The report Of the Chief Engineer Of the
United States steamer Kearsarge on the
Congo region is not very encouraging.
He gives a gloomy picture of the thrift
lessnes5 and degradation Of the natives,
and of the rayages Of tine dreaded African
fever. lfhis IDEAS are correct. the great
commercial venture on the Congo is not
likely to be very proftable-at least not
for good MANY years.

A LiNeIY Debate Promised.

There appears to be great difference
OF opinion respecting the position the Re
publican Senator'S will take next winter
with regard TO nominees who fill vacancies
caused by the removal Of offensive par
tisans."
A few weeks ago it was said that they
had no understanding about the matter,
and that there would be no opposition to
any OF the nominations except upon
strictly personal grounds.
Senator Conger, who is one Of the most
extreme partisans on the Republican
side, intimates pretty strongly that there
will be the liyeliest fight in the Senate
next winter that has. been witnessed
there for many day. He declares that
IL is very doubtful that the Senate will
sanction the removals for alleged offensive
partisauship unless il be shown that those
appointed TO Ill the vacancies are not
offensive partisans in exactly the same
sense as those who were removed.
IL must be admitted that there is a
chance for the Republicans 10 make a
good deal Of noise, and AS they do not often
let an opportunity 10 be heard pass I'M
improved IL is notimprobahle that Logan.
HawleY, Edmunds, Allison, Sherman,
Frye, Eyarts and the rest Of them Will
take up a good deal OF valuable time soon
after Congress meets in taking about
offensive partisaus.

Steve Elkins' denial that he was inter-
ested in the Maxwell land grant has not
gone unchalleugod. w. z. Fshback,
Master in Chancery Of the Federal Court,
proves by letters and documentary evil
dence that Steve was the attorney who
did the fine work In procuring the fraudu-
lent survey, while his own brother was
the surveyor. Mr.. Flshback asserts thar
10000 settlers lost their homes through
the fraudulent surveys. He shows the
weakness Of Elkins' plea that the legality
Of the grant was sustained by Bayard,
Elkins and others. he says that there is
no dispute about the legality Of the
original grant, but that the fraudulent
survey was obtained by Elkius. ana IL
makes no difference whether he owned an
interest in 1t or was merely hired to do
the dirty work.

HOW A LIE SPEAKs-
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Iynypvxpvvcv No Nov 90 IA

TO the Editor OF the Eagle.
ISpKPESDxxcs, Mo-, Nov. %, 1886.
DEAR SIR:-The enclosed is from the Kan
sas City Times Of yesterday Sunday, and
is surprise to the witer. as myself and
two other parties expected to move the LIST
Of January to your city to engage in bust
ness.
Will you favor me with the facts in which
ever way is most convenient to you. The
state statistics show that your county has
doubled in the last five years.
Is general trade increasingly Are too
many persons arriving as in Kansas City!
Please address your answer in care of the
Laclede hotel. Respectfully,
GEO. II. PROCTOR.
The above letter comes of the lying COM
munica:ion appearing in the Kansas City
Times of Sunday, and which We reproduced
yesterday properly branded. We take
pleasure in informing the writer that there
is not q single word of truth in the clipping
sent us. Wichita has splendid schools and
churches, and civilization that can put to
shame anything ever yet encountered by Us
in Missouri outside of st. Louis. Our dirt
lest streets are paragons compared TO the
cleanest to be found in Kansas City, and the
records show the death rate to be four times
less than that Of Kansas City or seven to the
thousand. Wages are good, and one of the
principal contractors of the city informed US
yesterday that he had great difficulty in Sc
curing competent mechanics in sufficient
force to keep up with his work. Groceries
and provisions are as cheap, in fact cheaper
than in any town in the state. In fact the
letter signed investigator" is batch of
bold lies

POLICE COURT.

