Of,he fonr ,aroest.ci,;o. in K.n.a,

Ofthe four largest cities in Kansas
three went Democratic on Tuesday.
The issue was practically the same in
each though not called the same. At
Gibson Republicans took the bull by
the horns, and as there was no mug
wumping, the Democrats were beau
tifully scooped. In Leavenworth, To-
peka and Wichita, all Republican cities,
the result was such as to send George
Washington Click of on a spree of
six months.-Wichita Eagle
Our Sunf1ower neighbor seems in
clined to put on airs. LeayeDw orth,
Topeka and Atchison are the three
largest cities in Kansas, but there are
no four large cities. If the EAGLE had
said the five largest cities it would
have come nearer the truth. OF the
five largest cities Atchison and Fort
Scott gallantly bore the Republican
banner to victory last Tuesday. We
ask the EAGLE to please stand mp and
be corrected FIT. Scott Monitor.
If the editor of the Monitor will
ask any arrival from the east what
western cities are best known where
he came from, we will bet nickel he
will answer; Kansas City and Wichita.

The METHODIST COLLEGE.

What Is being done in Wellington
to secure the location of the Metho-
dist college? We made note some days
ago that it had been decided at the
session of the Southwest conference
at Ell Dorado last month TO locate
such an institution at an early day
The competing points will probably
be FL Dorado, Wichita, Winfield and
Wellington. We understand the other
points are at work. and it is now time
for Wellington to be up aud doing. Il
seems useless TO urge the Importance
and benefit this college would be to
our city. The remarkable thing
about all the institutions of learning
in Kansas is the surprising rapidity
with which they have grown. Bald
win City to-day has about 500 students
notwithstanding all difficulties, and
not outstanding it is coated in 0
small and out-of-the- way village. The
State Normsl school at Emporia, fight
ing for Years against many obstacles
has over 500 students. The fact is
you cannot hinder the growth of q
wellcouducted institution of learning
III Kansas. The proposed college
would have the patronage help of g
million of people who are rap
idly growing wealthy. In two years
it would certainly have 300 stu.
dents. AT the lowest possible esti
mate these would spend in Wellington
$40, 900 a year. This is making no
calculation for the families who would
be brought here directly III connection
with the school. Neither is the meal.
ca!able moral benefit taken into the
consideration. The fact is that the
benefits to result can hardly be csti-
mated,
Nov we want to say that tbs col.
lego cannot be had without work and
money. We can make up oar minds
to this. If we succeed in securing
tie prize we shall be repaid for all
effort. The question for our citizens
to decide is, shall we have the college:
