The Daily Graphic Defunct.

Wednesday we ceased the publication
of the Great Bend Daily Graphic, after
having faithfully and earnestly labored
for over fifteen months to furnish for
this city live and energetic daily
paper. a very few words will suffice
to explain the reasons for ceasing the
publication.
First, no city of 1850 inhabitants or
less can support daily paper unless
every man interested in it's publication
as benefit to the city is willing to pat
roniZe it liberally-more literally than
the Graphic was patroniZed. This in
fact is the main reason for our stop
ping the publication. A few Of the
business men appreciated the wortki-
ness our of effort and gave the paper lib
eral support, this support coming
equally from the democratic and repub-
lican ranks. In view of this fact we
the Graphic free from all politics. Re-
Gently, however, upon the request and
advice of a number of our patrons, we
made change in the Geographic report
received, and by this change obtained
the same Geographic service that is
used in the Hutchinson Ne,cS. This has
not given satisfaction to some of our
readers and to the publisher, for the
reason that the telegraph matter was
strongly warped toward the side of re-
publicanism and was not doing justice
to the staunch democrats who have
stood by us from the start, and to
whom we had pledged ourself to keep
the paper neutral in politics.
Second, being therefore republican
exponent but expressing neutrality, it
compromised us in the eyes of the de-
mocraey and threw us open to the
to the charge of double dealing, which
is one of the best reasons in the world
why we should stop it, as it is our aim
and resolve to stand squarely by the
principles of the party of our adoption
and make no concessions to republican
ism. We have no palmer reason to
offer for suspending the Graphic, than
last five or six months it has not paid
and a years experience in
the business has taught us that at the
present, and until the city has grown
it can not be made pay
ing business.

Jephtha'S Daughter.

One of the most enjoyable entertain
ments of the season was the cantata of
Jephtha's Daughter, presented at the
opera house last night by home talent.
The costumes were. we'll gotten up, and
nothing occurred to mar the easy pre-
sentatiOn of the piece. Mrs. DR.. Ayres
deserves special credit for the manage
ment of the entertainment, as to her
indomitable efforts is due its success.
MI. w. E. Carr, as "Jephtha," did
some magnificent singing, as did Miss
Florence TOwsley and Mrs. DR.. Ayres.
The house was packed to its fullest ca
pacity, and after the Entertainment re-
freshments were served in the hall.

Smiths BIG Purchase.
f. =. j. Is.

The Kansas City Journal and Ster-
ling Gazette bring to light an act of
Farmer Smith, which is not pleasant to
his friends. 1t is said that Smith voted
against the Quantrell raid claims; but
the representative from Douglas coun-
ty afterward told him that he need not
expect Smith delegates from that coun-
ty in his candidacy for governor.
Smith then went to the chief clerk and
changed his vote to the affirmative.
These claims aggregated about $500, 900,
we understand. Was Mr.. Smith will
ing to give S6OO,0OO of the state money
for Douglas county delegates? 1t seems
so. We shall be slow to make any
fight on Mr.. Smith, but if the above
charges are true, we are ready to begin.
We would fight any candidate on these
premises. Manhattan Nationalist.

Fighting the Working Horse.

According to the National Stocknlan
there is not much difficulty in getting
up fuss with your horses when work
ing them in the fields or anywhere else,
that will last all day. The way TO do
tits whenever a horse gets contrary for
you TO do likewise. If a horse shows
signs of stubbOrnness or contrarIness,
just get mad yourself, and act as man
as the horse does, and you can rest as
sured that you are fixed for the day, or
as long as you want to keep it up.
Horses, like men, are generally set in
their ways, and when horse, with on
ly a moderate amount of sense, gets in
to trouble with a man that is blessed
with only moderate amount Of this
useful article, the two generally have a
monkey and parrot time'' from morn
ing until night. Wellbred horses are
seldom stubborn and unruly, and in
this respect there is a striking analogy
between horses and men. Horses that
are dOcile, obedient and tractable in
the hands of one man, are vicious
and unruly in the hands of others.
The reason for this is the one knows
how to manage them, while the other
does not. Bad dispositions are gener-
ally the result of bad management and
handling. 1t will take but a few slaps
and jerks, accompanied by little short
talk or few fierce yells, to get the most
gentle horse clear beside himself, and
ready to fret and worry the remainder
of the day. The more quiet and steady
you keep your horses the better it will
be for them, yourself and all concerned.

