WHAT DID 1T.

In spite of the exceedingly favorable
statistical position of cotton, the price OF
that great staple stubbornly refuses to
respond In spite of two successive short
crops of cotton and crop for the cur
rent year considerably below the most
careful and conservative estimates of the
demand for consumption, the cotton
market has apparently been altogether
insensitive to these influences. AS the
recent circular of Hubbard, Price & Co.
says, ''the movement fully sustains small
crop estimates. and they are becoming
more generally accepted. That the
market does not advance as result is a
surprise and disappointment. The
bears claim that as i: does not advance
it must decline, and upon this theory
they have been increasing their interest
on the other side.
The southern planters and dealers are
greatly perpiexed at the situation and
the common query is what is it that
holds down the price of cotton in spite
of all the reasons cited for an advance:
The western wheat and corn grower and
cattle raiser and the eastern manufact-
urer find themselves in about the same
condition and are asking the same ques-
ton. The only answer that can be given
is found in the result of the election in
1892. The people voted for change,
and they got it.

AN HISTORIC BUILDING

Mrs. F. b. Plumb sends the editor of
the EAGLE handsomely mounted and
nicely framed photograph reproduction
of the old Emporia News building. a
two-story frame structure with an out
side stairway, which was built by her
husband in 1857. who had not at that
time gained his majority. The building
stood on one of the principal corners of
the town. at Sixth and Commercial
streets. The News occupied the up
stairs of this building. which was after.
wards owned by Jacob Stotler for many
years, the lower story being SUCCESSFULLY
used as a residence, postoffice, barber
shop, store, and what not, until the
News became daily. when both up
stairs and down were taken up by the
paper. Many, very many, are the mem
cries, the historical incidents and per-
sonGges which that picture awakens and
brings back. No other building in
southern Kansas figures so dislipctively
in the history of the state. But the
building is no more. the News has
ceased 10 be, Plumb is gone, tile corner
no longer knows Stoller, and all is
changed, as all things must.

A GAME OF BLUFF.

The preliminary hearing of Smith, the
alleged libler of the administration, at
Kansas City the first of the week, has
brought out some points in connection
with that case that were unlocked for
and which seem to have some signifi-
canoe, one Of which was failure CT Mrs.
Lease to appear as witness for the de-
PENDANT and the reason for such failure
1t had been announced that Mrs. Lease
would appear as the principal witness
in the case, but the turn the affairs had
taken and its later, InvOlvings seem
to have had a modifying effect on the
animus of the real author of the disturb
ance, and she failed to appear, though
according to the Atchison Champion
she was within easy reach of Kansas
City for the examination. When the
witnesses were called at the heglnnin e
of the hearing Mrs. Lease did not re-
spond to her name. A short time after
wards telegram was handed to Justice
Swingely, before whom the case was
being tried. 1t was from Mrs. Lease
and dated at Osborne, The telegram
stated that she could not get a train
out of that place Sunday, which she
said accounted for her not being on
hand to testify in the case. The Cham
pion raised the point that the excuse
was insufficient, for the reason that
trains run on the Central Branch, on
which road Osborne is situated, every
day in the week.
Nor is this all. The hearing in the
case was hastily closed in the afternoon
of Monday without waiting for the ar
rival of this principal witness, although
it was expected that she would reach the
city that day, which she did, even before
the examination was ended.
To disinteresed outsider the whole
proceeding looks queer. Mrs. Lease had
repeatedly promised to make some dam
aging, not to say startling, revelations
when she went upon the witness stand
in the case at issue. She was advised
that the hearing would take place at the
time, and had ample time 10 have
reached there even if there were no
Sunday trains. And not only SO, but
she did actually arrive at Kansas City in
time to have appeared at the examina-
ton if her presence had been desired by
both or either side of the controversy.
To sum it up, the situation presented
is good deal like school boys quarrel
that has reached the point where blows
must be exchanged, yet the one daresnt
and the other is afraid to.

STAND BY YOUR STATE.

We have few nervous people who
suffer from perpetual nightmare because
eastern papers publish reports damaging
to Kansas. A glaring falsehood which
is its own best refutation, sends chill Of
horror down their vertebrae, and pic
tures a scene of demntion bow-wows
from which no Kansan would ever at
tempt to escape. IL such moral fear of
ghosts is constitutional it is blameless; if
not there should be some sort of public
sanitarium for weak spines and weaker
intellects.
Who knows of a state or township
which yields perpetual milk and honey,
orrevels in continuous Edenic splendor?
What state holds a patent on perfect
government and moral purity? By what
authority do our older sisters set in
Judgment on our public and private
deeds! There is comfort for our namby-
pamby friends in the simple exercise of
returning these compliments. Even a
Kansan might be allowed the belief
that there are few sterile places in
tenness in New York politics, or that
Chicago is badly governed. Whatever
views may be held by any man, or
thousand men. the simple truth prevails
in the end. Kansas has been made the
dumping ground of more calumny than
any other state during the last few
years, but she goes right on doubling her
population from the very states most
ambitious TO keep her down. Whether
it is envy, jealousy or what not, her
traducers make little Roadway in pre-
venting immigration. We might almost
conclude that it is better than printers
ink or immigration bureaus as advertis-
ing matter. For the encouragement of
our tender-footed, chickenhea
brother I'VE hazard the prediction that
Kansas will attract more people within
the next five years than any state of the
Union. 20 prevent the immigration Of a
few socialists and worthless louis from the
purlieus and hot-beds of Anarchy in the
eastern cities is more than we could
hope; but the fact remains that our
people are patriotic and law-abiding.
One such outbreak as the Haymarket
riots might leave a grease spot to COM
memorate the event, but we doubt it.
The rule holds good throughout the
country, that the rural population are
the never-faiiing defenders Of our
homes, ard here rests the whole super
structure.
1t Is worse than folly 10 lose heart be-
cause everybody is rot singing the
praises of our state, as they did during
the brief period OF crazy boom. We
have all the good things we had then
and more. People will continue to come
cities will be built and our sovereignty
will he maintained. while farms are be-
ing abandoned, mills falling forums and
riots ere menacing the peace of society
in Puritanic, old New England. There
is pride of state, dignity of manhood
which should prompt every good citizen
10 stand 10y and defend his choice of
locality, otherwise he would be more
consistent TO ship 10 other quarters.

