TEAR THE BLANKET!

The Hays Star Sentinel, a short
time ago, when it began to praise
the register and receiver at this land
office, did not stop at intimating
that they are elegant officers. 1t
advocated the re-appointment of
Captain Hanna as register, where
upon the Hays Ger. Am. Adrocate
winds up an article with this healthy
sentiment:
We can imagine of no reason why SO
good men as Schuyler and others named
in connection with the appointment to
the register and receiver of this district,
should step aside that a Republican
should gain place, and what is more, we
say to the powers that be in the matter of
these local appointments, that the de-
mocracy of western Kansas are becoming
heartily tired of the "namby-pamby" pol
icy being pursued. When in power, the
odor OF a Democrat was offensive to Re
publican officials nostril, yet now we find
them scratching ON the dung-hill of po-
ht,cal spoils, side by side with Democrats,
and willing to be wrapped in the blanket
OF partisan oblivion if thereby they can
secure office.

WESTERN KAS. WORLD.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF TREGo COUNTY.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1886.
TIE STATUS THE SAME,

At the meeting of the Knights of
Labor. Thursday evening, it was
voted unanimously that the room in
the stone house, on Washington
street, which has been used regularly
for the meeting Of the order, be
retained for this purpose, and that
the proposition, that the meeting
place be transferred to the basement
of the building, be rejected. 1t is
this spirit on the part of large
number of determined men of the
order-some of them stockholders
in the building-which, in the light
of present appearances, renders i'm
possible the removal Of the govern
ment land office. Receiver Pilkenton
r maintains that the title to the prop
erty must be quieted before he will
consent to the removal. The situa-
ton remains the same-unless, in
deed, more so--as we portrayed it
last week.
1t is amusing to see the organ
that virtually followed the
office over there last week hedge
this week.
The wry face it makes at getting
scooped all out Of shape would be
funny if it did not reveal such in
tensity of pain.
We feel called upon to remark,
as fact which will readily be adj
mitted without forcing, that it is
very unfortunate in many places to
feel called upon to buck live paper
with only three or four columns Of
original matter a week. Such
course may be the thing in some
countries, but il is a radical error to
attempt to attach western Kansas
to that territory.

HE quarter-centennial celebra-
ton at Topeka on the 90 ult. was a grand
affair. The addresses delivered show the
marvellous progress of Kansas during the
twenty-five years of its existence as a
state-a progress equaled by no other
state in the Union. The Commonwealth
and some other papers publish the ad-
dresses in full, and they afford interest
ing and valuable reading Norton
Courier. Among which 'other papers"
was the WESTERN KANSAS WORLD of last
week. The report of that quarter-centen-
NAL celebration forms one of the finest
documents for Kansas which could posi-
bly, have been devised.

say Of cur member:
"Mr. McNall is one of the small pro.
portion of members who are always to be

Wonder what other business member

occurred to large majority of the mem
bers that they were sent there TO look after
the interests of their constituents.lG Gay

WORLD DOCTRINE ENDORSED.

The Wa-Keeney WORLD is evidently a
son of The Union. Last week it tired
and kicked because of the laudation of
the dash and iberality of the Sata Fe,
and takes up the cudgel vigorously in be-
half of the Kansas Pacific. We never
can say Union Pacific, because the change
of name was an outrage, there being a
Union Pacific north of us. While the
Santa Fs was closed in Kansas from
Nickerson west, the trains on the Union
Pacific were running; not on time in
all cases, it is true, but to the great Joy of
travellers, coal consumers and myriads of
other people. The Santa Fe did not have
a single train on time during the month
OF January. The WORLD makes these
points in closing its article:
We would not harm southwestern Kan
sas, but we have here far better soil
than theirs; our region is more accessible
from the east than southwestern Kansas
is, because the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific is an airline road from
Kansas City to Denver. This road is
for the most part steel track, and its
employees are accommodating in the ex-
IRENE. Junction City Uniaa.
This is the first time we have had
direct information that the WORLD
belongs in the family of the aristo-
cratic portion Of the press of Kansas
-3ristocratic, we will add, because
old, well-established. There are on
" four, six or so of US. are there, dad?
In Union there is strength-where
it endorses World doctrine, and it
generally does.

Just commenced work the other day Tor u
per day THAT is stonemason's and stonecut-

and get labor OF any kind 10 work for Sl.50 TO
$3.50 day, on which wages men cannot live
in this territory, and left here for that Dur
pose. We have too many idle men here now

were passed.
Whereas, 1t having come 10 our knowledge
that one j. j. Palmer has declared his inten-
ton of procuring cheap labor from 81. Paul
aud Minneapolis TO replace those who have re-
fused to work for pauper wages; and
Whereas, There is now a large surplus OF
all kinds OF mechanics and laoors In this city,
and we look upon this attempt OF Mr.. Palmer
rs injurious not only 10 the mechanics, labor
ers and business men now here, but TO those
whom he may import; and
Whereas, The cost of living and OF every

whereas, We-deem il our duty, for the in

Although the mills are increasing their
-four output, the large use OF sacks keeps the
sales OF barrels ct a low figure. The sales of
last week were $1,000 barrels, against 20, 800
the preceding week, and AZ, 900 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1885. The number OF
barrels manufactured in the same period was
about $4,000. The barrel stock market is fea-
tureless, there being hardly enough demand
for anything to make a market. Dealers
claim that the established price of AZ cents
for heading is being faithfully maintained.
but this should apparently not be very diff
cult thing to do while no one wants to buy.
The receipts of stock here were quite heavy
last week, being forty cars, but it was almost
exclusively on old contracts.
