HOW ITTURNED OUT.

II is well known the celebrated Potter
investigation inauguratcd to manufac-
turc capital for the Democratic party
did mot turn out rs it was fondly ex-
pected it would. The Washington Cap
ital. in commenting upon the author OF
the Potter investigation, who, il says,
was the New York Sun correspondent,
makes q serious admission for the Dem
ocratic party. Ii says: "He promised
at the outset that when he get through
Hayes would be drnmmed out Of the
white house, and John Sherman and j.
Madison Wells drummed into the peni-
Tertiary TO the Togue's March. What
was the result? Why. simply that tow
ard the last. instead of getting John
Sherman and j. Madison Wells into the
pcnitentiary, it was apparently nip and
tuck with us to keep Manton Marble and
Colonel Pelton out; instead Of proving
bribery against the Louisiana returning
board, we had hard work to keep the
Gramercy Park cipher bureau from be-
ing indicted for conspiracy"

INDIAN TERRITORY.

In commenting upon the bill Of Sena
tor Vest for the opening Of the Indian
Territory, The Iafe''-Occan says:
Under the present law, if some thou
sands of settlers from Missouri and AR.
kansas should attempt TO pour INFO tho
territory and dispossess the Indians OF
their lands, the President would be re.
quired TO exclude them by the army, ~
has been done. But did the Vest bill
pass. the Indians would be left to go in.
to the courts to sue the invading multi.
tude for recovery of their lands. TAX
ing into account the laws delays, the
Indian ignorance of the proper proceed
ure, and the costs necessarily involved
il would seem that about what the bill
proposes is to let the lands be wrested
from the Indians and TO leave them only
hopeless and ruiHous lawsuits"
No man guided by the principles OF
Justice and honesty, would want to sec
such bill passed.

NOT PRETTY.

Some Of the newspapers of the First
and Second Congressional districts are
showing q jealousy of our Tom, the
Congressman from the Third district
These papers intimate that Ryan is run
ming the entire Washington machine IN
Guiding our Senators. We believe there
is no just ground for the assertion. Has
keIl from the Second and Anderson
from the First are wide awake politi-
clans, the former with as much congress
sional experience as Ryan. Tom Ryan
is more than an average Representative
or else he is more lucky than the aver
age in getting his measures through, but
that he tries to embarrass the other por-
ton Of the delegation, or that he IL
hogish, or that he is not in full accord
with them. we do not believe.

aoUR CHOICE FOR GOvERNOR.' >

The ssGreat Arkansas Valley" Is &c
knowledged to be entitled to the next
Governor, and Wichita Is the business
center of the Southwest, should furnish
the successful candidate. No man d
better known throughout Southern Kan
sas than is Marsh Murdoch, nor has any
one man done more for the Republican
party of the State than has he. Through
the medium Of his paper, the Wichita
EAGLE, he has-taken the lead in politics
and by an upright, unhesitating course,
has gained the support and confidence
of the people. Mr.. Murdoch has dis
played considerable executive ability
and for number of years as postmas-
ter at Wichita has stood at the head Of
the postal service of the Southwest an
has kept both the service and his Office
in the highest state Of efficiency. So
ciaily, his standing is unsurpassed, and
as chief executive Of the State we are
confident he would make an efficient
and trustworthy officer and one who
would reflect honor upon the State and
the ''Great Arkansas Valley" So we
declare for Marsh Murdoch, the stalwart
Republican, the successful newspaper
man and the farmers friend. "True to
himself and to his country."-Aafh0ny
Republican.
The Republican too greatly honors
as in even sssociating our name in such
q connection. The mention OF such a
possibility by the Commonwealth and
Others was not replied to, simply be
cause we knew it was more as joke,
pastime or meaningless compliment
than of serious intent or conviction.
The Republican will accept our genuine
thanks for Its high estimation Of our
humble abilities and past services in tine
party. but such an ambition is the far
thest possible from US, not having even
ever proved so much as a political
dream.
AS TO the ''great Valley" and its po-
litical demands, We will most heartily
cooperate with the Republican and all
others in securing to it and some one of
Its many prominent citizens that honor
and distinction.

"BRACE UP.v

The New York World is "getting up
its work" to suit the Republicans exact
ly. In fact the Democrats, generally,
whenever there is chance, are putting
the party in aposition to be "blown out
of sight," as the Tribune remarks, in
November. The World admits that
Bayard sympathised with secession five
months after it had taken place, but ar
CUES deliberately that the whole Of the
northern Democracy did the same. He
was in thorough accord with Tilden aud
all the rest. More than this, it argues
that there is nothing to apologize for in
this fact, and that if the party will brace
up, and declare that it, like Bayard,
stands in the same position to-day, all
will be well. "The Republican party is
solid in the opinion that this is first
class idea. II yearns to see the Dcmoc-
racy accept ana act upon it."

HISTORICAL.

Mr.. W.P. Douthitt says that the Kan
sas Legislature once met in the OLD ex'
press Office, now undergoing repairs by
Messrs. Rooster & Trap, the new pro-
prietOrs. He says, also, that ~ 1901,
Governor Walker made an address In
the building.-CommOnredHh.
That little old building now receiving
new front was the prominent public
hall of Topeka in which religious serv-
ices were conducted, conventions con-
yened, lyccum meetings and several So
ciety meetings held. twas then known
no Smith e. Kings hall Gov. Walker.
Secretary Stanton, Martin +. Conway,
Jim lane, f. o. Perrin, T. Dwight
Thatcher and others made speeches from
the steps that led up to the hall on the
east side of the building and not on the
inside. That was early in the spring
of 81 and that was the afternoon when
Timothy McIntire. now living in Cow

SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS.

1t is quite generally believed in this
section Of the State that abundant snow
falls in the mountains west of US during
the winter months are always followed
by timely and abundant rains during
the spring and summer months. G. W.
Johnson, of Hiawatha, has discussed
this theory at length in the columns Of
the Champion, and asserts that the me-
neurological records for half century
conclusivcly establish its truth. If the
theory is correct we can confidently an
sicipatc abundant rains during the COM
ing spring and summer, for all accounts
agree that the SHOWS in the mountains
during the past winter have been usual
ly heavy. John Adams, of COrrine.
Utah, who has been in that and other
mountainous regions for twenty years
past, and who is now ON visit 10 rela-
tives in this city, informs us that the
snow in the mountains this winter lAs
been very heavy. Similar statements
come from other sources.-AtchisOn

er will have good stage of water dur
