A POSSIBLE

1t must have been something more
than a coincidence that the day appointed
for a test vote on home rule should have
been the anniversary of the passage of the
| reform bill. On June I, 1882. that great
which measure was, in itself, a revolution,
after many efforts and vicissitudes finally
triumphed and established constitutional
liberty on its present basis in great Brit
ain. The home rule bill may be expected
to do as much for Ireland, besides mark
ing an epoch in the political history Of
the United Kingdom, for it is not likely
that the principle once recognized will
fail to receive further illustration, Be-
sides. the correlativc of home rule is fed
Grafton, which must ultimately follow in
some form. As from the selection of the
day, the reform bill was evidently in the
mind of Gladstone and his followers, and
as their measure is not unlikely to pass
through a similar series Of trials and to be
brought to a successful termination in a
similar way, an outline of the history Of
the reform bill is given. The first bill
carried on its second reading by a MAORI
ty of one. This, So far as a vote of con
fdence' went, was equivalent to a defeat,
and the ministry-Earl Grey and Lord
John Russell appealed to the country
Just as Gladstone is about TO do. BY a
new house of commons, chosen under
great popular excitement, after many
weeks OF acrimonious discussion the bill
passed by l09 majority, only to be thrown
out Of the house of lords. A third bill
passed to second reading in the lower
house by l62 and in the lords by nine, but
in committceit afterwards failed in the lat
ter by thirty-fivc. Then was the neces-
sary pressure applied. The ministry
openly threatened the creation of as many
new peers as might be needed to carry
the measure, thus c~heapening the privi-
lege of the lords and setting a precedent
that might lead to its destruction. Alter
a vain attempt on the part of the duke of
Wellington to keep in power a ministry
without popular support, the lords finally
ave up the unequal contest and the re.
form bill became a law. 1t is probable
that history if 1t does not repeat, will
initiate itself to a considerable extent
within the next twelve months.

A new mineral has been discovered in
a gold-bearing ledge near Butte City,
Montana, which is described as carrying
considerable gold in places, but the latter
can not be separated from the strange
mineral by the ordinary process of work
ing gold ores. The mineral when melted
is white as silver, but much harder. II
takes about the same neat to melt it thai
is required to melt silver, and weigh,
about the same, but it is as hard as iron
after melting, while it is as soft as galena

A CITY OF THE FIRST CLASS.

Wichita is entitled to organize as city Of
the first class under the laws of Kansas, and
has been for many months, but the laws
governing the cities of the first class in Kan
sas are go cumbersome and their execution
and application SO outrsgeously expensive
that Wichita's good business sense has kept
her aloof. 1t actually costs more to run
town of twenty thousand people under the
"First Glass City" law than it should to
govern well and successfully city of one
hundred thousand people. The pride or
ambition of the trainers of the present law
outran not only their pocket books, but all
the effect that there will be an attempt to
pass g new act or make over the old one.
It's time. The machinery Of the act under
which the affairs of Wichita are now ad-
ministered is complicated and expensive
enough, even if the city was twice as great
as it is at present There is much hum
buggery connected with this claim and idea
of cities of the "First Class" People
never stop to ask what @class" a town or
city is, but what is its population, what its
business, etc. Give Wichita hundred
thousand people and business in proper
ton, with a cheap local government, and
you may call her village or what not.
What Wichita wants is prosperity and
greatness, not a mere "hifalutin" title; solid
wealth, not cheap name.

SLE.GHING

Old citizens say that the best sleighing

it is liable (, last some time. Indeed, the

is just enough to make solid road. Yester-

kinds of variations. Yesterday a jim-crow
sleigh hitched to pair Of spanking bays,
driven by Harry Hunt, was propelled at a
rapid pace on Douglass avenue east. The
heels of the horses were bothered by the

wagon was standing quietly by when the
team came along. but the horse-hitcLing to

whole layout, but did no damage. The
two-horse team turnout turned up north at

sleigh, knocking the runners out from under
it and stopped very near them without any
damage to speak of. The driver stood his
ground and though he could not stop them
he held on like good fellow.

AROUND THE CITY.

The beautiful sleighing yesterday caused
the people to get out into the cool bracing
air, and those who didn't have sleighs were
on the streets looking at those who did have
them. A few movers, some for the west and
some for the east, passed through the city,
and though the sleighing was good wagon
ing was equally so. the frozen ground with .
heavy coating of snow on top, enabled
wagons to do their accustomed work a. well
as usual.
A few teams with grain were on the
streets, and loads Of hogs also were offered
in the market.
Two western horse and mule buyers were
in the city looking for stock, and though the
market has been kept well supplied with all
kinds of stock, they did not buy yesterday.
At the Horse and Mule market large offers
were made for sale from the hundred head
or more there of all character, from Cay
use pony to Norman horse. and from q
Texas mule to a Kentucky bred mule. A
reporter was told that every thing
there wss for sale, and that
buyers enough would be in the city to take
them all in one week.
Another horse man said, "Wichita is now
the best horse market in the state"
Then the sales of goods in job lots at the
various wholesale houses in the city ap-
peared to be going on with unusual &C
tivity.
Druggists were putting up orders for
the country; grocery houses were setting out
boxes of goods for shipment; the -four ship
pers were filling orders and general activity
prevailed throughout the city. While there
WAS no startling news, a runaway was the
only thing to break the monotany Of
news.
Real estate men mad but few strangers to
work on, but those who were here were
good ones and the days sales were good.
The courts were not very active and law
yers for the most part appeared to be living
over the past coed active times when busi-
ness was easier got and smaller fees paid.
The hotel reception rooms hold most of
the guests and all idle men seem to congre-
