The STATE MILITIA.
From the Leavenworth Times.

From the Leavenworth Times.
A dispatch from Topeka announces
that Governor Lewelling wants a reor-
ganization of the states army so that the
governor can more effectually control
it. But that is just what the people of
the state don't want. The refusal of the
state militia to obey Governor Lewelling
in February of last year saved the state
from civil war. The people saw the dan
ger of having the military force of the
state particularly subservient to the will
of foolish and partisan governor. They
will not be likely TO change the law to
oblige the present incumbent of tine ex-
ecutive office.
The governor complains that "the
militia Is very apt to lie guided more by
its political sympathies than by the or
ders of its commander" 1t is not at all
necessary that we have military force
in the state that will be guided by their
commander where there is a political
question at issue. 1t is safer that the
militia shall never be called upon to
settle political disputes. Our present
military organization is sufficient for all
proper purposes What Kansas needs is
not change of militia but change of
commanders.

RICHES AND MARRIAGES.

Both theoretical Prescriptions and stu
dious investigation of actual social con-
ditions, lead to the belief that riches
are, not wholly, to be sure, but in a
great measure, responsible for unhappy
marriages.
The different escapades of Mrs Leslie,
and women of her kind would appear to
bring proof of this.
The recent breaking off" Of the en-
gagement OF Howard Gould and Odette
Tyler, the actress, through the violent
opposition of the Gould family shows
how tenderly this matter is regarded by
the rich themselves.
1t is going to the point of mere pre-
sumption to say that young woman
who marries young CroeSus, weds him
for his money, She may not think SO,
but she must and does unconscieusl Y
prize him higher for his yellow dross. "
And the possession of money must be
and is serious menace to marital felici-
ty. The numerous divorces and tragedies
resulting from marriages evidence the
fact that marriage is great and irksome
trial. 1t is not and never has been all
the poets and novelists have pictured it.
If the two contracting parties have
money they will probably have iileness,
and unless the affinity between them is
of the strongest their joys will go down
with crash. The everyday struggle
for broad and a common, unsentimental
union of workaday interests has been the
preventive of more than one divorce and
the upbuilding of happy home.
Riches preclude this, and it is from
that that this country has its Mrs.
Deacons, Mrs. Leslies, Lillian Russells
and Mrs. Potters, as well as its army of
more or less known dissolute and col
lapsed sons of wealthy families.

THE HUSBAND OF MRS. EVE.

Attorney Wilson in his denuaciation
of Breckinridge says that Adam has al
ways been considered a coward and a
craven.
Was Adam coward? We guess not.
Naturally, all of us are inclined to bare
our breasts in order to shield our ances-
tors, and keep the dents and grease spots
eff our family escutcheon, if we happen
to have one about the house. But other
reasons call us to defense of the hus-
band of Mrs. Eve.
IL is mean, low, despicable thing to
call man who has been an ancestor to
everybody for SO long and never uttered
a complaining utter, a coward. For
years Adam has been serving without re-
Enumeration or reward, as ancestor to
every human Oh earth. He has carried
the ancestor business on TO the entire
satisfaction of all and perfected it to a
degree that many others have tried in
vain to excel. People who are looking
for choice goods in the ancestor line,
have learned to call on Adam before 60
ing elsewhere.
Besides it is not right to condemn a
dead man, and Adam is dead. He
stands, today, probably the deadest
man in history, unless of course, we ex-
cept Cleveland.
And again, Adam, does not merit the
charge of cowardice. II is true that he
allowed Eve to play upon bis weakness.
But SO have all men, Mark Antony who
used TO go out aud hew down two or
three thousand Egyptians before o'clock
a. M. in order to work up an appetite for
breakfast. went down like greenhouse
before 8 Krupp gun, before the smiles
of the ravishing Cleopatra. Julius
Caesar, who lived and had his being in
gore, was dude in Rome, and his weak
nesses brought the designation upon him
of THAT Woman"
Coward is not the word. The smile of
woman is greater than an armed host.
and the slight pink hand with BANGED
ring upon 1t has conquered where a
seamy fist with a broad-sword failed
completely. That was the wav Adam
fell.
He was not coward He was the
only man on earth, and the woods were
full OF wild animals There was onIy
one animal among them that was too
much for him.

GRAIN DEALERS OF KANSAS.

We hope that the grain dealers through
out Kansas, especially those of southern
Kansas, read the call published yester-
day morning fer the convention of grain
dealers. which meets in Wichita next
Tuesday. The exporters and dealers at
the different gnlf ports evince by their
replies that they are especially anxious
to meet the local grain dealers of Kansas
at that time. The local committee and
board of trade of this city are equally
solicitous for the presence Of the Kansas
grain dealers at the congress. As grain
men must be aware the cut made on grain
rates to the gulf by tie roads last week,
and which was influenced by the above
move. saves thirty. six dollars on every
car load, which is just so much more to
the farmer. and for the grain dealer to
do profitable business it is absolutely
necessary that the farmer finds it profit
able to raise it.

wICHITA'S WHOLESALE TRADE.

