Private Iams, the militiaman who
was strung up by the thumbs for half
an hour at Homestead by order of
Colonel Streator, has wealthy and in
f1uential friends. A thorough inves-
tigation of the coIonel's right TO in
fict such brutal punishment thereby
rendered the more probable. II the
right were his under the laws OF
Pennsylvania the question still arises
whether or not the penalty inflicted
was proportionate to the offense.

birch, which grows in prOfusion there.

cents to three dollars per cord for the
wood, which, after being delivered to
the factories, is first sawn into pieces
about four feet long, and from an
inch to an inch and half square. ac-
cording to the size of the spool it is
desired to make. These pieces are
put into a stove and thoroughly dried,
whence they are taken into the fac

the centre two inches deep, turn
about the same space round, and then

Some Comforts Even in Hot Cities.

For those who are far away from
the luxury of sea bathing or the heat
ing balm of the pine trees of the
mountains and must be content with
their quarters in the dingy cities
there are yet some compensations.
There are pine needle extracts which
perfume the bath with much OF the
fragrance of the great forest trees,
and no doubt possess something of
balsam OF the piney air. A warm
bath in which cup Of rock salt has
been melted is almost as invigorating
as a bath of sea water barring the
surf. There are always -egetables,
fresh fruits, and the best of meats
and fish TO be had in the city markets,
while often the first thing that at
tracts the attention of the country
guests is the remarkable scarcity OF
fruit and market produce and the in
difference of the average American
farmer in regard to them.-New York

VERY POOR MONEY.


Hon. E. P. Thompson of this county
has an old fashioned pocketbook full of
the so-called money of the state bank,
wild cat and red dog days, to which the
Democratic platform invites the people
of the United States to return. Not one
bill in the entire collection is worth a
red cent, and every one of the banks or
issuers of the money swindled somebody
to the amount of the face of each bill.
We noticed one bill issued in Pennsyl-
vania which bore the name of the
Sucker bank" and which promised to
pay 10 cents worth of sucker fish on de-
mand, and SO they go. Probably not
another such collection of money(0
could be found in the possession of any
citizen of the United States, covering as
it does all characters of issues of state
aud corporation bills from and includ-
ing the continental bills down to the
days of the Republican greenback
which the Democratic party and the
Peoples party and all the other parties
would now wipe out, and probably
more because it is Republican party
money than for any other reason. The
man who would return to this character
of currency lacks business judgment
and cannot be sound politically.

There is a general belief that the next
legislature, if carried by the fusionists,
will select John Martin, Governor Click
David Overmyer or some Democrat at
United States senator. Even the most
radical Peoples party man believes that
the state would gain advantage by having
a senator in accord with the administra-
tion on the tariff observation-disclosures City
Times.
The Times has been posing for some
time as an anti-fusion paper, as to Kan
sas, but falls into, or in with, the Fusion
trick given out in the paragraph quoted
to catch and hold Democratic votes to
the fusion ticket, particularly for legis-
lative candidates. But no sensible Dem
ocrat will be gulled into the belief that
a Peoples party legislature would elect
Democrat to the United States senate.
If that party should control the next
legislature Jerry Simpson would be as
certain to succeed to the senate as that
the election should take place.

1T WAS REVOLUTION.

Following the Republican defeat OIL
1890 capital was withdrawn from Kan
sas to that extent that all values were
depressed and the credit of the state
suffered in way that every body felt.
The RELOCATING of the calamity crowd
and the reinstating the state in the Re-
publican column will be followed by a
revival of business all along the line.
Had the Republican party been defea ted
by the Democratic party the
result would not have been SO disastrous
to the business interests and values of
Kansas. 1t was the revolution Which
threw the Simpsons and PETERS to the
surface that alarmed capital and gave
the state such a squeeze. Democrats
know this to be true and know it as
definitely as do Republicans. This being
it is no wonder that a
large, level-headed and Independent ele-
ment of the Democratic party refuse to
be coerced into the fusion by self seeking
leaders. What Kansas wants now, and
it is the only thing her people are desir-
ing, are chances and opportunities
equalling her advantages. Kansas is
worth from three to four times what
she is quoted at in the markets but there
will be no realizing on her true values
until the world regains confidence in her
people which it will do when revolution
SITS are put down and under, and not
ill then.

JOHN MARTINS DOSE.

Democratic State Railway Commissioner
Mitchell opens out on Fusion Judge
John Martin through the columns of the
EAGLE, as will be seen by reference to
arother part of the paper. John Martin
has the right to desert the Democratic
party and turn calamity bowler and
fusionist, but before attacking such
straightout Democrats as Commissioner
Mitchell touching his attitude towards
railways he would do well to examine
his own pocketbook for evidences of rail-
way ownership.
John Martin is Democrat who has
held not few offices by the grace of the
Republican party, and it don't become
him, now that he has well nigh wrecked
his own party and joined another, to go
about the state abusing state official
who is a Democrat of the Jeffersonian
stripe and not to be bought, corrupted or

AN OUTSIDE OPINION.

TIE Atchison Globe, politically indie
pendent, whose editor is one of the
brightest minds in the west, says of
Jerry Simpson:
Jerry Simpson is not farmer, and
he is not interested in reforms. He is
not a representative of the respectable
opposition in Kansas. and should be got
ten rid of. He makes his supporters
ridiculous every time he opens his mouth;
he is a fool who believes that anarchy
and idiocy means reform. In order 10
succeed and accomplish the best results,

WORDS OF PROPHECY.

One of the greatest real calamities that
ever befell Kansas was the untimely
death of its steadfast friend and match
less statesman, Preston B. Plumb. The
farming and labering class in general
never had a truer and more faithful
champion than he. And being thus true
and loyal to his great constituency he
was of necessity equally as jealous de-
fender of the Republican party. His
prescience, too, as to the Inspiration of
the Democratic party, of what it would
and would not do and attempt to do, was
a most conspicuous characteristic of the
great commoner. During the last cam
paign in which he took part in this state
and in almost the last speech he made,
after reviewing the work of the Repub-
lican darty during the time it had the
presidency and both branches of congress
the first time it had possessed such
power for twenty years-he made the
prophecy that the Democratic house
with its overwhelming majority would
not dare to attempt to undo one single
act of the Republicans He said that in
no respect, from the tariff and the APP
preparations down to the least of private
bills, would the Democrats of the house
dare challenge the verdict of the people
by trying to repeal a single page Of Re-
publican legislation. How true the
prophecy and how completely fulfilled
it has been up 10 the present time every
citizen of the country knows who has
kept the run of current events.
And how the great Plumb has been
missed in Kansas this year.
