SUMNER AND SEDCWICK.

We are much obliged to the Wichita
EAGLE for its courteous answer TO our
question as to how Sedgwick county
stands as TO population, compared
with Sumner county. OF course we
knew that Sedgwick, being the older
county; had larger population, but
we were surprised TO learn from the
EAGLE that the diflerence-with the
great CITY of Wichita-is so small, less
than 5000 on wild guess, and that
based on future returns. In another
wear the young county of Sumner
will be up to, If not in advance of. old
) dgwick: and don't you forget it
ArgoHia Clipper.
VIII our Clipper friend inform US
how many days older than Sumner is
Sedgwick. The "young county OF
Sumner" and ..old Sedgwick" will
cause both old and Young settlers to
wonder where the editor of the Clip
per came from 10 Kansas. A to the
great CITY Of Wichita cutting such a
figure in the total population of Sedg-
wick county, the Clipper probably
overlooked the fact that Sumner
county Is not destitute of city pOpula-
ton. There is Argonia, Wellington,
Oxford, Mulvane, Belle Plaine, Cald-
well, lIunncwell, Geuda. Salt City,
South Haven and Conway Springs,
some OF them claiming population
each of from coo to 1000. Give each
of these eleven towns the population
aimed by them and what would be-
come OF the rural population of SUM-
nee! In this matter of age Wichita
cant brag much over Oxford or Salt
Civ, or Wellington or Belle Plaine.
If Mr. Clipper vii! post up he will find
that Sumn-r aud Scdgwick are prac-
tically Twin sisters. that fer Years they
llav run along in their oductions
and populations u, OK and neck, some
year. he one being ahead i'm some one
thing and The next year the other.
For the last half dozen years they
have ranked as two among the great
est counties Of the state. Last year
the were but few hundreds differ
cnce in their population but
Sedgwick has been building
up some country towns of her
own this year, consequently has shot
ahead a few thousands. The EAGLE
for wears talked almost as much for
Sumner as if did for Sedgwick and
our readers know all about the great
county that lies between us and the
Territory. While Sumner now has
three times as many papers as Sedg-
wick and therefore able TO do IFS own
blowing, still in doing so lis papers
should not forget the friends of its
earlier wears much less heap upon
them slurs. SO far IL the EAGLE i
concerned it has always had mlnv
friends in Sumner and il never allows
any outside rooster t. belittic that
county without protest.

AWAY FROM HOME

Special to the Leavenworth Times.
WICHITA, June 26.-So far no at
tempt seems to have been made To sat
isfy the hungry Democracy of these
parts. Dick Walker, register. and Jim
Dyer, receiver of the land office, and
Marsh Murdoch, who is postmaster
and editor of the EAGLE, refuse To re-
sign. But il is currently reported
that Mr.. Murdoch sent word To Mr..
Smith, of the Beacon, that il was about
time he was making himself familiar
with the postoflicc regulations. Mr..
Smith has been giving the said rcgula-
tons his prayerful consideration for
the past two weeks. Meantime Frank
Dale. who wanted Dick Walkers
place in the land office, has gone and
got married, while Judge Amos ilar-
ris. who also wanted the postmaster
ship, is strictly attending to his pri-
vatc business. Hooper Toler, who
wanted to supplant Hon. Simpson in
the United States mar-halship, has
gone into the real estate business,
with a black Republican Is partner.
Hooper SAYS he may not get the mar
shalship, but he can beat any Demo
crat in the county selling town lots.
farms, etc. and renting houses.
Meeting Dick Walker on the street
the other day, your correspondent
asked him if he had sent in his resig
nation. ''lIell, no." he replied. I'm no
woman, 10 give up To every appeal of
charity. If the Democracy want my
scalp, LET them take it like men" The
fact is Dick is resigned to stay where
he l., and from present appearances
Frank Dale, or Jumbo a. he is cali
ed, will have a long wait before he
supplants the elusive Richard Ii Is
hard, but can't be helped.