Barney Gillian was invited to make apollo
gies TO to the judicial representative of the
city yesterday for being hoS-come-you-so.
Barney had red eyes and a red head; he had
a forty-rod breath and willing but uncer-
tain and weak legs. Instead of having a
far-awsy look, he fixed his gaze upon the
venerable countenancs of Judge Glenn and
brought to bear on that functionary more
blarney in FIVE minutes than the ordinary
drunk can get off in thirty.
MAY it phase the riverent court was out
with the byes and by way OF sociabilIty
loike inhibited few draps of the crater.
No harrum yer honor, only jest enough to
cut the cob-webs and DROVE dull care
away"
His honor said that the excuse offered was
good in some particulars, bu, did not come
up to the requirements of the law Then it
was that Barney came at him with his solid
arguments:
May it phase yer honor have high re-
gard for yer honor's knowledge of the law,
but whiu Is jist celebrstin' his health with
good whisky an no bad conduct. yer hon
or's too great man to 60 back on a Gun
tryman jist for few dollars"
The judge, who is not susceptible TO fat
terry, put his loves: price for plain drunk
opposite the name of Barney Gillian, snd
Barney settled the matter, having
full confidence that he got out Of the Crap
ping works of the law in a very easy man

A GREAT BEND DELEGATION.

As legitimate result for the letting of
the contract for the construction Of the
Wichita & Colorado railway, the influence
Of our city is spreading, and representative
gentlemen of the fine towns along the upper
valley, who have for years been whirled by
and away from us thirty miles to the north,
are now almost daily coming TO see us;
coming not only TO verify the claims of the
EAGLE touching this city's rapid growth and
Importance as jobbing center, but to see
what the chances are for connecting her BY
rail. Yesterday E.W Moses mayor of the city
of Great Bend, j. V. Brinkman, banker,
c. Samuels, dry goods merchant, and E.
r Moses, a hardware merchant, made us q
call to talk over the present and future Of
the Eagle Line, and what would be the
chances of a connection with that road
These gentlemen met the resident directors,
Wood, Levy Harris, and Neiderlander at 2
O'Clock, the result of which conference We
have not learned.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

A very large number CT teachers are ex-
pected here tomorrow to attend the South
western Kansas Teachers association, the
programme of which we published in for
mer issue. The proceedings promise to be
of an unusually interesting character, and
the people of our city ought to avail them
selves of this opportunity to hear something
interesting. A number of eminent speakers
will address the meeting. among whom are
P. j. Williams, ID. D., of Lawrence, Hon. j.
II. Lawhead, state superintendent. and Hon.
T. Dwight Thatcher, of Topeka. Superin-
tendent Campbell will be glad to send
teachers to those who Will furnish him their
names, and who can accommodate teachers,
together with the number they can accom-
modate. A committee of local teachers
will meet the visitors at the depot and con-
duct them to the houses selected for them.

CITY LIBRARY.

The city council at their last meeting,
made contract with j. F. Mcintosh, of
Chicago, to take charge of the library for
one year, The contract provides that he
shall receive all the income during the year
and in return the.efor shall put in 500 vol
umes of the Century library, to be circulat-
ing with the other books with the same regu-
lations without extra cost. The tickets al
ready out are to be honored the same, and
to enttle the holder to access to the whole
consolidated library. The city is to furnish
lights, heat and rent and to appropriate sos
for printing a catalogue Of the books. The
books that are TO be added by J.F. Mcintosh
are said to be an excellent selection of stand
ard historical, scientific and works Of fiction,
and will be an addition that will make the
library tickets sought after

ONE OF THE GANG.

Every day or two the police manage to
rake in one of the gang. On Monday man
named Z. B. Ely, from Kingman, went in
a lunch room on Douglas avenue to get
something to eat. He laid off his over coat
and when he had got through with the
lunch the coat was no where to be found.
The case was reported to the police and
Officer Mcnamara, getting pointer as to
the fellow suspected, soon raked him in and
he was locked up. The same evening the
coat was found in the possession Of a color
ed man who had paid the thief $l.50 for it.
The colored man identified the prisoner as
the man who sold him the coat, and the fell
low neither admitted nor denied the charge.
He said he had baggage but wouldn't tell
where it was, nor would he tell who he is
nor where he came from. The police put
him down as one of the gang.
