No SENATORIAL SIGNIFICANCE.

The TINES has been, and is to-day, an
earnest advocate of the reelection of Sena-
tor Ingalls,. The TIMES has also been =
warm friend of Sidney Clarke. Mr.. Clarke
stated publicly and privately that be did
no, ask votes for Speaker on Senatorial
grounds, and The TIMES supported him
for the sole reason that be was the best
qualified of any of the candidates for the
poeition. Since his election one or two ex-
treme anti-Ingalls organs claim his election
q . victory for them.
The TINES certainly understood the sit
uation when it advocated Clarke, and il
certain that it has not been imposed upon
The members Of the Legislature from thi'
county most favorably disposed toward In
gals voted for Clarke for Speaker. Thos'
claimed for George T., headed BY Miller, ,
bitter opponent of Ingalls,, and particular
friend OF George T., did not vote fo
Clarke.
With this knowledge Of the votes of oul
owA@emberr, We reasonably conclude tha
the parties are lying who claim that thsr
is any Senatorial significance in the elec
ton of Clarke for Speaker. The resul
was . square defeat of the candidate nom
mated and supported by George T.. ma
Miller.

r,,E MESSAGE FRAUD.

We expected that the Governors mes
sage would be delivered to-day, and under
that supposition We proceeded to put thai
document In type from advance copies fur
nished us. Late yesterday afternoon, we
learned that the organization OF the House
could not be completed In time for its dellv-
cry, and We had to put our force upon other
mater to make up a paper, As We could not
with proprieiy publish the message in ad-
vance nf itsdelivery- This il tha rule of de-
cency of X nsas journals, which we would
be the last to transcend. The inconvenieI ce
caused to US by this delay, We regret much
less than the TACT that It compeIs Us to disap
point our patrons who anticipated resdi ng
the message this morning. We hope this
wHl explain and excuse the laci, of interest
and variety In our second page matter this

Oh oh. And so the Topeka Common,
ueoM alao had an advance copy of the
message on the u h, and also like the Kan

for publication, but they had honor enough
not to publish it. Will the Governor please

Mr.. Murch of Minneapolis feels justly
indignant at the ex-United States Marshal,
Mr.. Miller, for writing to Capt. Tough that

Of his on IN innocence. We know members ol
that Grand Jury who told us they were put

TEMPERANCE.

The subject of temperance, in its relation
to the use Of intoxicsting liquors az bev-
srage, has occupied the attention of the peo
pie of Kansas to such an extent that feel
il nv duty to call your attention to some Of
its evils, and suggest if possible, remedy
therefor. Much has been said Of late
years about hard times and exiravsgant
and useless expenditures OF money and in
this connection desire to call your arten-
ton to the fact that here in Kansas, where
our people are at least as sober and a. tenn
perate as are found in any of the Srates of
the West, the money spent annually for in
toxicaiing liquors would defray the entire
expenses Of the State government, including
the care and maintainsnce of all its charit-
able institutions, Agricultural College,
Normal So >el, State University and peni-
tentiary-asl all for something that, in
stead Of m aking mankind nobler, purer and
better, has not only left Its dark trail OF
misery, poverty and crime, but its direct
effects, ~ shown BY the official report, has
euppIied our State prison with lO5 Of its
present inmates.
Could We but dry up this one great evil
that consumes annually 90 much wealth,
and destroys the physical, moral and men
tai usefulness Of its victims, We would
hardly need prisons, poor-houses or po-
lice.

about the evils flowing from the use Of in
;o1icating liquors - . beverage than it j.
to provide remedy for them. If it could
be fully accomplished, 1 AN clearly of the

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

1t is your home; you cannot improve
it much by taking your money away to
spend or invest.
There is no way of improving a place
so much as by encouraging good mer-
chants, good schools and good people to
settle among you, and this cannot be
done unless you spend your money at
home
Spend your money at home for that is
where YOU get it.
Spend your money at home, because
when it is necessary to get credit, it is of
your own town merchants you have to get
it, and they must wait for the money
spend it at home.
Spend your money al home. 1t will
make better business for your merchants;
they can and will keep better assortments
and sell at lower rates than if the only
business they could do is what Is credited
out, while the money goes to other places.
Spend your money at home. Set the
example now. Buy your dry goods gro
ceries, meats, in town, and you will see
a wonderful change in a short time in
the business outlook of the place; there
fore deal with your merchants at home.
Spend your money at home. Your
merchants are your neighbors and your
friends: they stand by YOU in sickness
arc vour associates. Without YOUR trade
they cannot keep up business. No stores
then, no one wanting to buy property to
settle on and build up Your place.
Subscribe for your local paper, and buy
only of those who advertise in it. Ifyou
do not find their advertisements there YOU
may safely conclude that the house has
gone out of business, or too old fogyish
TO make their business known, and in
either case you will not be likely to buy
goods cheap there-Patriot.
