westerly gale ragged Friday on the En-

or two instances the vessels waited for
an abatement before proceeding.
A binding snowstorm also prevailed,
and was SO dense that the salvage work
upon the steamship Elder, which ran
aground on Atherfeld rocks a short
time ago, was suspended.
The most extraordinary snowstorm
which has visited England for genera
ton occurred Thursday and Friday.
The snowfall in some places is several

Out OF Asiatic Russia.
ODESSA, Feb. 20,-The proposed emil
grafton TO America, this spring, of the
German MeSnonites, settled near Tash-
kend, in Asiatic Russia, is the result of
the new policy adopted by the Russian
government in requiring the Mennonites
to do military service the same as other
subjects of the empire. This is against
the Mennonite creed, the people of that
sect being aanallv ayerse to law suits
and to war.
For over one hundred years their
prejudices have been respected, and
they have been regarded as desirable
residents of the empire on account of
their skill, industry and law-abid'~g
character. 1t is now desired, howeve..
to get rid of all Germans, no matter
how remote their descent, who are not
entirely amalgamated with the Russian
population. Hence the measures that
are about to deprive Russia of its Men
monte population.

Kidnapping in Australia.

The Sydney Truth tells of doings in
western Australia which seem very like
the "blackbirding" that has been going
on among the Gilbert islands lately-.se
term means the taking away of natives
in shiploads to work in foreign lands
under system which is practically
slavery. Truth calls the western Aus
tralian squatters "modern slavers." 1t
says that when the squatter wants labor
ers he shuts his eyes to government reg
ulatlons and simply goes out muster
ing" He raids a native camp, and "by
the and OF conniving magistrate, who
may himself want to go mastering next
week, entangles the natives into form
OF agreement purporting to be twelve
months engagement"
Desertions promptly follow, and rear
rest as promptly follows desertion. "It
Is common sight to see gang of blacks,
chained by the necks, being escorted
from one prison to another by black po-
icemen as deserters." 1t is alleged that
this system of kidnapping is in full oper-
alton in western Australia.

The Rose.

AT all times the rose has enjoyed Pc
cul1ar favor as a sacred flower. Moham-
medan tradition says that when Saladin
captured Jerusalem he refused to enter
the shrine of the temple which had been
converted into church by the Crusaders
till the walls had been thoroughly
cleansed and purified with rosewater. A
similar story is told of the Church of st.
Sophia, at Constantinople, when trans
formed from a Christian place of wor-
ship to a Mohammedan mosque. The
origin of the rose, according to Moslem
tradition, is that the blood of the prophet
sprang into new life in this glorious
crimson flower. To this day, when a
Turk sees rose lying ON the ground, he
will raise it tenderly, kiss it reverently
and deposit the frail blossom in some
place of safety.
The followers of Zoroaster have the
ory that prior to the existence of sin in
the world the rose was thornless flow
er. In the east it is a tradition to this
day that the burning bush in which the
angel of the Lord appeared to Moses
was a rosebush, while in the Roman
Catholic church the rose still retains no
little element of the sacred character
which it would appear to have enjoyed
in all rellgions.-New York News.

The Philadelphia Press is certain
the new county question will come
before the legislature at its next ses-
sion, inasmuch as Kline was elected
on that issue. This prophecy will no
doubt hold good. With the aid of a
portion of Lackawanna county, Halle.
tonians had their wish gratifed in
electing a senator, and they will work
hard to bring about the consumma
tion of the scheme. Freeland and
Foster, however, may be relied npon
to roll up another such majority
against it as they did on the recent
Legislative vote. The TRIBUNE stated
over year ago there would be nc
plain sailing for the new county, and
the setback one of its advocates re-

The X. Of l.. Journal, in an able
article last Thursday, arrived at the
conclusion that the Republican party,
SO far as national politics are concern
ed, will never be heard of again,
although it may be able to keep up a
sort of guerilla warfare in different
localities for few years. 1t also
states That the reign of the Democrats
will be short-hved, unless its leaders
begin strong fight against the evils
under which the people are resting
This fight must not only be against
the tariff, but, to keep the people on
its side, the party will have to deal
radically with the currency, land and
transportation questions. The voters
have stated in no uncertain manner
that they want reform all around, and
any dilly-dallying with their wishes
will result in Democracy's overthrow
in four years from now. If the in
coming party, the JOeu',ol says, does
not do its duty the Peoples party will
assuredly be given the next chance.

