Old MADEIRA WINE has always been
popular in Washington, especially on
the tables of the Justices of the Supreme
Court. For many years supplies were
obtained from old mercantile houses in
Alexandria, which had made direct i'm
portations prior to the Revolution, and
in November, 1852, many Washington
cellars were replenished at the sale Of
the private stock Of the late Josiah Lee,
OF Baltimore. Fifty demiiohns of vari-
Gus brands of Madeira were struck of
at prices ranging from s24 to $40 per
gallon, and one lot commanded SIS 80
per bottle, which. at five bottles to the
gallon, is at the rate of $77 80.

SPCILS. NOTHING BUT SPOiLS

For wears and years the men com
posing the party of rebellion and dis
LOYALTY have dinned il into the ears of
the American people that the Rcpubli-
can party was the party of spoils. and
that but for the office, there would be-
no such party a. the Republican party.
Every American citizen whose poliii-
cal ideas have not been prostituted by
ofiicc-amhition must have blushed
yesterday morning on reading the as
sociatcd press dispatch from Washing
ton which contained the humiliiaiing
Information that so great was the rush
Of applications for postofiiccs that
the First Assistant Postmas-
make 4 special detail of clerks TO
file them away Every mail for every
hour in the day brought thousands of
these applications for office, and the
postofiicc building was crowded with
applicants. SO hungry and ill-man-
nered is this. mob of hungry place
hunters that official representatives of
foreign countries are seriously dcbar-
ing the proposition to remove Ia
New York or some other city.
In the presence of this disgraccful
scramble surely no Democratic organ
will charge the Republican party with
being an office holders party.

COL. MILTON STEWART
The Grand Army of the Republic o.
Kansas at Fort Scott.

The annual state encainpment, OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic
aud how much that name means in
Kansas. the state which has received
and numbers so many, many thous-
ands of the men who are entitled TO a
membership in that patriotic orgaDi-
zation,-convenes at the city of Fl.
Scott to-day. One among the most
important duties devolving upon the
delegates TO this annual gathering OF
men, who in the hour of their coun-
try's peril demonstrated that patriot
ism is TO be preferred TO home and
to even life itself, is the selection OF
one of their comrades for the signal
honor of grand commander or chief
officer. of this great organization of
patriot veterans. For that honor this
section of the state. or the men repre-
seniing southwestern Kansas, have
named Colonel Milton Stewart Of this
city. While it may not be just in
i'idt' ioi Il l'ii'ifdl paper w Sdn any
thing tending to influence mcn'in such
a contest, we feel that the delegates
will excuse the EAGLE for speaking 4
good word for man 80 universally
esteemed and admired by the people
of his home city a is Col. Milton
Stewart If a single fault can be at
tributcd to him as an mdiyidual-and
the time was when such lack would
have rather been named as a virtue
than faults his extreme diffidence
and modcsty when il comes To any per- |
sonal prcferment or honor. In all
matters pertaining 10 the public wei |
fare TO society, civic and religious, few |
men can he found more earnest |
or active. For others he Is
ever ready To do, for himself |
ever modest and unprctending. As
to his record a. "a soldier, one whose |
sterling worth and unflinching BRAY
cry carried him from the ranks to the
second in command of his regiment,
h.s comrades in convention at Fort
Scott, to-day, will probably need no
enlightenment His cause nor his
character will be wanting ia warm adj
vocates and admirers. As TO any OPP
position for whatever cause or from
whatever source, il can in no way at
tack his character "a "A citizen or his
record as Il soldier. If hc i not hon
orcd il will be because of no lack of
merit or support from those who
know the man.
If the question of the location for
the G.. \. H. for the next year should
enter into the contest or Il question a
to the capacity Of This city TO entertain
So large 4 body of men A. meet in the
annual cucampment, we take pleasure
in answering all that Wichita is prob
ably a. accessible or nearly SO as any
'cify when the entie state is taken
into the count, while her faci iiies for
taking care of large body of people
are excclled by no city in the state.
Responding the BOYS ia Blue a
harmonious and profitable annual biv-
ouac which shall be marked only with
and the recalling of MEM
Dries of fading scenes, the EAGLE cx-
presses the hope that the light of their
watch-fire may enable them to distin-
gHiSh the many merits and deservines
of the man whose cause we only beg
a chance to champion. 4.

TO increase the members of the su.
