Mr.. McKelway is one Of the most brisk and

Naturally Democratic in politics and in all
things else, he Is withal an Independent

A Corking Suggestion.

There is one thing this government
did not think of before entering upon
a war with Spain, namely, that the
bulk Of our supply of cork comes from
that source. The value Of this useful
product, imported into this country
during the fiscal year ending June 80.
1897, from Spanish territory, amounted
to $347, 576
And now a Yankee comes along with
the suggestion to the Spanish naval
authorities that they might utilize this
commodity, so unceremoniously exclud-
ed from our market on account Of this
conflict, as armor for their battleships,
his claim being that it is not only
buoyant but impenetrable by mod
ern projectile, and that such an outer
garment would be in the nature Of
ife-preserver for man-of-war India
rubber was once suggested for such
uses, but rubber is heavy and will sink,
While the former can only be forced to
remain under water by some highly
superior power.
But if this hint could secretly have
been conveyed to the Spaniards sufd
GENTLY in advance of the opening Of
hostilities to have enabled them to
clothe their war vessels in rubber
coats or cork life-preservers, and the
fact had not meanwhile leaked out,
what fun would have been afforded by
the navy of the United States to the
rest of the world, and how triumphant
ly the Spaniard himself might have
laughed over Uncle Sans discontinue.
TING crin inc ha
along the spinal column Of Fighting
Bob" Evans as he stood on the deck
of a modern battleship of the white
squadron throwing rifle balls at a
Spanish man-of-war, clothed in a thick
rubber overcoat, and witnessing the
missiles bounding back from her sides
with terrible force. perhaps re-enter-
ing the very threats Of the guns whence
they had originally issued, or punctuf-
ing his own arnor in their wild re-
treat. He would be in position SINH
lar to that OF a small boy throwing
from his hand d ball attached to an
elastic cord and catching it on its re-
turn flight OF course Bob" would ap-
preciate 1t as much as anybody, when
he came to understand the situation;
but the real fun is in imagining his feel
ings Of surprise if he did not know
what the thing meant. Then, again,
just fancy the condition of mind Of
Admiral Sampson seeing the projec-
tiles from the terrible mouths of his
big guns on the New York falling
Imply into the water from the sides Of
Spanish cruiser clothed in one Of
these cork life preservers. Howeve,
Yankee ingenuity could be relied upon
to overcome this difficulty as soon as
it was comprehended. Indeed, there is
ground for suspicion that the yer,
downEast man who suggested this
idea of a cork armor, has already Sc
cured q patent on some sort of q cork
screw for attachment to the point Of
the projectile. The latter by it's rotary
motion would naturally impart great
power to the screw and in this way the
heart of the ship might be penetrated.
Any obstacle can be overcome by Yam
kee genius, even a Spanish warship
done UP in rubber or a cork jacket.

INCOME TAX
Proposed by Bailey Instead of a
Bond Issue.

Bond Issue.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-At the
meeting of the ways and means COM
nhttee today. Mr.. Bailey, on behalf of
the Democratic minority, offered the
substitute agreed upon by them for the
proposition in the bill authorizing the
issue of $500, $1,000 coin bonds. 1t pro-
vided for an income tax Of per cent
on incomes from all sources in excess
Of $4,000. State, county and municipal
bonds, however. were excepted from its
provision to meet the unanimous deci-
sion of the supreme court In this re-
spect. The minority estimated that
such an income tax would raise $780,
006,0 900.
Coupled with 1T was the proposition
to coin the silver seigniorage, which
at present amounts to $42,O00,OO0. The
substitute was voted down by a strict
party vote.
No amendments were offered to other
provisions Of the bill, owing to the
lack of time.

have put in fighting; but they have not the

A HOSPITAL SUGGESTION.

The announcement in yesterday morn
ing's Eagle that the new City Hospital
will soon be ready to open was received
with pleasure by the people. This hospital
will be the most substantial, the most
complete in modern appointments and ac-
cessories Of any public hospital in the
state of Kansas. There is one additional
feature which the Eagle would like to
urge upon the directory. To render the
institution more comfortable to GONZALES
cents and more attractive and hospital like
in appearance, a three-story corridor
porch, strong, wide, airy and roomy
should be constructed along the entire
front, ninety feet long and sixteen feet
fioor-space wide, supported by substantial
columns and guarded by tastefully con-
structed railing. Such a corridor would
mean comfort and health and relieve the
building Of its business block appearance.
