The EAGLE is not the organ of the city adj
ministration,-n has been, nor dees it ey-
er expect the honor, and any failure to follow
its gratuitous advice has always been attrlbu-
ted to general waywardness and a glorious
selt-reliance, born of municipal success and
independence rather than to any want of con-
fdence IN its Judgment upon the part Of the
Mayor and Council. If not too much of d.
erosion, we might say that We have been rem
dered proud of our own discretion and had
our respect for the said authorities elevated to
the highest pinnacle on several occasions VIII en-
they have promptly acted in response to the
voice OF the people as reflected through these
columns. You all remember the Alpine viii
lage and that youth with banner of strange
device! How inspiring; how noble What
SO infectious as example. Now, Tom Ander-
son. lately reelected Mayor Of the city OF To-
peka, recommends. among other things, In
view Of the stringency of the times, a practi-
cal retrenchment, by making the Marshal act
as policeman and by cutting off the salaries
OF the Mayor and Council. Think of that. No
defraudng of the laborer and the artisan of
his time, no cutting off of printers, but taking
the great honor conferred by the people, in
electing you to such high Office, as full pay for
your slight services. We don't exactly ask
our Mayor aud Council to do this-only call
their attention TO what might be done.
