revenues are to be added to the gen.
eral business of Wichita.
The promised advent into
Wichita in the near future of
three of the leading trunk lines will
be OF for greater benefit than can be sur
missed Besides the actual money they
will expend here in the construction and
subsequent operation of these lines, the
roads contemplated, will give Wichita
advantages she does not now possess.
The one which was announced by a
special from New York to the EAGLE
as having determined to build intoWich-
tia is the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
This roads coming here means great
many dollars to Wichita and Southwest
Kansas, for the reason that she can
bring us lumber direct from the lumber
districts, into. which line extends,
with the advantage of long and direct
haul straight to Wichita. The Union
Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, which are contemplating extern
sions to Wichita during the present
year, will be of immense benefit to this
city and section.
Wichita and Southern Kansas have
during the past few months become bet
ter understood and their true
merits more thoroughly appreciated
than ever before. The outlook for a
magnificent crop year, was never before
more favorable than at the present time.
Cattle never were in healthier or more
marketable condition at this season of the
year. Hogs have been free from disease
for more than year and the
number to market this year will be such
as to astonish the most observant stock
men. Wichita will have an opportunity
this year to make a splendid showing of
her inexhaustible resources at an exposi-
ton of her own which, in point of merit.
should equal the displays at any similar
places.
AT the beginning of the year 1887, the
EAGLE gave recapitulation of the
growth of the city and her tributary sec
ton, and with a degree of timidity ex-
pressed the opinion that the year 1881
would be productive Of as great results
as was 1886. Now there is no need fo1
any hesitancy in asserting that the
growth of Wichita during thr year 1885
will be even greater than during 1887.
whether Oklahoma be opened or not
Already the contemplated activity in
building is beginning to assert itself, and
there is every certainty that not only
will the volume of Wichita's business fol-
1883 far exceed that of 1887, but her sub
stantial and material growth will be the
greatest known to any year of her his.
tory, and we stand ready to be PLACED
upon record as making this prediction.

Well may the question be asked, ''Is

They have no beginning, and they have

air that everywhere exhilerates-the

cloudless skies by night; the bewildering

Canadian annexation is one of those
questions which, while not likely to re-
suit in anything practical, will continue
to be discussed and be seriously consid-
cred by some people on both sides. The
people of Canada are not a unit in their
desire for such a contamination. and if
they were the citizens of the United
States are not in mood to increase their
national debt by assuming that of the
Dominion, which would be condition
precedent to any sort of alliance or
union.

That was funny sort of excuse the
attorney for Cincinnati packing con-
Germ offered before the senate committee
on food authorizations the other day, for
that concerns objection to labelling its
lard packages. when it was discovered
that the product offered in the market
was composed exclusively of beef fat
and cotton seed oil. He said the Gus
toners of his concern preferred their
article to pure hog lard, but objected to
the label because they were not used to
it. If that be true it may be taken as
one Indication that mind is stronger than
matter. The association of ideas has
peculiar effect upon some peoples tastes
and appetites.

A statement is going the rounds of the

been formed in Chicago for the purpose
of removing the famous, or rather in

gested by the great success that has at
tended the panoramic exhibition of the
battle of Gettysburg set up in that city

Since the arrival of Brooks, ST., the

The dispatches this morning announce
a ruction between the anti-poverty cham
pions, George and McGlynn, the latter
declaring that he is no longer in sympa-
thy with the plans and purposes of
George and his followers. The deposed
priest is a pretty shrewd fellow, as to
theories, and so is George, and if he
assays to measure lances with the latter
gentleman by attempting to call after
himself the following of the two, the
chances are that he will get left. The
breakup will enure to the benefit of the
Republican party and consequent disad-
vantage of the Democrats.

Congressman Dockery has withdrawn
from the race for governor of Missouri
before the race is cleverly started. This
virtually leaves Governor Morehouse a
clear track, for the slime being, though

men in Missouri to permit thing of that
kind to occur. Moreover, the day has
passed when Democratic nomination in

A number of cities i'm Washington
territory held elections last week. and il
is given out that most of them will be
contested on the ground of illegality
consequent upon the female vote cast,
although that vote was smaller than at
previous elections. If taken into the
courts the cause will no doubt receive a
setback. The Wisconsin supreme court
decided last week that the law comforting
the right to vote in school affairs does
not give women the right to vote on
other matters. The law defined the right
conferred, but they claimed the right to
vote conferred by the Legislature could
not be limited to single issue. Ii was
contended that if the right was given to
women TO vote for school officials they
could also vote for other officials. The
supreme court of Wisconsin has upheld
the officers of the elections who refused
20 receive the women's vote. Ii is more
than propable the same result will be
reached in Washington territory.

The effect of such amounts as these in
dustries will add to the money in circu-
lation here can not be appreciated until
it actually begins to circulate. There
are many good towns and cities of the
eastern and central states, whose leading

larger than any one of those referred to,
here in Wichita, and which serve as the
basis of good towns containing from 3. 900
to 10000 people.
which grew as did their leading indus
tries. But here in Wichita we have the
advantage of all of these combined.
Another advantageous feature is found
in the fact that Wichita's enterprises are
so diversified that her measure of sue
cess is not solely dependent upon the
condition of any particular market, as is
the case with city which depends for
its substance wholly upon any special
line of business.
For these reasons the business of
Wichita Will in the future be steady and
uniform. one class will equalize another.
Wichita's ten or a dozen colleges and
universities. with the several thousand
students attracted from outside the city.
will be equal to as many good mauufac-
turing establishments. viewed from a
commercial and financial aspect. TO say
nothing of rhe immense advantages de-

cations cheaply at home and also pre-
vents their money from beng expended
