We planned the city for the capital of

apart for it 90 years ago in the grass,
and schools and churches stand on the
lots set apart for their use. There were
no railroads west of the Mississippi when
settled here, and not a house within
twenty miles; nothing but grass, wolves
and Indians AS illustrative of the
generous plan on which the city was
laid out, Mr.. Horne adds, with rather
grim pleasantly, that the sidewalks are
SO wide that when the Legislature is in
session its members can pass along the
streets Without being crowded.

New York Times: We do not believe
the future of the Republican party is
bound up in the New York Custom.
House We do not believe that as the
dispenser of patronage it constitutes the
being and the end of the Republican
party. 1t is great interest, it is true
but those who make the choice of its
head, The Collector, the paramount
element of strength in the Republican
party do most shamefully dwarf the
mission, the principles, and the under
lying Inspirations of that party. They
forget duty either through greed for of
fice or from an insane desire to become
victors in fight of factions.

Kansas City Journal: 1t may be in
teresting to many who believe the most
rapid road TO wealth is in the publica-
ton of a newspaper, to learn that those
familiar with the subject estimate that in
the state of Kansas there are not more
than dozen weekly newspapers which
pay more than fair living expenses to
their proprietors. There was time when
rates of pubic printing afforded a fair
compensation for the public benefits de-
rived from the publication of a we'll
conducted local newspaper, but these
rates have been repeatedly reduced until,
in a majority of cases, the price paid
scarcely covers the cost of the work.
The encouragement given by local poll
