PITTINGER One reason John Waller is in snch high dudgeon is because he is in a low dungeon. - It is said that the Populists will issue a manifesto soon. Terhaps, an ex party statement Senator Brice is prepared to prove that his barrel is eligible to a seat in the United States senate. Ben Harrison may not conclude to come down off the fence. He may leave the fence on stilts. "While they are monkeying with the weather officials in Washington we are getting several fine rains. The bicycle has now reached the point where pedestrians will do well to tie fendrs onto themselves. This country is to have a new weather fore-caster. Tresident Cleve land will shy him into the ring. The IcKinley boom Is still suffering from a wildly nervous fad to rush about in order to get somewhere else. "What poem did Coleridge write?' asked the Kansas teacher. And the class yelled: "The Ancient Irrigator." The latest style of woman's hat, nurses the belief that, like time and space, the idiocy of fashion has no end. Fairy Wood, a Wichita horse, took off $3,000 at Minneapolis. But then nobody doubted but that Fairy Wood. Among the farmers Jerry Simpson is still known as a great politiican, and among the politicians as a great farmer. Jt is 119 years today since we cast off the British yoke, and about twenty two years since 1S73 when wo put it on again. The Democratic version of parlia mentary law appears to be "Put none but postmasters on the committee of resolutions.' "Resolved, that .we re-offirm our de votion to the principles of Democracy as expounded by, Jefferson and Jackson."- Oh rats! Extract from Kansas fairy tale: "The good giant spoke kindly to the farmer, and, reaching tip and plucking an ear of corn, said, etc."- Two city marshals have been killed in Oklahoma within tho week. They were both bravo men and the people of the town honor them. After reading Corbett's love-letters! the readers of the Eagle will see that Ella Wheeler Wilcox has not been de throned by a good deal. After a desperate fight the Oklahoma fisherman who declared that he used mice for bait for cat-fish was removed from active business life. If the rain keeps on the navies of the world can easily participate in the opening of some of the irrigating ditches in western Kansas. Today wo celebrate Liberty, but re member that ctcmal vigilance is the price of it :md keep your eye on the small boy with tho "giant." Today the Prohibitionists at Topcka unbuckle their mouths and bite the climate, resolve, adjourn and then go down to Kansas City and till up. The Oregon train robbers got sev eral leaden bullets. They reposed in the bosom of one of the passengcrs's revolver which the bandits look. Although many Indians will take part in Oklahoma celebrations today, they are not permitted to vote yet or to -get drunk on the Fourth of July. There are two reasons why Prohi bition cannot be nforced: Firstly, bitiou cannot be enforced: Firstl Secondly. Well, firstly's ctsuugh. How can the world blame a common statesman like Breckinridge when men of the prominence and dignity and men tal calibre of Pugilist Corbet t fall? A Chicago judge has decided that the bicycle is a vehicle, and those people who thought it was an instrument for milking cows will now see their mis take. The mistress of Jim Corbett called him "her big Indian." Mr. Corbett. be it remembered, is one of tlfose young men who do not smoke, swear nor drink. The Atchison idea of boycotting the minsters will hardly work. Too many people get pleasure out of dropping buttons iu the contribution box, to give it up.

As soon as Russia gets an open port on the raciuc, the czar no doubt will see the necessity of taking possession of the rest of tho world In order to pro tect the port Rosebery says: "Place without power Is purgatory, if not hell."

