Tho Eagle is not booming Senator
Plumb for tho presidency; it is too early
to undertake a boom for anybody. The

in that connection, in view of his entire

THE BIGGEST JOKE OP THE SEASON.
Marsh Mnrdock is laboring to prove
that it was his rebellion and all the rest of
the suite is laujihiuK at Marsh. It's no
use Marsh; you didn't see any farther into
it than the rest of us did and you only
make yourself ridiculous by making such
claims. Leavenworth Tinurs.
Oh, of course there was nothing in the
Rebellion. The Times and a number of
other papers at the time said there was
no Rebellion and wouldn't bo any, and
.everybody knew that the Times and
the other papers were right and the
Eagle' wrong. The late little flurry by
which Kansas, Kansas, begotten of
heroes and sprinkled with the martyr
blood of John Brown lost five Republi
can congressmen was no Rebellion, not
so much as an insurrectionary kick. The
Eagle was only jesting and didn't sec
any more than the Times, which
admits its blindness. Ingalls' threatened
defeat comes only of a playful
idiosyncrasy of the people and the defeat
of tho prohibition attorney general and
attorney generaless by thirty or forty
thousand can hardly be dignified by tho
name of a mild protest, much less a Re
bellion. You are mistaken. We have
not been laboring to prove that there
was a Rebellion, or that wo ever said
that one was impending. We were only
jesting talking, to hear t.ie boys talk
back. The first thing that the Alliance
house will do after organization will be
to pass a resolution unanimously re
affirming their faith in tho Id crowd,
the old ring, and in the Republican party
as redeemed and purified by prohibition.
We can hear tho storm ot the applause
now, and see the roof of the state house
gently rising and sailing away
over about fifty Kansas counties where
Democrats will rule and reign for the
next two years or more because there
was no Rebellion.
Oh, no, there was no Rebellion and we
never said that there was, nor ever
prophesied that there would be, the only
indication of a Rebellion anywhere this
fall being about ten days before tho
final round-up when Anthony took
down tho name of Humphrey which
everybody knew wouldn't amount to
anything, and it didn't, unless tho fact
that Humphrey got a few dozen more
votes in Leavenworth than was expected
at that time, amounts to something, and
wo are not the man to say that it did.
That "all tho state arc laughing at
Marsh Murdock" but proves that every
body appreciates the joke. Attorney
Generaless Kellogg wouldn't be guilty of
guffawing right out, it wouldn't bo
ladylike, but tho way her husband and
Harrison Kelley, Wm. A. Phillips,
Judge Perkins, Webb McNall. Colonel
Hallowell and about two hundred other
defeated Republican candidates in tho
various counties of tho state are splitting
tliQir sides and breaking wide open with
hilarity over the joko of tho season is
hardly less than a visible joke itself.
It is the jokiest time we ever experi
enced. Tho air is full of snickers,
smiles and exultations. Everybody
seems to bo on it bigger than
a grinning Cheshire cat. Billy
Buchau is chuckling over tho clear field
left for Ingalls; Barney Kelly is tittering
to cackle over the funeral of the Resub
missionists, and Joe Hudson's jubilee of
merry making is little short of tho
cachination of aPercheron stallion. And
so they all go chirruping and caroling,
hugging and hurrahing over the picnics
and parsetemps of the waning year.
Oh, of course, Murdock's Rebellion
was tho biggest joke of tho season, ex
ceeded by no other than the fact thatt
should bo taken as a joke, which we ac
knowledge it to have been.
HUDSON'S MILK AND WHISKEY.
The Capital attempts to overthrow the
Eagle's figures on tho result of the elec
tion, still holding that the Resubmission
ists made no showing. Well, that Capi
tat fellow is a queer genius. However,
we suppose he will admit that the regu
lar nominee for attorney general of the
Prohibition party did withdraw in Kel
logg's favor and that the entire prohibi
tion vote, therefore, went solid for Kel
logg, in spito of all of which Kellogg was
defeated; and that ho was the only man
on tho Republican ticket who' was defeat
ed. It is a further fact, susceptible of
proof, that the radical prohibitionists of
tho Alliance party in townships through
out southern Kansas scratched Ives and
voted for Kellogg, which would seem to
indicate that tho lines were closel v drawn
as between Ives for Resubmission
and Kellogg against resubmission.
Without question, however, Robinson's
vote was solid for resubmission, and at
least half of the Willits' vote, while ev
erybody knows that a large per cent of
the Humphrey vote were, and are toda-,
for resubmission, including a majority of
its representative officials and politicians,
who are for prohibition for revenue only.
Wo will come closer home to Maj. Hud
son than that even by saying that we
don't believe that there can be found a
half dozen, and probably not a single of
ficial, from the top of the dome to the
engine room of thnt state capital, who is
a practical prohibitionits, save and ex
cept Mr. and Mxs. Attorney Generals
Kellogg. How much more moral it is to
drink Missouri whisky than to drink
Kansas whisky we leave it to the unique
major himself, who is nevertheless, kind
ly and sincerely informed that
the sooner the Republican party agrees
to resubmit the more there will be of tho
Republican party.
If the major and his coadjutors are in
for a fight for a principle, without any
reference to party results, thon he and
they are bowling ahead on the right
track: but we beg leave to suggest that
they let up on their Republican teats to
which, amid all their frantic demonstra
tions, thy cling so tenaciously as to
arouse the suspicion that the milk of
said teats is largely accelerated in its
flow by feeding the old cow on well agi
tated whisky slops.
A PULPIT PULSE FEELER.
A Minneajwlis minister 1ms adopted a
custom of sending a circular to his par
ishioners asking opinions on his dis
courses and inviting suggestions for
subjects to preach about. An exchange,
in an extended review of the matter,
commends the parson for his novel ex
pedient, holding that two pm-poses, at
least, are accomplished. It advertises
the pastor and. his church continually,
and thus prompts attendance. This,
certainly, is "business." Again, if
responses are returned from only a few,
soma judicious criticisms, valuable to
the minister, Avould be recoived, perhaps
correcting style, method and manner,
and otherwise furnishing data for his
culture and improvement, together with
ideas of the kind of preaching needed by
the people.
But there are two sides to the case.
The danger is that such a flood of criti
cism and suggestion will pour in upon
the rash reverend that he will be borne
down and swept away by its weight. If
he does not follow the ideas as expressed
by the individual members of his flock,
each one neglected will be offended. If
he does try to follow them he is, indeed,
lost. It is dollars to doughnuts that a
certain talented Minneapolis minister
will be looking for a job somewhere else
in less than a year. His grave is dug,
and he handled the spade himself.
A JOURNALISTIC EVENT.
The consolidation of the Memphis Ap
peal and Memphis Avalanche consum
ated last week, is an event in southern
journalistic circles. The first named
paper had been in existence for half a
century, and the paper which bought it
had been in existence for thirty-five
years. Whether the Appeal-Avalanche
has the circulation claimed, namely,
17,000 daily and 7u,000 weekly, may be
doubted, but in all probability, it has a
daily and weekly circulation now in
ferior only in the south to the two dail
ies of New Orleans, and Henri Watter
son's paper, the Courier-Journal.
Memphis now has two morning dailies,
as has New Orleans, Charleston, Atlanta
and Richmond, but these aro probably
the only five southern cities that can as
yet support two metropolitan journals.
Memphis has for a year enjoyed the de
stiuctioii of publishing three, but the two
now in existence, are better representa
tives of what papers should be thau the
three were before.
Tho Fort Scott Monitor is disgruntled
because the legislative amendment to the
constitution failed to carry at the last
election. It complains that the reason
more is not accomplished by the legisla
ture is because the session is too short.
It would undoubtedly have been better
for the Republican party if the last ses
sion had been but half as long as it was.
Fifty days is long enough to undo much
that was done in that length of time,
and if the majority of the lower house
live up to their instructions that will be
the first and most important work of tho
session. And we might add that there
is not much danger of their going too
far with it, either.
Mr. W..rd McAllister, the man who
kindly consented to tell about society as
he found it, or as ho has made it, since
there was no "Four Hundred" until bis
debut, says that it is a surprise to him
"that in this city our cleverest men and
politicians do not oftener seek society
and become its brilliant ornaments."
The only explanation of this remarkable
fact is, that these men had read some
book on society as it is, which had as
much sense in it as McAllister's, and be
ing clever, saw that they could not aspire
to social success as therein pictured.
The Indian Messiah who predicts that
his race will again occupy tho earth,

