Gov. John \. Martin. on last Mon
day, issued a proclamation declaring
and making Abilene a city Of the second
class. As a consequence, the city did not
participate in the Grant township cleo
ton of last Tuesday. Abilene now
constitutes a municipal township Of
and by itself, and the election of Off
GERS will not be effected until the first
Monday in April, the regular city cleo
ton day. The Council will meet in
regular session next Friday evening, at
which time the city will be divided into
three or four wards. The change from
a city of the third to the second class
seems to be satisfactory to large num-
Der of our citizens, as it does not nee
essarily increase the cost of city gov
eminent. The only probable result
will be the division of the city into
wards, the establishment of places of
registration in each ward, and one or
two other minor changes. It is hardly
probable that the change in city gov
eminent will decrease the territory of
the school district, although the city is
cut off from the rest of the township
and can not use any part of it for other
than school purposes.

The tax payers should pray for more
men like Representative McTaggart.
When the bill to pay for the postage
was under consideration in the House,
Mr.. McTaggart, of Montgomery county,
was the only member that voted against
it. Mr. McTaggart believes strictly in
his own postage. Two years ago he
opposed the bill and returned to the
Secretary of State the SO worth of
postage which he received as his share.
This year he repeated the same stroke
of economy, and without any pity in
his heart for the epistolarily inclined
members who were ''buSted'' he voted
against the bill. Macs constituency
in Montgomery county can rest assured
that so long as their blOnde-haired, red
cOmplexiOned statesman remains in the
Legislature the State will save at least
five dollars per year on postage.

remarkably sweet. Her singing re-

lectiOns by Prof. SthOlpe were admira-

violin is capable of great things in the

fines required of these eighteen men
amount to $500, in addition to costs.
SO far, 81 ,450, not including costs, have

viOlator is also required to give a bond
of $500 that he will not again engage in
the business Of selling liquor. Sheriff

The Times was for J. r. Burton for
Speaker of the House for reasons it
deemed good and sufficient. These rea-
sons have been stated in these columns
time and again and there is now nOneed
of reviewing them. Sectional jealousy
will never allow a man from Abilene to
succeed because he can't cater to the
whims of the two factions who run
things in that neighborhOod. He must
be versatile in his make up to please
both. He must be prOhibitiOniSt
and a re-submisSiOniSt; a tool and
master: sub-servient, self reliant;
church member and hummer; non
entity and a man of ability to represent
a progressive people: well and favOrably
known in his county and against whom
Salina, Junction City and Manhattan
can say nothing. The ambitious man
in Abilene is in a bad fiX.-Clay Center
Times.
The versatile young editor of the
Times is about right. Mr.. BURTON was
opposed by a home influence that should
have been for him; but he made a
strong race, and above all he made a
clean race. The rival republican fac
tons here will always keep Abilene
from the high places in state councils,
much the same as they do in Clay Cen
ter. And the only hope in the future
lies in the young democracy. The re-

The DOInhln,

Attorney General Garland has written an
opinion with reference TO Mr. Roach's dos
patch boat Dolphin in which he holds that,
upon the facts submitted the Secretary of the
Navy cannot accept the vessel because of her
insufficient speed and strength. He further
decides, in effect, that there was no valid con-
tract between the government and Mr.. Roach,
and that the money already paid to the con-
tractor on account of the vessel can be re-
covered in a suit at law. His reason for this
position is that the authority and responsible
ty for the construction Of the vessel were, by
Congress, devolved upon the Secretary of the
Navy, and therefore the obligation of the gov
eminent to accept the vessel is in no way AZ.
fected by the action of the naval advisory
board in approving Mr.. Roachs work from
time to time az it progressed. Mr.. Garland's
opinion does not end the controversy, and
Mr.. Roach will undoubtedly carry his case
before the courts for final decision.
Elk Secretary Chandler contributes a chapter
to the Dolphin controversy, in which he shows
the weakness and inconsistency Of the opinion
OF Attorney General Garland. In the meantime
the naval advisory board have reported in ia.
vor of the vessel, while Mr. Roach has caused
thorough inspection of it to be made by
nine men who have had long experience as
practical builders, engineers and superintend
ents of steamship companies, particularly in
regard to the objections raised by Secretary
Whitney's board. These practical men ex
press the opinion that the ship is well built il
every respect, and that there ia not the slight
est indication that it is structuraly weak or in
any manner defective.
