In yesterdays EAGLE reference was
made the statements contained in late
bulletins issued by the census bureau
concerning the mortgage Indebtedness
of farm families in Vermont and Rhode
Island, which statements show the IN
cumbrances upon the farms in those
states to be greater, relatively, than
those in the west. In line with that
showing is the following taken from
fridays Arkansas City Traveller:
"kansas farmers are poor" say some
of our eastern friends who are trying to
stav the tide which is looking this way.
Some of them are poor. but the writer,
having lived in the best agricultural
state east of tine Mississippi river and
having had opportunities of noting the
condition of farmers there, he feels JUS
titled. after ten years residence in Nan
sas. IN saying that larger per cent. OF
Kansas farmers own the land they till
than do those IN the older states.

THE ERA OF WOMEN,

Miss Susan B. Anthony is credited
with saying that we are on the eve OF
the era of unmarried women; that the
progress of self reliance and self support
among women will diminish marriages;
that women, finding themselves able 10
paddle their own canoe, will propel their
respective banks without husbandly
assistance. Miss Anthony might have
gone further.
Women are forcing themselves into
every avenue of trade and business; into
every profession. Women are seeking
work everywhere. They don't quarrel
about long hours or short pay.
Women want work; men don't. Every
where men are planning and scheming
to beat work. Every day men strike for
shorter hours and more pay. Men resort
to every device TO beat work while
women go out daily and hourly to seek
it.
One-half the men are willing that
their wives should support them while
one-half the women do not object to
supporting their husbands.
The women will run the country and
the men will not object. The laws In
time will be passed for the protection of
men and not women.
Men grow lazier and more stupid each
succeeding generation, while the women
grow brighter, smarter and more indus
trious.
There is nothing a man can do that a
woman can't do better, except In the eX-
ertion of mere physical force. Brains
beat muscle, and the women have the
brains.
Women are honest. Men are not,
always. Women are today managing
the financial ends of the farms; and
they succeed. A woman consents to
sign mortgage under protest. Did she
have her way there would be fewer
mortgages, fewer debts, fewer failures
in life.
Men might as well look these facts in
the face and try to profit by them.

THE GOLD WILL COME BACK.


England-and, in fact, all OF the capt.
talists of western Europe-have been
dabbling in South American and Aus
tralian booms, and the end has come.
To sustain their ventures i'll these lands
America has been compelled to contrib
ute millions of gold, which has been
flowing out of the country for months,
to pay for bonds, stocks and other
values which America unloaded in
Europe during her Late boom, but which
are now sent back here to be cashed at
whatever the market may warrant.
Balances have been struck all around,
aud there is deal been charged up to
the wrong side Of the profit and loss ac-
count. But America comes out on top
first, and her securities offer the safest
investments today Of any other country
and the gold that is gone will come
again and in the near future.

Of Mark-the beheading of John the

the entertainment afforded him that he

was that the good and innocent man,
through the hatred of some he had dis
pleased, lost his head. Per contra, the
chief executive of Missouri was so COM
pletely captured by the kindly atten-

afforded by his entertainers that he

SOUND KANSAS BANKS.

The banks of the west seem little dis
turbed by the unsettled condition at
money centers, brought about by specu-
lative ventures and failing trusts. The
country banks so called, that is the banks
of the county seat towns inkansas, show
more easy and prosperous condition than
for years. The other day editorial
reference was made in the EAGLE to the
fact that bank in Ottawa, Kan, had
$245, 900 on deposit. But yesterday we
incidentlv ran across a much better
showing, made by bank close to home,
that of the Exchange Bank of FL Dorado,
which at the close of business ON May
4th, as shown by the sworn statement
returned to the comptroller at Washing
ton, had on deposit 1867, 229.61. In that
connection we recall the fact that the
cashier of that bank, Mr.. IL. H. Gardner
said, but a short time since, that their
deposits belong almost in entirely to the
farmers Of Butler county.
The condition of Kansas banks are so
favorable in condition, as to surplus
funds. that the brokers of Chicago and
Kansas City are offering four months
paper of the very best character for sale
10 them.
While Wichita banks would not prop
erlv come under the head of country
banks, still they are the repositories for
farmers. Referring to the sworn state
ment of the Wichita National, published
in these columns yesterday morning we
find the amount of deposits to be SELL
574.6S or upwards of hall million oil
! dollars.

The down-easters are now explaining
the heavy mortgage Indebtedness of the
farmers in those states, as shown by the
census bulletins, by saying that the
farmers there secured the loans on lands
to invest in loans in Kansas and other
western states at higher rate of inter
est than they pay. We accept the ex-
PLANTATION; it is the highest compliment
they could pay the west, both in the
value of the basis of the loans here (our
land and the confidence they manifest
in the security.

NON-PARTISAN 2

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Five men, ex-soldiers, who formerly
belonged to Garfield post, have taken
advantage "a very mean one) of Memo
rial Day to issue Peoples party adj
dress to ex-soldiers inviting them to
participate in Memorial services. What
gall these fellows have! If they had
visited their post oftener they would
know that every year flowers are strewn
over the graves of the two or three eX-
Confederate soldiers buried in our GEM
eteres; that Garfield post two years ago
contributed SO to build home for ex-
Coufederates in Texas, and that the post
sends money south nearly every year for
the purpose of decorating the graves of
all ex-soidiers. But when you come to
"enthusing the youth of the land with
patriotism and love of country" by
pointing to the record of the eX-Confed-
crates. the writer asks to be excused.
Talk about on-partisanship. These
fellows couldn't be non partisan.

ECHOES.

More than words CT fair control;
Acts repressed with sudden feeling.
Leap as lightning thro' the soul.
Church bells well nigh lost in distance,
Often strike with surer aim
Than the presents ringing music,
That has tasted earthly fame.
And sometimes a faint reminder
OF a love we once have known.
Teaches how a smile is made,
TO represent moan.
Oh, how oft in twilight dreamings.

DEMOCRATIC DEMAGoGY,

We do not believe the statement made
in the dispatches a few days ago in re-
gard to reciprocity with Cuba and Bra
I'll. That is to say, we do not believe
that those countries are equity rs
charged" in the Democratic Indictment.
This and similar dispatches, emanating
from Democratic sources, which have
been sent out recently, form part of
the Democratic program, which Is the
overflow of reciprocity. Cleveland, it
will be remembered, opposed reciprocity
during his former administration. 'The
assault which the Democratic party
during the late campaign made upon
the wall of protective duties is now
shifted against reciprocity for the
purpose of replacing the tariff
bars which reciprocity let down"
Cuba and Brazil are partly regarded
as the backbone and main trunk of the
reciprocity system. Abrogate the reel
procity treaties with these two countries,
and there will be nothing of any account
left of reciprocity with Latin America.
The falsity of the pretext that the causes
for abrogating these treaties are purely
local, Is revealed in the purpose every
where expressed in Democratic circles
that reciprocity must go because
the tariff on sugar and coffee is required
for revenue ends in order that the tariff
may be reduced somewhere else. 1t is
the pronounced policy of taxed sugar
and taxed coffee, which calls for the
repeal of reciprocity with Cuba and
Brazil
