wICH1rA,s INTERSTATE FAIR.

No town in the state of Kansas, or IN
the west, has the progressiveness
of the city of Wichita From the time
it was a hamlet its citizens have had
more than state renown for going for
anything they want. They have the
necessary push and energy to make
thing succeed after they have taken
hold of It,
It Will be little wonder, then, if the
Peerless Princess can take up a thing
that another town has carried to fail
ure, and make a success of it.
The state fair will be held in Wichita
this year. For years it has been held in
Topeka. 1t was not a success there.
Rather it was drag on the town and
the state fair idea in Topeka eventually
died of hamilton.
Wichita never lets a good thing pass
by, and when Topeka dropped the state
fair as a white elephant Wichita men
with the progressive Wichita spirit lost
no time IN taking it up. Next month
this city will see what 1t can do with
something which Topeka, another Kan
sas town, failed with.
At the present time it appears that
Wichita will make that fair howiing
success and it will become what state
fairs are in other states, the exposition
of the year.
1t cannot help he a success from the
fact that Wichita is the center of one of
the finest agricultural districts in the
world. There is territory contiguous to
this city Of which great portion of our
citizens have no idea at all. The great
Arkansas valley Is known to everybody
but few here have ever given any atten
ton 10 the marvellous productive lands
10 the south of US. Wichita has two
railroads which run through the great
territory of Oklahoma and the Chicka-
saw country. IL the latter Indian ma
ton q tract of land Known as Paul's
valley has no superior on the whole
earth. Shortly after noon every day
there are many people in the Chickasaw
nation who read the EAGLE published on
-he same day. There are people in
twenty miles of the northern line of
Texas who read the EAGLE on the day 1t
s published. This great domain to the
south of us is contiguous to Wichita. 1t
IS interested IN Wichita and what
Wichita does. 1t is interested in our
state fair and Oklahoma will send many
IF its fine products to be exhibited at
our exposition. The Kansas state fair |
will, in consequence of moving TO |
become an interstate fair.

PRACTICE OF FLOPPINo.

1t has always been and it is now more
questionable than ever whether there is
much influence in one mans flop to
another party. 1t is extremely doubt
full whether Senator Jones of Nevada
who has wiggled out Of the Republican
party and plunged into the Popnlist
party takes as many as hundred Re-
publicans with him in all this great land
of millions.
Senator Jones was hasty. He will live
TO see the day when he will acknowl-
edge with sorrow this very thing. He
Will some day see that when this country
must have reform it will get it through
the Republican party. He will see that
he was not alone in the belief that this
country needed more money and de-
maDded the reconciliation of silver.
There are thousands of Republicans who
demand the same thing today. They
are not going TO leave their party to ac-
complish the restoration of silver. They
are going TO accomplish it within the
Republican party. They are already do
ing it. Most of the Republican conven-
tons go far this summer have adopted a
vigorous silver plank. If this country
needs more money and silver, as it does.
Senator Jones is very weak when he
thinks that he alone is the only Republi-
oan left who has the sense and the cour-
age to demand and fight for it. There
are other Republicans who want silver
and they constitute a great majority of
the Republican party. They control
that party and will restore silver.
Jones should have remained in the
Republican party and secured the restor-
alton of silver through that course. He
will not secure silver by voting and sup
porting the Populists. He will not get
the people of this country TO tear out
the foundations of this government for
free silver simply. Free silver is a side
issue with the Populists. They will
deny this, but It is fact. Their great
hobbies are Anarchistic schemes which
have nothing to do with silver. Jones
will not get free silver by supporting a
party which is led by Senator PETER. a
man who during the past year has been
idiotlc enough 10 propose in various bills
in congress to give away billions of dol
lars to the people-monev made out Of
paste-board or anything else handy.
The party which viii restore silver
will be the Republican party. 1t can be
trusted 10 remedy the finances of the
government with safety to the govern
ment. The men in the Republican
party are well aware of this and when
Senator Jones leaves the party he simply
leaves bv himself

DOWN TREY GO.

1t seem. that the anything better
than nothing" theory is wrong. The
Wilson ',what is it, has been a law,
tight and fast, for ten days, and no sign
of improvement yet. On the contrary
there is general scaling down OF wages
to meet the new adjustment of tariffs
on staple goods.
The potteries of Trenton. \. j.. find it
necessary to cut wages twelve and one
half per cent in order to compete with
foreign potteries. The manufacturers
of plate glass in Pittsburg have notified
their employees that they must make a
reduction of 20 per cent in wages or
close down. These are the lessons
which come home to the wage Garner
who wanted change. 1t is undoubt-
eddy a change, but not the kind promised
by the Democratic speakers. Ii is diff
cult to imagine the gall required to back
up Democratic stump speech, support
ing tariff reform, before an audience of
such men. Rats! will be the best form
Of applause.

WAITE WEEPS AT LAST.

The denomination of Waite in Colora-
do tells the story. 1t is proof to the
country that the Pops in that state are
out of material. 1t shows, too, that not
one among them, save the old blood
wader, is willing to stand up to be
knocked down, or retired to private life
at the polls. His snuffiing repentance
before the convention was surely not a
very robust claim to the patronage of
bis party. 1t was rather confession of
constitutional weakness, which the
public has seen all along, but, prior 10
this convention he has been so COM
bative with his mouth that this exhibit
of contrition is genuine surprise. If
the convention did nothing else it
brought the old reprobate to his knees,
and extorted the confession that he was
at least human.
