The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-10-16

Yesterday Judge Reed male a de-
cision that hits the wildcat newspapers
and, incidentally, mikes UP a whole lot
of property. He passed on some cases
Involving the title TO property and
sold under a notice of sale published
in the Wichita Times, which, it will be
remembered was established here IN
der the name of the Cheney Herald.
The paper was not legal medium for
publication notices, on account of the
fact that it had not been in publica
tion the specified length of time, but
for all that attorneys patronized it
and the result is that the sale of all
property under notices published in
the paper is Illegal and no sale at all.
1t viii not hurt Mr.. Ritchey, the pro-
prietor of the paper as he has already
drawn the pay for the publications
but it will necessitate the plaintiffs in
the cases to go ali through the court
expenses again to say nothing of the
delay that will occur before they are
reached On the docket for trial. The
matter win be all right for defendants
as 1t Will give them further time be-
fore they are dispossessed but il will
be tough on the plaintiffs.

IT rs not likely that the United
States and England will 60 to war
in order to settle their controversy
over the Venezuelan matter. When
England sees that our Government
is in earnest as to the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine she will
doubtless make concessions. If the
two most enlightened nations on
earth cannot settle trivial boun-
dairy dispute without going to war
over it, our boastcd civilization is
a farce. While we desire to
sec the prestige of our country
maintained, we do not think
there is yet occasion for pull
ing off our coats, in school-boy
fashion, and daring England to
come on. War is too serious q
matter to be entered into impulsive-
ly, and should only be rcsorted te
when all other cxpedients fail.

THE Presidents Venezuelan mes
sage caused a furry in the stock
market. American securities OF
all kinds took a tumble in London
and the effect was quickly felt in
New York. The disturbance was
brought about by British investors
showing a disposition to call in
American loans as a retaliatory
measure for the stand taken by oul
people in the Venezuelan matter,
and thus seek to embarrass oul
Government by draining the coun.
try of its gold. This has caused
the President to send third mes
sage to Congress, asking it for I'M
mediate financial legislation which
will give him authority to sci
bonds to keep up the gold reserve
even to the amount of one billion
dollars if necessary.

"Bill Nye'S" New Year Meditation

Of course the serious business on
New Year Day is to make good
resolutions, and no person who
respects himself or has due regard
for the propricties will begin to
smash them until the pright-eyed
young chernb whom we picture as
the New Year has been long enough
in the world not to mind hearing
the crash of the fine china. Some
authorities on the etiquette of the
day say that while the breaking
should not begin before sundown
of New Year Day. it may be in
augurated after that time, as the
cherub being very young, and tired
out with moving in, may be pre-
sumcd to have retired for the nj ght.
This however. is a doubtful point.
upon which it is not safe to act.
Personally. | don't begin to toy
with good resolutions until late

undue pride, that these Strawberries

After breakfast :! attend to my
regrets for things done which ought

done. This is the long undertaking
of the day, and shall have to pull

gin snow, and light the lamp before

The Jefferson City Bridge.

The bridge across the Missouri
River at Jefferson City is about
thirty-fve hundred feet in length.
Within the waterway are four
spans, the first two are each 220
feet in length and the other two
are $50 feet in length, making
abou. 1910 feet, reaching across
the river, from the Jefferson City
side to the accretion On the other
shore, caused by the dikes in front
of the city erected by the L. S.
Government. The superstructure
will be placed on five steel piers, all
Of them, except the fifth, resting
on bed rock. The first pier is on
the jefferson City side near the
waters edge. The second, third
and fourth piers are on the bed
rock from fifty to seventy-tive feet
below the surface of the water at
low water mark. These piers are
substantially completed. The fifth
will be built by two steel cassions
sunk about 80 feet in the sand and
dirt, within which cypress piling
20 feet long and reaching down to
bed rock will be driven. This pier
will be finished in about ten days.
Beyond these steel piers will be a
trestle work $40 feet in length,
connecting with an embankment
1920 feet long, which reaches to
the main land on the Galloway side.
Men are at work on the bridge day
and night, Sundays not excepted.
Work on the superstructure will
begin at once and the bridge will
be opened for traffic on or before
March 1st, 1896, according to the
contract. An electric railway
will then connect jefferson City
with the depot of the Chicago 4
Alton, and NJ. X. & T. Railroads
in North Jefferson.

A Retrospective View.

The year 1895 is almost at an
end, and looking into the retrospect
we believe we can mark a decided
Improvement in the condition Of
things general over those which
prevailed during 1894. The coun-
try seems to be gradually recover
ing from the depression it has with
in the past few years been subject
ed to, and while there is still room
for much improvement, the advent
of 1896 sees us fairly prosperous
and hopeful that the new year will
continue the improvement of the
one just passed. Bountiful crops
have been garncrcd, and the wheels
of commerce are again beginning
to revolvc with some degree of reg
ularity, and will in time attain the
swiftncss we desire SO much to see.
Prices on labor and commoditie:
do not show much Improvement
but in a few instances labor ha.
had slight increase, which lead:
us to hope that there will be a NOR
general improvement along tha
line during the coming year. Polit
ically, from the Republican stand
point, the year has been a success

in fact. While we condole with
our brethren on the other side over
their misfortune, we believe our
success has given occasion for re-
joicing throughout the land, inso-
much that it has allayed the dis
turbing factor in public well being.
Taking all in all. we think the past
year has not been 50 bad but that
it might have been worse, and we
will view the future through the
glasses Of an optimist rather than
those Of the nessimist.

Congress and the Venezuelan Case
FROM THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

The passage in the House by a
unanimous. vote of Il bill creating
a Venezuelan commission and APP
propriating 100000 for its sup
port, and introduction of measures
in the Senate to strengthen the
military armament of the United
States" and repeal the law which
denies commissions in the army or
navy to officers in the Confederate
military or naval service who had
previously held commission in the
military or naval service of the
United States, all of which, of
course, will be enacted, arc signiti-
cant. They show that there are
crises in which partisanship drops
out of sight, and that this is one of
them. I'VE are all Republicans,
we arc Fedcralists, said jefferson
in his first inaugural, alluding to
the fact that difference Of opinion
is not difference of principle. We
are all Americans when the nation :
honor or Interests are ass,iled by
any foreign Power.
1t is the purpose of the Senate
to amend the House Venezuelan
bill by Il provision defining the
Monroe doctrine. This is wise.
The scope and character of this
declaration should be set forth in 9
statute, so that the world could tel
Just what the United States vii
maintain. In 1926 the House OF
Representatives adopotcd a rcsolu
tions setting forth that 1.-The United
States ought not to become a party
with Spanish-American republics
or either of them to any join dccla
ration for the purpose of preven
ing interference by any of th'
European Powers with their indie
pcndence or form of government o.
to any compact for the purpose o
preventing colonization on the con

people of the United Snates SHOULD
