A SALOON PONTOONED.

The terror which the Wichita EAGLE has
inspired among the ladies will prevent
quite a number of the members of the
Social Science Club from attending a
meeting of that club at that city next
week-Leavenworth Sun.
If the Individual who wrote the above
and to which he adds that it is his be-
lief that the editor of the EAGLE is a
half-civilized ex-cowboy-could but see
himself in the light of his own exposure,
as others must, he would doubtless re-
gret that he lacked the courtesy of a
cowboy. If the EAGLE failed of express
ing the sentiments of Wichita, or of a
large majority of its people, it would
hardly remain a more costly and more
widely read paper than all the newspa-
papers of Leavenworth combined. The
EAGLE would be greater than it is, and
withal, more refined, and hopes to be,
but even as it is it is good enough for
anybody who may attend the Social
Science Club from Leavenworth. place

GLADEsTONFs SPEECH ON AMERICA

In speech few days ago at Chester,
England, Mr.. Gladstone made some
notable observations on America and its
system of government. and pronounced
a glowing eulogy on the fathers of our
republic. At one time, and that
not SO long since, it used to be the
fashion with British politicians to speak
in depreciatory terms of the United
States and her institutions. All that
has undergone change in recent years.
The majority of Englishmen now recog-
nize that the American revolution was
great and momentous event and an i'm
portant factor in the progress Of human
freedom.
Of course Englishmen claim, as Mr..
Gladstone does, large share of the
credit for their own country. SIT was
by and from England" says Mr.. Glad
stone, "that love of freedom was sown
in America" We need hardly say
that this is claim which we do not
concede. Americans generally know
very much better. But we are not dis.
posed and it would not be gracious to be
captious or severely critical with the
great Englishman who is doing such
splendid work for the emancipation of
the long-oppressed people of Ireland. If
Mr.. Gladstane makes any undue claim
for England at this juncture he does it
in pursuance of noble object, and his
speeches as whole must and do COM
mand the respectful admiration of hon
est and liberty loving men everywhere.
All Americans worthy of the name
will heartily reciprocate Mr.. Gladstone's
friendly feeling and accept in good spirit
his compliments to their country and the
great names in their history.

VIEWS OF CONGRESSMAN ON THE
TARIFF AND AMERICAN SHIPPING.

The New York Tribune has been get
ting the views of the Republican mem
bers of congress on several questions.
Five questions were asked and the
Tribune says:
The first question, which relates TO the
tariff. was answered in the affirmative
by S6 representatives, IN the negative by
3, gave no answer, and l declined TO
commit himself. \ good many of the
affirmative answers were qualified.
Some favor higher rates of duty on
certain articlss-wool, tin-plates, &c
while others favor a greater reduction
or repeal of the duties on sugar. Two
of the negative answers were also
qualified. Mr.. Coleman, of Louisiana,
opposes the proposed reduction of so per
cent on sugar. and another representa-
tive favors only a partial revision at the
coming session.
In respect to the internal revenue laws
there seems TO be q wide diversity of
opinion as TO what should be done. al
though - favor repeal or some modifiea-
ton OF the laws, while ! oppose any
change, s declined to commit themselves
and ! gave no answer. The replies
which favor repeal or modification NAV
be classified as follows: To abolish the
internal revenue system, u: to abolish II

tax on tobacco, cigars, &c, -: 10 re-
duce it, II: 10 repeal the taxes on to-
bacco and alcohol used in manufactures

ductlon, g. It will be observed that 81
OF the propositions involve the repeal of
the tobacco taxes, while II favor re-
duction of those taxes. It is true, how
ever. that a good many who use the
word repeal qualify it with remark
showing that they favor the retention OF
small sufficient to pay the cost,of
coiiectlon-on cigars and cigarettes
IN order to protect manufact-
urers brands. In number of cases the
expression of desire to reduce or repeal
internal taxes is coupled with declara-
tion In favor of more liberal pension
laws and provisions by means of such
taxes for the increased appropriations
thereby made necessary. This view ap-
pears also to influence, in some degree,
most of the men who oppose any modi-
1lcatlon of the internal revenue laws.
lhe main reason, however, given by
those who favor the abolition of the sys-
tenn now, or ''as soon as practicable" is
desire to prevent inroads upon or the
overthrow of the system of protection to
American industries. Mr.. Morse, of
Massachusetts, however, would not dis
turb the internal revenue laws until
after the abolition of the sugar duties
and the formation of commercial union
between the United States and Canada.
Il K
Only one negative reply was received
to the fourth question, relating to liberal
appropriations for the foreign mail SER
vice, with view to the restoration of
the American flag to the ocean, and that
one was qualified as follows: "Not in
the form in which it was presented in
the Fiftieth congress" Two failed to
answer the question, seven were not
ready to express an opinion as to the
best means to accomplish the desired re-
suit, which all of them favor. and eighty
eight responded Internationally in the
affirmative. 1t appears, therefore, that
nnety-one are in favor of the object
sought to be accomplished, although
eight differ from the other eighty-three
as to the best means. OF the eight sew
eral desire to wait before committing
themselves until after the Pan-American
congress should have concluded its de-
alterations, Several would limit the APP
plication of the policy indicated to
American countries" The replies in
dictate probability, amounting almost
to certainty. that the Republican con-
gress will take action which will result
in the rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine and in a vast in
crease of direct commerce, at least
between the United States and the coun-
tries Of Central and South America.

CELEBRATING AMERICAS DISCOV.
cry

New York, Chicago and st. Louis, the
wrangling contestants for the worlds
fair in 1892, are likely to find some COM
petition from a hitherto unsupported
source.
Spain believes that the discoverer, as
well as the discovered, should take a
band in celebrating the quadrI-centen-
NAL of the great achievement of Co
lumbus. The government there has
taken the initiative, and invitations to
cooperate have already been sent to
England. France, Portugal and Italy.
Thus, while the American cities are
wrangling with each other, Spain has
taken the first trick by putting her en-
!erprise formally before the world.
What the exact character Of the Spanish
celebration will be is not yet determined;
the project, however, that meets with
most favor is the holding of an interna-
tional exposition at Madrid.
England, too, claims some share in
the honor Of discovering the South
American continent, and the town of
Bristol, from which the Cabot brothers
sailed, is arranging for celebration of
their success. Since, however. it was
not until 1897 that the Cabots first set
foot upon the shore of Labrador, the
Bristol celebration will not fall due until
1897, and will thus not come into direct
competition with the American worlds
far.
Nor is it likely that the Madrid festiv-
tiles, whatever may be their nature, will
seriously interfere with the success of the
celebration on this side of the water 1t
Is not to moribund, starveling country
like Spain that the people of Europe will
flock to display evidences of their own
artistic and Industrial progress and to
compare them with the exhibits made by
other countries in the first rank of civil
ization

The only consolation the Democrats
have at the final outcome of the recent
election in Montana is that they will
have Toole in the governors office to
harry and handicap the legislature in its
efforts to promote the interests of the
new state wherever there is an excuse to
place partisan construction on legisla-
tive enactments, or partisan ends may
be subserved by executive interference.
Shorn Of power to do harm by vicious
legislation, the Democrats may yet do
the state serious injury by resorting to
their well-known obstructive tactics.
Pity it's. that the new state should be
compelled to begin its career of state
hood thus hampered.
