The morning organ claims that Colonel
Bean is ineligible and that he cannot.take
q part in the organization OF the next
house. The best answer to this Is furnish
ed by President Lincoln who in reply to
such al objection said that the people
would seat any man whom they had elect
ed-Beacon.
Mr.. Lincoln's remark had no relevancy
to such a case at that in question. He
had reference to the election or eligible
candidates under the constitution and
laws. To apply the statement TO the case
in point would be TO make the mar.
tyred patriot and statesman favor the
abrogation of constitutions and laws,
the very counterpart of his genius and
inspiration, which the "glm well
knows if it knows anything.

A few years ago Henry Watterson
predicted, through the columns of the
Courier Journal, that in comparative
ly short time from that date pig IRON
would be produced in the south, at a
profit, for 100 and less per ton-it was
selling in Pittsburg at that time for
about $1,000. the lowest price at which
it had eyer been sold and as low as it
was thought possible to be produced in
the Pennsylvania iron regions. Not only
has the prediction been verified, but the
Chattanooga Tradesman calls attention
to the fact that pig iron is lower there
than in England and that IN short
time we will be exporting pig iron to
that country. When that time comes,
as it will no doubt, the English will feel
more than ever like kicking themselves
for not recognizing the independence of
the Confederacy in the early sixties.
Had they done so they would have had
that section as free market for their
manufactures not only, but would not
have rival there in industrial produc-

The free traders stock argument
against the Mckinley tariff law is that it
protects and greatly benefits the eastern
manufacturer at the expense of the con-
sumers of the country and without bene-
fiji to the great agricultural community.
Let's See how that is. Three of the most
profitable crops that farmers raise are
cabbage, onions and potatoes. For the
twelve months Immediately prior to date
when the present tariff law went into
effect, the imports of cabbage were 1885,
260 heads; of onions 575, $40 bushels; of
potatoes 5,340, 26O bushels. For the last
twelve months the imports were: cab
bage 20, 100 heads; onions $50. 800 bushels,
and potatoes 1871 bushels; which
shows that the law has had the effect of
securing. at home, market for 5,142,-
STA bushels of potatoes, rs, 40 heads of
cabbage, and $3.50 bushels of onions
more the past year than could be dis
posed of the year before. And so we
might SO through almost the entire list
of farm, orchard and garden products.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

The special invitation extended to
Hon. A. A. Harris and William NJ
Mitchell to address the citizens of
Wichita on tomorrow evening, the 9th
inst, has been accepted by both those
gentlemen, and they will be here at that
time. The Crawford opera house has
been secured for the meeting, and all
who wish to hear the political issues
discussed from straight Democratic
standpoint by able and representative
speakers, the equals of any in that party
in the state, are invited to be present.
The ladies are specially invited.

The recupcrative powers of France is
a marvel. Her last conflict with Prussia
left her PROSTATE, physically and financ-
tally. Today her financial condition is
the best on the continent, while her mill
tary strength is practically equal to that
of the German army. The prestige in
favor of the French is accounted for
very readily in the fact that that country
has most vigorously husbanded Its re-
sources-carried its own debt, depended
almost wholly upon itself for all sup
plies, charging outsiders good prices for
the privilege of selling goods within its
territory, and above all In retaining its
people at home. Whereas, in regard to
this last feature, there has been con-
slant and heavy drain upon the German
empire, losing as it has, many thousands
of its best citizens for the military SER
vice every year. At is present rate of
growth, continuing for another decade,
France will again take the lead among
the nations of Europe.

In the early history of Kansas, in its
territorial days, Horace Greeley made a
visit to the then territory and in the
convention at OSsawatomie, the organ
ization of the Republican party, he
made speech in which he declared his
undying faith in the principles and pur-
poses of the Republican party and their
triumph, and in that darks anG uncer-
tain day he admonished Kansas Repub.

flying as long as there should be Reput

time should ever come when the flag
must go down he urged that it be burn.

ashes be mingled with that of those
who had become martyrs to the cause OF
human liberty and human rights. That
banner has never trailed, and it will be
borne at the head of the victorious Re
publican column on and after Nov. 8,

For the Eagle.
CHANGED.

stood on mountains misty brow,
And saw the storm-clouds lowering:
felt the force of mighty wind
My senses overpowrring.
A shelter was found, where safe from harm,
Viewed the scene appalling!
Loud thunders roared; bright ightnings
flashed
In torrents rain was falling.
Where erst had been seen but smooth. green
turf,
With blossoms therein upspringing-
The side of the mountain lay all torn,
And birds had ceased their singing.
I've passed, like the mountain, thro' a
storm
Old trusts and faith lie shattered:
look for them vainiy-they are gone,
Like leaves the wind has scattered.
But yerdure new to the mountain side
Will come with springs returning;
And truth will ere long have brought me
thro'
The lessons I've been learning.

The decision of the United States SUI

The decision of the United States su-
preme court, chuckles the confusion or
gans in discordant chorus, means that
az least six or eight of the electoral
votes of Michigan will be cast for Cleve-
land and Stevenson" SO it NAV, but
the departure from the long established
and uniform practice throughout the
country, of choosing electors by the
popular vote of the entire state, will not
avail to defeat the popular patriot and
statesman, Benjamin Harrison.

Jerry Simpson il simply q dangerous
nan to any community. All his per-
sonal influence is against lawful govern
ment. The Dalton boys are as good as
the best in his opinion. BE holds to
convictions that are detrimental to
Christianity, and TO church influences,
consequently to morality. He is the
champion of every man whose hand is
against every other mans. He misrep-
resents Kansas. her people, her senti-

bic for such an adventurer TO speak for
the Great Arkansas valley in the halls of

honey getters las recently been introduced
from Cyprus. When the Venetians owned
the island 10000 hives were kent there
Teopie used honey for sugar in those DAYS.
Now there are only 10000 hives, owing to
oppressive taxes levied upon the industry
by the Turks. The residents are usuallv
unwilling to sell any of their bees, beiiey-
ing that those left behind will fly away
after the ones which are disposed of
Accordingly the purchaser is commonly
obliged to buy fifty hives in order to secure
hity queens. This is apt to be a bore.
DR.. Benton found it so on one occasion
when he tried to carry number of earth
enware hives across country on mule bacl,
Some OF the hives We're broken bv an acct
