Congress of the American Republics, by
which our relations with South Ameri-
ca, Mexico and Central America were
enlarged. improved and strengthened
and our trade increased; all these show
the capacity of the man. and that the
people were right in wanting him Tor
President. When he could accomplish
so much in a subordinate position IN
the government, how much more could
have been accomplished had he been at
the head of affairs in the office of Presl-
dent is matter the people can thlnK
over for themselves. And more than
that. they can call to mind that they
were deprived of the services OF their
ideal. James G. Blaine, by the connlv-
ing of selfish, INSCRIPTIONS, political
Bosses. who would sacrifice every thing
the people desire so they can have their
way
We ask our readers if it is not time
the Boss was dispensed with! The mat
ter rests entirely with the people Ii
they want to continue it, vote for the
Ouay candidates for Senate and Assem-
bly. but if they want to put an end to
it, vote for the anti-Quay candidates for
Senate and Assembly.
The answer can be given at the prl-
maries, March oath.
On Friday but ne-hundred men were
left at the state capitol in Frankfort
Kentucky.
THE EAGLE is ALWAYS prating about
regularity, and that the will of the ma
ioritv should rule, etc. We agree WITH
it on this and always support the noml-
nee. and we go further and say we don
know any set of fellows who pay less
attention to the Will of the majority
than Quay and his followers. We have
an illustration in our election OF last
week. In the 4th ward of Butler, +. Z.
Mitchell, good working Republican
was nominated for Council; and }. l..
Garroway, another good Republican,
was nominated for School Director
The ward is Republican by a nice ma
iority. At the election Mitchell was
| defeated and Garroway had tie with
his opponent They were both regular
| " nominated-the choice of the majorl
ty-no question about that, but we have
it on good authority that they were de
feated by Quay followers, for one OF
the Quay crowd stated since the elec
| ton .'he knew why Mitchell and Gar
roway were defeated, they were anti
Quay, and that he knew of eight quay
votes that were cast against them.
This fellow no doubt told the truth
as fhe result bears out his statement
Quay is for majority rule as long a
he can have his way, but when he can
then he don't give snap for majorlties
and his gang follow in his foot steps

is the Church of St Francis. Before it
was built. this was the center of the
Aztec city. The church and its sur
rounding buildings, covering blocks and
blocks, supplanted this. Then came an
other turn. The church, since bought
back by the Catholics, was confiscated,
the monastery next door to the church
came to be the Hotel Los Guardiola. It
has the open court The inches in its
walls. where formerly stood crucifces, are
now occupied by big vases. Your next
street, "Gante," was thrown through the
church's cemetery. Blocks away the
Hotel Jardin, the site of Montezuma's
animal garden, was formerly a refectory.
In a word, a great church property has
been criss-c-ossed with streets and all but.

strange thing happens. Up against the

completely protect the establishment.

The church people, and especially the

campmeeting IS to he held in Wichita
again this year. At the midyear meeting,
which was held at the home Of Rev.
Parker last week, it was decided to hold
the annual campmeeting again in this
city, and the dates were set for August
16 to rs inclusive. The Rev. c. ]. Fow-

there will be no trouble to procure his
services for that date. He will be as
sisted by the Rev. Ruth, also a preacher

with a five-minute service during the

vantage to the public who flock by the
hundreds and thousands to the services
twice and three times day.
The committee at the midyear meeting.
it is understood, decided to hold their an
nual campmeetings in this city perma-
nently on account Of the extra advant-
ages Wichita has for such occasions. The
meetings bring hundreds of outside peo-
pie here, and are beneficial in business
way aside from the great good accom-
plished along spiritual lines. Last years
meeting was one OF the grandest efforts
ever seen in campmeeting services insthts
country and the ministers say there is
every reason to believe the attendance
and interest this year will almost double
