Pension Legislation,

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in COM
menting upon the ESQ 900 900 pension bill
just signed by the president, and the
$500, 900 600 under discussion in Congress,
says that with gigantic river and harbor
appropriations and pension arrears bills,
there will he no need of any reductions
In revenue duties or internal taxes be-
couse there will soon be q deficiency in
s.ead OF a surplus. The Inquirer then
proceeds to argue that with such evil
d,nces OF prodigality and unwise legisla-
tion and reckless expenditures under
Democratic rule "the people will not be
willing to retain that party in power.
This Ia q frank admission that all the
great dangers of a national surplus are
real and have not been exaggerated one
shade by the Democratic party. or
course the assertion that that party Is
responsible for prodigality, unwise legis-
lati0n and reckless expenditure is un-
worthy Of attention. But these faults
could not even be complained of il there
was not great surplus demanding care
and offering temptation to scheming pol.
iticians Of all parties.
1t Is not long since this same journal
was attacking the president for his vetoes
OF pension bills and now it is startled and
alarmed because he has signed a bill passed
BY Republican Senate giving n great
sum for pensions. Had it been vetoed,
thele would have been a great hue and
cry over the injustice of the Democracy
to the veterans Of the war. The new bill
appears extravagant to the Republicans
because it has Democratic support. They
had posed 30 long as the friends of the
soldier that any pension bill, however
extravagant, seemed sure of favor with
them. But as soon as the Democrats
show readiness TO remember the soldier,
they are struck with the reckless extayra.
gance OF the measures. The surest cure
for reckless extravaganza on the part of
an individual is curtailment of income
and that is what the Democratic party
proposes and the Republican party op.
poses.

Filters Fitness.

The Republicans of Pennsylvania are
invited by their managers TO feel an
enthusiastic admiration for the fitness OF
Mayor Filter, of Philadelphia, to be
uresident of the United States. They
NAV have some trouble in doing it, be-
csuse Of their ignorance as to the peculiar
qualifications Of Mr.. Filter for this high
Office. He doubtless has deservedly
local esteem we believe he makes good
chief magistrate. lie may make good
president. He has made q good rope
maker and has been successful
merchant. lie has not been failure In
any place that he has been called to fill,
which may afford TO his warm friends a
gratifying assurance that he will not be
q failure as president. In the country at
large, where Filter is less known, there
will naturally be greater doubt as to his
fitness and less enthusiasm for his
candidacy than in Philadelphia but as
he Is hardly expected to come before the
country at large, it will suffice IL the Re-
publican delegation from Pennsylvania
to Chicago is satisfied that he is good
enough candidate for their present
emergency, in which they find that they
have no one upon whom they Can

ADVANTAGES OF DODGE
CITY.

The natural prosperity of Dodge
City within the last two years has been
a matter of surprise, and comment by
almost every stranger, who has visited
us. so marked have been the changes
in commercial, governmental and social
lines that We now stand second to
none in point of advantages which 60
to make city admirable for residence
as well as health and happiness and
prosperity of its citizens. Our streets are
we'll graded. We have perfect sys-
TEN of sewerage. A splendid water
supply, superior electric lights. A
good police protection. A fire depart
ment in perfect order. Churches,
schools and colleges, all under the best
of management, and offering superior
advantages to all who will avail them
selves of them.
Added to this the natural position
of the city is such that great central
lines of railroads are being built which
will not only add vastly to our popu-
lation, but draw an immense amount
of trade, which with the developm ent
of the county Immediately surrounding
the city will add IN a very short time
very largely to the wealth of our citiz-
ems. There never was more healthy
outlook. aad no better time than now
to embark in new enterprises or invest
in real estate.
The A. 7. 4 5. F. management have
made Dodge City head quarters for
their line, necessitating the erection
of new depot and other buildings,
and the location in our city of great
many of their employees whose duties
require their residence here. This
will add largely to our population, and
the amount expended among our mer-
chants will be naturally increased.
Enterprises of this kind which draw
population and add to the taxable pro-
perty of the city is what we need and
every effort should be put forth by our
citizens to secure them.

STATE REPUBLICAN CON
VENTION.

The largest and most. enthusiastic
convention ever held in this state was
that held at Wichita May 10th, where
four delegates, four alternates, and
two electors at large were unanimous
" elected. The utmost harmony and
enthusiasm prevailed throughout the pro-
ceedings. a noticeable feature OF which
was the election of Albert Griffin as
delegate. "Straws show which way
the wind blows but when we see saw
logs and meeting houses in the air we
are satisfied cyclone is getting down
to business.
1t has been the opinion of the best
minds in the G.. o. P. for some time
past that the time for concilliatlng and
pandering to the liquor vote has passed,
and that the times call for vigorous
action and out spoken sentiment on the
part of Republicans against this great
est of crying evils, and it is to be hoped
that plank will be placed in the ma
tional platform, which shall be unmis-
taxable, thorough and we'll defined In
its denunciation against the saloon and
its influences. as we'll as all particiPa-
ton by the general government In any
manner with the abominable curse
since the whole tend of Republican
principles are, and ever have been tor
the best interests of humanity. Let
all be supplemented which shall embody
these ideas into national law, and thus
the reproach of legalizing lniquity, and
the antagonism between the Govern
ment at Washington, and that OF the
several states which have adopted pro-
hibition, forever wiped out.

DODGE CITY AGAIN TO THE
FRONT.

The order has been given to 60 into ef-
feet at once establishing the Harrington
and Dodge City Post Office. This makes
Dodge City the end of mail division of
the c. K. & n. The mail division of the
Santa Fee caused more than fifty men to
make their head quarters at Dodge.
This being the division for the G. K. &
n it will result in bringing at least
twenty five more families to our city.
All the large co-poration recognize
the Importance of our city as a railroad
and commercial center, and are anxious
to make this their head quarters.
The Santa Fe have made this their
freight and passenger division. They
have also established extensive repair
shops requiring large force of men.
They have already sent in their estimate
for a mammoth round house and extern
sive machine shops, also large brick de-
pot and eating house, similar to the one
at Newton. Erected at a cost of $780,,
600.
The G. K & N, or Rock Island, has
also selected Dodge City as the end OF
passenger and freight division, with
round house and extensive shops. They
recognize the Importance Of this place,
and are rapidly centralizing their inter
ests at Dodge City.
The Omaha Dodge City and Southern
will have their principles offices, shops
and divisions established here. The
Wichita Pratt and Western. The D. M.
& A. have given us to understand that
when their respective lines are complet-
ed to Dodge, that they will give us a
division of their respective roads.
The United States Government recog-
nize the importance and central location
of Dodge City, and have established here
their best equipped signal station in the
West and placed it in the care of one of
their most efficient and trusted officers.
Hhere is the division of time, and now
they make Dodge City the mail division
on all the various lines running into, or
through the city, making it the home of
more than hundred postal clerks and
government officials.
This is not all. The order will be
given in few days removing the U. S.
Land Office from Larned and Garden
City to Dodge City. The Larned Office
is now closed to the great inconvenience
and hardship of many settlers So that
it is imperative that the order be given
and carried into effect at once. So we
flourish and grow wealthy and are cor
respondingly happy.
