their hasty action. 1t is not in &C
cOrdance with the American idea to re-
move an official upon charge without
giving him an opportunity to clear him
self of the charge if he can. The
senate ought at least to give the deposed
clerk such opportunity yet, even if his
reinstatement were not thought of, but
this will hardly be done; the stinker in
the case is unquestionably member OF
members of the honorable body, and it
was to save them that Young was dis
missed. To give Young a hearing
might expose the duplicity of the really
guilty ones. The secret session of the
senate is regarded by great many peo-
pie little better than a cloak to con-
ceal personal cowardice, and that it
ought to be abolished.

The interstate commerce commission,
despairing of bringing the railr Dads up
to complying with the terms of its
orders by civil process, has determined
10 try what virture there is in the fed
eral courts, and, is seen by the dispatches,
the grand jury of the United States
court at Topeka has been furnished in
formation upon which it is asked to re
turn into court indictments against the
officers of one of the recalcitrant roads
IN this state. The commission expresses
the hope that by THIS means some of the
crying evils the people of Kansas have
long been suffering will be remedied.
Public sentiment is certainly with the
commission and the court in this under
taking.

Already there are great many per-
sons returning from the Indian lands
opened last week to settlement, having
failed to secure claims, and many of
them declare their intention of remain
ing in Kansas near the border to await
the opening of the strip. They should
not have long to wait, as there is no
good reason why it should not be opened
in short time. However, in view of
the possibility that the walters may have
to wait for some time the EAGLE would
suggest to them that Just as good and
really more desirable homes may be had
IN almost any county in Southwestern
Kansas, and under much more advan-
tageouS circumstances, and by taking
homes here they will save time and
themselves much anxiety and further
chances for disappointment.

KANSAS. O MY KANSAS.

| 'Oh, my children, Ny poor children!
Listen TO the words of wisdom,
Listen to the words of warning;
If you listen to his council
You will multiply and prosper,
If his warnings pass upheeded
You will fade away and die.
There is a land in Southern Kansas
Where the sunfowers bloom forever,
Where the corn grows in the nighttime,
Where the soil is deep and mellow,
Where the watermelons ripen
In the gay and festive June-time
Where the ranchman has around him
Ten thousand fattened steers.
Where the famous American Desert
With its cacti and its sage-brush
Have vanished as mirage
Before the pillow and kicking mule.
Where the country grins and blossoms
With its sheep and sugar-cane,
With its mammoth pumpkins yellow,
With its peach and apple orchards,
With its vines and Iucious grapes,
With its fields of golden grain,
In the center of this country,
Long before the days of white men,
Came the tribes from all the Southwest
Their councils here to hold,
In this green and fertile valley
BY the waters of the Ark-an-saw,
And the little Ark-an-saw,
Here the Beacon light was hoisted,
Here the EAGLE found its nest,
Here the Arrows all were pointed,
Here the Mirror is reflected
And the Star shines its best.
The Opinion is not moderated,
The Herold is saengerfest.
Then the pale-face ventured onward
To the garden of the West.
Here thes massed their hosts together
For to found city larger
Than the village on the Kaw.
Here the white man since has prospered.
Here he multiplies and doubles
His wealth each second year.
Listen not unto the hooting
OF the owlet in the swamps;
Or the braves of other nations,
Lest they bring thee dire destruction,
Lest they lead thee unto death.
Before many moons have passed the night-tim
And many winters frozethe ground,
Yoke the oxen and the mule team,
Coop the chickens to the wagon
Sail it boldly to the sunset,
To the land OF the Kiowas,
20 the land of the Commanches
Laying in rolling prairies far to the westward
OF the great city of Wichita,
On to the land of Oklahoma,
Where the Great Father soon
Will let you go in peace.
Bid farewell to gravel beds,
Bid farewell to sour marshes,
Bid farewell to baked clay banks,
Bid farewell to stumpy fields,
And in the glory of the sunset,
In the purple mists of evening,
Pitch your wigwams in the wealth
Of the country that we sing

If community was composed entirely
OF good men, then, to avoid Office
would be as much an object of ambition
as to obtain Office is at present. ''There-
fore the true ruler is not meant by ma
ture to regard his own interests but that
of the ruled" The man who accepts a
public Office in these degenerated times,
when patriotism in public life is at so
low an ebb, must, if he is actuated by pure
motives, do so at sacrifice of his time,
peace and talents in the interest of good
government, and at the risk of being
misrepresented and misunderstood by
the generation be serves, and perchance,
must be satisfied for his reward with
consciousness of his own rectitude, and
faith in the commentator of posterity.

A Wonderful Cavern.

Tennessee has newly discovered
cave which presents some marvellous
features. 1t was discovered by a
miner in White county in that State,
and has its entering aperture on the
top of high mountain, Just beneath
a towering cliff The floor is of solid
rock, smooth and hard. At one end
OF a hall seventeen By seventy ct is
a we'll two hundred and sixty eight
feet deep with sides nearly perpen-
d cular and perfectly smooth and
even, as if drilled in the solid rock.
At the bottom is a huge chasm of I'M
known depth. One side Of the well
running its entire depth, is a column
of solid stone, smooth, r, und and e1-
actly vertical. Whether all this is
the work OF nature, or Of the art of
some Unknown race, is q question
which has not yet been dstinately
settled.
