See notice elsewhere. Tbe Wichita city band and drum corps and the colored jubilee singers furnished the music last night for the Republican meeting at the Burton car works hall. There was a large crowd present who was quite anxious to hear one" of the leading speakers in the state, Gen. Cald welL The moeting was called to order by oaDt. fewopo and Mr. A. M. Sturdevant was announced as chairman. Gen. Cald well was received with enthusiastic cheers and in responding said the men who repre j-ont the people are not the government. The people receive commands from no ono and give commands to everybody. "Your decision when you have voted makes representative's; makes laws." By law tbe laborer has his homestead; his wages can't bo taken from him, and in his assessment the full value of his property is not assessed. The rights of married women are better protected than in any other state. The Alliance makes the mistake to sav that no man labors, but farmers, but the 1,000,000 rail road men labor. The miners, the mechanics are laborers. This land is a land of toil: and the only land on earth where the toilers receive a reason able compensation for their labor, not possible what they ought to receive. The lanr.a have increased more than the popu lation. "We raise more wheat aud corn than we can consume with the people we have; last year we raised corn enough for 72.000.0X).000 and we onlv hud onlv fir. .non - 000,000 of people. We have touched bot tom and from this time on the people will gain upon the farm and in three years we will consumo at home evary grain of wheat or corn, and all our stock. AVe are a wasteful people, and glad we have been able to be so." The men who came to Kansas were not the pompercd nieu of the world, but poor men and had to borrow money.

Mr. Pon nington has patented a blank abstract which for utility, practicability and com pleteness, surpasses anything we havo yet seen in that lino.

Shippen, temporarily occupy ing the pulpit of tho First Unitcrian church, Wichita, will bo glad to meet all who are interested in Unitarinnism and who wtah to know more about the new theology. Mr. Shippeu will be in Couucil hall, 213 South Water htrcot, Tuesday, Thursday aud Saturday afternoons of this week, from 4 o'clock call (J. J. S. Turnloy, Esq., of Runnymede, who has boon some months in England, has re turned, and tpout the day in tho city yes terday accompanied by Mr. Sepping,an English capitalist. Our reporter was given to understand that a number of wealthy English gentlemen will visit southwest Kansas in the very near future, following which something will happen of very great importance to this city, Mr. O. n. Balch and wife are up from Texas on a visit They consider Wichita their homo. Mrs. B. says thoro is no other town like Wichita. For some time past they have been looking over Dallas, Sher man, Fort Worth and other Texas towns, and expect to go down again to Galveston this week to look aftor iuvostmonts, but hoixs to be able soon to return for good to tho bast town of its ago and sic in tho world. sometimes brings a stress of hard times. Ihe Alliance propose as a remedy that the government shall make money, print money at a very small per cent, at 1 per cent and although Uncle Sam is the rich est man on earth and yet he has to pay 4 per cent for money and lend it at 1 per cent. This would require a change of the constitution, a very difficult thing to do. Tho other remedy is to turn this govern ment into one vast rmwnshon. nut their yiaui into a vast ware nouse and get mum:.) uui, o, in ue lair, ine govern mont has to allow all class of persons to do tho same thing, the cotton, the coal and tho manufactures must be allowed to de posit and wait for better prices. This again is unconstitutional, Lut even if the con stitution could lie changed :t is wholly impractical. If the com crop of Kansas last year would fill a train of cars the locomotive would be whistling in Ban gor, Me., and the caboose would be just leaving Denver, Col. When could its shedi be built to hold the crops, if you would add the other crops and the manu factures. But if you could find ttie sheds, still, the whole matter would destroy pro gress; it would paralyze labor. AVe are hungry; we work to get food. We