tia, as packing point, possessed many
advantages in this respect. 1t can
readily be seen if cattle can be shipped
from Texas and western Kansas to
Chicago in these new cars with
little or no loss in sirinkage,
that it will be a strong point III Chicago's
favor The difference in rates to Chicago
over western points has never initiated
SO much against that point as these other
disadvantages which we have enumerat-
ed. Shippers have not only lost heavily
in shrinkage by this long transportation,
but cattle have died in transit. If man
can load an entire train with beef cattle
and feed and water them in transit, as
can be done in these Burton cars, it
seems to us that the principal objections
to these long shipments are removed.
If we are correct it Will become neces~
sary for the more western packing points
to meet the apparent advantage named
thus given to eastern rivals by offsets in
other directions. This. Wichita at least,
will be able to do, as we shall show in
another issue,

KANSAS AND WICHITA.

A correspondent OF the New York
Evening Post who recently made a tour
of Kansas gives that paper his impress
sions of the state and Wichita in a COM
munication of which the following is a
part. He said:
"A ride into middle Kansas shows us
upon what the hope of her cities is
founded. If the little commonwealth
of the east are states, Kansas is an en-
pire: New York is only about five-eights
as large. And Kansas is an undiscov-
cred state, in all but its surface: even
that is not known fully as to its re-
sources: it will be wonder. indeed. if
the mineral bounties of Colorado and
Indian Territory are fenced off by the
boundary line of Kansas. The limestone
IS very common: the homesteads of Kan
sas are largely built with it. Surface

however, awaiting discovery, can

value will yet outweigh all the mines of

its features this city smacks of ambition

and completeness. The Board of Trade

BEATS THE BLAIR BILL.

The chief objection interposed to the
Blair educational bill is that it provides
for the undertaking by the general
government what should be left ex-
clusively to the states, that is the educa-
ticn of the youth of the country, an I'M
dertaking that will have the effect of en-
couraging mendacity rather than spirit
of selfreliance. This of course is met
with equally strong counter-argument
and with the additional forceful point
that it will afford the country of happy
solution, in large measure, of the vexa-
tious treasurer surplus problem and put
an end to the everlasting demagogical
tariff tinkering. Representative Enloe
of Tennessee takes advantage of the
situation to renew the proposition that
has been repeatedly made heretofore to
return to the producers the money raised.

THEY WANT A LARGER BUILDING.

The Washington Star OF Jan. %. says:
A conference was held in the Office of
the supervising architect of the treasury
this morning between the officials of
that Office and delegation of citizens
from Wichita, Kan. together with sew
sral members of congress. The subject
under discussion was the public building
at that city. for which an appropriation
of 800 600 was nude in 1886 Bids for
such a structure were opened a short
time ago, but the award of the contract
has been stayed by the action OF the
people of Wichita, who represent that,
while in 1856 the population of The city
numbered but 10000, it has since in
creased to 10000. AMI that a $4,000
building, such rs the plans would pro-
vide for, will be inadequate to the needs
of the city. Hence the conference
today. the result of which will be that
the bids will he held in apeyance and

CHEERING, INDEED.

To the Editor o. the Eagle.
The following is an extract from let
ter received by one of our business men
a few days ago from an eastern capital
list, and speaks for itself:
Gas the banks and all the factories
here have all paid or will pay good
dividend. l think that money will be
plentiful by March or sooner. as we now
begin to feel it here. Money in the
banks is getting easier and | am sure will
be seeking for investment. And as there
is nothing here to invest in. it will seek
investment in the west, and think that
Wichita will have greater boom by
March or April than ever before,
and while have a good deal of property
there. had rather buy up all | can than
sell unless can get full price for it.
shall advance the price on all my proper
ty at Wichita about the first of February
or take it out of the market. as l would
rather buy than sell, and if l can sell in
other places l shall buy at Wichita"
Scarcely day has passed for the past
three or four weeks that has not brought
similar cheering notes from the east
Evidences multiply daily and of unmis-
taxable character that Wichita will ex-
perience a season of prosperity during

COSTS OF GOVERNMENT DEPART
MENTS

The senate, says the Boston Traveller,
is very expensive body to the people.
The salaries of the seventy-six senators,
each with clerk, amounts to $3.50, 600,
and then it costs $4,000 year to pay
their mileage fees. The horde of officers
and employees foot up the enormous sum
of $3A, 1872. Among the items in the
contingent expenses account is one trifie
of $4,000 per annum for reporting the
proceedings and debates of the senate,
and 49, 600 to carry on such special in
designations as may be ordered. The
total amount of the salaries of the MEM
bers OF the house of representatives is
81 ,695, 900, and the mileage $110,62i
There are about 200 employees of the
house. and their salaries amount
to nearly $500, 900. The government pays
S4S, 625 annually for stationery for the
members. The state department is the
least expensive of all. 1t asks for total
OF $15s, 45O to worry through the year.
The 1900 employees of the treasury de-
partment, and the contingent expenses
for the same, will require So, 1862 ,0a7.
The interior department asks for S.,
1900, an increase of about $500, 1000
more than was appropriated last year.
The postoffice department expects to re-
ceive about $780,, 600, while the depart
ment of agriculture will require $l,046,-
92o to carry on its Washington opera
lions. Attorney General Garland has
the smallest number OF employees of any
cabinet officer, and he thinks he can get
along very comfortably with S1SA,650.
In all it viii take sis, s52,7 95 TO keep

ties treasury records:

1t Will be observed that the bulk of
the money involved in this scheme
would go to the southern states. but
could not be used for any beneficient
purpose in general way, such as is
contemplated by the Blair bill. for the
reason that the Enloe bill provides that
the money be paid to the producers,
meaning the farmers.
We do not care to follow the proposi-
ton Just now further than to state that
in our opinio on the amounts of money so
disbursed would be tantamount TO a
gift. in a large majority of cases. to
those who would receive it. for the
reason that the taxes were paid in most
cases, not by the producers. but by
spectators. those who held the cotton
after it passed out of the producers
hands. Then another complication
would arise in the distribution of the
money. and that is TO determine who the
producer was, whether the man who
owned the land or the man whose labor
produced the crop: at least that portion
of it produced between the first of Jam
uary. 1868. and the close of the war.
Just one other point: If the cotton tax
is refunded why not the tobacco tax.
and all the other internal taxes:
We venture to predict that should the
Enlue bill become law-which is not
prohable-it would be followed ND by

The Presidents Feast.

N
What free trade has done in England
for the working classes can be told in a
few lines. The pauper class in England
numbers 100000 in i population Of 34.-
600, 900. or one in nearly every five is
counted as a pauper. Fourteen million
five hundred thousand persons receive
less than 81. 30 per week. Most laborers
have but four days employment i'll a
week. Agricultural wages were never
lower. and there are millions in England
who have fresh meat upon their tables
only once week or once a fortnight.
These are the facts that Sir Edward Sui
Ivan writes to the London Post This
is the feast to which President Cleveland
and his free trade followers invite the
workingmen and farmers of the United
