THE COMBINATION.
GRANT TOWNSHIP.
July Is, 1892.

GRANT TOWNSHIP.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
A few days ago one of our Grant town
business house at Valley Center, the
proprietor of which is Peoples party
man, and soon thereafter a certain we'll
known Sedgwick county Democrat came
in. accompanied by a young looking
boy, and who the proprietor introduced
to the Redublican as the Peoples party
candidate for county attorney, and at
the same time jestingly said to the Re-
publican, ''you viii of course vote with
Us this time" and to which the unscrupu-
lous Republican replied in the affirma-
tive The proprietor, and who for short
we will cali Rob, and the Democrat
forthwith repaired to the rear end of the
room and engaged in a low conversation,
presumably making preliminary ar
engagements to save the country, leaving
the innocent uncontaminated boy in
charge of the corrupt Republican, and
between which the following converse
ton took place Boy-"Where do you
live Mr.. R? La Grant township.
B-You are Democrat suppose? R.
Yes from start TO finish. B-That's
good, I'm Democrat too. R.-How
then does it happen that you are Peo-
pies party candidate for county attor-
ney? Bob you see we are forming a
combination ticket and the Democrats
will hold county convention and NOM
mate me for the Office and the Peoples
party will then endorse me on their tick
ct and in this manner can mutually as
sist one another; do you see? R-Yes l
see but what's the matter with Amldon,
| have all the while thought that he
would be our candidate for that office:
B.-Oh no, Amidon is not III it, all the
Democrat portion of the Wichita bar are
opposed to him and he don't have ghost
of show. Just at this point, and to
the great regret of the Republican the
boy excused himself and hastily joined
Rob and his guardian leaving the Re
pubiian to wonder as to what would be-
come of our beloved country if it were
not for the mugwump un-keeieyized
portion of Kansas Democracy and their
calamity bowling allies. LONG JOHN.

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

Two of the most prominent questions
today in national politics are the Indian
problem and the question of how far tire
government shall aid internal improve
mentS. The American Academy OF
Political and Social Science, Philadel-
phia, has recently published two mono
graphs which discuss these two questions
in a scientific and Instructive manner.
The one is by Professor T. W. Blackmar,
of the University of Kansas, and Is en-
titled, Indian Education" the other. on
River and Harbor Bills" is by Mr..
Emory r. johnson.
Professor Blackn,ar shows that the
only salvation Cor the Indian is to educate
all the Indian children, teaching
each some particular trade or
profession and after they are
educated to keep them if POSI-
bic inside the pale of civilization and not
send them back to the reservation,
where they are more than likely to drift
back into barbarism.
Mr.. johnson defends river and harbor
legislation and shows that much good
has been done by river and harbor APP
propriatious in the past, and that if the
plans for improvements cow under way
b.. carried out. the commercial, agricul-
turai and manufacturing interests will
be still more greatly benefited IN tie
future.
These essays contain much food for
thought. The price of Professor Blck-
mars Is y cents and of Mr.. Johnsons Is
30 cents

The Democratic house of representa-
tives has ordered 10000 copies of the
force bill printed. As no such bill is now
pending there can be but one object in
the order. The Democratic members
desire to use it as campaign document.
Rather pretty pass when the people
are called upon to pay for Democratic
campaign literature. But 1t is an old
trick of that party. When in power
once upon a time they stole all the
money the government had outright, also
the governments forts, arsenal, arms
and navy. That party in Kansas is now
trying to steal another political party
outright,

What huge joke and farce that in
terstata commission are anyway. Their
time and brains are entirely employed IN
the interest of the railroads, but when
once in a while they happen to stumble
onto some question the answer to which
might embaTrass the railways If such
answer is refused, the commissioners ad-
journ to some other point. The inter
state law is the essence of corporate i'm
pudence, the crystaiization of corporate
power. As for the commissioners, its
tools, they are too utterly insignificant
to notice, except when in their high
handed decisions in favor of their mas
ters they embarrass the commercial in
terests of the country. We suppose 1t is
not generally known, but it is true, that
the sugar rate at Wichita was fixed by
that commission, they basing the rate
on cargo of sugar that was some years
ago shipped from the Sandwich Islands
by the way of the horn to New York,
thence by rall to St. Louis, to which cost
the local rate WAS added.

Care of Eggs For Matching.

Because eggs addle when kept too
warm, aud soon spoil when kept III
hot weather, there is a widely
prevalent notion that for any pur
pose they should be kept as cold as
possible without freezing. This Is
IA serious mistake if eggs so kept
are to be used for Matching. The
germ of lie in the egg is sensitive
to cold from the first, We know
experienced poultry breeders who
make IA rule to set the eggs the
same day they are laid, and with
out losing their original warmth
even for few hours. They claim
that the chicks from such eggs are
stronger and livelicr than if kept
several days before setting. Laying
eggs on tin or earthenware plates
in "a cold room destroys the vitality
of the chicks, and is often an I'M
suspected cause of eggs failing to
| hatch.