are cold; we work to get warm. We realize that it is "through the roof to tho stars," and when the government comes in to re lieve us of all tho toil and labor it destroys effort. The other remedy is that the Government is to make money. Now, how sire we to get it? But, Pome way orother, it will get into our pockets. There is only one way to get money. Labor and toil, alone, get money. No one suffers more when money is plenty. Don't make tho mistake that tho banker will suffer. Xo, it will bo the laborer who will suffer. There is nothing more difficult to under stand than this matter of circulation, and those who talk most about it seem to know least about it. Tho eastern mnn is mora conservative They don't conceive of the nmount of the circulating medium necessary to transact tho business of the west. Wo are broad as the prairie and are bold in business. We are not afraid. All tho foreign commerce of Great Britten is not so large as the tomtgo which is carried by one railroad passing the city of Wichita. The free trade of the states is a vast volume of business our people aro the richest people on the globe, no other nation can afford such a volume of trade. If the laboring of England, Germany, and other counties stood on the same level with our own, we could afford free trade but until these laborers are jls well paid as our own, wo can't afford to level down, but whenever we can level these laborers up to our own laborers, we are ready to level up. The Democratic party is like the dog which turns round two or three times to find a bed to lie down in, the dog follows the habits of its ancester the calf, which contracted this habit in making its bed in the crass and the dot; still keens tin the habit. After the grass is all gone, so the Democratic party which opposed free labor because it is tho opponent of slave labor and though the cause is gone it still hunts for its bed in slavery, and so it has always opposed the protection idea which has made the working nmn an important fac tor in this countr3. 1 appeal to your mem ory if the laboring man s wages have not gone up and the price of articles you pur cliase has gone steadily down. I can re member when a pound of good butter would not buy a yard of cotton cloth or a pound of nails. Iow you can buy a pound of nails with a quart of skimmed milk. And so with every article of clothing, ! every article in your home and in the con struction of your hoiie. For a series of thirty vears the price of things ou use are going clown and the price of labor in creases, is croinjr up. The laborer does not get his share but labor is going in the right direction year by year; it is progres sing. Statistics show that if you take the men who fail with those who succeed you will find tl at tho manufacturer makes no more than the farmer. But ono man of the sixty rich men of Americans has made his wealth from manufacturing. Carnegie, and he is &o mixed up in railroads it is hard to tell whether he has made his money out of railroads or manufacturing. You are the government, and when you eo to vote von are a traitor to your best mterest if you vote for the man who rep resents a poncv wuicn progresses, oven u your brother should ask you for your vote; it is not a question of men but a question of principle. Ave are a more moral eople. a soberer people, than we were thirty j'cirs ago. If ji tramp comes along and wants you to discharge an old servant aud employ him you say no, I don't want you. ine Kepublican part3'is tho only party who burned, with interest in the toiler, ft turned aside from the courtly Seward and chose the poor man from the prairies of Il linois, in the war the tanuer boy and the jvoor boy f rom the towpnth, as the great civil ruler. At the closo of this statement enlisted great applause, in dicating that Mr. Luling's request would be fully granted. Mr. Buckner was then loudly called, and promptly responded by some very appro priate remarks. At the close of Mr. Buck ner's remarks a general voice was heard from the audience, Henleyl Henleyl Mr. Henley responded by saying this was out of his district, but felt it his duty to call attention to the platform of the Republican party, which demanded all the relief for which the people and the Republicans