SEE TO THE PRIMARIES.

The Eagle has never embarrassed its
party by essaying the role of boss. Only
after Republicans have registered their
choice at the primaries and in conven-
ton has it voiced the choice and defend
ed the will of the party's majority.
fractional nominations invite antagon-
isms and hence threaten defeat. If it
should be urged that FInlay Ross Vas
q fractional selection, the objection is
more than met by the fact of the una
nimity with which the suggestion of his
name was received, and the oyerwhelm-
ing petition asking him to become the
party's candidate. That petition was en-
dorsed by the Eagle we thereby simply
rejecting The act and wish of an ele-
ment in the Republican party which
cannot be ignored or run over. Ross
was, in fact, not only so endorsed by
The most solid element Of the party, bur
by a number of business men who do
not claim to be Republicans, who We're
convinced of his special fitness for the
position. SO backed and sustained, the
Eagle has no hesitancy, therefore, in
saying that any double dealing, covert
work or secret manipulation resulting
in the defeat of the majOrity's choice
thus clearly and emphatically express
ed, will prove hazardous to the success
Of the party and politically dangerous
for the men who should seek TO defeat
and thus defy an unquestioned major
fly.
Remember the primaries this after
noon and do not fail to attend them.

THE POLITICO-METER.

Ohio will prove the national podhco-
meter for the next four years. With
the president, the premier rationale and
two United States senators all high pro-
tective Republicans from this little state
of half the area of Kansas, Republican
influences Will have full sway.
For the first time in twenty eight
years Ohio has two Republican repre-
sentatiyes in the United States senate.
Invariably Republican on national is
sues, and generally so in state contests,
it has been Ohio's strange fortune that
her representation in the senate has
been uniformly divided between the
parties for nearly thirty years. Now
that both her senators are Republicans,
1t is the duty of the party to hold the
Buckeye commonwealth steadily In line
with itself and the administrat ton The
loss of a senator in that state next fall,
which can happen only through neglect
or factionsl rivalry, would be a wrong
TO the party and a political crime on the
part of those responsible for it.

ted for the prize ring than for the
ermine, but the word is disguised with
England's premier, who promised par
lament but a few weeks ago that moi
another British gun should be trained
upon Christians in defense of the abom-
Unable rule of the Turk. Later, but a
day or two ago, in reply TO question
put by a member of parliament as to
which of the powers had proposed in
November, 1895, to force the Dardan-
elles and dispose of the sultan, the Brit
ish secretary for the foreign Office made
answer only that lit was not Great
Britain What caused the concert Of
Europe suddenly 10 go to pieces, and
compelled Lord Salisbury to take back
his brave words in his famous Mansion
House speech, VIII probably remain
concealed until the secret documents
of the chancelleries shall have been
thrown open to some future historian.
The events of the autumn of 1893 have
an important bearing upon the present
situation; for if the maintenance of the
concert WAS threatened when its cause
was righteous, how much greater must
be the probability of a breakdown now
that the powers are united only in the
contemplated commission of an out
rageous wrong?

SENATORIAL COURTESY.

The thing named senatorial courtesy
may have been all right when that body
was really courteous, but since the time
when it became more turbulent and
belligerent than the bear garden at the
other end Of the capitol the abuses and
outrages committed under it have been
numerous and fragrant The vice pres
ident has long since been considered
but a figurehead as the presiding officer.
But Mr.. Hobart, vino has had much
parliamentary experience, gave notice
in his address on taking the chair that
he was there to help expedite business.
There could be no installing his mean
ing and no little CONSERVATION was
eyinced. When a measure has been
fully debated there is going TO be a
vote taken hereafter without any IN
necessary delay or week or two's ad-
ditional spouting. Realizing what is to
come, Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
has introduced resolution looking to
a revision of the rules. One of the new
rules proposed is that when measure
has been discussed for one full day any
member may demand vote, and If u
majority vote aye the vote shall be had.
The other rule proposed is when quo
rum is present the roll shall be called,
and if a quorum answer 10 their names
business shall proceed without the for
mality of a call of the senate. Hobart
Will prove equal TO his position.

Legislature Cant Suit.

Topeka. Kan, March 15.-(Special)-No
set Of corpses ever had such a tussle TO
get into the grave as this legislature The
grind has been kept up for more than ten
days now without salary and decent re-
spect for their constituents would have
required the dissolution Of both houses six
weeks ago. The people had enough and
said so before the first course was half
served, but these official reformers per-
sistently rehashed the dose till they Killed
themselves off and got the public peni-
tently sick. And now this body of corpo-
ration annihilators and state savers being
dead refuses to be buried Plunged head
first by the reaction of its own doings into
political sarcophogus, its heels still pro-
trude and, dead, ii continues the sole
habit Of its Iife-kicking. Standing on its
head in a deepening oblivion, self
labeled stink, it kicks for recognition and
further life on the theory that there were
some lobbyists in Topeka this winter who
smell bad. Reform at the end Of the first
three months OF its troubled trail needs
fumigating and the legislative corpse will
constitute itself board OF health and pro-
coed to disinfect.
The senate viii stay here till next Fri
day and as much longer as forbearance
will give leave. 1t will actively engage in
the mote pulling business as long as the
beams in its own eye don't get cross
ways.

the breath off some information he had
would scorch half the hair off civilization
and start two or three fellows toward the
penitentiary in a gallop. No adjournment
will be taken TIL next Friday, and not
then if the investigation fund holds out.

Now that the stock yards have inaugu-

they will go down to Kansas City and

equally divided. If they do there is scarce

be undertaken to head of the Kansas City

men fthe west can easily rake up enough
money to do that Kansas City is the
largest stocker and feeder market in the
world, and large per cent of the profits
of the present stock yards company comes
from the business. Now, II the cattlemen
go ahead and establish a yard and take
that business away from the yards now
established, perhaps the Boston syndicate
will see the error of its way. We believe
we can find a set of men to officer the
new company just as competent as those
that have charge of the Kansas City Stock
