THE EAGLE JUSTIFIED.

The EAGLE was the only paper in Kan
sas that ever ripped old Mohler up the
back or that dared protest against the
thread-bare reports made by him of "the
general condition of the crops all over the
state" after each weekly visit made to his
home in the northwest. Six of the papers
found on our exchange table yesterday
Were roasting Moher and commencing
Coburn. Oh, the manly independence of
Kansas journaiism!-Wi EAGLE.
The EAGLE was not the "ouly" paper
that called attention to the worthlessness
of Martin Mohler's reports. The State
Journal did so. The EAGLES criticism of
some other Kansas papers is amply justi-
fed. Some Kansas editors get together
in editorial associations and whoop around
about the lack of influence of their sheets,
and not one of them has the courage to
criticiss the acts of even a county commits
sioner. If they'd try serving the people
instead of the petty politicians who sneer
at them for their cowardice, they'd soon
find that it pays TO be independent; be-
sides it is the only honorable way to run a
newspaper.-Topeka State Journal

The LATEST SCHEME.

Periods and seasons of financial and
industrial distress like the one that has
been upon this country for months past,
and is still unbroken, afford special op-
portunities for the exercise of philan-
thropic impulses, and it is to the lasting
credit Of that class of citizens that they
have not been backward in coming for
ward with substantial aid for the needy
and with plans for systemizing the work
Of relief. The latest scheme of philan-
thropy to assist the poor of New York
city IN bridging over tie hard times, is a
charity pawnshop. The idea originated
with Rev. DR.. Greer Of that CITY. and
his plan is TO open a pawnshop where
people out OF work and in need of
money can secure loans without having
10 pay exorbitant interest.
There are thousands of worthy people
who are compelled To pawn their per-
sonal effects to raise money with which
TO feed their families. They not only
lose the use of such articles for the time
beng, but have TO pay such excessive
rates of interest that the chances ara
they Will never be able TO redeem them.
DIR. Greer thinks there is no reason why
philanthropy and . per cent. or no per
cent at all, should not be utilized in this
respect, and TO incalculGble advantage.
He thinks he viii have no difficulty in
putting the scheme to practical test.
and probably will not have, inasmuch
rs his congregation is one Of the largest
and wealthiest in the city.

The situation in Colorado, as regards
the states financial condition and the
session of the legislature called by the
governor, might afford pointer to Sec
retary Carlisle in his wrestle with the
treasury deficit. The Colorado lagisla-
lature will not hold an extra session be-
cause there is no money in the state
treasury to pay expenses. If Mr.. Car
Isle would refuse to pay the salaries Of
senators and representatives and other
government officials for single month,
as he unquestionably has the power TO
under existing conditions. it would
bring the legislative branch of the gov
ernment, at least, to his terms in short
order. He may be compelled to do so

DAMAGING DISCOVERY.

In searching through the records for a
prece edent or other excuse for issuing
bonds to provide for the running ex-
penses of the government the treasury
officials find that under the Walker ad-
ministration of the treasury the same
conditions existed as exist now, and that
bonds were issued to meet the deficiency
in the treasury for current expenses. In
making this discovery it was also ascer-
tanned that the deficiency was the result
OF heavy falling off in the revenues in
consequence Of thelow tariff then in force.
There is significant point in this that
is directly applicable to the present state
of affairs, only of much less force then
than now. The treasury condition then
was the natural and legitimate result of
the tariff policy that had been in opera
ton long enough to bring it about, Will e
the present condition is discount upon
the future, it being accepted that the
proposed tariff bill will become the law
and the effects Of its operations are
known from the precedent cited. If,
therefore, anticipation Of what will
come has such disastrous effects, what
may we not expect from the thing itself
when it shall come upon US !

