Interest in the matter of irrigation for
western Kansas has long been felt by the
people of the state, who have regarded
it as the one thing lacking to people and
develop that part of the commonwealth
and make it equal to the choicest and
most favored section of the land. The
most serious feature of the problem is
the securing of sufficient water. This
point settled affirmatively and the bal
ance will be comparatively easy of So
lution. 1t is hoped, as it is believed, that
the convention to be held at Salina on
the 2Sth inst. will throw much light on
The subject. The object is certainly
worth all the time and attention that
can be given to it.

BLAZAD THEIR w Az.

Three young fellows who were down
through the strip on hunt several
months siuce found very desirable
body of land, we'll watered and with an
abundance of timber. Concluding that
possibly they might want to make the
run they took a couple of days in
selecting route and in finding crossings
to the streams, studying landmarks, etc. :,
and in selecting spot on the border
from which to start For two weeks
past they have put their bronchos in
training. They make run across the
prairie of one hour every day. On
Saturday last they made seventeen miles
In one hour and their animals did not
seem much distressed. In one hundred
minutes after the word ego" is given
they expect that each will be on lis
claim with rod or staff sticking in the
ground bearing white flag on which
Is Inscribed his name, and on which will
be marked the hour and minute of their
arrival, each a witness for the other. A
team or ordinary horse will not be in it
with these BOYS.

which is such special favor to thieving
manufacturers would lie $3.50 plus 81.
i. e. $3.50 at the factory. There is not
a man who knows enough to buy a
pound of nails, or spool of wire that
does not know that these are facts, and
the cause is protection.
In the Mckinley bill the tariff was re-
duced an nails to cents per pound, and
nails have been sold at the factories
within the last year for $40 per hun
dred, which is 60 cents less than The
tarif-alI done by our protection to
home industries.
Democratic price at the 'sblarsted'
factory would be $l4 pluss So tariff
equals So. 40 for the thIeving "rascais."
Now any one who has kept an account
of his purchases for series of years.
| knows that ne has been able TO purchase
better goods at a less price within the
last few years than ever before. Now,
what is true OF calico and nails is
equally true Of hundreds of articles in
our markets.
We have been told that goods would
have come down on account of the i'm
provementS In machinery, but these
never come when men are not brought
IN contact with defective machinery in
the factories. The man who is digging
potatoes may improve his hoe, but
he is not likely to make any
very great strides in adding
to the utility of the woolen mill or the
cotton factory.
But if we exclude these foreign goods.
how can we raise money? The Repubii-
can idea is to put it upon the luxurles.
Under the present law if 4 1000 dia-
moud ring is brought to this country
the purchaser pays $3.50 tariff. Then
there Is large class OF mugwumps in
this country, and they are invariably
free traders, because they hold that this
country cannot manufacture anything
good enough for them. This is great
he'll 10 our country, and also to the for
eign laborer. He pays for their
goods and he also pays the tariff,
which is all right enough. But
the masses think our laborers are second
to none In their ingenuity and their
skill, and are satisfied that the product
of their haudiwork will never find a
superior.
Senator Hill of New York, admits that
this country has had series of years of
SiCao prosperity, out IL uIidplS W ue-
termine whether it is real or fictitious.
Perhaps these millions OF idle laborers
who had plenty and to spare, in that
series OF years, so mysterious to Mr..
Hill. might render him some valuable
information as to whether there was any
reality in these years business.
Carollary 1. "a revenue only'' tariff,

"No."

A THREATENED TRAGEDY.

Nothing short of unexampled forbear-
ance will prevent the opening of the
Cherokee strip from proving tragedy.
Why the present administration, in the
face of the former experience, should
have adopted the scramble policy passes
understandings policy which defeats
the very class that ought to receive the
bepefits. The strong and well equipped
adventurer is given the only show. The
run is to take place at the end or late in
the season, on the afternoon Of the last
day in the week, and from only two
borders. 1t is to take place over
country whose streams at this
time Of year are mostly destitute
Of water and those which have water
difficult of crossing. Even III the absence
Of blood shed the suffering from destitu-
ton will he unexampled. Animals will
not only perish, but women and children
must endure the agonies of hunger and
thirst. The scheme defeats its own very
object. 1t is the homeless who must
fail of securing homes and those who do
not want homes will possess the land, if
not in perpetuity at least until they can
sell their right or requirement.
The law opening the strip to settle
ment should have contained all the
necessary details and instructions with a
further provision empowering the
president of the United States to open the
same by proclamation, at any time with
in a year from the passage of the
bill. No further:.intimation Of the time
should have been indicated, and the
proclamation could have been given to
the Associated Press any day within the
time specified. Instead Of any unseenly
and probably tragedical scramble all
that portion Of the Outlet worth taking
would have been quietly settled within
a month or six weeks after the publica
ton of the proclamation, and in the alb
sence of any scramble, dangerous col.
lision, bloodshed, or suffering from desti-
tuition.

