NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK. Aur.st stocks were
feverish and, as OF late, the bulk Of the
business was In the Inlustrials. Tobacco
monopolized speculation during the early
session. but IN the afternoon Sugar
forged rapidly to the front.
Tobacco was very erratlc in its course.
The stock opened at g. fell to 80 L.

guard in making arrests. Not only
this, but the services of state militia
have become necessary on the Hoosier
side of the line. and the rather unc-
tious threat of her bourbon governor
has gone out that he will spill an uE
limited amount of blood rather than
allow the sucker contingent to come
over and pollute the morals of the
Rohy gamblers. This exhibition of
state pride is truly commendable, but
it is merely an incident TO the main
fact that there is sure enough war
resorts. II there is truth in the adage
that when thieves fail out and honest
people get their dues" surely here is
first-class opportunity. If such dues
could be collected and paid in honest
coin the hard working farmers and me-
chanics of the sister states might send
in their acquisitions. and divert these
i'll gotten gains TO the worthy purpose
of providing bread for the dependent
ones This, however, is one of those
lEuluS III TIE dDSlTdtI WHICH WAS never
known to benefit community in the
concrete, and it becomes a matter of
at least interesting curiousity, what
may be the outcome or how best to
adjust the matter. The close proximity
and horizontal attitude of the two
states precludes settlement of the
difficulty by a diplomatic correspond
ence. 1t would seem ridiculous to call
in nonresident arbitrators to settle a
quarrel engendered by the exchange of
wordy epithets and profanities across
an imaginary state line. In a figurative
sense, there would be less harm to the
community if the whole Kilkenny crew
could be metaphorically grouped and
swung by the tails over the line which
defines the state boundary, and allow
ed to spit and spat and rend each other
till all inclination to prolong the feline
war was over. Further than this it
would be saving Of court costs and
SheriffS' fees.

KINGLY PRERoGATIVES.

No history of Grover Cleveland's sec
ond administration viii be complete
without Il full exposition of his efforts
to enforce kingly power in this coun-
try. The one thing Of all others in
which he has been consistent has been
his steady and unrelenting purpose TO
bring the people to perfect submission
to his personal behests and his arbi-
traTy rules. The fact that his financial
policy has reduced the masses from
a condition of universal prosperity TO
that bordering on abject servitude,
seems not to be the slightest i'm
pediment 10 his designs. He practically
says TO the common people that there
is certain policy, formulated and
mapped out for them 10 follow. and
that, come what will to individual in
tereStS. that policy viii be enforced.
Surely no one will accuse him Of being
inconsistent or dilatory in the Use OF

THE FARTY'S DANGER.

That which threatens the existence
of tie Republican party as the great
party of freedom and of equality, is
not so much the Bill Mckinley tariff
and the failure of the Sherman act. as
the threats of Carlisle and the balance
Of the Cleveland cuckoos to vote the
Republican ticket in ease the national
Democratic convention resolves in IA
yor of free silver. Secretary Carlisle
declared, within the week, that he
would in such an event be compelled
to vote the Republican ticket. Presum-
ably he was speaking for his whole
crowd. As much as we deplore the
possibility of such a catastrophe TO the
party Of Lincoln and Grant, and regret
the exegency which threatens TO bring
it about, it conclusively proves one
thing heretofore maintained by the
Eagle, and that is that with Cleveland
and his crowd it is gold first and prin-
cipleS afterward. These fellows hav-
ing worked their party for all that
there is in it in the way of honors and
scadS and finding themselves unable
longer to fool the great body of men
composing it, with their Golfers full Of
appreciated gold and their skins full
of whisky threaten to sink the Repub-
lican party by loading it down with
their monometalliSIn.

THE MAN ON THE BENCH.

A county judge up at Leavenworth,
presumably in the interest of a coterie
OF pill peddlers. has set out to force the
discoverer of the Keeley cure into di-
vulging his secret, or the Ingredients
of which the cure is composed. We
suppose If the doctor refuses he will
be jailed.
The people of this country, some day,
are going to call halt on courts and
on their judges. Laws and conStitu-
tons will have TO be altered, or other
wise every conceivable interest will be
at the mercy Of the men on the bench.
Even now the individual has no show
as against corporation whatever his
case. The corporation lawyer, beaten
before jury, after as many postpone
ments of the case as the judge will per-
nit simply appeals to some higher
court and then still higher in the mean
time obtaining all the delays possible
In the end the higher court passes
upon some technical phase of the suit
and sends it back for Il rehearing on
court of Kansas was created for the
purpose of giving the individual a
chance TO be heard. but we are inclined
to the opinion that the working of il

free born American. with certain in
dividual rights; but we guess that that
Leavenworth judge will teach him diff
ferent. and he Will be compelled 10

hit TO humanity. or otherwise rot in

KANSAS WILL LEAD.

The official report of the secretary
of the Kansas State Agricultural So
ciety for April shows that seven and
a half millions Of acres have been
planted to corn and one and a half
million acres sown TO oats. If the
figures are correct and the season is
anything like Il fair one Kansas will
undoubtedly lead every state in the
Union in the production of feeding
grains. The secret of such a vast
acreage Of corn is found in the fact
that the wheat promised so poorly
one-half or more of it has been plowed
up and planted to corn. The season
so far has been fairly favorable but is
ten days in advance of the average
year. Kansas wheat will not amount
to much this year as a crop, and had
the crop been big one the price
which would have been realized would
have been discouraging. But corn,
two hundred millions of BUSHES of
corn, VIII mean fat hogs and fat cat
tie, many of them and big pile of
money
