sCANpALots AMP COSTLY.

The Warden Chase investigation has
closed. the testimony being all Ia. The
committee has adjourned until such
time as the evidence taken can be
Transcribed. The attorneys In the
case, in the meantime, Will make UP
their briefs and prepare their speeches.
This all seems considerable fuss and
feathers that an obnoxious official may
be gotten rid of. Ordinary political
decency would vacate any appOintive
Office on a request from the appointing
power In fact the real decent thing
is, upon a change Of administration,
for all appointees to hand in their res
ignations. Such a course is due the
people. 1t would obyiate unpleasant
ness and as In the present instance,
much scandal. When majority Of the
people have, by their vote, superseded
an administration or elected q new
head. no farther steps should be nee
essary TO the complete change.
Whether Chase Is guilty Or not Of all
the charges preferred against him, he
has been shown up In q very unfavor-
able light. When the people refused
a vote Of confidence to the governor
who appointed him, that was notice to
Mr.. Chase and all others that their
services We're no longer desired.
But Chase Is not the only official who
refuses to heed the vote of last fall.
Every Pop son of them will have to be
kicked out, or otherwise the Pop ad-
ministration of Lewelling will con-
tinue in power SO far as the great in
situations Of the state are concerned,
and without referenceto the expressed
will Of the people Of the state to the
contrary. Briedenthal, Householder,
Rogers and others, like Chase will not
permit the change demanded by the
people at the ballot box. So In each
case, we have charges Of malfeasance,
neglect Of duty, etc, and then investi-
cations costly, disgraceful and vexa
tious. Then there is not only the scan-
dial Of the thing but the expense. These
investigations will cost many thou
sands Of dollars, and for one we sim
cerely hope they will all soon find an
end.

1t is true no doubt that President
Cleveland acted within the limitations
of the precedents at hand in refusing
English upon helpless Nicaragua. II
Nicaragua offers no resistance, the in
cident will close without further
trouble. However if Nicaragua should
attempt defense and make trouble
the United States must most Ger
tainly interfere eventually. as England
never makes fight without insisting
that the spoils include the acquisition
az land.

CALL OFF YOUR DOGS.

II has fallen to the lot Of the Eagle,
in its line of pIeasurable duties, Oc-
casionally, and In several instances, to
open the eyes of It's contemporary pub
locations, to the underlying convictions
and ground-swell sentiments of the
people OF this state. Some OF the in
stances have been SO marked as to be
remarked Of all, save by the esteemed
contemporaries alluded TO, themselves.
Whether from inability 10 interpret
the beats Of the public pulse Alright,
or from a reluctant conservatism
against casting loose from ancient
anchora ges, or, yet from an Inherent
desire for a realizing hold on the old
but exploded doctrine that the news
paper moulds public opinion, where as
in fact it but reflects It, or what not.
it remains true that too many OF the
prominent editorial writers in Kansas
will persist in pounding sand into old
rat holes long after the rodents have
defuncted, rs It were, and their yawn-
ing caverns shrunk to diminutive pune
lures What is true Of the writers al
luded to Is not less so of those leaders
who seek to set the political pace In
pladtudnic platforms or by Rosicru-
clan resolutions.
Two and three years ago this paper
not only set forth the downward drift
of the debtor west. tracable TO the
destruction of one-half of the metal
money of the country, through de-
signed discredit but earnestly urged
upon the party some action consonant
with the convictions Of the great body
of the people. Had the party respond
ed the Populists would have been left
without a single drawing card, only
such heed was accorded as was deem
ed sufficient to question the Eagles
party loyalty, and its editors political
sOundness. AS late as the last state
convention the party leaders went to
Topeka with no other expectation than
that the money question would be
ignored. How the silver plank was in
corporated in the platform is mystery
to many Of them to this day. Had it
been left out the party would have
defeated. The papers and leaders to
which we refer will not assent to this.
But that makes no difference as to
the purpose of these lines. And al
though the nominees and stumpers Of
the party tried to ignore the question
and to steer clear Of that particular
plank, in the campaign, everywhere
outside of the larger towns they We're
persistenly confronted with the prob
lem, and forced to talk,-some of the
nominees to writing letters
The Kansas Republican League,
which means the party's leaders, bosses
and rustlers, have held another annual
meeting, for pointers and the like.
The full proceedings are not at hand
as yet, but our dispatches Of yesterday
morning clearly enough indicate their
trend. After individually declaring
that they would not, they did step
squarely onto the Eagles platform, de-
claring in favor Of the full restoration
Of silver to its old place, and giving
voice to the conviction that such re-
Mobilization would restore confidence
and insure a return of prosperity TO
all Of our people"
That is enough While no credit
will be given the Eagle, charges of its
ent, on that issue at least.

