We motel last week what j. l.. r., said
in regard to bonding the county for a
sugar factory, and intended then to COM
ment slightly upon the position he took.
He said 1T will not pay to haul cane
more three miles, but we will all have to
pay our share of the taxes, and those few
that live in the immediate vicinity will
get the sole benefit We do not agree
with j. l.. X. on either proposition, and
wish to comment lightly on the second,
trusting he will not take it unkindly. 1t
is an idea far too prevalent among farm
ers that anything which does not directly
put dollar into their pockets does not
narrow minded, and nothing could be
further from the truth. Any new enter
prise which brings money into the county,
and new industries which turns raw ma
terial into more valuable product, bene-
fits him. Every new business venture
which helps to build up the towns of his
county makes his property more valua-
BILE, whether the industry or enterprise is
one in which he is personally interested
or not. And the farmer, as well as the
real-estate agent or banker can afford to
pay his share of Increased taxation to
secure such enterprises. With very ex-
tensive knowledge of the farming COM
munities of this country, we have yet to
learn of neighborhood which has been
injured in the slightest degree by voting
bonds to secure new industries, but we
can point to scores which have bought
increased prosperity to the masses by
generous public aid extended to new hon
est enterprises. We are not arguing in
in favor of bonding the cnunty for a SUI
gar factory, it is subject requiring much
more study than we have yet been able
to give it, before we would advocate the
propOsition-our remarks are intended in
general sense. As rule the farmer S
attention is confined to the management
of his farm, and he does not have an OPP
portunity to study the broader principles
of general business, and hence business
opportunities which appear feasible and
desirable to men better posted in general
business do not strike the farmer favor
ably. His first impression is to oppose
any new undertaking of public charac-
ter for which a tax is to be incurred and
in which he is not directly interested. A
kpublic debt is by NO means always pub
&c calamity, md bonds judicously ex-

An old proverb occurs to us, where
the carcass is, there will the the buzz
yards be also" and when we see the
blear-eyed bummers, with their rum
blOssomed noses, and their half idiOtic,
expressionless faces congregated around
certain corners, and see them coming
and going up and down certain stalrways.
it leads us to suspect that a whisky jug

A QUESTION OF TITLE.

The action taken by r. NJ. Wright
last week in fencing up the eastern end
Of Front, Walnut and Chestnut streets
has been the subject of so much DIS
cussion among our people that Times
reporter has interviewed number of
those most likely to be informed in the
matter, for the purpose of laying be-
fore our readers such facts as can be
obtained throwing light on the subject.
The land in dispute is narrow wedge
shaped piece beginning at a point on
the south line of Military avenue,
where it is 11.2 feet wide, extending to
the river, where it Is about 100 feet wide.
In length it is about 1900 feet. The
portion fenced off by Mr.. Wright is
the north part of the strip above de-
scribed, ending with the north line of
Front street, and contains, 24-10O of
an acre.
The land embraced in the original
plat of Dodge City was entered as a
town site by H. L. Sitter, and was
proved up by the probate judge of
Ellis county, which then included what
is now Ford county, in 1874. The
probate judge conveyed the land to the
occupants and it was conveyed by them
to the Dodge City Town Site Compa-
ny. In the original conveyances this
tract is described as certain 'lots." In
laying out the the town, in order to
have the streets parallel to and at right
angles with the railroad, two wedge
shaped pieces were left, the one above
described and similar one on the
northwest corner of original town site.
The latter was sold some time ago to
L. K. Mcintyre and n B. Klaine, and
the piece now in question was sold by
the Dodge City Town Site Company to
Mr.. Wright last spring. One object
Mr.. Wright had in buying the proper
ty, was to protect his own interests, as
he owned property adjoining on the
east, and he wished to avoid any chance
of its passing into the hands of some
one who might use it for speculative
purposes. Soon after the property
came into his possession, Mr.. Wright
made proposition to the city to buy
it from him and throw it open as a
street, and the matter has been before
the council until quite recently, when the
proposition was rejected.
Judge Sterry, of Emporia, has been
retained by Mr.. Wright as his council,
and under his advice the action fencing
off the property claimed wus taken.
He has been offered $1,000 for the pro-
perty, but offers it to the city for less
in consideration of It's being opened as
a street.
Ind city claims that the property in
question already belongs to the public
by reason of donation by the Townsite
company prior to its conveyance by them
to Mr.. Wright. 1t is an admitted fact
by both parties tibet the ground has
been used by the public as highway
ever since the town was settled.
Among other ideas advanced by law
yers of good standing is this, that the
strip in question is still Government
land. Others say that whether the
title is still in the Z. S. or not, that it
has been in use as highway long
enough to make it "a public highway.
Unless some compromise can be eff
fected an expensive litigation will be
The result.

What ever has been gained by prohi
bitionists in the way of legislation to re-
strain and control the liquor traffic, has
been obtained through the Republican
party. More has been lost to the cause
of temperance through the organization
of a third party than has ever been or
ever will be accomplished. Since its or
ganizatiOn, the Republican party has been
the champion of moral issues and its
prOudest boast is its achievements in this
direction. Its leaders may be trusted to
champion the cause of temperance as they
have every other moral issue, and the
friends of prohibition as as well as more
moderate temperance men and women
will best serve the cause in which they
are interested by remaining in and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
party.

CLANCY VS.. CLANCY.

We are informed that the statement
published in the CAPITAL of the Orphans
Court proceedings on Tuesday in relation
to the estate of Mrs. Emily NJ. CLANCY,
was not altogether correct, or at least
complete. The contest was between Rich
ard g. CLANCY, as executor of Emily Nj.
CLANCY, deceased, and Marine ID. CLANCY
as to whether cez.Rin personal property
and policies of LIE insurance should or
should not be included in the inventory
of the estate of Emily NJ. CLANCY.
After hearing testimony the Orphans
Court decided that alAthe personal prop
erty claimed by her executor as belonging
to the estate of Emily II. CLANCY, ought
to be included in the inventory of her es
tate: and the inventory as returned by the
executor was accordingly approved by
the Court The Court also ordered that
q life insurance policy on the life Of Ma
rine d. CLANCY for 81 900. in favor of his
former wife, Emily NJ. CLANCY and her
children. should be included in the inven-
tory. The Court observed after passing
these orders that their jurisdiction was
not final and that, if desired by the par
ties, issues could be framed and sent to
the Circuit Court for trial.
