Some Further
Suggestions are Made.


To the Editor of the Eagle:
Only here and there an occasional spite
fence is left standing in front of resi-
denees in the city, to mar the beauty Of
the street and home. 1t is to De- hoped

/ never knew until since the new style
of overcoat or drag for men has come IN,
how much better some fellows who pass
for men would look if they were women
would be certain that no cast-off
clothing was taken by the United Chart
ties from homes where contagious dis
eases had been among the jewellers.
The Street Railway company may think
il a small thing, and uninportant, the
demand for regular conductors on theic
cars nights. to collect fares and announce
the streets; but one mostake some night
will cost them enough TO pay for conduc-
tors a long time.
The latest graft on the town comes
from the Topeka Capital. under the guise
of a especial college edition. I am glad
to know that one of our educational insti-
tutions. at least, refused to be held up

The difference between Wichita, Topeka
and hundred other towns in Kansas is,
that they are finished. The line of policy
adopted by the railroads OF the state
has been carried out as proposed. That
is. to make whistling stations and small
towns at a comfortable distance along
their respective lines and prevent a large
town being built. It has been a long,
nervy struggle. passing over almost one
generation of men; but few of the men
who were the promoters of Lawrence,
Topeka, Emporia and Fort Scott are liv-
ing. Those who are, have about retired
from active life-like the towns they live
in. they are finished. The Peerless
Princess of the Plains marches steadily
along in her growth and development-to
that remarkable degree that her own citi-
zens cannot hardly realize the situation.

bureaus chemist. This Is TO discover
IL the gum is OF the best quality and
up to the standard furnished by the
successful bidders. 1t is next tested
to see II it meets the working require
ments Of cumming stamps. The quail
tiles required by the Government in
the gum are adheslveness, luster, abb
sence OF grit, hexibllty, resistance TO
humidity and color If the gum does
not meet all these requirements 1t Is
rejected. At the present time about
800 pounds OF dry gum is used daily,
and the contractor for the present
fiscal year will be required to furnish
about 2SO,0OO pounds. The average
cost Of the dry postal gum is about
six cents per pound, and thus the daily
cost to the Government of gum for
stamps is about S4S.
Down in the basement Of the bureau
there are three big steam jacketed
kettles of the capacity of 100 gallons
EACH where the gum is made by an
established formula. This Is done by
mixing the dry gum with water, and
by carefully boiling it until the gum
is cooked The kettles are exceeding
ly clean, and the boiling must be at
just the proper degree. After the
gum is boiled it is pumped to a
settling tank, where it is strained and
reduced to the proper specific gravity.
1t is next pumped up four stories to
the stamp cumming room, where it Is
received and again strained into a
large tank fifteen feet above the floor
Another test is then made for tenn
perature and specific gravity and the
gum is ready to be conveyed by pipes
to the small tanks over the cumming
rollers, upon which it drlps in tiny
streams.
The greatest cleanliness is required
at every step in the process of boil
ing and handling the gum, and as the
gum is purely vegetable, the stamp
licker need not have the slightest
hesltancy in applying his moistened
tongue to the stamp.
The eight machines now in the
cumming room have a capacity for
61.00O sheets or 100000 stamps, in
one day of eight hours work. Both
United States postage stamps and
documentary and proprietary revenue
stamps are gummed by these ma
chimes. At the beginning of the
Spanish-American war, when there
was an urgent demand for war rev
enue stamps there were only six Of
these machines in operation. They
were run night and day to meet the
emergency, and gummed 10000
sheets or 41,000OO0 stamps, every
twenty-four hours. This large number
Of stamps furnished Uncle Sam with
some Of the sinews OF war during those
trying times. The average consump-
tion Of ordinary postage stamps q
this time is about 100000 a day.

ratl,srs. psrlIs I'm salt Lnl,..

81 have never seen the Atlantic or
the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mex
leo, but have had some experience
with salt water nevertheless" said
George Y. Russell, OF Park City, Utah.
He Is an official of the great silver
mine near Park City, which extends
deeper than any other In the world.
"Salt Lake is remarkable sheet Of
water in many ways, and bathing in
it possesses features which are unique.
1t is very invigorating and refreshing,
to be sure, but it takes some time to
become accustomed to the extraordi-
nary buoyancy Of the water. 1t is
quite impossible TO sink or to drown
in. the lake, but many people have
been killed by the water When there
is a breeze and spray Is dashed upon
bathers the water is so densely i'm
pregnated with salt that the liquid
portion cyaporates very quickly and
leaves a deposit OF salt on the skin.
On several occasions people have
drifted out while bathing or been
wrecked and thrown overheard and
afterward found dead on top Of tho
water, choked TO death by the accumu.
latiol of salt III their mouths and nos.
trils' Ordinary salt water bathing, as
I discovered to-day, is very different
from that in the Salt Lake. 1 learned
that 1 could cni1y ea,t water bathing
at Chesapeake Beach and took n trip
there. 1t is certainly very pleasant to
batho in water that is salt, but not so
salt as n Utah. But the acconmo-

FAKE INTERVIEWS.

