SOMEWHAT E0UIvOCAL-

From. the Kansas Breeze.
After making the proper discounts on &C
count OF the inconsistent unreasonable and
utterly wrong positions OF the editor. st
must still be acknowledged that the wIch-
ita Eagle is the most readable daily paper
published in Kansas.
The Eagle is mistaken in supposinz that
the Breeze has II in for Wichita On
the contrary Wichita is our pride and Joy.
The Eagle also nlisrepresents our criti-
cisms OF the editor. The fac; IS for some

of city receives salary large in
comparison.
While this is true, the real underlying
cause is probably the national inclina-
ton to be let alone.
The little town deserves to lose its
inhabitants The average little town
drives people from it. A man born in
a little town with a mind unpreudiced
and well balanced will in a few years
find himself the knot in a tangle of
local gossip and if not gossip politics.
and if not politics a society quarrel
and if not that a, church row. In the
average little town, like those that are
being wiped out in Massachusetts,
every mans business is every other
mans business. The corps of goSsips
whose mission ii is to break up families
and besmirch women and scandaiiZe
respectable men is large and vicious.
The division into factions no matter on
what question, is of long standing and
bitter. 1t is not possible to exist in one
of them and not join in the petty broils,
that in being small and morrow, are
none the less acrimonious and injuri-

alone, who wants peace, who considers
his family affairs his own, and who
does not desire to call in the whole
town to help him run his business.
packs up and leaves for the privacy he
can find in a big city. The little town
remains dwindling smaller and smaller;
the least ambitious and the more worth
less remain with it and quarrel and goS-
sip and meddle and die, besmirching
and beSmirched.
And the town itself will finally die
and when it does its epitaph should
be a rebuke: Mind Your Own BuSi-

ALASKA GOES NEXT.

England having beaten the United
States out Of her Alaskan seal fisheries,
practically, is still acting as if they
deemed the administration of Grover
Cleveland as lacking in backbone. At
every point and place where there has
arisen any question of right, England
has paid no attention to the protesta-
tionS or showingS Of this government.
That power has within the month prac-
ticaIly questioned the right of America
to construct the Nicaraguan canal. The
latest movement of Johnny Bull is an
attempt to capture portion of Alaska
under the cover of new survey. Rev.
Barnham, who has just returned from
that remote corner of the United
States possessions, says that England
has alarge surveying corps now en-
gagged in running the boundry to suit
themselves between British Columbia
and Alaska. unless we have gump-
tion," he says. in good Yankee phrase,

we always lose in arbitration" Since
1871 the boundary between Alaska
and Canada has never been disputed,
and Mr. Barnham is right in calling It
impertinence for England 10 call for
arbitration at this stage of the game.
England and Russia, long before
Alaska was acquired by the United
States, came to a distinct agreement
as to the boundary line between the
two countries. For sixty years Eng
land found no fault in these limits,
and in the treaty by which Alaska was

of them was copied verbatim. Abuot

with her usual ingenuity in such mat

A Stating INCIDENT.

In the fight inaugurated in this city,
inaugurated in the name of peace, by
professors. whose first act was to turn
bulldog loose with the talisman of
law and the insignia Of power, TO har-
rass the municipality, backed by
| hounds who were TO scent and track
citizens, some startling things have
been brought light, together with
some queer rivalries and jealousies ex-
isting among the leaders, who, wrapp-
ed in their cloaks of elf-righteOusness
tread up and down the streets and pose
on the corners with the air of Il am
better than thou" But among the
most startling incidents, and which re-
yeals the entire animus of the move
ment, are things which have occurred
in the courts of justice. Two or three
of these transpired yesterday. One OF
them was the demand of the attorney
designated by the authorities at Tope-
ka to make Wichita ''howling waste
if necessary to enforce the prOhibitory
law, that the police judge should issue
a special venire directed to the body OF
the county for jurymen. This coming
after days of futile attempts TO pro-
cure jury from among five thousand
qualified electors in the city tells its
own tale 1t was not only confession OF
weakness on the part Of the prosecu-
ton but proof that the great majority
of the people are utterly opposed to the
whole farce. Men were jibed at in
the course of examination as to their
uualifica tiOns, for jurymen, and the SOL
emn forms Of justice were rendered
trayesty by ridicule. But the most
startling fact was the objection urged
by the attorney generals subservient
parasite against men who had been
summoned that they were heavy tax
payers, and as large property overs
were therefore interested parties. If
the limit Of burlesque and irony was
ever reached in court of justice it
was in that objection. When it be-
comes necessary to the enforcement Of
any law or the conviction Of any per-
son under it. that it can no longer be
trusted to jury composed of the most
solid, reliable and worthy of the COM
munity, that the characterless, the
"ne'er do wells and the sub stratum
must be hunted up and sworn in to pass
upon questions vitally effecting the per
sonal rights of the individual citizen
and the material interests of the people,
accepted and enjoined with such SOL
emn duty only because they have no in
terests at stake, then the reductio ad
absurdum has not only been reached,
but the administration Of justice be-
comes a travesty and a mockery, in
which the things vital to good govern
ment and equality before the law are
left to the whims Of adventeurers, their
hired attorneys and irresponsible igno-
bleS.

THE SANTA FEE ITSELF AGAIN.

The Santa Fe system is soon to be
States court receivers, if all reports are
true. The Santa Fe, in fact, has never
been out of the hands or control Of the
men who have directed its affairs for
years. The receivers simply held the
property together and protected it as a
whole until a plan for reorganization
could be hit upon which in relieving it
of a portion of its great burthens would
preserve its autonomy. The reOrganiza
ton committee has completed its work
and Judge Caldwell will soon be appli-
ed to for an order of sale. The road
will be purchased of course by the com
mittee for the bondhOlders.
The receiver who has had most to
do with operating the great system
under the receivership, is J. G. Wilson,
a Kansas man. In the discharge of the
honerous duties. in comprehending the
immense responsibility, and cOnserv-
ing its many and far reaching and com
millions of dollars, he has demOnstrat-
ed his fitness TO manage any great rail-
way. The scheme for the reOrganiZa-
ton is also credited to a Kansas lawyer
Charles S. Gleed.
The reorganization is to be completed
and the road put into the hands Of the
owners, through a legal sale, within a
few weeks. The securities of the
road have scaled down 30 per cent,
which means reduction of one-half in
the fixed charges which the cOmpenay
will be obliged to meet. This 70 to be
commended as an act Of wisdom. Like
all otl:er great systems, the Santa Fe
has been loaded down under a burden
of high intereSt-bearing bonds. 1t taxed
the earnig power of the road in good
mes to meet the interest; when the
panic came it was obliged to go TO the
wall. Now if the reorganization COM
mittee has capitalized the road at some
thing like its real value and fixed its
interest charges with some reference 10
its earnings capacity, as demonstrated
in former years. their action is TO be
commended. for il means that the road
will be able To maintain solid finan-
cial basiS-meet its interest, pay its
bill, settle promptly its traffic balances,
pay good wages and have surplus
for keeping the physical condition of
the line constantly AT its highest stand
ard Of efficiency.
This. 1T least il is 10 be hoped, Will
be the outcome of the Santa Fe reor-
ganiZation. As system il is most
intimately connected with the growth
and prosperity Of fourteen states and
territories of the west and southwest
It's terminal points are 81 Chicago, s..
Louis. Galveston. Denver. FL Paso and
San Diego, and its many thousand
