Moonlight was beaten, in Finney county by 547 votes, while McCarthy, for auditor, beat Kelley 1,4-17, which goes to prove what the Eagle said before the election, ic. that the Democrats would not vote for Kelly to any extent worth mentioning. "We know some who did so who say they did so unwittingly; that if they had Known Kelly was a negro they would have scratched his name. The nomination of Kelly by the Democrats was the most insipid sop and the colored vote was not caught by it: that is, not to hurt. THE BIBLE A"D WOMEN'S EIGHTS. The net result of the contest is that no Republican state except Minnesota have the Republicans lost ground in congress men. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Is that so? How about jSTcbraska? What about Colorado? And California? And Massachusetts? And New Hamp shire? And Tennessee? And South Car olina? And Maryland? "What do you call losing ground, anyway? Kansas City Times. Aye! "What do you call losing ground, Mr. Times? Your party's number has been reduced nineteen votes in the lower house of congress by the late election. If the ensmallment was on the Republican side we would consider that we had been losing, and that pretty heavily. This year was an off year as to national politics, but it has been a noted one for nariow margins of majorities. Iu the Sixty-third district in this state E. D. Stratford, Republican, received a majority of one over A. Rassctt, Democrat, for the legislature. In the Seventh Ohio congres sional district Campbell. Democrat, has a majority of three over Little, Republicm. Iu Colorado the contest for governor was almoit as close. In New Jersey. "West Virginia and one or two other states the legislatures are almost a tie, while the Dcm. ocratic majority in congress will be beauti fully less in the Fiftieth congress than at present. The brief announcement in tho die patches this morning that butchers in the cast, notably at Albany, X. Y., refuse to slaughter or handle cattle shipped east from Chicago on account of the trouble there between Knights of Labor em ployes and llier packing employers, would seem to indicate that the trouble growing out of the Chicago disagreement is not to be confined I.) that city. For the sake of the peace of the country and the common welfare we trust the disagreement in Chicago may be speedily and perma nently adjusted. These repeated clashes between employers and employes arc Harm ful in their elects to both parties, more particularly to employes as they arc usually less prepared to sustain the losses that in evitably result from even a temporary sus pension of business. The dispatches this morning announce the departure from Cincinnati yesterday morning of 31 r. and Mrs. J. G. Carlisle for "Wichita. The further announcement is made that at the end of the teim in con gress, for which lie has just been elected, Mr. Carlisle v. ill probably 'change his place of residence and leave Kentucky per manently. If that shall be his decision there is no place that would accord him a more cordial welcome than Wichita, what ever may he his prelereuces. If Mr. Car lisle should it-move from Kentucky we would take it as evidence of his determina tion to ret he fiom active political life, in Jismueh as he has had and can have for the asking, anything he desires at the hands of his party in Kentucky that it is within its power to bestow, and now enjoys next to the highest position iu the nation, the gift of his parly at large. Mr. and Mrs. Car lisle arrived in the city hist night and are the guests of their son, Mr. W. K. Car lisle. The city extends to them a cherry welcome. Perhaps the most noted divine of the times is Rev. T. Do Wilt Talmage. liy his great courage. iuehau.tablc zeal an . forceful preaching he has done much to wards reforming many of the abuses which have nfllicted society, particularly in hK own city. He possesses many of the charac teristic of John Bunyau, him like he be lieves what he believes "Miiartingly." Bat with all his profundity of wisdom he has manifested one weakness: he prophesies that sixty years and the en 1 of all things terrestrial will cease to exist; that the kit tle of Armageddon will 03 fought, the books nude up and the Angol, with one foot oa land and the other on sea, will cry: "Time shall be no more." Well, if Mr. Talmage can stand it we shall have to try. Meanwhile it i a consolation to know that grand opportunities are all about us for doing something to hasten millennial tide, its share of which the Eagle will con tinue to perform, realising that 'VTa aro hviug, wo aro dwelling Iu a grand and awful time.' and that "To Ihj living is sublime.'1 OFFENSIVE lWltTlSANMlIl'. A short time ago President Cleveland felt constrained, in vindication of the rules laid down by the civil service commission, to remove from office two persons holding positions by appointment under his admin istration, their offense being active partic ipation in political campaigningmaking speeches and otherwise doing party work. The president attention is again culled to similar and more Offensive action by two other federal officers in this state, viz: Ex-Governor Gliek and W. C. Perry, both of whom took conspicuous part iu the late state Democratic convention and in the subsequent campaign. Gov. Click is U. S. pension agent jit Topeka and Perry