BUT WHO IS TO DETERMINED

The difference between Topeka and Wichita Is a
difference of environment difference Of life, diff
ference of business activity, difference Of people,
therefore, difference OF opinlon.-Wicbita Eagle.
The EAGLE gets at the kernal of the nut
exactly. There is difference between the
people in Wichita and Topeka. Wichita
has not enough of the right kind. But a
stern enforcement of the law will drive
out the undesirable element and draw to
the city better class to fill their places
The decent people of Wichita should never
let up on their natural enemies.-Topeka
Journal.
The sauce for the goose, in this case,
is not sauce for the gander. What is
food for one may be poison for another.
If all the people of this city who are con-
sidered undesirable by Topeka were
driven out there wouldn't be anybody
left except the assistant attorney gen.
eral and few dozen others, and per-
haps the conceited representative of a
stilted newspaper whose busted town
fails it of support.

GOVERNOR CORONA DEAD.

Governor Corona, whose capital is

the prettiest in the world with its mar

glorious tropical foliage, rich fruits and
brilliantly plumed birds, will remem-

and his American wife all visitors, and
Americans in particular, have been in
debted for never failing courtesy and
hospitality. AS well for all the attrib-

Of the Mexican republic, General Cor

The Atchison Champion says that it is
opposed to resubmission because it is
morally certain that the majority against
il would be simply overwhelming, and
Tor that reason would leave the whole
matter just where it stands at present.
Is the ground well taken? If reputable
minority can be convinced that they are
wrong and that the majority against
them is simply overwhelming then
this matter would not stand Just as it
stands at present, but upon the other
hand boiling Republicans would either
return to their ALLEGIANCE or go off into
the other party for good and there would
oe less distraction, trouble, and vexation
of law all around. Eli, Dr.?

LET Us STOP FIBBlNG TO EACH
OTHER

The Atchison Champion says that it is
opposed to resubmission because, among
many other reasons, resubmission is the
demand of transparent Democratic
dodge. That may be true of Atchison
but it is not true of other counties in the
state. wherein hundreds of straight out
old line Republicans bolted the ticket
In Sedgwick county one thousand Re-
publicans voted the Democratic ticket
straight, and thousand more refused to
vote the Republican ticket because the
Republican convention refused to endorse
resubmission or new constitution, and
they thus voted and thus refused. in
face of ali the pressure which could be
brought in the way of appeals and argu-
ments. And we venture the prediction
that if the editor of the Champion will
take the pains to ask n dozen Republi-
cans of Atchison known to have voted
against the Republican ticket wherefore
they Gid so that three-fourths of them
will assign the resubmission question as
the real reason.

PLEASE SWALLOW THE FALSE
HOOD.

The editors whose papers are continu-
ousiy asserting the SANDER that Wichita
is controlled by lawless elements and the
police commissioners are men who do
not do their sworn duty, will much
oblige the people of Wichita by publicly
swallowing their contemplate falsehoods
at their earliest convenience. A greater.
more persistent and conscientious
effort has been made by Wichita
and her. officials to enforce the
prohibitory law than by any city
of the state. AS proof Of this
fact. Wichita and Sedgwick county have
paid more money for evidence and for
prosecutions, jailed a greater number of
the violators of the prohibitory law than
have the people and officers of any two
cities in the state combined.

If the Wichita EAGLE wants to join the

Such insinuations and imputations
are unworthy a fair and intelligent mind.
The writer of them knows, if he has read
EAGLE and knows anything, that instead
of leaning towards the Democracy, the
EAGLE has been laboring for months to
save the Republican party from defeat
by the Democratic party, result that

change of policy and methods are speed

THE ASPHALT MINES OF UTAH.

