We herewlsA, at the beginning of the fifteenth

new ont and ont Here will be found reading
suite4 to all tastes, Oa the outside are poetry,

recipes and choice miscellany. On the inside are
EDITORIALS politics. markets. local ard general news
ana selection of items from various parts of Kan
'sas we do not wish our readers to understand
shat we can keep the paper up to this standard
on our present pa.ronage-it would require four
tunes the amount to justify us in it, But we Just
want ." show what coald do, if the public
would give us the requisite support. But we
mean 70 do onr very best To keep mp good paper,
and trust that all who desire us to do So will give
asf sfheirpatronasc ndinfluencc at once Wewant
10 make Kansas news more a speciality than here
to!ore, SO that any person rec,ivi the Cliff may
md every matter of interest transpring in any
part OF the State. And shall malsc ~, effort
10 increase our circulation, and shall doubtless
succeed In a good degree, the paper will be good
advertising medium for all professional or busi-
ness men who wish to make themselves known
Throughout Northern Ka;lsas.
We think, we may say without egotisni. that the
Chic has always beet, n paper that could he re.
}iedE EapoD. OF course, II has widely differed in
sentiment from many of its readers On many NH,
lie matters; but it has always been outspokcn in
its views, and there las never been any difficulty
in knowing where to find it. We are free to con.
fess that it has not taken particular pains to seek
out the incest phrases choicest language in ex-
pressing itself, which has shocked the fine sensi-
bilities OF some fine-strung readers, while many
others have "et on" to he Mortified at its EXPRESS
ions. But with all its rough and unpolisled Ian
guase, it has never upheld wrong or nlcanness in
any shape, nor sought in polite and polished Ian,
guage to uphold popular vices and debauchcrics.
We cannot promise that we will not occasionally
"slcp over" in the manner alluded to. When we
nave anything tn say, we want to say it in plain
English; and when We have good thing, we can
not keep it to oursclf
Then, the Chief has always been standby,
when other papers have failed 1t has been issued
through bright and dark days, when papers in
every direction were failing by the score. No man
who has ever paid for the Chief has ever seen it
suspend in few weeks, leaving him minus the
greater part of his subscription money. Every
subscriber has got every number he paid for, and
some a good may more numbers than they ever
intend to pay for. During the last dozen years,
we have knowa at least twenty papers that had a
special mission to run ont the Chief They are all
gone, and their names forgotten. We have
pushed ahead when we were running i'm debt, the
same as when we weze making it pay. Do not
forget the "old reliable"
We want all the Republicans in the County to
subscribe for the Chief. During the last eight or
ten years, the Democracy have made no fight, and
there has been no interest in "going for them"
But now they are trying to get upon their legs
again, and to show fight, there will be some fun
in hitting head as it comes up. In the days
when it took work to carry the County for the
Republican ticket, the Chief was always in the
fight So it proposes to be again, whenever the
Democracy cndeavor to elect ticket of their own,
rystead of Smuggling their men into Office on Re-
publican ti6kcts.s
The appearance of the Chief is 50 altered and
improved, that its oldest friends will not know it.
The columns are widened and heightened, making
the paper equal to an eight-column paper. We
like the new heading much better than the old;
and the Indian has disappeared from the is,nette,
gvsia; place to the Great Seal of the State of Kan
sas, which We consider more appropriate. We
still retain old motto, "The Constitution and
the Union" We adopted that motto at a time
when everybody was anxious to have it known
that he was in favor Of the Constitution and the
Union, and at time when we little thought the
strength Of the Constitution and the Union would
ever be tested by fire and blood as it has since
been. What at one time partoOk somewhat of
suncOmbe, has been maintained and established
Ut the of the lives of thousands of the best
as more than ever Appropriately Constitution
