a CAMPAIGN OF ISLANDER.

Take the lie and the misrepresen-
tation out of the calamity campaign and
there would be nothing left. As for the
EAGLE being responsible for or having
doomed the addition craze" to Wichita.
there is not a resident of the CITY, who
lived here at that time, that does not
know that this paper discountenanced
all additions, its editor personally going
to the proprietors and spectators and
not only arguing against such foolish
ness but threatening to write such
articles as would knock the bottom out
of them, which he was finally compelled
to do, and in face of threats against his
life and property. Such a lie is only
equalled by the Oak street bridge howl,
another outrageous lying nlisrepresenta-
ton. He who attacks the EAGLE. or its
editor, on the score of unselfish and de-
voted work for Wichita advertises him
self for fool. Nobody but calamitvite
would be guilty of such blunder. Even
the most pronounced and incorrigible
Democrats have never criticised the
EAGLE on that score. Some of these
calamity hirelings anu hangers on would
not stop TO defame the most sacred rela-
tions or to blast reputation if by such a
course they could succeed 70 little brief
authority and ill-gotten gains.

AS heretofore John Peter, the Saint,
has taken the stump in behalf of the
Democratic party, though under the
guise of the fourth party Prohibs. He
has amplified the scope of the plan of
campaign, too, and now adds calamity
and an anarchistic wall. When Judas
realized what his infamy had wrought,
the narrative tells us he went out and
hanged himself after throwing the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of his treach-
cry, down at the feet of his employers.
But herein the Saint is unlike his no.
torious prototype; he received and used
for his own personal benefit, the price
of his former sell-outs, and comes back
again to renew the compact.

A mania for Office is disease, bad
disease; a disease while it units him for
the private walks of life also units him
for the position of Office holding. We
don't want diseased men in office, and as
soon as the mania appears the patient
should be removed as far as possible from
the temptation. Some men seem born
that way, and as they grow older it grows
so that finally they want every office in
sight.
The foregoing, from the Alliance Ga
Zette, is true in part, and if applied
strictly to the party that paper repre-
sents, both the party and the paper
would go out of business at once-there
would be no incentive to act nor excuse
for the party's existence.

THE PRIC OF WHEAT.

The following figures from the Journal
of Finance certainly do not denote lower
prices for wheat, but indicate that Kan
sas with her great wheat yield is in high
feather this year: "It is figured that the
American crop will be 81, 900, 900 bushels
less than last year, Australasia 5000, coo
bushels less, India 50, 900, 900 bushels less
and England 1900, 900 bushels less-a
total shortage of $4,000, 900 bushels. The
increases allowed are France 100000
bushels, Austria-Hungary 10000, 600
bushels, the balance of Europe and the
Argentine Republic 100000 bushels
and increase of 70, 900, 900 to be deducted
from the 5000, 900 bushels shortage in
the balance of the world. Russia is ex-
pected to ship no more than the 90, 0OO,-
600 bushels shipped last year before the
prohlbitory edict went into effect.

For the Eagle.

know of a place in a meadow,
a place that is lonesome and still.
Where the willows wave over the water.
And the grasses wave over the hill.
The great old gray cotton-woods rustic,
With metallic GOODNESS of sound,
The leaves flicker over the water,
And new form of silePce is formed.
In the noise of loosened leaf falling,
In the reeds whisper over the stream,
And the willow-bredes dip in the water,
With music as sad as a dream.
The creamy white elder bush blossoms.
Nod drowsily fragrant and sweet.
And lean to look down in the water.
That softly slips by at their feet.
Where shadows lie thickest ard coolest,
The cows stand content in the brook,
Above them two plaintive dove voices,
Talk love in leaf hidden nook.
o. the sweet lonesomeness Of the meadow,
Where the willow wands wave in the wind
Close, close to thy heart mother nature,
There is rest for the body and mild.
In the infinite deeps of thy calmness,
In that untroubied spirit of thine.
That is part of the things that live near thee
But the lesson they taught-that is mine.

the Northwest Financier,

From the Northwest Financier.
A few days ago the receiver Of the
Western Farm Mortgage Trust company
collected mortgage on property in
Wichita, Kan, in full with compound
interest. 1t had run five years and not
a dollar of interest had been paid. Ten
interest coupons were past due, all of
which were paid with interest on inter-
est. Surely Wichita Is not dead yet, and
does not propose to die, but has only
been taking a short sleep. Her sur
rounding country is the finest agricul-
tural country in the west. The rich
surrounding fields and farms-the open
ing up and settlement of the new terri
tory south, in the Indian country, is re-
viving the trade and Importance of the
city. Wichita will yet grow and prosper
and return to and eclipse her former
glory,

TOO MUCH FAITH.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
We read of a certain man who was
swallowed by large fish and after 5erv-
ing out proper penalty for his offence
was vomited out whole without any
change, except in his purposes of doing
as he was commanded. But this, we
should remember was miracle aud
should not be expected at this dav and
in ordinary cases. Hence, our Demo-
cratic friends are certainly stretching
their faith beyond all reasonable bounds
in supposing that after being swallowed
by the Alliance party, they will come
out whole on dry land and find any
place for repentance. Better not take
such fearful risks brethren, but if you do
come out at all III proper shape, it will
be where the water is too deep to wade
out. AS for me, brethren, | am too
limid to stretch my faith to much.
JOHN NASBY.

