eating House in BeriIsl.

] visited an eating house in Berlin
which for primitiveness is rather ahead
OF anything else / have seen in the world.
The dining table consisted Of a log in
which eighteen cavities appeared at rcgu-
lar intervals. Each cavity WAS Of about
the size Of large soup bowl. and fast
ene1 near every ore was big iron spoon
attached to the log by ar iron chain.
The method Of dining was neither com
plicated nor prolonged. il table d'hote
dinner, consisting of one course, which,
by the way, was the only dinner served
in the house. cost five pfeuuigs- about
one cent and 4 quarter Of our coin. The
diner enters and planks down his money
before taking his seat. Then be chooses
one of the broad cavities, seizes the iron
spoon and waits for the waiter That
functioDary is usually sort of a Pooh
Bah, combining in himself the duties Of
cashier, proprietor, head waiter and
bouncer in chief.
After the guest is seated the waiter
walks up TO him bearing two steaminc
cans and asks. shortly: Thick or clear
soupf" The diner usually, after shifting
the fumes If the cans and giving the
matter weighty consideration, makes his
decision, and then the factotum fihs up
the nearest cavity with soup, turns on
his heel and washes his hands ~ all fur
ther consideration. / did not gain the
impression from casual inspection that
tho waiter had ever washed his hands ia
any other than flgurative sense. The
diner scoops the soup out of the hole in
tho log with his iron spoon, and, having
thus dined wisely and welt, 10 promptly
ordered ont by tho bounoer in chief.

Wichita eagle., 1888-08-29

by this city and county upon public
buildings and other improvements cal
culated to enrich or impoverish the citi-
zens thereof: Are the taxes paid to
| maintain our courts SO much money
| thrown away? What taxes are volun-
tariy voted or levied by any sensible
people, except with the idea that the
investment will in one way or another
be profitable?
Nearly every article sold in the stores
has a tax added to its first cost in the
shape of freight for the benefit of some
transportation company. Without this
freight levy railroad transportation
would be impossible. Do not the citi-
zens of Wichita make profit out of
what they pay i'll freight charges? There
is scarcely anything of nature calcu-
lated to benefit the general public that
can be maintained without some farm of
taxation. And while taxes may be. and
sometimes are, foolishly laid, and pub
lie money oftensquandered, ON the whole
no money is invested that yields SO large
return, for the amount laid out, as that
paid to the taX-gatherer.
The tariff is undoubted tax, although
it does not by any means bear as hard
upon the people as Mr.. Thurman asserts.
1t does not follow, because it is tax,
that it may not be source of wealth.
Whether this particular kind of taxation
is on the whole, proper Or profitable
one, is the very marrow Of the contro-
versy. The Republican party maintains
that it is both proper and profitable be-
cause, since certain amount of money
must be raised the system now employed
is the least burdensome and at the same
time is the most equitable, of any that
the wisdom of man has yet devised.

REPUBLICAN RUsTLERs.
The Sedgwick County Canvass and
What the Ticket is Like,

There are men and men, so there are
| tickets and tickets. As men Of the same
household of faith differ, SO tickets of
the same party from year to year often
istic essentials. The Sadgwick county
Republican ticket for this year, for in
stance, is ticket of rustlers. Conserv-
ative fogyism finds no representative
among the men who constitute it. The
political environments were such as to
bring the rustlers to the front and to Sc
cure their nomination. There is not a
sleepy man on the ticket. Every one Of
them thoroughly believes in the efficacy
of work, and not one of them but that
is as thoroughly convinced that
the happiness and prosperity of
this country depends upon
Republican success as he is that air is
necessary to life. To them home pro-
lection is just as sound doctrine for the
nation as is the home protection which
demands that county and city contracts
shall be let to home people, and that the
law which protects the home manufac-
turer and the home markets of America
is but another phaze of the SAME spirit
and rule which votes bonds for home
improvement, or which offers a bonus
to the manufacturer or other industry to
locate at our home. And the Republican
ticket not only consists of unusually
wide-awake rustlers, but of earnest, IN
firing men: men Of more than ordinary
activity. For genuine enthusi-
asm, for that species Of pub
lie feeling which involves hope
for party success, love of country and
sanguine labor for desirable ends there
are at least four or five men on the Sedg-
wick county Republican ticket who
could hardly be equalled from among
all the men In our ranks. But Bentley,
Douglass, Phillips, Boyle, Luling, Morris
Buckner and Pence. every one of them
are host in political canvass, while
Van Ness for business solidity and care
ful consideration of the peoples interests
cannot be surpassed, if equalled, by any
man in the county without regard to
party. The Democrats will even &C
knowledge to that much.
So we are going to have lively county
canvass this fall, the livlIest probably in
all our history. These men couldn't
conduct any other than lively canvass.
They will come up nearer the standard
OF the political faith and spirit of the |
EAGLE, and nearer the triumphant en-
thusiasm which has characterized the |
the history of this county and the growth |
of this city, than any set of men prob
ably ever before chosen as the banner |
bearers of the Republican party of
Sedgwick county.
Hurrah, then, for this ticket of Re-
publican rustlers, and twice hurrah for
the sweeping victory which will in No
vember sanction the wisdom of its choice |
and crown its successful work.

