NAL school building at Concord,
S., 600 for the same purpose at Glen
vile, and $4,000 TO repair the re-
cent Capitol building at Wheeling
The State tax was fixed, as usual, at
20 cents, but an additional. tax of 5
cents was laid for the purpose of
completing and repairing the public
buildings of the State. Had the tax
bill passed there would have
been no necessity for the 5 cent levy
for building purposes. The new tax
bill, by getting the personal proper
ty, now escaping taxation, on the
books, together with the new license
law which was passed, would have
led to reduction rather than an in
crease of the State levy. 1t must be
horne In mind in this connection
that the State owes something more
than 100000, for the payment OF
which the Constitution makes it the
plain duty of the Legislature to pro-
vide.

There now seems to be no doubt
of the appointment of Jno. L. Nc
Graw for collector of internal reve-
nue. for this State. The appointment
will be matter of satisfaction to our
people generally. Mr.. McGraw is a
shrewd young lawyer and man of
excellent business qualifications.
He had more endorsements from his
own State than any man who has yet
been appointed to any position. He
had the Senators and the congress
ional delegation solid and a majority
of the members of the Legislature,
beside testimonials from leading
men in every county in the State.
His appointment is heartily endorsed
everywhere. Even the friends of his
opponent now concede his appoint
ment to be the best that could have
been made.

Editor Horner, of the Parkersburg
Sentinel, is an applicant for the po-
sition of Postmaster at Parkersburg,
and we hope he may succeed in OBJ
tanning the appointment. He is an
obliging and clever gentleman, in
every way qualified for the place,and
has done his party valuable service
Not only this, but he is prominent
member Of useful and honorable
profession which has heretofore re-
ceived too little recognition at the
hands of successive State and ma
tional administrations. - Fairmont

So say we all of us. If Mr.. Cleve-
land wants to recognize the Press of
West Virginia. and merit its appro-
baton, let him make this appoint
ment. 1t will add additional credit
to the reputation he has already at
tanned for good judgment in the mat
ter of appointments. We hope to
see Bro. Horner's name in the next
batch of nominations, now that Mr..
Cleveland Is giving his attention to
postoflices.

In view of the many excellent
appointments made by the new adj
ministration it occurs to us that too
much Importance is given to Hig-
gins, the small clerk in the Treasury
Department Higgins is Balti-
more politician, and Baltimore ma.
chine politicians are noted for their
wickedness. They have been unsav-
DRY since the days of Know-Noth-
ingism. Still Higgins may be a
dog with worse name than he de-
serves. He is charged with ballot
box stuffing and other offenses
against free suffrage that entitle
him to place in the penitentiary if
guilty. Perhaps as political
worker Higgins has exaggerated
his own Importance. He should
take some steps to disprove the
serious charges made against him.
If they are true as represented he
should drop out of sight. At all
events there is something too much
of Higgins. Perhaps it is due to
the fact that they take things Sc
riously in Baltimore World.

ELECTRICITY AND GAS

/ From a note received il may be that the
spirit Of the communication on gas appear
ing yesterday morning WAS not understood
The EAGLE is for home men and home en-
terprises and will stand by them as against
all corners. We want, nevertheless, all
such new enterprises AS can legilimately live
without breaking down those already estab-
iished. This may seem a little conservative.
We mean this: The EAGLE would not be
in favor, for instsuce Of granting anybody
a new franchise for street railway which
would ruin the one We already have. II
wouldn't be wisdom; it wouldn't be Just. Ex-
perts say that Wichita has the finest gas
plant of any city in the state. The gas is
furnished ct price which, all things con-
sidered, is very low. The money was put
into the plant only because of the promise
that tho product would find market in the
future growth Of the city. So far the works
have not paid, for they cost between thirty
and forty thousand dollars. The proprie-
tors have more than kept their word with
Wichita. Now to take from that company
the privilege of lighting the streets and turn
1t over to somebody else wouldn't be right.
II any other gas or electric company can
ind support here Independent and over
and above the present interest, well and
COED. In these words we are not fighting
any electric company, but keeping faith
with those who have kept faith with our
people.

