DEMOCRATS AND KANSAS.

! We do not blame the Kansas Demo-
cratic voter for feeling Inundated at
times. The Democratic party is one
of the two great national political Or
CARNATIONS. All other organizations
outside those two amount to very little.
The Kansas Democrat knows this. He
| knows that if he was in Illinois or in
Ohio or In Indiana or in any eastern
state, the declaration that he was a.
Democrat would put him on one side of
the big battle
Several years ago there was a great
slump from the Republican party. 1t
was whipped out of sight In many
quarters it was said the Republican
party was dead. The Democrats In
| other states We're wild with joy. In
Indiana the Democrats had whipped
the Republicans. In Ohio the Demo-
Gratis had whipped the Republicans.
And in kansaS-the Democrats, mad
they whipped the Republicans? No.
The Populists had whipped the Republi
| cans. Where were the Democrats of
Kansas that they We're lot with their
brothers Of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois?
Their leaders with their following were
were tagging after the Populists, while
the simon-pure Democrats remained
at home on election day in disgust.
BY the trickery of their leaders by the
thirst of those leaders for small of
fees. the Democrats OF Kansas have
been thrown down repeatedly. The
Democrats are not recognized national
ly in any way. Cleveland the head OF
the party has even gone so far as to
insult what little following he has in
Kansas by giving Jack Richardson.

committee, a $40 month job

long as they allow the Populist ticket

InSerso,rs Mistaken Bible Lesson.

Editor Of the Eagle:
In Mr.. Ingalls, article. published by you
yesterday. he says that there was FIVE bill
lion dollars worth of gold and two billion
dollars worth of silver in Solomon's Tenn
pie, according to the Bible. Robert forgets
that silver was then worth four times an
much as il As worth now. and gold two
and a half times more than Il is now.
Hence. the amount of gold in the temple
was only equal to two billion now, and the
''undemonetized silver only equal to FIVE
hundred million. neither OF which IS half
the amount coined into money al present.
while twice as much more IS used In the
manufacturing arts. at the present time

FIGHT OR BACK DOWN.

1t is not yet a probability, but ii Is a
possibility that there will be a war be
tween England and the United States.
1t is quite certain that either the Unit
ed States must back down from the
Monroe doctrine or England will have
TO change her attitude on the Venezue-
la boundary question or otherwise Gene
Wares dream may prove anything but
irridescent. The seriousness of such
a war. what il would involve or a guess
at its results cannot be even touched
upon in the compass of an article. The
financial and commercial interests of
England permeate every state and
every enterprise almost, in the United
States. These would all be crippled
and largely destroyed. While there is
no use denying that the American navy
is weaker than that of England, yet
Canada, an English possession. lies the
length Of our entire northern BOUNDARY,
and the war would not be wholly a
naval one. 1t would be hard TO guess
the fall of Boston. New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore. New Orleans and San
Francisco but very easy to guess what
would become Of English commerce on
the high seas. There would be speedy
protection of some character given TO
these cities named, but our big, fast
and magnificent war vessels like the
Indiana, Minneapolis, Columbia, and
the others would play havoc with Eng
lands outside supplies. The great
army maneuvers would be on Canada
soil To that dominion would the En-
glish army have to be transported by
thousands of miles of sea. The army of
the United States would go to the bat
tie ground by land, by rail and by
water. Canada would be wiped out.
OF course in this view complications
with France. Germany and Russia are
left out 1t is hardly likely that Great
Britain could get into a war with the
United States over the Monroe doc
Urine without involving the powers
named. But as stated, somebody must
back down or in the absence of an ar
bitration concession upon the part of
England there is the possibility of war
between the United States and Great
Britain. That such a war would be
among the greatest, most disastrous
and far reaching Of all history need not
be argued. 1t is easier, safer and more
sure TO predict back down. Cleveland
and Olney and Bayard will take water
On the Monroe doctrine, and if neces-
sary to avoid even unpleasant COM
plications will consent that no such
doctrine in any definite form was ever
or seriously thought of by
he people Of the United States.

MAY BE DEMOCRATIC.

The Democratic party while in the
minority in the Uniced States senate win
more than likely still hold the control
OF the orgauizariou Of that body. The
Republicans could organize the sen
aoe by an alliance with the Populists,
but an alliance with the Popuiists while
being dangerous might prove disas-

THE ONLY ISSUE.

