ly opposes the measure; both are able
champions. and each of them. BY reason OF
his long. earnest and valuable work in the
party. is entitled to a respectful hear
ing and his views to great consldera-
ton. And the fact that such men
hold such widely different views
upon the subject is in itself sum-
cisnt reason why Suffrage should not be
made a test of party feaity. There are
thousands of men in the state who never
voted anything in their lives but Re
publican ticket who say now, IF to De
Republican it is necessary for me TO De
suffrayist, then I am not q Republican.
On the other hand no msu Is better Re
publican because he believes in woman
suffrage. But so far as we have seen there
is no disposition TO ''ostracize" any one or
to prosecute them for opinions sake or to
drive votes from the party. and therefore
there will be no suffrage plank in the Re
publican platform. Journal.

his impressions of the changes which IN
a quarter of a century have marked
Kansas and It's towns. cities and people
from Topeka to Wichita. From his
readable "reminiscences in the Veteran
we extract the following of local bear
ing:
As the train moved gracefully to the depot
| the expressions of delight were universal, as
| the fair proportions OF the Peerless Princess
of the Plains were brought to view, Twenty
Years ago Wichita was a live, busting front
! Ter town. II cary attracted the attention OF
! men with an eye TO location and business and
| soon became a receiving and distributing
| depot for the vast and fertile country south
and west. The ad astra per aspera OF Kansas
would we'll become the royal coat of arms of
Wichita. In her fight for position She was Of
ten driven to tue pefilous edge of defeat, but
gathering fresh strength she returned to the
attack, until victory has finally crowned her
with the laurels Of a conqueror.
Today she is a city filed with thrift and en-
terprise, her public buildings, her palaces Of
trade and her private Residences are worthy
of her name and FAM. Her WIN oiesale trade
built up under restrictions and difficulties,
unsurmountable but for the intense and "nev-
er-say -die' grit of her merchants and manu-
factnrers, /, now an assured fact, and the
rights SO long contested for are at the near
conclusion of wise and business concession.
For nearly or quite quarter Of q century
the Wichita EAGLE has been the mouthpiece
through which she has voiced her desires aid
ambitions 10 the world. The moving
and controlling spirit Of that paper has always
been a man Familiarity known as marsh"
M0rdock. He has not been in the long and
eventful years of his useful life lacking in f.
deity to his state or nation. He has filed
various positions OF high trust with an eye
single TO duty as well as to the honor OF his
own name. In storm and sunshine, among
the breakers or on placid seas, he has ever
been the true and stalwart promoter of this
lovely city Of the plains, and he is today its
foremost citizens.

full thanks to my old comrades and their no |
bic wives for the warm and tender reception |
extended to me while sojourning within the |

evidence of hard service far their country and /
numbers broken in health beyond recovery |
have been made to feel the unforgiving blow |
from men and their sympathiZers who, from |
1851 to 1856, by every means within their power

PURELY A POP PROPAGANDA.

Eliminate the women from the POI
| party and you have but an angle worm
Even il PETER were not an old granny
| and Mrs. Lease Paddy Irishman run tx
mouth, the rule would stand in the ab
sence of these exceptions. The average
male Pop leaders courage only equals
his convictions when political tea,
bangles beneath his hungry nose. The
male Pop leaders are the vsriest towards
and political sneaks that ever wriggled
into office. The women who inspired
the organization Of that party. in the
school house and at their pIcnics were
first and foremost for prohibition. Sec
ondly for purity in Office and economy
in taxation, and thirdly for hand in
public affairs. themselves. The political
male leaders from the first studiousIy
ignored prohibition on the stump and in
their platforms, proving to oe the most
corrupt gang OF thieves and prostitutors
of pnblic trusts that ever cursed state
with contemplate wrangling, petty filch-
ings and blackmail expedients. Their
subsidiary demands for bimetallic and
paper currency, more rigid control of
corporations. the wiping out of trusts
and larger opportunities for the work
ingmen, were ideas all stolen from Re-
publican platforms. The only in
stance in which the male Pop
leaders have shown any dispo-
sition to meet any OF the
demands of the women who made the
Populist move possible was in submit
ting the proposition of female suffrage
And this step would have failed but for
a contingent of Republicans in the house
who, under the pressure of foreign fe
male Establishment and out of policy,
the Dunsmore contingent.
And now the cowardly crew have called
their state convention to meet after that
of the Republicans for the sole purpose
of trimming their sails accordingly.
The success of the female suffrage
means simply the uominancy
of the Pop party in Kansas indefinitely.
1t is Pop thing and all their smarter
managers, together with outside women
are working day and night
by threats and insinuations, by promises
and representations. to force the adop- |
ton of female plank by the Republi-
can state convention. They reason, and
enough, that if the Republican
party places such plank that the Pops |
ian follow suit with the assurance that !
it will thus carry in the state and in car
rying. the Pop party will triumph, if not |
in 81 in SO, and indefinitely thereafter,
because their women will flock to the |
polls while the wives and daughters of |!
a majority of Republicans will not.

