We Want a Free Bridge.

Seventeen hundred and fifty voters, proper
Is holders and and tax payers of Sedgwick
county signed new petition which was pre-
scented TO the Board OF County Commissioners
on Tuesday, asking for another vote on free
ing the big bridge, from the unaDimity and
alacrity with which the petition was signed.
two things are evident: first, = very strong
conviction in the minds of the people that the
bridge ought to be free; and, secondly, that
three-fourths of them have determined it shall
be. II three men out OF every four who
signed the petition will take the pains to go to
the polls, then not only will the county own
one of the best bridges in the State, but will
have purchased it for mere song in compari-
son to what it cost. Standing at the head of
one OF the principal business streets Of the
city, in direct line of travel of the people OF
nineteen townships out of the twenty-eight in
the county, its necessity is unquestioned, and
the policy that opposes so general a convent
ence and good is very narrow and contracted
to say fhe least. The fact that many of us
living on the east side will not use the bridge
once in a year, is nc argument why we should
compel our feIlow-cltizens on the west side,
who have an equal interest in the county and
its permanent welfare, to contribute thei.'
money to a corporation made up principally OF
non-residents, every time they come to town
on business, or force them TO go out Of their
way and take the chances on an insecure
structure. We hope to see, and we have rea-
sons for believing, that all little jealousies and
mere local interests will be laid aside and the
bridge made free.

The Wichita Savings Bank.

The Wichita Savings Bank is, without doubt,
one of the strongest as one Of the most sue
cessfu financial institutions in the State o
Kansas. We make no exceptions. Started
upon firm foundation. with its capital stock
paid up in cash and not in prommissory notes
and Differed by experienced and trustworthy
men. it has never made single blunder from
the day It received its incorporation papers up
to the present time. Financial storms and
money depressions alike have gone by un
needed by its officers and directors. As an
earnest OF what we say Of Its success and
soundness, We refer to the action of the di-
rectors last Saturday, at W bich time they de-
clared the second ten per cent. dividend upon
all of its stock within the year. No legitimate
business could be more profitable. We sin.
cerely congratulate the officers, directors and
stockholders of the Wichita Savings Bank.

Whoa, january

The annual review of the Caiithuinpian
patr OTIS, uniformed in earthquake hablia-
ments and noun ted on spawned ponies and
| knock-kneed mules, bearing aloft costly ban
| ners and inspiring -mottoes, with words OF
cheer TO the unfortunate, came of promptly at
IL o'clock January l, 1877. 1t was an impos-
| ing array of illuminated bull doZers, and in
Inundated gum-suckers. What they lacked
| in numbers was made up thousand fold by
| rich trappings. The ennobling cortage trans
fixed the rushing throng on the sidewalks,
the dogs even sneaking of to hunt respecta-
BILE company. "Still on rode the three hun
dred.'' We say three hundred because that
is only two hundred and eighty more than a
fair count. Eliza Pinkston had the returning
board foul, innocent though she WAS Of litter
or tie-back. Gambrinus sat best'-ide rail-
road tank. "March on,'' he said, and there
wasn't dry mouth in the motely outht-and
there wouldn't have been dry eye if they
hadn't promptly moved out OF sight. As a
failure it was decided hit, aud we doubt
not that the unrivaled display involved vast
amount If money aud labor, also rags, but
more cheeS than either. We chide more in
sorrow than in anger, bnt such short coat tails
as were indu ged in by the festive jublanters
are provocative OF brain fever. to say nothing
of the gauzy un. uentionables and the risk OF
cereoro spinal me uingitis. In our reference
to brain diseases we meant the mules, OF
course. Everybody said ''giye us rest, 'and
for once everybody was right That happy
| expression embodied sad commentary upon
the success of the occasion. The omission OF
the annual spout was piece of irtexcusable
impudence. "A little nonsense now and thea
is relshed by the best Of men," but SO much
brains and SO little nonsense proved too en-
livening by odds. Upon the latter hypoth csis
only do we account for the evident depres-
sion Of the spirits Of the lead of mule .of the
bull-dozed band wagon, which headed the
intimidated procession he rem so generously
| complimsnted beyond its merits. Whoa,
January.

Hon. Johh Kelly, State Senator from Sedg-
wick and Sumner counties, left for the scene
of his winters labors early this week, desir-
ing to be upon the grounds in season to guard
and forward every interest of his district, po-
lical or otherwise. We have an intimaton
from high authority that his name has been
mentioned in connection with the chairman
snip of the Ways and Means committee, w hich
committee, in Kansas legislation, is the most
important of auy other to the tax payers. As
district we should feel honored by such a
distinction shown our Senator, while upon
the other hand we are OF the opinion that no
better man could be chosen. Senator Kelly
is not only an industrious, earnest and intelli-
gent man. but he has devoted much thought
to the resources and expenditures of the
State. We earnestly hope be may be chosen.
