without our pork and other salted
meats, any more than they can get
along without our grain products,
and if we should wisely Danish the
miserable stuff that they send TO us
under tho enticing labels upon their
old wine bottles, and which are a
libel upon the wine of their ances-
tors, we should soon bring them to
their senses.
Lager beer has scored another
victory over the temperance folks
throug gh vote of the Senate declar-
ing it not to be an intoxicating
beverage. This was ,on the adop-
ton of ono of tho rules reported by
Senator Frye, which included malt
liquors in the list of drinkables not
allowed to be sold at the Capitol.
Senator Bayard protested against
the prohibition of this innocent and
altogether harmless drink, and the
Senate unanimously fellin with him.
Even the sturdy New Englandcrs
who were reared under the exalting
moral influences of the Maine law,
and knew nothing of "cold tea"
until they came to Washington, did
not venture q tilt at Gambrinus on
this occasion. The Senate during
the last long session, which extended
we'll into August, quenched it's thirst
with $50 dozen of Apollonaris, and
about the same amount of Bethesda,
which were served out in the cloak
room from huge tubs filled with ice,
in which the bottles were packed,
and to get at ,ich required no less
than eight doz, n of corkscrews, an
item that appropriately figures in
the contingent expense along with
the cooling Bethesda.
ADDITIONAL GOSSIP AT THE CAPITAL,
The much talked of and long
expected resignation Of Assistant
Secretary New, Of the Treasury
Department, has finally come.
There are several theories as to
the cause of this step, but the
real reason is said by those who
profess to know to be the dislike
on the part of Mr.. New to serve
under Secretary Folger. 1t is
probably true that he has hoped
to succeed the latter as the head
of the department, but President
Arthur has hesltated to make the
change for prudential reasons.
hence the Assistant Secretary
unable to crafty his ambition.
Steps down and out. The only
other sensation here this week is
the marriage of Frederick Doug,
lass to young and pretty white
girl. The veteran coloreu orator
Is upwards of sixty, but hale and
hearty. His bride is not many
years out of her teens, and said
to be bright and attractive. OF
course the affair creates good
deal OF talk and some even ex-
press Indignation, but the pre-
vailing notion is that if Douglass
and the girl are satisfied other
people will have to be.

Ito BE CONTINUED.

We learn that the dinner ten
dered to Mr.. Fortune, of the New
York Globe, was intended to cele-
brate his return to the fold of the
republican party. Mr.. Douglass
was requested to preside, but with
his characteristic far>sightedness
he declined. The dinner termin-
ated in a broil between the office
holders and their opponents, and
it appears that bitter insults were
offered Register Bruce and Hon.
Frederick Douglass by Professor
Greener. Our people are on the
road to civilization.-[Weekly
Record.
The Washington Bee says:
We have killed the fat+ed calf
and welcomed to our home again
the Prodigal Son. Mr.. Fortune,
and may he never betray bis trust
to the great chieftain John A.
Logan.
A great deal has been said and
done in Warrington to proselyte
Brother Fortune, but in our opin-
ion he gets worse. He is bitterer
now than ever against the admin
istratiOn. We don't think our
worthy cotemporary, the Bee, un-
derstands the Globe.
AS for our part we certainly
have no objection to our highly
esteemed and worthy cotemporary
returning to his first love. But
we must confess that he deserves
great credit for his manly and
independent stand, as that GER
tainly must be coupled with wealth
and intelligence to make any ma
ton grand.

much needed among the colored

THE NEW TOWN OF OAKLAND.
D the Editor Of the Daay Edgie.

| To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
OAKLAND, Oct. 18th, 1884.
Just at the foot of the gentle slope tina,
divides the Cowskin from the Arkansas river
bottom lies the town of OAKLAND the first sta
ton southwest on the ST. l.. Fl. S. e. w
X. X.
While it has not attracted the attention OF
the public as much as some other places
more pretentious, there can be no doubt that
it is well situated to attract the trade of the
rich prosperous community around it. To
the east lies the unequalled corn lands of the
river bottom. To the west is the Cowskin
and adjacent praires long well known as
one Of the best wheat regions of the state.
To the north lies the almost impossible
slough.
Now, right here at OAKLAND, there are
chances for men with money and pluck to
make fortunes. There are openings for
business that will bear investigation. The
town company will act literally with any
who wish to settle and help develop the
town. Agood elevator would pay and is an
actual necessity as 200 bushel of grain was
shipped one day last week and cars are be-
ing loaded all the time. No man could coin
money faster than by running good hotel
one fully up to the requirements of the town.
A good commcdious store building has just
been finished by Mr.. n. w. Robinson who
will occupy it with stock of goods suitable
for the trade and will use portion Of
the room for the OAKLAND post office. which
will soon receive and send out daily mail.
Mr.. r. also buys wheat and sells coal and
posts.
Mr.. Cartwright is here also buying wheat
and selling coal.
The company have built large convenient
stock yards to accommodate shippers.
Two trains day each way affords rapid
transit to and from the city.
The NJ. +. church erected last winter at
cost Of $1,000, is just one mile from the sta
ton.
While Waco township did not aid or con-
tribute towards building the railroad, the
management have acted in liberal manner
towards the town, giving all, and more than
could be reasonably asked for in the way of
facilities. The company have added to the
taxable property of the township nearly
100000, which helps every man in the
township, and it would be only common
fairness for every farmer in Waco to give
this road their business. Mr.. Carr. a clever
Young man, is the.compsny's sgent,and will
be pleased to give Information as to rates or
any other matters connected with his bust
ness.
Wichita viii always be the center around
which We revolve. the star of first magni-
tude. while these smaller towns around will
only contribute to her prosperity and help
her to the brilliant future that awaits her

