KANSAS GETTING THERE.

Kansas is, unquestionably, emerging
from the depths, surely Strengthening
ont of her financial kinks. Her return
to prosperity is not coming through I'M
migration or the money of speculation,
but out of the efforts Of her OWN pec-
ple. In the years of distress of the M
mediate past in which ambitious COM
mecial mushrooms have gone down
and under by the hundred. they ana
their incipient enterprises, there mas
been enc eide of Kansas that has not
gone backward, bct which all the wMle
has steadily developed and strengthen
cd. From an agricultural stand-view
Kansas has grown and increased stead
i,y and the results have begun to be felI
along her commercial and financial
lines. The trade of her communities Is
increasing and the banks of her towns
are slowing an enlarging volume Of
deposits. The state is coming out
through her own resources, and such
conle-nut means solidity and perman-
ency.
The statement of Bank Commissioner
Prudential shows that the banks Of
Kansas, that is. the state and private
banks, have S425, 900 more on deposit
now than they had a year ago; that the
reserve in those banks is $685. 900 more
than il was a year ago. and that their
loans have decreased in that time SS15,-
DO0 In other words, that in the pas
year tue people of Kansas have paid OF
the debts they owed to state and private
banks almost a million of dollars, and
have. at the same time, increased their
deposits in those banks more than four
hundred thousand dollars. There is no
mistaking the meaning Of those figures.
Kansas people have at last recognized
the necessity of saving some of their
money, and they are doing itA

THAT SPANISH PRISONER.

If Spain has decided to treat the Gu
ban general, Rivera, as prisoner of
war, as reports would seem TO indicate,
1t is doubtless because she keenly real
izes that any harsher course would re-
ceive the prompt and indignant censure
Of civilized nations. Whatever else the
Cubans have done or failed TO do. they
have entitled themselves to recognition
as honorable belligerents rather than as
outlaws Their struggle. already cover
ing a period of more than two years,
has been uniformly characterized by a
high regard for the interests of humani-
" and the usageS Of civilized warfare.
To deal with one of their brayest and
most distinguished leaders as if he were
a common criminal would be an insult
to the spirit Of enlightened military in
StitUtions, and it is creditable to Spain
if she has resolved against any such
inhuman policy. She already has grave
accusations of cruelty and wrong 10 an
swer, and she could make no better be-
ginning in that direction than by adopt
ing a tolerant and nlagnaniInous course
toward the gallant Rivera who, helpless
from wounds, Is now prisoner in her
hands

THAT ARBITRATION TREATY.

Talk about and discussion of the ar
bitration treaty have SO far subsided
that the public is losing interest in the
matter. The treaty, as amended. will
amount to little if it ever should go
through and be ratified. The best and
most solemn of international treaties
have proved of little force when con-
fiicting with vital interests of any party
to them. especially when the party was
powerful The "plighted faith Of ma
tions" is not shown in history TO be any
thing like the inviolable thing that IL is
often supposed TO be. In small states
such treaties are frequently lived up TO
with good effects, as are contract
among individuals, but the history of
the Napoleonic and other continental
wars is largely the history Of violated
treaties.
Not one of the great European treaties
can be cited that was not broken by
one or the other of the powers as soon
as the pressure made them dare TO.
Such was the case with the treaty of
Paris, following the Crimean war. Such
has in fact been the case with the Oft
cited treaty of Berlin, now hardly
worth the papers it is written on. Eng
land in 1873 made a treaty with Turkey
guaranteeing the integrity of the Otto
man empire when she knew she could
not fulfill it. What has been her con-
duct towards Egypt? The history of
every power in Europe is history of
violated treaties.

