TIE LICENSE QUESTION

We believe in a fair and open
discussion Of the license question.
The candidate for District Attorney
on the combination ticket asserts
that he proposes to make q test
case of his non payment OF license.
If he will consult lawyer he will
find that the time for appeal has
passed. and that The judgement, as
it now stands, is final. If he wishes
TO mako a test case Of future non
payments, all well aud good. 1t
will perhaps enable other license
payers in this city to ascertain
whether or not their licenses can
be collected. If the collection OF
licenses in accordance with the city
ordinance i. illegal, and the Courts
90 decide, this paper proposes to
sue the city Of Carson for every
cent Of license that it has ever
paid under the ordinance. If IL
cense collecting in this city is H.
legal. tho sooner the license payers
fad it out the better.
The ouly defence he makes IS
that he was assaulted from behind
BY the hirellngs of the Republican
party. The assertion was dispr6ved
some time ago by The testimony in
the courts, and every citizen In
Carson knows the facts. He seems
constantly laboring under the hal
lucination that he was hit from be-
hind; probably confounding his ex-
perience with the time when he
was hit in the rear by some
member of the same political
party with which he is now
training. On the End of No
vember he will find that his
tory will repest itself at his ex-
pense.

THE CAMPAIGN BLIND.

The manner in which the Chror-
;c,e is trying to divert the masses
Of voters from the real issue OF this
campaign, is striking illustration
Of the principle laid down by a
certain class Of lawyers. when you
have neither the law nor the facts
on your side, avoid both and make
all the noise you can.
10 calling the attention OF the
intelligent voter to the question OF
railway fares and freights in this
State, the attempt is made to direct
discussion from the question now
Of most moment in this fight, the
silver issue. If the Chronicle can
repeat its old thread-bare dodce OF
raising q cloud of anti-rallroad
dust and smoke, it hopes to keep
the public mind away from the
fact that it's pet candidate for the
Legislature, James G. Fair is a
millionaire bondholder, personally
interested in keeping down the
price Of silver, that he may enhance
the value of his bonds, whose IN
,erest is to be paid in gold. The
depreciating of the silver interests
Of Nevada; the closing down of the
mines and mills, the starving OF
miners and the tears of her pow
erty stricken people, is water on
the wheel Of Far, and this Is the
reason why he has never accom-
pllshed anything in the L. ). SEN
ate, for the great industry OF the
State.
Such fimsy pretext TO hood
wink the voters of Nevada Will
have weight with about twenty
persons in this State. provided the
.papcr reaches the Reno Lunatic
Asylum during the campaign.
Some years ago the Democratic
party raised the same anti-railroad
cry in the Fair campaign, and the
people discovered after the Legs
lature adjourned that the whole
thing was a dodge to assist Fair T.
Office. and the anti-railroad rropo,
si.iou was all fudge
The same dodge is again being
worked. 1t reminds one OF the Eel
lows who run the strap game at the
county fair, and after robbing and
swindling number of people
turn up again and try the same
cid racket, expecting his old victim

FROM THE EAST.


Yesterday Jno, Simpson, New York
speeulotor stopped over in the city on his
way to the west. Go look at a cattle ranch
OF which he is owner. He was calling atten-
tion to the wonderful growth and improve
ment since he pa ,sed through the city on a
similar mission about a year ago
Don't you know" he remarked to the
scribe, THAT this city is more spoken of and
favorably commented upon than almost any
city of the United States today! There has
been SO much money made on Kansas real
estate !or the past few years that people
have turned their attention from stocks with
their finely executed certificates to
real property, aud while they
are thus enriching themsev.s S
at the same time building up and improving
the great west. l have been told that some
people did not expect the large amount OF
real estate transfers to continue on so late in
the year. am not at all surprised at it and
if | am to judge from what has been observed
in the east there will be in the early spring
one of the greatest booms that ever struck

THAT WRESTLING MATCH,

The late magnificent contest of physica
skill and science at the opera house has called
forth good deal Of comment regarding the
respective merits of the contestants, Schellel
and Shields, Lot alone in sporting circles but
in other circles, many claiming that the vic
tor in the match is a sure winner owing tC
his remarkable qulckness and skill in catch,
ing and retaining hold when once made
Others think that Shields is the best man
owingto his great strength and pluck
There is already a large sum of money
Wagered Oh the match between the same men
which takes place in the 30th Instant.
The balance of the $3.50 wagered Tuesday
night was placed in the hands of the s1ake
holder yesterday, and by him deposited in

in the safe OF a well known real estate agent
bet on the result of the coming contest Ii

have offered to bet $500 upon Shields. Ar
rangements have been made for selling pools

ing contest bids fair to prove even moro ex-
citing than the last as both men are Sc
evenly matched, and both, Us is well known,
determined to win. Each one has host OF
admirers who are willing to back their judg-
ment with legal tenders to large figures.