THE OLD CABIN.
Upon the prairie. as the sun is sinking,

| Upon the prairie, as the sun is sinking,
| sec the cabin Of pioneer:
| The clapboard roof is tagging to the rear,
| The walls reject their inartistic chinking.
| The broken porch hangs in unwilling bondage
The truant chimney never has returned,
| And in the fireplace, where the embers
burned,
Defiant sunfiowers wave their thoughtless
! frondage.
| The waning sunlight seems to fash and flicker.
! And through the empty, open-hearted door,
Aud vacant windows, seems to run and pour
| Upon the prairie like crimson liquor.
| With bloom of June the spongy air is swollen;
The ponpous zephyrs slowly swagger by;
Then comes purple tremor in the sky,
And twilghts silence:-Nature's sem.-colon.
Here years ago, when civil war had ended,
A soldier came, and with him came bride;
He once had charged up Lookout Mountains
side,
And felied proud oaks when Nashville was
defended.
So when he came to Kansas, strong and fear
less,
Fate had no terrors which he dare not face:
4 soldier in the vanguard of the race,
He did his share to make his country peerless.
Here now is ruin: yet, among the bramb bles,
a melancholy rose peeps at the sky.
And shudders at tie footsteps, passing by,
Of vagrant horses on their aimless rambles.
Upon those pegs, above the chimney mantel.
A sluggish muZzle-l loading musket slept;
Within the porch upon that hook. was kept
An army saddle with a rawhide cantle.
Among the groves, that by the streamlets
nestle.
No more is heard the noise of freighter's
camp;
But in its stead the strange gigantic tramp
OF railway trains upon the rumbling trestle.
No more are deer inauisitively peering
Through brown November at the chimncy's
smoke.
No more the vicious stroke and counter
stroke
OF warning buffalo arrest the hearing.
No more the cyclone, nor the hungry locust,
Imprint shadow on the summer sky;
The drouth has gone-and there have van
isheG by
The ills that Oh the lovers once were focused.

Bade Hope good morning in that humble
cabin.
From cabins such as these come sturdy
natures,
Who give proud inspiration to a state,
Who fight its battles and decide its fate,
Who make its courts and shape its legisla-
lures.

May grind you up at last to shapeless dust,
But faithfully have you performed your

And sheltered manly worth and moral vigor.

WORTH OF CONDUCTORS.

To the bows who loiter about the
country depot and when with snort the
train pulls out, chase away down the
road in spasmodic attempt to keep
even with the end of the last coach, the
conductor is the embodiment Of austerity.
His dazzling brass buttons are SO many
penetrating eyes that stab the man who
is trying to escape his fare, through and
through. His mysterious consultations
with the engineer and his stern orders TO
The brakeman, touch him with great
ness that is exaggerated daily, as the
boy becomes better acquainted with him
and is still as far away from a discovery
Of where he lives and where he goes, as
ever.
Many boys heart has leapt wildly
with pride to see this grand Lama of the
railroad walk up to his father and hold
concourse with him.
For the conductor is not austere. In
Kansas the same conductors, in most
instances, have held the same runs for
gears. They know great many people
n the country they traverse. They
know the state OF the crops, the political
ms and outs and the adventurous ups
and downs Of every village Hampden.
The methods of collecting fare has
sharpened his eyes. He remembers a
face quickly. He has on that account
innumerable friends.
Recently the conductors in this part Of
The country have shown their talent in
new light. Conductor Hayden's sharp
Eyes caught the fugitive, Clyde Mattox,
when hundred peace officers would
have dashed around in vain. Not so
many months ago, Conductor Glazier of
The Santa Fe, threw q train-robber to
the ground and figuratively and literally
sat on him.
Constant vigilance and care of train
load of people endows the conductor
with a sense of detection that theoreti-
cal and unpracticed detective can never
attain. To this they have added per-
sonal courage.
The conductor is not forced to take a
criminal. When he does so, it is because
lie holds the law high and the preserya-
ton of the peace of the people among
whom he travels daily, as his duty. 1t
is for this that the conductor, austere as
he is to the awe-stricken Youngsters.

