We give up our editorial space this morn
ing to an article from the pen Of Major Hen
~ Inman, on the subject of the elementary
energies in nature as exhibited in cyclones,
tornadoes, etc, together with many retiec-
tons and ascertained facts. Major Inmsn
is not only scholar but an acknowledged
expert and natural philosopher whose
opinions touching some of the natural sci
ences have been quoted and published in
magazines and other publications as high

Mr.. j. NJ. Tracy, of Clearwater, was in
the city yesterday snd told a reporter that
the Clearwater people would go for the
bonds for the new railroads just about as
solid As the Wichita people. He said the
reason the Fort Smith proposition was de-
fsated in Ohio township is that only about a
mile of the road was expected to be built in
that township. but Mr.. Tracy thinks sid
enough will be got for the road without
Ohio township. The people of Clearwater
are fully alive 10 the fac; that the taxes
that these roads will pay to the county will
moro than offset the aid asked.

MIGHT DO BETTER.

A reporter listened to q couple of gentle
men giving their opinion Of Wichita yes
terday at the Manhattan. One said the city
had done wonders the last five years, but
might have done far more. "Aside from mere
talk the people of Wichits have done very
little to build up the place. A few indi-
viduals have done very we'll in the matter
of railroads, and working successfully for
the appropriation for federal building but
that is ali. The position of the city to-
gether with her natural resources had
donethe rest. When the attention
of capitalists was drawn to
this city, if the people had given aid TO half
a dozen manufacturing establishments, the
town would be almost double as large as
now"
"Thst's about So" said the other. "In a
town like this where SO much foreign money
is being invested the tax for city aid to two
or three enterprises would never be felt, and
if this city would bond itself for a good and
complete sewerage system and expended
something in rendering their town a little
more metropolitan-like they would get it
back ten-fold. know monied
men from my neighborhood who
come to this town to invest but left with
out buying dollars worth of property be-
cause they imagined they could see nothing
to keep the place up, and they thought it
would never be drained"

while other more careful towns were left in

This whole western country was
built up by subsidies. The govern

the railroads in the matter of lard grants,