A large number of Texans who con templated attending the Dallas fight will bo pained to learn that It is not tipulated that one or the other of the two fighters must die. LIBERTY OR DEATH. This is Liberty Day. The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance. Keep your eye on the Bank of England. It it intrenched on the Thames and its biggest guns are trained on the people of these United States. The crown of its empress having failed with pow der and lead to conquer us with an army dispatched in fleets of the long ago, now seeks to subdue by that power with which she holds in subjection a chain of lands that encircle the world. What it cannot capture by the force of arms it buys with gold. The Bank of England, which means the British government, commands an army which in being ever silent never sleeps, ex cept by continental divisions. Irs garrisons and squadrons are cvery whre; its flying flotillas are upon every sea, its platoons and legions are under every sun where there are banks or commerce or industrial life. Its co horts menace and lays tribute on the millions of India, on the children of Africa and on the plodding survivors of the historic Nile, alike. The newest continent to civilization, Australia, be longs to its crown, and half of our own fair continent composes but a Dominion of Provinces which she rules. It is a grasping power that knows no Orient, no Occident, only gold, gold and the profit of th labor of every land. John Adams with his dying words breathed the sentiments of the signers of th Declaration of Independence, the heroes of Valley Forge and Bunker Hill, and of the -patriots who drafted the constitution, as well as prophet ically voiced the convictions of the patriots of today in: "Independence 2'ow and Independence Forever." So as Old Glory floats over you to day keep you eye on the Bank of Eng land. Though intrenched along the banks of the Thames its emmissaries and engineers, its sappers and miners are everywhere, wherever there is a dollar to nip or a coupon to clip. Its heaviest battery, outside of its Lom bard intrenehment, London, is Wall street, New York, within which for fended bulwark, supported right and left, rear and front by corporation companies, monopoly-divisions and bank-reserves, it in ceaselessly pound ing congresses and courts, dismantling home and cot, levies tribute upon every farm and shop, and grows drunk on the sweat of honest toil. Remember Thomas Jefferson, as he stood up in Independence Hall readnig the immortal instrument of this Day wo celebrate, and Francis Key and the Star Spangled Banner, and ho who sang "My Country 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty," and Yorktown and the National Capital as It was under British fire and in ashes, in 1S12 and all their concurrent victories, but keep your cyo on the Bank of Eng land which in owning all our things and men and money may not own us also. CONFESS-NOW IS THE TIME. Has an era of confession struck us? Is truth rising again? Nationally our life has become false. In the halls of the Temple of Injustice, on the stone floors of the deepest dungeons thereof, the Princess Good, the Prince True and the Heir Aparent Beautiful, lie pros trate. And ever anon, with prodig ious noise King Fake, usurper and ty rant, strolls in and sets his pegged heel on tho neck of the fallen trio. We have all felt sympathy for Prin cess Good, Prince True and Heir Ap parent Beautiful, but King Fake has cowed us. smothering every good motive within us by a tremendous and obstrep erous show of widespread power. But truth in its mightiness will pre vail. The Princess Good and the Prince True and the neir Apparent Beautiful are not jumping to their feet and swiping King Fake between the eyes. But they are getting up. And King Fake's helping them to their feet. King Fane has suffered a twinge in his consience. He is repenting and confessing. A week ago an Arkansas City min ister publicly confesses his guilt. Less than a week ago Melbourne, the rain maker, came out and acknowledged that he was a humbug. Not many days ago a young editor in Kansas confessed that he was sore, and that he was sore because he wanted office and did not get it The fact that it is not significant is as worthless as skates on the Fourth of July iu Africa. This fact is signifi cant If truth is niichty and will pre vail the only channel of recovery open to it is through the confession of fraud and guilt If the fever spreads the country may witness an extraordinary series of con fession. In literature the Browning clubs come forward aud, in humble sup pllance. confess that Brownlnc never wrote any poetry; that his -greatest works, which they have professed to admire for years, are nothing but wads of minced dictionary. Nordau, the author who blames the whole world with degeneration, will come out and acknowledge that he wrote the charge of degeneration against the other writers in order to make money him self, and consequently is the most de generated of the lor. In art the Beardsleyisis will acknowl ege that they do not admire Beardsley's dra wings. They will confess that ihoc frightful contortions, with a name under them, are images transferred from a mind that miscued in early youth, and superinduced at a later period 61 life by the deleriuni tremens. In music the Wagner lunatics will tramp up lo the bar of public opinion and confess that they see nothing ! Wagner to admire or reverence; that his niiifcic is not music u a'l. war. not intende for music; will never be music, and that it was the output of a spav ined variety of blind-staggers insanity. Also will come the Paderewski cranks and confess that Pad. cannot play the piano at all that he simply hits the keys at random and