THE REIGN OF THE SALOON.

When such papers as the New York
Sun, New York Tribune, St. Louis Globe
Democrat and Chicago Inter Ocean, daily
and more boldly with each succeeding day,
are declaring that the saloon Interests dom
mate and control the politics of the cities
named to that extent that the only road to
political preferment is through the saloon,
and that the people are getting very tired
of the sway of whisky, we think we see a
cloud-a prohibition cloud. 1t may not be
bigger than mans hand but coming
from representative papers of the very hot
beds of whisky influence in America, there
is no mistaking the tsentiment back of that
little cloud. 1t is portentious. 1t has be-
come a byword and rcproach that no
party can win in any of our great cities
except by catering to and securing the sa-
loon influence. In truth, no official or ad-
dare make any move without
first by purchase securing this all-powerful
and corrupting influence The people Of
these cities are getting tired of the reign of
the saloon, and the papers named are being
forced to vOicea growing sentiment which
holds that America shall no longer be ruled
by such an interest.

THE RAW LIFE.
Refounded on a Rock,

From the Kansas City Star.
In these days Of defaulting cashiers ab
scOnding, ii naturally was source OF
alarm to policy holders in the Kaw Life
association, when its president and secre
tary were short time ago reported as hav-
ing abandoned their posts. 1t was forgot
ten that in this insurance company assess
ments are only made as fast as claims arise
in consequence Of deaths, and that there is
at no time any but the most trifling amour,
of cash in the hands of even its treasurer
and that it is therefore impossible for one
or more officials TO wreck the in
stitutiOn, were they ever so bent on
plunder- The policy holders in any
case are amply secured by the bond
OF $10O 900 given to the state by the trus
tees OF the company. However, the tom.
porary upset has resulted in the placing of
thoroughly competent and reliable men in
charge Of the 'Kaw Life" and 80 is veri
fed that old adagc that "out Of evil com.

MT. Charles Wilson, of the prominent
real estate firm of Wilson & Mead. and
president OF the Savings Bank of Kansas.
was at the recent re-organiz alton of the
Association, appointed its president and
Mr.. W. II. Ryus, of Wyandotte, whose
name is associated with every important
enterprise in that thriving city, as sccre-
tary. In the names and assured financial
positions OF both these thoroughly business
men, the policy holders, old aud new. have
handsome guarantee that the business of
the ksw Life will, in the future, be ably
and honestly conducted
There is not only nothing to conceal from
the public or the policy holders in the af
fairs of this company, but the new board
have actually by resolution invited the state
superintendent of insurance in Kansas to
make thorough investigation in order
that the members may be reliably informed
As to the true condition of the association.
A stronger list of officers or board of di-
reciors could scarcely have been chosen to
transact the business OF this important life
insurance association than the following:

secretary; F. T. Studley, treasurer Di-

AN APPEAL.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
We, the colored people, voters and tax.
payers OF Sedgwick county, wish to ask
through the columns Of the EAGLE, why
1t is that we are excluded or denied the
privilege of holding positions of honor and
trust in the community which we are mem.
bcrs. We are not represented upon the
police force, in the postoffice or in the coun.
Gil, in fact nowhere except as common la.
borcrs. Is it that we are incompetent. OF
what? Not bit of it; we have men among
us thoroughly qualified to hold any of the
above places mentioned. Give as a show
especially in the postoffice if nowhere else
gentlemen. You who have the power to
make these appointments see to it.
Very Resp'y SUBSCRIBER,
524 North Water street.
And all that. permit US to kindly sug.
gest. will amount to nothing. 1t is ability
capscity-that secures such places and po-
sitions rs are alluded, and ability and
capacity" do no, have to go begging
Tor places. They command places and
generally fix the compensation. If our
coisred people possessed the ability to run
this town they would do it. and in the alb
sence OF any appeal or demand. The
trouble with people who appeal is with
themselves and not with those to whom the
appeal is made.

MEADE CENTER BooNs.

| 10 tne kultOf OF tne Ed2Ie.
, Our fiourishing city is on building
boom such as is seldom to be witnessed in
a town without a railroad. Mr. Heber,
the president of the Meade County bank,
is having under way very fine eight room
residence, to be finished in great style and
beauty One of the Funk Bros is also
building nice home DR.. Adams, our
register of deeds, is repairing and beauti-
flying home for his family. F. E. Butler
has just finished conf -rtable house F.
P. Scott, of the firm of the same name, is
altering and finishing dwelling for home.
j. I. Palmer has repainted and added
blinds and porches to his residence. Mrs.
Skinner has just completed neat barn.
All of these buildings are in the north part
of the city. Residence lots can still be OBJ
tanned there
Last week the politicians greatly enjoyed
themselves. On Tuesday evening crowd
assembled at the hall to hear Hon. Tom
George of Wellington, the nominee of the
Democrats for congress from this district.
The gentleman's speech made favorable
impression. The grand event of the week
was the Republican rally on Friday night.
The hall was densely packed with eager
humanity, who listened with breathless
attention and frequent applause to Judge
Peters, Hon. Georges opponent in the
rac =
speech on the present position of the two
great parties, the subject Of the tariff. and
the labor question will long be remembered
by Meade Centre as combination Of happy
pleasantly, good natured ridicule and
sound logic That genial and affable gen
tle,nan, Secretary of State Allen, captured
us all with some amusing anecdotes and
appropriate and pleasing illusions. II. NJ.
Painter, Republican nominee for represen
tativc, and Mr.. Price, of Ashland, also |
made some interesting remarks. The
Fowler City and Meade Center bands dis
courscG sweet music, and the whole even
ing was a very enjoyable one TO all. If |
some of the individuals who think this new
town rough place could have been here
and seen the many ladies present and the
order and propriety, observed, they would
have given Meade Centre the credit she
deserves in having for majority of her
citizens refined and cultivated people

at our fair this afternoon To reach Cot

from Clay Center, an even hundred miles,
in twelve and half hours, or eight miles
an hour, starting at half past four o'clock
Wednesday evening. They changed horses

old plan. He is feeling first rate, not at all

The Democratic county convention of
Cowley county declares that they know
Tom Moonlight to be a sound Democrat.
The Democrats of Cowley are no doubt a
knowing set but when it comes TO the
politics of Tom Moonlight they are sadly
off. Politically Tom Moonlight was never
anything but would-be leader of the
bread and butter brigade. As long as there
was anything in sight for Tom Moonlight
he was just as rampant. a Republican as he
is a Democrat today. He is probably
abusing the Republican party now but he
can't do so more vchemently than he
has abused and vilified the Democratic
party III the past Tom Moonlight runs to
abuse and ALWAYS did.
