Wherein the Letters Differ.

The letters of President Cleveland and
Gen. Harrison substantially differ only
on the tariff or the surplus which the
tariff produces. The surplus now amounts
to about $3.50, 100000. The tariff as it is
brings in about 800, 000, 900 more each
year than the government requires for
spending purposes of all kinds Presi
dent Cleveland favors such reduction of
the tariff as will save that amount of
money to the people. He would have
them keep it in their pockets for their
own purposes, instead of collecting it for
the treasury only to remain piled up
there, withdrawn from the business of
the country. Gen. Harrison has a rem
edy, too, but it is for the diffusion of the
surplus and the perpetuatiOn of the tariff
taxes which produce it.
The language Of the two candidates Isl

Referring to Gen. Harrison very propo
sition, Mr.. Cleveland says: IF the dis
tribution of the surplus were accom-
plished, another accumulation would soon
take it's place, if the constant flow Of re-
dundant income was not checked ut its
source by reform in our present tariff
laws" To this Gen. Harrison's reply
would be: Buy up some more bonds.
Here we have the two men sharply at
variance. President Cleveland says: Re-
duce the surplus" Gen. Harrison says:
"Use 1t for bonds" President Cleveland
maintains that the high tariff benefits
only the monopolsts and Expresses the
people. General Harrison would main
tain the high tariff for the monopolists
and hand over the surplus to the bond
holders. The plain people are the meat
in the novel sandwich Of the Republican
candidate. He has no recommendation
for their benefit at all. The monopolists
are his first solicitude. The bondholders
are his second. The people are not even
an after thought with him.-Brooklyn

The Maine FiascO.

carried Maine by plurality Of 1900,
The Tribune cried in big type: well
done, Maine! The defeat Of Cleveland is
writ large in what she accomplished on
Monday" At the late election Maine
failed to duplicate her plurality, and The
Tribune sees in it "a certain harbinger Of
victory all along the line in November. :"

and there is nothing in the Maine elec-
ton to indicate that he will not repeat
the tripmph.-New York World.

with giant strides. Commerce increased
at marvellous rate. Manufactures were
imbued with new life. Agriculture was
prosperous to q degree hitherto unknown,
and the policy of lowering the tariff tax
to prevent the accumulation of a surplus
was pursued. In 1857 panic, superin-
duced by wild land speculations, ensued,
but before 1858 its effects had passed
away, and up to 1860 agriculture, manu-.
lectures and commerce were on the high
tide OF prosperity, and we successfully
rivaled England in maritime greatness.
In 1861, to meet the exigencies of the
var, tariff taxes were raised substantially
to the protective basis of 1912. In 1864
these taxes were raised so per cent, and
i" 1867 they were raised again, although
The war was over. In 1888, under the
.etense of a reduction. they were again
j sreased to their present standard.
SAGE the war the millionaires have grown,
while the great agricultural interest has
stood still. Strikes of workingmen against
oppression have convulsed the land. In
1873 financial cyclone swept the country
and impoverished countless numbers of
people. Tramps filed the land from ocean
to ocean, and laws against tramps were
enacted. The panic of 1878 lasted until
1879, and the suffering among our people
was equal to overcrowded Europe. I'm
employed workingmen was the rule for
seven years, and the protected few de-
manded more tax as the remedy, while
they imported foreign paupers in foreign
ships to take the place of American work

exhibition of itself over the returns, as

against which Mr.. Greeley used to warn
his young associate, that, namely, of pre-
diction. The Tribune says of the Maine
flasco: Never was there more certain

cheerful announcement, but places beside
it The Tribunes editorial on the same
subject in 1884. The two predictions
have comical look in parallel columns:

KELLY'S OPERA HOUSE.

Among the many handsome buildings
which adorn the streets of Dodge City
and give evidence of the progressive
character of the town, one of the most
prominent is the Kelly Opera House, a
cut of which will be found in these
pages. 1t was built by the proprietor,
Mr.. j. H. Kelly, in 1886, at a cost of
nearly $40, 900, and is very handsome
building; complete, convenient, COM
Portable and well appointed in every re-
spect The seating capacity is eight
hundred, with six hundred adjustable
orchestra chairs; stage 26x50, with seven
full sets of scenery; foot lights, calcium
lights and all necessary stage machinery
and appliances. In short it is exactly
such building as one would expect to
find in such a town as Dodge City.

of this fact has been made
There is very little desirable govern
ment land in this part of Kansas which
is open for entry, and the business trans
acted at the land offices in the western
part of the state IS rapidly diminishing.
1t is only a question OF time, and in all
probability very short time before some
of the land offices will be discontinued,
and the present offices moved to some
point nearly in the center of given dis
trict, which will embrace more territory
than the present districts. When this is
done Dodge City is quite certain to be
made land Office, and those who are in
the ring claim to know that it is the in
tentiOn of the Department to order this
change this spring. If this is done it will
be an important addition to the CONNER
cial Importance of the city.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM.

The time having arrived when telephone sys-
TEN in Dodge City was necessity, it is about to
be secured. Messrs j. NJ. Hastings and Mac S.
Todd, two of our enterprising young business men,
took the matter in hand, and on the 2Sth of Jan
uary last secured charter and began to arrange
for putting in d telephone plant in Dodge City,
which undertaking will be carried out in the early
spring. The plans are not yet entirely completed,
but it is more than probable they will introduce
the CUshman system. One advantage of this sys-
TEN is that the plant, including the phones, is
owned and managed entirely by the home COM
pany. Connections will be made with the Col
lege and South Dodge, and the system will be a
very great convenience in tIansacting business.
The enterprise which demands and the active
public spirit which supplies business facilities like
telephones in city the size and age of Dodge,
is unfaing indication of the character of the
town. Dead, sleepy towns do not need them. and
shrewd business men do not put their money into
such improvements where they not demanded
and do not promise to be profitable. The towns
which possess and patronize such Improvements
are good towns own property in and to live in.
With the completion Of the telephone and the
street railway, Dodge City will be supplied with
every one of the modern conveniences of business
which are within the reach of a moderate sized
city. Is not this Of itself the strongest endors-
ment we can give our town.
