If it were possible for any agricultural
state or country TO prosper and its peo-
pie grow rich upon a single staple pro-
duct the cotton growing states of the
south ought to be at the acme of pros
perity. True, the price of cotton has
been downward for the past three or
four years, in the main, and taken by
itself, the fleece, it bears no margin of
profit to the producer; but the unpre-
precedented development Of the cotton
seed oil industry of late years has added
to the value of the cotton crop fully one
hundred per cent at present prices of
the staple. Ii the producers of the crop
could receive the benefit, or even lib
eral portion, of this added value they
might get out of debt after awhile, be-
come independent and grow rich. But
they get little of this profit, it being
divided between the ginners, the
oil mill men, and the factors who advance
the money to carry on the business a
year in advance. And the producer is
forced to continue his tread-mill gait,
just as it Is with all who rely upon a
single crop anywhere and everywhere.

American Jurisprudence. The question

contract of marriage is good law? A
couple in that state entered into con-
tract some time ago to bear to each
other the relation of husband and wife
for six months. A week ago the same
couple appeared before notary and
made new contract "to be married for
a period of six months longer. They
claim to be acting under the advice of
competent lawyers, who advise them
that as marriage is civil contract, all
the legal principles to civil contracts APP
ply to marriage also. Other lawyers add

to be appealed to to decide the point

CANNOT AFFORD MISTAKES.

From the South Kansas Tribune.
We regret to see that there is an effort
among many of our staunch old Repub-
licans, some of whom have been office
holders for many years, to assume to
dictate the policy of the party long in
advance of the convention. and to parcel
out offices, both state and congressional.
We oppose any division of the party into
sold crowds or "new crowds" and favor
happy medium which will draw all
classes into the ranks of the best party
ever controlled a state or nation.
The party should start into the next
campaign without entanglements, and it
will be only fair for our "wheel horses
who have been honored by the party with
from three to four offices. or for several
terms, or been defeated because of per-
sonal objections, to give Others an
opportunity to share the responsibility of
office.
There is strong feeling in some local.
tiles to call practical business men to the
front, rather than men who have been
classed as professional politicians. The
coming campaign will be the most far
reaching in the history of the state, and
Republicans can not afford to make mis-
takes or carry dead weights. The state
can only be redeemed from the disas-
trous results of crankism, populism and
socialism by a sweeping Republican vic
tory. 1--WE need it in our business" We
want immigration. We want eastern
money to build factories and to buy and
improve farms, and above all we want
to restore confidence, which can never
be under the present condition of poll
tics. Republicans must be united and
must have ticket that will commend
itself to the business interests of the

PART1sANsHIp VERSUS JUSTICE.

The question of statehood for Oklaho-
ma, in all that has been said and done
IN the territory, has been free from par
tisan basis, party politics never once, so
far as the EAGLE is advised, having en-
tered into any of the purposes or plans
of the people of the territory looking to
its admission into the union Of states.
Still, and nevertheless, it appears that
party lines are to be drawn in congress
and if Oklahoma is denied admission it
will be on account of the doubt OF what
its political complexion will be as a
state.
The Democrats in the house of of rep
resentatives by strict party vote have
passed the bills admitting Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona. Every Democrat
in the house voted for the admission of
these territories, although their impor-
lance is small. Every one Of them is
represented by Democrat, and it is ex-
pected that they will elect Democratic
senators and representatives and thus
strengthen that party in both branches
Vi COIpItcSs tuC idCl
that Oklahoma has much larger popu-
lation than Arizona, Chairman Wheeler,
when poin;edly asked by memuers of
the house what his intentions were in
regard to the admission of Oklahoma,
made an evasive reply, the substance of
which was that the conditions in Okla
homa were such as to indicate that
it's admission at this time was not
advisable.
The fact that Oklahoma is represented
ON the floor of the house by a Republic
can, and that if admitted as a state it
would probably send Republican rep
resentative and two Republican sena-
tors, is the only explanation that can be
offered for its rejection while the three
rotten boroughs mentioned are to be &C
corded the privilege of statehood.
By way of showing how absolutely I'M
just and partisan this performance is, it
may be interesting to examine the fig
ures as TO the population and votes of
the four territories, three Of which it is
proposed to admit and the fourth to re-
iect