UNEASY lies the head that wears a

township of Luzerne there are from
five to twenty applicants for post
offices all of whom certainly cannot be

age is very delicate one and no mat
ter what care is exercised there will
be heartburnings and personal disap-

must also do the same. But it would
be much nicer if the issue did not
have to be met.-Neacsdedler.

dent Harrison down to coroner: do not

colored citizens will stay at the helm,
and push the battle to the gate. am
colored citizen of this great and grand
old republic. Every just and honest
man loves the freedom of the United
States made possible by the grand old
Republican party, through the patriotic
and statesmanllke efforts of Lincoln,
Grant, Sherman and Logan and Fred
Douglass, and many other great men
too numerous to mention, including our
great statesman who is now at the helm
with the reins of the government III the
hands to be held for four years longer If
we, the colored people, do our duty at
the polls in November next. We expect
to vote solid for the whole Republican
ticket in every state and territory, and l
trust that when the votes are
counted in November every Republican
will be elected; and we can then write
high up on the starry banner in letters
of gold these words: Victory is ours; we
have fought brave and honest battle.

indices of condition existing, or liable

many persons is alarming. Everybody

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.
HARPER, Kan, July 6, 1892.
II. HUTCHINSON.

HARPER, Kan, July 8, 1892.
To the Editor OF the Eagle
see the Kansas City Times is blowing
hot and cold on the Cherokee strip deal
while they make pretentions that they
are anxious to have this land opened to
settlement. By reading between the
lines people will see a knife ut work by
them doing all they can in a SLY way to
kill it. When you get at the bottom OF
his affair, you will find, in my opinion,
the Kansas City Times is influenced and
controlled in their eIitorirls on the strip,
by few cattlemen in Kansas City and
the Cherokee Live Stock association.
There is absolutely no reason why the
agreement with the Cherokee nation
should not be ratified by the congress,
and the land opened to settlement. not
later than Nov, 10, 1892 at farthest.
The Times excuse that the price agreed
upon is out of all proportion as to the
value of the land, is rot of the rankest
kind. They know the settler pays for
the land, and not the government. The
settler is making no objection to the
price, and the dilatory tactics restored
to by this congress is disgrace to any
civilized country.
1t is believed by all classes in South
ern Kansas that the delay in this matter
is caused by Doodle and not from any
desire to protect the rights of the people.
In fact it looks as though when a man
is elected to congress, as rule 65 head
before, will take, in his mind, after he
takes his seat, No. s hat to fit his CO.
coanut head Your paper has a large
circulation in this state-the people want
the Cherokee outlet opened-open your
batteries and give all interested in this
matter a scald which will take the hair
off, and perhaps you can shame them in
doing what is their plain duty In this
matter. Show up the pure cussedness
of the Times in this matter, and you
will see their circulation get beautifully
less in this state. Ohlige your readers
by ripping up the back, the whole outfit,
from cattlemen to congress.
Yours Truly,

An old German and his wife came in
to a merchants Office in Junction City,
according the Union, and made this
statement: 1--WE have been saving
money to purchase some adjoining land,
but we have decided that we have
enough land, and we want YOU to take
the money and keep it for us. We have
no use for it now" The same farmer
said he had seen the time in Kansas, to
use his expression, when he was as poor
as the poorest black crow that ever flew
over these prairies. And their exper-
fence is the experience of thousands of
honest, industrious farmers all over
Kansas, many of whom have large de-
posits in the banks of the state, plenty
around them and no debts to annoy.
