English Passenger Coaches.

The standard English passenger car
riage is considerably shorter than our
car. has three axles. no end platforms
and is entered by side doors. The first
class car contains four compartments,
each with six places. three with backs
to the engine and three facing. The
seats are separated by broad and comfort
able arm rests, and there are arm rests
on the sides of the carriage also These
rests are low enough. broad enough and
soft enough TO be comfortable. The
compartment is about feet square in
side, giving ample room for the six
seats, which are deep. wide, padded tC

America.
There are ample racks for hand lug
in the roof The second and third class
carriages have five compartments, max.
ing the seats less deep, fore and aft, and
giving less room for the knees than in
the first class. The second class compart.
ments seat eight persons, and the bench
across the car is divided by but one arm
rest, so that il the places are all full you
and one neighbor are separated by only
an imaginary line

LET rHz CITY COUNCIL ANSWER.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
At a recent meeting of the city council
resolution was presented and passed, au
thorizing the mayor of the city Of Wichita
to appoint a colored man to u position in
the fire department.
would like to ask some member of the
council, through your paper. to explain
why it was necessary TO pass such an ordi
nance! 1t seems to me to be class legi.la-
tion. If so, it is unconstitutional. For
this reason the act is dead letter, SO far
at it is concerned.
l know of no law north of Mason and
Dixon's line that hinders any man of good
moral character who is qualified from fill
ing public places of trust on account of his
color or previous condition. II there is
such clause in the laws of the city OF
Wichita it is time that they were repealed.
Were the council to pass a
law singing out the Irish, Ger
man, English or any other class of the
white population of the city of Wichita
with respect to appointments To Office,
there would go up IA nowl aud kick among
the classes SO singled out that would
bring forth an explanation. Some Of the
leading. colored men Of the city. in discuss
ing the question, say that various mayors
of the city and members of the council
for several years have promised TO give
the large colored population of the city a
representation on the fire department. So
far they have failed to deliver the goods.
Who is to blame for their neglect 1 am
not able to say. When you do see fit,
gentlemen, to give us representation,
please do not do so by passing special acts
or black laws, thus bringing about class
legislation. Give US the place because we
are American citizens, aud because we are

Colonel Ell II. Madison of Dodge City,
State commander of the Sons of Veterans,
made a rousiDg speech, in behalf of that
body. He opened his remarks by alluding
To the time when he studied law In Jones
& Adams Office in this city and taught
school on Cooks Hill The trend of his
discourse was on the duties of the Sons of
Veterans to the Grand Army of the Re-
public. He said that patriotism was nec-
essary for the preservation OF the Union.
In support of this statement he referred
to the fact that as long as the legendary
soldiers of Rome were patriotic in their
devotion To Jne repuoliC, 50 iOUS was
Rome preserved; but when Rome lost her
patriotism she lost her prestige. In clos
ing ne spoke of the loyalty Of the French
and German soldiers and very tellingiy
recited the "Marseillaise," the Watch on
the Rhine" and the Star Spangled Bau-
ner" Mr.. Madison spoke for nearly an
hour, and was FREQ uently interrupted by
the applause of the audience.
Mrs. Emma LaPaz delivered short ad-
dress in neat manner. in which she cou-
graduated the Grand Army on its wise
choice of department commander and
stated that the wives and daughters of the
veterans were ready to do their duty at any
time when the cali came.
Mrs. Una Kessler also gave a short ad-
dress, stating that no one had mentioned
the name under which they We're organ
lied, and that the name of Garfield was
one of which they could ali be proud.
Captain W. j. Skelton OF the Sons of
Veterans spoke on the matter relating TO
that body In very pleasant manner. He
told of how some of the young men whose
fathers are veterans, answer wnen asked
to join the organization.
The program was closed by the singing
of Marching Through Georgia by the
audience.
Post Commander Henry Schad presided
with much executive ability.
