WANTED: A CATSPAW.

Describing the confidential chat Am
bassador Choate had with Lord Sails
bury on the China question, the Asso-
ciated Press says: In short, the con-
ference may be said to have not elicit
ed a single point on which Lord Sails
bury differed from the American atti-
tude"
To be sure. And note the kindness of
the correspondent who wrote the report.
He would have used better language
and been more honest if he had writ
ten: Lord Salisbury and the United
States are in perfect harmony and will
act together in this matter under the
secret agreement reached by Secretary
Hay and Lord Salisbury some time
ago"
Every move of the American stcte
department goes to prove the existence
of such a secret understanding, though
the administration denies it. And no
diplomatic development of the year so
thoroughly corrOborates the common
understanding as this little conference
at which there is not "a single point on
which Lord Salisbury differed from the
American attitude"
The rescue and protection of Ameri-
can citizens in China is all right; a Sc
cret agreement with Great Britain that
will entangIe the United States in the
China grab game is all wrong. This
country has plenty of trouble of its
own without playing catspaw for John

CHAMERLAIN'S BLOOD TAX.

Some Of England's colonies are show
ing signs of dissatisfaction because Jo-
seph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies and the most conspic-
uous figure in the British cabinet at
this time. has ordered a military con-
scription in some Of the colonies by
which every male between II and 40 is
liable to compulsory military service.
Many English papers deplore the
belligerent policy which has made this
dreaded step almost a necessity and
which has scattered British energy
over so many continents. The Tele-
graph. commenting on the decree of the
secretary, says:
A minister who arbitrarily establishes a
system of compulsory military service in
any British colony is clearly dictator
of the most uncomprOmising type.
The leading men and journals Of the
kingdom admit now tbst it was bad
business to precipitate a crisis in South
Africa with another imminent in Asia.
The St. James Gazette holds that con-
scription cannot be avoided if the gov
eminent expects to look after all the
irons it insists or keeping in the fire
The Speaker says that out of all this
mist of military glory and whirlwind
Of patriotic excitement there begins to
rise up one gaunt and menacing form,
which-although it changes almost
/ from hour to hour its shape and size
| nevertheless stands out unmistakable:
it is the blood tax; it is Consumption. -
| Nor does the Speaker hesitate to
critcise the policy of greed and con-
quest which has made the military
! draft a necessity. 1t wants to know
how Mr. Chamberlain's warlike pro-
! cedure-the forcing of a conflict he
/ declared would be immoral and mex
cusable-has bettered the English peo-
pie or the British empire. He has de-
! liberately forced CONSUMPTION upon
I u.s. says the Speaker. I'VE want an
army for use beyond the seas; and few
countries have ever dared to ship of
citizen soldiers. If the defense of oul
own shores is all that is wanted we
! have always had plenty Of soldiers and
( volunteers, except perhaps at this mo-
| ment, when Mr.. Chamberlain is in pow
| er. With Mr.. Chamberlain directing
our foreign or our colonial policy, every
/ adult ought to be armed to the teeth
Are We to legislate for all time upor

These are the fruits of imperialism:
the inevitable results Of syndicate con-
troll in the affairs of state: the Incl
dents of immoral conquests carried on
for unholy purposes, as Mr. Chamber
lain himself said two years ago in de-
scribing the contemplated invasion of
the South African republics.
The evils of CONSUMPTION a.e thus de-
picted by this English journal, and its
words and warnings should be needed
in this country ere we drift TOO far
from the mornings Of a republic into
the bloody seas Of empire.
Mark the cost and mark the conse-
quences!" says the Speaker What
becomes Of the liberty of the person ?
We shall all go about as 'ticket-of-Ieave
men with paper passes in our pockets
and the fear of government in our
souls. If John Bull quits his domicile
ne must fill up papers for the govern
ment. He is like a pauper with status
Of irremovability, only his papers are
kept by the war Office instead Of by the
local government board. He is con-
script once and for all-the instrument
OF a tyranny, even though that tyranny
be yelled and mitigated by representa-
tive or republican institutions Great
as may be our alarm and Indignation
at the growth-the corrupt. wastefui
and unnecessary growth-of military
expenditure, it is certain that the tax
OF a mercenary army is nothing to the
blood tax Of CONSUMPTION. You may
save in your military estimates, YOU
may even be preserved from small

almost all that favorably distinguishes
England from the continent and has

continental liberalism
These are the brave and patriotic
sentiments of a loyal English journal.
whose words will yet strike deep into
the hearts of the English masses. It
can distinguish between the projects
Of Cecil Rhodes and the welfare of the
British government. It sees d differ
ence between Chamberlain and Eng
land. 1t realizes the seIfshness of the
man and the peril of the country. 1t
is not a trait, or a copperhead, but a
wise, patriotic representative of the
free press which has only the welfare
of the country at heart and cares moth
ing for the politicians who happen to
hold the reins of government. It can
see through the mask of loyalty the
office-holders wear and it will yet show
the English people that the flag they
love is being used to cloak the schemes
of avarice

The acknowledgements VOTE.

