Sure enough, Judge William Lindsay
yoes tn the senate from Kentucky to
succeed John G. Carlisle. Lindsay has
much Of Tie ruggedness of physical
makeup Of the late James G. Beck, and
has equal amplitude of mentality. The
only thing that may prevent the new
senator from filling Beck'5 place is a
lack Of physical energY-Becll was a
tireless, ceaseless worker: Lindsay is a
man who is inclined to take things easy.
In order to commend himself for his
own succession in 1895 he may turn
himself loose during the intervening two
years. Kentuckians think there is a good
deal of the ''AIan-of-Destiny" in Bill
Lindsay. lie now has the opportunity to
confirm or disabuse that notion.

Railway Fatalities in 1892.

There were 116 passengers killed in
railroad accidents in the United States
last year, according to the Railroad
Gazette, against III in 1891, 172 IN 1890,
1913 in 1899, 1853 in 1888 and 2O7 in 1887.
The last was d year, too, peculiarly free
from very bad accidents-the worst be-
ing the collision at Harrisburg, Pa, in
June, in which twelve persons were
killed, and the next in Importance being
the one at West Cambridge in Septem-
Der, where nine were killed. No less
than of the 116 passengers killed met
Stheir death in accidents caused by negli-
gence of railroad employees; while defects
in road or Equipment were responsible
for only twenty-five fatalities to passen-
gers.

Congress at its last session passed bill
providing for uniform automatic car
coupler and continuous brake for railroad
trains. The senate has now passed a
similar bill, and it is hoped a conference
viii bring the two houses together in the
adoption of method to perform service
that is now done by hand to the hazard
of thousands of lives daily and hourly
throughout the land-a hazard that is
needlessly depicting the ranks of the
young men by death or manning for life
at rate almost equal 20 the ravages of
war. The railroads ought to have been
encouraged to do this humane thing
years ago by the passage of such an en-
pbliug act by congress. But, in this case
at least, it IS better late than never.

TIE EAGLE SET RIGHT,
GRANT TOWNSHIP, Feb. IS, 1898,

GRANT TOWNSHIP, Feb. IS, 1898,
TO the Editor of the Eagle.
Former numbers of the EAGLE have
practically told we oppressed farmers
that the present high prices for fat hogs
were due in part to a general shortage in
the supply thereof, and in part to an in
creased foreign demand for American
pork. Now Mr.. Editor, and in this con-
nection allow me to assure you that if
you had previously read our Populist
bible with profit, or had you
formerly been an occasional
attendant at our Populist revival
meetings and have listened attentively
to the preaching of our apostles and
high pIeists, you would have learned
that supply and demand have nothing
whatsoever to do with prices, and hence
doubtless, would not have subjected
yourself to censure and criticism by
making such absurd statements. As a
matter of fact, Mr.. Editor, we down
trodden salt Of the earth, by reason of
the improved reform proclivities as lain
down in our Populist catechism and
l'ANdta1SNN " bo lioltl III INV anu lOtAot
tops by the chief moguls of our party,
learned that when any particular article
of farm produce is selling at u low price,
1t is all due to robbery and speculation
on the part of national bankers, pluto
Gratis, etc, as against the producer, and
when the same article IS selling at a high
price it is all due to robbery and specu-
lation on the part of these self-same
national bankers and plutocrats, as
against the consumer. In short, we
now know that supply and demand is
not in it by d sight.
Now, Mr.. Editor, allow me to farther
say that Christian philanthropy prompts
me 10 publicly forewarn State Senator
OBryan that if he would avert death,
after the Texas style, and at the hands
of we outraged Grant township Popu-
lists, he must not only forthwith make
due apology for his past honorable and
manly actions in connection with our
legislative middle, but must henceforth
and like certain others of our Populist
state officers and representatives, mani
fest total disregard for either law, JUS
tice or precedent, when such in auywise
conflict with the grand objects and pur-
poses of the great reform movement.

WHERE ARE THE OLD MeNq
A Question That Agitated NeaerHh,r
Inhabttant of Maine.

