rHAr ConIMTrrE.

The committee of nineteen citizens
appointed recently TO consider, with the
county commissioners, the court house
and jail question, met At the court house
Saturday afternoon. The committee rec
commended the withdrawal of the COM
missioner propositions. This was not
q surprise and was probably ali that
could be done in regard
TO those propositions as
it has been evident from the first that
Whatever may be said for or sgaInst
them, they were not explicit enough to
suit the people. There were ten or
eleven members present and the recon-
mendation was unanimous. As 70 any
thing further or regarding new PROPOSE
tions. there was diversity of opinion.
A motion finally prevailed recommend
ing the expenditure of $4,000 for repair
ing the jail and putting in vaults for the
protection Of the records. Six Of the
members present voted for the above
motion. Possibly six more men could
be found in the county who would vote
in the same way. We doubt it
After all the public meetings and ap-
pointing OF committees and the final Sc
lection of . large committee of nineteen
representative men, We have vote for
the withdrawal of the original
propositions, which everybody thought
would be done, and q vote of
six-less than one-thIrd of the members
of the committee-in favor of spendi1 e
$4,000 on repairs, which nobody dreamed
of. The recommendation is not law, is
not even representative of the commit
tee, much less of people, but as the COM
mittee had emanated from the people in
the only manner practicable TO select
such body, something was expected OF
IL. When it had once decided that pro-
positions submitted were not what they
should have been 1t was the implied II
not expressed instructions, at least the
expectation. that the committee would
recommend some explicit proposition
on which the people could vote yes or
no, and settle some phase OF
but as 3 result of all that has been done
we ind six men recommendIng-not to
submit to the people whether money
shall be expended on the old trap of a
jail-bus simply that it shall be so ex-
pended. We would gladly learn what
can be done that will be re-
ally an improvement with this
amount Of money. The whole
of 1t would be but drop in the bucket
if expended on the jail. Let it be used
on the old trap and the one looking for
the improvement will look in vain. AS
70 vaults, 1t would little more than buy
few good vault doors. New patches
on old garments! Weak backed evasion
Anything but business.

The Answer.

The enterprise shown by the Red Boot
and Shoe store IN advertising their goods
to the public resulting in the biggest
trade of any house IN the city, seems to
have incurred the jealousy Of our neigh
Dor across the way, the secret of whose
business is that he is closing out bank
rupt stock of goods, aud which causes
him to rush into print and offer To make
the great sacrifice OF forfeiting half the
price Of any boot or shoe if his prices
are not lower than those with enterprise
enough to advertise their stock. We
are here to stay, aud our aim is not only
to sell our goods at reasonable prices.
but TO sell only such goods as are in
every respect firstclass.

HONOR.

The utter lack of honor possessed by q
few editors Is again manifest, the oppor-
tunitY having presented itself. It has
sometimes been customary for the gov
ernor Of Kansas TO transmit to newspa-
pers advance sheets OF his message In
order to facilitate its being placed in
type, but with the express understand
ing that the message will not be pub
lished until Il is delivered TO the legisla-
tuTe. The governor relies, Ia these In
stances, entirely upon the honor of pub
lishers-and this confidence Is not often
misplaced-the profession generally
being represented in Kansas by
gentlemen OF honor.
On Tuesday, Governor Martin very
kindly sent out copy Of his message to
the daily newspapers of the state. THE
News, and the other daily publisher
here, received copies Tuesday. The
document was accompanied by the fol-
lowing personal letter:
At enclose herewith q copy of my
message to the legislature, which is for

that il Is not to be used until after 1t is

will be notified by telegraph, and can
then use it at any time. Yours truly,
