A DAMP SEASON.

The past week has been gloomy one.
For six days no single CLINT OF sunshine
has reached this valley, Tor the most
part of which time lowering clouds and
dense fogs have. hovered over and en-
veIoped us. Everything has become
moist and sticky, SO unlike the usual
Kansas weather The streets of this
city are becoming horrible and the alleys
horribler. Everybody says it is good for
crops. If they mean good for crops OF
pneumonia and colds and coughs we
should have to agree with them, although
there seems to be good health generally.
Whatever may be said touching an in
creasing rainfall for the west, there is
no denying the fact of a great climatic
change and rapid one. Where once
we had open sunshine, high, bracine
winds and now and then a tremendous
rain storm. now we have humid atmos-
phere, prevailing fogs, drizzling rains
and heavy dews. Where once the
water came down IN floods it now comes
in utilizing way, SO that the same
amount of water does vastly more good.

THE HENRY CLAY CLUB.

On Friday last a charter was forwarded
to the secretary of state for the incorpor-
alton of the Henry Clay Club. This or
ganization is intended to be a permanent
institution, composed Of gentleman who
are in sympathy with the aims and pur-
poses of the Republican party, both state
and national. 1t is designed to have
rooms comfortably furnished for social
purposes and for the entertainment of
men Of prominence who may happen to
visit Wichita, and If is hoped to make
this club bear the same relation to Wich-
ia that the Union League Club bears to
New York or the Lincoln Club to Chi
cago. 1t will not represent any clique or
faction. but is to be controlled by men of
all shades of party thought-the only
test being good personal character
and fidelity to the broad
principles of Republicanism. The in
corporators will constitute but very
small portion of the whole cIub-the
idea being to extend the membership as
widely as practicable at the meeting to b e
held Monday evening at the office of
Judge Jewett, No. 207 North Main street.
The incorporators have simply taken out
a charter for the purpose of etfecting a
legal organization in pursuance of a de-
termination of the meeting held on last
Monday. AT the same time the names
attached to the charter are in themselves
a guarantee both of the breadth and
character of the organization as well as
Of its permanent success.
The objects OF the corporation is
stated in the charter to be the diSsemina-
tion of facts and information relating
to social and political issues: the MAIN
tenance of a library and of a club for
social enjoyment"
The list of incorporators is as follows:

OUR DEFAMERS.

1t is getting to be fashionable among
eastern papers to publish something
against Kansas. When some good.
healthy lie is hatched in the brain OF
some dead beat and promulgated it is
picked up and published and repub-
hShed as though the salvation of the
race depended upon their knowing it.
There is cause for this. What is il:
In the first place some people living in
states east Of Kansas have heard of the
remarkable growth of Kansas and her
great city, Wichita. For some reason
not To he accounted for in any rational
hypothesis these people concluded that
the prosperity of Wichita and of Kansas
is positive injury to them. Hence
they conclude when Wichita or the state
OF Kansas is overtaken by some caiam-
ity 1t is a sure indication of their own
prosperity.
This IN some manner accounts for
many of the ridiculous stories that are
published in eastern papers. These
stories in many instances are furnished
by western correspondents of these
papers. who reside IN Kansas towns.
These smart Alecks want To furnish their
papers what the papers themselves de-
mani, aud therefore send them some

FOR GOVERNOR.

a few months ago NJ NJ. Murdook was a
formidable candidate for that exalted
place. and today would have been as for
inidable had he not taken sides against the
state of Kansas in favor of Wichita
Douglas Tribune.
The fact that q year ago last summer
and fall sixty-one papers out OF the three
or four hundred in Kansas came out Cor
Niurdock for the Republican nomination
for governor did not constitute him a
candidate. Upon the other hand he dis
tinctly stated that he had a work upon
his hands which would preclude the pos
sibility of such an honor, even had it
been his ambition or desire. The Tribune
states what that work was, but states it
in an unfair way. He felt that the work
would be successful, and if successful,
that out of it would arise jealousies and
envies, bitter reflections and sharp words.
such as would preclude all possibility of
political recognition, because of the pow
erful sources from which they must
come While Wichita has won it has
not been at the expense Of the state, nor
because Murdock took sides for Wichita
as against the state. 1t only has that
seeming, which seeming he knew would
inevitably follow the victory and which
seeming is incompatible with the secur-
ing of delegates.
II. NJ. Murdock never was formidable
candidate. therefore, for governor, nor
any other kind of candidate beyond
that of his newspaper friends, whose
kind intentions and fiatteling words have
all long since been duly acknowledged.

Once upon time, down in Pennsylya-
MIA, two boys engaged in fight in one
of the principal streets of a little village.
They soon attracted large crowd in the
middle of the street. The father Of one
of the boys, a long, gaunt specimen of
humanity, dressed in shirt and large
pair of loose jeans trousers, held up by a
pair of yarn suspenders, leaned forward
and encouraged his boy by shouting
bite him, jake. bite him, jake. bite
him." The father of the other boy. not
liking the proceeding, slipped around
and drew his jack knife through the
afore mentioned yarn suspenderS. The
trousers dropped to the ground and that
other garment floated in the breeze. And
that is about the position in which John
Sherman left Senator Kenna the other
day in that tariff discussion.