applause does the rest In the business world we will see a long procession ready to ease their guilty souls. Among them will be the merchant who sells goods at less than cost; the gentleman who has a fire sale every time the floor-walker steps on a match; the typewriter manufacturers who announce daily that there is only one durable typewriter on the market; the circulating liars of the newspapers; the baking powder men; also the "only and best" makers of yeast; also "from measles to consumption" patent medi cine men; and the "gum good for the digestion" testimonial writer. And after most all the world has been forward, the way will be cleared and a dead silence will fall and with a low, lugburious tone the spectators will be asked to stand back and make room for thp politicians. They will all be there; the men who have made false promises; the men who have betrayed friends; the men who have docked fcubordinates; the men who have charg ed double mileage; the men who have sold their votes; the men who have sold themselves; the men who have sold their constituents, and the men in Washington who have sold the na tion. And across the ocean tho Rothschilds will confess their long reign of grind ing, grasping, griping greed, aud, with Knv-bung head and penitent humility, throw their vast possessions Into the sea but, no, that is going a little bit too far. THE ILLEGITIMATE WAIF. Travel seems to have broadened the views and enlarged the heart of Miss Francis Willard. Her concep tions of God seem to have, grown apace and the chances of His children, in her estimation, to have improved. Her declaration is true that the time when It was held that intemperance was the cause of poverty had completed its circuit and now it is known that much of the intemperance of the present is caused by poverty. "In the slums they drink to forget," said Miss Williard in her London address. But Miss Williard in true courage rose superior to her sex and to half of the men of the world, when in speaking of the wrongs of woman and the proscribed child, she asserted that "another phrase that we must chase out of tho dictionary of common speech with a scourge of small cords is the phrase 'an illegitimate child.' No such child was ever born. Every child that has appeader on this sphere came here in the direct line of those natural laws which are laws of God, and are perfectly legitimate. I even dare to hope that the mother of one of these poor little waifs, as Ave are wont to call them, is made in some sacred sense 'legitimate by the awful sacrament of pain and shame that she endures. The only illegitimate factor in tho problem is the father, who braves neither physical suffering nor legal penalty, who is pillowed in peace and comfort while hhe, who by the laws of nature and God should, in this hour of her Immeasurable need, have been surrounded by his love and sentineled by his protection, is left in the night of her agony, with no eye to pity, and no arm to save." THE FARMER'S EAR FOR A MINUTE. Secretary Morton of the department of agriculture, wrote to Clerk Grant of Norton county, for the condition of crops in that section. If this report had been sent, it would have become part of a vast report the government publishes relative to the exact condi tion of the agricultural products of the country. This table is compiled and publbhed. It has a great deal to do with the fluctuation of prices on the boards of trade in the country. The corn crop iu Kansas looks very fine. An estimate of the likely yield, to be commensurate with the average Kan san's expectation, would cause the price of corn on th Chicago Board of Trade to drop like a fat man out of a third-story window. Mr. Grant refused to send an esti mate. H Informed Secretary Morton that he was not in favor of the skinnod giving further information to the skin ners, to be used in further skinning the skinned. From this it will be seen that he Kan sas farming community is fast rising to a high diplomatic plane. Aud If there is diplomacy in international gov ernment why not diplomacy between the nation of farmers and the nation of grain gamblers? When it becomes necessary for the Chicago Beard of Trade to have figures on the growing crops, let them send out a legation to the state of which figures are required. Let them wear gold cord and embroidered breeches. On the other side let the fanners ap point a diplomatic commission. The farmers should ri? themselves up in scarlet vests and stick a rooster feather or two in their hats and meet the lega tion from the Board of Trade. Evry thiuc should he carried on with tho greatest dignity. The French lan guage ihould be used exclusively in the conference. The French lanuuago is the diplomatic language of the world and serves the purpose of allowing both slides to lie to the other fellows without blushing outright The Kan sas farmer will find that he can say that he will raise only five bushels of corn to the icre, and, by using the French language, never feel the least guilt After several very dicnifid speeches have been made on both sides, the con ference should then adjourn for three months. All this time the srovernnient should be paying the expenses of the whole business, with a lot of clerks to boot After three months, the diplo matic conference should resume. It, needn't do anything at all but smoke cigars and look like something was weighing on its mind. It should also be careful to presreve great seerecy. The newspapers will break their necks to find out what the diplomatic confer ence has done. But as it litis done nothing at all the newspapers will find out nothing. After a two day's session the diplo matic conference should then adjourn. By this time the nation will be shocked by