The most popular of all state politi-
clans with Governor Morrill, is Morton
Aibaugh of Kingman. If Morrill, was
a boss in politics there is no telling how
high Morton would go.
The idea is growing among the poll
ticfans that this year the newspapers
are cutting no political figure. Most or
the Kansas politicians declare it is be-
cause the newspapers Go not tell the
truth.

IT'S PUFF AND CHEW.

The American is high-strung, intense
and nervous compared to the people or
all other nationalities, and that ne Is
less a consumer of stimulants and a
greater of narcotics and other soporific
falatives is logical That tobacco smells
his pockets, spoils his clothes and
makes a chimney OF his nose, has no
weight with the American consumer
of tobacco. The bicycle craze has af-
fected every kind of business save that
of tobacco. Statistics show that the
consumption of the weed is on the in
crease. The old song that Tobacco is
an Indian weed; twas the devil saved
the seed" fails as warning TO the
average American. The most discour-
aging and sinister fact of all is the
startling increase in the manufacture
of cigarettes. 1t stated that 1850, s44, 22O
cigarettes were made in the United
States during the year ending June 80.
1896. This is stated to be an increase
of 722, SAB over the preceding year.
Even a large number of cigars Were
made, the figures being 4,237, l55s43.
But the increase over the preceding
year was only 73,7S3,504
In other words. the increase in the
number of cigarettes used during the
fiscal year was nearly ten times as
great as the increase in the consumption
OF cigars. The amount of tobacco man
ufactured for chewing and smoking was
253, SCI, 13s pounds, an increase of $780,
397 pounds over the previous year. and
there was an increase of something over
million pounds in the manufacture OF
snuff, strange as it may seem. The
curious fact is brought out by the re-
port that more cigars and more pounds
of chewing and smoking tobacco were
made during the panic year of 1893 than
during any other year from 1887 TO 1896,
inclusive.
Certainly those who believe that the
use of tobacco leads to all sorts Of III
health and bad morals have small cause
for encoura gement in these figures.
There are a great many people who
hold what they consider a more liberal
view, and who may even use tobacco
themselves. who will be either alarmed
or disguised at the figures relating to
cigarettes. If the increase in the man
ufacture fthis seductive form OF the
weed continues during the next few
years as it has during the past year.
there VIII be an effect and a most SER
ious effect upon the strength and
health Of the young men OF the country.

but are preferrins to support them as
against all ether IDe, named. and all
other platforms enUociated, which be-
ing the case. and being true, what more
would our critics have. or otherwise de-
mand. at our hands. as Republican,
or as an editor Of Republican paper
While it may be true that personal
patronage inspires the average editor,
and that party pap is the highest in
centiye of the political puller, neverthe-
less there is craftsmanship that is as
honest as il is unselish, as independent
as ii is exalted.
The Eagle has never made fight
against party men or measures that
it was not convinced that it was for
it's party's good. Some of these fights
have been not only unpopular with Re-
publican leaders but were known TO be,
before undertaken, as impossible Of
any returns in either money or glory.
or in anything else save criticism and
abuse. no more logical or reasonable
than that now heaped upon us because
we could not smooth over the utter
indefensible outrage of shelving Chief
Justice Martin at the behest of the
railroads, or declaring that We believe
that gold monometalliSm is the best
thing for the people when convinced to
the contrary.
The man who believes with the edf-
tor of the Eagle. or who votes as the
Eagle talks is for Mckinley and HO-
bart and his ballot will be headed
straight Republican ticket" and he
will vote for every nominee on that
ticket. What more can our critics ask
or demand?

OUR DYCHE AND NANSEN.

hansen is back. His interesting let
ter which appeared in the Eagle told
the story of his privations in a simple,
effective way. That privations they
were. is shown when he relates how
the thermometer registered for three
weeks AZ degrees below zero. and at
one time reached 62 degrees below
zero: how he and his companion, john
anson. lived on blubber and bears
meat for ten months and how he was
misled and discouraged by following
the inaccurate map of former and a
preceding explorer.
NanseIr started out three years ago.
His theory that current and WIND
would drive him across the North Pole
was a fallacy. He left his ship the
Fran in 1895 In charge Of the sailors,
aad with one companion started on
ahead to the north.
The ice became rougher and rougher.
It was an ice-ocean, the pillows SEEM
ipgly frozen as they rolled To climb
over these forever and forever was
dishearten;pg, and at last he gave up
rlte attempt to reach the North Pole.
7 his was SO degrees IA minutes north,
farther than any man has ever gone
north before In returning the men
found the ice breaking and the snow
melting. and were constantly cut off
from a safe retreat Their food gave
ont. Finally part of their dogs had to
be killed and fed to their surviving
comnanions. At last the two men
found bear and killed him, using him
for clothing. food, bedding and tent.
For ten months in their bearskin tent
they lied cn bear wheat and blubber.
AT last they were found by the Jack
son Farnsworth expedition, and Nan
sen is again safe in Norway.
What of the Fran? 1t is still some
where in the frozen north. hansen
himself believes it is safe. There is
no substantial proof of this, however.
1t may have succumbed to the dread
full ice pressure.
All Kansans are interested in the
express reason that one Kansan,
nyche. declares he will discover the
North Pole by a novel plan-the plum
pudding method.
Dycbe says he will take a ship load
os stuff 10 eat, that he will establish
stations at short intervals, and will
climb slowly over the ice with a full
stomach to the North Pole.
Nansen's failure does not preclude
the possibility OF Dyche's plan. 1t is
true that the Tram had five years pro-
visions on beard. but NanSen left her
because she was Embedded in ice. SO
will Dyche leave his ship. hansen
proceeded north with his dogs. He
did rot establish stations and provision
them and then proceed onward to an
other station. He fixed no station.
lie did not carry provisions nor pro-
vide for emergency, and the very first
thing which thrust him back to the
south and chilled his courage and per-
s:StEecy was hunger.
For that reason Dyche's theory has
not been disproved. 1t will hold good
until Dyche fails TO make his claims
good.
The chances are that the discovery
of the North Pole isno to fall TO the
lot of a riner or a scientist, but to a
hunter, a hunter who is not so much
Interested in observing the salinity OF
the water az he is in keeping nice warm
food in his stomach.

