STAND BY OUR HOME MECHANICS.

The EAGLE in the name of the board Of
trade and of many business men asked our
county commissioners 70 not put the Jail
on the public square, giving abundant
reasons for the request. II looks as if the
request is to fall fat. But that fact does
not deter US from another nearly as impor-
tant request Two hundred Thousand
dollars is TO be expended in a Jail and
court house. That money is our own. II
belongs 70 the taxpayers Of Sedgwick
county. Nobody else has claim on a cent
of it. 1t was placed in the hands OF the
commissioners to be expended for the sole
benefit OF the county and city, tina, is for
the benefit of the people Of this county
It was voted at this particular time that
its expenditure might go first 10 sustain
next to build up. Every cent Of that
money, and it is big sum, should be kep,
so far as possible in this county and among
ourselves and turned over and over from
contractor to mechanic. and from mechan-
ic TO HORSEPOWER, and from house-ovner
10 merchant and banker, and from n,ex-
chant and banker hack again 70
and mechanic until
it has paid debts agrexatinS
many times two hundred thousand, ard
days wages agyregating many times two
hundred thousand, and we still have the
bulk Of the money with u.s. In other
words, all the work should Be done in
Sedgwick county as far As possible. al the
material and labor be Of this county 50 far
Is possible The commissioners should
provide in their propositions for bids on
both ,aiI and co,,-< 6os,se that S~I~-,ek
county brick should be used and that all
he stone cutting should be done
n this coufy, etc. Better have

DIR. vINCENT'S LECTURE.

! Last evening the First Methodist church
was crowded to its utmost 20 hear the lee
turer DR.. j. II. Vincent, not only were the
seats all taken, but many were compelled
to remain standing in the aisles and rear
of the building. The fame of the great
divine had evidently preceded him; while
many who had in the past had an oppor-
! tunity of listening to him at Chautauqua
were anxious to hear him again upon the
theme with which he is so familiar and
of which he is the originator.
For more than an hour he kept the large
audience interested as he explained the
Chautauqua idea: telling of the good it has
in the past accomplished and what it will
do in the future; he answered, too, the
objections which have been advanced
against it. The object of the Circle, he says
is to furnish course of reading covering
much that is gone over in a college course
and while it may complete and round out
a college education it is meant in no way
TO supplant il or take its place. At school
the study Of languages and the mental dis
cipline to be acquired are the primary con-
siderations, history and biography being
but incidental. In the circle these are
studied and the education Of the college is
further carried out; the mother can thus
keep apace with the progress of her sons
collegiate studies, and the graduate can re-
view and keep up his studies of the past.
The speaker thought that the acquaint-
ance with literature and science to be &C
quired in the study of the course, is such
as will have tendency to inspire more
young people with desire for a college
L
itself very important. He spoke
with great feeling and tenderness OF the
college days, styling them as the happiest
and best OF life They are important years,
and il as many choose TO say a young man
is often ruined by associations there form
ed, it must not be forgotten that ne has
not the proper element of manhood in him
and would be an utter wreck at any rate
after ten years battling with the world.
He paid, too, a high tribute to the college
fraternity.
He answered the objections that many
have been brought against the system To
those who think that it interferes with
colleges he says they are mistaken for il
gives a desire for an education. Another
may say it lifts people above their bust
ness. II 10 give them higher ideas OF life
is TO lift them above their business the OBJ
lection is true He says it does not inter-
fers with religion. and If there be re-
ligion with which it does interfere it is so
bad that 1t ought not 20 live The system
may be superficial, but not superficial in a
bad sense
The lecture was throughout interesting. |
full of pathos, hun,or and wit, and resplen- |
dent with many beautiful Passages, APPLY |
put and most cieverly expressed

THE Saratoga Lyre, in its last issue,
speaks with a gooi deal of enthusiasm
about a Cheyenne gentleman but we very
cordially endorse every word that it saws.
Following is the arti,le: while in Raw
Inns on Monday lasbwe were glad to meet
and shake hands with Superintendent U.
Il. Wurtele. During a rather extensive
Wyoming journalistic experience We have
been brought into frequent and always
agreeable contact with Mr.. Wurtelc. Ever
in possession of the latest, mos definite,
and most reliable railroad information,
Mr.. Wurtele is ever courteous, kind and
considerate, and a visit to his Office is to
the reporter a source both of pleasure and
profit. To the discharge of the duties of
his official position Superintendent Wur-
tele brings the qualifications of genius.
He was born both organizer and executive.
He wins golden returns for the great COM
pany he serves, and golden opinions from
all men alike. His worth is fully recog-
nized and appreciated by those chief in
authority, and his advancement has been
steady and rapid, Young in years he is
old in trust. On the threshold of life he
grasps success. The highest honors in his
chosen career await Mr.. Wurtele.

WHO VIII 1T RER

Sherman or Gresham, Allison or Alger,
Depew or Harrison or James G. Blaine OF
Maine, who will be the Republican
standard bearer nominated at Chicago
this week? There never was a time in its
history when the Republican party was
confronted by a deeper problem than it
now has before it. Defeat at the polls
next November means an indefinite success
sion of defeats in subsequent national
campaigns; 1t means a loss of power and
patronage aud a possible disintcgration of
he party.
In the contest the Blaine men will
hold the whip hand of the situation.
If the man from Maine is not himself
nominated, his friends by ~rallying to any
o.her standard can name the nominee,
No one yet mentioned stands the ghost OF
a show of a nomination on the first ballot
and no one has yet been reckless enough
to hazard speculation as to what may fol
low the first formal ballot. New York.
New jersey, Connecticut and Indiana are
acknowledged to furnish the key to the
political contest next November. If
reason instead of sentiment should pre-.
vail the policy of course would be to nom.
mate someone who while holding
all the Republican states well
in hand will at the same time stand a re-
markably fair show of capturing the
doubtful states In the whole range of
republican possibilities they will find it
mighty difficult to nominate a ticket with
these requirements. Blaine, after all has
been said, comes nearest to fitting the bill.
In the big contest which has been
opened the Democrats have only a mega
tive interest No matter who may lie
nominated all the chances are in favor of
the Democratic nominees. The contest,
just the same, will be the ~icrcest known
for years. 1t will be the last expiring eff.
fort of the Republicans, who will fight
with all the energy Of despair.
