NO CONFLICT OF INTERESTS,

From the Kansas City Gazette.
We call the attention of our people to
the remarkable screed, published In an
other column, from the Wichita EAGLE.
1t should have some influence in Undue
ing the people of Kansas City, Kansas,
to brace up, and accelerate the growth
toward a separate identity which nature
has given Us.
There is no clashing of interests be-
tween Kansas City and Wichita, certain
ly none between the effort of the Ga
zette to pull the city on the Kansas
side of the state line and Wichita, or
any other point III Kansas. Wichita
could not hope to get the trade of the
vast country known as southern Neb-
raska and northern Kansas. She could
not hope to divert the trade from the
main line Of the Santa Fe around on a
branch. She does not even stop one
third of the trade which comes right by
her door from Oklahoma and the Terri
tory. A greater engineer than the man
who laid out Wichita, and greater even
than the editor of the EAGLE, whose en-
thusiasm and intensity as exhibited in
the article we copy have made Wichita,
built this country and developed conven-
lent POINTS and trade cen,ers.
This being the case. which has been
demonstrated by results after the most
intense rivalry, what is the duty of Kan
sas people? Simply to second the efforts
of the Gazette In pulling the city made
by Kansas across the line within the
borders of Kansas. Moved by Marsh
Murdoch and seconded by j. X. Hudson

and it shall be done. But little more

MONOPOLISTlC HALF BREEDS.
The Real Owners OF the Lands Of the
Five Nations.

The lands of the five nations arc
ostensibly held in common, but as a
mattel of fact the disproportion in
HOLDINGS is monopolistic to a remark
able degree. The real Indian derives
little benefit from his patrimonial
acres. The pa.e-skinned Jacob has
stolen Esau's birthright. There are
farms, rich and highly cultivated,
of from FIVE thousand to twenty
FIVE thousand acres in a body;
pastures of long succulent grass
whose fences horseman cannot
encompass from sun TO sun; mines
opulent with their stores of coal; but
they are controlled by professional q
men, or the mixed breeds whose domi-
nant blood is white. II is said that
score of Chickasaw citizens. in whom
com bined there is hardly enough
aboriginal blood to make fuli-biood
Indian, control nearly ninety per cent
of the arabic lands OF that nation. A
A Cherokee squaw man Is said TO hold
more land than is held by all the full
bloo6s in the tribe. Under the tribal
law there is no limit 20 the extent of q
citizens holding. He can control and
enjoy the usufruct Of as much land as
he can fence without encrosching upon
the improvements OF fellow-citizen
As consequence the national domain
has passed into the possession OF the
more intelligent and entcrprising eie-
nents of the tribe, the in.er-married
citizens and mixed breeds, vino con-

Referring to General John B. Gordon's
publicly uttered sentiment that the flag
of the United States is "the symbol of
Hope to all the fettered millions of the
earth," the Charleston News and Cour-
ier says:
1t is the simple statement Of fact to
say that the United States flag is the
symbol of their subjugation TO more than
twelve millions of the citizens of the
United States General Gordon's pretty
and patriotic sentiment, therefore, Is
more pretty and patriotic than true.
1t is but just to say of the two
southrons that General Gordon was one
of the bravest and best officers in the
armies of the south, while the Palmetto
patriot is post bellum production.

1t is announced from Washington
that delegation of Republicans from
Utah is at the capital, urging the admis-
sion Ct that territory to statehood.
Their reasons for asking this are not
stated, but it is probable that, despairing
of the proper control of the Mormon
question by the federal government,
they hope for better things under a
local organized government-thath home

would be preferable to Democratic con-

WHO DEFEATED THs TosREY BILL9

The untimely defeat of the bankruptcy
bill is another evidence of Democratic
demagogy. The causes leading to the
necessity for this measure have been
purely commercial in character, and the
issue should have been divorced en-
lirely from political factions or prefer
enceS. lt was enough, however, to
know that it was transmitted from a
it to the political headsman whose busi-
ness it is TO decapitate everything not
branded with Democracy of the 1898
variety. 1t may be that this admins
tration can continue this menacing atti-
tude toward the business interests of
this country. Our only prerogatIve
seems to be to wait and see. The
striking feature of the situation is that
while our chief executive has a policy
both original and aggressive, and sub
ject to no higher influence than his own
dictum, his particular efforts toward re-
form seem to be in the direction of COM
mercial and business interests. He has
not spoken officially in opposition to the
Torrey bill, but it would be hard to con-
vince the public that it had not
the seal of his anathema, with explicit
orders for Its early defeat. 1t was the
cheapest kind of demagogism to object
to it, as was done on the floor of the
house, on the ground that it was framed
in the interest OF the creditor class. That
would have been cause sufficient for its
passage without DEBATE by these paid
emissaries of Wall street. Every fair
minded man who had examined the text
! of the bill knew that it was framed in
justice 10 the honest debtor.
The rogue needs no protection, and
the penalty provided for that class was
the best possible reason for its pass
age. No nation ever had, or should have
such a law which did not provide both
voluntary and inyolutary features. Ii
