wANrED-AcrIoN.

For the last three months this city has
daily lost good citizens from the fact
that no house could be secured by those
wishing to locate. Notone person in q
hundred wishes to build as soon as he
strikes town in which he thinks he
would like to reside. Generally they
desire to rent until such time as they
feel assured they will be satisfied to re-
main. If houses can be rented they will
stop and in time, the chances are, they
will either buy or build. And we have
no hesitation in saying that lola has lost
large numbers of the very best kind Of
people simply from the fact that house
room could not be obtained by those who
wished to stop, and look around, at least.
This has been apparent to every man in
this place, and has been deplored by all.
Here, as elsewhere, there has been good
reason for this state of affairs. Times
have been hard, property ruling low,
values fuctuating but slightly, and the
speculative tendency ofpeople restrained.
Our people were too cautious to invest
in so doubtful business. Houses instead
of being built were moved out of town.
Times have changed. Values now
fuctuate more rapidly and the general
tendency is upward. Rents are raising.
Money matters are easier. The specula-
ton inherent in the American people is
beginning to crop out. With the vast
immigration that has flowed into Kansas
for two years past, and the sure increase in
the year to come, business has improved,
confidence is being restored and the future
is spanned by a bright bow of promise.
In the meantime however, our town
and county are losing by the very eau
ton instilled by the result of past specu-
lation. Our monied men sit idly by
and await the arrival of still better times
when they should be up and doing NOW.
Now, with property at its lowest-but on
the upward road, should they take hold
and help push forward the development
of our county. No one doubts but that
the revival has actually commenced and
that times are growing better. No one,
in looking over the improvement of the
present year doubts the still better growth
next. And yet the precious moments
go by and one awaits the other. Gentle
men, you are doing wrong

THE GREENBACK PARTY,

If any one thing is demonstrated by
the late election it is that the Greenback
party is a superiiuity. AS party they
have played into the hands of the Democ-
racy. The Republican party was not a
unit on the finance question but at the
same time its general tendency was in
the right direction. This did not satisfy
the Greenbackers however; they must
have everything at once. In this they
were encouraged by the Democrats, who
promised them aid in obtaining their
desires. The manner in which they kept
their promise is shown by the vote in this
District. Gen. Blair receiving almost
the solid Democratic vote. The result
is just as expected. In the north the
two parties really in favor of Greenbacks
the Republican and Greenback-in-
stead of combining as they might have
done and electing majority of the mem
bers of the next Congress, are in the
minority. The Greenback party elects
ing a few members who, even with the
Republicans combined, will not be able
to rule the financial policy of the govern
ment. Had the Republican Greenback-
ers threw their votes and influence for the
Republican candidates, the next House
would have been able to have successful
ly grappled the financial question and
put an end to the uncertainty and doubt
which threatens and disturbs the welfare
of the United States. This was their
mistake.

C. B, KEITH SHOT.

Saturday last information was received
at this place that Mr.. G. B. Keith had
been badly wounded by pistol shot at
Fl. Scott the Thursday night previous.
But little was known in regard to the af
fair and many surmises and reports were
in circulation. Not much was learned of
the facts until Wednesday of this week,
when Mr.. Keith returned home. Thurs
day, week after the shooting took
place, Mr.. Keith was walking about town.
The particulars, as near as we could
learn, are as follows: In company with
another gentleman, Mr.. Keith was walk
ing along Wall street when they passed
a couple of young men who were very
drunk. Hardly had they passed when
the two fools started after, as Mr.. Keith
supposed, with the intention of passing.
When nearly up with Mr.. K. and his
companion they shot. accidentally or in
tentionally afterwards, when interro-
gated about the matter, the boys admit
ted that they were too drunk to tell
which) the ball entering near the shout
der blade of Keith and passing around.
The force of the ball was somewhat ex-
hausted by passing through the heavy
clothing Mr.. Keith was wearing. The
boys were from near Uniontown and were
on 'spree," the result of which will
probably be warning to them. 1t was
a piece of sheer good luck for the drunk.
en- fools that the results were not more
serious. As it is their "spree" will cost
them something, probably.

Secretary Evarts' letter to the British
Government has attracted much atten-

Government of Newfoundland has in,
ilicted outrages upon our fishermen that
the United States is released from its

The United States entered into the arbi-

us, and now we can no more honorabiy
escape payment than could the British
Government in the Alabama claims ar BIZ