had been so long clamoring, and that if he should succeed in this election he would certainly do all in his power to carry out the prin cipal of the party, and see to it that some of the unnecessary expense of the state should be suspended, and that the voice of Sedgwick county would be heard, and that the will of his constituents should be complied with in full. Sedgwick county had honored herself in electing Mr. Doug lass to the legislature two years ago, when, although inexperienced and unac quainted, ho so impressed himself on the house as to secure the chairmanship of the best committee the judiciary, and before the session closed he was recognized by his followers as one of the most earnest, conscientionus and efficient legislators of that body, always working and voting in the interest of his constituents. His opponents are trying to falsify his record by showing his opposi tion to tho stay law, but a careful perusal of the journal will show that through his instrumentality such a bill was passed in the house but failed in the senate. It would be a calamity to retire so valuable and efficient a public servant. The colored quartette "were dandles," appearing in a number of clever songs which wero in keepiug with tho enthus iasm of the meeting. COUNCIL SESSION. "AS 1TI1ERS SEE US." An editor, of course, receives many nnonymous communications, many writ ten threats from people too cowardly to arjpend their own names, eta, etc., nil of which, as a rule, go straight to the waste basket to be recalled never again. But we will make an exception to the rule for this once and give a letter which was received yesterday. The writer, judging from the manuscript, must be a woman, and judg ing from her style we suggest that she ap ply for an engagement with Jere's Calam ity menagerie. AVhat really brought out her complimentary (?) effusion wo are at as great a loss to guess as would be the most casual reader. In tnrn we dedicate it to the editorial fraternity at large. It is as follows: AVichita, Kan., October 9, 1890. Editor Eagle: Sir Allow me to con gratulate you on your "Bill Nye" peices. It seems impossible that one of your cali bre should understand so well the art of imitation. "Bill Nye" is a fool. That is his busi ness, lie can't be aught else; while you cannot be honestly denominated a fool. My observation through life so far, con cerning editors or newspaper men, as a rule, has been that they are a weak, puly, cowardly, unprincipled set; cranky, sore headed, and utterly incapable of manly, honorable employment. They deal in small things, too insigniffcant for tho no tice of true, honorable manhood; are oft times jilted by somu woman, realizing her superiority to them, or dishonestly dealt with by a .riend or associate, which causes them to doubt the world and determine upon wholesale revenge to mankind gen erally. Being too narrow minded and ig noble, to, in time, pass such things into oblivion. Such, I say, editors are as a rule. There is said to be exceptions to all rules, but never delude yourself with the idea, for an instant, that a thing like you will ever be a happy exception. If you and your's are constituted as the rest of humanity, your own will require all your time and advice. I assure you wo are perfectly capable of caring for our own, nt all times, without an iota of assistance from a cowardly cur like you. As far back as can be remembered the women of our families have ever been true wives and mothers; can you say as much for your own? The men have been bmve, capable, strong, honorable men; not one single puly, sickly, cowardly, unprincipled editor's blood in the whole lino of an cestry. Tlie "Bill Xye" peices are for my benefit; this is for yours. May you profit thereby. KANSAS L.UV.N THN.MS LEAGUE. Gen. Caldwell's speech the chair allied attontion to the fact that the candidates were present, and as soon as the names of George L. Douglass, Judge Buckner, Charles II. Luling, AV. S. Mor ris and J. E. Henley wore mentioned the audience called, "Hear thom! Hear them!" Mr. Henley was called for. He arose and stated that as he was not a can didate in this district ho would therefore move that G. L. Douglass be heard. The audience then almost unanimously called for Mr. Douglass.

