SINCERE.

The I.,ayenworfh TINES is now by odds the
brightest and most sincere paper published
in Kansas. Mr.. Anthony, the editor, j. one
of the very few journalists of this common
wealth who is recognized as such throughout
the whole couniry-HnloIison Heutd
Thanks for the word "sincere." For long
wears we have advocated that which we
considered the right. Our convicticns have
been uttered during the past twenty years
REGARDLESS OF their popularity or unpopular
i,v. We have come into direct conflict
with corrupt politicians and monopolists
who have stolen themselves rich by running
the city and county of Leavenworth over
whelmingly in debt. For this We have
been falsely and msliciously slsndered-
more perhaps than any other man in Kan
sas. Yet time has proved the business Of
our position, and the great majority OF the
people Of our city and county nov endorse
our course upon the political, bond and
railroad questions which have been the
cause Of nearly all OF our discussions. dur
ing the past fifteen years. Time has
brought its reward to US in the shape OF an
approving public sentiment. Time has
also brought its pecuniary reward, and We
rejoice to-day, in the proprietorship OF thu
best and most prosperous paper in Kansas
The lesson taught THE TIMES is that "hon
esty is the best policy" In the long run
the individual or the paper that is true t.
its convictions of right will reap the reward
OF public appreciation. Thrift may fol

DON'T KILL. HIM

Sam Wood, Speaker Of the late House Of
Representatives, sends a pointed letter to
The TMEs-published in another column
IN which he inquiries whether he shall kill
Old Baker, OF the Commonwealth. This is 4
grave question, and one that we should not
like to pass upon too hastily. To Judge
Baker by his own rule, as applied TO
swayze, he deserves killing, and Sam
would be justified, according to the same
rule, in doing it; but we guess, upon the
whole, it would be better for him not to
do it. railroad engineer once remarked
that he ALWAYS hated TO run over man,
because if unused up the wheels SO; and for
like reasons Sam should hesitate about
melting out justice to Baker; it would nee.
esssrily make considerable of a mus, and
II wouldn't be right TO subject his relatives
to the expense Of a funeral while times are
30 hard. Besides, Sam has no sure thing
that the Governor would pardon him !;
Wilson is better off in this respect, and it is
generally supposed that ne is all right, but
Samuel must remember that circumstances
somssimes alter cases, and more than likely
this would be one of the times. True, there
may be no reason apparent to mortal ken
shy Old Baker should live, but Sam must
remember that "G,d moves in mysterious
way, His wonders to perform" and it is pos
sible that he is preserving the old sinner of
the Commonwealth for some wise purpose
probably to furnish the world living
proof of the good old doctrine of total de-
praviiy. Let him, alone, Sam it wouldn't
be right to Illustrate the designs of Provi
dence-and besides, he isn't prepared to die.

VERY WELL DONE.

The Philadelphia Times spoils all the
pretty figures of the St. Louis directory
man, and docs it in a very genteel manner
For instance: St. Louis claims according
to her directory census, q population OF 9
little over sol 900; then, two weeks ago she
had an election, and with a spirited contest
was only able to poll little over 10000
votes. The Times puts this and that togeth
er. and reasons out its conclusion in Thu
wise:
We do not doubt the St. Louis directory,
and the proportion OF the poll to the popu-
lation is probably accurate and We accept
the ratio "a an easy means Of ascertaining
the census OF Philadelphia. AT the Mayor,
atty election in February, there were ll2.,
Us votes polled in this city, which, at the
ST. Louis ratio rudely estimated, would give
US population of ], 1888, 52S. These are
figures upon which every Philadelphia
can congratulate himself, for they make
Philadelphia the third great city OF the
world, and place her far ahead OF such
punv rivals as New York, Vienna and
Berlin.
That's neatly done, although it's rather
cruel

ABArCH OF BAD BONDS.