FARM. GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
Our Wooden Industry.

Notwithstanding 1880 was an an
usually prosperous year for the
wool manufacturing industries Of
the country and 1890 one of the
elimination of the disasters arising
from the errors of the act of 1883
and the increase of importations,
yet the census statistics, just an
nounced by the superintendent OF
the census, show most remarkable
progress of the in iustrles of this
country in the last decade.
The number of wool nanufactnr
ing establishments i'll the United
States in 1880 was 2GS0, with a
capital of $l59, 500 and the
value of the product S267 20, 1913
The number of WOODEN mills i'll
1890 was 2S67 with capital OF
1924 ,535, 2i1, and the value of the
product S345, 942, 824-an increase
of nearly 80 per cent. in value OF
product, and as the value per year
declined in the decade, an increase
of 40 per cent. in yards.
The growth of the WOODEN indus
| try in Maine has been about the
same as the average in the whole
country, although the growth has
been in the enlargement of existing
mills rather than the construction
of new mills.
In 1880 there were 81 wooden
mills in Maine, with capital OF
S4,016,S28, using materials that
cost S4,44i, $50, and producing
goods valued at Sc, 9G2,003
In 1890 there were 81 woolel
mills in Maine, with a capital o
| S9,741 ,422, using materials valued
at So, 737, 4S4, and producing goods
valued at S8,S57,o56.
Pennsylvania is the largest pro
Queer of wooden goods in the coun
try, her product having been val
ued at S67, S2l ,:397 in 1880 and $50
992,210 in 1890.
Massachusetts comes next, witt
a product of S67 ,451 800 in 1880
and of $74,2 1867 in 1890. New
York comes third, with product
of S53 9O9,G24 in 1890. Rhode Is
land fourth. with a product Of S36,
O73,2s in 1890; and Connecticut
fifth, with a product fS2l 49,, OPS
in the same year. New Hampshire
had a product Of sll,5s9 l42; and
Vermont 1882 7s4. The aggre-
gate value of the wooden manufac-
lures of New Englnad was $159,

Too Many Sheep In a Flock

Sheep have the habit of budding
together and this perhaps is one
reason why they do better in small
flocks than in large ones. Those
who begin keeping sheep ought to
try a small one first, and increase
it as they gain experience in sheep
management. There is hardly a
farm however small, where a few
sheep cannot be kept with profit. A
few will seem to chink in and cost
almost nothing for feed. Enlarge
the flock to 100, and they will eat
down pastures SO that nothing else
can get bite, and make it neces-
sary to stable and feed horses and
milch cows all Summer. Sheep
will get their living where other
stock would starve, but it does not
pay to try to pasture them with
any other class of domestic animals,

AT the meeting OF the Taxpayers
Union at Waterville Wednesday
among the letters read were the
following:
Augusta, March 8, 1892
Hon. B. Walker McKeen, Secretary
My Dear Sr:-I thank you very
sincerely for your kind invitation to
attend the meeting of the Taxpay-
ers Protective Union tomorrow and
very much regret that pressure of
official business will prevent it's ac-
ctptance.
AS have twice urged at some
length, upon the Legislature of
Maine the Importance of such re-
adjustment of the public burdens
as would, in SO far as possible, re-
lieve citizens from the present in
capabilities of our tax system, / feel
that need at this time only to reit-
crate what l said on those occas
sions. In every way in my power |
have sought to advance the reforms
| have thus publicly advocated. The
people of Maine have had ample
opportunity to know exactly where
| stand upon this matter.
believe that a very large
amount of property in our State is
now escaping its just share of the
public burdens. The tendency Of
our present system has been to
make these burdens fall with great
est weight where in all Justice they
should rest the lightest. In my in
augural address of 1889 after call
ing attention to the marked discrep.
ancy between the State valuation
and the one accorded us by the nat
ional census, said: Our own State
valuation finds too large proper
ton of our property in the farms of
the State and makes the farmers
pay an undue share of the general
taxes. On the other hand, the val
uation of the United States census
takes cognizance of the less tangi-
blt but more profitable investments
which escape their fair share Of
the common burdens. If there
should be a closer inquiry into other
forms of property than the real es-
tate, taxation could be more equit-
ably distributed and more exact
Justice could be done to all citizens
alike, which is indeed the highest
duty of state government.
In 1891 again called the atten-
ton of the Legislature to the alto.

tween the portions of the public
burdens borne by real and personal
property, and urged a careful con

No one regretted more
deeply than myself that an adjourn
ment was had without definite
action upon this important matter.
l certainly believe that justice
and fairness demand some radical
changes in our present tax system
and l shall do everything in my
power to assist in bringing them
about at the earliest possible mo-
ments.
Sincerely yours,
EDWIN q. BURLEIGH