The panic that struck this country
early last year has brought about many
changes, and whenever trade and COM
merce has been flexible enough to con-
form to the new condition of things
there has been revolution. New York,
Boston and Philadelphia have from
week to week shown the largest de-
creases in their weekly clearings. the
reason for which is obvious. The mer-
chants throughout the country are buy
ing less goods and carrying smaller
stocks, which necessitates their buying
nearer home in small quantities demand
ing prompt and quick delivery. This
has given to the Wichita wholesale
trade An impetus never before known.
and which has doubled the business. 1t
has been an object lesson for the coun-
try merchants that they will profit by
even when prosperous times come, as
they have found that large stocks
bought at one time involve extensive
credit, large interest account either to
the eastern merchant or their local
bankers. Ofteutimes the over-stocked
merchant is compelled to work off his
goods at loss owing to changing styles
and in the end he finds he has made less
menev than by the enforced way of do
ing business growing out of the de.
pressed times. Commercial economy is
the order of the day and the merchant
that can turn his stock several
times during year is bound to make
more money than the one that buys
enough at one time to stock him for a
year. All this is in favor of the nearest
distributing point and as Wichita has
more trade that 10 tributary than any
city in this country of five times her size
it stands to reason that her wholesale
trade will prosper and grow. With over
900 names in the Wichita district added
to the commercial report last year the
business men hunting location to sell
to retailers canrot find more desirable
place anywhere. With the freight
question settled as it is today 100000
ought to be added to the wholesale capt.
tai of Wichita in the next six months.

IT WILL INSURE VICTORY.

The Capital is out in an editorial on
the issues of the Kansas campaign. 1t
wants nothing in the fight save the
primal declarations OF the national party
and-"Tnrn the traitors out" For at
least two years before the Republican
party of Kansas met its Waterloo the
EAGLE plead with the party leaders to
drop all side or extraneous issues and
keep the traitors down, warning them if
they did not do SO there would be rebel
lion within the party and ultimate de-
feat. Our words were unheeded, the re-
bellion materialized and the gentleman
from Iowa, with his assistants from Col
orado and Heaven only knows where,
are in the saddle. At the door OF the
contingent found in the Capitals follow
ing lies the defeat of the Republican
party of Kansas.

BENCH MADE LAWS.

The PEOPLE of this country are grow
ing uneasy under the intolerable tyranny
of federal judges. The assumed powers
and prerogatives of these officials have
been acquired through thei- own rul-
ings made on their own presidents,
which rulings have step by step invaded
the provinces of the law making and ex-
ecutive branches of the government
until all legislative enactments and exc
cutive orders are held in obeyance for
the final Interpretation of the courts.
That which has emphasized and rem
dered the making of equity so plain, and
the holdings of these courts so danger
Gus, is the numerous collapses of vast
corporations which have lately occurred
under the stringency of the times.
wherein friendly receiverships have been
successfully sought at the hands of fed
eral judges, which judges in fact
thus become the controllers of immense
properties and interests, in the conserva-
ton of which as against lawful
creditors, the laws and courts
of states are trampled upon and
state officials imprisoned for contempt.
In protecting their own receivers taxes
on vast properties are refused payment,
and individuals having no other interest
in such properties than those granted by
the courts, are made rich. In short
there is continual self-seeking of power
and encroachment of authority upon the
part of some of these judges, to that ex-
tent that they are questioning in some of
their edicts the power of congress to
interfere. The state of South Carolina
is threatened with bankruptcy at this
time, because the federal court of that
commonwealth has denied the state the
right 80 collect the taxes due from her
principal railways which are IN the
hands of the courts receivers. It's legis-
lature has appealed to congress. In
their memorial they clearly set forth the
constitutional and the acquired jurisdie-
ton of federal courts and define their
usurpations- and wrongs. Il is plain
that an end of this bench made law
tyranny must come and that soon,
either through limitations fixed by
congress or the abolition Of the courts.
No such abuses are known to
the cbancery courts of England or any
Of the courts of western Europe. These
despotic courts of America having once
established precedent right or wrong,
they back it up by cumulative decisions
of their own, which in turn become pre-
cedents for farther encroachments Never
reversing their: own decisions and as
Stunning 10 know all law, they come
logically, as IN the present emergency,
to consider the prersgatives and powers
as transcendental and not to. be ques-
toned by the people or interferred with
by the law-making branch of the gov
eminent where the real powers of rep
resentative people are lodged. These
courts, which imprison state officials and
take charge of public highways with
equal eagerness and facility, which rob
communities TO make good the failing
speculations of capitalists. and to make
rich their favorite appointees, and to get
off demagogic speeches in the guise OF
judicial opinions, should be, and must
be, brought up standing, quickly and
energetically.