AVilliam Faucett, of Kingman, and At torney McMechan returned from King fisher yesterday and report that the body of James Hasty was taken ont of the Cimarron river Sunday morning. It was found just below where the Rock Island crosses. A few days ago he was heard remark at Dover, a small town near that point, that troduced and spoke for a few minutes on i he would not live long. On the body was platforms of the Republican party, show' ing that all tho demands of the people were fully and explicitly met in the Re publican platform. At the close of Mr. Douglass' speech Mr. Luling was called and presented him self iu front of the audience, and called their attention to the f.ct that the people of the vicinity had once supported him for the office of clerk of the district court, nnd if they had found his administration to be suoh as it should be, he atraiu kindlv asked their suDoort. and found a bottle of a mixture of whisky and laudanum, and it was supposed that he had taken a drink of it while sitting on the bridge and fell off into the river. It is said a big drink of the Kingfisher whisky without any laudanum would be enouga to knock a man off a bridge who had no intentions of suicide. The lUllroad Bond Proposition to Come Be fore the People Uoutine Work and Nothing Heard About Money from Spltzer &. Co. Aside from routine work last evening the council decided to submit to the peo ple the proposition to vote $30,000 bonds to the Dakota, Wichita and Galveston rail road company. There was little discus sion aside from the report of the railroad committee. There wero some inquiries about the bonds sold some months ago to Spitzer & Co. Some of the councilmen wanted the money according to the con tract and protect the city from paying in terest on the money not received, and also interest on the amount duo the paving contractors. No definite information could be secured. THE PROCEEDINGS. Members Caswell, Carson, Schnitzler, Buckeridge, Brown, McKee, Williams, Glaze and Martin present, Chairman John son presiding. The police judge for month of September submitted report showing $2;S90. Schnitz ler moved acceptance of rep jrt and money turned over to tho city, which prevailed. Cit3 physician submitted report from eoruary to fcept. u uit. uity engineer submitted report on opening Seventeenth street from Lawrence to Fourth, which was referred to public improvement com mittee. AA". A. Smith submitted communication to sell ATichita Hospital building to the city for $10,000. On motion of Martin it was referred to the health committee. A petition asked that proposition of AA'm. Greiffenstein to sell the city park land be accepted. Schniitzler moved the prayer of the peti tion be granted with Brown a second. Schnitzler said Greiffenstein would take 20,000 for forty acres park and if this was accepted J. O. Davidson would donate twenty acres to the cit3', adjoining. Mar tin stated that by accepting Davidson's proposition $10,000 in general improve ments be made and 9,000 expended by the city for bridges. The Davidson proposition was called for and was read. It was discovered that the proposition bears date of Sept. 1 and to be left open to the council ono month. McKee moved to defer one week when the chair said there was a motion before the council. Coffin recalled that a motion to "defer" was in order, when the chair allowed the motion to defer and the nega tive wis supported by Brown, Caswell, Carson, Martin and Schnitzler. There were six in the affirmative. It was then agreed to have a meeting next Mondaj evening and in the meantime see if Mr. Davidson would renew his twenty acre proposition. Bills on first reading amounting to $3,000 referred to the committees. Appro priated for miscellaneous purpose, $4,992. For the citj building appropriated $4,123; the thirteenth estimate. Internal im provement bond for $1,250, issued in favor of G. AAr. Sumption. Improvement bond issued to pay J. K. Sawyer for Linwood park improvement, amounting to $1,050, interest 7 per cent. Glaze, of finance, reported that improve ment bond of $1,300, issued to Anawalt, could not be disposed of so readily and wanted $500 bonds. The change was or dered. Buckeridge said he had understood that Spitzer & Co. had not taken up the pav ing bonds issued some time ago. They had agreed to take up the bonds by Sep tember 23, and they had not done so. The cit3 attorney said he guessed Spitzer & Co. were not fooling the city. The3' had been a little slow and claimed that the3 had been denied in getting bonds litho graphed. Glaze suggested that AVichita could have lithographed a big pile of. bonds by this time tiud Spitzer & Co. hat better have that work done here. Carson moved city attorney notify Spitzer & Co. to take bonds. The motion prevailed after some general discussion. Glaze said workmen grading on the Jocelyn paving contract had not been paid for four months, aud were threatened to bring suit tomorrow. He suggested that a message be sent for some money after the meeting. The