Topeka is inclined lo kick because the Rock Island don't seem inclined to locate their machine shops at that point. As Topeka never did anything to induce the Rock Island to break away from the Missouri river and its pool and as the Rock Island originally did not even con template running its main line through Topeka, there is no little gall in such a kick. Topeka has already the largest shops and the largest single railway inter est located at that point, and as Topeka is a political and boarding house center rather than a commercial or manufacturing cen tre, wc suggest that her people permit the Chicago and Rock Island to consult their own interests and inclinations in this mat ter of the location of its shops. The truth is Mr. Low has a mind of his own and his authority for the Chicago and Rock Island extension in Kansas is absolute and unlim ited. He has purchased, for the company, over one Tiundred thousand dollars worth of real estate in "Wichita, and our people have never bored him about the shop ques tionnot even asked him for anything more than the road itself. Atchison used to be called "hog town," but she is no longer worthy to be called such in view of Topeka s action. TOO THIN. For Jutlge- For Probate Judge E. B. JEWETT. For Clerk of District Court A.

Local committees are requested to make all neces sary arrangcinents for ail these meltings. Posters furnished by this committee. By order of the central committee, P. 1. BOSEBRAKE, HENRY BRANDLEY. Chairman. Secretary. In case they decide not to hang Geroni mo, Secretary Bayard might make an opening for him in toe consular service. Away down in Maine they are trying to prove that St. John took pay from both sides dueing the late political campaign in that state. . ThcElDorado Republican very truth fully observes that "the Wichita Agricul tural horse trot is a success, the fastest nag making a mile in .J:31 1-2." Mr. Bayard thinks it a difficult thing to secure good men as consuls. His opinion is not surprising if he means to confine his search to the Democracy. Tiie Capital says that Attorney General Bradford "returned from Leavenworth yes terday morning convinced that the saloons 01 Leavenworth would not ue closed as long as they were in cahoot with the city government and were paying the city a stipulated license ever' month." Mr. Cap ital and Mr. Bradford, that is entirely too thin. Leavenworth, as a municipality, nor as a corporation, can be superior to the laws of the state of Kansas. There if no law against the Democratic party hold ing ther state conventions in Leavenworth for the purpose of passing resolutions in favor of the saloon and setting up whisky bottles as candidates, but when the attorney gencr.il of the state of Kansas says that i the state of Kansas can't lise superior lo the whiskey mayor and council, and the licensed dives and saloons, of Leaven worth, the matter becomes too serious to be viewed longer sis a joke. "Wichita was licensing some thirty to fifty saloons and collecting many thousands of dollars reve nue from them, and the citj1- administration was Democratic and in full sympathy with the open saloon and dead set on collecting the license, but the constitution and state law were enforced and every open sa loon closed. Wichita has no doubt as many people as has Leavenworth, not so many drinkers nor so many Demo crats, perhaps, but a yood deal more life and general "git up and git." ret the law has been enforced here, our ofiicers going so far as even to prosecute responsible busi ness men who as druggists were not com plying as strictly to the letter and spirit of the law as the ofiicers thought the' ought. Mr.Bradf ord can close the saloons of Leaven worth otherwise the saloon keepers and their friends in Leavenworth arc greater than the state. "WOMEN FOR WICHITA. Walter Vrooman, the 17-j ear-old labor agitator, has been declared a nuisance by the Kansas City police, and notified that his haranguea will no longer be tolerated. G. W. McCHntock, of the Hugoton Her ald, says of the Wood kidnapping case: "All the letters Wood and his partners in villain may write cannot change the facts. Wood is guilty of planning his own kid napping and has shown a lack of honor to those he bargained with to take him away." The Kansas City papers criticise the maimer in which their fair was conducted. There was too much money grab on the part of the ofiicers and directors and too little attention and too little money ex pended to make the exposition worthy of patronage. The Egli: is half inclined to say that very thing about some other fairs this fall. Democratic papers claim that Vermont Republicans did not poll as large a majority on the Gth inst. :is they did for Garfield or Blaine. Nevertheless a majority of 20,000 in a total vote of 00,000 seems to oe a sufii cient margin for all necessary purposes. Besides the legislature is nearly Republi can. Vermont leads the Republican column of 1880 with 20,o!)0 majority in a vole of o 1,772. The party prohibition vote was 1,832; Greenback and seatterin-, 295. Some of the prohibition leaders are frank enough lo avow that their first object is to overthrow the Republican party and then to compel it to seek a restoration to power 'by adopting the doctrines of the Prohibi tionists and absorbing their votes. They hope to uecuie this end as soon as it be comes apparent that the combined votes of the two show a total large enough to beat the Democrats and leave a margin for meeting the contingencies of such a coalition. A man whose cnlightment at any time in his life was sufficient to make him a Repub lican can never go down to the level of Democracy except thiough corruption