The president will probably think
twice or three times before he again in
trustsan important matter in foreign
diplomacy to Walter Q. Gresham. The
latter is too evidently ruled by his
fierce hatred of the Harrison admin
istration and his desire to throw dis
credit on its acts, to be trusted where
there is any chance for such revenge.
While we do not excuse the president
for the course he has taken in the
Hawaiian matter, still it is very evi-
dent that the motive has been supplied
by Secretary Gresham, and it is also
evident that that motive has been re-
venge for fancied personal injuries
and Sights from President Harrison.
Better get revenge some other way,
Walter. Like Crank Prendergast, for
instance, who shot Mayor Harrison.
Your motive is worse, your attempt
just as determined, your mode of at
tack meaner, your cowardice more ap-
parent, and in the end you are less
successful. Better use gun next
time. The recoil won't be so likely
to hurt you.

From the iron mines of Michigan
and Wisconsin comes a wall Of poverty
and distress that is hard to believe
can be real. In such country as this,
where nature has bestowed her gifts
in her most lavish manner, there
must be and is something awfully,
hideously wrong when men women and
children can starye and freeze--and yet
are willing to work. Various causes
are assigned for this terrible distress.
and considerable feeling aroused by
attributing it to the Democratic ad-
ministration. Without stopping to
discuss it from a political standpoint,
we do pause to remark that, as Ameri-
can citizens. interested in our coun-
try's welfare and proud of our place
among the nations of the earth, we
should throw aside partisan feeling and
Inquire tor the cause or causes OF such
widespread distress. Itis disgraceful
thing that men who are able and will
ing to work must see their families
starye before their very eyes. or else
accept half grudging charity when
others are rolling III millions more OF
wealth than they can use. We are
neither anarchists nor communists,
| but we do believe that our system is
such as to divide the product Of men's $
labor unequally. All we ask is that
each and every man get all he earns
| no more aud mo less. We should not
ask more than this--can we ask less?

Christmas Day.

Though Christmas day is now regarded
as festival peculiar to the Christian re-
ligion, as distinguished from all other
forms of belief. its claim to be so regard
ed is quite doubtful AS the month of
December in Judea is one of rain and
storms, the Nativity could hardly have
been on the 25th of that month, as shep-
herds and their flocks would not have
been out on the plains of Bethlehem in
such weather. A fairly good case has
been made out for October, and it is GER
tain that until the fifth century, the date
was later than the 25th of December. Pos
sibly the festival may have been placed at
the date it now is by the early Christians
in their desire to displace the Roman
Saturnalia, heather orgie. Among
our Anglo-Saxon ancestors such mid
winter festival seems to have been known
long before the priests of the new religion
had made their way from Rome into the
forests of Germany. However disputes
as to date or origin may be settled, Christ
mas is the day of gifts and good will. and

a PLEA IN AVOIDANCE,

The Chicago Tribune treats its readers
to a screed against the silverites of Kan
sas and Colorado by holding them re-
sponsible in measure. for their bank
failures. This is well enough in its way
but the effort to cast aspersion on the
two states named by the employment of
good logic is not at all relished in this
quarter. Inferventially it points the
conclusion that bank failures have been
more numerous in these states than
elsewhere. Speaking for Kansas, she
repudiates the calumny and is ready
for a show down with all rivals. Had
the Tribune diluted its gall with
measure of candor it might
have cited the fact that Chica-
go has her advocates of free
silver and that she furnished her quota
of bank failures quite early in our
financial troubles. Indeed it NAV be
said with more fairness than is displayed
by the Tribune that the windy city
with all her inflated projects is the
center of the disastrous wave which
has spread over the country. This, no
doubt, is the counter irritant which
prompts her to scold and shift respon-
sibilitv. Her disgrac aful defeat in the
attempt to open the national fair on
Sunday, the contemplation of her gi-
gantic debts and the near approach of
the day of settlement and the inevita-
bic collapse which is TO follow the at
tempt keeps her in more or less
petulent mood. a measure of pity in
adyanceis, no doubt, the proper thing
She will be "on the country" soon
enough and Kansas will have the op-
portunity to provide tor her share of
mendicaut spectators. Meanwhile let
her remember that whether silver
heresies lead to bank failures or not
she occupies the colossal glass house
of the entire realm of civilization.

a PLAUSIBLE ~ REASON.

1t has been suggested that the reason
why Cleveland has pronounced so en-
phatically against silver Is the circum-
stance that both the other parties have
declared in their national platforms for
the coinage of silver along with gold. he
taking that fact as sufficient excuse for
his party to repudiate its declarations to
The same point. Here is the coinage
plank from each of the three platforms
of 1892:
Democratic-We hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country, and to the COIN
age of both gold and silver without dis
elimination against either metal and
without charge for minting.
Republican The American people
from tradition and interest favor BIZ
metallism, and tie Republican party de-
mands the use of gold and silver as
standard money, with such provisions,
to be determined by legislation, as will
secure the parity of values of the two
metals.
Populist-We demand free and I'M
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of Is to l.

