JUST LET THEM DARE.

1t is intimated by Kansas City paper
that at minority meeting of the Nilsson
ri Freight association it was taciuy
agreed that the late decision of the State
Railway commission, giving interior
cities of Kansas an equitable rate, would
be ignored. The EAGLE desires to say to
these hired men and plant tools of the
railway corporations that il anything of
the kind is attempted that within
tiers, owners and abbetors viii repent in
sackcloth and ashes with such means
from stockholders and directors as will
be pitIlul. The decision was
not only eminently just, but
such as commended itself to
every man in Kansas, made by capable
men who had been giving the subject
their best thought for months and made
understandingiy and it will be ignored
only at the peril of every railroad in
Kansas. 1t demands only that which is
fair, so fair that the Kansas City papers
could discover no ground upon which to
attack it, and it must be obeyed.
1t may be, however, that the Kansas
City papers misrepresented the action of
the association, which association itself
is now before the United States courts
with its own life of doubtful tenure.

The Greek Indian law determines per-
sons rights in the nation by the rights of
his mother. while among the most ad-
vanced ChriStianized nations the rights of
the father govern. The Indian law is
based upon the absolute certainty of ma

establishing correctly ones paternity. 1t
looks as though the Indians have got the
better of the older civilization on that
question.
The FL Reno Eagle gives an account Of
the arrest OF several coal prospectors few
miles west of Fort Reno The old Captain
Paine boomers claimed that abundance
of valuable coal existed from five to
twenty miles west OF the fort. some of
them asserting that it was well known
that seven foot vein of coal had been dug
through by them, and carefully covered
up so rs TO keep the mine from being dis
covered until the land can be secured by
mining company, which we learn is
secretly organized and waiting to take
hold One of the company is an expert
enced and well known geologist of recog
nized authority, who pronounces these
coal fields superior to those of Lehigh or
McAlester, both extent and quality OF coal.
In reference to the above arrests the Eagle
says: The men said that they were practi-
cal miners, and that, believing the hill
country southwest of town to be I'M
derlaid with coal. they had done ex-
tensiye prospecting i'll that region.
At the foot of the hill they struck
an 11-inch vein of coal, which they followed
into the hill until it reached depth of
seventeen inches. Then they went onto the
hillside short distance and dug down and
found the vein to be twenty-eight inches
in thickness; and they are confident that
at short distance from where they were
at the time they were arrested there are
from four to six feet of coal.

ABBOTI:5 MISTAKE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
''The Bible Is not infallib;e," so said
DR.. Lyman Abbott in the Church of the
Coventry in New York recently when
speaking on the evolution of the Bible.
He said, Il 90 not wish to shock any
one, but | do wish 10 say for my part l
do not believe the Bible is an lnfallible
book. | believe that it is an inspired
book, but not infallible. There is no
such thing rs infallibihty. By infalIibil-
ity we would mean that the book infalli-
blv communicates 70 the man who reads
the infallible thought Of the man who
writes. We cannot believe this. We
have one infailible Euclid's geometry. 8"
Abbott denies the infalIibility of the
Bible. and then says nothing is infaliible,
and then turns around and denies himself
By saying Euclid's geometry IS infallibie.
Abbott's mistake LAYS in his i'm

Why a Blue Rose Is ImpossihIn.

a florist makes the assertion that a
blue rose is among the impossibilities.
but, while an explanation Of this curl
Gus fact may be equally impossible. he
fails to mention very interesting law
which governs the colorings OF all
flowers. A knowledge Of this law would
save many flower growers hours Of IN
availing and foolish hope. The law is
simply this: The three colors-red, blue
and yellow-neyer all appear in the same
species Of flowers; any two may exist,
but never the third. Thus we have the
red and yellow roses, but no blue; red
and blue verbenas, but no yellow; yell

Family Criticism.