We have had various alleged inter-
views given to the public-porporting to
have come from Republicans who have
recently visited Washington in relation
to the Senatorial matter--which are
false. Some of them we know were
false. The probability is that all
of them We're. They We're made with a
view of preventing the settlement of the
Senatorial controversy by the election of
two Republican Senators. The purpose
was evil. 1t follows that the matter was
evil One of these interviews, alleged
interviews, purported to give II conver-
sation with Deputy United States Mar
shal Clark, relating to what occurred
during his visit to Washington. Mr..
Clark is authority for saying that he
has not been interviewed as alleged,
and that he did not say any such thing
as was alleged to anybody. Mr.. Clark's
statement suggests, very forcibly, that
all the interviews with parties returned
from Washington are false.

members of the Legislature have agreed
to elect two Republican Z. s. Senators
can be relied ON, we most heartily tender
them our congratulations. The agree
ment indicates Il better feeling than we
expected at present, and we believe that
threefourths of the Republicans in the
State will join us in saying, that they
will be sustained for the good sense thus
manifested. Only enemies of party unity
and aspiring Democrats will condemn
the said election or belittle the men who
made it possible. The party will in the
future reward the men who insured unity
at the next election and made victory
possible. BY compromise the party will
be saved from defeat, and only pretended
friends will shed crocodile tears and
prate of dishonor. The great howl over
the election of Senator Quay in Penn
sylvania has already subsided and we
may expect TO see the same thing in our
State. particularly aS every tlue Rcpub-
lican prefers victory 10 defeat. The Re
publicans by union elected their candi-
dates at the last election and the result
has been satisfactory and the lesson
should prove profitable. United we stand
divided we fall.

A Morgan CIerkship.

Among places eagerly sought after are
clerkships in the great banking house Of
j. l.. Morgan Il Co. Fathers with sons
lust starting out in life watch for open
ngs at the corner of Wall and Broad
streets. The waiting list is nearly as
long ms that of the Union club in its
palmiest days. The head of the house
takes II personal interest in the welfare
lnd advancement of his employees and
never engages Il beginner ut salary Of
less than $1,000 year. Only capable.
worthy young men are admitted to his
employment, and he feels that n bov
who does not deserve 1000 Il year de-
serves nothing-that is, he does not want
tliin at any price. While clerks iii the
average banking business houses are
starting off with $40 week, and are
glad TO get so much, the lucky ones at
Morgan's are receiving $191S.
Morgan has made Il great many sue
ccsses out Of the men under him. Faith
ful clerks soon buy homes in desirable
quarters of the city. Whether the firm
puts them in the market or not the

WHAT THEY REPRESENT.

Assuming that the votes east for Unit
ed States Senators at Dover represent
ballots cast at the November election.
the vote east against Mr.. AddickS, and
the election Of two Republican United
States Senators, is relatively inSignifi-
cant. Broadly speaking, the balloting il
six to one in Mr. AddickS' favor.
The opposition votes representing No
vember election ballots are cast by six
men representing an average Of 502 Of
the peoples ballots. OF an aggregate of
SO12.
The favorable votes are cast by 20
men representing an average OF 951 votes
OF the people, or an aggregate Of 49,
527 votes.
These figures show the division of the
Republican sentiment on the Senatorial
question. They do more than that. They
suggest the possibility Of the dpfcat Of
the purpose of the 1887 votes. in cast
ing their ballots at the November clec-

UN-REPUBLICAN CLIQUE.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in comment

who refuse to vote for Mr.. Aldicks for
United States Senator as an ''m- Repub-
lican clique. II says:
The so-called regular Republicans. or
10 speak plainly, the du Pont faction, can
control six votes, and it is these six votes
that are preventing the election Of a
Senator. The Democrats are hopelessly
in the minority, but they have voted as
Il unit for salisbury, registering % votes
every time the roll is called for their
candidate. But the little faction of du

ARE THEY HEATHEN.

In view of the fact that Americans
generally regard the Buddhists OF In
dia as heather. the testimony Of Prof.
Maxwell Somerville, Of the Pennsylvania
University of Pennsylvania, deserves re-
spect. Mr.. Maxwell sojourned among
the Buddhsts for period, and in IA
lecture at Chester the other evening he
paid them this tribute:
"The paramount principles peryading
the entire system of the Buddhistic re-
ligion are self-ahnegation, meditation
and obedience to code which any Chris
tian might endorsed code of morals
which, if strictly observed in Christian
countries, would elevate society to a
higher standard than has been reached
