that troubles America, but the rush to

TEXAS seems bitten by big tarantula
all over in spots. Riots, from the Terri
tory clear down to the Mexican border,
are in order, and bad blood is engendersd
on the slightest proyOcatiOn. The
northers seem to have little or no in
fuenoe in cooling human passions, and
one is almost tempted to believe, as Of

denizens of the air into fury, and they
have stirred up the people to madness.

the dietary advice of medical practi-

THE FALL BOOM BEGUN

The cool weather of the past few days
has started off business at great pace in
Wichita. The long period of unusual heat
exercised depressing effect. But since
the thermometer dropped down to so, leth-
argy has been thrown aside and the city is
assuming its wonted air of activity. In
creased life is visible in all branches of
| trade. The wholesale interest is noticeably
enjoying the first fruits of the coming fall
trade, and greatly increased shipments to
all points in the west and southwest are be-
ing made
There is buoyant feeling among job
bers. They are hopeful of good early
autumn trade and predict a very much en-
larged business during the coming season.
Every present indication seems to point to
the certainty of a great boom in Wichita
business during the next year. The cool
weather has also had fine effect upon the
retail trade. The stores along Main street
and Douglas avuenue are now daily com
fortably filled with shoppers who are tax
ing advantage of the bargains usually Of
fered toward the fag-end of the season.
Fair week will fairly inaugurate the fall
trade here. 1t is expected that the num-
Der of visitors will be largely in excess of
former years.
The real estate boom has commenced in
earnest and in short time from now, it is
safe to say, will be in full swing There
are many whose opinions are valuable
who believe that the next twelve months
will witness the greatest activity in real es-
tate ever known in Wichita The build
ing boom is still going on, the foundations
for many new structures being laid. Some
of the larger new buildings will not be
completed until next year, but the vast ma
jority will be ready for occupancy by No
vember Wichitas characteristic boom
has begun, and it will last until-well, we
guess forever And all this is not an imi
tation of the X. c. Times strained boom

full manner Mr. Grattan, who was for a

A JUST COMPLAINT.

Complaint reaches us from several wards
in the city that at the Republican primaries
on Thursday, Democrats unblushingly
came forward with tickets and participated
in the selection of delegates to the Repub-
lican convention Such action, politically
speaking, is simply infamous. We don't
see how man who has no idea of support
ing party or of voting for its nominees
can have the cheer to attempt or even to
offer his vote in its primaries. There is =
law protecting parties in their conventions,
but it is difficult matter in growing
community like ours to spot such men. 1t
is generally supposed that men who take an
interest and pride in party, have manhood
enough to deter them from attempting to
run a party in which they have no interest
and in whose doctrines they do not believe.
Any Republican who would offer his vote
at Democratic primary ought not only to
be refused, but insulted, and the rule holds
just as good the other way
Wichita eagle., 1886-09-04
A MISTAKE.

The Leavenworth Times calls upon Sen
ators Ingalls, and Plumb and upon Gov
ernor Martin to 60 up into the Fifth Kan
sas congressional district and make stand
for Judge w. S. Wilson for congress as
against John A. Anderson. We are in
clined to think the Times advice not good.
There is a family row, apurely local quar-
rel, up there among the Republicans.
There are probably grievances on both
sides, but however that may be, the men
who are supporting Anderson are no more
who are supporting Wilson. 1t seems very
clear that the Republican party in that
district is very evenly divided, one side
having little to boast more than the other,
and the state central committee, nor sena
tors. nor the governor should put in their
oars. If they do the chances are that they
will make bad matters worse, and, maybe.
permanently divide the party in that dis
trict. If there had been an unreasonable
or factious bolt, or an unseemly row, or if
Mr. Wilson had been candidate before
the convention, and had made canvass of
the district against Mr.. Anderson, and then
secured the nomination.; or, had the Clay
convention been but rump, made up of
mad politicians, the Times advice might
be all right, but, under the circumstances,
we think it all wrong.

tn. RANDALL FOR COMMISSIONER

No Office, in the gift of the people, is
of more importance to the taxpayers than
that of county commissioner. With an hon.
est board of county commissioners, COM
posed of competant men, no rings, nor
schemes, nor jobs of any kind can effect
those who have the bills to pay-the tax
payers As congress is to the nation as
the legislature is to the state, so is a board
of commissioners to the county. In fact a
board of county commissioners are both
legislative and judicial body in very
important senses, They must often de-
eide what is law not only but must legis-
late on important matters. While there
were number Of good men before the
Goddard convention yesterday, for the
position of commission from the third dis
trict, we make no guess when we say that
in the nomination of T. H. Randall of Mt.
Hope, the party-the people-the tax-pay-
ers can rest assured that a man in every
way capable and in every particular suit
able, has been chosen as the Republican
nominee for that district; man who will
command not only the confidence OF the
taxpayers bnt the respect and support OF
the very gentlemen who sough the place,
two of whom have already sent us word
that they most heartily concur in the con-
ventions choice. If the conventions of to-
day do as well as the convention of yester
day there will be no trouble, and no doubt
as to the results of the campaign in this
county

ROBERT e. LAWRENCE.

The convention at Goddard yesterday, as
will be seen by the report printed else
where, nominated Robert E. Lawrence for
reelection as representative from the Eigh-
ti-third district Mr.. Lawrence's record,
made last winter in the legislature, fairly
entitled him to this honorable recognition
at the hands of the Republican party.
Bright. earnest and industrious, nothing of
interest to his constituency or of interest to
southwest Kansas ever escaped his atten-
ton, while as to general legislation his in
telligence and wide experience and obser-
vation rendered him a useful member. In
short, Robert Lawrence cannot only be
counted upon to vote his honest convic-
tions, but to guard every interest pertain
ing to the farmer and stock raiser. His
nomination by acclamation will be received
with pleasure by the great body of Repub-
icans of the Eighty-third district not only,
but by the Republicans of the county at
