SHREWD WICHITA.

Hon. Marsh Murdoch, in the Wiehita
EAGLE. fiatly contradict'sS the Democrat s
statement that the ''CiSy of the Plains"
had taken a four-page illustrated sup
plement in Harper's Weekly at cost of
s., 900. rr
declares, did the article in question cost
the city OF Wichita" Then, If it did not
cost the city penny, certain live bush
ness men and capitalists in that aspiring
city must have opened their pecketboeks
and contributed thousands of dollars to
secure the valuable publication in said
widely circulated journal.
In the latter case the Peerless City"
reaps the benefit OF. the enterprise and pub
lie spirit of individuals. So again we say,
with slight modification 's'Shrewd citi-
zens of Wichita. Topeka Democrat.
Our friend seems to fail in catching
on. Harper,s Weekly purports to be a
journal of civilization presumably of
and phenomenal phases. In glancing
over the continent for an example of the
highest type and for those Characters
tic developments which come of the
more advanced spirit of American enter
prise, HarpeTS found Wichita to be the
most unique and promising, and merely
in the interest Of better education and
higher civilization they went to the
expense o. giving their conclusions to
their readers accompanying the article
with illustrations, principally of our
educational institutions. The write
up did not cost Wichita cent, nor her
individual citizens a cent. Our news
dealers, of course, after the paper made
It's appearance, telegraphed their orders
for thousands of copies. and the board
of trade also ordered five copies for each
member, but Harpers didn't know that a
single extra copy would be ordered.

If not alarm. Nothing could occur,

OF place to say in this connection that
the public are getting sorely tired at this
continual strife between railroads and
their employees, and it is possible that
the idea of government control of rail
roads, much as such a thing is de-
precated now, might be accepted as a
dernier resort, unless there is a let up
to this ceaseless wrangling. Parties

great and fast growing profits. The net

steadily increased each fiscal year until
Tor 1861 it reached $50, 900, 600, and

In concluding brief, semi geographic
sketch of Frank Will.eson, the fellow
who has recently gained some notoriety
by writing letters east denouncing Kan
sas, the Newton Republican has this to
say of him: He has of late been living
in, and abusing Kansas, including in his
sketches a very picturesque account of
the Salina boom. Mr.. Wiikeson is no
money lender He is more likely to be
borrower, since he is a hearty blade"
with social tendency and fine voice
for drinks. He is merely denuncia-
tory writer, who prefers to abuse what
ever he writes about. He is, withal,
master of English and, rs a matter of
literary enjoyment we prefer to read his
lies to the truth'as told by many other
people. There is where the harm lies
in his writings. Judas Iscariot was per-
haps the most plausible. ready-witted of
the twelve apostles, but that only ena-
bled him the more successfully to. ac-
complish the betrayal OF his Master, from
a human standpoint, and secure the
thirty pieces of silver for his infany.
THERE'S this difference between the two
notables mentioned. however: When
Judas came to realize the enermity of
his crime he went out ana hanged him.

a NOTED SOUTHERN LEADER.

The expressions of patriotism con-
tanned in the letter written by General
Longstreet of Georgia to the chairman
of the citizens meeting at Chattanooga,
on the occasion of the celebration of the
election of Fl. G. Evans to the tifty-first
congress, coming from such source are
in striking contrast with the almost
universal sentiment expressed by the
representative men of the south touch
ing the political and material situation
of that section and outlook for the fu-
ture. AS long as the war lasted nobody
anywhere doubted Longstreet's loyalty
to the south. He and his seemingly in
vincible corps were the strong right arm
to Lee from Yorktown toAppomattox.
and his memorable swing from Virginia
to north Georgia saved Bragg from over
whelming defeat at Clickamaugua.

Edward atkinson, in an article recently
published in the Forum, shows that, as
rule, the hours of labor have been re-
duced within the past half century. In
factory labor ten hours have become Gus

ing later than it used to be. The stati-
clan might have pursued the subject
further and stated with equal truth and
force that there has been, during the pc
riod named, Il corresponding increase in
the pay of employees in all the lines of
industry mentioned. That ali this is the
direct result of the protective policy
adopted by the government thirty years
ago there is no question, whatever the
theories and deniais of the opponents of
that policy. And whileit is pleasant to
thus note the gradual yet continued inn
provement Of the condition of the labor
ing people of our country, it is also proper
to place the credit for such betterment
where it belongs, to the great party OF
the. people, the Republican.
