To the almost entire exclusion Of editori al,


To the almost entire exclusion Of EDITOR al,
locals, news and general miscellany, we this
week give extracts from the papers oil our
late editorial visitors. The .average amount
OF matter published by each paper was from
three to six columns. Such portions OF these
descriptions as relates to Wichita, and to this
section together with general conclusions are
only reproduced by US. All OF it together
would make book as large as an unabridged
bible. OIihe adverse criticisms of our city
and our people by many Of the editors, we
have only to say that their deductions were
made up principally from what was told them
and not from what they saw, yet much OF II
we must admit as a true bill. After all, the
good words far outweigh the harsh words.
For want of room. we have not published ex-
tracts from over half Of the papers IN our
hands, but will publish much more if the mat
ter proves entertaining or desirable. 10
those who have blamed US with saying too
much for the country these extracts are SIN
eerely recommended