The Kansas City Times inspired its
candidate for the Democratic nomination
Tor governor of Missouri with so much
confidence of success that he declined,
Early in the campaign, to be considered
candidate for reelection to congress
from his district. That circumstance,
together with the fact that he received
only eight votes out of the four hundred
and seventy in the convention. COM
pieteiy flattens him out. Politically and
officially Mr.. Glover is a minus quantity.
As to the Times, its position is neither
new nor novel. Its faculty for choosing
the losing side, and its tact for shifting
10 the winning side after its being de-
feated, prevents any particular enbar-
rassment under circumstances such as
environ il just now.

Because the senate exercised its prerog-
ative and its plain duty in investigating
the qualifications Of Mr.. Cleveland's ap-
pointee to the supreme bench, the great
Courier-Journal charges the Republican
senators with cowardice and dishonesty
and with obstructing the business of the
supreme court, but the fact that the ap-
pointee refuses to qualify and.enter upon
the discharge of the duties to the posi-
ton to. which he has long since been
confirmed by the so-called obstruction
lists is too small matter~f for the senates
censor to speak of. The editor of the
potential Louisville paper should call for
detail from his hundred thousand
unarmed Kentuckians," arm them with
proper credentials and send them out in
search Of the recalciterant jurist, that
the pressing business of the supreme
judicial tribunal be not longer INSTRUCTED
by the-whatever it may be called-of

THOSE ERRONEOUS CLEARANCES
The Imputation of Falsehood Thrown
Upon the "Critic"

The Imputation Of FalsehOod Thrown
Upon the Critic"
The Kansas Financier.
Considerable has been said by the
financial journals published in the east
regarding the alleged erroneous bank
clearances of Wichita, Kansas. 1t has
been denied by the president of the clear
ing house and also by the manager of
that institution that the debts and
credits are added together, as charged,
and sent out according to the regular
form.
The editor of the Financier visited
Wichita on Monday of this week and
called upon Mr.. Walker, vice president
of the Citizens bank, and president of
the clearing house, who gave us the fol-
lowing letter to Joseph Bowman, man
ager:
WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 20, 1855.
J. BOWMAN, Manager:
This will introduce Mr. Ewing, of the
Kansas Financier. He would Ike a state
menU of your clearings. He is particular
anxious to know if you report debit and
credit. We want the truth told about US.
Yours respectfully,
C. a. WALKER, Pres.
This would indicate that 1t is the in
tention of the banking houses OF Wichita
to report their clearances correctly, and
that they are perfectly willing to show
their books to the public. Mr. Bowman
stated that he was willing to swear that
the debts and credits were not added to-
gether aud reported, and that the plan of
telephonlng from bank to bank, as re-
ported in the Philadelphia Financial
Critic, was entirely without foundation.
Thus the imputation of falsehood is
thrown back upon the Philadelphia
Critic, which was the first journal to
make any statements in regard TO the
bank clearances of Wichita We will
have something more to say on this sub
iect in our next issue.

As sort of apology for the operation
Of the Mills bill, should it by any chance
become law, the defenders OF that
measure claim that it only reduces the
revenue about $50 ,O00, 600; but they don
tell that nearly half of that reduction is
effected by the transfer of articles on
which duty is now paid to the free list.
Still they deny that it is free trade
