A FARCICAL TRAGEDY.

From tho Fort Scott Monitor
The farcical tragedy of the year is the
indictment of the Homestead workmen
for treason. 1t is farcIcal because chief
justice promotes it, and promotes it by a
definition of treason that has no paral-
lei anywhere. 1t is made law by a
judge on the bench. 1t has no counter
part or precedent anywhere.
Treason is warning against the state,
seeking by force to overthrow the gov
eminent.
The chief justice of Pennsylvania
says that treason is depriving a manu-
featuring establishment of some of its
privileges.
In every law suit the parties seek to
obtain what they have been unlawfully
deprived of, and consequently the fellow
who gets beat has been, according to this
chief justice, guilty of treason.
This is a serious matter, because the
law thus declared is from the highest
court in the state, and from which there
is no appeal. What the result may be no
one can venture to say. 1t will certainly
be watched with interest.
1t might be said that if any one IS
guilty of treason, it would be him who
brought armed men into the state to war
against the people.

The acceptance by Henry Watterson
of the invitation to deliver the dedica-
tory address at the Columbian EXPOSE
ton at Chicago next Friday. vice W. c.
2. Breckenridge declined, will nip in the
bud the little scheme proposed by the
Louisville Times, to have the three mem
bers from Kentucky on the worlds fair
board of managers resign, and this to be
followed by the formal withdrawal of
that state from any participation in the
great exposition, if such thing had
been seriously considered by the repre-
sentatives of that state. As before
stated the issue between Mr.. Breckin-
ridge and the fair managers and the
city press of Chicago, was purely per-
sonai, ana for the great state of Ken
lucky to have taken any such action as
that suggested by the Louisville paper.
would have been to place the state in
the most ridiculous attitude before the
country and the world. Mr.. Watterson
will fill the bill and will not disappoint
his friends and the expectant public.

WHO IS LEWELLiNG7

The EAGLE early in the campaign
asked the question, "Who is Lewelling:"
and was criticised by some Of his adj
herants as being unfair. 1t is safe to say
that no man ever ran for the office of
governor Of the state of Kansas about
whom the question could so pertinently
be asked. The citizens of Wichita are
asked the question wherever they go,
and not one lie ten can give even vague
answer. Mr.. Leweling is not in the
slightest sense a representative citizen Of
Wichita. He never participated in any
meeting the object of which was to adj
vance the material interests of our city.
He never contributed a dollar of the
hundreds of thousands that our people
so generously gave for the institutions
that have added so largely to our i'm
portance as city. In fact, he took no in
terest in the affairs of the community
in which he lived until he was nomina.
ted for governor. What interest can
such a man have in the upbuilding of
Kansas? A man does not change his
nature in moment: he is not born
again because lightning happens to
strike him in the shape of nomination
for the highest office within the gift of
the people of a state.
Mr.. Lewelling wants to be governor
for what there is in it for himself, and
it is well to ask the question as to who
and what he is? Kansas wants man
for governor who will unselfishlv per-
form the duties of the office; one who is
identified with her growth and develop
ment, and not after the salary and per-
quisites alone.

If Leweillng is elected we are told it
will not be six months before it will be a
lnisdemeanor to ride on pass. If it is
a crime under law, it is a crime in
morals to ride on pass without law.
To obtain money under false pretenses
in amount less than twenty dollars Is
said by many lawyers not to be distinct
ly prescribed as a crime under our
statutes. Does the law that defines the
crime and fixes the penalty, make the
crime, or does the crime exist as fact
without the law? The man who takes
briSe and jlstifies himself as did Lord
Bacon, by acting as though no bride had
been given, will find few to accept his
apology. He who believes 1.-The free
dom of American sovereignty" is en-
dangered by accepting pass puts

Now that the production of tin plate
as a practical and profitable industry in
the United States has been abundanlly
demonstrated, it is the universal wish
that the quality of that article of prime
proved. That which has been furnish
ed to the people for long time, and which
has been of foreign production, has
been of exceeding poor quality much of it.
Americans demand the best, and Ameri-
can manufacturers furnish that quality,

Lincoln, Chase and Grant are "men
whose memory we revere and whose
souls have long since passed into the
great beyond" Thus writes Kies. In
his effort in joint debate with Judge
Museller, he occupied quite the whole of
his time denouncing the outrageous
measures of legislation favored and APP
proved by these men. His paper Is full
of the ''iniquities of the last thirty
years." Lincoln and Grant were con-
spirators to enslave the American people,
or the ''seven conspiracies. and all the
little whipper-snapper followers here
abouts are liars by the watch.

To the great disappointment and dis
may of the Democracy Hon. James G.

he said it. And this is not ALL he will b..
heard again before the campaign closes.

turning Mr.. Billings was instructed by
Mr.. Stearns to drive his horse home and

choked himself to death. Mr.. Stearns
valued it at about 800.

savings bank, where he has served as
president and first director for long
