Iu die article from the Kansas City Times upon Kansas journalists and also in the brief mention of it as they appeared hi these columns 3'csterday morning tncre were somy errors. Iu the coirmeut item it should have read "size" of his pocket book, icotcid of "use," etc., and in con clusion of the article proper the editor is made to say Ui..l he does not want any thing outside of his "name," etc., when it should have read "home." These mistakes, while they may seem trivial to the reader, are annoying and vexatious to the writer, inasmuch as they smack of an egotism un lookcd for in the modest gentleman, and not at all befitting the subjeel of this matter. Written for the Eagle. THE ENGINEER'S STORY. A rolling Plonc gathers no moss. Era poi ia Globe. And a setting hen never gets fat. Eldo rado Republican And the watched pot never boils "Ten thousand people have moved away from Kansas City within the last three years." John F. Phillips in Congress It is expected that Dr. Phillips will join the procession of emigrants, ducc the voters of Kansas City sat down on his con. gressional aspirations Tuetdivy. One-boy in Springfield, Mass., is so bright that he has got into the newspa pers. The brightness consisted in asking his school teacher how far a procession of the Presidents of the United Slates would reach if th"y were placed in a low. "When bup. gave it up he answered: "Fiom "Wash ington to Cleveland." Abratn 8. Hewitt lias been elected mayor of Kcw York, but the vote given Henry George indicates that the sceiah'.sts and an nrchkUi as a political element in the met ropolis arc not to be despised. It is, of couiv, conceded that thousands of honest, order-loving woillingmcn voted for him, but by far the gieatcr portion of - strength undoubtedly came from the class es which, if Hipy had this power, would subvert the present order cf things. The vote show i thai thousands of ItpuMicans who would have voted for Roosevelt if that gentleman and Hewitt had been the only c.u didatcs in the field Tuesday cast their "ballots for nev.-itt in order to more fully assure the defeat of Henry George. New York gets a belter iL-iyor than it has had for year.? past, but i would have secured a still more efficient officer if it had chosen Theodore Roosevelt. "I was running the "2o," sir, Pulling the fast express. And all that day my mind was filled Willi .1 dread I could not repress. "And I stood with my hand on the throttle. With my eyes on tlic winding track, Where the shadows threw out their gitost y arai3 Seeming to hold mo back. "Hut I heeded not the wsrniag. O'er the shining steel we sped; And bathed in a sea of sunshine I saw the bridge ahead. "Great heavens! the "draw" was open; And jti-t on the other side, A tiny child of four or live (The bridgeuiauV babe) I spied. "He too had seen the peril, Would Love or Duty rch-n? Would he save his child, or, in duty, Lose her and cave the train? "Well, lie never left his post, sir, Though his fnce was deathly white, And I just had to shut my C3es, sir, To hide that awful siirht. "Poor Jack! before I could stop the train He'd the little one ciose to his breast Kissing the eyes, the brow, the lips, So still in the lonjr, last rest. "They buried her there on the hillside By her mother's grave, and Jack He crossed the sea to other lands But every year sends back "A box of liowers for the two lone graves; And we've heard on the road, since then, That over in proud old England He's one of the titled meii. "That in his caily manhood He had "married lor love and they, The parents, who cursed "his folly" Vowed for it he'd dearly pay "Re that as it may, 'twas a heait, I think, Loyal, brave and truo That would sacrifice all for duty's sake To be true to its trust: Don't you'" D.

A NEW 1'OKM OK CITY UOViniNJIENI J, correspondent of the St. Louis Globe- mcmocral iells of the good results of the present method of local government at Memphis. It will be recalled- that a few 3'ears since, the municipal charter having been ?ni rendered, the city was turned into a 'legislative taxing di-trid." The city is now governed by a council of eight Member., elected by the people. The distiiujui hing fcatuies of the new system is the absence of all power whatever for the contraction of depl. All public work must be p-iid Tor in cash. All cslimMes for com- 'jr iwDtimiluRN :ue made up in detail, ami form what is called the budget. it appear.-, that this budget mu'-t he sub- mitt' d to the L'ui.ature of the .state for ap- Tiiov.il btf'ic the exncndituics cm take place.

