PAP AND PIE.

Some of the slate-string papers that
have been criticising the EAGLE for not
swallowing everything labeled "Repub-
lican" by the little would-be party bosses,
claim to be great admirers of Senator
Plumb. In speaking of party allegiance
and the inalienable right to protest,
Plumb once said: "When things are
not going right within your party lines.
do not 60 Off in huff, but lay hold on
the horns of the altar and kick like a
bay steer
The EAGLE has always nestled close up
to the Republican throne, and never ex-
poets to bask in any other light. but it
proposes to put in the time singing or
howllng as occasion may warrant. with
out reference to the outraged loyalty of
hide-bound worshippers, whose only
prayer is one for daily pap and occa-
sional pie.

LOST TREASURES.
II. E. HoBBs.l

From molten gold to tender pink.
watch the dying sunset sink;
On earthly sea or pebless shore,
The glory that Will shine no more.
Upon the lost year drifting By,
B. meath the wild December sky.
/ care not that the old year goes.
Through mighty gloom and dying throcs;
heed not how the wild winds moan,
As heavy hearted and-alone,
think upon the vanished years,
In passion of pain and-tears.
In thy hidden hand veiled destiny!
What recompense is waiting me?
For all the blighted hopes of youth,
The spotless innocence and truth.
For long lost faith, that knew no doubt,
And wrapped my dreaming soul about.
The dew and freshness of lifes dawn.
Bright dreams that feed many New Year
gone.
The perfect trust Of other days,
That lay on life's untrodden ways;
The dear lost friends. who died or changed,
The tender loves-so long estranged.
The smiling faces, that come of old
This New Year quiet. still and cold.
Remembered words Of tender speech
Passed forever, beyond my reach,
Oh lost and squandered bygone years,
l reap thy harvest tonight-in tears!
But for those treasures lost Or slain,
Vain are my tears and worse than vain,
Out upon the vasty unknown sea-"
No ''barque OF hope" drifts back to me,
The New Year now soon will dawn,
THE cold, dead yesr has drifted on).
Some ray of light strive to trace,
And lift q dark and stormy face.
Toward the frowning midnight sky,
For answer to my voiceless cry
mot ali the wealth of land or sea,
Could bring those treasures back to me-"

THE NORTHEAST CORNER,

From the Topeka Capital.
Speaking of the Wichita EAGLES
scheme of holding the next state conven-
tion in that city, the Troy Chief says:
The next state convention. and all other
state conventions, should be held at the
capital of the state 1t is the natural and
proper place for them. We can see no
good OF putting the state convention on
wheels, and letting it out to the highest
bidder The next move would be to bum
the citizens to entertain the delegates free.
It was not the Wichita EAGLE but the
Fort Scott Monitor which suggested
Wichita as the proper place for the
next convention. Nobody will be sur
prised that the Capital approvingly
quoted the Chief, but it would have sur
prised most people If the Capital had
quoted the Monitor, which the EAGLE
did not.

COMMISSIONERS WEBB CONFIRMED.
NJ. N. MUKDOCK Editor.

