BLAINE AND HIS GANG.

The Administration Is in the Hands Of
Capitalists and Adventurers.
TIE two factors which control every
important action of the Harrison ad-
ministration are Blaine and the Blaine
gang. Of these Blaine is the least inn
portant. He is as much a puppet lin
the hands of his friends" as Harrison
is when both Blaine and Blaine's
friends are bent on controlling him.
From time to time Blaine or his
friends, for purposes of their own,
give it out that he 'dissents from the
policy of the president" No doubt the
president is jealous and restive under
Blaine's control, but it is certain that
he can take no step of Importance on
which the Blaine gang puts its veto.
They control his cabinet, and the en-
tire machinery of the republican party
is in their hands.
They consist of two elements-irst,
such capitalists as Levi p Morton and
Andrew Carnegie. who are the princi-
pal contributors to republican cam
paign funds. These are reinforced by
such adventures as Stephen B. Elkins
and Pat Egan. In the hands Of these
men the president is no more his own
master than if he were ehild's doll.
Even if he wished to resist them, he
would be impotent to do so But he
would never dream Of allowing his
jealousy of Blaine's influence to carry
him far enough to make an issue with
them. He knows that his chances OF
denomination depend entirely on them.
~ that as long as he is sufficiently
asrvient to them they, will keep

In spite OF much dullness and com-
plant in some important branches
trade is graduRlly enlarging. The east
does not get the full benefit because
western business IS largely met by
western distributing centsrs, and that
alone is increasing heavily, while
southern trade, which is more largely
met by distribution from the east, ia
unusually dull But the west Is stead
lily increasing orders for manufactured
products and il likely to buy more
largely in the next Ave months than
ever before. Eastern consumption Is
also fairly up.to Che maximum as labor
is well employed. The stringency OF
the south owing 70 the oYer-productiou
OF cotton aud hurtful speculation in
the past is at present the only force re-
tarding the general Improvement. Ex-
ports of merchandise continue to great
" exceed last years. while in the value
OF imports the increase is very slight.
Speculation in products has been
more active, but in spite Of the abun-
dance Of money the tendency OF prices
is lower. Wheat fell to 999k cents here,
but recovered over a cent and after,
sales of 80, 600, 600 bushels is / cent
lower than week ago. Western re-
ceipts diminish, but exports diminish
still more. Corn closed only one-eighth
of cent higher after sales of Is, 600, 600
bushels and oats three-eighths OF cent

lower.

DISTRICT SCHOOL txEKCisES.

The school in District No IA, Delano
township, closed last Friday evening with
very interesting program. Ten pupils
OF that and adjacent schools having passed
examinations several week. ago with
much credit to themselves and instruct
ors, received diplomas as graduates of the
county common schools The class con-
listed of Misses Cora Hess, Mercie and
Alice Palmer, Antoinette Derby, and
Messrs. Harry Hess, Joseph, Frank and
Bert Bradshaw, Charles Parsons and
David Stuckey, each of whom presented
an original paper of much merit. Super
intendent Pence presided and after prayer
ny Rev. Hoover made few brief remarks
relative to the aim and educational value
OF the system of graduation and graduation
now introduced into the district schools.
The exercises were interspersed with mu-
sic both vocal and instrumental, provided
by the young people Several choruses
were well rendered under the leadership
of Miss Maud Slower Mr.. Charles Par
sons favored the audience with vocal
solo. and Misses Derby and Slower each
rendered very fine instrumental solo
Miss Cora Hess recited "Whistling in
Heaven in a very acceptable manner.
The presentation of the diplomas was
made by Tie teacher, Mr. w E. Davis,
who made a brief address to the class,
commencing them for their good work.
Judge Muscular was then introduced and
made an address. He began by contrast
ing the educational advantages of only a
few years past with those OF the present
time, noting the marked improvement.
He dwelt upon the necessity of determined
application by the individual in order 10
achieve success in any li1e of work. The
Judge also spoke with EN- phasis of the I'M
measured influence of country life in de-
veloping sturdy, robust manhood, and inn
parting mental and moral strength.
Mr., Muscular was followed By Rev ID.

10 the class, and Mr.. Slower spoke in be-
half of the district board, commenting
the instructors for their faithfulness and
expressing his appreciation OF the work
done in the school,

STATE vs.. SHORT.

Apparently one-half the population Of
Minneha township were in the city yester-
day. The attraction which brought them
in was the trial of the case of the State VS..

district court yesterday morning Short
is charged with completely in the robbery
of the Thompson home last November.
All the readers OF the EAGLE remember
the robbery. About O'Clock in the after
noon two masked men entered the Thomp-
son residence about miles east of the city,
and after binding Mrs. Thompson hand
and foot and firing a shot at her, robbed
her of about 500 which she kept concealed
in the bed clothing. She remained tied
for couple of hours. When her
husband came in from the field in which
he was working, the alarm was given aud
a few days afterwards two young men,
Short and Tanning were arrested by Val
ley Center officer, for the crime. The pre-
lminary was held before Justice Jones
and the evidence was strong enough
against them in his opinion to warrant
him in binding them over to the district
court About two months ago Tanning
was tried in the district court and after
hard legal contest, covering period of
three days, he was adjudged not guilty
and discharged 1t is probable that the
trial of Short will also consume three

when they shifted the enervating air OF
Wichita they were so anxious to see the
far famed Peerless Princess that many OF
them could not content themselves on the
train while the engine was taking water
but jumped of, and while the men made a
dash for Douglas avenue to take
peep at its imposing proportions
and busy scores, the young ladses
romped about the yards and had pleas
ant time. There were editors there from
Georgia. Florida, South Carolina, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Kentucky. Louisiana,
Arkansas and Missouri, and each one wore
badge indicating the state they were
from. They were all bright looking fell
lows and unquestionably men of good
taste for they were accompanied by wives
and sweethearts, who were splendid repre-
sentatives of that style of beauty which has
made Dixie famous. Every mothers son
of them were Democrats with very few
exceptions, and the exceptions didn't look
so bad, considering the company they were
in. While they are fine looking fellows they
certainly can't compare with the average
Kansas crowd of editors, in looks at least.
They all seemed to be astonished at
Wichita and couldn't possibly realize that
the site of the city was a bare prairie
trifie over twenty years ago.
The party is part Of the National Edi-
torial association which meets at San
Francisco some time during the month.
They connected at Burton last night with
two train loads of editors from the north
eastern states who came from Chicago via.
Kansas City From Burton they will
proceed as one party to Colorado Springs
where they will meet the Texas, Colorado
and sother delegations. They will
remain at Colorado Springs all
day today to participate In
the dedication ceremonies OF the National
Printers Home. The philanthropic ed
itor of the Philadelphia Ledger, George
W. Childs, will be present at the dedica-
ton, and it will be a memorable event.
After the dedication all the excursionists
will proceed to the Pacific slope, taking in
all the points of interest as they go along.