IT E.NOUOU If anything were lacking to convince I the doubting Thomses that the free trade Yagarifsadlitred to and persistently ad vo- ated by certaiu Democratic leaders, il seems lo us that the lesultof lucsdayjj election ou;ht to be .sufficient to cam cou- riclion. This being an off year, so to pcik, the only issue bcfoic the peop e, ia the congressional contests at least, was that if t-irilf. The light was made on that issue and the k suit of the election hov,-. is cleanly and unmistakably as any propo sitiou could be demonstrated that the people )f the country al large do not mean to have Iheir best aul mt ital interests jeopaid- j ized not to scy destroyed by tearing away She sifcrua: J: that Lave been so careful! v thrown nroand American industries at ionic by wie and beneficent laws, such as piave boon enacted bv the Republican larty and for twenty-five cars enforced by iRopublienn aaminist rations. It .seems to is that tills tariff question should be con- sidercti-Tts practically t-cltled. This done. land oae or two other leading questions of right and justice definitely adjusted, lotibly that of pensioning the soldiers of ic Union, and we can rest in some degree if assurance lor peace and prorpenty. lote it be. lo U.e E.'.ltor of tho E.ip;lc. It has been wiid and asserted, by an tique and modern anthroiites, Uiat theie was "nothing new under Ihe bun." We aic inclined to think that now the other side of the woild has turned up ana that many things are new under the sun. We will not go into details and ment.on the constellations iu the fckies, nor the evolu tions, in the caith or even the new pai ties and combinations in politics. Yvre dimply want to speak of the German Fair where several featuies .struck us as being new and original. First v,o enter the supper department, 3Irs. Tush and Sehnitzler fuperintendents. Those ladies and a full corps of assistant besides the young lady waiters who wore the old Geinian costume mid looked ex ceedingly charming. The tables wcie served in splendid style and gave gicat sat isfaction. Next came the coffee stand with fresh "pretzels," Mns. A. Ludike sole proprietor, also iu - costume, The little lady looked as bright as a dollar, iris. Kopplin had many customers at the ladies' bland, besides she got up many little new tricks that caused much merriment and made money. 3Irs. Weipsenfiuch and Thctgenhort had a beautiful collection of domestics and deserve credit for the assis tance given to the fair in general. The Spanish booth was always crowded with customer';; whether the 3'oung Indies was the greatest attraclicn, or the fiuit3 and candies, we would not venture to say. The doll booth was the joy of the little folks and the wonder of the old, for that a dolly-bride should have a groom, you never saw licforc, but here it was, a regular wed ding march. The fan cy wood stand was under the control of 3Irs. A. C. Weber, our genial artist, who hi ought out the finest patterns ever seen here. .ir. F. Sehnitzler held the position on the stage and did all the work on the black board. Although not connected with the church, 3Ir. Sehnitzler had kindly offered his services, and through his pleasing and happy manner has ceitainly secured a round little sum. The ofiicera of the society occupied the central booth and did justice to their por tijn in every paiticular. Fear had been expressed that the Luther ans would have lo wait a long time for a church, but this fair has helped them out and the chuich will be built at once. Wichita, Nov. 2, 1SSG.

The fire caught from the loco motive on a west bound freight train, aud the wind, blowing almost a gale at the time, carried it noithward with almost the speed of a train. The dry, dead grass furnished the best of material for fuel. The fiie, as it parsed over the pnuiies and sand hills, left only a blackened and smok ing waste behind, with occasionally a house or out building. All else was destroyed by tho fierce llames, and in several instances, it was with the greatest dilhculty that slock could be driven to plowed ground or other places of safet The farmers in the route of the fire and'in the vicinity, turned oul en masse, and extinguished the fire, but not befoie about six hund'cd tons of ha-, be sides otiier feed and implements that were in the track of the file had been destroyed.
