People who cherished the delusive
idea that the presidential election waa
al over will be interested to learn that
on next Monday the presadential elect
ors will meet and ballat for president.
Gen. Harrison Of Indianapolis is thought
TO be the favorite candidate, and the
dark horse is not thought to stand
much show in this race.
Dodge City times., 1889-01-10
And now in January, in the year OF

And now in January, in the year OF
our Lord, 1889, the Dodge City TINES
has more readers and larger c'rcula-
taon than it ever had before. 1t reacn-
es, and is read by more people tnan
any other two papers published in Ford
county. We do not decry the merit
of other local papers. Theirs is not
less, but that of the TINES is greater.
The great popularity and unpara-
lIeled success of the TINES have not
come to be as matter Of course. They
are the result of arduous labor long
sustained; of an earnest, untiring ef-
fort to make the TINES all that the
leading paper in a city like Dodge
City shoulc be. Several distinguishing
features have long characterized the
management Of this paper. Among
them may be noticed its liberality 1t
gives all sides an equal and fair hear
ing. 1t is open to all proper discus
sion on questions of moment.
Another feature is tn. freshness and
amount of news given in each issue OF
the TINES. No effort is spared to
gather and select the most interesting
local news, and we trust we can say
without vanity that it is presented in
an attractive manner.
Again, it is the medium Of express
sion of the best thoug hts Of the county.
Professional men, college professors
and other educators, clergymen and lit
erary people, merchants, railroad pro-
jectors and the initiative movers in ev-
cry local enterprise speak through the
columns of the TINES. Again, this
paper is the constant advocate Of ev-
erything that can advantage our fair
city. Iii is the champion Of the move
ment to secure for Dodge City the SOL
diers' home; to speed the building Of
the Omaha, Dodge City & Southern
railway; to develope without delay our
coal mines, and to foster every interest
Of the city anl county. No other pa
per has been so potential to secure i'm
migration to Ford county, and to prop
erly present to the people of other
states the advantages Of this section.
Now we desire to say to our gentle
readers that the best features Of the
TINES will be retained and that new
ones will be added. 1t is our purpose
to make the Dodge City TINES a bet
ter paper than it has yet been-to make
it the best newspaper in western Kan
sas. Our presses and material are new;
only experienced workmen are en-
ployed on the paper, and none can sur
pass us in the quality Of our work,
whether press or job work. The price
of the paper continues at one dollar
per year-lower by one-third than any
other paper in the county.
Thanking our friends and patrons for
their hearty support in the past, we re-
spectfully solicit your favor in the fu-
ture, and promise to make each sue
cessive issue of the TINES a stronger
expression Of our gratitude.

The Maritime Conference, whose sessions
have begun in Washington, will be called
upon to discuss and settle some very impor.
tant questions. The laws of the sea are a
good many of them antiquated and i'll adapt
ed to the present condition of things. One
of the most important problems will be the
establishment of rules to prevent collisions
at sea. The present rules are inadequate to
the requirements of the case, and need re-
vision and extension. Another question of
great deal Of importance relates to the
removal from the highways of commerce of
derelict vessels which constitute a very
serious danger to navigation. The presence
of distinguished delegates thoroughly famil-
lar with the subjects to be discussed, and the
absence of all questions that can give rise to
any jealousy among them ought to ensure an
able and harmonious Congress which will be
fruitfulin good results to all the nations who
have interests upon the sea.

The Boston papers report the Atchison
plan of reorganization as "boeming," but
some of them report disposition on the
part of the first mortgage bondholders to
hang back, and hints are thrown out, too,
that the land grant bondholders are threat
ening to hold the trustees of their mortgage
responsible for the disappearance of their
security. The Transcript says, however.
that the refusal of the first mortgage bond
holders will not be allowed to defeat the
scheme. IF worst comes to worst" says
tho Transcript, ''the recalcltrant bonds can
be dealt with independently; that is, their
present rates of interest can be maintained
and the bonds paid off at maturity, as the
plan will give the company enough of a
margin to allow for that, but it does not
appear that this will be necessary. Ger
tainly it is not to the best interests of the

the plan, were 1t possible for them to do so

AS is well known, after the passage of the
valued policy" law by the legislature of
New Hampshire all the foreign insurance
companies withdrew from the State and re-
fused to take risks in them. a. short time
ago the Etna company announced its inten-
ton to go back. Since then efforts have
been made by the other companies TO induce
the Etna to reconsider its decision, but
without avail. Instead of following the
-Etna to the full extent, however, as it was
supposed they would, the other companies
have decided to issue policies on New Hamr-
shire property where the insured is willing
to accept the Massachusetts form of policy
that is to say, where he is willing to waive
the claim he would have under the valued
policy law. The companies cannot of course
establish agencies in New Hampshire, for
that would inevitably subject them to tho
New Hampshire law, but they can and will
write policies on New Hampshire property
under the laws of Massachusetts. This is
to some extent retreat from their first posi-
ton, but 1t does not yield the principle they
professed to be contending for.