THE Chicago ''hoodoo" is one of the
vent holes of republicanism, where
the bloody shirt waves side by side
with the stars and stripes and looks the
uglier by comparison. But it will all
do the g. o. p. no good; Cleveland has
surely 'hoodooed" all their plans in
advance, and their platform will appear
to the honest people of America as thin
and flimsy as last years cotton win
dow screen, nor will it "hold water''
any better. "There is a destiny that
shapes our ends"-and it shapes them
democratic.

ONE of the richest loan companies in
the country is the Hamilton Invest
ment Co. There are scores of farms
in this country on which they hold
mortgages and their aggregate loanings
through Kansas amount to many mil
lions. Yet the three heaviest stock
holders of the company are cotton man
ufacturers, engaged in an Infant in
dustry' which must be protected.
When farmer is hustling to raise his
semi-annual interest let him reflect
that that is not the only hold these
bloodsuckers have on him. On every
grain sack, every sheet on his bed,
every shirt he and his boys wear, every
calico dress and apron his wife and
daughters possess, he pays tribute to
these same men. How long shall this
Ubiquitous tariff continue to rob the
many for the benefit of the few? Down
with war taxes and give the farmer a
chance for his life.-Ellsworth Demo-

THEY can only say against Thurman
he is old. We never knew but once be-
fore that it was a disgrace to be old,
and that was when the democrats of
the 18th congressional district, of Ill
enois, nominated Judge Shaw for con-
gress, the republicans sent up the howl
that he was old, but the Judge got
there all the same and was highly hon
ored for being the oldest member in
the house. Just so with Thurman.
He will get there and will be honored
on account of the divine blessing that
few receive-age, and the heathens,
flor none but heathens and savages
dlshonor their agedl, will be scorned at
for their uncivilized acts.-Leaven-

GREAT BEND has the reputation of
being the liveliest city other size along
the Arkansas river. Our merchants
are doing better business, our real
estate men are making more trades,
and our surrounding farmers are hav-
ing better prospects for crops than any
of the surrounding cities. Still trade
is comparatively dull and money is I'M
doubtedly scarce. Our citizens should
not make the mistake of retrenching
to too great an extent; indoing so they
may choke off some industries which
would, if properly assisted through the
dull season, greatly benefit the city.

AT Last the hustle has cot into court

At last the hustle has got into court
Bustle is the very thing our court gen.
orally have lacked, but this hustle and
that hustle are two distinct affairs.
This hustle is one of those which forms,
the suberbs of womankind; one of those
femenine annexes which follow our
sisters and our cousins and our aunts
at a.respeciful distance. A Montreal
woman ordered cloak but when it was
made refused TO take it because it did
not fit. The tailor took the case into
court and explained that the cloak
would fit if the woman would wear a
smaller hustle. The woman swcars
that her hustle is no larger than the
regulation size. The court has taken
the matter under ADJUSTMENT and we
may expect soon to know whether
there are any legal limits to the size eff
hustle, and, if there are, what those
limits may be. 1t is important that
this question be decided, The Amer
lean continent is rapidly becoming
more densely peopled, and the day
may not be distant when it will be
necessary for court decision of the
question of how much room one person
is entitled to take up at given time.

THIRTY MILES DISAPPEAR

Thirty miles of country is a big
thing to disappear, but this distance
has been dropped out between Kansas
City and Chicago. How it happened
is thus figured out: The Chicago,
Santa Fe & California railway is COM
pleted between Kansas City and
Chicago, and the distance between the
two cities is only 45S miles measur-
ing from Union Depot, Kansas City,
to Dearborn Station, Chicago. This
is exactly thirty miles less than by
any of the old lines, so you have to
travel thirty miles less, and practical
ly the Santa Fe has made thirty miles
disappear. A few years at this rate
and Kansas will be in New England.
