THE STATE ABOVE POLITICS.

Judge James Humphrey, than whom
their is no more intelligent and high
minded citizen in the state, has well de-
fined ideas of political principles and
party integrity, and he has the courage
of his convictions as well. Here is what
he says about the political situation,
present and prospective, in Kansas:
81 voted the Republican ticket in
common with many Democrats in 1892,
and if fusion should again prevail,
which | certainly do not expect, l
should vote the Republican sta,e ticket
at the coming election. The welfare of
the state is above all political considera-
tions. There was, perhaps, some excuse
for Democrats fusipg with the Populists
in 1892, but the shameful record since
made by the Populists, especially in
their revolutionary attempts to drive out
the legally organized Douglass house,
puts it out Of the power on any loyal
Democrat who reveres law and order
and loves his state, to affiliate in any
way with the Populists in the future.
The brand of treason is on the party.
To attempt fusion again would utterly
destroy the Democratic party"

NEW RAPID TRANSIT IDEA.

A New York merchant named Collet,
after years of study of the rapid transit
problem. claims to have solved it, or at
least has perfected plan for one that is
bound to be success in every respect.
His project, briefly stated, comprises a
cable stretched in mid-air, to which is
suspended carriage of lightest possible
construction, propelled by electricity.
Each carriage is to be supplied with one
or more aeroplanes, the idea being that
when the carriages are propelled at a
high rate of speed the aeroplanes will
sustain their weight. In short, they
might be called flying machines, helped
to fly by electrical power and directed in
their course by the cable, which thus
converts them into dirgible balloons.
Tie project as thus described is seen to
resemble a combination of the aeroplane
and trolley ideas, except, of course, that
the cable does not carry the electricity
though there is no apparent reason why
it might not do so. One of the New York
journals thought well enough Of the in
vention to devote two columns of space
to description of it in its issue of last
Sunday; and it is possible that we shall
hear more Of it in the near future.

HOBBY STATESMEN.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
To be great statesman in this coun-
try is the simplest thing in the world for
it requires much more brains to be a
great scientist, doctor, or lawyer. The
present congress can only be compared
to dense fog, for that 1t is a huddle of
politicians goes without saying. True
there are exceptions, but not many since
Edmunds left the senate and Randall
died in poverty. Think of it, died with
out enough money to bury him after
thirty years in congress.
The two greatest actors, perhaps /
should call them mimics, of the present
house are Bryan of Nebraska and Bourke
Cochran of New York. The former
enacts the role Of Mark Antony
and at the close of his silver speech over
the corpse of silver, fully aware of the
administrations stabs, dramatically
wishes to know the future course of
the Democratic party, and in sepulch-
Bourke Cochran made a pondrous
speech. His voice is still reverberating

with quotations from books published
before the revolution. It's hardly fair
to call him the mealy- boy ora
tor from the city of New York who
wears Seymour coat.
The trouble with the modern states
man is his mistake of Judgment in
selecting hobby. Look out for the
future of Bailey of Texas. In figure
and voice he is an ideal statesman,
and when he rises to speak he
appears the reincarnation of Daniel
Webster. Strange that he should have
selected the constitution for his pet
theme. Keep harping on it, Bailey.
Remember Blair and his educational
bill and his thousand and one other five
cent reforms. and beware of them.
Blaine selected diplomacy, Edmunds the
constitution and Mr.. Ingalls, invective.
Note the good and bad Judgment dis
played.
The peerless demagogue of this con-
gress is Hill Of New York, with a close
second in Mr.. VOORHEES,. for their silver
speeches are a handshake with one hand
and slap in the face with the other
hand. The most logical silver speech
delivered was that of Hon. j. r.
Williams of Illinois. 1t Is to be regretted
that he is Democrat EMOLAS

A BIG ENDORSER.

Mr.. Gladstone favors state control OF
railroads, and gives as his reason that
the roads of England give 10 foreign
and long haul business preference that
initiates against local industries and
products. The EAGLE has claimed for
wears that local or state rates were ex-
brilliantly high, while the long haul
rates were in many cases too low; and
that when the roads in Kansas COM
menced to foster local industries and
give to local business just rates they
would commence to prosper. The foun-
tain head of a railroad is bound to be
weak when the arteries along the body
of the road are kept clogged for want of
