MORE HYPOCRACY,

Rev. j. d. Bolkin has been heard from
again. If he keeps on he will be as
much of preacher politician as Bernard
Kelly. In an interview in the Topeka
Capital Rey. j. d. Botkin, Esq. ,::presid-
ing elder and editor in the Methodist
church, and late prohibition candidate
for governor, says:
The temperance people of Wichita
are much pleased with the appointment
of an assistant attorney general in Sedg-
wick county, and they are glad that the
attorney general has interested himself
in the enforcement of the prohibitory
law in Wichita"
There is one thing that is more certain
than all that, and that thing is that
eight out of ten of the voters of Wichita
know that Bolkin is either igno-
rant of the situation or that otherwise
he was deliberately and knowingly mis-
representing the facts. 1t is very safe to
say that eight out of ten of the people of
Wichita are temperance people" and
that at least six out of ten would not on
" wipe out the saloon and the joint both.
but would wipe out the manufacture of
at least all spurious hquors;.but it Is
equally true that nine out of ten of all
the people of this city are utterly oppos-
ed to the appointment of an assistant at
torney general. 1t was the most univer-
sally unpopular thing ever done by
any administration in this state. not ex-
cepting tie thrusting of the police COM
mission rule upon the city. We haven't
heard single individual even attempt
to excuse the act. There
was no excuse for it. 1t was the bull
headed, one-idead act of an official who
could and would hear only such men as
Betkin. Outside of the prohibition par
~ itself, whose standing candidate Bot
kin is, and which party cast but the
most insignificant vote at the election
last week, we do not believe a hundred
voters could be found in all Sedgwick
county who are ''much pleased or even
little pleased with kellogg's action in
appointing an assistant attorney general.
If Botkin wasn't misrepresented at the
capital, then he misrepresented the tenn
perance people of Wichita.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

From the Topeka Capital
The board of railroad commissioners
will today hear the arguments between
the Missouri, Kansas q Texas railroad
and the Fort Scott terminal railway as
to the measure of damages to be &C
corded to the former road by reason of
the Missouri Pacific crossing the latter's
track in the city of Fort Scott. Tomor-
row the board will go to Kingman to
hear the complaint of insufficient train
service made against the Denver, Mem
phis & Atlantic railway. AT the same
time they will also hear the complaint of
the city of Kingman that their city is
being Disseminated against in the mat
ter of salt rates. The rate from Hutch
inson is two cents lower than it is from
kingman. This, it is claimed, operates
very injuriousiy against kingman's salt
interests. They want the same rate as
Hutchinson.

AN UNTIMELY FUNERAL.

Attorney General Kellogg has furnished
Coffin for Wichita's resuDmission. EN-

And a Coffin for the attorney general,
also, SO far as the other corpse is con-
cerned, which corpse, by the way, is
liable to render the funeral little lively.
There is another danger from the Kel-
logg coffin; the Republicans with all
their bosses and officials, might accident
ally discover that the wrong party had

trail object of interest at every we'll regu-
lated funeral, there is no sense in getting

The Everest Tragedy.

From the Atchisou Patriot
The citizens of Everest, this county,
are terribly excited over the murder of
Mrs. Henry Bunck, wife of one of the
most prominent and wealthiest farmers
of Brown county, by Frank Zoliedik, an
ignorant Bohemian, who had been work
ing for Bunck, and the suicide of the
murderer. The crime seems to have
been caused by no motive whatever. as
Zoliedik and Mrs. Bunck had never had
any trouble nor had any violence been
attempted. Zoliedik had been drinking
heavily for several days and was per-
haps crazed with liquor. Mrs. Bunck
was but % years old and beautiful and
popular woman. Both died instantly.
Bunck on arriving a few minutes after
ward at the scene was completely crazed,
and jumping on the body of Zoliedik
pounded the face to a jelly.

have been given in the dispatches, has
elected as deep and widespread interest
on account of the prominence of both
parties thereto, as any that has occurred

universal regret at the affair is the wish
that it may end there, and not develop

THE OTHER FELLOWS OK.

From the Kansas City Times.
Our esteemed co-worker in the cause
of Kansas City, Colonel George Martin
of the Kansas City (Kan) Gazette, has a
pretty sense of humor and admirable
nerve. Here is sample of them: 1.-THE
Times this morning gives the cheerful
news that the screws are to be put to the
Wichita joints. That is just as it ought
to be. The joints of Wichita and Leav-
enworth are bore and a nuisance and
should be suppressed" But maybe Col
onel Martin thinks that the Kansas City,
Kan. joints are not bores and nuisances.
We know he did not think so long ago
when they were being pulled forty at
haul and there was danger of the city
losing the revenue which it derived from
them in the way of fines.

The northwestern millers are supposed
to have lost millions of dollars in the big
wheat corner twelve or thirteen months
ago. The chances are, however, that
they have saddled this loss on the
British syndicate which has purchased
their property. At any rate the sum
obtained for the mills is understood to
be much larger than any American
capitalist would be willing to pay, while
the terms of the sale leave the millers in
the management of the MILLS for two or
three years or longer.

TRIAL OF THE BALTIMORE.
She Starts on q Three Days Trip-Om
GERS Aboard.

The large steel government cruiser Balti-
more, the third constructed by the Messrs.
Cramp, and the most formidable Of the new
navy, started down the Schuylkil yesterday
morning for q three days trial trip at sea, for
the purpose of making thorough test Of the
improved machinery and the seagoing quail
ties of the vessel. The present trial is private
one, to detect the defects, if any exist, in the
machinery, so that they can be remedied in
time for the official test which will take place
in few weeks, under the supervision Of naval
officers appointed by the Sc cretary of the
Navy.
Shortly after II o'clock the bow Of the Balti-
more swung out into the stream. The propeller
was set in motion, and the cruiser proceeded
down the river to the Delaware breakwater. the
intention being to put to sea yesterday after
noon. She was under the command of Capt. Jos.
Steel, and among those on board were Charles
and VIM. Cramp, representing the builders;
Capt. W. s. Schley. United States navy, who is
to command the Baltimore after her accept
ance by the governn emit; Lieut.. Seaton

A. f. Fullam. Chief Engineer Abel, who is to
have charge Of the Baltimore's engines, and
her two assistant engineers. Before departing,
the Messrs. Cramp stated that it was their in
tention to make the test as thorough as
possible. She attracted considerable attention
along the river front as she passed down the
stream, and received recognition from steam
crafts by the blowing of whistles as she glided
gracefully through the water.
