It will be observed that after the enact
ment of the Mckinley tariffs higher
duties the decline was continuous. Be
fore the election of 1892 the price of fine
that of medium wool had declined 10 per
cent. The first three years of the Nc
Kinley law brought fine wool down from
SO to 90 cents, medium from 81 to "A cents,
and course from 81 to q cents. Here was
a fail of from 30 to 35 pei. cent, which
followed an increase in duties amounting
to so per cent, as shown by the official
ad valorem equivalents. These facts
should not be ignored by Governor Nc
Kinley and other Republicans while they
are talking about wool.-New York Times.

The Republicans appeal to the people
to elect their candidates to Congress in
order to do something with the tariff or
to stop the Democrats from doing some
thing. What is it that they propose to
do?
if the next House of Representatives
were to be unanimous'x Republican, it
could not change the Democratic tariff
policy. That is fixed for years to come.
What is it that they propose to prevent

TIE OLD SOLDIERS.

From the Speech Of Geo. L. Douglass at the Baxter
Springs Reunion, August 81, 1881
The debt we owe to the armies of the
Uuion is the debt. not alone Of this, but
of every land. The Greenlander on his
barren coast, the Russian peasant in the
heart of the mighty empire of the car,
the British workman at his forge, the
Hindoo in his distant home, the dweller
in the remotest island of the sea, are
alike beneficiaries of the bravery and
the sacrifices CT the men who saved
the Union and stamped from the face of
modern civilization the blot of Ameri-
can slavery.
The historian who would measure the
results of that war by the mere political
and the immediate emancipation
of four millions of slaves is short
sighted indeed. Vast as was the gift
of freedom to four million of black men,
the gift to the white race by the coEse-
quent change in the whole course of
American thoguht, education, civiliza-
ton and influence was infinitely greater
and grander. And when / take the grey
haired veteran by the hand ! reverently
think of him. not only as one 10 whom
my devoutest thanks are due for the
preservation of the Union in its integrity
and the flag in its glory, but as one of
the grand army that did greater service
70 the cause OF Christian civilization
throughout the world than any other
army that ever battled on American
soil. l. is no demogogy TO say this: it is
but the acknowledgement; of an ever
lasting truIh. l care not what are the
political affiliations of any man, he
honors himself only when he honors the
men whose valor saved for him a coun-
try and flag.

vague traditions have doated in the
air that at some earlier period q fabu-

among the foothills that skirt the east
ern border of Brandon. When, where
and by whom, was the insolvable
enigma These traditional myths be-
gan to assume concrete form about
the year 1920, from the advent of .
stranger of some three score years,
who had been wandering for a long
time over the hills in Chittendep and
Brandon. By Typographical memory
be was convinced that he had approx
mately located the object Of his search
near the cabin of man named Rogers,
about three and one-half miles east
from the village Of Brandon
The stranger engaged board with
Rogers and disclosed to him his per.
sonal history, that Of the mining COM
pany, and the purpose Of bis visit BE
represented himself as the youngest
Of a party Of fourteen, all Spaniards,
ooe of whom was a woman and his
mother. He said that he was born in
camp and remained with them till
their removal, when he was about if
teen years Of age; that they mined
about two and q half tons Of silver,
which was deposited In subterranean
cavern of great depth, and that the
approaches to it were carefully filed
and concealed, and, so far as pos
sible, all trace of their work effaced;
that they were driven away by the
hostility Of the Indians and intended
to return at some time and reclaim
their property. and that for the pur-
pose of identification they had buried
three iron wedges marked with certain
symbols that would indicate the
opening of the avenue to their
hidden wealth. He invited Rogers
to join him in the search and
offered him one-half OF the spolls-
The invitation was declined through
distrust Of the man. He then secured
the cooperation Of one Field, and they
searched one or two more seasons in
vain for the hidden wedges. During
temporary absence Of the stranger
Field found the wedges, but concealed
the fact from his partner on his return.
At length the stranger became dis
couraged and disappeared from the
scene. Field prosecuted the work
with untiring tenacity until all his re-
sources were exhausted. Without q
knowledge of the key to the symbolic
wedges they were of little avail Two
of these wedges have been lost; one is
now in the possession of a gentleman
in Rutland who was among the last to
abandon the scheme, though his~con-
fidence in it is mistaken.