The findings and decision OF the court
IN the Webb-Schaup contest were eA-
pected. Tho only surprise is that the
oword was not unanimous. Whatever
NAV have been urged for the possible
LEGAL technicalities involved. there was
no question as to the right and justice OF
the proposition that Webb was honestly
elected county commissioner from the
district in which he lives. 1t Is rlght
that courts should not permit clerical
mistakes or technicalities Of any KIND to
defeat the will of the people as expressed
at the polls. The ballot box is the only
place where the people can speak, or pro-
pounce their judgments. 10 overruie
their findings by practice-sophistry or
specious pleadings of the law, or to de-
feat their recorded wish and command,
bv the methods of the shystering dema-
rogue is to weaken their faith In the
only solid fabric upon which republic
can safely rest.
The people of the county, without re-
gard to party, are practically unanimous
with the decision. Nobody can deny
that fact a prominent representative
Populist declared but the day before the
decision was rendered that he had talked
with hundreds of his party and he had
yet to find man endorsing the bastard
" attempt to defeat the clearly ex-
pressed will of the people. He said fur
ther, that many unhesitatingly de-
nounced the disreputable seltishnesS
and the lack of honor of the small coterie
who, assuming to be the leaders OF
the Populist party in the county, had
resorted to subterfuge to maintain their
ring hold and to provide for themselves
10 the direct detriment Of the Peoples
party.
In cases involving political interest
there is always fear of partisan preJu-
dice upon the part of the judges.
Whether such apprehenslons are well
founded or not the public knew that in
this case were sitting at least two men
of recognized judicial acumen and
firmness. Ex-Judge Wall and Judge
Babb are both known to be men with
the courage of their convictions, both
recognized as being cool, self-poised and
perfectly fearless. Forensic wind with
these men counts for little or nothing,
and shrewd must be the barrister who
could mislead either of them as to de-
fined law. Nineteen out of every twenty
men who have followed the case in its
legal aspects, as well as those who know
nught of its moral bearings, will acclaim
the Righteousness of the decision and
denounce the men who have put the
county to so much cost in crafty at
tempt to defeat the right.

w no Rules,

We see in the dispatches that Mr..
Crisp, through Mr.. Croker, recommends
that certain gentleman belonging to
Tammany shall be the congressman in
place of congressman resigned. 1t is
also stated that his election will be satis-
factory to Mr.. Cleveland. We ask our
selves, in this free America who are the
rulers? The head man Croker says in
the national council that so and so shall
represent the people. What lord Of the
realm is Croker that brings up ballots
instead of bullets to support my lord
Cleveland in what he says shall be the
policy of this nation. Whittier are we
drifting when the prints of the day give
it as matter of news that my lords of
the nation from Wall street, as did War
wick of old, set up men like puppets to
please themselves.

1t is announced from Denver that {

1t is announced from Denver that a
Catholic paper published there will
shortly publish list of the prominent
men in that city who are identified with
the A. P. A, together with report of
the proceedings in all the local camps.
The information, it is said, is furnished
by Catholics who joined the political
organization for the purpose of giving
away its secrets. The whole thing
sounds fakey. Such an expose would
have little effect upon the secret society.
The methods employed to secure the
information would compromise the ac-
cuser more than the accused.

Fusion is emphatically dead issue in

make bargain, and in this instance
there is only small portion of one side
in favor of it. So far there has not been
a Democrat of any prominence in the
state to express any sympathy or inclin-
alton in that direction. The last one to
denounce the idea is Judge McCleverty

THOSE SWELLERING PATRIOTS.

Like unto the man who held the bear
by the tail, is the Democratic party in
its efforts to reform the tariff. Years
have been spent in depicting the horrors
of a tax-ridden people growing out of
the Republican "robber tariff Not a
Democratic speaker of any age or degree
of prominence in his party has failed on
any occasion to grow red in the face and
froth at the mouth in denouncing this
great imposition upon the rights of the
people. The party has stood upon the
watch towers and peered into the ar
chives to discover and ferret out every
conceivable weak spot in the tariff eys-
tenn, and every patriot, from the nation
al boss to the most obscure ward lick
spittle, have howled their vituperatlon
and Rillingsgate from ocean to ocean,
and from the lakes to the gulf. l6 has
been a ceaseless cry for a change, the
sovereign remedy being nothing more
nor less than Democratic rule. Now
we have it in its Jeffersonian simplicity.
1t might have been reasononably sup
posed that this band of sweating patriots
would have been standing in line, await
ing the hour for congress to meet and
rid the country of this ceaseless drain
upon its resources, but the dispatches
have made no such announcement as
yet. Strange as it seems, the executive
whip has failed thus far TO secure quo
rum and for three mortal days an ad-
visory council was held at bay. The sit
uation has the three-fold merit Of being
amusing, pitiable and contemplate.
Meanwhile the the public will witness
the contortions and giralions of this
band of country savers, and for the out
come we shall see what we shall see.