Under recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States about half a mill
lion in county railroad bonds OF Illinois be-
come dead loss in the hands Of the hold
ers. Under the authority Of supposed
act Of the legislature several counties OF that
state issued bonds for railroad aid and paid
the interest on them for several years. 1t
was finally discovered that there was moth
ing on the senate records to show that the
bill authorizing the bonds had passed that
body. The payment of interest was then
refused on the ground that the bonds were
void. Suit was brought and the Supreme
Court Of the state held that as the senate
journal did not show that the alleged law
had passed that body it was not law.
The United States Circuit Court reversed
this decision, and the Supreme Court OF the
United States has Just decided, five to four,
that the court should abide by the con-
s,ruciion put upon the act by the Supreme
Court Of the state.

ARRESTED FOR Libel.

NJ. c. Morris, foreman OF The TIMES COM
posing room, was arrested yesterday by the
sheriff Of Shawnee county, On the complaint
of F. Z. Baker. The charge against Mr.
Morris is libel, in writing an article some
weeks sgo, which was published in the
Kansas City Times. We have not learned
that any steps have been taken to arrest the
proprietor of the Times for the publication
of the article DR.. Munford, editor and
proprietor Of the Ifmes, is man of prop
erty and influence, and able to
defend himself. The Tunes is the
strongest and richest paper in the
Missouri Valley, and if it has dam aged the
reputation OF Mr.. Baker, it is abundantly
able to answer for its conduct. Its offence
in publishing the article was ten fold great
er than that Of Morris in writing it. But
the Times is rich, and Morris is poor; il is
big strong newspaper, and be is me-
chanic, working by the day. That makes
the difference, and that shows the Baker OF
1t. lie Ia cowardly as he Is corrupt. He
dares not attack a man who is able to pro-
tect himself, but for one tenth part of the
offence he can pounce upon a poor me
chanic that he thinks has no money
or infunce with which 10 defend
himself. Oh yes, he i. very brave in ar.
resting the writer of the article, who il
'only printer" but he has nothing to say
about the rich and strong paper that pub.
lished it. This is characteristic Of old Ba,
ker. 1t shows him up before the public in
his true colors, as the most contemplate
old coward in the state. He can take any
amount OF kicking and dirty treatment
from some man with position or influence
but when he finds a man that he thinks has
not money enough TO defend himself, he is
az brave as a lion.

RIG CRONDS.

1t rarely falls to the lot of a public
speaker to be everywhere greeted with such
crowds as turn cot to hear Col. Ingersoll's
lectures. During bis travels through the
eastern states his meetings were perfect
ovations, and since he has come "out vest

ATTEMPT TO WHIP An EDITOR

CO.. Mcclure, Of the Philadelphia Tunes
has been showing up the shortcomings OF q
government contractor named Nat Mckay
for few days past, and Mckay yesterday
assaulted him on the street with whip
But he didn't make much headway; Nc.
Clure Immediately seized him by the throat
and was about to give him what he deserv'
ed when two other ruffians, evidently con.
federates of Mckay, attacked him, one
coming up behind, and the other striking
him in the face. But it seems that Nc,
CIure managed to hold his own with all Of
them till the police came to his assistance
and TOOK his a.sailants in charge. The
Philadelphia Times is a live paper, and iti
editor will hardly be driven from his duty
by the argument Of the cudgel.

1HE GRAIN TRADE.

The San Francisco Chronicle believes that
the failure OF Isaac Friedlander, the great
grain king Of the Pacific Coast, will exer.
else an important influence upon the grain
trade Of California, and it adds: "There
will be less wheat bought on the ranches
and more consigned TO this market for sale
Shippers TO Europe, instead of buying
whole cargoes at time. will have to fill
their vessels with parcels bought piecemeal
for the day Of the great middleman has
passed, and producers and shippers will be
brought more closely into contact. Whether
this will result in benefit to our farmers il
a question which time alone can decide

THE WAR.

War in Europe seems to be sure enough
this time. The situation in the old worlt
has looked ominous for q good while past
but the market report-that almost infalli.
bic barometer-has not pointed to war til
within the last few days. Now, however
there is no mistaking its indications the
fact that prices of breadstuffs are jumping
upward at the rate of from two to five pc,
cent. day shows that the commercial
world regards the war as inevitable. Nov
if the grasshoppers will stay away,