A HEAP OF GALL

1t takes heap of gall to get up a
calamity howl in the face of the prices
that farmers are now getting for every
thing they raise, especially when those
prices are compared with those the
farmer pays for the things he must buy
of the merchant and the manufacturer.
Everything is cheap, very cheap, except
what must be bought of the farmer.
Take for instance the price of butter. of
spring chickens, of eggs, of all kinds of
fruits, of nearly every kind of vegetable,
of mutton and of hog meats and all
these things are commanding boom
prices. Take roasting ears, cabbage,
cucumbers, onions, corn, all command
ing good prices, with spring
chickens at seventy-five cents per
pair, the present Wichita price, and
nobody but loafing town demogogue
itching for office is able to evolve the
necessary gall for such howl. In short
the farmer of Sedgwick county is better
off than the average man in Wichita, as
is the average farmer of south Kansas
better off than the average citizen, be
he professional man, business man or
mechanic of the towns and cities.
The secret of all the howl heard in the
state of Kansas can be found in the
make up of the Peoples party and Demo-
Alliance tickets. The nominees of these
tickets are old, slick, sly political hacks,
every one of them, who are working the
farmers and working the labor unions
for all that is in them, working them
with howl based on prejudice and
by hope of Office.

THEY SIMPLY HOWL.

Some of the Democratic newspapers pro-
fess to be greatly alarmed for fear A.
w. Smith is q railway magnate in dis
guise In view of the tact that one OF the
Democratic newspapers aforesaid has
sold its railway passes contrary to the ad-
vertising contracts and has sold out its
telegraph privilege ION the quiet" and
put the money in its own pocket, it may
be on the inside far enough to know just
how many railways Nh. Smith owns.-
Atchison Champion.
The charge that A. w. Smith, who
helped to harvest large fields of wheat
and oats this year, and who has large
acreage of corn now growing, which he
helped put in with his own hands, is
railway magnate, railway tool, or that
he has anything more to do with the rail-
ways Of the state than any other candi-
date, or any other farmer, is hog wash,
dished up by the fusion and the calamity
papers, which will drown them in the
end. The true and only farmers ticket
in the field, is the Republican ticket.
The other tickets are made up of lawyers,
commission merchants and middle men,
of preachers and professional politicians.
and everybody that knows anything,
knows that to be the unvarnished fact.
Speaking of railway passes, the whole
calamity-fusion outfit, who in their plat
form denounce, the pass system, are all
travelling on passes, from Lewelling
down. One of the nominees of that
ticket took his pass the other day and
added an SIS" to the ''AIr." and his wife
went travelling on it. Talk about good
faith and fhonesty. There is one thing
certain, no one need look into that crowd
of fusion horses expecting to find either.
They all simply howl against the Re
publican party.

For the Eagle
INGRATITUDE.

The myrtle vine creeps in its lowly bed,
Dark cypress trees tower over its head:
The cool sparkling brook al the mountain
foot,
Casting a sweet smile and graceful look
At the sunny peak in the misty clouds,
Grateful that the sun melts its snowey
shroud;
And evergreen myrtle vine smiles anew
AT the tree for shade on mountain for dew,
The birds OF the air and beasts of the field,
Bless the arm that protects the hand that
shields,
But ungrateful man in anger and scorn,
Alone curses God who created his form,
Feeds and shelters him with bountiful hand,
Protects, defends, gave this beautiful land,
Would redeem, save him from sorrow and
pain,
Give JOY eternal in heavens domain.

Many farmers in the eastern states
VINO have sold out at good figures are
coming into central and western Kansas
where they can buy cheaper and set up
again with cash surplus. And. by the
way, this movement of itself is a good
send off for the more western portions
of the state for most of these farmers
have been in Kansas before and their
new investments are based on actual
knowledge of the productiveness of this
section. And it may be added there
will never be a better year for invest
ment in Kansas fertile farming lands.
That the tendency of prices viii be
steadily upward for the next FIVE years
is the Judgment of every well posted
and observant person. Coed lands as
in the ''corn belt" will never be worth
less than at present. They are sure to
be worth great deal more, and it is
our judgement that no better investment
can be made during the present year,
than in Kansas farm.

lost prestige, Simpson the other day
asked unanimous consent to
call up the bill in the house, well know
ing that there was not the remotest
chance for favorable action. In his re-
marks he made bold charge that the
interior department was connlvIng at

tary Noble answered the assault in a

duced today was put at the foot of the