is U. S. district attorney for Kansas. The Eagle has no faith in the civil service humbug, but since it is in force and Mr. Cleveland has started off in that directien it is fair that all should be treated alike. We heartily agree with the sentiment of the great soldier-president. Gen. Grant, that the quickest way to get rid of an obnoxious law is to" strictly enforce it. To tlio Editor of the Eagle. Iu the Eagle's report of the Woman Suffrage convention, held recently in this city, is an abstract of Mr.s. Colby's address, which is characterized as an excellent and logical one upon the relations of the liible to the woman suffrage question. She is reported as saying that th majority of the women connected with this work for woman's advancement are in the christian church, therefore they are right in asking what the liible has to say on tiie woman question; also, that the Old Testament re cognized the equality of woman, both in the creation, in the history and the laws. In my reading of the Bible I have failed to find any teachings on the suffrage ques tion. But what it teaches on woman's sub ordination to man i3 abundant, clear and specific. Woman by creation was made one with man, as in Geniscsl-27: "God created man in His own image, in the image of God created lie them, male and female, created He them." It was to man (male and fe male) that the daminion over the earth was given. In. the second chapter and eighteenth verse God said: "It is not good that man should be alone. I will make one help meet for him. Ihat Adam needed an helnmect is evidence that alone he was not perfect. The woman Avas assential to his completeness as man. She was made of the rib taken from Adam's side, and when she was brought to him he said, "this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh " therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh." Here is tin explicit assertion of the unity of manhood, the two become one flesh. Thisun ity is also implied in the sentence of expul sion from Eden, "and the Lord God said 'behold, man has become a3 one of us to know irood and evil." - w So He drove out the man. The fact that Adam was created first and that the woman was taken out of man ives him the precedence which is accorded to him as the head of cre ation, including women. As St. Paul says the "man is the head of women.' Man seems to have been originally superior to the woman only in position there was equality but under headship. The sins of our first parents did not produce any inherent inequality between the sexes, but it materially changed their relations towards each other. It was as a punishment for her transgression that sen tence of bondage was pronounced upon woman. Unto the woman God said: "I will greatly multiply thy sorrows v thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee." This leach ing is both explicit and au thoritative. Woman is placed in subordin ation to her husband and her creator, as a penalty for her disobedience. So much for the express teachings of the Old Testament on this subject. 1 here is much that is inferential to the same purport. So far as can be learned the condition of woman down to the time of Moses was most deplorable. In the laws of tho Hebrew commonwealth she had rights which were recognized and in the exercise of which she was protected. Her status was much more favorable to her peace and happiness down nearly to the time of Christ. But in the Jewish laws which emmatcd directly from Jehovah, there is an entire exclusion of woman from all participation in the government of the nation and in the tabernacle and temple service. She was appointed to no office either iu church or state, and she was eligi ble to none. It is true that Deborah was a judge in Israel; but this was not a national uiiux-. ,j imgus were raised up or lioct m times of great spiritual declension and of oppression. They were for special exigen cies, and held rheir offices temporarily. It is not unlikely that Deborah may have been the only person in the nation who had sufficient faith in the God of Israel to be a judge of the people; for the man whom she allied to the command" of an army had moie faith in her than in the Almighty who promised him a victory. Thus we see that the indirect teaching; of the Old Testament do not in the least contravene the command of God, "thy husband shall rule over the." But the sentence is fulfilled even more lit erally than was originally intended. In turning to the .New Testament wo find the same truths taught as in the old. Our Lord nowhere either directly or by implication, changes the existing relations of the sexes. He does not set aside the judgment of His Father upon disobedient woman, lie gave no intimation that the curse laid upon woman was removed or would be removed during this dispensation of a.Tairs. He declares that the whole law must be fulfilleil, not a jot or tittle would fail. He counselled submission, patience, forbearance in this life, promising her not only rc-torntion to her eduric position, but inconceivable glory in the coming kingdom excelled by none. But neither she nor man was to look for anything but sorrow, suffering and self-denial in this life. They must bear the burden brought upon them selves to the end of time. The apostles, too. plainly taught the duty of obedience to