ArTRITIoN NOT PERSUASION.

No one appreciates the futility OF ar
guing with a Populist more than a
Kansas Republican. The Kansas Pop
uliSt is a singular bird, made up OF
three parts. as follows:
Bitterness.
Bull-headedness.
Buncombe.
There is not a Republican paper -
the state which has not done great
good to the Populist party as an organ
ization. There is not Republican
paper In the state which has not re-
buked its party leaders at times. which
has not condoned the offenSe of Popu-
liSm. which has not recognized that
ne pO7ulist party as protest was
made up of men with a just grievance.
Most OF the Kansas Republican pa
rers. the fairest papers in the United
States as 4 class. have discovered. how
ever that the encoursg cement of Popu-
lism is great mistake. Why: Be
cause of PopuliSm's
Bitterness.
Bullheadedness,
Buncombe.
We see the bitterness Of Populism IN
its intense hatred for men who oppose
it. and in its Intolerance for other mems
views Ii was only few campaigns
ago that an old soldier in Kansas
town was knocked down by strap
ping young fellow because that old
soldier did not subscribe to the fat
money plan. And yet today PopuliSm
itself has dropped fat money. Al
though the Kansas Republican news
papers have always been ready TO give
Populism justice for its good acts, Pop

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
I would Ike to ask a few questions
through your columns. 1st. How does the
Mexicans in Mexico Ike free coinage Of
silver? 2nd- How would It do for the Unit
ed States 20 try free silver on one state
for a while? Ord. Was Mark A Hanna
ever a Popufist MONEY MUNSON.
First-The ''MeXicaneers" seem well
satisfied with free silver under which

OPENING OF THE MAJESTIC.


The Majestic Office building. the new sky
scraper of the Indianapolis Gas Company, will be
opened for public inspection tomorrow between
the hours OF 10 a. IL. and 1880 y. IN. The build
,rr Is now complete. and Is without doubt the
IN est Office building in the state. and as well
equipped for its purposes Probably as any IN the
world Ii Is ten stories nigh and contains ly
reached by three modern elevators, which travel
al the rate of SIX hundred feet a minute. but
are perfectly safe. Eacn OF the suites OF Office
rooms is connected by wire with the telephone
EXCHANGE, and Is fitted out with electric lights
and steam heating apparatus. The plants Tor
generating the electricity and heating the build
tnC are contained in the basement.
The building is what Is known rs a steel skele-
ton structure. IL is apparently a stone structure.
but the entire weight OF the building is sup
pcrted DIV the steel skeleton. which Is covered on
The exterior by the stone facing. The building
has a water supply OF it's own. and Is in every
respect independent of the commercial COM
panies. The water Is obtained from two eight
inch driven wells. which penetrate 10 feet into
the solid stone underlying the city The water
has been analysed by the best chemists and pro-
nounced suitable for drinking and domestic pur-
poses. as well as a good water Tor use IN boilers.
In Is the general opinion Of visitors 20 the city
Who have seen the magnificent Office Buildings OF
New York and Chicago that the Majestic Is
really a more modern building and a finer struct-
ure OF It's size than any IN either city. Il - small
compared with some OF the buildings I'm New
York and Chicago. but no expense has been
spared 10 make IL the equal In construction OF
airy IN the world.