PORK PACKING.
A Chicago Packing Company Embark in {

A Chicago Packing Company Embark in tn
Busiaess in Wichita.
Attention Of the EAGLE has been repeat
edly called to the necessity of establishing il
this city pork packing house and th,
opening offered in that direction. So lsrg,
an amount of live hogs are shipped from
/ here to eastern and northern cities that tn,
wonder is that before this there has been ne
effort made to bring the enterprise Of pack
ing right here. This want is to be filled il
part this fall, and it is hoped will result in
the establishment of full industry in thai
direction.
A Chicago packing company have rented
ofthe Citizens Land company the packing
house formerly owned by NJ. Stewart, and
will open it for business in two weeks
They will add to the building at once and
put it in shape with a capacity to slaughter
100 head daily.
A country SO rich in products
of corn as southern Kansas can
procure the position of foremost importance
in pork, and that it should be manufactured
into marketable commodity here is self,
evident A statement Of the number Of liv
hogs shipped from this city and vicinity
would astonish even the most enthusiastic
boasteE On the products of the Arkansas
valley, When this is turned into pork
RICH. at home and sold in wholesale quanti-
ties to the trade, Wichita will have achieved
an important step towards that greatness
which she is destined 10 achieve.

AN IMPORTANT VISITOR

The EAGLE was hcrJred by call from
Hon. W. p. Robinson las evening, who wa!
accompanied by bis son, C. l.. Robinson
and by Mr.. J. II. Slater As is known by
some of our people, Mr.. Robinson is th,
president of "The Bank of Wichita" oul
city's newest moneytary institution, but
very few Of our readers are probably aware
of the fact that Mr.. Robinson is one of The
Oldest and most prominent railroad men in
the west, having been one of the original
builders of the Hannibal & ST. Joseph. 70,
eight years the general traffic manager OF
the NJ. h. q T., and, at present, one of the
owners of the St. Louis & Texas Railway,
He is not only intimately acquainted with
all the great railway managers of the west,
but thoroughly conversant with the re-
sources Of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and
Texas, and with their railway facilities.
Because Of this conversancy, he chose
Wichita cut OF all the prominent and grow
ing towns Of the states mentioned in which TO
establish a banking Institution. After
spending few months at his home and
quietly studying the situation over, he be
came more than convinced that his choice
was a sound one. OF course we talked rail-
road, weighing probabilities ard estimating
possibilities, and were gratifed in finding the
ideas and conc.usions of man Of such va
ried and large practical experience so close
ly coinciding with thu views and ambitions
of the EAGLE. As FOR Wichita, Mr.. r. said be
thought up TO three or four years ago that
the great city Of the state would be some
where in the northeast quarter Of the state.
but that the rapid and splendid develop
ment Of the Arkansas valley had settled the
question and IN favor Of Wichita.
Mr.. X. goes east this morning, but says he
has become so identified with, and attached
70 the great west that we would probably
zee him here quite often. We hope so.

IN THE TENT.