The spirit of reform that seems to
possess Emporia just now is calculated to
transform the community into colony
of saints, by constraint A short time
ago the council passed an ordinance pro-
bibiting the sale of cigarettes in thai. t.city,

against chewing gum. 1t is understood
that curling irons and cosmetics are TO
be placed under the ban, and a little
later the dress makers, tailors and shoe
dealers will be placed under rigid sur

human nature left there to prevent its

THAT COMPROMISE.

George Martin. editor of the Kansas
ritv Kansas, Gazette, remarks that
Wichita, Hutchinson and Salina have a
RIGHT 10 kick over the action of the rail-
wav attorneys in asking a new hearing.
Well we should say SO. When the case
of car load lots from the Gulf and Ia
,ific was decided after long and pa
tient hearing, rightfully and legally de-
rided by the board OF railway commls-
sioners. the traffic managers begged Tor
acompromise. After some delay the IN
erior iobbers agreed to a compromise.
Rut when the matter was laid before the
state commissioners it anewered emphat-
icalIy that it would not accept the word
,r SIGNATURE of the traffic managers TO
sny agreement of the kind unless they
we're backed up by the words
and signatures of the general attorneys.
To this the attorneys agreed, soemniy
promising the commissioners and the
iobbers in interest that the rate should
be nut in at the time fixed without delay
or eauivocation. What happended
afterwards every OOuS hHO"o' - -A'
souri, firm swore out an injunction IN
Missouri river court under an lnslgnih-
cant bond of $500, sum insufficient to
ideminfy the loss to the interior Jobbers
for a single week. Months went by be-
fore the supreme court could be reached
and the matter passed upon. Finally
the decision of the commissioners was
affirmed. Then instead of standing by
their agreement and ignoring the COM
promise suggested by themselves, and
splitting upon their own signatures they
turned about and asked the commission
for new hearing, which means another
delay even though the hearing should
be denied.
George Martin for a Missouri news
paper man talks very honorable and
i..irly, consenting that the railway at
torneys themselves had acknowledged
that the case had been rlghtfully de-
cided.

WHAT WILL BE SHOWN.

The action of the railroad attorneys,
in regulating the agreement heretofore
entered INTO with the interior Jobbers on
the freight rate question, since the su,
preme court decision was rendered, and
appealing to the railroad commissioners
for rehearirg of the case, has provoked
good deal of very plain talk through
out the state. The Hutchinson News OF
Friday contained an interview with Hon.
j. Z. Greenlee, author of the railroad
bill that was before the last Legislature,
in w hich lie declares himself and others
for whom lie is authorized to speak in
this very plain and emphatic manner as
to what would be done in the premises:
"What are we going to dor
We are going to be there, prepared to
show the board and the people Of the
state of Kansas that the two roads
named are a menace to the development
of the manufacturing, agricultural and
commercial interests of our state. We
will show that these two roads in par
ticuIar, are not only soulless corpora
tons, but false to the pledges already
made both to the commissioners and the
people.
1--WE will show that they have entered
into conspiracy with corporations out
side of the state to confscate capital in
vested in. Kansas, and compel it to seek
Investment in other states. We will
show that the solicitor for the Rock Is
land, had the assurance to advise us
that If we desired to continue In busI
ness we should move to the Missouri
river, and this, too, in the face Of the
fact that the taxpayers of Kansas have
voted bonds by the millions to aid in the
construction Of these roads"

Tie big krupp gun that was on exiii-
bition at the worlds fair is still yworry-
ing its owners as to what disposition to
make of it. Their first offer 10 the gov
ernment to take $3.50, 600 for the piece
has been reduced to $4,000 and it is be-
lieved that the secretary of war can close
the bargain at $50, 200. That is much
less sum than it cost. but it would cost a
large sum to move it from where it lies,
and besides, customers for that class of
fire arms are very scarce and hard 10
find. 1t will probably fall into Uncle
Sans hands, finally, and at his own
price.
