Evidently the pressure upon the
couniry,s monetary interests has not
been lifted by the passage of the repeal
bill. In fact, the indications are that it
will not only not be lifted. but the vantage
ground gained by the money lords OF the
east ia The passage of the bill will be used
all the more vigorously to accomplish
thu next move, winch viii be the full
fruition of their long planned and per-
sisteptly pressed desire, i. e. tie issuing
of an immense volume of gold bonds.
An early adjournment will not prevent
1t: the secretary of the treasury has the
authority now, and with congress out of
way, if it should lie unwilling, he will
do it. and THAT without delay.

MAIZE, Kan, Oct. 81, 1898.
To the Editor of the Easle.
l noticed some time ago an article in
the EAGLE coming from the pen of our
distinguished friend Judge Little touch
ing the question of high freight rates.
Friend Little says to agitate, everlast-
ingly agitate. This meets with my
views and should be kept before the
minds of our people until a law is passed
by our legislature giving us an absolute
remedy. There is no question of so
much importance to the people of this
state and more especially to southwest
ern Kansas than the question of cheaper
transportation. This question enters
into every pound we buy aud every
pound we sell. hence its Importance.
This question has already been deferred
too long. Had the legislature commenc-
ed drawing the lines a little in this
direction ten years ago we would find
ourselves in much better shape than we
are AT present.
In 1881 was member of the house
and introduced in that session TO bill
relieve our people of the excessive rates
then charged by the roads of this state.
At that time we were paving on wheat
from Wichita 10 Kansas Cify "a rate OF
81 cents per hundred, $50 PER car on
stock, and so on l believed then, as
believe now, that it was then time for
the legislature 10 take the OK by the
manger. But what kind of assistance
did receive from the people OF this
state. and also from my own county: /
received letter after letter saving: For
Gods sake. Dofii smeyre. choke that bill

dirt on a little bridge over frozen brook at
the foot of n steep pitch in the road Ike,

about the same time that Mr.. Bush did, and
dashed down tl,e mil after it. The otter

drove il out on the lower Size of tho Rad and
! nabbed it. 1t turned or its back and fought
| the dog for deal; l,N, and hlr. Bush sat on the
horse and urged Ike on. They fought in the
bed of the brook until the ice was red with
blood when the otter broke loose and darted
| into the bushes. Ike caught it and the fight
lasted SO long that thas Mr.. Bush htched his
horse and strobe into the brush to Soc how
the dog was making ont. lie found that the
otter had the h1ss OF the fight. 1t had ripped
Ikels hide so badly that he was getting weak
from loss of blood Mr.. Bush got a club and
| broke the ottcr's back. The little animal had
no use of its hind quarters then, but it was as
gritty as gamecock. and while The dog was

the dogs throat and hung there until Mr. Bush
