Thursdays Doings.

Thursday was field day" for wills
ky in Emporia. We learn there were no
less than four or five fights at different
"gin mills" and dozen or more arrests
were made. We hear that in one saloon
there were two rows, in one of which the
proprietor struck fellow over the head
with a beer glass, causing blood to flow
freely. At another an Emporian and a
gentleman from the country had a
regular old fashioned "chaw up" in
which the country man came out "best
man." These fights occur frequently
and our people are becoming thoroughly
aroused at the disgrace they bring upon
the town. Not citizen but feels deep
shame for the performances of Thursday,
and all are inquiring if something can
not be done to put stop to these dis
graceful scenes. Does the license to sell
intoxicating drinks carry with it the
right to fight like lot of barbarians
and TO disturb the public peace as it
was disturbed on that day? We remem-
Der that some years ago when the
| AA%NhoC JoANhi was III AOlNC THAI NnOcS
who were trusted with it were required
to conduct their gin shops in strict ac-
cordance with its terms and the law, and
ON several occasions license was refused
at the expiration of the time for which
it WAS granted, and IL seems TO US that
some of those now holding license should
be similarly treated. Certainly the city
council will not allow the present state
of affairs to exist great while, as the
city is being irreparably injured in its
material interests, to say nothing of the
dreadful consequences which must fol-
low the present condition of the liquor
question in a moral view. In walk
down Commercial street Thursday after
noon from Fifth avenue to the depot,
besides the fights that occurred, a per-
son was RECALLED with the sight of men
Keeling with drunkenness, while others
were so far gone as TO be sitting about in
unconscious inebriety. 1t is time some
thing were done, and done quickly, to
check the present disgraceful condition

babies by candidates for office. At least
a couple of candidates for county treas

in that luxury this year. Our friend
DIR. Armor announced in the NEWS OF
this week that he had been SO fortunate

hackers and Democrats, and consequent

remember him, but that he couldn't 60
round kissing the babies and soliciting
votes in hypocritical sort of way, but
he would at the same time appreciate
votes. Then comes ct D." in another
paper and says that he, too, has been
nominated by the Greenbackcrs and
Democrats, and consequently he, also
wants to be remembered by the indie
pendent voters, but that he cannot go
round in a "hypocritical" sort of way
kissing the ladies. We do not know
''T. d." but if he is no better looking

which to congratulate the most heartily

EDITORs NEWS Your editorial in
yesterdays daily assails the board of
education upon proposition about
which you apparently knew nothing.
The board of education had, prior to last
Monday evening, submitted no PROPOSE
ton of any kind to the voters of this dis
strict, for which it holds itself respon-
sible. And you state in the editorial
criticised that you knew nothing of the
action taken ut that meeting. A public
meeting held at the court house adopted
unanimously a resolution which was
published in your issue of the next day,
l think, requesting the board to submit
the following proposition:
ResOlred, That the mayor be, and he
is hereby requested to call an election to
be held on the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der, A. ID. 1879, for the purpose of sub
hitting to the qualified electors of the
city of Emporia and the territory at
tached, for school purposes, the follow
ing
QUESTION: Shall the board of educa-
ton of the city of Emporia borrow mon
ey for the erection of a school building
in said district, to be used or disposed of
rs may seem to be for the educational
interest of the district, and for that pur-
pose, issue and sell its bonds for 800
600, or as much thereof as may be neces-
sary; said bonds to be issued in denomi-
nations of $500, $500, $500, and $1,000
each, and to draw interest at the rate of
z per cent. per annum, annually, and the
principal payable in 20 years from the
date of issuance; prOUided, That these
hands c1,aI ar.

A petition, signed by nearly 200 (if I
remember rightly citizens of the dis
trict, was presented to the board making
the same request, and the committee
representing the petitioners made the fur

the petition was presented, with but less

idated ought tohave atleastequal weight
with the embryo expressions of your ed
itorial writer. Such a petition, if it
meant anything, affirmed the need of in
creased school accommodation, and the
opinion of the signers as to the require
ments of the situation. The board of
education acted simply as the channel
through which the petitioners could
reach their object and arc no more re
sponsible for the particular proposition
at that time submitted, be it good or bad,
than are the editors of the NEWS.
The proposition above alluded to has
since been Withdrawn, and l presume

the use of The district for school pur-
poses.
May inquire if it Is your custom as
editors to mold opinion or to be mold
ed by itg Do you generally wait until

or in other words is your yalor so rarely
tempered with discretion as to be often
mistaken for timidityf

ness TO acknowledge the injustice OF
your attack upon the board of education

What's the matter with the Winfield


What's the matter with the Winfield
and Wellington postmastersg Haven't
they, singly or combined, weight, politi-
cal influence or official prominence
enough TO get the mails of their respec-

they have daily trains Wichita Eagle,
What's the matter also with the Which,
tia postmaster? For years Emporia has
been doing the British and German mon
ey order business for the Arkansas val
ley, amounting to many thousands of
dollars, and causing great Inconvenience
and delay TO the people of those nation
alities in Sedgwick and surrounding
counties. Hasn't the Wichita postmas
ter weight, and political influence and
official prominence enough TO get these
cOnvcniences for the patrons of
the Wichita Office. OF course we like to
do this business for the people of the
Arkansas valley, but when it is consider
ed that persons receiving foreign money
orders, who live in the'section tributary
TO Wichita, have to waitfor their money
till a notice reaches them from Emporia
Office, then till the power of attorney to
collect the money is returned, it is
matter of great inconvenience and delay,
Oflen as much as ten days. Now we
advise the Wichita postmaster TO look a
''leetle oued" before pitching into his
neighbors, and we will say that if lac
hasn't influence enough to get what is
due his Office we tender our services and
will promise him that he shall have au-
thority TO issue and pay foreign orders
If he so desires.