EASTERN COLLEGES AND cHUMPs.

A party of Harvard students are going
to take pleasure trip to Alaska. They
intend to pay their expenses by writing
letters for newspapers. They have made
an offer to the EAGLE.
They say that considering the fact
that they are Harvard men their letters
will have great weight with the public.
Ofcourse. This announcement CLEANS
in on our vulgar soul like shaft of crys-
taiins sunlight at the dead of midnight.
Of course, the fact that these young men
are from Harvard will have great
weight with the country.
This whole nation has been rubbing
the peeling off its knee-caps for years in
alteration of Harvard. For is not
Harvard the Mecca to which the rich
mans son, who lost his forehead in early
youth, ever turns? For decades, Harvard
and its young men have held the United
States of America entranced. 1t is the
Harvard young man who has long
charmed this country by attending the
annual football match and yelling his
liver-pad down around his left ankle. 1t
is the Harvard young man who INDUCES
in the ecstatic sport of hazing. 1t is he,
who, in the interest of higher education,
calls on the new student and frolics with
him, coming back to his room with the
new students liver and his gizzard and
other choice selections of his anatomy
done up in an old newspaper. The col
lege young man alone is capable of
gougin. out another young mans eyes,
slipping them in his vest pocket. and
then returning home with a light
seraphic smile lighting up his pale.
patrician features.
Harvard is indeed great institution.
1t turns out more young men, yearly,
with high broad intellectual shoulder
blades. and sharp. Grecian, clear cut
knee-caps, and aristocratic aquiline feet
than any other educational Institution in
the country.
Writing, even writing letters of travel.
is business. The successful writers in
this country today work hard. finding by
hard knocks and repeated failures what
succeeds with the public and what fails.
But these young men are from Hsr-
ward, and that assures them public ap-
probation and praise for their work
The people adore them, not for what
they do, but because they come from an
old and highly respectable eastern college
with big tuition fee. This is most evil
dent when it is remembered that the
young man who has created the greatest
furore in college. usually drops too far,
the minute he leaves college, to ever be
pulled up again.

The aaiehita naip EAGLE yhurday qnorune au "a, 1884

ehipA When the meteorite was being
cut, an attempt was made to polish the
sections in an emery wheel The
emery wheel was ruined Diamonds
had been noted previously in Russian
meteoric stones, and Prot. koenig pro-
nounced the black particles from this
Arizona meteorite to be diamond
The particles of this substance OBJ
tanned were so minute that the
ordinary chemical tests could not
be applied to them, but Mr..
kunz suggested at the meeting Of the
Academy of Arts and Sciences that if
enough clear grains could be obtained
TO polish diamond, the nature of the
substance would be definitely deter
mined About two hundred pounds of
the meteoric iron was examined, and
specimens which appeared to contain
diamonds were dissolved The exhibit
of diamond cutting in the mining
building OF the Worlds fair gave tho
opportunity for trying the experiment,
and New York jewelry company
made preparations for the test A dia-
mond polishing wheel was specially
planned down, and prepared with radi-
ating scratches so as to be easily
charged with diamond powder The
wheel was run at two thousand five
hundred revolutions to the minute. and
diamond was tried on it for five min
utes without any polish resulting.
The wheel was then charged with the
meteorite powder mixed with oil. As
soon as the diamond was placed on the
wheel a kissing noise showed that it |
was being cut. In three minutes one |
face of the diamond was polished. At |
ter series of experiments with this |
powder, Mr.. Kunz says he is satisfied |
that it is diamond, "or substance |
with the same hardness, color, lustre |
and brilliancy."
This experiment is interesting only |
rs showing one of the queer freaks of
nature. Why a meteorite should be |
with diamond dust is no more |
than is the reason for the dis
covery of single diamond in a Ken |
lucky field There has been but one /
diamond discovery in Kentucky. though |
certain sections of the state have been
studied infinitely with view to prob
able development of diamond mines
The diamond in the United States is
almost as great freak as the Diamond
dust in the meteorite.-

JEALOUSY IN FAMILIES.
From the New York Ledger.

| There are very many forms OF jeal-
busy, all of which are greatly to be de
| plored; but that form that shows itself
in iil-feeling between members of FAM
| lilies and annoyance on account of some
real or fancied show of affection is by
! far the most uncomfortable. senseless
and injurious Sometimes this springs
from partially, another blameworthy
characteristic, but more often from
| fancied wrongs and undue seifishness.
| The disposition that insists upon mo-
nopolizing the attentions of the family
and is satisfied with nothing short Of
being the first consideration is pro-
ductive of the grxvest evils, and IL not
checked at the outset, often leads 20

infancy that they are but atoms in the

stances should they expect TO be con
