QUEUE LOST. CASTE LOST.

From the New York sun.
When Gee Sing was sentenced in the
general sessions the other day to four
years Imprisonment for stabbing his
cousin, Gee Kee, no sign of emotion
stirred his placid features as he was
led into the prisoners box, and he sat
down on the bench, leaned back, and
closed his eyes composedly. To all ap-
pearanceS, he was the most uncon-
cerned of the prisoners. Another pris-
oner who had been sent up for robbery
was bewailing his fate. He was a
good-looking young fellow with head
OF curly brown hair. Running his
fingers through his hair he said sor-
rowfully:
''That1l all have to come off now"
The Chinaman suddenly sat bolt up
right and looked at the speaker with
interest.
what You say?" he demanded.

young man. There won't be enough

Gee Sing clutched his queue with
both hands and walked over close 70 the
speaker.
They cut off that?" he demanded
hoarselv. tapping his pigtail.
Certainly" was the reply. "Cut IL
off short and throw it away"
The Chinaman walked back 70 his
seat. buried his face in his hands. and
rocked to add fro for moment Then
the courtroom was disturbed by the
most unearthly sound that ever echoed
from its walls. Gee Sing was crying.
When Chinaman cries. and there are

NO ARBITRATION.

A large number of men in different
sections of the country who "went out"
are now notifying their companies that
they are ready TO arbitrate. What is
there to arbitrate? These men wien
they went out said that they had no
grievance, therefore no difference with
their employers. Then what do thev
want TO arbitrate? Their work was
satisfactory and wages satisfactory. Do
they want to arbitrate the difficulty be-
tween Pullman and his men: What do
they know about the real difference be-
tween Pullman and his employees?
Nothing. absolutely nothing. except
what Debs has told of one side of it.
There is no chance or place for arbitra-
ton in the absence of a misunderstand-
ing or OF dissatisfaction. The issue
Is made UP and somebody has got TO
back ont. Ii is not a case of sympathy
but of right and wrong.

One Rev. \. P. George, who is getting
his bread and butter as state Sunday
school worker, while advocating female
suffray e is also lying about the EAGLE
like common blackguard. At Leon
last Sunday he frothed with rabid de-
nunciations of this paper, declaring that
he would not permit it TO come into his
house. We don't know whether he has
got house or not, but if SO, there is no
danger of the EAGLE getting into it I'M
less he should pay for it, and such as he
seldom pay an equivalent in the coin OF
the realm for anything they get, much
less for newspapers. This finnicy squirt,
who said he was surprised to find Meth
odists taking the paper, is informed that
the EAGLE is read by greater number
Of Methodists than read any other paper
published in the state. Ia, ia! Anna

FREEDOM RAMPANT,

We like TO boast of our free institu-
lions, but freedom, like other good
things, may be abused. 1t is clear
usurpation of privilege for one man, or
a million men, to dictate to single citi-
zen when or where he shall work, or
what wages he shall receive. 1t is free
dom not warranted by law for rowing
bands of homeless people 70 quarter
themselves upon a county or state to
be fed and clothed at public expense.
The license which a few men take to
control the product of the farm and gar
den by the manipulation of the corners
and speculative deals, is bare assump-
lions OF rights guaranteed to hone.
1t is freedom rampant for the
combine or the trust to make an
arbitrary price on manufactured goods,
or to say who shall or who shall not en-
gage in a given line of business. 1t is
the very biasphemY of freedom for the
political boss to so manipulate the vote
and election returns of our great cities
as to reverse the will Of the people. Men
OF the Croker stripe are, indeed, men
ace to all liberty, and if his methods are
TO be tolerated our days will soon be
numbered. Such license usurped and
practiced by the few, entails the worst
form of slavery upon the many. Surely
it is time TO lay the hand of authority
on the usurper and his scheme every
where. This government with its bound
less privileges, is the heritage of all tie
people-not a class nor clique. The
stirring events of the day may prove a
blessing IN disguise, If they serve to
arouse the masses to sense of present
duty our difficulties will be half ad-
iusted,

KANSAS CROP CONDITIONS.

Secretary Osborn has issued his
monthly report of crop conditions as
gathered from his correspondents. The
wheat yield has reached figures beyond
anticipation. The late rains caused it to
shoot up, form and mature as by magic.
Rye is fair crop; oats, one-half; spring
wheat, small acreage and poor. The
corn stand was never excelled in the
history of the state, if indeed equalled.
Potatoes have been damaged by bugs
and also by frost, though some counties
will show a fair yield. Hay will be bat
a medium crop.
The condition of the crops named be.
low Is given in percentages of what is
accounted a good average:

CHOKING A MAN OFF.

From the Detroit Free Press
Lets see" unused the drummer at a
Detroit hotel the other evening, but
isn't there a place around here some
where called Lake ST. Clair Flats?"
Eyes, SIR" replied the alderman il
the group.
Great place for fshing?"
''The best in the world"
always sure of getting fish at the
Flats?"
always, if in season"
s'I've read and heard a great deal of
the place, and / know several Cincin-
natl people who have been up there.
One of 'em told me he caught four
perch up there between sunrise and
sunset"
'Only FOUR gasped the alderman.
"Why, my dear sir, what could your
friend have been doing all that day?"
''Fishing for perch. He didn't even
stop for dinner. Another one told me
that he caught three black bass dur
ing the week he made business OF
fishing, but of course"
only three black bass in a week!
Il
man your friend calls himself?"
He is rated an Al man, but I'm sor-
~ to say nobody has any confidence in
his word. His story wasn't quite as
bad as that of his brother, though.
Say! there was a man who stood right
up at the bar of the Burnet house and
gave us his solemn word that he caught
a pike up there which weighed two
full pounds He wouldn't take off a
fraction of an ounce. They expelled
him from club for lying, but / have
often wondered if he didn't really be-
lieve what he was telling"
she didn't claim but two pounds for
his piker' demanded the alderman as he
turned pale.
"Only two pounds. There was Gov
ington man in the party, and when he
got back home he went around telling
everybody that he hooked a fish SO
large that it broke his line. They were
going to run him for mayor of the
|. town. but that killed him dead. People
argued that Il he would lie about one
thing he would about another, and that
it wasn't safe thing to put a liar in
public Officer
'''Was that all ne claimed-that fish
broke his line?"
That's all, but it settled his hash
pretty quickly. So there is good fish
ing at the fats, eh? I'm glad to meet a
man who knows all about it. Now, al
derman, wish you'd give me few par
ticulars."
mo, sir-no, sirl'' exclaimed the al
derman, as he jumped up and mopped
the perspiration from his brow.
Wont you tell me how many perch
you have caught in month up there?'
'No, sirl"
'Nor the weight of your largest ish?'
mo. sir!'
"But you see. alderman"
