Owing to pressure of private business
yesterday which called him out OF town
for the greater part of the day Mr. Biting
did not solicit subscriptions for the Aud

CAMPBELL,s FIRST ORDER
He Says Treason is Still Lurking in the Con-
federatc states.

Department Commander ". p. Camp
bell issued his first order TO tbs Grand
Army of the Republic day before yester-
day. After some preliminary remarks
touching the condition of the Grand Army
and a review OF its objects he says:
There are matters which concern us as
survivors OF the armies of which the great
Lincoln was the commander-in-cnief.
transcending any questions that seem to
divide political parties. We triumphed
IN the great conflict of arms. When the
existence of our country was threatened
by traitors, with guns in their hands, we
rose up with a mighty wrath, and not
with vapid arguments but by hard knocks
we saved the country. Our flag floats
triumphant over a nation of people. great
progressive and free. We mad hoped the con-
fict was ended but is it? There are many in
dications that it is not. With unexampled
bravery and fOrtitude we attacked the old
she-wolf of disunion with fire and sword
and drove her snarling back to her lair.
from which she has not since emerged
except under cover of darkness and in
stolen attire; but, after all, will not our
children have to contend with her whelps?
They 90 not openly insult the flag. They
do not preach secession. Their methods.
though desperate and determined, are in-
sidious. Tney attack the nation BY at
tempts to discredit its defenders. They
encompass the earth and the seas to find a
fraudulent pension and value the rascally
recipient above all price. They have no
desire to punish him; il is the deserving
pensioners they wish to besmirch Recent
event may well caIlse US to pause and con-
slider whether the old snake of rebellion is
scoiched and not killed.
Conn AIDES, beware of treachery. The
leading secesslonlsts OF the south and
their coadjutors, the prating copperheads
of the ncrCh, love not the flag of this
Union, neither do their descendants.
They are wolves as their fathers were be-
fore them.
The department commander urges all
the cultivation among us OF that fraternity
of feeling which holds us in bonds that
must never be broken: that charity which
deals gently with frailty and folly, and
that ardent loyalty which has been our
hope and stay for the future.
He enjoins upon post commanders and
post adjuCants the Importance of au early
OF their respective posts. Give
serious and Intelligent consideration to
this measure which will tend to produce
harmony.
Remove every cause of useless con-
tention and estrangement with tact and
iirmness. Repulse all purely selfish de-
signs of individuals. and press forward in
the discharge of the high and important
duties developing upon you with the en-
thusiasm born OF devotion to a just and
sacred cause, and an eye single to the
growth, the prosperity and glory Of the
Grand Army of the Republic"

THE MANHOOD OF A CoLoRED MAN.
WICHITA, Kan. March 5, '94.

WICHITA, Kan, March s. '94
To the editor OF the Eagle.
l see at a recent meeting of the city
council Il resolution was passed authoriz-
ing the mayor Of the city to place colored
men on the fire department.
Now. | would like TO ask the council
through your paper why they deem it
necessary to pass such resolution? 1t
strikes me as clear case of class legisla-
tion. ! know OF no clause in the city ordi-
nance that would prohibit the mayor from
recommending colored men, or red men,
or white men to said position. The popu-
lation of the city of Wichita is made up Of
various races aud nationalities. Whv
make "A distinction OF race or color. when
it comes to making city appointments
Think of the council passing u resolution
authorizing the mayor to make appoint
ments among the Irish, German, or any
other uatiOnalities of the white population
of the city there would 60 up a howl and
kick that would bring about AL explana-
tion.
l think there are no black laws north of
the Mason and Dixon line. If there are
such inoculated in the city laws of Wich-
ita it is time they were abolished.
Will some one ot the council please in
form us why it was necessary to pass such
resolutions. CoLoRED CITIZEN.

seems to be some criticism made on the

such stimulation, but they take a
different view of the matter. One
