To the Kansas gentlemen who are in
st. Louis attending the anti-dresSed beef
convention we commend the following
news wired from Indianapolis to the
Cenclnnati Commercial last Friday:
Some weeks ago Mr.. McKenzielnegotiat-
ed the sale OF site on Georgia street, near
the Big Four tracks, to Armour & Co. of
Chicago, Oh which they Were, il was sup
posed, TO erect a warehouse for the estab-
lishment of dressed beef storage and 10
handle all kinds OF meats. Yesterday Mr..
Mckenzie received a communication from
Armour 4 Co, saying that owing to the
beef bill. which had just passed the Indi-
ana legislature, 1t was doubtful If they
ever built
Wichita eagle., 1889-03-13

Frank Gillett in promising the anti
dressed meat convention that in a GER
tain event the legislature of Kansas
would be convened in extra session, bit
off more than he can chew. Governor
Martin might have called an extra ses-
sion for such a purpose, bat we haven't
the remotest idea that Governor Hum
phrey could be persuaded to saddle the
state with the expense of an extra ses-
sion over matter about which there ap-
pears SO great variety of opinion. How
ever, the opinion Of men of the widest
experience in the matter seems to be that
the proposed legislation, whatever it
might do fer the stock raiser and meat
packer generally speaking, that it would
be absolutely sure to give the consumer
a poorer quality Of meat at higher
price and probably benefit the eastern
farmer at the expense of the western
stock raiser

The new charter spook Is again staring
The City of Kansas in the face to the
city's great perturbation. The PROPOSE
ton to adopt the instrument that has
been drafted is to be voted on at the
spring election, but being sort Of cast
iron arrangement, as it is characterized
by some, its adoption is bitterly opposed.
In view Of the city's past experience in
the matter of amending It's charter, it
would seem to be very essential that the
new instrument, whenever one shall be
adopted, ought to be made as invulner-
able as possible. This constant tinker
ing with the laws is a menace to the
prosperity of any community, and when
once adjusted with approximate fairness
to the varied interests they should be
placed beyond the reach of those who
make their manipulation their principal
livelihood

Some other interesting facts about the
new administration are pointed out by
the Philadelphia Ledger. Of the ten
members-president, vice president and
cabinet-four were born in Ohio, two in
New York and two in Vermont. Four
are college graduates, and four graduates
of country school houses. Five-one-
half of the entire number-are or have

The Republican majority in the Fifty
first congress will almost certainly be in
creased by the election of a successor to
the late Representative Townshend, from
the Nineteenth Illinois district. At the
last election, notwithstanding Mr.. Town
shend's personal popularity and his long
and generally acceptable public service
(which facts made him stronger than his
party in his district, his majority was
considerably reduced. These things
taken in connection with the general sue
cess of the Republican party and its as
cendancy in popular sympathy, are the
strongest auguries of the success of the
party in that district in electing repre-
sentive to succeed the deceased congress
man.

At least two influential London news
papers think the Times makes mistake
in going on after the bottom has dropped
out of its case. Some members of the
Salisbury ministery are said to be of the
same opinion. But the Times folks seem
determined to try to save something
from the wreck, and their leading coun-
sci, Sir Richard Webster, has substantial
reasons for falling in with the views of
his clients rather than trying to bring
those stubborn gentlemen around to the
views of his disappearing colleagues.
The report that the editor Of the Times,
Mr.. Buckle, was dragged into the scrape
against his will is contradicted.

alarm given. II was promptly responded
to by the fire companies and the fire soon
eItinguished. Loss estimated at some $500

The timely discovery was most fortunate,
for the room was well filed with combusti-

dists have injured him 10 call forth such

ment we think Trustee Is wide OF the mark.
We don't believe there Is any ono in this
community who really desires the downfall
Of the Institute. All that 10 wanted Is that
she look to tho proper source, the Metho-
dist church, for support, and not to the
public school fund on which she has no
CLAIM whatever. II anything has created
ill.feeling towards her II Is her failure to do
this. and her ill-eoncealed opposition to the
public school interests. As for us individ-
ually, We have no sort Of grievance toward
the Church or the Institute, We have been
on the most friendly terms with the former
and sent our children to the latter. But Il
does not therefore follow that We should
side with them in their opposition TO the
free school system. To prove that VIC have
no produces In this matter We will add.
that from our boyhood we have been ami
cably associated with Methodists in differ
ent sections Of the Mississippi valley, and
hence, to day feel more at home In Metho-
dist church than any other. We never
found them standing In tho way of the
general progress of the mass Of the people,
nor backward in any laudable reform. We
trnst and believe. that on sober second
thought, we shall find them taking SINH
lar liberal course here. As we showed in q
recent article, there ia no reasonable ground
for rivalry between Ceronal Institute and
the public schools, in San Marcos, but
fine field in prospect for their harmonious
cooperation for the general good.