the sensational news that the Board of Trade has sent out a body of spies to count the corn stalks at night This will prove to be the case. They will find an immense corn crop in Kansas. Tho price of corn will slump. The diplomatic incident will then close. The farmers will demand an indemnity from the Board of Trade because the information was not secured through the French language and diplomatic channels. That is the way the nations of the world deal with one another, and the evil has begun to creep into our private national affairs. One American be lieves in silver, and another in gold. They are asked to settle the matter by a diplomatic international conference. Why not settle our crop statistics the same way? BOUND TO BE HEARD. The publisher, or some one else, per sists in sending us marked copies of the New York Voice. The marked articles, as a rule, prtain to Kansas and seldom fail of being bold-faced lies. As Rev Milner and other Prohibitionists only lest week denounced the Voice we have no farther or possible Interest In it and we hope no more postage will be wasted on us. If there Is a rum soaked city in America more pre-eminent for its Bacchanalian life than an other, ic is the home of this same howl ing Voice, whose proprietors seem to play the gudgeeons of real temperance states for support. The Voice is a great paper in the eyes of Its ad mirers, no doubt The name of the head of the firm Is Funk, his front name presumably being Peter. However that may be that paper eternally harps the one thing. In its last issue the declaration is made that Vassar college was founded on the proceeds of a brewery. There is nothing good any where outside of New York, iu the estimation of the Voice, which winds up an editorial on Kansas prohibition by asserting that the only hope of suc cess is in a national anti-saloon party. This spurt was evidently made while its editor for the moment forgot his neighbor Grover C. and his big national deficit, In spite of the millions of rev enue from the whiskey traffic. THE PEST IN POLITICS. If anybody in this world is of less use than the cock-roach or the house fly in domestic economy it is the advo cato of isms iu politics. By advocate we mean tho leader or agitator who constitutes himself the representative of some so-called reform or fako to which he gives a political twist and then proceeds to harangue the public wherever he can get an audience. His reform is often as foreign to politics as to the truth, but he never fails to tack it on to the campaign at vote-getting time. Singularly enough too, he is always a candidate. His promotion, he holds, is indispensable to the suc cessful working of his scheme for regu lating the order of things. He blows for reform, aud strikes for himself, and sometimes carries off a prize. Of course, ho is unfitted for public ser vice, and, sooner or later his fake flat tens out, but what cares he? He is an ex-judgo or ex-governor or a brevet ed simpleton with some civic title to which he is no more entitled than a street beggar. He is the tramp in pol itics, a menace to good morals and a constant disturber of the peace of so ciety. He, or rather she, is the crow ing hen who would rather be heard in public than to be loved and honored in the sweet domestic relation. He is the strutting, cackling bantam rooster who, with much display, scratches for wonus only to fill his own gizzard. ne is neither ornamental nor useful, and altogether too small for a respect able political pot-pie, hence the pest in politics, so like the fly and the cock roach in the household. He descends sometimes from the useful avocations, but for the most part he is, or has been, a briefless lawyer, or a preacher with personal aspirations out of proportion to his love of sinners. Who does not recognize him in the band of agitators now harangueing tho public at every cross-roads? The observer of events knows th at reforms in government are not born in a day. Neither arc they invented or promulgated by individual effort They come mther as the sequence of popular demand. They are tho outgrowth of sentiment which no man can change. For all practical purposes a simple di vision of sentiment on all questions is suffiient A pro and a con represents the right or the wrong, according to the view taken or tho interests involved. There were radical differences on the merits of slavery in this country. There were those who believed in It upon ethical and moral grounds. They taught it, they fought for it and died for it but public sentiment had sealed Its fate in advance. Neither the chivalry, the wealth nor the prestige of the south could stand against it. The edict had gone forth and slavery died at tho hands of the indignant ma jority. This majority constituted a great national party. The minority represented another. The masses remain divided today on all popular Issues. Within the two leading ianjes there is room for every voter to make a choice. There is no call for fads or fakes. There is no demand for the blatant reformer out of a job, and seeking his own promo tion. IN A HOLS. Joe Cannon of Illinois, has become, la his eonzresslonsl career, a man of national reputation. He-Is Inclined to conservatism or would be considered a conservative Republican in Kana. but he Is emphatic and radical enough on questions that rise above party While in Washington the other day. he outlined, in an Interview, his Idea of the situation. -The Republican," he said, "have got the house, the Popu lists have the balance of power in the senate, and Grover Cleveland Is in the White House- How, in heaven's name, can anything be done in the next con gress, except to pass appropriation bills?" The only addition which can be sugegsted to this platform