CHICAGO,S GALL.

The Chicago Herald looks with char
acteristic Chicago jealousy upon Gov
erner dwellings, little enterprise of
sending agents to the worlds fair to
meet and confer with representatives Of
foreign countries that may he met there
looking to the building up Of a more
direct trade between those countries and
this state by establishing line of
steamers to ply between Galveston and
European ports. The success Of such
an enterprise would mean considera-
BILE loss to the Chicago market and to
the transportation lines centering there
from the east and west, and herein is
found the secret of Chicago's opposition.
The Herald's attempt to divert atten-
tiion from the merits of the proposition
IN question by referring TO the political
status Of this state and the prevailing
ruction in the mining districts is weak
and cowardly subterfuge and cannot
but fail of its purpose. And, enpassante,
it would be matter of some surprise to
see Kansas newspaper that aspires to
leadership. as the Leavenworth Times,
reproduce the Heraid's gall in its edi-
torial columns, but for the circumstance
that such said paper were published on
the Missouri river basing line" and is
"agin" Kansas interests in these matters.

terribly wrong in recommending I'M

with gold. Let the Sherman law be so
amended as to provide for the redemp-
ton of these notes il case our supply of
gold gets too low in a % per cent. bond.

financial problem. Let all other paper

THE VALUE OF TRUTH.
Teaching the Young How to Cope with
Falsehood and Dishonesty.

EaiSehoOd and dishonesty.
Life is too short for evasions. bubbles,
untruthfulness, and neglect: If we de-
sire to get the best out of life, we mus:
live the best ourselves. To every man
and woman blessed with liberal, or
even a common school education there
is given an added responsibility. We
must war against the eorrupting infiu-
e~ce of a foreign population which in
creases rapidly, and brings with it vice
and ignorance; we must place our chill
dren side by side with children who
know nothing of pure home training,
and children who have never had "a
home; we must meet falsehood with
truth, and dishonesty with honor. and so
train the youth Of this broad land
that a falsehood would be TO them the
vile thing it really is. At West Point
the young cadet is taught that false
hood is beneath the dignity OF an Off
Ger and 4 gentleman; in the wide
world let us teach our young army Of
coming rulers. in small things, as in
great, the mighty power of Truth.
Alas for any people when Honor and
Truth make way for Policy and Ex-
pediency. 1T was Ruskin who said,
Teach your sons that their bravery is
but a fools boast. and their deeds but

Failing to secure an extra session of
the legislature for the alleged purpose
of providing the farmers CT the western
counties, where the wheat crop was a
partial failure, with seed wheat, the Pop
leaders out there have fallen upon an
ether scheme to turn the magnifed dis
tress to partisan account. Their plan is
10 secure wheat by whatever means and
donate it to those in need of it for seed
ing purposes, with the understanding
that they will support the Pop ticket in
the coming election. That is the acme
of Patriotism (;)--to traffic upon the mis-
fortunes of their fellows.

Colonel Anthony objects because Pro
fessor Dyche's collection of animals is
the only portion of the Kansas exhibi.
ct the worlds fair that gets much atten-
ton from the press. As this is great
agricultural state he thinks we ought to
show the world something besides
stuffed animals. If the colonel will con-
slider for a moment that wild animals
are bound to monopolize the attention
given to the state at the fair, we are sure
he will withdraw his objection to the
Dyche collection, it being infinitely less
injurious and no more misleading than
the two-legged variety that are running

The EAGLE has often claimed that tn.
grass Of Kansas should be one of her
most valuable products and that the
amount that annually goes to waste ex-
ceeded in value the entire agricultural
products of some pretentious states.
This, II seems, is one of the wears when
it is practicable TO export hay from Kan
sas. With reasonable rates to the Gulf
millions of dollars worth of hav could ba
shipped with profit to the road and 70
the dealers. The drouth in France and
England has been so extended as to de-
mand an immense import of fodder and
if il is profitable to export hay from the
eastern Atlantic ports as the market re-
ports show they are doing, there is no
reason why Kansas hay, which sells at
home for one-third the price i, COM
mands in the east. cannot find an outlet
via the gulf and prove profitable to all
concerned.

We treated our binturongs to larger
