THE OHIO GERMANS.

The Republicans of Ohio are largely
indebted for their victory 10 the Ger
man voters. This fact vindicates the
policy that they adopted years ago
and have constantly followed i'm re-
gard TO the liquor question. The Ger
man voters, as a class, are not in favor
of exemptiDg the liquor traffic from
taxation, while they are in favor of
honest national finances and of polit-
ical reform. They voted for the can
dilates of the party which proposes TO
regulate the liquor traffic by a reason
able license tax, that originated the
existing national financial system, and
that instituted the only reforms that
have become incorporated in the adj
minis. ION of the government.
The en-. ctmcnt of a valid law, levy
ing an adequate tax on the liquor
traffic something like the bigh-license
system in those states where il has
been adopted-has been one of the
main purposes of the Republican par
ty in Ohio. They have passed such
through the legislature,
one OF which was the Scott law, that
was sustained by the state supreme
court. By the political accident of
two years ago. however, couple of
Democratic judges were placed Oh the
Ohio supreme bench, by whose ac-
ton the previous decision of the
court was reconsiderel and revised.
The people of Ohio have now repudi-
ated the reactionary judges of its high
tribunal.
The German voters of Ohio have
shown by their action at the polls that
they approve the policy of the Repub-
lican party in relation to the whisky
traffic of that state. They are in favor
Of regulating il by reasonable taxation
and saluiary restraints. This is a
highly enlightened view of the subject,
and no doubt establishes the political
relations of the mass of German vot-
ars in Ohio for years TO .come.-Leay-
Times.

New Machine shops

ATcHIsoN, Kas., Oct 20.-The Missouri
Pacific railway have bought seventy acres of
additional land, joining their right Of way
near the fair grounds, at this place. which,
in addition to thirty acres already owned in
that vicinity. will be used as site for new
shops, foundry and car works, which it is
proposed to build at once. The present
shops, which are nesrear town, will be torn
down to give room for additional yards, and
the plant removed 70 the new site. The
present shops employ 300 men the year
around, but it is proposed that the new ones
will employ 1000 men, and will be not only
the largest railroad shops in Kansas,
but the largest along the line of the Mis-
souri, Pacific line They will cost $3.50, 900.
This investment was bid for by Kansas City,
Omaha, Leavenworth, Hiawatha and other
towns, besides Atchison, but when Jay
Gould inspected the site offered at Atchison
he at once gave orders to bny it, and its
purchase forever settles the controversy and
permanently fixes Atchison as the base of
the Missouri Pacific operations in the north
west. Besides the shops. orders have been
given for $4,000 hospital, to be erected
in the vicinity of the shop site.

THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.

In the National Convention of II Z
Woman's Christian Tempei ance
Union at ST. Louis last year Mrs. j
Ellen Foster, of Iowa, made trong
fight against the adoption of the reso.
luton approving of a third party
movement. She was outvote d in that
convention and the partisan resolution
was adopted. The Inter Ocean was
free TO say at the time that the con-
yention made great mistake. This
has been apparent in scores of incl
dents that have occurred since that
time. Mrs. Foster and some of the
best workers in the temperance move
ment were compelled for several
months 10 take back seats, as it were.
This was another mistake.
III ladies of any state have the RIGHT
TO speak on this question those of
Iowa have, and ii is significant that in

lion amendment that the men as we'll
as the women are against third par

was beaten in the ST. Louis convention
by votes from states in which little
had been accomplished for prohibition.
She triumphs in the state that has ac-
complished as mitch as any other in
prohibiting the manufacture and use
of intoxicating liquors--inter Ocean.

OHIO AND PROHIBITION.