IF mans foes are those Of his own
household. certainly woman's severest
critics are to be found there also. Few
of US realize how surely our words and
actions are being weighed and measured
by the observers. large and small, who
surround US. We are unconscious of
the judgments passed, because they are
usually silent ones. When they happen
to be spoken out instead of only thought
we are taken aback and sometimes ap-
palled at the arraignment and sentence
of which we had been entirely unaware
1t is the privilege of the family critic
to be ruthlessly frank. Politeness Is
unnecessary. and consideration for the
feelings of the condemned one ridicu-
lousy inappropriate. The structures are
given carelessly and freely, and offense
at the plain speaking is a contingency
never imagined.
1T is only Jennie: she always SAYS
what she thinks" No one minds Will

of course. may say anything" And
why, pray?
Children are the most terrible of fam
lily critics. They see so straight. Your
''no" to them means mo" and your
Eyes" Eyes" You cannot deceive them
with half truths or by juggle of words.
They cut through your subterfuge and
convict you at once. Their straightfor-
ward simplicity makes you ashamed of
your falsehood.-Harper's Bazaar.

Valuable Dannsit.

One of the most remarkable of all de-
posts of silver is at the Broken Hill
mines in Australia. At that place the
precious metal is found lying IN an enor-
nous lode.
1t has been suggested by Mr.. George
Sutherland that this great deposit of
silver was left by large salt lake that
has now disappeared, but tracks of
whose former existence are clearly to be
seen.
According to this interesting theory,
the salt lake was formed of imprisoned
ocean water, a large quantity of which
was caught in basin between ranges
of hills when Australia was lifted out Of
the sea. This water gradually leaked
and was evaporated away, leaving de
posts of the mineral and other matter
that it had held in solution.
If this view is correct, the great store
of silver at Broken Hill is a rich gift be
slowed by the sea upon the land; but
man has discovered the precious deposit,
and seized it in bis capacity Of the lord
Of the earth.-Youth's Companion.

It begins TO look like the much talked

electing senators Will take practical
shape in the present congress There Is
evidently strong ana growing senti-
ment in favor OF electing them by direct
vote Of The people, and what gives it
most significance is that il IL not strictly

It may be given more scope than was the
intention or thought of the prime movers

mated that effort viii be made TO alter
the representation from the states in the
senate. The change suggested in this
direction, dat Is, 10 give each state one
senator outright and one additional for

SOUTHWEST KANSAS,

The EAGLE has more than once had oc-
casion to defend Southwest Kansas as a
whole against the wholesale condemna-
ton of tile counties situated in that por-
ton or account of the mIsdeedS Of few
persons, comparatively, in certain local
tiles. The following from the Santa Fe
Monitor in reference to Haskell county
can Just as truly be said, as to moral
conditions and the prevalence of peace
and good order, of most of the counties
in that quarter, and in these respects they
are not behind the older and longer set
tied counties in other parts of the state.
The Monitor says:
There in no more law-abiding people
in the state of Kansas than those which
inhabit this county. And while truth
compels US TO say a large majority of our
people would oppose the reelection of
Judge 30. kin we do not believe there is
man in the county who would harm a
hair of his head. And we further believe
that our people are amply able and will
see that he suffers no bodily harm while
in the discharge Of his duty in our midst
without the aid OF troops. Haskell coun-
~, in proportion TO her population, is
farming more land than any other coun-
ty Ill the state, her people are on the
high road to prosperity and find ample
work at home To keep them busy with
out interfering in the affairs of neighbor-
ing counties Newspaper correspond
ents are much at fault for sending out
uncalled for sensational articles"

this that. when typhoid fever specially

persons to boil all milk used as web as

The Emporia Standard, an Alliance
paper, has the following to say in regard
to the defeat of the Alliance last fall:
Why have the people of Kansas given

setback? Because it had no sooner won
success and power than it was seized
upon by wildbrained ana reckless dema-
gOgues and run it to suit their notions
and crankisms There was an intOler-
ance and bosssm in Alliance methods