or t'le unworthy motic of revenge. Thos. Moonlight was a much bigger man in his own estimation than he was in the estima tion of the Republican party of the state. This fact soured on him and he deliberately CDinmi'ted political harikari. Nobody ever regretcd his action unless it was the Demo cratic parly x hieh he had so outrageously and vehemently denounced for years and Wiiich party has been compelled to cajole him because of his influence with the saloon interest' and whisky men of the state. Tom Moonlight has simply been a soldier of hostages and a politician for bread and butter. There is not a Republican newspaper m uie state mat cares a traw for Thomas Moonlight. On October 19th and 20th Wichita is to be honored with the presence of several women who are robbing their homes of their presence and gallaraping about the country holding conventions in the interest of female suffrage. It's probable, howev er, that their homes don't miss them much. The majority of men would rather no wife at all that one of their build. The unfor tunate fellows whose names these women bear are fit only for petticoats, no doult. If they ever had the ambition or aim of men that spirit litis long since been ridden and pecked out of them. They vainly im agine that they might yet be somebody if their wives could but bring about equal suffrage. Poor fellows. in such an event they would amount to even Iftss than they do now. These so called wives of theirs, if the' had their will, would not only make these so-called hus bands their home-keepers, but would de prive them of the ballot, of their names and of any chance of transmitting their names or blood. But sis these unfortunate ones have neither the courage or ambition of a mouse it probably would make little dif ference. We sometimes think that had these peripatetic wives been equally j'oked, married to men who were just as much men as they are women, that we would not be compelled to the spectacle of roaming pet licoatcd politicians, except now and then in thejpersoii of some grim, stern, iulllex ble old maid whom no man would mate. One could put up a ith an occasional dose of Phoebe Cousins. Susan Anthony, and Dr. Mary Walker, jus one would with a diversoin but the announcement thatga whole string of married women are to visit us in addition to the old maids, it breaks us all up. SARATOGA'S CiLA DAY m And the Celebration of all Celebrations for Pratt County on the Completion or the WlehlU and Western to Saratoga. To the Editor of the Eagle. Saratoga, Kan., Sept., 23. Prior to the day fixed for the completion of the rail road to Saratoga the colored people had ad vertised to celebrate the day that gave to them their fereedom, and as the two cele brations came off to-day it has been a day long to be remembered in the history of Saratoga and Pratt county for an immense gathering of the people, pomp and festivi ties. Early in the morning and long be fore a glimpse of the sun could be seen in the east, wagons and carrriages loaded with people came strcamingin from every nook and corner of the county and surrounding country, and before the time had come for forming the parade, the town was swarm ing with a mass of people estimated at ten thousand or more. The city was beauti fully decorated with flags, bunting and banners of Aelcome, hung from flag poles, I the tower of the school building and wires stretched across the prin cipal streets. The parade was formed of citizens in carriages, Saratoga Post 344, G. A. R., the colored people in carriages, headed by the Saratoga cornet band, and marched to the crounds nrenared for the occasion, where speaking, readme of the emancipation proclamation, and music was followed as the program for the forenoon's entertainment, and a free dinner imme diately thereafter. Rev. B. F. Foster, of Topeka, Charles Thompson, of Eureka, and Rev. R. G. Whitman, of this county, were the coloied orators. Foster is a young man, both talented and cultivated, and his speech was well received, as were the other speeches. J. M. Bowman addressed the audience on behalf of the G. A. It. Post. and Tuller, of Iuka, on behalf of the citi zens. Mr. R. G. Whitman read the eman cipation proclamation, and Mrs. A. A. Whitman, wife of the colored poet, read a poem. At 1 o'clock the baud followed by the G. A. R. Post, marched to the denot to receive the delegations from the east, consisting of Supt. F. M. Hill and about fifty others from Wichita. A delegation of three hun dred, headed br the Kingmun silver cornet band from Kingman, and a delegation of seventy-five from Ninnescah. Among the Kingman people we noticed S. W. Leslie, J. C. Foley, C. F. Miller. P. J. Conklin and Wm. Green. The day's program wound up with a base ball game between the Kingman and Saratoga nines, in which the Kingman nine won the game, the score standing 10 to 13. The Kingman baud discoursed some very fine music on our streets before leaving for home. E. REAL ESTATE! REAL ESTATE! -THE LATEST IS MISLEADING LIES. From the Kansas Democrat. The Smith Center Baz.oo says: "The Republican press all over the state speaks highly of Tom Moonlight, and we do not believe they will dress their respective journals in mourning when the news is chronicled to the world that he has been elected governor of Kansas." There are about one hundred so-called CAPITAL -:- HILL -:: ADDITION, Situated between Second street and Central avenua There are only eight lots, containing about two and a half acres each. This tract is as fine as any on the Hill just east of the city. For prices and terms call at my office. Vacant Lots in every part of the city, and dont forget we can give you some fine bargains.