The only thing about Wichita to REMIND
one of the far west, is the constant travel o
the emigrant wagon through its streets, ant
large number of campers that may be con
stantly seen on the fats and vacant lots il
the Fifth ward
An unusual number of engs.nts passed
through the streets yesterday; an unusual
number are still Il camp in the Fifth ward
One day q rassieade rolls out for the fal
west, and ii night the same camp fires are
ut Tor their successors. The white covered
farm wagon is a familiar sight 10 the old
settler, and tells tale of hardy pioneering
that they have experienced. The march OF
empire has been the emigrant wagon bear
ing to The wilds race of hardy yeomanry
that make the Wild places blossom like the
rose, and found cities and towne that tor
all time shall honor the enterprise
and foresight of their ancestors.
A familiar picture of genuine outfit
passed down Main street yesterday afternoon
that is worthy Of description. Two la rdy,
scrubby looking mares, a venerable wagon
with weather beaten cover, two lead
horses, four dogs, three colts, and man
bringing up the rear, woman driving the
team, and the wagon cover, looped up on
the sides, disclosed among household goods
a wagon hslf full of children from two
years old up to twelve, like stair steps, peep
ing out from under the wagon cover like
chickens from under the wing of a brooding
hen. The sun shone brightly down on them
and they looked open-eyed and happy out
on the th-ong of people who stopped to
gaze on the oddly equipped emigrants. The
reporter reflected moment on the destina-
ton of this family and soliloquised thus
There is room for these people and such q
they in Kansas; land, crops, stock, and above
all else, health and happiness. Turning to-

BEHIND THE PROCESSION

The country directly tributary TO kansa
City is immensely ahead Of the city. Tall
about mushroom growth Kansas CITY
ought to have 100000 more people all max
ing a good living. We will have TO traye
mighty fast to keep up with the country. l
Kansas City will only take hold of the boon
in the right way, there are wonderful things
in store Tor ber.-kansas City Times.
No doubt Just what the EAGLE has beer
saying al along. The idea Of Missouri
town Of 100000 people playing the metropo
lis for great progressive state like Kansas
even penetraies the hide OF the Times as be
ing something more than ordinarily foolish
As for Kansas City taking hold of any boon
we suggest that the Paola link and the per
manent exposition be first disposed Of. An
other daily train from Wichita 20 the con
nections at the Ksw's mouth, is being wait
ed for very patiently BY Wichita.

EAGLES DON'T coRw.

The spring chicken which has been named
Wichita, has more neck and legs than pooy,
but il has signs of game blood. Listen 10
this chirp:
Kansas CITY is good place for Phil Armour
10 stick and gut his pigs and skin nlt cattIe
and work up his ofal. but entirely lnaae9na.e
IN meeting the demands OF the higher civiliza-
zion being developed and msintained IN the
progressive state of Kansas.
This sentence comes from the bros WIND
pipe, the Eagle, which is yet bit rough
from early attempts to crow. Phi Armour
lives in Chicago and doesn't mind u
allusion TO his alleged business and Kansas
CITY enjoys limitations of her own early
styie.-Kansas City Times,
Oar Missouri friend is not up in orni-
thology. evidently. The EAGLE don't crow
nor attempt to- II screams, and is, there
fore, no chicken. Flsttering as is the assnr-
ance that its scream reaches the perlicus oil
the windy wonder, yet we take pleasure IN
assuring the willy Times that our gentle voice
has even penetrated the Chicago marble
palace Of Phil Armour, the hog-man, who
claims that from his desk he controls the
animal-food market of the world. Philip Is
gorgeous old gentleman who believes that
tho reaF end OF bis packing house ct Kansas
CITY. is the end Of the world-ne plus ultra.
He comedies that Chicago and St Louis
took the hog business from Cincinnati, and
that Kansas City is taking the same business
from Chicago and ST. Louis. but cannot con-
ceiye how the same combination Of things
can possibly take the business to any point
farther west. Phil Armour would be cute
il less sclf-conscious. Phil Armour's love
for Kansas as yet, is confined to Kansas hog
pens. Shapes of the tails and shoots OF
Kansas pigs can be seen all about the marble
OF his gorgeous edifice, and the
living light Of the eyes of those same pigs
illuminate the countenances of his four hun
lred clerks. Phil don't even know that
superior being can exist west of Armour's
Kansas CITY smoke-stacks, and believes that
he Almighty marks the course of the
mighty muddy, only with reference TO
armordale and he waste matter of its pack |
ing houses and pens.
The EAGLES wind pipe, as the Times sug-
yests, may be BIT rough, but that paper
mus. remember that Phil Armour is bulling
he lard market, and that grease is, therefore,
extensive