The Eagle on Sugar Beets
Wichita. Kan. April .. IS:

Wichita, Kan, April 13, 1887.
70 the Editor of the Eagle
Dear S:r:-Yeur editorial on sugar beets
in Kansas was timely and I hope that our
farmers Will turn their attention TO the rails
ng OF such, and, as l have raised sugar
neets already, successfully, in Barton coun-
". Kansas six and nine years ago, / would
hke-to say that they DO very well here and
viii become a source Of great benefit to
those that will undertake to cultivate rhem.
My object being TO help along this. my
adopted country, I VIII gladly give all my
experience to those that want to profit by
1t and can assure them. If undertaken n .
tellisently, Il will help greatly IN upbVild-
ing this magnificent commonwealth.
Last year py brother stin residing in the
neighborhpod of Ell:nwood, Barton county
Kansas, planted several acres Of sugar
bee;s, which he shipped to Norfolk. Neb..
10 the beet sugar factory there, which pull
veriZed per cent better than the beeis
raised in the neighborhood of Norfolk. The
Norfolk people urged the farmers near El
Hnwood TO raise beets on larger scale and
the outcome is the Sugar Beet Ra.sers as
sociation OF Ellinwood. which viii plant
over 100 acres Of beets this season. more
than fifty farmers having farmed and be-
tOIiS 10 LIS IQc DctlS NA-A OS
shipped 10 Norfolk, Neb. Some OF my
ecquantances, farmers near Norfolk. made
last year from forty acres in beets s1.oN
clear profit. Don't this beat wheat and
corn raising, and IS il not worth while 10
try ii here in Kansas too? There are now
/ this country the following sugar beet
factories: The Western Beet Sugar factory
in Watsonv.lle, Cal, Mr.. Spreckels' con-
xr,- lpof ~ he
45,oe0 tons of beet sugar raised in the United
States; the China factory In San Bernardo
no county, Cal; the Grand Island and Nor
folk factories in Neb.; the Lehi factory in
Utah and the Eddy factory in New Mexico
produced together the remaining one-half
of the beet sugar made In the United States.
Now we see that this industry is already
cut of its infancy stages and the careful
reader of daily papers viii find items in all
OF them, mentioning the steps taken by
people to start factories il Missouri, Mn
nesota and elsewhere.
Could not the capitalists and farmers OF
Sedgwick county get together and investi-
gate this industry, which is bound 10 grow
here, as it has in Europe and which will
pay to the prudent investor and raiser
handsome dividends and profits, and will it
be sensible to continue to purchase abroad
10000 tons of sugar, consumed in the
United States yearly, and send this money
for such vast amount to foreign countries
when here we can raise, as rs demonstrated,
500. 100000 TONS keep the money at home
and pay it to our farmers and laborers who
need it so badly?
If these lines may induce some OF our
people to try raising beets and work for a
factory in our midst, the object the writer
has in view in penning these few lines, will
be fulfilled. Any questions asked by par
ties that feel interested in the subject of
beet culture Will be chesrfully answered.

The funeral services over the body
of Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley were
conducted at Canton, o., Tuesday af-
ternoon in the First Methodist Epis-

short Grafton, in which he dwelt upon
the character OF the beloved departed

the neighbors and friends in Canton.
The lid Of the casket was lifted and
the large congregation, as we'll as
many who had been unable to gain adj
mission TO the church, fled past to
take last look Of all that was mortal

the friends entered the carriages, and
followed by thousands, proceeded to
West Lawn cemetery, whore the body

Much talk has been started at Louis

Much talk has been started at Louis
vile among men interested in river
navigation by the discovery that the
dangers OF the Ohio Falls, in the
avoidance of which much money has
been spent every year for nearly q
century, were probably mere creations
OF the imagination. In all that time
il has been considered necessary for
every boat descending the falls to hire
a special pilot who knew just where
among the rushing waters every dan
gerous rock lay, ready to wreck any
craft unfortunate enough to touch it.
The Government improvements now
going on have laid bare the bed OF the
river at this point. and TO the surprise
of the boat owners it is revealed that
none OF the rocks about which they
have been so apprehensive exist.
Competent engineers say that any
barge or steamboat could have run the
falls in perfect safety, with no other
help than that of their regular crews.
Did the special pilots know this fact
all the timer They deny it with great
emphasis, but dark suspicious are
adoat in many minds, and at all events,
the glory-and proGts-of the falls
pilots have departed forever.
