THE RESTORATION OF MT. VERNON.

The history of the Ladies' Mt. Vernon
votive offering rarely equaled in the an
mails of any country in the world. The
patriotic appeal of southern woman to
the women of the land to purchase the
Mt. Vernon estate and hold it forever
sacred to the memory of the ''father of
his country" struck a responsive chord
in the hearts of all the people.
Mrs. Cunningham, the southern ma
iron" an invalid all her life, devoted
herself to the object, which she stated
thus;
"We would restore Mt. Vernon to
what it was when his eyes last looked
upon it. We would fit it up as an illus
tratlon of the grand simplicity Of his
common life-a shrine, unadorned save
by the bright memories which encircle
it, to which patriot hearts from all parts
of the world will delight to turn in love,
respect and reverence. Over the ashes
of Washington we would raise no sculp-
tured pile. That humble grave at Mt.
Vernon. which scarcely merits to be
called cenotaph, that homestead in
which he lived and died, we would sim
ply preserve and perpetuate, for the
credit of our country, as the most fitting
memorial of our Washington"
This purpose has been faithfully kept
in mind until all the buildings have been
restored except one. This is brick
building used for servants quarters. 1t
will cost $1,000 to rebuild it. 1t is pro-
posed to raise this amount in the schools
of Kansas, both as a trophy of her
growth and progress, and also as les
son in history and patriotism to the
youth of the state. A tablet will be
placed in tho walls, marked, Restored
by the schools of Kansas" Names of
contributors will be enrolled in a book,
to be kept at Mt. Vernon.
a computation of the amount assessed
against this state to the number of pupils
in daily attendance in the schools shows
that an average contribution of one mill
each will raise the required sum. The
schools of Wichita and Sedgwick county
are, We understand, preparing to not
only observe Washington's birthday,
Thursday of next week in an appropri-
ate manner otherwise, but will make
the feature of the occasion above de-
scribed special one.

SHOWING THE CLOVEN FOOT.

The Topeka Democrat has been raw
ing and cavorting over the prospect of
the extension of the metropolitan police
law to all cities of the first class in the
state, by amending the present law or
enacting another for that purpose by
the present legislature, but that paper
has just learned from what it says is
good authority that certain senators
who have favored the bill are now salts
fled to make certain changes and modifi-
cations in the law governing cities of the
first class, which are demanded by the
interested, and to leave the metropolitan
police law untouched upon the statute
books, at least SO far as extending its OPP
erations to all cities of the first class is
concerned" In view of the changed
prospect the Democrat smooths down its
ruffied feathers and becomes as mild and
amiable towards the legislature as COO
lag dove. 1t mildly, very mildly, COM
miserates the three cities that have been
outraged by having the right of self-gov
eminent wrenched from them and the
iniquity mentioned fastened upon them,
but admits in substance that it is willing
for it to remain upon them If only To-
peka can escape. That is just about as
much sincerity as we suspected the bold
champion of freedom possessed. With
it it hasn't been matter of principle at
all, but simply expediency, policy.
If the law is not made to apply to all
cities of the state that come within its
provisions as to population, then the
EAGLE renews its demand, in the name
of this city, with its 10000 inhabitants,
and 200 Republican majority, that the
law be repealed; not that Wichita be eX-
empted from its operation simply, but
that it be wiped from the legislative en-
actments absolutely.

DRESSED BEEF IN THE EAST.
New York Times.

New York Times.
The legislature is asked in bill intro
duced by Senator Cantor to prevent the
sale of western dressed beef in this state.
The pretext is that the beef is sometimes
diseased and that the people can be pro-
tected only by the inspection of the live
cattle by local officers. The butchers asso-
citation. which is the father of the bill,
desires to substitute for the transporta-
ton of dressed beef in refrigerator cars
from western slaughter houses to the
cities of this state the shipment of live
cattle over the same roads. While the
prompters of the bill talk virtuously
about sanitary precautions they also de-
nounce the combination of slaughterers
and shippers in Chicago and Kansas
City. Some action may properly be taken
against this combination if its existence
shall be proved. but it is folly to under
take the ruin of the dressed beef trade,
Angry denunciation Of western com oil
nations in the beef business comes with
bad grace from the home of the combi
nation known as the mutton trust, whose
history was drawn out in this city by a
legislative committee few months ago,
and to which the committee in its report
directed the attention Of the attorney
genoa

THD LIVE STOCK QUESTION.
CHENEY, Kan, Feb. Is, 1889.

CHENEY, AaH., EeD. ID, 1905.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
In the Wichita EAGLE Of the 14th, we
find: GAS an argument in favor of the
beef inspection bill pending before the
legislature, it is asserted that ten years
ago, before the great packing centers
were fully established, beef cattle were
worth from to cents on foot, while
they are only worth from / 1-2 to 8
cents now. A complete answer to this
can be given in the statement Of the
fact that, taking this state for example,
there are about twice as many beef cat
tie in the country now as there were ten
years ago. The question Of supply and
demand affects the price OF live stock
just as surely and as sensiblv as 1t does
any other, as much as those interested In
personal, selfish schemes may strive to
make 1T appear otherwise"
What is the reason we have twice as
many cattle in Kansas? The real truth
IS, In 1884 the packing establishments OF
Kansas City and Chicago gave a
market and bought beef on foot
up to 5 and over 6 cents.
High prices on beef, and the tariff reduc-
ton on raw wool in 1883, increased cattle
in Kansas and reduced sheep to three or
four hundred thousand. 1t is the same
in Texas, Colorado and other western
territories. Cattle replaced sheep. Do
not destroy these great packing and beef
establishments that brought us these
great markets, but put high tariff on
wool and hides, and we would not hear so
much of low prices. In 1873 was in
the butcher business. We had no pack
ing houses in Kansas, bought hogs for
whatever l offered, from two to three
cents. My books show yet that sold
hog tenderloin at fifteen cents per pound.
Two weeks ago bought in our butcher
shop of Mr.. Lee, three pounds of hog
tenderloln for twenty-five cents. He
bought the tenderloin of the Dold pack
Ing company by the wholesale.
| sold carload of hogs to Dold's pack
ing house the day before for four dollars
and fifty cents per hundred.