THE
KANSAS SILK INDUSTRY AND
THE MCKINLEY BILL.
To the Editor of the Eastc
Notwithstanding the American people
have paid by tariff protection over two
hundred millions to build up the silk
mills of the country, tho McKinley bill
continues the enormous duty of fifty per
cent, on manufactured silk goods.
Through tho influence of our worthy
representative, S. R. Peters, tho ways
and means committee who had charge
of the tariff bill, was induced to give us
a bounty on raw and reeled silk, but tho
manufacturers came from Patterson, N.
J., and had it removed. When tho bill
appeared in the senate our able senator,
P. B. Plumb, caused it to be again in
serted, but was lost when it camo to
final vote. The importation of silk goods
this year will exceed thirty-six millions
on which there is a 50 per cent duty,
of which one-third or twelve million
dollars, which the manufacturer gets the
benefit of these hard times, while the
producer gets nothing, as the raw silk
is admitted free. So is the silk admitted
free in a partia lmanufactured condition,
in its reeled state, whiHi ought to be
pretected as well as its subsequent man
ufacture into goods. The importation
of free silk this year will exceed twenty-
lour minions, louneen millions ot wnicn
is for reeling and ten millidns the valuo
of the raw cocoons.
The people of Kansas wish to know
why the manufacturer should be pro
tected twelve million dollars worth and
the grower and reeler of silk nothing.
Why should wo pay 3o cents on the
dollar indirectly to the manufacturer
on every dollar's worth of silk we buy,
and get nothing for that wo produce?
It is claimed the rich pay the cost of pro
tection because they can best afford the
luxury. But it is not made a luxury by
the 50 per cent tariff, aud wo aro not
deprived of it by that per cent, and as
the producer supports the rich, do we
not indirectly pay for their indulgence?
I see no reason why these conditions of
affairs should not lo modified or
changed. There is no qu stion but that
we can grow superior bilk and reel it,
and that this country should produce
the raw material manufactured here, I
am satisfied if the it.dustry was properly
developed in Kansas we could grow
cocoons for 2o cents a pound, the price
paid in China, and produce a superior
article, which ousht to satisfy the man
ufacturers and gratify the people.

