Newton II. Fairbanks is being urged
for Congress by his friends.
The defeat of three OF the best ana
most acceptable candidates for Alder
men last Tuesday, was due 10 the
apathy or backsliding of the voters of
their own party. Mr.. Fitzner, of the
Twelfth Ward, Mr.. Hyde, of the Twen'
tieth Ward, ana Mr. Dobyns, of the
Twcnty-lirst Ward, were men of cY-
c"pilonally good standing, and not n
word could he said against their can
dldacy. They received splendid sup
port from the respectable Democratic
voters of their respective wards, but
their Republican friends for some un-
accountable cause failed to give them
the support to which they were enti'
tied. They all made splendid cam
paigns, however and will no doubt be
heard from again in the local political
field, ana that, too, In the near fu-

Editor The Eagle:
Dear Slr-Evcry now ana then there
appears In the press some announce
mcnt regarding n possible increase OF
| the taxation upon the property or this
| corporation or that. Immediately
thereafter follows another announce
mcnt that the school teachers or some
other body of taX-caters are smacking
their lips over a prospective increase In
salaries. Such Is at present the case In
regard to Judge Tulcy's recent decision
affecting the traction companies. Can
II be possible that taxes are collected
for no other purpose than to find their
way into the pockets of the already
ovcipald schoolmarms ana the other
small armies of pap-suckersG
Is there no other purpose to which
our taxes can be applied? Can not
some small part be used to pave the
streets or mend the br0ken-dOwn
bridges? If increased taxation Is only
to result in increased wages for tax
eaters then our so-callcd taX-tlodglng
crusadcs are nothing more than hum
bugs. JUSTICE.