THE KANSAS FARMER ON TOP.
Adverse periods in the industrial an,

Adverse periods in the industrial and
4 commercial life of country may wipe
out values and shrink recognized stand
ards to that degree that the very ground
upon which we walk no longer COM
mands a price in money, and until the
| demand for the productions of labor
fails to the extent of deprlvIng large
per cent. of all the army of mechanics
and artisans of chance to even earn
bread for themselves and families. Hard
| times are no respector of persons. The
capital list and the commercial man, alike
with the factory hand and laborer, faces
ruin. The whole body polite, becomes
congested and every species of labor,
whether mental or physical loses its
value, and the problem resolves itself for a
majority into the one question of
bread. But while hard times is no re-
spector of persons there is class, only
one class, who can rise superior to all
others. The farmer who is out of debt
is the sole and only individual whose
bread will come and whose sleep will be
restful, without any reference to the
price Of LIES commodities or the absence
of demand for labor. And this is es-
pecially true Of the farmers of south
Kansas at this very moment. Thou
sands upon thousands of factory people,
and thousands upon thousands of miners,
and of clerks, etc., etc., are being thrown
out of work in all the eastern states,
which fact in turn affects, disastrously,
the merchant, then the banker, then the
railroad, etc., around the entire COM
mercial and industrial circle back again
to the factory. While corn may
be worth little in the market
comparatively, and hogs and cattle
may be low priced, after all, the average |
Kansas farmer, in the sense of security, |
faces abundance. However pinehing the |
times, there IS no dread of disaster or of |
want in the heart of the Kansas farmer. |
There have been bigger wheat and oat |
crops, but seldom if ever were the pres |
ent prospects of an enormous yield of |
corn surpassed. Whatever may follow
the lack of a policy upon the part of
administration-and much |
of all of our troubles are directly at
certain: the Kansas farmer will have
heaps in his bins and fairness in his pas
lures and in his pens, whoever else may
starve for want of bread or fail for want
Of money.

| Of Kansas can afford to put his shoulder

We are pleased to note that Governor
Lewe!ling has decided to appoint com.
| mission to attend the worlds fair for the
purpose of holding conference with
| representatives of foreign powers to aid
this project. They will, of course, not
go in an official capacity, but they will
be able to place before those people our
advantages as a food producing state.
With maps and statistics it will
be easy of demonstration that
the trans Missouri states produce more
than half the surplus for shipment of
the whole country to foreign ports. This
refers especially TO the great staples
corn, wheat, beef and pork. The ever
perplexing problem of providing food
for the densely populated countries of
as population increases, and as the
meagre supply of land becomes less
fertile. Correspondlngly with the
growth of these markets 1t becomes of
greater importance that our products
should be delivered at the port Of con-
sumption at the least possible cost. 1t
follows that this can only be done by its
following the natural channels. This
we have in our Texas ports.
Pending the completion of the gov
eminent work at the harbor a vigilant
eye should be kept on the movements of
competing ports. 1t is already an
nounced that syndicate at New Or
leans will buy the entire carrying ca
pacity of line of steamers to a foreign
port. This is not only diverting our
trade to point in competition with our
natural outlet but it lays it down at the
southern terminus of eastern railway
systems interested in steamship lines
already established. By this rail-water
route the rates are figured to
us at about the same as via rail and the
northern lakes. This different route to
the same results would be no advantage
to us. 1t costs so much per ton per mile
to carry freights, both by land or water,
and it goes without saying that the
shortest is the best If the work on the
ietties can be fastened to completion by
our moral support or by the promise of
our trade to lines leading to Galveston,
we should not fail to take united action
at once. Meanwhile the governors &C
ton is to be commended as timely and
well conceived.

Strongly as the EAGLE deprecates and
condemns the threatening language of
some overheated advocates of free silver
coinage, just as strongly do we condemn
that harsh and selfish spirit on the other
side, which would approach and dispose
of the subject with utter disregard for
the well being of the people of the silver
producing sections of the country. The
subject is not one for rash and reckless
decision. The interests of the whole re-
public should be taken impartially into
account in diSposing of the silver ques-
ton, and due care should be taken that
noiujury shall be done that. with caution
and discretion, would be avoidable.

material growth this is Just now of
greatest Importance. Having direct
railway connections with deep water at
Galveston 1t remains only for us TO seek
the foreign market for our surplus to
insure full market prices. The long
shipment by rail TO the eastern sea-
board, and the system of exactine tolls

1t is admitted that Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa are in better condition and
have had fewer bank failures and bust
ness complications during the troublous
time through which the country has
just passed, than any other three states

matter. Ana the Populists are quick to
claim the credit for it, citing as proof
the circumstance that their party has
been largely in control in these states
for two or three years past. In one
