The criticism of Col. Joselyn, in an
other column, of an editorial comment in
yesterdays EAGLE of the attitude of the
democratic farmers Of the SOUTH" as
given by the Atlanta Constitution, is dis
ingenious and unwarranted, in the
main. What the EAGLE said and meant
to express was to condemn the idea Of
sectional and narrow partisan diciation,
such as the Constition plainly declared
to be the determination of the class men
toned, in the matter of free coinage of
silver As to the merits of the coinage
question per Sc and Colonel Joselyn's de-
auctions and conclusions we leave the
reader to judge.

The worst case of gerrymander that
ever occurred in this country was perpe-
tr;lted last year by the legislature OF
Wisconsin. This was one OF the evil
effects of the political hallucination that
transferred the control of the state from
Republican hands into the hands of mon
grel opposition In redistricting the state
into assembly and congressional districts
they ignored county lines and bounda-
ries and parceled out the territory &C.
cording to needs Of the opposition and SO
as to practically disfranchise the largest
number possible of Republicans. But,
thanks to the intelligence and integrity
of the state supreme court, the PERM
cious work wont stand. The court says
the redistricting act is unconstitutional
and void This decision reinstates the
former law and district boundaries, but
it is presumable that the father Of Pecks
bad boy, who is governor of the state,
will convene the legislature in extra ses-
sion to do the gerrymander act over
again.

AN INSULT 70 INTELLIGENCE.

The wholesale grocers Of Kansas City
have assumed a new role in the Kansas
freight fight. They are now appearing
as the champions of the retailers and con-
sumers of Kansas, who, they claim, will
be greatly injured should the commits
sioners' freight rates go into effect. In
order to have the appearance of being
reasonable they submit that the differ
ence between the carload, and less than
carload rate on sugar from the Missouri
river to Kansas points will be so great as
TO work an injury to the smaller buyers
| Such stuff as this is an insult to the III
telligence of the retailers, and there IS
little danger that any of them will be in
tiuenced by it.
In the first place the proposition that a
freight reduction to Kansas viii
injure any of its citizens, whether
they be jobbers, retailers, or consumers,
is absurd on the face of it. There is not
a retail grocer in the state who does not
know that the - cent reduction ordered
in by the commissioners will reduce the
cost of his sugar exactly IS cents on the
sack.
The retailer knows that his Kansas
iobber is only interested in the sugar rate
being reduced from the Missouri river in
so far as such reduction will lower the
through rate. 1t is noticeable that
the Kansas City papers carefully avoid
the real issue, which is the sugar
rate from New Orleans. The interior
jobber is fighting because the rail
roads have been charging him 60
cents per hundred for hauling his
sugar from New Orleans, while for haul
ing his Kansas City competitors sugar
charge of only 80 cents is made, al
though the distance is the same.
The Kansas City papers would have it
appear that there is freight fight in
Kansas. Such is not the case. There is
good reason for believing that the Kan
sas railroads stand ready TO adjust the
discrimination in line with the commits
sioners order, and whenever the Missouri
river jobbers withdraw their injunction
suit, justice will take its course, and
peace viii prevail.
But In the meantime the more they
appeal to the Kansas retailars and con-
sumers the more they will strengthen
the case of the interior jobbers who
could have no greater desire than to have
the facts in their case made plain to
every citizen Of the state.

The story that Hill has declared that
he is not candidate for president-not
now-may not be actually true; that is
to say, he may not have made such
declaration, but it is a fact, as to his
chances for securing either the election
or nomination. Hill is a sorry stake for
a statesman, but he is too shrewd
politician to lay himself out in hope
less chase Whenever he has pursued
the phantom far enough to make him all
right-in his imagination-for the nomi-
nation four years hence, he will find a
convenient pretext TO bow himself out of
the present contest.

vi the Eagle.
a VASE OF FLOWERS.

The morning sun shone on window ledge,
Where stood a vase of costly, fragile ware.
The flowers Nesting round its dainty edge
Were dewy, fragrant. woderfully fair.
Down fell some precious drops of lucent dew;
The blow made in the porcelain a crack,
Where oozed the water slowly, surely
through.
The flower-eyes as the slow hours passed,
Grew wide. expectant and then sadly dim;
Their hearts shrank back and 10, their heads
at last
Fell over on the vases golden brim.
And when the sun was set and day was done,
Dead were the flowers in the empty vase,
And sorrowfully surprised the careless one
Learned no regret could warm dead loves
face.

The Texas legislature, by practically
unanimos vote, few days ago passed a
resolution requesting the states con-
gressional delegation to support the
Bland free coinage bill now before the
house. A day or two later, by almost
as unanimous vote Mr.. Mills was elected
to the L. S. senate, although it is under
stood that he is opposed to free coinage.
This shows that the Democrats care very
little for the private views of man on a
leading question. If they want to give
him preferement they do so, and trust
to his honesty to obey their instructions.
There is pointer in this coincidence FOR
Hill and his coterie of clacquers.

1t is now given out with some show of
scientific authority that the reason Glad
stone and the pope have attained such
ripe old age is on account of their SIM
plicity of habits and frugality of fare
and varied employment for the mind.
Like in all sciences, there is some bonn
(bast in hygienics. While it is perfectly
demonstrate that both the pope and the
ex-premiers health is a great compli-
ment to their temperate, discretionary
lives, still it is equally true that, in
thousands of other cases, hygienic care
avails nothing. In many instances care,
too Jealous care, has been the primary
cause Of disease and death.

When the time shall have arrived to

In the history OF other nations we