committee on prisons was instructed to look up the question of purchasing horse and patrol wagon for the police. Carson, of tho committee, immediately said he was opposed to it, when the chair man said Carson could bring in his report at the next meeting, according to action of the council. Tho contract for constructing Douglas avenue bridge at Chisholm creek was awarded to J. K. Sawyer for $1434. He was the only bidder, and tho city engi neer's estimate was $1,497. AA'illiams wanted the city to do the scavanger business for all business houses. His experience in keeping alle3s near him clean was not very satisfactory. He wanted tho city to do that work. Mosbacher thought every business man in the city should clean up his own ranch. It would be a costly experiment for the city, as a city. Chairman Johnson suggested McKee would be a good man to do the work for thecit3 There was a smile as it was re called Johnson was decidedly personal on McKee, who once upon a time caught a dog without a collar. The matter was not settled definitely. The railroad committee reported on the Dakota, AVichita & Galveston bond propo sition. The proposition be amended to call for $S,000 depot. Carson moved to adopt the report and on a call voto two went "aye" and one "no." The motion was declared carried and no roll call. AA'illiams moved an election be called to vote the $30,000 bonds for the road. The roll call showed: Affirmative Brown, Carson, Caswell, Coffin, Glaze, Martin, Mossbacher, Schnitzler, AA'illiams. Xegative Buckridge,' McKee. McKee inquired what bad been done in regard to cutting down grade of street rail way on the AA"est Side. AVIlliams reported that Fitch said he wanted more time. Larson reported .HiacK, tne coat man on the AA'est Side, wanted the citv- to pay his telephone rent. Carson thought the city out to help Black out to that extent, as the police sometimes ued Black's telephone. The matter was referred. Carson offered a resolution to allow E. V. Smith fc5 per month for assistant clerk formerly receiving tdo. The motion pre vailed. Schnitzler reported gas lamps under all night electric lights, and especially in the Fonrth ward was this true. Glaze said that some months ago the light committee had been instructed to straighten out the lights and Schnitzler had failed to do it. Thelonrth ward councilman was in-j strncted to readjust lights in that word. Coffin recalled that many months ago an effort had been made to rename the streets, bus no work had been done. He tnonght a new committee should be appointed to attend to that work. It was sorsjested Br THE POISON ROUTE. Florence Collins, a nineteen-year old girl in the Alice Brady den on South Fourth avenue, suicided earlv Sunday morning by taking strychnine. The fact was made known to Coroner Badger and an inquest was held yesterday morning with a jury as follows: L. AV. Minick, M. R, Clark, AV. L. Peirce, L. M. Camp, J. AV. Mosley, Robt. M. Jack. The finding was that the deceased came to death by poison by her own hand. The mother and sister of the deceased were murdered at El Dorado several months ago by Snyder, husband of the sister. A sister living in Hutchison reached the city Sunday evening. The re maius will be buried today at the city cemeter3. AT MT. HOPE. Republican Jleetlnc a Grand SuccessThe Opera Home Intenselj Crowded. Stephen Johns, one of the most efficient committeemen in Sedgwick county, after having thoroughly advertised the meeting by large posters throughout his township, at S o'clock sharp stepped upon the plat form in the opera house and was greeted 03 a crowded house, every inch of sitting and standing room having been occupied, and crowds lingering at the door. Mr. Johns called 'Squire Baker to the chair, who was received with demonstrations of applause. The chairman then introduced P. A. Rohrbaugb, who spoke earnestly for fifty minutes, discussing the issues as they are raised by the political Alliance. He was frequently interrupted with ap plause from the audience, who seemed to be in perfect s3-mpathy with the speaker. Emmet Calahau was then introduced, and spoke for more than hour. He was followed b3 Senator Beutl3 AA. S. Morris and Ed Phillips. Tiie Rev. M. Monroe being present, iu answer to some remarks of Mr Callahan, spoke for a few minutes calling in question some of the remarks of the speakers. The discussion was, how ever, good natured and pleasing to all concerned. The meeting was a magnifi cent success, and Mt. Hopo will do herself proud b3 her usual Republican majorit3 Judge AV. T. Buckner, Charles Luling and II. D. Heiserman were present shaking hands with their old friends. Commis sioner Randall was on hand and occupied a place on the platform. Every bod3' seemed pleased with tho meeting, which was a general jubilee. Put Mt. Hopo down for her usual majority. The reports that the Republicans havo all gone off after fulse God's in Sedgwick county are being rapidl3 dispelled wheii tho Republi cans have an opportunity to bo heard in their behalf.
