1t is said that New York city controls
the politics of New York state and that
the state controls national politics. It
Is further said that the business men and
capitalists of New York city dictate the
management of city politics and through
this medium extend their control even
to the selection of chief executive for
the nation. These assertions being
granted there is great significance in the
fact that four hundred and seventy-seyen
leading business men and capitalists of
New York city have signed the following
call:
10 Messrs. John Jacob Astor, Lie
Grand B. Cannon, John A. Stewart,
jacob d. Vermilye, Cornelius N. Bliss,
benjamin II. Bristow, Cornelius r. Ag.
new, M. ID. Gentlemen: The under
dersigned respectfully request you to act
as committee to designate q time and
place at which the fellow citizens of
President Arthur may express their ap.
proval of his administration, and their
wish that he may be nominated for pres
ident at the republican national conven-
ton.
1t ls believed that this is the vide
spread feeling among those who manage
and control the great business interests
which center here aud involve the pros.
perity of the whole country.
It is fitting that such sentiments
should find means of public expression
both for the welfare of the country and
in justice to good president.
The list of signers to this call ls com.
posed of the heaviest dealers in the grea,
commercial center Of the nation. They
are the conservative element, which
looks first to pecuniary progress and
next to politics, always keeping in mind
that safe administration of national af
fairs enhances their business profits and
gives stability to trade. For this
reason they keep an eye upon the politics
of the country and whenever, in thei
Judgment, it seems necessary for tn
commercial influence of the country /,
assert itself, they come forward as unit
as they have done in this instance. Th,
action OF these business men indicate
confidence in the administration and
desire to continue it in behalf of tn
country's prosperity. These men cal
carry New York City for the candidat
of their choice. That they have declare,
in favor of Arthur means great deal. l
is almost enough to insure him the nom

A DEMAND FOR LARGE HOUSES.

The attention Of capitalists is called TO the
fact that a great dearth of large and commo.
dious houses for rent exists in this city. Those
who have been building houses for rent have
confined their operations to cottages and
houses Of the smaller class. not venturing
upon the large ones for fear of not being
able to find renters. That may have been
good policy in the past, but "a change has
come DER the scene" and there are in this
city at this time, large number of persons
who do not care TO build homes, who have
come here from the east where they have
been accustomed to large houses and plenty
of room, who desire the same accommodate
tons here and who have means to pay for
such places. They cannot now get them as
they are not TO be found, and are compelled
to live in small houses or board.
IL there was goodly number of eight and
ten room houses, they could doubtless be
rented even before the ground would be
broken for building, and would pay as good
investment. Wichita endeavors to keep pace
with all demands, let someone take this
necessary step at once.

There is considerable complaint as to the
carelessness of the street car drivers, particu
larly of the way some of them have of start
ing up suddenly, before passengers have had
time TO clear the car steps in getting off and
in securing seats after getting on. A lady OF
this city was very severely hurt yesterday,
having her foot and ankle sprained and her
side hurt, and up till dark last evening was
suffering from being thrown by driver
starting up before she could get off and clear
Of the car. Her husband, gentleman OF
standing and influence in this community,
came TO this Office with the matter. OF
course he was highly indignant and had a
right to be, and he thought il about time
that some public expression be made. This
is not the first complaint brought to us OF
this matter but we hope it will be the last
one, as the cars are largely patronized by
women and children who, as a rule, do not
know how to accommodate themselves to
the sudden motion of car in such wav
as to avoid being thrown down or iammed.

THE cneYeMMeS,

The little band of Indians that, is campet
near Mayor Griffcnstein's residence, were the
center of great deal of attention yesterday
both upon the street and at their camp. The
party was composed of three stalwart braves
four squaws. two children, ten or twelve
years of age, and three pappooses. They
were all arrayed in gaudy dress set off with
beads, rings, trinkets and war paint one
baby having large rings in its ears and a
daub of yellow ochre on its cheeks. The
children were slung upon the backs Of the
maternal dudincs and looked about very Sc
renely while the caravan was kept i'm mo-
ton, but when the cradle ceased to rock,
they grew uneasy and one went so Ear as to
cry, kick and pull its mothers hair: which it

THE CORNER STONE.

Yesterday at $50 o'clock p. m, the corner
stone of the NJ. f. church was placed in the
niche prepared for il in the walls Of the new
and beautiful edifice now being erected in
this city.
There was no ceremony connected with
the laying and it was witnessed by but few
persons, including the pastor Of the church,
Rev. ID. W. Phillips, half dozen Of the
members, and a small number of persons at
tracted by curiosity. The stone has been
described. 1t is very handsome and has
carved upon it in deep. bold characters,
the inscription, NJ. +. church, 1894.
In the top of the stone an excavation had
been made large enough to accommodate a
glass jar, and when the stone had been plsc-
ed in the position that it will occupy per-
haps for centuries, the sealed jar, which con-
tanned the list of articles found below, was
put in its resting place and another large
stone of the building adjusted upon the top,
where. without accident, it may never again
be looked upon by those who are now living
The jar contained copy of the EAoLK and
one of the Beacon that was placed in the old
corner stone in July, 20 and removed after
the church was burned in May last.
These old papers contained an historic
account of the church up to that date, and
a recent copy of each of these with the his
tory up to the present time. Then there
WAS an old paper with the minutes of the
conference held just before the old church
was built. and one containing the minutes of
the conference of this year. 1t also con-
tanned a list of the official members ofthe