cake of all kinds, and old fash hioned dough-
nuts, made by Mrs. Murray, which in the

of, they We're splendid" The ladies who
acted the part of hostesses were beautifully
attired in Martha Washington costumes,
presenting a most attractive appearance,
and the charming manner in which they
pi divided for the wants of their numerous
occasion.
The affair netted handsome sum, which
will be added to the church funds.
After the supper, owing to the generous
donations, there was found numerous cakes,
packages of coffee and tea, with other articles

MAJOR PENN ON WICHITA.

At the close of Major PENIS sermon last
night he made some very important observa
tions on Wichita and her future prospects
He said that he had often been asked while
he had been conducting these meetings what
he thought Of Wichita, and that now in a
few words he would answer that question be-
fore the congregation In the first place he
come large city, very large city. This
opinion was grounded on his personal know
ledge of the city and its surroundings, OBJ
tanned two years ago when he conducted
meetings here, and also at this time. The
city was now too large for any other town
in this part of the country to hope for COM
petition with it. 1t was the acknowledged
center of railroads, trade, commerce and
business operations for a vast region of
country on every side. He said that he
featuring center; that in the space
Of few months at most the
great trunk lines of railroad stretching
directly through to Texas and lower New
Mexico would be in operation, which would
furnish ready market for all manufactured
articles-four and other products of this
great valley. With the competing lines of
railroad already in operation, and others
about to converge at Wichita, freight rates
would be cut down to the minimum and this
very city will sue cesfully compete with Chi
cago, ST. Louis and Kansas City in supply
ing vast region of country nearly thous-
aud miles in extent. He said that capital
had already come here, and much more in
the near future would come; that where
men were willing to invest their money
there would be great city.
He complimented the city on the sobriety,
morality and courteous manner of its people
He had visited the stores and places Of bust
ness and had often been out upon all the
principal streets of the city and could say
without reserve that never before in city of
this size had lie seen so little that tended to
point to drunkenness or moral disorder
neither in this country nor beyond the sea.
This he could cheerfully testify to and would
de so for Wichita wherever he went These,
he said, were his impressions of Wichita
from business standpoint, and he gave ex-
preston to them without constraint or inhu-
ence from any quarter.

REVIVAL SERVICES.

Last evening Major Penn's meeting was
again well attended His text was the fol
lowing: $50 will the anger Of the Lord be
kindled against you and destroy you sudden
ly. 1 have seen the foolish taking root but
suddenly cursed his habitation."
He called special attention to the word
suddenly and spoke Of the sudden disas-
ters he had seen fall upon mems fortunes,
and the sudden deaths that have happeped to
his acquaintances: then drew as an infer
ence the necessity of embracing Christianity
now and not procrastlnating so important a
matter.
Several persons came forward for the
prayers Of the church.
At the conclusion OF the service tie ordi-
nance OF baptism was administered to three
candidates. The service tonight will close
tha services for this week.
Services are announced for Monday. after

NATURAL GAS.

E. ]. Beatie returned last night from Fort
Scott, where he went to get pointers regard
ing natural gas. He was present whe~ gas
was struck at one of the wells at depth of
200 feet. Six holes have been bored, two,
however, being failures.
In conversation with the expert, under
whose supervision the boring was being con-
Quoted, Mr.. Beatie was told that gas could
be obtained at this city and that be would
guarantee it at the depth OF ,0oO it.
Mr.. Beatie says that the rocks and deposits
taken out at Fort Scott at the depth of 80
feet were the same as those found here al
450 feet. He expressed himself as very much
encouraged to proceed with the work here,
and expects that this city Will soon be sup
piled with as good quality and great q
quantity OF the gas as any city in Kansas

HELP THE UNFORTUNATE.

Sheriff Hayes inten is to give his prisoner:
an extra dinner on Christmas If any in the
city feel like helping in this cause-helping to
give this dinner to those who are less fortu-
nate, such contributions will be thankfully
received. Its true it is no ones fault but the
inmates for their Incarceration, still they are
human and the idea of their being remem-
bered by the public cannot but work to the
end of bringing them to realize the fact that
humanity remembers them, although they
forget humanity. Leave your well-iilled
baskets at the Jail and have your multitude
OF sins covered by a charitable action.
