public have right to depend upon him
to keep the public funds in his individual
custody; that is, to keep the particular
money which comes into his possession
as Treasurer safe, so that it may be called
for at once. Primarily the security of
the city. resides in the character of the
Treasurer. The great majority of men
are honest, and II the Treasurer has a
place to keep the money he should keep
the identical money paid to him in that
place. It is seldom that municipality
ID ever reimbursed for loss by suit against
bondsmen of a public officer Besides
such suits are costly. In short the proper
strictly in accordance with the law.
We know of no law or ordinance
which justifies the City Treasurer in per-
| mitting bank to use about 100000 of
gold coin belonging to the public as part
of banking capital. If the Treasurer
has no vault in which to keep the public
| moneys of the city. so much the worse
for the city. What an impeachment of
the method of doing business it is to say
that in city half-century old the
treasury is fiction. Such a confession
would relegate US to place among the
semi-civilized peoples of the world. But
acts of past folly may not be successfully
pleaded as precedents against future
course of wisdom. In times past there
has been q rivalry and contention among
banking corporations of the city as to
which should have the free use of the
public funds for the purpose of private
gain.
| This practice should be discontinued at
once. It should even be made an issue
of the compaign, and no man should be
deemed eligible and available for the
Office of Mayor who would not see to it
at once that the custody of the identical
money which is paid in by the taxpay-
ers shall remain with the City Treasurer
according to the requirements Of his
Office. II he has no vault in which to
keep the money, there are safe deposit
facilities in the city which may be avail
able. At all events, the custody of pub
lie money is public trust and whoever
permits bank TO use it as banking
capital has already committed dsfalca-
nnfr I,cto hn ba obl
or the bank may be able, to return it
when called upon to do so.
On the other hand, the bank using
such public funds conspires against its
own credit Such use is not in the nature
of things reputable banking; it is Illicit
and illegitimats. The safest bank is that
wherein the average amount deposited
by each depositor is the smallest. A
bank carrying large deposits is liable to
have certain calls which it may not be
able to meet. We understand that there
are at times over $500.000 in the City
which this entire amount may be called
for by the city authorities. The bank do
ing business on this species of capital is
not doing safe business. Neither from
the standpoint of proper public admins
tration nor from that of true banking
principles is the custom to be justified.
It is time this abuse was reformed, and
we believe the public will join US in the
demand for its immediate and speedy
reformation.

Chamber of Commerce subscribers, and
those who ought TO become members, are

completely before carnival day. The election
ought to be held next week, but to that end a

roll must be had. A ticket for officers is al
ready in the field officially, but there is pretty
sure TO be an opposition, and also an inde-

hoped that the Membership Committees in
their canvass will meet with ready and gen =

ATCHISON'S FROLIC.

The harvest being ended, and the
earth having turned the cone Of its
elliptical orbit in whirling away to the
cold and shadowing side Of its annual
circuit and the summer sun, that
source Of life and energy, being gone
leaving behind the falling leaf and the
chill which tells of the doom Of death,
these combine to remind humanity
that the season Of rest and recreation
has come again, and that in its recur-
renee the time of fairs and carnivals
and for play has come. "All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
The people of Atchison have had their
time and turn in season. Ignoring the
interest and the utility phase, they de-
cided in favor Of q day Of fun and
frolic, inviting all the world to PARTED
pate. They named their spree. ''Corn
Cornwall" There was no racing, no
contests for prizes or purses, no re-
wards Of merit, nor any emulation of
whatever character, but simply day
e,
unrestrained registering, social swag-
ger and fellowship. From the news

WICHITA AND HER ADVERTISERS.

The attention of Governor Morrill,.
his administration, as also of his back
ers here and at Topeka, Is respect
fully called to the advertising columns
| of the Eagle this morning. They are
a reflex OF the business Of this city. of
its magnitude and substantial charac.
ter. But a glance is necessary to
convince any unprejudiced mind that
Wichita is not only city Of a wide
diversity Of traffic and commerce. but
of imposing proportions. Whatever
Wichita or her business representa-
lives may be lacking in, enterprising
spirit is not one Of them. Hopeful
ness Of the future and faithfulness to
the present have been marked chaIac-
terfstics of her people.
Incidentally another fact may be
gathered from the advertising columns
Of the Eagle this morning. 1t Is OBJ
vious that the attempted organized eff
fort to bring Wichita TO terms by
crushing her defender Is to say the
least, neither q popular or promising
one. Wichita cannot be put under nor
relocated TO obscurity so long as the
Eagle lives to demand her rights and
sound her praises, So long as the
Eagle stands unflinchingly and IN
selfishly by the rights and interests of
this people 50 long will it be sustained.
1t always has been. 1t ever will be;
nor corporate combinations, nor polit-
ical Jobs, nor outside lies nor inside
misrepresentation can effect or move
it from the resolve and cause ia which
il has never wavered, So far as
Wichita as city Is concerned, or the
material, moral or religious interests
were involved, If the Eagle in its de-
votion ever made a mistake 1t was Of
the head and not Of the heart In
giving the news Of the world to it's
readers and laying before them the adj
vantages offered by its advertisers it
never loses sight of that for which il
was founded and for which it has
laboTed for almost quarter Of a CEN
fury. In all that time it never de-
or received a cent from any in
diyldnal. corporation, from the city,
county OF state, that it did not honestly
earn or that it was not legally en-
titled.
1t Is not out Of place. probably. to
say, in the interest of our
patrons that in all their
respective lines no dealers in any city
within the boundary lines Of the state
carry SO complete, extensive and sup
to date" stocks Of goods, either whole
sale or retail