THE PRoBLEMAT WICHITA.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
WICHITA, Kan June 25.-How TO
get money for city purposes under the
prohibition law, without placing ad
ditional taxation upon property and
business, is the all-absorbing question
with our city government. On Nom
day night the city council took up the
time discussing the best method to
secure funds to carry on street i'm
provements. An ordinance was pre-
sented levying an occupation tax up
on all classes of business, and propo-
sition to levy an additional tax upon
the drug stores and let other branch
es of business go free. After warm
discussion, the question, was laid
over. This prohibition business has
put the city in peculiar fix.
There are seventeen drug
stores in the town, each armed
with permit from the probate judge
and government license. Then there
are twenty four Joints" each armed
with beer and whisky adj libitum, but
nary Gov" license. The other day,
as your reporter is creditably in
formed, the''druggists" kicked against
the infringement upon their legitimate
business, and attempted to force com
binatiOn for the purpose of breaking
up the '.joints.' 1t seems from the
best information Obtainable that one
of the drug firms refused to 90 into
the combination. The probate Judge
gave this firm notice TO return their
permit. The firm refused, and so the
matter stands at present. What
course the probate judge and the
county attorney will pursue remains
to be seen.
An attempt has also been made to
shut out the gambling fraternity, and
while County Attorney Balderston
has endeavorcd to do his full duty in
carrying out the law, somehow he is
unable to catch on to the half-doZcn
places where men will 90 10 tempt for
tune.
And so the contest goes on to make
men good by law. The wicked have
their beer aud whisky, their poker
and stud, and the poor taxpayer
has to put up for sustaining police
force TO see that the honest I. p. goes
not astray. with no revenue coming
in, except from the honest taxpayer.
That portion of the above article
which says that the probate judge did
or threatened to take the permit from
some druggist because he wouldn't
enter a combination is not only too
thin, but is absolutely untrue.

NO POLICE CHIEF.

Yesterday Afternoons Meeting An Oh-
 expected Flxzle-COmmIssi ssiOHer Gau
 gher IIl-H1s Absence Causes An Ad-
 jOurnment Until Monday.
 A special meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners was held yesterday afternoon at four o'clock for the purpose of ballotlng for chief of police, and it was whispered about that the new chief was positively to be chosen at the meeting. Commissioner Hart, Bollman, Johnson, Sheldon and Bald win were present and Commissioner Galla- gher was absent Commissioner Hart pre- sided, and after the reading of the minutes of the last meeting he said: "The object of
 this meeting I think was exclusively to pro ceed to the election of chief, but under stand that Officer Langley desires to say word to the Board and would ask if there IS any objection" Officer Langley appeared before the Board and asked for an unlimited leave of absence on account of his poor health. The leave
 was granted by the Board.
 After the Board had voted on Officer Lang ley's request Commissioner Johnson said: 'l
 would make a motion that we adjourn this
 meeting until some time in the near future,
 as saw Mr. Gallagher yesterday and he said
 he would be present to-day. To-day, how
 ever, saw MT. Reilly, his partner, and he
 said Mir. Gallagher was very sick and unable to be here and for that reason l make this motion, as I think when elect chief all
 the members of the Board ought to cast a
 vote.''
 Commissioner Bollman seconded the mo ton and said: 'fI am very sorry the meeting cannot go on to day, but as MT. Gallagher is sick I don't think we ought to go on."
 rbo o31 o1o1c nf fha ROar6 QOraA6 with Commissioner Johnson and the Board
 voted to adjourn until Monday at 4:3O p. m.,
 when they-will proceed to ballot for chief if they have a quorum.
 As stated in our yesterdays issue it seems to be decided that new chief will soon be chosen and the rumor is also credited that
 two Democratic members of the Board are ready to vote for either one of three Repubh-
 cans that they may name for chief. The three Republicans named Dumor says are General Frank D. Sloat, Joel F. Gilbrrt, president of the Board of Public Works, and ex-Senator Carlos Smith.

 breaches the gospel "pure and simple" in his own style That he is factor in Christi anity and motive power in civilization is seen from this In 1876 when he commenced his pastorate in Brooklyn the church had only two hundred members; now it has over nine hundred The Sabbath school numbers over eighteen hundred, and this, too, in 'fcity of churches" Althoueh the United church is usually well filled, yet the writer feels sure that it's members would like to see it filled to it's utmost capacity, and would gladly wei come all who desire to hear this popular