by His Plucky Com rnde.
Among the many pastimes enjoyed
by the inhabitants of Pacific Grove,
Cal, says the San Francisco Examiner,
abalone hunting is one largely INDUCED
in, both on account of the beauty of
the shell of this mollusk and also the
delicacy of the meat. A few days ago
two boys, about seventeen and eigh-
teen years of age, thought it would BE-
a profitable undertaking to go out by
the Point Pinos lighthouse and try
their luck among the large masses of
rocks there. They arrived at their
destination at ebb tide, and proceeded
to hunt for the shells. Abalones, as
rule, fasten themselves to the under
surface of large rocks. While the
boys were scrambling among the rocks
they came across largo creviee flied
with water. Kelp or seawced was
floating on the surface o. the water in
this black pool, and amid the tangle of
tawny whip-like stems, bulbs and
masses of leaves bubbles arose in
quick succession as If the water was
boiling. The curiosity of the boys WINS
thoroughly aroused by this apparent
phenomenon. and after watching the
bubbling water awhile they decided to
investigate. One of them leaped over
the pool, and leaning over the edge
closely examined the kelp. What he
finally espied in the brown floating
mass Of weeds he thought was the tail
of an eel Reassured by HIS conclusion,
and with the knowledge that cells are
perfectly harmless, he grabbed for the
moving object and his hand closed Hrm-
ly on it.
Like the long lash Of whip curling
at the end of stalk welded by an ex-
pert driver, swiftly uprose from the
dark waters purplish, mottled thing
which fastened itself like snake
about the outstretched arm Of the boy
With impetuous motion he attempted
to withdraw his hand, but the Shiny
thing chung to him, and the boy was
dragged into the pool Then more of
those horrible snake-like eppendages
thrust themselves up and waved in the
air, clutchiug at the frantic victim, and
from hideous barrel-shaped body two
bead-like eyes over q vickcd-lool-iDg
beak watched the struggles Of the boy,

its prey. The boy was in the grasp of

stin gripped firmly, be succeeded 10

SHERIFF hOYSE CoRaECTS A MIS-
STATEMENT,
WICHITA. April 2, 1894.


To the Editor Of the Eagle.
A very incorrect statement has bsen pub
lisbed in some papers IN regard 10 Mr.
Douglass. Il is alleged that Douglass
asked permission" to 90 before the recent
sherffs meeting at Topeka and 'clear
himself of responsibility for this provision
in the mortgage bill cutting off sheriff's
commissions in certain cases; and some
other Statements are made purporting to
detail what occurred, representing Mr..
Douglass in an unfayorable light. 1t is
evident that the reporters were imposed
upon by some enemy of MIR. Douglass. L
was at the meeting and / know that every
word of the published statement, deroea-
tory TO Mr.. Douglass. is the work OF some
body's imagination or malice.
l happen to know that Douglass never
asked or even suggested going before the
meeting for any purpose: but that lie was
invited. He came in for a few minutes
and made quiet and 9iguified statement
of The reasons which led him 10 offer the
amendment in regard TO foreclosure fees
aud stating that il was not Intended to do
any injustice to anybody One or two
questions were asked him which ne ans
wered frankly and without the slightest
hesitation.
Il is wholly untrue that the Republican
sheritfs as bofy are opposed to the NOM
ination OF Mr.. Douglass for congressman at
large. Several of Them To my personal
knowledge are warm friends aud support
ers OF Mr.. Douglass. They think
be was wrong on the proposition
to reduce their commissions; but they
know he was right on great many other
questions of great Importance 60 the people
Of this state; and in the coming fight for
the redemption of Kansas they don't pro-
pose to let such question as this inter-
fere with their duty as Republicans to
help puo up the strongest possible ticket.
The Popui.st sherIffs and ex-sberiffs are,
of course, down on D0uglass. He helped
beat so many'uf them last fall that they
think he would be Dad man to have on
the Republican ticket this year. That's
why Pm for him. Yours respectfully,
D. Il. RoYSR
Sheriff of Sedgwick County.