tice and sneering at the woes OF the
world. These are some Of the round
ed. ringing sentences which turned the
head of the editor of the Post, as ii
doubtless did many another of such as
are compelled to accept Chauncey De-
pew and his kind as orators, but who
having never been in the west have
little conception of that power which
thrilled the world from the foot OF the
Parthennon in the Athenian acropolis.
and inspired revolutions in the Roman
Forum.
PROFESSIONALLY the proximity of the
Wichita woman to the Nebraska man
proved unfortunate for the ambitions
of the bright little Mrs Bryan. who
next to her own brains sets so much
store by the oratorical powers of her
running mate.

KANSAS AND PROHIBITION.

The chief issue in the nomination of
governor was the attitude of the pres
ent executive towards the prohibitory
law. Kansas adopted a prohibition
amendment to the constitution In 1880
by the narrow majority of about 1000
in total vote of more than 10000.
For some years past everything has in
dicated that a majority of the people
are opposed to prohibition, but IL has
been impossible to secure legislature
which would ote to reSumbit the Ques-
ton, as the opposition is largely CEN
tered in the cities and chief towns,
which choose but minority of the
members. In many of these cities and
large towns public sentiment does not
sustain attempts to enforce the law.
and it is iolated. more or less openly,
with the consent of the authorities.
A few months after he became COVER
nor in January, 1895, Mr.. Morrill, an
nounced that he should not attempt
enforcement where he could not Sc
cure the support Of local sentiment,
and he hasm aintained this position,
with more or less ''wabbling," eer since.
The prohibitory element in the party
owed vengeance upon him, but 1t was
too weak to accomplish anything, and
he was renominated yesterday. The
incident is another sign of the weaken
ing hold of the prohibition sentiment
upon the people Of the west, among
whom it seemed very strong dozen or
fifteen years ago.-New York Evening

POLITICAL INCONSISTENCY.

We are living under a Democratic
administration, so Democratic that the
name of it's president has been coupled
with that of Jefferson and Jackson,
quite frequently of late Under this
| Democratic administration, factories,
mines and furnaces are being closed
and the past week has recoCded some
of the most disastrous bank failures
| of history Within ten days the GOge-
bee mines of Lake Superior stopped
work because the demand for GRE has
ceased. About the mouth and dumps
Of these mines thousands of tons Of
ore lie piled up with no incoming or
| ders. Thousands Of men are thrown
| out of employment, and the dispatches
announce that these workmen have
| been left in a destitute condition and
will have TO be supported by charity, or
by the public authorities Following
this discouraging news comes the word
that the coke ovens of western Penn
sylvania have been shut up. There be-
ing no use for iron ore there is no
use for coke to convert that iron ore
into steel rails. Following these the
iron mills along the Ohio river are clos
ing down, and logically. The big mill
at Louisville closed on Tuesday. There
is no enterprise anywhere, only dis
trust everywhere, in factory and bank,
in mine and shop all alike. And this
under a Democratic administration,
the result of a Democratic policy, ideas
and methods If this is not true what
kind of an administration is it, and
who but the Democratic party and its
leaders are responsible? Surely it can
not be charged up to the account OF the
Republican party, which party has not
had a word to say in conducting the
affairs of this country for the three
years and a half last past Still we
have the Democratic party in the field
again asking the Populists to lay down
and that the Republicans be kept
down. In face of the fact that DEM
ocratic policy has closed these mines,
factories and shops, thereby running
the market for the products Of the field,
which in turn destroyed the demand
from the farmer for the product of the
factory, the Democratic party, which
swallowed the PopulistS to gain addi-
tional strength, will through its nomi-
neeS and leaders be found from this
time on denouncing the only party
which can open these factories and
mines and bring around good times,
and while denOuncing will be begging
the people TO retain this old party of
destruction and disaster four more
years in power with an inexperienced
man at its head, whose cry, since he
was first able to make himself heard,
has been for free trade and the very
policy which has brought about the
unhappy and discouraging conditions
referred to- Mr.. Bryan is the chosen
head of the Democratic party, differ
ing with only small contingent Of
that party touching the money ques-
ton, bu at all other points at one with
Mr.. Cleveland and viii every other
Democratic leader. The question of
free coinage and coinage only Onu gov
eminent account, aside, and these are
the problems which are now confront
ing every American citizen and which
every citizen must decide for himelf
between now and November.
