The action of the council in order

Mankato to be sprinkled, is good news
to all. OF all dusty places in the city

The ordinance which passed it's
first reading at the council meeting
Monday night, making it unlawful to
allow COWS or any animals to run at

step in the right direction. Already
the prohibition applies in the central
wards, and works no hardships upon
anyone. A great many people living

like to beautify their premises if they
were sure that their work would not
be undone by cattle. Those who have
COWS can pasture them upon vacant
lots by permission of the owners. The

WALL STREET POLITICS.

To the Editor Of The Eagle.
With your permission l desire TO crlti-
else mildly the deception attempted by
last issue of the Beacon, wherever he
says: 1t has been the policy of the
Republican party, led and controlled as
1t has been bv Wall street, to contract
the currency of the country, and there
by depreciate the products OF labor
without in any way injuring the class of
people who make their living and
fortunes by clipping coupons. Now /
submit, is this a fair and square state
ment of the case? If it Is, from my old
friends standpoint, / ask him TO spread
out, and take wider view of the head

ANOTHER GREAT SCHEME.

Mr.. Austin Corbin and a number OF
associates have taken the preliminary
steps towards obtaining charter for
the prosecution of an undertaking which
bristles with more apparently insur-
mountable difficulties than any enter
prise seriously projected for ten years.
The scheme embraces the construction
of a series of tunnels 10 extend from
jersey City to New York, under the
Hudson, and thence to Brooklyn, under
the East river.
What will be the cost Of this enter
prise may be imagined from the esti-
mates which have been made for the
work per mile which amount to an ex-
penditure of S1,250,000 for the tunnel
alone, but when to this is added "the
cost of excavations for underground sta
tons, switches, real estate for surface
stations, plants for ventilation and light
ing, and equipment" the cost will be
nearly S3,000,0 600 a mile.
Those who are associated with Mr..
Corbin are very wealthy men, such as
Mr.. II. 0. Armour, Mr. Abram S. Hew-
lit, Vice President Morton, Senator
Brice, c. P. Huntington and many others
known as very strong capitalists.

COL. ANTHONY TO THE FORE.

From the Leavenworth Times.
George Martin suggests to Col. An
thOny that LeavenwOrth ought to fol-
low the example of Kansas CITY, Kan.
by quitting sitting up nights, bawling
for beer, and get down to business, leav-
ing the police commissioners TO take
care of the city's expenses by looking
after the joint revenues. The sugges-
ton on the whole seems pertinent.
plausible and protitable.-Wichita
EAGLE.
Neither George Martin nor Marsh
Murdoch is competent TO advise us in
this matter, for neither of them is placed
as we are. There has been no "bdwling
for beer here, but only a demand for
even-handed justice. In Kansas CITY,
Kan, and in Wichita beer is sold with
the full knowledge and consent of the
governor. In those cities the citizens
can attend to business and the police
commissioners do look after the joint
revenues. But here it is diff
erent. Governor Humphrey wants
to make an awful example
of Leavenworth. He does not like
us because we did not vote for him. If
he would really enforce the law here it
would not matter so much, but he has
given us a set of incompetent old grand
mothers as commissioners who bother
around nosing into other peoples business
in a way that is intoierable, and attempt
To enforce the law Just enough to COM
mand the respect of the violators Of the
law.
And while bothering their old heads
about the prohibitOry law, they have en-
fAr 70 I, 81 g.,
crime than liquor selling. These old
men. these pious old church members
think it terrible thing TO license a
saloon. but they license the bawdy
houses in the city and draw their sala-
ries from the money paid 10 prostitutes as
the price of their prostitution.
1t Is revolving. Ii Is too indecent for
public print but hat such fostering sores
must be uncovered that they may be
cured.
The policy shops. too, where poor men
squander their little earnings, are per
mitted 10 run by these good men who
think that nickel spent for glass Of
beer Is tribute paid TO the evil one.
This is the state of affairs In Iyeaven-
worth. Gentlemen may cry peace.
peace" but there is no peace and can he
none while the governor of the state
makes war upon Us. We know that this
war Is only made upon Us for the pur-
pose Of injuring rs. We know that
Humphrey Is hypocrite when he pirates
Of his devotion TO prohibition. We know
that there is no truth IN him ane we can
not remain quiet while this infamous
outrage Is being perpetrated. The ex-
ample Of Kansas City and Of Wichita.
will be followed when we are trea ed as
they are treat. d. Until that time comes
we will endeavor 10 keep up our end OF

AN IMAGINARY CALAMITY

The silver bill provides that any man
having silver of the requisite frneness to
the value or more than 500 can take it to
the mint and have it coined into dollars
without charge. What, then. is to prevent
Spectator from having 50 cent silver
stamped into 100 cent coins and becoming
rich in the process And as the silver
dollar is just as good rs the gold dollar,
what is to prevent said spectators from
swapping his new silver coins for our gold
ones ana draining this country of its inter
national currency?-Newton Republican.
As to the first question, there is moth
ing to prevent the speculator or anybody
else from having his silver that is pro-
duced in this country coined as stated
without regard to what it cost him; but
unless he has it on hand there is no danger
that he will grow rich off the margin of
profits, since the market value, practi-
cally places it on a par with the coin,
and will remain there so long as
that coin remains on parity with gold.
As for the exchanging of the 100 cent
silver for the 100-cent gold dollar, that
is an imaginary danger. The same
thing was threatened pending the discus
sion of the remonization act, but moth
ing of the sort occurred when the act
was passed. If there was auy danger of
such thing being done, why isn't it be-
ing done now? When its government
makes no discrimination between the is
sues of currency it does not lie within
the power of spectators to do it.
All this alarm at the awful things
that will happen if free coinage obtains
Is merely the fright of spook, else it is
a deliberate attempt to deceive the peo-
pie in order that they may be kept in
position for the fleeing process to be
continued at the hands of the favored
benefciaries of the long standing system.

NOT FOR FORTY DAYS YET.

There is no use talking, there will be
no more outside money sent into Kansas
until the present legislature adjourns.
Business men, bankers and everybody
elso can make up their minds TO that.
Capital will not run its neck into a
dangling moose while a threatening
crowd is hanging on to the other end of
the rope. Personally we have little fear
that the legislature will slop over. There
may be hot-headed, inexperienced and
wild-eyed members, but they are not in
the majority. Besides, the senate stands
between all such and the interests
of the state However, people
with surplus money down east cannot be
convinced but what there is danger,
and as their money is their own, so far
as Kansas is concerned they will simply
hold on to it until they are satisfied that
they can loan or invest it with perfect
security. Money is growing easier in
the east. where confidence has been
largely restored, and a great volume of
it will be seeking investment in the most
favorable and promising localities, and
after the 1st of March has come and the
Legislature has adjourned without hav-
ing passed any extreme or injudiciouS
laws, every bank and every loan agency
in Kansas will be supplied with greater
or less volumes of currency. which will
be measured in accordance with the mar
kets and the times.
