For the EAGLE.
Puritanical and Pusillanimcus

Never before were more contradic-
tory terms linked together than the
above, which were used by our Mayor
in his address to our City Council last
Tuesday evening, when he advised
them to do no act that would cause
our young and rapidly growing city,
of which not only we its citizens, but
the whole commonwealth of Kansas
are proud, to become "puritanical and
pusillanimous."
One must be not very well versed
in even the common school histories
of our country, or if he is, thinks he
can impose upon the intelligence of
cur people when he attributes, in any
degree, pusalanimity OF character to
the puritans. The puritan principle
that landed on Plymouth rock two
hundred and fifty years ago has given
a home to forty millions of people,
and independence of thought to the
world. 1t has bound our continent
together with an iron band, and sent
its ideas around the world in an in
slant of time. 1t has built cities
whose foundations are as firm as those
of the rock-ribbed hills, and whose
development i'll intellect and wealth
has no parallel in the history of the
world.
In the west it deyelopes the agri-
cultural and mineral resources of the
country, builds railroads, school
houses and churches, and never COM
petes in business which seems to be
the chief end of some men. The char
acter aud integrity of principle of the
puritan will do Wichita no harm. Her
business men already have it and it
will make her prosperous city.

The Dark Side Of Public Life.

Some sad scenes attend the death of
Congress. Said one of the ex-mem-
bers to me the other day, one who
has had an honorable though eventful
career: ~ have now been in public
life for twenty years. By the re-dis-

The Narrow Gauge

For reasons set forth in the report
of the committee, Ft. Scott was lef
out in the cold in the new railroad or
gauization. A direct connection with
TT. Scott, especially by standard gauge
would be desirable on many accounts
but particularly because of the direc
tons of the line and the competing
connections that would be secured BY
road reaching to and from that point
to the Arkansas Valley. The Moaitor
little sore, has the following to say
with reference to the meeting:
"There was no railroad meeting last
night, and the reason was that ma
iority of the conspirators deserted
Fort Scott and her interest, and advo.

Bismsrk Resigns.

Prince Bismark has rendered his res
ignation of the imperial chancellorship
The Intelligence occasions immense
excitement. The reasons for the stop
are not positively Known, but the re-
cent differences between Bismark and
Gen. Won Stosch, head of the admiral
ty, is believed to have provoked it.
The Crown Prince has endeavored to
induce Bismark to withdraw his res
ignation. Emperor William has de-
clined to accept it, acknowledging at
the same time in the most gracious
terms, Bismark's great services and
the country's need of their continuance
The Emperor has, however, granted
Bismark years leave of absence, of
which the Prince will shortly avail
himself to recruit his health. 1t is
not definitely settled who will repre-
sent him during his absence, but it is
considered probable that Won Bulow
will take charge Of the ministry of
foreign affairs and Camphausen of the
interior.
