Venezuela Many papers profess TO
believe that 1t will be impossible for
the United States to escape a field and
ocean conflict with Spain. While the
Eagle believes that no war is possible
for the United States except it be with
England, now or at any time In the
future it trembleS as it recalls Senator
Morgan's speech.
In his recent speech on the resoIu-
ton providing for the recognition bv
this country OF the belligerent rights
or the Cuban revolutionists Senator
Morgan declared that in his opinion
Congress has the perfect, independent
absolute right to make this recognition
OF belligerency or a declaration OF in

command the commander-in-chjeF of

II II is necessary and in person TO see
to the execution of that order" There
being applause in the galleries AT this
declaration, he was encouraged TO add:
Il never have thought that the COM

United States could refuse TO go into
the field and lead armies because he
did not want to fight if we ordered

THE CAPITALS BOAST.

The Eagle elsewhere prints an edi-
torial from the Topeka Capital which
seems, in a more or less direct way,
devoted To this city, to its morning pa
per. it's people and its officers. At
tention is called to the editorial more
ers that the writer is not attempting
any comic or caricature role, but, in
all probability, is In downright dead
earnest, believing every word he says
to be true. Barring any suggestion
of travesty and our readers will IN
derstand in what estimate they are
held by the people of Topeka for IN
questionably the Capital reflects the
sentiments of that town. We must,
indeed, be hard lot if the Capitals
picture is anywhere near a correct por-
traiture. We however, find no con-
soling reflection in the fact that he
links Leavenworth and Atchison with
Wichita. We are not so much worse
than the other important cities of the
state and suffer only when compared
to Topeka But so do the other cities
also. The Eagle is as much surprised
to hear that it is saloon organ" as
the people of the state will be astonish-
ed to learn that the state convention
was given to Wichita to placate the
Eagle. If its editor, as the Capital
asserts, has any particular boom for
delegate-at-large to the national Re
publican convention, such BEEN can be
traced to no act or word of his. AS
for ''home rule" the Eagle pleads gull
~ to being a strong advocate of that
doctrine; it can, in fact, conceive of no
other rule under which government
of the people, for the people and by the
people can survive. The thing which
now, above all others, threatens the
liberties of the people is the political
Capitalization Of incorporated wealth
and class power. Liberty and monOp- |
oily are Of impossible unifcation. But |
our contemporary will please note the |
fact that with all of the Eagles kick |
ing it has held fast and close to the |
horns Of the altar Of the Republican |
party.

BOOTHS PREJUDICE AND FAITH.

While the trouble is new TO the Sal
| threatens TO rend it, is in style, peculi-
arly aged without being decrepit. Diff
ferences in religion sopinions, or diff
! ference in the conduct of religious
opinion is as old as the hills from whose
tops the sun was first worshipped and
on which hills some devotee objected
and declared that it was the moon and
not the sun which should be- paid de-
! votiOn- The reason for the ease which
men acquire in disputing on religious
| subjects has never been clearly de-
| fined.
| The singular contest which character
lied the crusades, did not arise from
| an honest desire either to hold or get
possession of the holy sepulcher, al
though that highly sentimental cause
was alleged. On the contrary the
Turks and the Christians took particu-
lar delight in butchering one another
because of a difference of belief in re-
spective heavens, which both sides, by
their atrocity, disbarred themselves
from, in all likelihood. After the cru
sades, the Christian fighters returned
to Europe, and having a common hea-
ven, forthwith began butchering one
another because of a difference of opin-
ion as to the best and most approved
way of reaching that heaven.
This lasted several hundred years
and was brought to America, and what
is left of it is found in our sectarian-
ism of today.
A religious fight has long been known
for its intensity. The probable rea-
son for this intensity is that opinions
in religion becomes a faith and faith
a question or a doubt. When two
faiths meet, the contest is bitter. No
fault could be found with the intense
faith, if it did not bring under the
guardianship of it's zeal. subjects that
are not germane to religion and discus
sions that are foreign to religious prob
lens.
This is the case with the difficulty
in the Booth family. General Booth
withdrew his Son, Ballington, from
command in the United States because
he was mixing up the stars and stripes
with the Salvation army too much"
General Booth being an Englishman
let the reel Of his prejudice spin out
to its full, and in order to satisfy a
false fear that the Salvation army
might lose in efficacy, by appropriate
ing characteristics other than English, !
he endangered the whole splendid uni
~ of the Salvation army, which he,
had originated. The unity |
of the Salvation army was not threat |
ened, but by acting upon the presump- |
ton that it was, General Booth him
self has seriously threatened it.
The old man, who has accomplished |
so much good in the world, has not
made the mistake wilfully, but from
zeal intensified into violent prejudice.

THE CAVE FAD.

What Is the subtle property of the
air which telegraphs fads, and with
the farce Of intuition moves all minds
with common impulse?
During the passing of the last week
in our earthly span, several prairie
gold discoveries have been made. With
no chance of a concerted trick, and no
object TO be obtained by one. Perry,
Oklahoma, Washington county, Kan
sas and a rural district in Arkansas
suddenly break loose from a quiet
thraldom OF obscurity and Jolt the
world into realization of their momen-
touS presence by proclaiming the dis
covery of gold. The truly wonderful
feature of this matter is not that gold
should be found in good rich alluvial
loan, but that these widely separated
places, should strike upon the belief
IN so unusual a discovery at the iden-
teal time. OF course 10 will be limited
that all these finds were merely the
result of q diplomatic method of stay
ing the depopulaung effects of local
exodus TO booming Cripple Creek But
the inuendo is unrenable, because the
discovery in each case has originated
with farmer who is not interested in
swelling the census OF any town in the
interest OF corner lots
The only explanation is no explsna-
ton at all. IL is that some microbe
of suggestive relepathy floats in the
air and SEXES upon the grey matter
of those who are susceptible 10 such
things.
During the last week. the cave eI-
ploring fad" has also broken out AT
La Sale, Illinois, the town propelled
by some mysterious impulse, has turn
ed out with picks and shovelS and is
cropping around in an old cave. The
legend, and no cave ever existed with |
out a legend. is that in an early day !
the Indians therea bouts were seen with |
large amounts OF copper. II is now |
believed that there is a Subteraneal |
copper mine in the La Sale cave, which /
the Indians once worked IL is 10 /

is now N progress.
With electrical rzpidity central Kan
sas also spurs itself into fever over

Of Hope. The legand hanging shout

Of gold is hidden therein and its lcca-

IN possession. Some time ago she
