PEACE AND oUIEr.

As q general thing Emporia Is one Of
the most orderly and law abiding cities
OF its size In the whole country. Occa-
sionally, IN the natural exubeEance Of
the spirits of our cheerful citIzens, q
nrecracker Il shot OF, and once In q
while boy oversteps the line and per-
ambulates his bicycle over the seductive
asphalt. but in general few towns have q
better or more quietly disposed class Of
citizens than this. Our esteemed con.
temporary from It's position on
the fence and on both sides
Of it somewhat bewilders the
average reader, but then that does
not alter the facts. We trust we have q
set Of ofiiceFs that are theoretically In
favor Of enforcing the law, and regret
that they sometimes err in their prACti-
cal ideas OF just the best way In which
70 uphold those laws and
hope that they will yet admin
lister them In way which viii be at
once effective, dignified and impartial.
1t Ii quite easy for as 10 agree with our
neighboF on its inside pages, wherein
1t says: "PeOple who desire 70 live in Q
respectable city where exem-
plaEy conduct and good NOR
ais prevail, had better come
to Ewporias" but ii Ii trifie difficult for
Us to also agree with the other side,
which We take it Is the part upon which
Q patent has been applied for. and which
side shouts IN q somewhat incendiary
and infiammAtOry manner as follows:
"The point has been reached when IL
must be determined whether We will
have law and order or anarchy" ''It is
still more significant OF lawless spirit
than that exhibited by actual Offenders
ave warn our citizens IN time. They
must take stand for Law and order or
suffer the consequences, &C., &c"
We really think that the inside has the
best of the outside and should really
take the exterior aside and whisper In
his ear and tell him that something more
than patriotic explosions and boYish
sports are necessary before the riot act
should be read. We hope the bicycles
that there will be a little more talk and
great deal more action In the nature of
the establishment Of canning factories, .
starch factory, a pork packing house,
practical arrangements for mac
adamizing our principal street
and an economical and wise
disposition and administration of what
finances We have ON hand, and ways and
means for getting more and applying
them 10 material uses sOrely demanded.
Let US have labor employed. Let US
have action. Let Us hear from the clti-
zens' committee or a board of trade.
Let US have peace.
