KINGM AN NEWS.
KINGMAN, KAN. June 20

KINGMAN, KAN, June 90.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Freddy, the little 2-year old son OF
j. F. Doyle, one of Kingman's principal
hardware men, fell from the porch oil
the family residence, on avenue c, east
yesterday, and broke Lis left arm below
the elboa.
The Methodist folks in South Kingman
are having very interesting camp
meeting. Their large tabernacle, which
was erected last Thursday, is crowded
every night, and present indications
point TO very successful series of meet
ings. The meeting is under the manage
ment Of Rev. Farrell of the Kingman
circuit, who is ably assisted by Evan
gelist Glasscock from Cincinnati
Fred Smith, one of our enterprisino
grocers, is visit ing his old home in Ohio.
During his absence Capt. G.. p Rodman
has charge of his business.
F. A, Parsons, cashier of the Farmers
and Drovers bank, along with his wife.
returned Saturday from an extended
visit through Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa. Mr.. Parsons in conversation with
your correspondent this morning, ex-
pressed qualification over his return to
Kansas, where he claimed the crops of
all kinds were at least three weeks ahead
of those of either of the states named
above.
A goodly number of the Peoples party
advocates IN Kingman and vicinity feel
sore over the work Of their convention
at Wichita last week. Mr.. Snyder. has a
large circle of admirers in the ranks of
that party here who feel that he was not
treated right in the congressman at
large deal. But Snyder does not alto
gether favor fusion, and that being the
case, 1t was necessary for him to step
aside in the interest of Demagogy.
Wheat harvest began in deep earnest
in this county this morning. From IN
dications at this time the yield in this
county will lie from three to four bush
els more per acre this year than last.
This would give an acreage yield of from
nineteen to twenty bushels per acre the
county over this year.
The Episcopal society are fast complet-
ing arrangements for the erection Of a
church editice on Spruce street in this
CITY.
sa;urday was one of the busiest days
witnessed on the streets of kingman for
some time. Farmers were in from all
directions and as a result of their COM
ing large number of harvesters We're
taken to the country during the day.
j. G.. Mcclellan and Charley Sample
left for Chicago Saturday. Joe goes as
Il delegate to the convention while
Charley it is said is thinking that Jerry
Simpsons district includes Chicago, went
along TO talk up Jerry's interests in that
balliwick.
Kingman has number of Democrats
in her borders who are opposed to the
fusion idea and who are not backward
in asserting that if the leaders fix up
fusion bait these same leaders may as
well prepare to do all the bobbing of the
cork themselves.

The people of our neighboring city of
Wellington were very reluctant to call
upon the public for assistance after their
fair city had been devastated by the
tornado of last month, and only did so
after a careful estimate was made of the
losses and it was found that the burden
was more than their own people with
their crippled resources could bear. The
call being thus made, the responses were
prompt and generous and the necessities
of the stricken community met and re-
lieved. And the moment this point was
reached the relief committee proclaimed
1T is enough" The manly and courag-
eous actions of those people throughout
will cause all who aided them to fell
glad to know that their benefactions
were so worthily bestowed.

Those who know him say that Dr.
Wharton, the famous candidate for con-
gress in the Fourth district, was post
master at Yates under Cleveland, and
that he is an untiring, unscrupulous,
wire pulling, trading. anything-to-beat-
the-Republicans politician. The ALI
ance of that district were convinced that
they could not re-elect Otis, and in
order to defeat the Republican candidate
they are willing to forsake their party
organization, abandon their principles
and surrender Internationally TO the
Democrats. And yet the Peoples party
leaders proclaim that they care nothing
for the offices; that the maintenance of
their principles is the great incentive to
action with that party.

Ell Reno Eagle: There can no longer be
any doubt that the Frisco railroad is to be
extended westward from Sapulpa. The
Santa Fe company, which controls the
Frisco, has secured the $4,000. 600 required
for the extension, and the work will prob
ably be begun soon. Judge Martin, who
is understood to be one of the principal
officers of the line, is in the city, and the
fact that he has signified his intention to
buy SOC, 600 worth CT lots here is only an
other indication that Ell Reno is to be made
point on the line, and that he has firm
faith in the city's future.

The most perfect illustration of the
aphorism about the whipped spaniel was
never given than that manifested by
John n. Ives, the Alliance attorney gen.
eral and candidate for the nomination
for governor. His party not only sat
down upon and crushed out his aspira-
tons for preferment, but it condemned
and denounced him for doing what he
claims was his solemn duty as an official.
And yet he returns TO lick the hand that
smote him down: he announces his
willingness to go upon the stump aud
advocate the election of the ticket named
by the same convention that slaughtered
him without cause. Il Is doubtful that
his services will be called for. If his
party believed him dishonest and deceit
full about the railroad assessment matter,
how can it trust him anywhere, especial
ly in a campaign?

PROTECTION GIVES BETTER GOODS.

That the effects of our protective tariff
system has been to cheaper the articles
of our own manufacture to the consum-
ers of this country, has been so clearly
demonstrated that the most preSump-
tious free trader dare not assert to the
contrary. But the absence of a denial.
they know, is taken by the thinking peo-
pie of the country as half confession OF
the truth Of the statement, and in order
to checkmate and counteract the satisfy
ing effects of the system upon the peo-
pie, the free traders resort to the disin-
genuous and untrue representation or
the quality of American manufactures
compared with foreign, alleging that the
American manufacturer takes advan-
tage OF tie import duties on articles of
foreign make and produces inferior
goods which he forces upon the consum-
erS of this country. In complete refuta-
ton of this statement and in proof that
the very reverse of the assertion is true,
the Dry Goods Economist, the oldest,
most reliable and fairest trade journal,
says:
In domestic production there never
before were employed as much skill and
as great amount OF brain power as dur
ing the present seas, II. The result Is
shown in the goods on the market, which
in many instances are quite equal to the
