THE GALL OF THE sHUFFLER.

The $50 charge of the Topeka Capital
against the Wichita Law and Order
League for the publication of one-sided
letter gotten up by Bentley, Hatfield ct al,
against the editor of the EAGLE, and in
defense of Rev. Woods who claimed to
have been partially assassinated for tenn
perance and truths sake, and which letter
Hatfield aud his clique had the cheek to
ask The EAGLE to publish for nothing
remains unpaid. Woods may have been
after notoriety or what not, and We care
not, but Bentley and Hatfield were evil
IDENTIFY after what money there was in it.
As the Capital hasn't got its $50 and as
there Is less than 30 cents in the treasury
they presumably got it.. Its too bad that
the Capital failed to get its pay for its
contemplate part. 1t is an all-round
pleasant thing to have men for
whom you have for years only shown
kindness when they have wanted
something, and consideration and leuiency
when they have been mixed up in affairs
that would have made the devil blush. re-
sort to hypocritlcal schemes and dog rot..to
injure you. The EAGLE has published
thousands Of columns of temperance calls,
church notices, religious socials, society
programmes. charity appeals etc., etc, for
which il never charged a cent, burthen
greater than any other daily paper in this
state ever carried, aud its editor therefore
don't believe that there is any kick coming
to him from the tools or attorneys of any
OF them. An editor. necessarily, must
cultivate a thick hide and school his heart
to hardness because among thousands of
daily readers some are ever finding fault
and saying hurtful things, but the gall of
the shuffler, that be is forced to taste.

THEY DISCUSSED IT AGAIN.
Some Ministers Quite vexed at the Atti

Explanations were called for on Monday
at the ministers Monday meeting from
those who attacked the modern revival
method at the meeting of the week before.
Some Of the members of the association
were not present on that stormy day and
were little vexed when they learned the
trend that sentiment had taken against
the method.
Each OF the ministers then present was
called on to explain or confess" and each
in turn did so. Some claimed that they had
been partially misrepresented and some
said that they were represented exactly
and stood by what they had said
One man said that as all had endorsed
the paper. that it had been read very plain.
ly and that all remarks had been in sup
port of the paper.
Some of the ministers wanted vote of
censure passed upon those present at the
former meeting aud to recall the action
taken there, but after talking the situa-
tion over it was decided that if vote of
censure was taken it should be upon those
who neglected their duty in not attending
when the weather was inclement.

The Poll Tax Law.

The poll tax is a tax on labor.
Labor should be exempt from
taxation in order that it may, out
of its scanty earnings save a little
and own a home.
People who have homes make
good citizens. They are interested
in schools, churches, society and
good order.
Men who have no homes and
cannot save enough to buy one,
are Indifferent about churches,
schools, society and good order.
The men who fill our jails and
penitentiaries are laboring men
who have no homes, and their labor
is taxed until nothing remains with
which to buy one.
If the sum we collect from a poll
tax was appropriated in buying
homes, we would save more than
the tax amounts to in running our
criminal courts.

Under the p%retense of prevent
ing negro domination and by APP
peaiing to the worst passions of
the human heart, the most infa.
nous gang of thieves and scoun-
drels that ever organized on this
continent, got hold some years ago
of the city of Memphis. 1t was
worse than the Tweed and Croker
rule in New York, because they
did not hesitate to murder in order
to carry their points. If a negro
was shot down like a dog, it was
to prevent the race from gaining
supremacy over the whites. If
ballot boxes were stolen. destroyed
and stuffed it was to prevent a
negro minority from controlling a
white majority if the county Jail
was forced and prisoners taken out
hung and burned under the eyes of
the police, it was to prevent them
faom raping the white woman of
the Southland"
So loud were the murderers and
villains in their protestations that
all they did was to preserve the
supremacy of the white race, pro.
tect the helpless women and chill
dren and save the democratic party,
that thousands of good, honest,
Christian men stood mute before
the scene of outrage, honestly be-
lieving that the terrible means en-
ployed justified the ends.
The republican party was
crushed out of existence. Its old
time leaders, among whom were
the best men in Memphis, appalled,
by the fury of the storm against
the negro, could not longer stand
up with him. The negro, limited
at the ballot box as a wild beast at
a trap shot down if he opened
his mouth to protest, and the MUIR
derer never convicted railroaded
to the penitentiary upon the most
trivial charges, retired from the
field and democracy ruled and
rioted in all its luxuriant freedom.
By and by with the republican
party out of the field, the demo-
Gratis fell out among themselves.
The more respectable portion of
those who had lent their moral in
huence to every crime in the calen.
der, began to demand that the
white goats be separated from the
spotted. DuBose, the leader of the
pie-balds was selected as the first
victim and all the machinery in the
state invoked at a cost of $4,000
to the taxpayers to dethrone him.
To succeed, they must first decapi-
tate Ralph Davis whom they, by
the aid of all the corrupt influences
in the state had made speaker of
the house. The republicans always
ready to wiring democratic linen
when it is awashing, helped them
accomplish these two jobs.

largely in the minority had to steal
to keep the thieves from electing
