NOT PROPERLY REPRESENTED.

SO long as our city council are so nearly a
unit on all matters touching the general wei
fare and good of the city, and so long as each
councilman is patriotic and unselfish enough
to look as +igilantly after the interests OF
every other ward rs his own, the matter of
equal representation is probably of little con
sequence. but everyone must be cognZant of
the very unequal representation of the re-
spective wards III our city council. Take the
FIRST ward, which until very lately consti-
tuted about one-tbird of the population of
the city, aud it has had but One-fith OF the
representation The next legislature ought
to give us a new law for the governing of
cities OF the first class, or materially amend
the present one But in the mean time,
the present council ought to get ready
TO give us more councilmen or
to so rediStrict the city so as to make the
representation more equal In discussing or
weighing this matter we would make the
further suggestion that some cities have
found it very advantageous to have each
ward run from one end Of the city to the
other, each councilman being compelled to
represent suburban as well as business in
terests. Apply that rule to Wichita the
wards would be about three miles long and
run from north 10 south. However that
would make little difference probably if the
city was otherwise equally divided as to

DRAINAGE AND PAVING.

Timothy Coop, Esq, the prominent and
wealthy English gentlamen of whom the
EAGLE has made several mentions, and who
vet reu.ains in our midst, makes us friendly
| call occasionally. Mr. Coophas been great
! traveller. having not only been around the
world, bu5 having visited the principal cities
of the Orient, of northern Africa, Of Austria
liza, Europe and America, which places and
whose people be has studied with the eye OF a
shrewd observer and the intelligence of a
practical and successful business man. He
came out to Wichita to see it, expecting to
remain but two or three days, but he says
that the life and push of our people and the
celebrating influences Of our eli
mate are such that he is completely
captivated. and that he viii not return
to London before next spring and that he
hopes to be able to spend next winter here.
or all the places he ever visited, and not
withstanding he owns a grand old home just
a short ride out of London, he says he never
saw place where he would like to make a
home so well as here in Wichita. He pur-
chased. we understand, $50 coo worth OF the
lands of the Garfield University, and to help
out the founders Of that institution, rather
than as a speculation. The truth Is, II re-
ports be true. he has little cause to worry
0cer mere money making. But all this Is
not what we started out to say. 1t was this:
Mr.. Coop, in speaking yesterday of the
wonderful properties of the soil Of this val
ley and Of our peculiarly fine natural roads
and streets, said that there was no stone,
wood, cement, conglomerate or patented
pavement in the world that sur
passed the streets of Wichita. which
are composed solely of the natural soil. OF
course the old gentleman never traverscd
them in a rainy season, nevertheless his OBJ
servaton is true eleven months out of twelve
As TO our drainage he said that few great
cities Of the world. especially of Europe or
Asia. was 50 fagorabiy located for satIsfac
tory and cheap drainage as Wichita. The
Great Arkansas and It's swiftly moving cur
rent through the heart of the city was suf-
fcient answer on the drainage question to
any man who had Travelled and studded the
sanitation of the great cities OF the world.
Nr. Coop although more than three score and
ten Is IA sound. hale and very cordial English
gentlemen lie rides out almost daily for
the sake of the rare, dry, bracing atmos-
phere and the bright sunshine things partic-
ularly priced by men who have spent the
best portions OF their lives il smoky, foggy,
damp London.

RIGR LICENSE IN NEBRlsKa.
The Liquor Law TO BE Further
Tested in the COurIs.

OMAHA, NIB, January 26.-The
high license liquor law OF Nebraska,
which has been declared cobstitu.
tional in the State Supreme Court, is
to be tested futher as to its constitu-
tionality in the United States Supreme
Court by St. Louis liquor firm, who
two years ago cold larse bill OF goods
to ID. l.. McGucken of this city. Nc
Quicken refused to pay the bill, and
interpnsef in defense the plea that
the st. Louis firm had no license to
sell goods in Nebrasks, and, hence,
could not legally do business in Ne
braska. The high license Law pre-
yides that an applicant for license
must swear that he is OF good moral
character and resident OF the State.
The st. Louis firm could not comply
with the requirements, and their al
torneys maintained that the law was
unconstitutional, as it disregarded the
clause regarding interstate commerce.
The case was decided in the District
CURT in fayoriof the defendant, Nc
Quicken, and the Supreme Court af-
firmed the decision last summer. Tn %
St. Louis firm has row ordered their
attorney to appeal the case to tn
Unitsd States Supreme Court, the in
structions being based on recent de-
cision Of the United States Supreme
Count in somewhat similar case in
Michigsn-Samuel Walling va. the
State OF Michigan-in which local tax
alton OF transient statesmen was de-
clared unconstitutional.

TIE WOOL TRADE.
Increase I'm Imports from ForeIs N
Ports-The Home supply.

New YoRK, SANITARY 20 -Immisr /.
ton Commissioner Lynch, leading
wool merchant, has compiled the sta
tistics OF the wool trade for 1855. The
total amount OF wool received at this
port last year ives To-, G6S, 4S5 pounds
Of which 52,s09,7l0 were Of foreil n
production. The arrivals in 1884
amounted to Sl,5J7,(95 pounds; in
1888, 1851 $50, and in iSe2, "a s4s,-
$50. The increase is principally from
foreign ports. The report states that
growers have been discouraged by the
low prices for fine woods. In the near
States sheep have been slaughtered in
treat numbers, and the production of
the best qualities is considerably re.
duced. The severity of the winter of
1884 So caused the death of nearly
1000, 900 sheep in Texac. The clips
Of 1885 was 100000 pounds short of
tLat OF 1884. The outlook for m
terial increase the present year co.'s
not appear encouraging.
