MIR. RANsOM'S DEATH.

Hon. George NJ. Ransom, father Of Joe
Ransom of the stock yards and Mrs. Harry
Hill, died Sunday morning after short
illness at the advanced age OF 81 years and
months. The remains were laid to rest
Monday afternoon, the funeral being at
ended by large circle of friends. Mr..
Ransom was fine old gentleman who
lived long and honorable life. For years
he was county judge of one of the counties
of Missouri, and if the writer is not mis-
taken, he sat at one time with Hon. A. j.
Seay, now governor of Oklahoma. He
was gentleman Of strong individuality,
which always left it's impression on those
who came in contact with him. He was a
Democrat of the old school, one of those
old war horses whom it is a genuine
pleasure to meet, for unlike the modern
Democrat his faith was as fixed as the
northern star and was uncontaminated
with any ism or craze whatever. He was
a Democrat of the jackson stripe and, By
the way, he cast his first vote for Old
Hickory. He was member of the alleged
Democratic convention of this county last
sum mer aud fought hard against the flu
sion with the Populists. When be stood
up in the midst of the Fourth ward dele
CATION his figure was inspiring. His white
hair was like the snow of winter and no.
body with the slightest trace Of sentiment
could fail to be impressed. But sentiment
is unknown to the fusion Democrat and
with the most objectionable bad taste
they turned deaf ear to his wisdom.
When he saw that the fusion sentiment
trumphed the old gentleman almost shed
tears for during his sixty years OF political
life he never knew the time when be did
not have the privilege Of voting fox Dem
crat straight.

poLIcEMAs,s CLUB.

Governor Lewelling is in the city. His
trip to Sweet Springs, Mo-. for rest and
refreshment was cut short by the pressing
needs OF the hour, by demand from the
Demo Populists that his presence is needed
in Wichita to assist, if possible. in saving
their forlorn hope, as the whole country is
looking on with no little Interest for the
result of the city election, whether or
not his administration will be Endorsed by
Wichita people.
While no one believes that Wichita will
ever be his home again, yet the word has
gone out, and the issue is made, and his
efforts to render aid and encourage
ment will fail Notwithstanding
his attempts to coerce matters
in certain directions with the policeman's
club. The influence he may be able to
exert outside Of the reach OF the police
mans club and the promise of the little
Insignificant amount.of pap every place of
which has been promised to a dozen
different men amounts co nothing. Every
property owner and merchant in this city
knows that il Wichita becomes a great
commercial city it will be through her
wholesale houses. packing houses and
manufacturing interests. No one knows
this fact better than Mr.. Lewelling. No
one knows better than he that the key to
it is the freight question. for he
used it for campaign thunder last fall
In the central and western part of the state.
Wichita being the largest wholesale and
commercial city in the state the supposed
home of the governor, had better right
to demand from his excellency railroad
commissionership than any other city in
the state. Her request was ignored. The
commissionerships were given to whistling
stations; men were appointed who do not
know a railroad from two streaks of rust,
and il their appointment depended upon
their ability to define maximum rates they
Macawber like, would be standing around
waiting for something to turn up
their normal condition-aud with the
wishes and interests of the city
entirely ignored and while our business
men ara writing under the blow given
them square between the eyes, his
excellency appears on the scene backed by
the policeman and his club, demanding
that Wichita business men shall kiss this
same hand which smote them, threatening
dire vengeance on a certain interest if
they refuse 10 come under the crack of the
lash in the hands of Revclutionists and
Anarchists.
Tue Peerless Princess will not do it; her
people are too patriotic. There burns in
their hearts too much patriotism to allow
themselves to be driven to the polls by
men who lead and control an oath
bound party. They will not indorss the
Calling gun gentleman, whom they can
not prevent from coming to our city and
holding seances with ward bummers and
heeiers, at the same time regrettiug that
the man who has been elected to the high
est Office in the gift Of the people of that
state, and a man whom they would de-
light to honor, was he worthy, should
stoop to such methods.

Is THIS CHARITY?

About two weeks ago report was pub
lished in the EAGLE relating to woman
in INDECENT circumstances, who lived in a
small house near Patti and Douglas. and
after reporter had investigated the case
he was informed that number OF ladies
had called on the woman and supplied her
with all that she needed and that they had
found work for her to do. The woman
who related the story yesterday, and who
lives next door neighbor to her and
knows what she is talking about,
says that the very charitable
women and the charity officer, who called
on her, left her about three meals victuals
and told her they would send her some
washing to do. One woman sent her a
washing to do. 1t consisted OF more than
one hundred pieces and the owner of the
clothes graciously rendered her fifty cents
for the work IL took her day aud half
to do it. Think Of this. you charitab!y in
clined and remember that the woman has
neither wash boiler or tub aud when she
tries to work has to depend on the neigh
bors for something to work with.