Inhabitant of Maine.
The writer spent pleasant hour net
long ago with a genial Maine gentle
man of more than middle age. and was
rather set back by his pointed question.
Nv hat has become Of the old men knew
when was q boy?" st first thought
this involved question of futurity. %
answer which required q lifting Of tbs
veil between tins and the world be-
youd. But he presently explained him
self. "When | was fifteen" he said.
''all those around me over thirty wears
old seemed TO be old men, and I
wondered how I should feel when 81
many years had rolled over me. When
] got to be thirty or forty most every
body was fair aud young, and only
those who were sixty or over seemed 10
be old. And now that l have got 70 be
sixty everybody is young-just like nc
and ali those who formerly seemed ul,1
are apparently just about my age.
There are no old folks now; all arc
young men 20 my eyes; and what I
want - know is. what has become ~
the old fcliovs?' This seems 10 be-
a universal experience OF humankind.
We all remember the poem Of the cid
man who sat on n NOISY stone by the
roadside, sadly musing." and TO tho
young miss who asked the cause Of his
Sorrow-
Angel" said h, sadly, II an old
Ny oarthly hope no longer hath q morrow "
From this view of himself 1t becomes
almost matter OF certainty that n
young person, 70 whom age seemed a
distant thing. wrote the poem, and
that the alleged feelings Of the old man
are purely imaginary, for IL was, a.
heart, a young fellow who must have
sat on the Stone.

TIE TRUE ECONOMY OF GOVERN

side over home, can command leisure.

means education, independence. self
respect and manhood; it increases the
value of every acre near by, fills the
town with dwellings, opens public lib
rarIeS and crowds them, dots the con-
tinent with cities and cobwebs it with
railways. The one remaining dollar in
sures progress and guarantees millions
TO its owner, better than a score of stat
ues."
No one will dare gainsay that declara-
ton. To build up and maintain such
condition for the laboring people OF this
country has been the prime mission Of
the Republican party, to accomplish
which the policy of protection was in
augurated and has been steadfastlv
maintained up TO the present time. The
condition that thus confronts the incom-
ing administration is probably what has
caused change Of mind in the presi-
dent-elect who now declares that the
money question must be disposed Of be-
fore anything is done with the tariff.
The chances are that no radical changes
viii be made il either.

Dreant or in Mans Philosophy.
Rev. DIR. Dallinger delivered lecture
at Bristol the other night on the planets
around US and their possible habita-
biity, says the Pail Mall Budget.
Speaking of Mercury. Dr.. DauinEer
pointed out its chief features and
showed that they appropriated to those

the sun there was more intense it MIGHT
be tempered by the char, ter OF the at

Venus was yet more akin . our world
in every respect, so that lie there. as
we know ii, was yet more possible.
The conditions OF the atmosphere. in
deed. were such that the whole globe
might be habitable- Mars next came
under review, the lecturer explaining
its character, substance, atmosphere
and other features, which, he said,
made the existence OF creatures, if not
man, quite possible.
People were slowly losing their for

and nobody in the universe except the
world and man. There were other
worlds, however, which. so far rs hui

yet suitable for habitation, hut we,

might ultimately maze life possible.

years hence some means of mental com

WOMAN'S REPUBLICAN, ASSOCIA-
TON.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The Woman's Republican club of Kan
sas will hold their first state convention
on March 10, 1893 in Topeka.
The object of this meeting is the form
alton of the Kansas State Woman's Re
publican association, auxiliary to the
National Republican association. Each
local association is invited to send its
president and three delegates as its rep
resentatives, and is requested to elect
delegates and alternates at the earliest
possible date and report their names to
the undersigned.
Reduced railroad rates will he secured.
The necessity for this state organization
is obvious, concert of action, strength
ening of locals,-it is the link which con-
meets the most obscure local society with
the National association, and puts it in
touch with the strongest workers. There
fore let there be no local association
without representation IN the proposed
convention. That Woman's Republican
association which values its future use
fulness to the party of its fealty and the
advocacy of the principles of Republi-
canism, should be diligent in helping to
insure strong state organization of Re-
publican women.

More than 20, 900 homeseekers along

congress will ratify the puchase of the
Cherokee strip and permit them 10 go on
that land without danger of being mo-
Tested while trying to MAKE homes for
themselves and families. Should moth

will sorrogf fully return 10 their former
homes, with hearts saddened By disap-

confided their all in. Others, and
by far the greater number, will
march on 10 the strip, and
nothing but the strong arm of the mill
