In his proclamation converting con-
eress in extraordinary session Mr.. Cleve-
land set up as the only reason therefor
the financial condition of the country
which, he asserted, is the result of un-
wise financial legislation, referring. of
course, TO the Sherman law. Now that
his secretary of the treasury has found
a way cut of the difficulty, that is. bv
practically suspendIng the purchases of
silver in defiance of the plain letter of
the law, the order converting congress
might as well be revoked-that is if the
silver purchase clause of the law is in
fact the cause of the trouble as alleged
and IN any event, as for that. If laws
may be ignored and set aside at will by
the administration. why may it hot SUBJ
stitute other laws, as the Fort Scott
Monitor very pertinently asks, and thus
save the expense of congress altogether.

SOUNDING THE FOGEORN,

To the Editor of the Eagle:
The foghorn is sounding, but don't be
alarmed. The readers of the EAGLE,
most of them, perhaps know that on the
ocean the wise seaman when his ship is
enveloped in fog, as often happens, he
will cause the foghorn to be sounded.
The Democratic party, having by some
unforeseen accident Come in possession of
the government andits best machinery,
and not having the brain capacity to
run a machine of such vast proportions,
and the captain being asleep or gone
fishing, the under officers knowing
nothing better to do, are sounding the
foghorn. Senator Vest of Missouri. as
reported in the EAGLE, sounded the
alarm in speech the other day
in St Louis. He says we are in
fog, everything looks gloomy.
l don't know whether we
shall ever see the sunshine again.
Something may happen and we may
come out all right again, but it looks
gloomy" How pitiiul, coming from a
party that only few short months ago
was going to give the country financial
prosperity such as they had never known
before. Don't be alarmed, my friends,
the government at Washington will live
on, and although a lot of ignoramuses
have got temporary control, and ali
Will have to suffer more or less the
consequences, yet the loyal legions
that saved the country from fire and
sword and gave it the best monetary
system in the world are watching the
moving OF the congress and wilrif
failure is made, relegate incompetency
to the rear, and will reinstate those
who have through shower and sunshine
shown their ability to manage the af-
fairs of this nation with credit to the
country and to themselves. The lack
of confidence in the ability of the Demo
cratic party to administer the financial
affairs of the country is the sole cause
for the present confusion, for they have
always shown a lack of a business ca
pacity, such as is necessary to manage
successfully so big machine, and you
need not be surprised to hear of some of
the leaders having the jimjams before
the end of the term. The strain is too
great. Sound the fog horn.

WHY NOr2

From the Fort Scott Monitor.
If Mr.. Cleveland can annul one law
of congress, why cannot he annul all
that are in his way? If through his
secretary of the interior aud pension
commissioner he can set aside laws of
congress which grants pensions TO SOL
diers and approprlates the money to paw
them, why can he not order his secre-
tary OF the treasury to set aside the
Sherman law and stop the purchase of
silver: The vexatious DELAYS and ex-
pense of a special session o. congress
would thus have been saved. 1t has
been the boast Of Secretary Smith that
the administration would save $4,000
600 by boldly annulling the pension
laws $1,000, 600 of this comes out OF
the pockets of Kansas soldiers, and at
time, toe. when they can lily afford 10

for setting aside one law at Mr.. Cleve-
lands sweet will. WHY has he not son.
further and saved the country the ex-
pensive extra session and the vexatious
delays OF that method OF getting rid of
an obnoxious law. 1t seems to us he
could do Que Just as we'll as tile other
and just as legally. Ii ne can remove
names from the pension rolls put there
in pursuance of law, can he nos remove

man law

EATING TIN BOOSTERS.

A tin company, in Indiana, which had
been organized because of the encour.
agement given by the Mckinley bill, but
whose employees, several hundred in
numbers, wore tin ROSTERS on their hats
last November and voted for Cleveland,
shut down tLeir works as soon as the
result of the election was known. A
few days since delegation of the for
mer employees waited upon the president
of the tin mandatory and wanted to
know when he was going to resume
work. That officer replied that he could
not tell, if ever. The walking delegate
then said You must do something, OF
we will starve;" 10 which the factory
man suggested: Hadn't you better eat
your tin roosters?"
Chicago carried the state of
Illinois for Cleveland and free
trade, and the times have
become so hard in consequence that the
great fair for which she put up so much
will not pay out by from ten to fifteen
millions Chicago is eating her tin
rooster.
Colorado and the mountain mining
states went back on their Republican
principles and voted for Cleveland be-
cause of promise of the "dolIar of the
daddies'' made by this Democratic plat
form. The mining states are eating
their tin ROSTERS.
Hundreds of factories, throughout the
eastern states, which were fairly pres
porous under Republican protection, and
which would have continued in opera
ton but for the fact that the people de-
clared for tariff REFORM" have closed
up and thrown tens of thousands of
workmen, who voted for Cleveland
almost to a man-out of employment.
These men are eating their tin ROSTERS.
The goldbug bankers of New York
City were afraid of the Republican prin-
ciple of a parity of gold and silver and
SO went into deal On the side with Mr..
Cleveland for a single standard. The
goldbug bankers of Wall street have
commenced to eat their tin ROSTERS and
they will have no other diet for some
time to come, and from the looks of the
roost they wont be served on toast.

Crop Failure Fakes.

From the Kansas City star.
The usual corn crop failure" has
come rolling in from Kansas. This is
an annual occurrence and no matter
what the harvest may be in September.
the crop is always failure during the
latter part of July. 1.-The reports from
western Kansas" always Indicate that,
though the corn is looking all right, il
will only be good for fodder, and, by the
same token. Kansas is going TO the bow
vows. Western Kansas" Is very
hay and indlstinct locality In the bright
lexicon and gazetteer of the crop report
er. But if the matter were searched and
sitted it would be found that western
Kansas" is used in a slightly Pick
wickian sense, and that ii refers to tie
field of some noisy old politician, who
goes roaring around the hotel Hobbies in
Topeka anxious to attract the attention
of the reporters. who. In their turn. are
eager for an item at this dull season. Ii
may be put down as reasonably certain
that there will be no corn crop failure
this year, even IN western Kansas.

Gold is coming to America, There is
a prospect now of the shipment of about
five million dollars from London to the
United States within the next week.
The statement, per Sc, is very reassuring:
but if 1T is the property of foreigners and
is being sent here for investment in
American securities at their present de.
pressed values-which seems a pIausibla
theory-we are not so sure that IFS
coming is thing to be desired. To he
sure, money from any quarter in suffi-
cient amount to afford present relief
would be hailed with delight by the
distressed, but the relief afforded bv an
influx of foreign gold will only be tenn
porary at best, and would leave us in
condition TO be carried through the same
experience AT later period. We want
all the foreign gold we can get in ex-
change for our surplus products, but
mighty little for permanent investment

rounding curve between Britton and

Messenger Bell was thrown from his car
out of the open door and down an en-
bankment. The train was going at a
terrific speed and after it had gone by
about a mile it was stopped and backed
up aud the injured man picked up and
carried back into his Car. After the
dirt was washed off he was found to
have escaped unhurt but for a few
scratches and bruises. Considering the
speed of the train and the distance of
the fall it was wonder he was not
killed outright

Its the Interpretation that Counts

Another ruling of the treasury has
virtually nulliiied the present silver law.
The act provides that 1900, 600 ounces
shall be bought each month or so much
as Is offered at the market price. The
treasury department has deciiusd the
offerings so far this month. or the great
er portion, claiming the price is above
market, and there Is a probability thai;
but small amount will be bought Tins

Jaw, not the act itself, that counts at
