JERRY SIMPSON HEARD FROM.

After many months Jerry Simpson,
who voted against the auti-option bill,
and therefore against the best interests
OF the Great Arkansas Valley, has been
heard from. He energies long enough
from that obscurity to which ne naturally
belongs, to say that the late elections in
Kansas signfied nothing so far as the
interests of the Pop party are concerned,
and that it was no defeat.
Simpson is a fair representative of his
party. unqueslionablv he is, aud he also
represents the Democrats of the Seventh
district of Kansas, so far as their votes
and support go. but all the same the
world should, and probably does, know
that he neither mentally, religiously,
morally ror politically represents the
great body OF Intelligence Of the most
numerously populated district renre-
sented by any man Cd the floor of con-
gress.
If any considerable number Of Demo
Gratis, or Of even Populists, think the
Republican party of the Seventh district
individually or collectively, feel no
sense of humiliation in the fact that
they have no voice on the floor Of the
lower house of congress save that of the
ex-CanadIan of "Maidson Loge," they
are mistaken.

KANSAS.

For diversity of crops and fertility Of
soil, no state in the union excels Kansas.
Yet the average price of land through
out the state is fifty per cent. below its
entire value, and the movement of pros
perlty at the present low prices is dull
and sluggish. This condition will not
and cannot last long. During the next
ten years more money will be made by
the increase in value Of Kansas realty
than will be made by any other
state. The 100000 bushels of
wheat raised in Kansas last year
grew On a half less area than
any other like quantity in this country,
and upon land that at today's values is
not one-third the price of wheat lands of
the middle states. The wheat crops of
Kansas for the past ten years are as little
understood as many other things per-
tanning to Kansas. A careful reading of
the agricultural reports of Kansas will
show that small total yield was occa-
stoned by a small acreage sown, and
well demonstrates the fact that the
state has never failed to produce
q fair average per acre crop
One grasshopper year and one drouthy
year during the past twenty years, in
the minds of many, oyershadows
eighteen years of good crops. In 1889
Kansas gave some attention to corn, and
produced so much that it sold at from
10 to II cents, and in 1892 planted little
extra wheat, and brought the price of
that commodity lower than ever known
iuthe past thirty years and reduced the
cost of living to every bread eating
human on this earth.
Years ago the EAGLE claimed that
Kansas was the bread basket of the
world and the claim has become a we'll
fact. Political disturbances
we have occasionally; more than our
share of cranks; occasionally Kansas
gales terminate in a Missouri, illinois,
Ohio or New England cyclone, but all
these in nowise effect the cheapest and
best lands that the sun shines on today.

From he Atchison Champion.

From The Atcaison Champion
The papers report Bank Commissioner
Breiden;hal as saying that the Kansas
state banks are ''hoarding gold" Prob
ably he never said anything of the kind.
If he did. he demonstrated that be is Il
great chump. His official duties give
him no information as TO the national
banks. and all those who noticed their
last statement observed that they did not
report any unusual amour. OF gold on
hand. The state banks have 10 business
reason TO 'hoard' gold, and they are not
doing anything OF the kind. The object
Of the publication was doubtless par
tisan one, but it will fall fiat. Wall
Street has monopoly of the business Of
boarding gold" and there is not the
slightest danger that the Kansas bankers
Will interfere with it. A major portion
CT al the bank stock and ali the bank
deposits in Kansas is owned by men who
own and operate Kansas farms, and the
money needed to manage the farms,
move the crops and pay the merchants is
not sin boarded gold, but in moving
greenbacks, bank notes, gold, silver and
checks upon the banks.

Kansas is possessed of phenomenal
soil and climate. Nobody questions the
fact. Three weeks ago foreign experts
and more newly arrived farmers were
declaring that in the absence Of copious
showers the wheat and oats crops would
prove a signal failure. 1t didn't rain
and wheat took a jump upwards in price
accordingly. 1t not only did not rain
but n drying wind has been blowing
great guns ever since, eliminating yes
terday morning in a stiff breeze. Still
the EAGLES aivices from this the great
est wheat section of the state. are 20 the
effect tiiat wheat and oats are all right
and VIII he all right though no rain
should fall for two weeks or more.

DEMOCRATIC PART,ZANSHIP.

From the New York Tribune.
Il is The duty of the people through
out the country TO make torcible pre-
sentatIon of their views concerning the
conduct Of the Democratic majority in
this Roach affair. 1t is not u matter of
furnishing Roach, nor entirely matter
Of purging the senate. Ii is especially a
matter OF protecting the national honor.
The Democrats have chosen 20 submit
10 the presence in the senate OF man
whom they know to be criminal and a
fugitive from justice because their ma
Jority there is small. and because the
state from which this man comes is a
Republican state and will undoubtedly
replace HIM with a Republican senator.
II they were honest, if they had res
pect for the honor of the senate and of
the nation, it would be at the risk of their
partisan control, and therefore they pre-
fer TO act the part of edwards and of
men who have no regard for the char
acter of the body Of which they are
members. 1t should be impressed upon
them by all methods within the reach
Of the public that this sort of indecent
partisanship can not be tolerated.

With few exceptions the Santa Fe
striking employees paid no attention to
manager Frey's notification to them to
return to work Thursday morning OF
they would be barred from the COM
pany's service. This makes the issue
plain and decisive. So far the company
claims that it is not seriously inconven-
fenced by the strike, as only a compare
lively small number of its employees have
quit. and they from only one depart
ment. Aud no effort has been made, as
far as the public knows, to involve other
departments of the company's service,
nor have the strikers manifested any
disposition 10 prevent others from taking
their places. Whatever the final out
come may be it is hoped that both sides
will maintain peaceable attitude. and
not resort to violent measures 10 coerce