Salt Lake City Letter to the Albany Journal
The extensive veins OF asphalt on the
other hand, bid fair to become of great
commercial importance. The deposits
thus far discovered are chiefly IN the
sandstone lodges along the line of the
Denvor & Rio Grande railway. These
Lodges extend across the Wesatch noun
tains and eastward into Northwestern
Colorado. Prof. Newberry thinks these
deposits Of asphalt are in places satura-
ted, have their origin in spontaneous dis
tillation Of the bituminous shaies OF the
Colorado group, which in Eastern Colo
RADIO are from /, 800 to 1850 feet thick
1t is reported that IN some places the
substance comes TO the surface in q
semi-liquid form, as in the case Of the
Trinidad asphalt lake, but that which
has thus far been placed on the market
has been taken from the lodges OF sand
stone and is called sand asphalt Mr..
Holster. secretary of the chamber Of
commerce, informs me that in this sand
stone asphalt nature has mixed the sand
stone with the asphalt, something that
IN general has to be done artiiicialiy-
the latter being naturally less perfect
! than the former.

THERE Is MORE OF KANSAS.

The resubmissionists gained a victory in
Wichita and Leavenworth. 1t should be
remembered, however. that Kansas is not
located in these towns.-Haddam Clipper.
Kansas, however, without them would

and forty millions of dollars poorer, with
one-fifth of her present commercial and
manufacturing business lost to say
nothing of the loss of the brains and the

THE LIES OF THE TOPEKA HOTEL
LOBBIES.

Morris county was not the only county,
in Kansas that went wrong last Tuesday.
Leavenworth. Douglas, Ford, Sedgwick,
Geary and quite number of others were
visited with surprise parties. This is all
very pleasing to the Democrats, but the
boiling Republicans and mugwumps who
brought this result about will be mel tally
kicking themselves before another year
rolls around. The decent Republicans
will not forget their conduct on last Tues
day, and every one will get his dose in
time.-Council Grove Republican.
If. however, the boiling Republicans
find out that they really represent ma
joritv sentiment of the state and organize
upon that basis won't the mental kick
ing be liable to take place upon the part
of somebody else. Is it possible for a
mere machine to dominate and keep
down a real majority for any great
length of time? Wouldn't it be wiser
for the Republican party to convince
these boiling Republicans that the state
is really for prohibition by resubmitting
the amendment and thereby convincing
the boilers of their mistake, and thus
bring them back into the party:
Now, another question, Mr.. Republi-
can: Because the party bosses and the
ring representatives of the different To-
calities of the state get together IN the
hotel lobbies at Topeka and assure each
other that everything is salubrious in
their particular and respective localities.
and that the prohibition law is enforced
gloriously and right up to the letter, and
then and there thus stuff each other
with all manner of such lies. is that fact
of consistent and persistent falsehood
any evidence upon which to base po-
litical campaign or to plant a statute, or
does it in any manner represent the sem
timent of the state:

The Republican ticket in Harper coun-

when it says: 'This is a question that

occurred calculated to create ripple
ceing the protest of five members of the
chamber Of deputies against the admis-

Boulanger's successful opponent at the
late election. Of course the protest will
be disregarded, but it is not probable that
this will produce tempest. AS long as

POPULAR DEMANDS.

The idea of being called rebel or
revolutionist unquestionably deters many
intelligent and otherwise candid public
men in Kansas from expressing their
honest convictions affecting the public
interest, but even that revulsion:of feel
ing cannot deter some of them from
voicing what they know to be in part at
least, the demands of justice. Among
these last is the editor of the Fort Scott
Monitor. and while he does not embrace
all the points, even emitting some of the
more important and pressing ones, yet
the following partial resume of reasons
are sufficient to indicate that he fully
ciates the popular demands. The
necessity for many and radical changes
in our organic law and system of politi-
cal economy has seized the public mind
and it is not to be satisfied with senti-
mental firmmery nor bluffed by mere
assertions and threats. But here is the
Monitors declaration:
That Kansas needs new constitution
for reasons of vital Importance to the
people, no thoughtful man questions. In
every department of the state and
county governments there are wrongs
which cry out for remedies. The
judiciary is behind the needs Of the state
and is withal expensive beyond reason,
considering the results attained. Our
system of assessment and taxation is
unequal, inasmuch as small property
holders are taxed for all they have,
while the wealthy escape. The corpora
ton laws of the state demand re-
modelling, and the right of controlling
railroads expanded. all of which should
be founded in constitutional provisions
broad enough TO protect the people and
yet just in their limitations. Kansas
needs nothing today so bad as she does a
constitutional convention