THAT GRAND OLD MAN.
G. w. RICE.

TO the Editor OF the Eagle.
| The press of our country teens with
| sycophantic tributes to the apparent hero
of the home rule bill. Who is this god
which all America and the world wor-
| shipped! Gladstone as young mana
| Tory-made his first speech in defence
of slavery, and wrote his first book in
| defence of the church and state. Glad
stone in his old age, a divorced Liberal
cohabiting with renegade Irish faction
produced a home rule bill for Ireland
the climax of his duplicity. The home
rule bill is a fitting scene to end his
political drama. Here is seen the dex-
ferrous and flexible hand of the political
stager, at once the friend and foe of
his own measures. MacauIay says:
whatever Mr.. Gladstone sees is
| refracted and distorted by a
false medium of passions and
prejudices." This eloquent statement
needs no modification at the end of fifty
four years. Look at him as he gags the
house Of commons, that preceptor of
free discussion, while he forces his ILL
emened measure through its committee
by system of closure. See how he
grasps at a vote of confidence from $500
Irish Presbyterians, while he spurns the
pathetic petition of the general assembly.
See how a few years ago his righteous
soul burned with Indignation against
the Irish party whom he averred "were
marching through rapine and blood to
the dismem6erment of the empire" See
him now as he makes these leaders of
numbering. manning villains his coun-
sellors, and fawns at their feet. See the
sturdy Unionist OF the past opening with
his whitening hand The foodgates of dis
Indignation. Behold this grand old mau
giving his positive pledge at Manchester
that no Irishman under home rule should
be allowed to vote or English
and Scotch affairs, and see now how he
breaks his solemn pledge. If Mr.. Glad
stones bill were feasible; if it were cal
cuated to settle the burning question of
social differences in Ireland, then honest
men might overlook the uproar made
over the political conjurer. but his bill is
mere holocaust to the Unsuitable. The
Ilish question Is by no means settled, his
agitators by no means satisfied; but this
instalIment of disruption IS accepted as
the most that can he forced from IA de-
iuded and overweening statesman. The
question is not SO much what does Ire
land want, as it is what does Ireland
need She needs TO be freed from
prlestlv intolerance. She needs good
laws (such as she has firmly admins
tered. She needs vltallz.ng religion
and political rest.
Yours respectfully,

WICHIFA'S STATE CASE.

The Symns injunction case has been
continued until the next term of the
supreme court. This case has been in
the courts for nearly two years, and
there is no good reason why it should
not have been tried year ago last Nav.
The Interests Of the interior portion OF
the state are at stake to an extent that
the supreme court should give the case
precedence over all other cases. instead
of SO readily acceding to the dilatory
methods of the Missouri river isbbers
and the railroads. The question en-
volved is one that the roads cannot
afford TO have sustained by the court.
and if decided in favor of the interior
jobbers, will reduce their rates to such
an extent as to hurt their earnings: so
between the two they prefer TO have the
matter tied up as long as possible. While
they are retarding business and prosper
ity in the state they are breeding trouble
Sor themselves later on.

princess Sophia adopted a similar
course in Greece.

1T WOULD BE SOUND.

The EAGLES suggestion urged some
Time since of - per cent. bond and the
continuance of the silver purchase until
the government had a corner on the sill
yer of the world, whereby its price
would be forced up to the coin value,
did not ''catch on so to speak. If all
the silver offered was thus purchased the
corner would not only very soon be an
accomplished fact, but the paper money
representing it would represent the gold
standard. With the retention of the
present protective tariff there would be
plenty of gold for redemption purposes
without any issue of two and half per
cents.

Evidently Mr.. Cleveland wants to
gorge the country on silver The ex-
cuse the secretary of the treasury set
up for not coming the bullion held by
the government was that there was no
demand for the silver coin. If that
were true-and the president has no
right to doubt 1.-THE only excuse he can
have for his coinage scheme is, if posi-
sible, to discredit silver in the estima-
ton of the people.