The German born American that sup
ports the Hanna ticket viii be about as
great a curiosity in this campaign as
the silver mine owner who endorses 50
cent silver. This German American
vote win be an important factor in
the presidential contest. Tt absolutely
controls results in two or three states
that were carried by Mckinley in 1886,
and will go a long ways towards Civ
ing Bryan the electoral votes of sew
eraI other states that are indispensable
to Hanna's success. The trienniaI con-
veEtion of the North American Turner
bund was held at Philadelphia at the
same time that Mark Hanna held his
convention. This convention was COM
posed Of delegates from every German
society in the United States. The city
in which it was held was filled with
delegates to the Republican national
convention. Mark Hanna and his CO.
horts dominated everything. They set
their agents at work with the Turner'S
and tremendous pressure was exerted
to suppress any expression by the Ger
mans that could be construed as hos
tile to Mckinley. Yet iu spite of all
these influences and conditions the
Turner convention adopted these res
OlutiOns:
We recognize the right Of all people to
defend with arms of warfare their liberty
and Independence. We consider every at
tempt, through the methods of war, of
territorial expansion as opposed to civ
ilZatiOn and as an act of brute force.
We condemn every effort to extend the
blessings of civilization with sword and
gun as one based upon hypocrisy and
greed for gain.
We protest against the policy of con-
quest of this government and against
every attempt toward expanding the do
main of the United States by force.
While the Hanna organ of this city
has expressed the opinion that the
German born citizens are an ignorant
and undesirable class, they are not so
regarded by the Hanna politicians of
the east, and the loss of the German
vote is viewed by the Hanna managers
with grave concern. McKinleyism and
Imperialism will be buried next NOvem-
Der by an avalanche of German Ameri-
can votes.

Women and Drinking.

New York SUM-
There is no question in my mind" said
man of observation and experience.
that the drinking of intoxicating
liquors is on the increase among women,
that is to say, women of the better class.
of the best class, I might almost say
Various causes may be cited, but l think
there is no one cause more answerable
than the high ball, a plain whisky,
Scotch or American, relieved only by a
bit of ice and a dilution of carbonic-
charged water This makes a nice looking
drink in a long glass; and it Is undoubted-
~ pleasant to most palates after a very
little cultivation. 1t used to be that not
one woman in 10000 had the courage or
the desire to ask for whisky as a tipple
indeed, il was considered vulgar, and a
woman, who might get under the influence
of wine ard not think it a serious matter.
would shrink from taking drink of
whisky in a public place. Now that is
all changed and a high bali is extremely
popular AID quite as good form as any
wine that ever give its color to the cup.
It is altogether in the name I think, for
even yet the women won't ask for whisky.
A high ball seems to be a different thing
and they call for them as easily as q
man would Whether they know what q
high bali IS / cannot say, but can safely
say a hundred women drink whisky now
where ten did ten years ago, which was
before the advent Of the high ball.

six have shown as large liabilities, -
says Dun's Review of Trade In the

the country upon its unparalleled era
of prosperity. The returns also show
"a larger number of small failures than
ever reported in any year but one"

TRIPLES!

Our cars are no better-in themselves
than the cars of other lines. 1t is
what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance: The seats in our re-
clining chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-clean and cool. Our
dining cars have electric fans, and are
gorgeously decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometer, which the
porter constantly cOnsults in order to
keep the temperature of his car as
nearly uniform as possible.
By themselves, these things are tri-
fes, but the sum total of them goes a
long way toward making a trip over
the Burlington a mighty enjoyable eX-
perience.
Burlington trains leave Denver 4 and

KELLY WILL LIVE
POPULAR COLORED MAN AN
NOUNCEs HIS INTENTION
To Make Speeches for Mr. Mckinley
Next Week.

Doc" Kelly, the well known colored
drayman and street orator, who was
stabbed Monday night by Gottleib
Kotteke. announced last night that he
expected to be able to open his campaign
for Mckinley and Roosevelt within a
week 1t was reported several times yes
terday that he had died. and considerable
regrets were expressed on all sides, and
among all classes, but Doc" is worth
ten dead men yet. He is getting along
finely and Will recover. DR.. Fordyce was
able to give positive assurances to that
effect last night.
Doe" Kelly has a strong constitution
and nerve OF steel and nobody in Wich-
tia can give death a better fight than he
ian. To be sure he had a bad wound,
but skillful surgery in this age can ac-
compIish wonders.
The white man who stabbed him was
taken to the county jail yesterday and he
will be fortunate If he doesn't have 10
suffer long for his uncalled for attack on
the popular negro for whom everybody
has a warm feeling.
Kotteke, after getting sober. expressed
regrets at what he had done. He claim
ed that he remembered nothing Of the
occurrence. He came from Minnesota to
this county recently and had been work
ing as a harvest hand for Mr.. Ort, west

morning, when the first issue Of the
Eagle come off the press. To spit on the
sidewalk from now on will cost the spit
ter twenty-five dollars in cold cash.
The ordinance IS the subject Of much
controversy already. II provides that any
one who spits upon any sidewalk, OF
upon any floor or steps of any church,
theatre, public hall, depot, street car or
other public conveyance, in the city of
Wichita shall be subject to a fine of not
more than s25.
Is the ordinance constitutional? That's
the question asked by everybody. Vet
eran spitters say it is not They claim
that it is against the rights Of man.
Splitting. they insist, is a necessity and
not a habit except in the case of men
who use tobacco. Then splitting becomes
a habit and a nuisance. They. think the
ordinance should be aimed against spit
tiers who use tobacco, and not against
the ordinary everyday splitter from nat
ural necessity One high city official Is
Of the same mind, but he thinks the best
plan now is to arrest all sptters and
have the constitutionaIity of the ordin-
ance judicially settled. Then. again. the

it applies to private property. such as
opera houses and halls. The claim IS
made tina the city has no right to say
that a man can't spit on the Auditorium
floor if the manager OF that building al
lows it. Many conventions are held there
and If the ordinance is enforced every
statesman who participates in the DELHI
erations IS liable 70 be yanked out of
there and taken to jail Again, the claim
is made that as splitting is a necessity,
the city can't stop people from expector-
ating on the sidewalk or anywhere else
unless something is supplied by the city
to spit into. Therefore cuspidors at con-
venient intervals along the streets. OF
within convenient range in public places.