Cleveland was not in it. that his sym
pathies were against the Democrats in

will probablv 1h the Democratic nomi

Kansas went through the successive

KANSAS FARMERS.
From tho Atchison Champion.
Tho farmers of the eastern two-thirds
of Kansas are in better shape financially
today than they ever were. This is not
an exaggeration, but a fact of easy veri
fication. They owe, as a class, compar
atively little or nothing to the banks.
Their apple crop alono enabled them to
pay off ail their floating indebtedness
with a sufficient surplus for taxes and for
the payment of any mortgage indebted
ness, which, in this section, is small.
Their wheat crop, although not quite up
to the averago, was still a good one, and
at the ruling prices netted them moro
than any one of the big wheat crops ever
raised in the state. The same thing is
true of their corn crop. Their hay crop
was splendid, their dairy products, their
live stock, cattle and hogs, their poultry
and eggs, all helped to swell tho total re
ceipts of 1890 way above the averago of
their most prosperous years, so that from
this side of their condition the farmers of
tho eastern two-thirds of Kansas have
every reason to feel grateful and satisfied.
Of course, from now on, because of
tho McKinley law, they will be forced to
Eay a higher price for whatever they
uy than they have been paying, still
they are in better shapoto enduro 6uch
an imposition than they ever were be
fore. This tariff business aside, in no
stat1 in tho American Union can there
be found a more prosperous class of
farmers than those of the eastern two-
thirds of Kansas. Tho Champion does
not wish to bo understood by this as say
ing that even these fortunate ones have
no burdens, that they aro not seriously
affected by the McKinley law and other
unjust legislative enactments, but what
it means is, that they aro better off than
other equal numbers of their cla&j in
this country. All this goes to show
what glorious possibilities lonfront
those who have sense enough to locate
in Kansas.
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
From the Globe-Democrat.
There is no cause for alarm regarding
tho financial situation. Tho only ele
ment of danger which has seriously
threatened the stability of things has
manifested itself from the other sido of
tho Atlantic But the outlook in that
quarter has ceased to be grave. Tho col
lapse of the great banking institution of
the Baring Brothers which appeared to
be impending has been averted, and the
peril which menaced the business world
from that source has been removed. In
this exigency the interest of one financial
house is the interest of all. For this rea
son the Bank of France, in the early part
of last week, came to the relief of the
Bank of England, and at the close of the
week the latter institution did a similar
service for the Barings. Gold is pouring
into London rapidly, with the prospect
that a day or two hence all danger of fur
ther serious disturbances will be over. In
New York tho clearing house officials
are exercising nn intelligent supervision
over the condition of the bank?, and they
have displayed a sagacity, fertility of re
sources and'promptness in action which
have made them masters of the situation.
So far as regards the condition and
prospects of the banks through the coun
try, there is nothing in the outlook which
need cause any apprehension. As was
the case in ISSi. this is merely a disturb
ance in stock values. The derangement
and depression are not likely to be felt J
far beyond the arena of the Stock Ex
change. For the rime being dealtncs in
! railway shares nil' be attended with con
siderable risk, although an advance
along the whole line in the near future
is inevitable. But whether the depression
be long or short, the stability of the bank
as a wlole will not be affected. This
was the experience m li4, when the sit
uation, so far as concerns the stock mar
kot, was much like that which prevails
at preheat. The bank-, Iiowever, are in
better condition than they were in then.
As compared with that time, their re
Berves are greater, thsir atlairs are being
conducted with more conservatism and
intelligence, and they have had a longer
period in which to prepare for any strain
which could present itself. Let the pub
lic be calm. The banks of the country
were never stronger than they are at
this moment, and there is nothing in
sight or in prospect -which conld threaten
their solidity or offer a serious menace
to general business.