A S25o,OOO Conhagration at Springfield,
Ohio, Yesterday.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio. Oct. 3O.-Early
this morning Springfield WAS visited By
one OF the most disastrous fires in It's
history, involving total loss of $780,.
600 The blazs originated in the
kitchen OF the Lsgonda Hotel and
burned about four hours. 1t spread rap
Idly in spite of the fire departments
efforts and the Dayton department was
called upon for assistance.
There were numerous thrilling es-
capes. The building, q fve-story brick,
and the finest hotel in the city, was
totally destroyed. It WAS owned by
john w. Bookwslter, of New York.
The loss on the building and contents
is estimated at 500. 600; partially
insured.
On the street fronts were storerooms,
which contained some of the principal
stores of the city. The Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Office we're located
there and were burned. The loss to
both companies will run up into the
thousands.

The Novel of RELIGION.

tradesman who desired to have the Old
Testament at least broken into series
OF romances BY others, very likely
much less pious men, no version Of these
narratives can be tolerated except the
ancient original versions. Yet many
readers or hearers are so familiar with
these, or think themselves so familiar
(they would probably break down under
examination), that something more

tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical applause or been recl1-

novels hit n largo class of readers whose
tastes in other matters is not always
bad.
1t would be interesting to know what
the wits and critics of the restoration
thought and said about "The Pilgrim 8
Progress. Probably they never looked
into the cheap little book at all, tho
book which has outlivcd Etherege and
Sedley and Rochester and the rest Of
them. or course it does not by any
means follow that every religious novel
read by the people who do read such
things and neglected by critics is on
level with Bunyan's masterpiece An

Good Food Allowed to Decay Feature Of

There are few households in the land

The present activity in the field Of

tlous food versus medicine
Housewives doDot always realize that
they have prominent part to play in
this grave question of the day, the eds
posal of garbage" That responsibility
lies within the domestic threshold, and
to consign the collection of waste to the
scavenger is not the limit of her power
nor self satisfying conclusion What she
consigns does not concern her, and this
'bete noir" found i'll every part of the
land, a subject fraught with almost in
surmountable difficulties to those whose
business 1T is to find healthful and
quick disposal of garbage, is far more
the business of the housekeeper than she
is willing to acknowledge. We must go
back of the garbage can to find the cause.
American extravaganza is proverbial the
world over. We provide with a lavish

Ill large percentage of the middle and
lower classes is estimated to take very
often fully three-fourths of the income.

Convincing proof is found i'll the over
flowing garbage can. Lack of robustness
among certain class and the amount
of debility affecting majority of peo-

wrought body, which must endure some
how tho strain and stress of American
life and climate.
Tho unintelligent methods of poor
servants, unskilled in handling food, is
one cause Of the effect. 1t is considered
their prerogative to waste what does not
suit their fancy. "Leavings'' which may
be the best portions from the mistresses'
table are not palatable to their taste, and
SO good material is speedily hidden from
sight, more is called for, and a haphazard
supply to keep Bridget good natured
furnishes her with an abundance to
overflow ash cans, clog pipes, choke
traps, fill cesspools, draw ver1nin and
offer culture as medium for the ubiqui-
tous microbe. Noxious odors offend nos
trlls and dangerous effluvia jeopardize
health and obstruct sanitary measures.
1t is just this waste in the world that
has been the cause of plaques, pesti-
lences and diseases. 1t is wasted time,