the husband. We quote a few of the numerous passages to this e.Tect. In Titus, ii., o, wives are com manded "to be obedient to their own hus band. Colossians iii., S, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as it is lit in the Lord." I. Peter, 3-o, "Likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husband-." "For after this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, bein-j in sub jection to their own husbands." Eph. 3, 22-24: "Wives, submit yourselves unto your nusoatuts as unto the lord XT BRINGS TO KEMEMBRAXCE. The announcement that the name of P. M. B. Young, Georgia, has been suggested to the president as a suitable person to suc ceed S. S. Cox at the Turkish court at Constantinople revives a reminiscence of the war of the rebellion that had its sequel in Washington in 18G7. Mr. Young, who was a dashing leader of Confederate cav alry and who was in command oi Lee's vanguard in his march across the moun tains from Chambersburg to Gettysburg, Pa., was chosen by the people of his dis trict in Georgia to represent them in con gross along with the first delegation that was admitted after the war. Young in troduced a bill that he was very anxious to have passed, and when it went to the com mittee of which the late Thadeus Stevens was chairman he almost lost hope. He re solved, however, to do his best, and sought Mr. Steven3 iu his private offiee and stated his mission. Mr. Stevens gave him respectful audience and asked him who he was it was early in the session and Young a new member. He frankly told Mr. Stevens who he was; that he was the man who commanded the rebel cavalry which burned his (Stevens') great iron works, sit uated between Chambersburg and Gettys burg, Pa. Struck by his frankness, Stevens sprang to his feet, grasped Young by the hand and said: "Young man, I admire your manli ness and courage; rest assured your meas ure will receive favorable report by the committee, and I will do what I can to secure its passage by the house." The bill passed, and this informal intro duction ripened into warm friendship be tween the two men. The value of Stevens' iron works burned by Young's command was estimated at half a million dollars.

The contest between Leoti and Coronado, as candidates for the county seat of Wichi ta county comes up this week, provided the census taker of Wichita county turns up in time, ne left Wichita county last week in the night en route to Topeka, since which time he has not been heard from. It is intimated that perhaps he has had himself kidnapped to prevent putting in his returns. The governor has ordered him to file his report twice, but so far has asked further time on one pretext or an other. It seems since the people of that county have been deprived of their vote in the last election through the connivance of the party who have become known as profes sional county seat fighters throughout the west, public opinion has generally gone to the people's town in that count' and its citizens havo the sympathy of the state officers. These county seat contests have been very annoying to Governor Martin, and questions arise in them that require a sound judicial mind to solve. In a few in stances the people have been overreached by the speculative towns, but in the " main his appointments have been generally en dorsed. ' Occasional." Topeka, Kan., Nov.

Twenty lesgislatures were chosen, in whole or iu part, on Tuesday, which will elect successors to United States senators whose terms expire on March 8 next. Eleven of the retiring senators are Re publicans and nine arc Democrats. If eleven Republicans aud nine Democrats are returned the Republicans will have forty-one members in the next senate aud the Democrats thirty-live. The Republi cans are assured of nine of the twenty positions to be filled, and the Demo crats of ten, leaving New Jersey in doubt. The Republicans, therefore, are certain of having thirty-nine members in the senate and the" Democrats thirty-six. There will be a Republican majority of two in that body even if New Jersey chooses a Democrat The probability is that that state will be found to have elect ed a Republican legislature, which will put the Republican majority at four. In the present congress the Republicans had forty two in the senate and the Democrats' thirty-four. The following shows the political com pleiion of the delegation of each state to the house of the next congress, according to the latest figures received, the result in Colorado still being in doubt: Rep.

The Labor party elect ed two representatives one each in Vir ginia and Wisconsin. The six Greenback ers, on partisan questions, will vote with the Democracy, as probably also the two Labor men. Adding these to the Demo cratic total, that party will have 170 in the house of representatives of the next con gress, as against loo Republican1:. To the house of representatives of the present congress the Democrats elected 1S4 counting Weaver, the Iowa Green backer, a- a Democrat on partisan issues and the Republicans elected 141 includ ing Bruuim, of Pennsylvania, a Re-pub-licaa-Greenbaeker. Upon this basis of comparison the Republicans have made a net gain of thirty, reducing the Demo cratic majority of forty-three in the popu lar branch of the forty-nincth congress to a majority of thirteen in the fiftieth.
