PUGILIsTIC ADvERsIT1Es.

The country, just at present, is delug-
counters, heavy let's, pivot blows and
lot of other enigmatical lore that the
general reader wades through with a
dim conception at the last that somebody
has been terribly licked.
Above it all, roars the stentor challenge
Of John L. Sullivan, who doesn't care
really for the name of champion, but pat
riotlcally wishes to whale any man who
fights with HIM on American soil. He
is after Mitchell. He aches in his wax
ing hours and his dreams at night fade
into desire to batter Mr.. Mitchell's face
into corey jelly.
Mitchell once fought Sullivan and by
dim of running away and chasing about
like wild race horse tagged Sulliva n
out. Sullivan has never forgotten it. So
he challenges the world afresh.
The life of a pugislist is not happy
one. A ''slugger" is never the cham
pion. Poets have been known to reign
supreme. Statesmen to stand the center
of submissive plawdits alone; but slug
gers never. By the nature of things, it
is not SO. There is always some new
victor who feels his muscle and wants to
lick somebody and naturally selects the
best man. The champion, in consequence
is kept in a constant battle, and far from
towering alone. Is merely machine by
which his fellow fighters are gradated.
John L. Sullivan feels this, and would
like to quit, but that, no matter what ar
guments can be arrayed to the contrary,
would be surrender. Sullivan will have
to fight to the end.
And at this point, it behooves all weak
and unpugilistic citizens to offer thanks
that they were not born pugilists; and to
suffer the rebukes of the naughty street.
car conductor; the autocratic policeman;
and the contempt of the refined restau-
rant waiter with silence and new born
meek submission.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

In debate, Friday, Congressman Otis
deferred to commercial travellers as COM
mercial tramps and useless excrescences.
One thing, and only one, is quite plain
from such an utterance as this, and that
is that Mr.. Otis and Webster's dictionary
are getting together. So far as any ink
ling of justice in such declaration is
concerned, search for it would be equal
ly rational with packing up and making
an overland march for the tabled treas
ures at the bottom of the rainbow.
A tramp is a peregrinating beggar,
homeless, and aimless, thief if occasion
demands it; murderer, if in a corner.
The commercial traveller has his home
and his little ones, and although his
business calls him away from them for
days together; the meeting is enriched
blythe temporary estrangement. 1t is to
this haven that the weary commercial
traveller, up at all times of night to make
uncertain trains; open to the vicissitudes
of weather and sharp competition, looks
all through the week-to his
blue-eyed babies and the little woman,
who tolls on alone, unmurmuring and
dwelling ever upon the anticipation of
his coming.
Trade is elevated by these useless ex-
crescences. The most isolated hamlet
is given the benefit of competition. The
advantages of our civilization are ex-
tended everywhere. Mr.. Otis idea
seems to be that the country merchant
shall hitch up his wagon and draw it
to the nearest trade center, be proved
npon by the most INSCRIPTIONS houses
there; pile in few sacks of flour and a
stale stock of canned goods and return
for another year.
But whatever Otis thinks, the COM
mercial men of Kansas are not Migrants,
and as they travel pretty thoroughly
over Mr.. OTIS congressional district and
are as class noted for glihness, he may
realize il some day tc his sorrow.

STAY IN KANSAS.

Just now there is good deal of talk
about the fabulous finds OF gold and
silver out in the Colorado mountains and
The rush to the scenes are said to be al
most equal to the wild times of forty nine
in. California. Hundreds and thousands
of men are focking into the mining dis
tricts mentioned and ninety-nine out of
every hundred will meet with sore dis
appointment, and after season Of pain
ful anxiety, deprivation, hardship and
failure will be compelled TO leave empty
handed for some other quarter where a
living can be earned.
The young men of this state cannot
afford to be carried away by wildcat
schemes and glowing visions of future
glory and wealth to be achieved in some
other state. In no state in the Union are
there such opportunities afforded to
young men to rise and attain wealth and
distinction. In all points and in all pro-
LESSONS, Kansas young men are gaining
prominence and securing coveted laurels.
Young blood will win when combined
with push, tact and energy and nowhere
are there better opportunities offered
than i'll Kansas. The young man who is
not afraid and is willing to labor hard
and study late will succeed in this state.
Blue blood is not essential to succeed.
Push and energy are the adjumcts to sue
cess. Kansas is poor state for loafers
and people who want TO live by their
wits, but to the man who is willing to
risk his time and labor the most inviting
field is Kansas.

vanced before, and again receded, and
they will go back again when they reach
a price so high that they cannot pay a
fair interest upon their valuation.
The lands of central Kansas are just
as rich in soil and capable of far great
er variety of crops, and yet they are
selling at scarcely one-fourth the price.
1t cannot be said that distance from
market is responsible for this difference,
as many of our products bring as much
at home as theirs do. To our mind it is
largely case of reputation; for if the
actual facts were known about Kansas
one hundred thousand farmers would
come to the state this year. The pru-
dent, careful farmer who is sell
ing his farm today in Illinois
has been nearly life time in
bringing his land up to its present value
while five to ten years in Kansas will
produce as great results. As much of
the failure in crops in Kansas is due to
failure in farming as to unreasonable
weather. The thrifty, careful, good
farmer in Kansas has no kick to make.
Ii he has had experience in other states
Kansas loses nothing by the comparison.
If careful, truthful statement of the
actual condition of Kansas today could
be placed in the hands of the people Of
the United States and they made to I'M
derstaBd that they were facts, the state
would be taken in the next five years.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
Having at all times well wishes for

mercially and in all other high and
praiseworthy respects, il affords me ex-
IRENE pleasure to advise the readers of
the EAGLE that have been in receipt of
positive intelligence from Washington
that the Cheyenne and Arapahoe, Wich-
tia and other Indian reservations to the
west of Oklahoma proper win very soon
be thrown open to settlement by execu-
tive proclamation, and in view OF this
fact desire to make this suggestion TO
the wholesale merchants of Wichita: that
as these lands lie near the line of the
Rock Island railroad ample facilities will
be afforded them of aggrandizing their
commercial interests by shipping their
wares to these lands when the same are
declared open TO settlement. They can
compete successfully with Kansas City
as the fifth class freight has been re-
duced on all goods coming under that
schedule.

KANSAS AS SHE IS.

The actual condition of the state OF
Kansas is less understood than that of
any western state. Agricultural reports
and crop averages seem TO cut but little
figure. The average eastern man will
argue and harp upon Kansas as a grass
hopper-ridden state, when as matter of
fact that pest has visited the state but
once in twenty-five years. During the
past fifteen years, or since Kansas has
taken any rank IS an agricultural state
her crops have suffered less from insects
and climatic causes than the most favor
ed of the central agricultural states. The
farmers of southern Illinois have repeat
edly los. their crops, and accounts of
their sufferings and privations have
been published 10 the world. And vet,
that grand state lost none of her reputa-
ton: but let there be drouth or u
county seat fight on the extreme western
border of Kansas and the whole state is
condemned.

the past ten years advanced from ten 10

there is but little difference in the