We have several of these tracts at such prices that a fine profit could be realized at once. FARMS AND STOCK RANCHES Of every description all over Kansas.

G. newspapers iu the state of Kansas that ought to be summarily wiped out of exist ence, They deal wholly in imagination and never in facts. The Bazoo is evidently of the class alldued to. Thos. Moonlight is a renegade Republican, to which party he owes all the prominence he ever enjoyed as a ciyil or as a military officer or as a pol itician. The proposition therefore that anjr Republican paper worth' the name should speak highly of this deserter is not only im probable but the assertion is untruthful. The Republican party as a party will for give anything in a man almost except the crime of desertion. CIIESNUTS. W.

SOLEMN REFLECTION. The Cleveland Lender, in its Sunda' is sue, refers to the fifth anniversary of the death of James A. Garfield in the following language: To admirers of the highest type of American statesmanship and sterling man hood, today, as the fifth anniversary of the death of President Garfield, is an occasion for solemn reflection. It recalls the events of that leader's life from the successes of his early bojiiood to his lingering suffering and death by the sea shore. But promi nently it brings to recollection the able po litical leaders weo then held the rciuns of government and leaves u to starelibout on the barren desert, dotted onlv bv politi cal nonentities, who now fill the places of their more illustrious predecessors in the federal adminisiration. THE HON. JOE MATERS. That particular bright but politically eccentriegeniuN, the lion. Joseph Waters who In gennerally found about the first frot on some stump or rostrum showing up the pshort coming of the Republican partv appears in the following eanl in a Topeka paper: Topeka. Ivan., September 21, livSG. I desire to say that I have not authorized any one to au cruse me iu speas :u i.UKeiis opera house at the Veterans Richts meet ing tomorrow night, nor have I been spoken toby any one requesting me to speak. .Noble Prcntis has allied me an intermit ting Republican, with a desire to go off after strange Gods, but this year I am, for a marvel, going to vote and support the straight Republican ticket. Joseph G. Waters. The Manhattan Congregational associa tion went out sailing Tuesday (says the Brooklyn Eagle. Had the breeze been steady the run to Fire Island and back could easily have been made, but lacked only two breaths of a adm on setting out, and the warm sun drove Dr. Pentecost to take off his and the others to shrink under the awning. A little cat's Daw Duffed the sail and Dr. Ingersoll movingly remarked: She moves, she stirs, she seems to feel Tho thrill of life along her keel. At this the wind laid the slooo's bow al most under the water, and the Manhattan Congregational association said, unani mously, "Chestnuts!" Then the members began to tell stories, and by si curious co incidence, whenever an old, moss-covered narrative was brought to the surface thG wind freshened. It therefore came about that there were constant appeals to the best memory of the campany for material to keep the barge going. Dr. McLeod had already told about the tramp, who, failing to obtain nutriment at the house of a wealthy lady, went on all fours on the lawn and began eating grass. The lady was called down to see this thing and she asked him why he did it. He replied that he had been living on it for three days. She said: "I never give anything to those who apply for it, but your cae is remarkable. Jane, you may take him around to the back vard, the grass is longer there." Then he related the anecdote of the country parson whose congregation gave him an alleged horse. When the parson dropped over to visit his father, the old gentleman asked him what it w:is. He said it w;is a horse, not a nice horse, but a horse as good a horse as his Master rode into Jerusalem. After a fur ther study of the architecture of the ani mal the old man said: "Yes, I guess it s the same one." Dr.Ingersoll made this contribution: "I met a man out wot i ho told me that he was born in Massachusetts, but tlmt tbr. oppicb, 127 avr;jLi:rj- stssiist. present place of his nativity was Iov.a."
