EAGLE of the Arkansas valley, Kansas is
not Republican. To be sure there are
Democrats that are not silver men, but
they do not register from Kansas, and
they do not constitute the Democratic
party. There are silver Republicans in
Kansas, but they do not constitute that
party. either in the state or nation. There
Is a division in both parties, but the ma
Jority OF the Democratic party Is for silver
and the majority of the Republican party
is for gold.
The National Republican convention
declared for both silver and gold and
silver and gold it will be if the western
wing of the Republican party don't fall
down. Silver as a value has held its
own with ell other values. gold only ex-
cepted. If parity can only be reached
through cut then cut the gold dollar
down to an equality with everything
else including silver and labor and all of
the products of labor. It's the abnormal
appreciation Of gold as the Spectator
preferred standard which has so squeezed

WHY sLUGGERS ARE PATRIOTS.

There is something amusing in the fire.
quent display of patriotism on the part
of the sporting element in this country.
At the same time, it is altogether toe
commendable to be scoffed at.
The sporting fraternity is not eminent.
ly intellectual. Its gods are mostly un-
educated and uncoutE, rough and
frequently immoral. Its votaries, much
as has been said in favor of athletic
superiority, are very little better as a
rule than the men they honor.
And this brings to mind this question:
Is higher mentality menace to patriot
Ism? The oft-quoted declaration of
Kenelm Chillingly to the effect that the
Americans are striving to arrive at a
condition which, when effected, will
prove their ruin, is pertinent.
1t is true that, of recent years, the in
clination to declare patriotic emotions
has been sadly dissipated.
In the halls of congress the time is
taken up with long debates on the ma
terial details of questions which deal
more with individual wealth than ma
tional welfare. Patriotic utterances in
the pulpit have not wholly disappeared,
it is true, but they have greatly fallen off
in frequency and feryor. The civil So
cieties have lost nearly all their devotion
in turning their attention to questions
that are sectional and factional.
The candidate who dwells too long on
his love for his country is in danger of
being called demagogue. He knows it
and he talks sparingIy, when he hap
pens to praise his native land. The pub
lie lecturer feels the necessity of piquant
criticism in bis addresses. He fears to
meet the charge of being called plati
tudinous, and he knows that he will
have to, if he sounds the praises of
America too fervently.
To tell the truth, there are times when
the educated American will trust his
political champion up to the point where
he shows a patriotic emotion, and then
he doubts him.
1t may be due to a temporary fit of
cynicism, but it is a fact that the only
place that boisterous patriotism of the
Fourth of July kind, has been displayed
i'll this country in the last six months,
has been at the ringside with its accom-
paniment of towels and sponges, when
some slugger waved the stars and stripes
over his head, and crowd that was
made up of roughs and toughs cheered
in the widest sort of fashion. Can such
a sight be witnessed in congress?
In short aren't we getting too smart?

good of tee city. Other cities are under
going revolution and using the COM
bined power of all lovers of good order
and honesty TO rescue their affairs from
the hands of boodlers and FOUNDERS,
while Wichita is accomplishing more BY
nominating good sound Republicans of
well known integrity.

Back of that sweet little perfect smile.
Gentle and selfish l should say,
AM wonderfully wise in wcnan's guile.
What is the meaning of your face,
Surely see in that long, slow glance,
Something akin to the feline-gracs
So fearfully fair is not by chance.
Your eyes are full of dream. now tell,
Is it something divine that holds You fast,
Or is it about that hat so swell,
That you saw in window as you passed.

Come now, wouldn't you wear frown,
If your husband or lover came too near.
For fear he would rumple your pretty gown

THE BOTTOM OF THE TROUBLE.

The difference between the Republi-
cans and Democrats is that the latter be-
ieve in buying everything in Europe
while the Republicans believe in buying
everything at homo. This country can
come nearer subsisting on home grown
products and home manufacture, than
any other, and yet it imports more than
any other country. 1t is only our won
derful resources that have enabled us
to stand the immense volume OF our
annual imports Had little economy
been practiced for the past twenty years
the United States would have been able
to carry all her own securities and thus
escaped foreign interference in her
financial legislation. Having been ex-
travagant IS a nation it is time to
economic. The increase in the
development and wealth of this
country is without parallel,
but the people by their ballots
in the fall of 1892 swept away more of
the accumulated values of this country
in single day than were gained in ten
years. 4 prosperous business nut in
the hands of inexperience must be
ruined, and the affairs of this country
having been placed in the hands of in
competent men, the holdings of the peo-
pie have been diminished until bank
ruptcy stares majority OF them in the
face. 1t is human nature for an indi-
vidual to seldom let well-enough alone,
but for majority Of the people to get
off wrong is unusual. 1t will hardly
occur again, not at least until the present
experience has been forgotten.