To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle:
A meeting was called to be held at Cofiey's
hall on last Saturday night, by the mem.
bers of the standing committee of Morton
township and the citNof Cheney, for the
purpose of organizing Blaine and Logan
club. Punctually to the hour the hall wal
well filed, and on motion, Henry Sutton
was called to the chair. VIM. Brown, Col!
Lovejoy, J. d. Tnbbs and Z. B. Rankin
were chosen vice presidents, and G. T. Jones
was chosen secretary. Col. Lovejoy was
called upon, and in response, made an elo-
quent, clear and argumsntative speech in IA
vor of his f,vorites, and was frequently ap-
plauded. Capt. Osgood then came to the
front and made one of the best speeches we
have heard in many a day. On motion, a
committee of five was appointed by the
chair to receive the fambeau club from
Wichita, at any time they will agree to WIS.,
it our city. The committee is as follows
Capt. Osgood, J. ID. Tubbs, Herman Wal
den, S. J. Jones and A. w. Tyler. After
the appointing of the above committee, the
secretary was instructed to correspond with
the club at Wichita, and ascertain when il
would be convenient for them TO visit Che
ny. Forty-four names were signed to the
club in the hall and numbers have been add
ed since. On motion adjourned TO meet
next Saturday night.

FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

The day following the nomination of c. X.
Holiday, of Topeka, on the Democrat tick
e, the Eagle called attention 10 the fact tina,
the nomination of Col. Holiday, who is the
largest railroad owner, resident of this State,
was proof positive that the assertion that
Click and his clique had been backed By
that interest, ever if Clicks policy during
the session ofthe Legislature did not prove it.
We also called attention to the fact which
the papers have been slow TO take up, and
that Is that rs Lieut.. Governor he would be
chairman of the board whose duty it is to
assess all railroad property in the State, and
and not only that, but the chairmen of the

STRUCK AlEAp.

The opposition held forth night before
last al Valley Center. The two great issues
of the present campaign, to-wit: Murdoch
and Stanley, were handled with compre-
hensive breadth and in mastery manner
by the fellows who possibly dream that they
will be able to secure the Republican vote
of this county for their mongrel mix. Mug
wulnps il was from bottom to top and first
TO last. The discussion of Stanley and the
editor of the EAGLE before the people can
hardly fail Of cnlightening every voter in the
county as TO his exact duty in the pending
canvass. No doubt people will travel miles
these moonless nights to learn just what this
or that gentleman believes or don't believe,
But in the meantime we suggest that some
poor honest Democrat, or Republican either
for that matter, at some of these meetings
where Stanley and Murdoch are being dis
cussed by these fellows, Just take the oppor-
tunity to ask Mr.. Dorsey few of the lead
ing questions addressed to him by cores
pondent elsewhere in this issue. When he
and his have satisfactorily answered these
questions there will be time to abuse men
who are not asking any office.

MR.. DORSEY. ANSWER!

To the Editor of the Daily Eagle:
The position that Mr.. Dorsey will take in
relation TO certain matters of public concern
if he is elected senator and to what his views
are at present and as to what they have been
in the past upon issues in which the public
are interested and also as TO the part he took
in the late Republican senatorial convention
are all being discussed, guessed at. speculat.
ed upon, all over the county.
Now as it is generally understood that Mr.
Dorsey is an earnest and sincere man, hon.
est in his purposes, bold and aggressive in
his makeup and self sa crifcing and true in
his friendship, never having deserted his
friends who had helped him, having no de-
ceit in his nature, an being an enemy of po-
litical schemes, jobs and tricks. We have
no doubt but what he will answer the follow
ing questions and through his widely circu-
lated journal set the matter at rest.
Mr.. Dorsey. did you vote for the constitu-
tional amendment:
What prompted you TO do it.
When did YOU first advocate resubmis-
sion:
Did you not try to secure a sufficient
number OF delegates in the late Republican
senatorial convention so that you could pre-

thereby force your own nomination.

A ROARING OLD ACHE.

II all the political belly-aches that have
ever doubled up the Democratic papers of
Kansas in the past could be resurrecied and
rolled into one, that one would not equal the
one now affecting Clicks organ, the State
Journal. We never in all our born days
witnessed such fearful contortions, and still
at its head floats the names Of Cow Doctor
Click, Railroad Holiday and Personal Lib
erty Campbell. "Up with free whisky and
down with the men who would presume to
use wine for communion purposes" appears
to be the burthen of the Journals cry which
is taken up by the Democratic nominees
and waited TO the confines Of the last town
ship in the state.
