Washington Cor Kansas Farmer
Il suppose you will be down to Wash
ington with the rest of the Kansas
cranks to attend the silver convention
and the Alliance services which trans
pire about the same time. 1t does beat
all h, Heath, how Kansas gets 10 the
front with new and startling sensations
and occupies the attention of the entire
country to the exclusion OF all the rest
OF the states. The Sandwich islands,
France with her canal expose--no there
is no place on earth in it with Kansas.

AN UNSETTLED QUESTION.

CoLDwATER, Kan, Feb. II, 1899.
To the Editor OF the Eagle:
Will you kindly answer this, as there
is quite diversity of opinion here con-
corning it: Can man sell his farm, if
he lives on it and claims it as a home
stead, and give clear title if there is a
Judgment against him? Our district
clerk thinks the judgment is good when
he attempts to sell, but not as long as he
resides on the land. Respectfully,
a SUBSCRIBER.
Good lawyers differ on the point,
which, we believe, has never been fully
tested in the courts.-ED. EAGLE.

: Sort of Plea in Avoidance.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The sum and substance of Mr. Clark
sons screed is that Mr.. Harrison did not
sufficiently consult some of the bosses,
which doubtless accounts for the fact
that his administration has been so good.
Only yesterday we published a letter
from Mr.. Blaine, anticipating the defeat
of 1899, and ascribing the fault to the
leaders of the last Republican house. 1t
is our judgment that neither The presi-
dent or the bosses had much to do with
the defeat of the party. There is spirit
of Socialism coming over this country
that will have to be met soon. 1t was
not Mr.. Harrison, and not so much his
party, but the prevailing order OF things
against which some wise or unwise ob-
jections are raised. Dir. GARRISON has
said TOO much.

a Pen Portrait of Dunsmore.

EIOIII lLIo W O7t-ILI I'IIIIV.
Speaker" Dunsmore is an elegant
poser. There is nothing to him that will
last, except his gall. He has been every
thing so far as politics and professions
goa preacher, a railroad man, trades
man. lawyer, Republican, Prohi-
bitionist. a Greenbacker, a Democrat
and Populist. Like that thrifty fell
low, Guildenstern, in the play, Duns-
more is ticketed for job. 1t is amusing
to watch him sit in the hotel corridor
with his little hands in his little pockets
and his little legs dangling three inches
above the floor as he looks at his little
pansy face in the mirror showing by
complacent little mods that he wonders
how it is that his little head with its
little hair contains all he knows,

Always Loval TO Kansas.

Cash Taylor In Fairbury CNebJ News
Kansas probably has more newspapers
than any other state ia the Union and
every last one of them will swear by
Kansas every day in the week, shouting
its praises in the most fattering manner,
even though the editor, forman, devil
and general roustabout has not cent and
his patrons grinding him down to pau
per labor wages. They are perhaps the
most loyal and enthusiastic class of men
to be found in the state.

TRIBUTE TO SPEAKER DOUGLASS
From the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
No speaker has occupied a position
more delicate or more ovef-borne with
great responsibilities. His GOODNESS un-
der the most trying circumstances has
been marvellous and his courage sublime.
One indiscreet act of his might have
preci plated most disgraceful riot, and
unwise counsel from his lips would have
led to disaster
His action as speaker has been manly
and his words have been wise, brave and
patriotic. He has stood at full stature
in the full and furious blaze of the con-
test, the center of observation for every
lover of the state. He has "held the
fort" for the cause of justice and law,
against the bowls and jeers of partisan
ship run mad. He has maintained his
manhood against the mean and malig-
nant malice of All INSCRIPTIONS and revO-
lutionary foe and never quailed when
the executive and coordinate branch Of
the legislature joined hands with a will
full and desperate minority to depose the
ma iority, nullifv the constitution and
laws and defy the decision Of the courts.
Personal abuse by his enemies or covert
from within his own party lines,
cannot injure Mr.. Douglass. His posi-
ton, as matter of fact and right is i'm
Personal abuse ought to be-
come dead letter in political contests.
A mans reputation" is what people
say of him. His character is what he
really is in fact. The people may be
slow in seeing it, but after awhile they
look for and find the real character" of
the man, and by that test he and his
Iifework work will be judged.

Tho Era Of Speculation.

In these days of speculation and Of
tremendous fuctuation in Wall street
prices it is not surprising that weak hu-
man nature yields to great temptation.
The wonder is not that cashier, a pay
ing teller, a president, a custodian Of
trust funds, yields, but that so few
among the large number Of compare
lively poor men, handling hundreds Of
thousands of dollars and in many in
stances securities valued at millions, fall
by the wayside. 1t stands TO reason that
where one is detected half q dozen es-
cape disgrace, lucky turn in specula-
tion enabling them to recoup the strong
box and to replace the borrowed assets.
1t may be doubted if any Of the long list
of defaulters intended at the outset to
defraud their employers or their custo-
mers. It's the old story. The unexpect-
ed happened, the money was lost, the
hypothecated securities were sold, and
the inevitable discovery brought ruin
upon the defaulter and shame upon his
family and friends. - New York Re

earn peeling the nark on rree,.

For some months past farmers whose
fields touch the Darby creek near Ard
more, Pa, have noticed that the bushes
and small trees along the waters edge
were dying. An investigation showed
that the bark had been peeled off the
trunks near the ground. Only bushes
and trees that overhang the creek are
affected The farmers thought it must
be the work OF rabbits and as the depre-
dahons extended for three miles whole
sale raid upon the bunnies was planned.
Herbert A. Enochs says that a timely
and startling discovery thwarted the
farmers in their crusade. With loaded
gun farmer sat by the stream to watch
for the shrub destroyers when he beheld
a large carp leap from the water and
catch at the bushes. Il was after fly
that had lighted there, but in its en-.
deavor to get it tore of a considerable
chunk of bark Then another carp was
seen doing tho same thing. They had
actually girdled all the bushes on the
banks for miles in catching flies. Phil