\
sue; and that issue is: shall the Eagle
be endorsed and sustained in the figh1
it has made for the taxpayers, the
property-owners, and the business in
terests of this city and county.
The Republican ticket represents the
Republican party in a general way.
The other ticket represents no party,
represents nothing. represents nobody
save the individuals upon ii who are
seeking office.
The sole question is was the Eagle
right in standing by the administra-
ton of the Jones, Pratt, Husey police
| commission, or was it wrong? Did it
! voice the majority will of the people of
the city and county in protesting
against the appointment OF Bill Camp
bell and his wholesale, expensive and
useless prosecution, or not? Was it
right when it declared that the kicking
of Hatton out of the police judgship an
infamous outrage because he wouldn't
obey the behests Of the Hi Lewis crowd
by violating his oath and conscience, or
not? Did it make a mistake in de-
manding that the joint revenues should
go into the city treasury rather than as
blackmail into the pockets Of the gang
now running things or not? Under all
the circumstances was the Eagle war
ranted in opposing its own party and
the state administration of Morrill, and
Dawes in their attempt to make an
example" of Wichita to please the
State Temperance union and few
broken down individuals in this city,
or not? In all the fight which the
Eagle made in behalf Of the business
interests Of the town. and Of the tax
payers of the county. was it wise OF
unwise, patriotic or unpatriotic, selfish
or unselfish?
These are the questions confronting
the legal voters Of Sadgwick county
and they involve the whole issue, out
side of the personel Of the two tickets.
Was the 'boycott'' which was run
against the Eagles subscription books
and advertising columns, because it
dared stand up in face Of preachers,
teachers and the chief executive of the
state, to save Wichita from being COM
mercially downed and her wholesale |
trade scattered and her live stock and |
packing house enterprises transferred |
to another point, well advised or not?
Were, and are, the taxpayers and |
voters of this county and city in SYM
patty with the effort which was put |
forth to raise stock for a new paper to |
break down the Eagle, and for the
founding of daily to promulgate the
ideas of the gang who have been urg-
ing on the useless and expensive prose-
cutions, and for endorsing the admins
tration in making an example of WITCH
ita, are they or are they not in sympa-
thy with that movement and that
crowd which is still working to accom-
plish that thing?
These are all simple propositions,
which everybody can understand, but
they encompass all that there is in the
way of local issue in the present cam
paign.
The defeat Of the Eagles ticket Ia a
population Of its course touching all
The matters named. The defeat Of the
Republican ticket is not only the de-
'eat of the most deserving men, but it
will be a public declaration that the
Eagle made a foliSh fight and one
which the majority of the people did
lot and do not endorse. /
There is no two sides to this.

hypocrisy connected with it, the political
shyStering, the enormous expense, with
out enforcing the law, have Sickened him.
While he would regret to see the saloons
return, with all its evils, ne thinks that
high license and rigid regulation would be
preferable to the present farce. There
fore, he would vote for resubmission. That
sentiment is gaining tremendous force in
Kansas. The preachers crusade this sum-
mer has made more anti-prohibitionists
than anything else that has happened.
Men who were content to let the law re-
main, have come out in favor of its re-
peal, and repeal is what will be the out
come. The law has been the plaything
of hypocrftes, shysters. political preachers
and demagogues- 1t has torn I'D the

TWO PROHIBITION PAPERS.

The people Of Kansas have never
been accused of being slow. And they
are not Kansas is state of ''up-to-
date" people. But Kansas people Of a
necessity, have been tenacious of their
political convictions and principles, as
well as progressive. Believing that
prohibition" meant both temperance
and progress they adopted it. Hay-
ing once determined upon the policy
they have been slow to acknowledge
that the policy is mistaken one, that
prohibition has meant anything else
but temperance. 1t has taken them
fourteen years TO see that the law is
demoralizing, full of hypocrisy and COW
ert corruption. But it would seem that
they are realizing that a law which has
been for fourteen years persistently
and continuously violated in letter and
in spirit in almost every Town in the
state is doing more harm than good.
As evidence Of the change of sentiment
we herewith publish editorials from
two prominent papers which have adj

law for years:
There was time not so long ago when
to be known as an anti-prohibitionist was
certain defeat for any candidate in Kan
sas. Behold how Things have changed.
In the high places of state We have many
who are hostile to the law, and who, had
they the power, would wipe it out. Only
last winter the legislature OF Kansas,
Republican legislature, elected to the
United tSates senate a man who has al
ways been a bitter opponent 10 the law,
even boiling the Republican tickle but
few years ago IN order to fight prollibi-
ton. And now we have Mr.. Ingalls,, full
panoplied, if that is the right word, and
in the field for United States senator, max
ing rabid anti-prohibition speeches in Or
der to aid himself in reaching his ambi-
ton. 1t is true that there has been
complete change of sentiment, and that
Kansas would repudiate prohibition if an
opportunity should be given? The cleo
ton of Senator Baker certainly indicates
that, and the attitude of Mr.. Ingalls,
shows conclusiyely that he believes 1t.

ton, to take an inventory and find how
we stand on this matter?-Lawrence Jour
