duty of telesraphing Associated Frees dis
odches to the world, was negleting his du-
ties, that ~hile matters Of importance were
here nothing was telegraphed,
and that he bad been requested to give place
TO a live man, has called cut An answer
which is not only personally abusive, but un-
true.
To the personal abuse We have nothing to
say at present, knowing as We do that Mr..
B. is only enderSoring to pay Ha!derman
for the city printing contract.
Mr.. Burke says:
The writer states that shortly after taking
posses.ion of The TINES he commenced
sending dispatches. That is true; and one
of the dispatches which he sent was returned
to this place by the Associated Prs. as q
specimen of the kind of dispatches they didn't
want. The officers of the Associated Press
want news, and won't take anything else.
Stuff about what The TINES isgoing to con-
tain tomorrow morning, and personal Puffs
for its editor, will not pass for news"
1t is not true that any dispatch was re
tunnel to the present management of The
TINES. The only dispatch which The
TINES did send which said anything about
"what The TINES is going to contain to-
morrow morning." was the dispatch which
gave notice that ''THE TINES would to-mor-
row morning publish the following CORES.
pondence between Gen. Larimer and the
Hon. Horace Greeley on the latter's csndi'
dacy for the Presidency" This dispatch
was not only not returned, but it was honor
ored by being forwarded to the Associated
Press of America, and was published in
nearly every paper in the United States
thus not only showing enterprise on thu
part of The TINES, and advertising the pa
per, but advertising the city Of Leavenvortf
in almost every paper in the land.
s.One of the dispatches which he sent Wal
returned to this place by the Associated
Press, as a specimen of the dispatches they
didn't want"
This is not true, unless che" stand
for Mr.. Burke. Yesterday We called upor
Mr.. Prescott. Mr.. Burke was present. Thu
question was asked if any dispatches had
been returned from St. Louis. Mr.. Prescott
handed to Mr.. Il. the following dispatch,
sent when B. was going to be editor of the
grea; consolidated:
LEAvENwoRTH, 29th March, 1871.
"On the 18th day Of April the Leaven.
worth TINES and Bulletin will be consolidate
ed, and published by the Times Printing
Co. The paper will be enlarged and other.
wise improved. A large additional capital
will enable the company to publish news
paper never equalled in the Missouri Val
ley"
1t is therefore seen that Mr.. BIS dispatch
was the one returned, as "being Of class
not wanted"
As 10 the estimation in which this man
w. S. Burke is held, We will quote from q
few Of our exchanges, deeming the testimo.
ny of unprejudiced parties the strongest and
most impartial that can be offered.
"Mr. Burke is somewhat of an esotist. "
Kansas City Times.
"We feel sorry for Burke. He has made
a brief big blow in the Times d Bulletin. "

"THE QUILL BUSTED.
The great consolidated Times d Bulletin
of Leavenworth has gone TO pieces. We re
garded the Times d. Bulletin as gigantic
failure from the time of its consolidation. ~
White Cloud CHIEF.
'Changed again. A few weeks ago the
LeavenwOrth Times e. Bulletin suddenly con-
solidated, and appeared under the control Of
W. S. Burke, of the Bulletin. Friend Burke
crowed Justify over his elevation to the head
of ''the leading pdperof the STATE" He made
a light airy paper. liz
chief defects were fippancy, unconcealed
hostility to the President, dense political ig.
norance, and Democratic tendencies upon
the issues that are advancing to the front.
a few days ago, however, this consolidated
concern unconsolidated, if We may be per.
mitted to use such a term. Burke went back
to his old quarters with a growl, from which
we gather that he failed to fulfill his part o
the consolidation contract. Now, with his
permission, We tender him little free gratis
advice, to help him in his new career. Don't
dash off your brilliant things SO fast, but
think little while you write Stop picking

ers of the Times were not satisfied with the
new arrangement, but have an idea that a