LIFE IN AMERICA.

From the Nineteenth Century.
This business life Of American gen.
tlemen is one of the hardest problems
for an Englishman to understand cor
| rectly. Till comparatively lately in
England Commercial business, except
banking, has not been thought highly
of for gentlemen. Politics, the chruch,
the army and navy, the BAR. ETC., have
been the outlets for English younger
sons. In America it is quite different.
Among the many reasons for this will
mention but the one important one,
that the pursuits above mentioned af-
ford but few openings, comparatively
speaking.
The church is a poorly-paid profess
sion for the sons of wealthy merchants,
and the army and navy are so small in
number that they do not afford a field
for more than . few. The bar is, of
course, open, and is crowded in Amer
lea as in England. Politics, for some
inscrutable reason, does not seem to
attract many of the higher grades of
youth. Consequently the young Amer
lean seeks the commercial field, and in
every American city, especially in the
west, one finds at the head of cultlva-
ton and progress men whose rise has
been due to successful commercial en-
terprise
1t is well for the individual that sue.
cess should be so rewarded, and it is
well for the community also that the
man of business who has gained his
success on Legitimate lines should be
its leader. In a new and partly unset
tied country like America, SO fortu-
nately situated as to need practically
no foreign policy and to fear no foreign
enemies. the creator or the distributor
of wealth is far more valuable man
than the politician or the soldier.
The sanguineness of the American is
another feature especially striking to
an outsider The whole temper of the
people is one of hope. No young man
enters life in any line without the
fullest belief that he is going to sue
coed, and is going TO make great deal
of money, and to do it all very quickly.
This may be true Of young men every
where, but it is especially SO IN the
states And men are justified in then
youthful hopes.
Practically any young man Of rea-
sonable brains and industry IS sure to
succeed. Openings are numerous, and
the shsrp-yitted American Is quick to
take advantage of them It is curl
ous fact, but one that I have often
heard employers of unskilled la Dor com
ment on. that none OF their workmen
were American born, unless. possibly,
some OF the foreInen. As an English
man am glad 10 add that rarely are
Englishmen. either. found ss unskilled

1t is an old saying that politics makes
strange bedfellows, and the saying ap.
plies with equal pertinency to the woman
suffrage phase of politics as any other.
The Washington dispatches in relation
to the suffrage convention held in that
city this week noted this peculiar cir
cumstance:
AT Tuesday nights session every
effort was directed to the conversion of
Kansas, and if congressional representa-.
ton is a criterion the road is easy. SEN
ator PETER and Representatives Davis,
Curtis, Broderick, Simpson and Baker OF
Kansas made remarks expressive of
sympathy with woman suffrage. Also,

sippi"

The circumstance that Senator Nor
gan, chairman of the senate Hawaiian
question, and the ablest member of the
upper house in international law and
foreign relations, has prepared the re-
port of the committee in which the
former administration is sustained and
the present one censured in their re-
spective dealings with the Hawaiian
affair, vests the report and the whole
question with special significance, and
this is heightened by the further circum-
stance that the other Democratic mem
bers of the committee disagree to the re-
port and will submit minority report.

AN INTERNAL DISCRIMINATION.

For wears the EAGLE has advocated
the development of export trade via the
gulf to our nearest foreign markets.
Recent disclosures show that New YORK,
apprehending such a trade movement.
has put forth every effort to crush OUT
any competition from New Orleans or
Galveston, having at times done business
at loss in order to crush out those al
tempting to get foothold where New
York had been holding practicai
monopolv. 1t now develops that kan-
sas Civ via the Louisville and Nashville
road to New Orleans has 26-cent rate
TO Havana, while Kansas City and all OF
Kansas have to pay 81 cents on flour to
Galveston. What is known as the
Louisville and Nashville rate may be
considered an extremely low rate, but
the Kansas rate to Galveston is an eX-
tremely high one, and to which must be
added the water rate to any of the ports
where our products may be sold.
Today there are at least three railroad
schemes or enterprises known as North
and South roads, looking to South and
Central America as the markets to
which they will get the rail haul OF the
products grown along their lines. If
ever constructed the great undeveioped
trade of those countries will be the IN
centiye that will cause the money to be
forthcoming.
This is an object lesson for the roads
now traversing Kansas and reaching
New Orleans and the Gulf. These roads
are today languishing for want of bust
ness, and showing weekly and monthly
decreases in their earnings that are
SIMPLY astounding. 1t will be no fault
Of the existing roads if the people do not
rise in their might and construct roads
that will take the business that naturally
belongs to them.
When the western roads get cured of
the insane mania of trying to divert all
traffic to the port of New York. and
commence to cultivate local and home
trade, and foster that which is legiti-
mate. then they will become source of
comfort and revenue to those who I'M
wisely bought their stock.

a fresh hitch has occurred in the pro-
gram of tax settlements between the
Santa Fe road and the boards of county
commissioners. The commissioners OF
Reno accepted the proposition of tie

course and agreeing to give the road a
receipt in full of the amount. Some of

is taken as an indication that it will not
cooperate with the Pops in this years
campaign. On the other hand the stall