To the Editor OF the EAGLE.
lake great interest in wichita, and
have sent number of persons there
since last spring. ! am especially
pleased with the Wichita EAGLE
like your straight forward way of
saying things in all your editorials.
believe you are thoroughly honest
and fearless in expressing your opin
ions-two essential "earmarks" of the
successful editor.
The elections in Ohio are now over.
and the "grand old party" has come
out victorious. Had Gov. Hoadly,
and Mr.. Halstead of the CONNER
cal Gazette. not come out so
"fiat-footed" against prohibition dur
ing the late campaign, the Democrats
would certainly have carried the state,
aud this leads me to remark that we
have a prohibition party in Ohio,
headed by DIR. A. B. Leonard, one of
the noblest and purest men that the
Lord ever made, which has come to
stay, and | beg leave TO suggest that
unless either of the old parties adopt
better temperance principles hereafter
they will eventually both 'go under"
And looking along the lines of po-
litical life we see beacon light rising
out of the chaos, calmly and serene.
reminding us Of the Latin fable about
the moon and the little dogs. When
the moon arose the dogs began TO
bark, but the moon moved on in her
majestic spieudor until the little dogs
barked themselves TO death. So the
prohibition party, backed by the
pow err of the Invisible, will move on
"unhurt amid the war of elements"
until she unfurls her triumphant ban
ners over both Republicans and Dem
ocrais. am Republican. Yours

THE PAUPsR QUESTION

When city becom,., noted abroad as q
booming place, it sooa becomes overrun
with lsborers and mechanics, who get there
generally dead broke. As matter Of course
they cannot all get work right away, and
are dependent on charity. Such was the
case here last winter, and such, from all sp-
pearances, will be the case this year
People who are jealous Of our prosperity,
and others who do not look about them for
the cause, make great parade of the num-
Der Of men who are idle in Wichita. The
fact is that none Of our own citizens who
wan: TO work are idle. The well known
charity of the people of Wichita has q
great deal TO do with lazy fellows-tramps,
hanging around. No one refuses them for
something to eat and they live high tor
months, from house to house. If they get
sick they are cared for, and there is hardly
q day that some impicunicus person is not
shipped back to friends in the east. These

The WaIkup murder trial q, Empo-

the United States district court in this

ness with which jury was empan-

long Imprisonment of the accused,

Although the Walkup case has had
wide publicity, 1T lacks the romantic
features of Nellie Bailey csse. and the
interest is correspondingly less, al

The Walkup trial is a great boom for
the Emporia papers, and the trial will
be watched with considerable interest.

on Senator Sumner by Preston ).
Brooks The assault was condemned
by al the civilized people of the coun-
try, who were not crazy Democratic

north as well as south. the conduct of
Brooks was applauded. At an indig-

The Bancroft Treaty.

much graver cause to endeavor to come to
a better understanding with the German

Bismarck has given evidence of his incress-
ing hatred of the United States by inter
preting the Bancroft treaty in the severest
manner against all Characterization
Those who know most about the subject say
II he could have his own way and dared
enter upon such q course the oppressive
edict which is now enforced against parties
In the northeastern provinces of Germany

which would be adopted against German
in the mother country who have
never rendered military service there. 1t is
stated that German-Americans of this class
in Germany have been notified that here
after their residence there must be limited
TO few weeks or months, and if they in
any particular during even that short time
become troublesome, they will be subject to
receive notice at any time to leave the

which the German government has taken is
in direct violation Of the spirit if not letter
Of the Bancroft treaty. II is surely this
which Minister Pendleton is

THE DIFFERENCE

The difference between the solid cash
value of real estate in this and Kansas City
is forcibly illustrated in the following: A
Kansas City real estate broker who had
been buying up real estate in that city, pay
ing l0per cent. down and the remainder IN
two years and upwards, judging from re-
cent developments thought Wichita was the
coming city, came down this week to COB
BILE up lot of real estate on the same terms
as be did in Kansas City, but he found
things shade different here. He even of
fered 10 per cent. cash on number of lots,
but it was no go. No one would take less
than 25 per cent. and most of them would
rather have the cash. Real estate in this
city is not begging for buyers

spoke clearly and forcibly on athe doctrine
Of the atonement.p He said it is the Christ

from theological subtleties, and sometimes
the name has been given to some systematic
theory of atonement, but the belief set forth
is the real doctrine Of atonement. l say at
once and without fear Of contradiction, no
theory or no scholastic explanation of atone
ment has ever been made except by all
creeds. Canon Farar closed by saying that
no failure ever has or ever can come Of the
effort to fathom Gods nature, but the IN
initely blessed results of atonement, We
know, are the eyes Of our Thanksgiving and
our life.

that they cannot pay the present prices for

either get cheaper freight rates or buy
cheaper wheat. The millers claim to be