in order to make it ideally perfect is that the appropriation bills should appropriate as little as possible. Between the tariff agitation and a shortage on cur rency the country has been prostrated in business, in Improvements and In every conceivable enterprise, for some time, but as Joe Cannon puts It things are inevitably tied up and in a hole. Judge Miller of the District of Col umbia, has spoiled his chances for honorary mmbership in the Advanced Woman's club. Recently a man was brought before this staid dispenser of justice, accused of having "spanked" his wife. He had returned from work to find no dinner and no wife, the latter having gone to a temperance meeting. This circumstance filled the hungry husband with a jag of wrath and a row and a blow followed. The solemn old judge, after hearing the evidence, delivered himslf thus: "Take this man's personal bonds, and you, woman, go home, and temperance meetings or no temperance meetings, have your husband's dinner ready when he wants it" The editor of the Topeka Capital seems to have become interested In the Eagle. His admission that he finds its short editorial paragraphs not only passable but excelling, should encourage him to renewed efforts for the mastery of its more pretentious productions, which he will find a mine of wealth and wisdom for him who iu reading shall maintain a comprehen sive grasp. The financial question is a perplexing one, for which reason lead ing editors should seek all to thorough ly comprehend it We wonder what has become of the $32,000,000 of gold which tho Shylock syndicate was to import from Europe in the notorious bond deal? The syn dicate has brought in altogether less than 13,000,000 of gold up to date, and It is reported that it has squared all its accounts with the treasury depart ment The country would like to hear from Secretary Carlisle on this subject at his earliest convnience. Mrs. Ida Buxton Cale, prominent among suffrage speakers, says: "We read in the Bible that after tho Israel ites were all worn out with wrangling and dissensions God gave them a woman Deborah to judge them; she ruled over them for forty years, and we read that 'then they had a rest' " County Clerk Grant of Norton county, Kansas, refused to give up farming statistics. Mr. Grant holds that the farming business should be kept secret and besides he has no use for the pres ent Democratic administration, any way. In this state McKinley said: "I am proud of Kansas." In Illinois he said: "I am proud of Illinois." In Indiana he varies the remark. It would be in teresting to know how he would start off a speech in Texas. Origin or Itrico's Wealth. "It was in Governor Foster's time as chief magistrate of Ohio when Brice, then a poor, hard-up lawyer, managed to get into Foster's debt to the extent of about ?2,0CO. One day Brice came to Fos ter and told him the Jaw business didn't pay, and asked him to appoint him to a position where he might make a living. " 'Can't,' said Foster. You're a Demo crat " 'But you'll never get your $2,009, ' said Brice. 'You mitfht as well ask me to make a star as to mako that $2,000 with my law practice.' " TH tell you what I'll do,' said Fos ter. 'I am all tangled up with Hocking Valley on tho Xw York Stock Exchans and I want somebody to go there and look after th!ng3. I'll send you If you'll CO.' "Brice Jumped at the chance. Foster gave him C00 and a lot o directions, and impressed upon him solemly the necessity of doing Just what he was told. Now, Brice will not do what he's told, and never would. If Brice had been a waiter ho would have taken your order and then brought you anything he pleased. He would have used his Judgment. That's what ho did with Foster's Hocking Valley deal, but ho made M0.W0 profit, whereas If he had done as Foster told him ho would have lost all. Foster was de lighted, and, like the good old man In the story book, he gave the young hero X3, 0O Then Brlco went back to Wall street and plunged. "Brlce's greatest play was building the Nickel Plate. He put in e-cry dollar he could get, and from any source. There came a time, too, when to save himself from utter ruin. If not something worse, ho had to sell. He went to Vanderbllt, whose road the Nickel Plato paralleled. Vanderbllt wouldn't buy the Nickel Plate. He said he could afford to wait the first mortgage foreclosure and buy It from a sheriff. " 'If you don't buy it, Jay Gould will said Brice. " 'Oh. no. he won't.' said Vanderbllt. "Bnco then went to Gould. He knew that he didn't want the Nickel Plate, but he had a beautiful scheme to propose. He knew Vanderbllt would buy the road before he -would allow Gould to get It Here came Brlce's strategy. Ho told Gould that If he would sit silent and not contradict, neither aillrm nor deny, any newspaper articles to the effect that he was going to buy the NIckle Plate, and after this clam-Uke silence had continued for a. week, if bo would then ride slowly over tho Nickel Plate In an observation car, Vanderbllt would buy the road and he would give Gould X0. "Gould din't care for the JT0o.&'A bat he was a Jocose speculator, and it struck him that tho whole thing vould b a majestic Joke on VanderbJt. The papers said that Gould was goln to buy the Nickel Plate. Gould, wh'a questioned, looked wise. At the end of a week he meandered, snail-like, over the Nickel Plate in the rear end of an observation car. and had all the a.r (fa man who wan looking at a piece of property, Stories were wired about Gould's trip from every water tank and way station akBC the line, and before Goui bad rearbed CbJa. go. Vanderbllt, In a fit of hysteric, wired Brie that be would tak the Nickel Pixie. Vanderbllt took the iflcJcel II ale and Bnee wa saved." A Toivtot AnMtlntr.
