nothing IS too magnificent. If in a
thousand years we have failed you may
then revile us. At present learn to re-
spect US. Our city needs not be
discouraged in any matters. A
new railroad is pushing on towards
US through the ripened country
-one broad sheet of mellow gold. A
new depot which shall please our eyes
has started up amongst US. Pleasant
breezes come from Texas and the gurgles
of the deep water harbor are more and
more distinctly audible, Our portals
open and reopen; hundreds come in daily
and hundreds leave us to spread the tale
of our onward march. Each can do his
best: we shall be glorious in great things
through a strong attendance to little

of Wichita is builder of the city, and
city depends on the unison and good
spirit of her children. Onward then!
The flag Of Wichita, the flag we carry to
the highest fame-capped mountains, the
flag Of general prosperity, success and
happiness flows now and forever in the

is a strong indication that the
intention of the present Republican ad-
is to create political
machine out of the police force.
OF course it is already understood that
no part OF the Democratic party believes
for an instant that either Mr.. Knox or
Mr.. Collins are representative Demo
Gratis. The one is an acknowledged Ameri-
can party man, and the other
has proved himself no Democrat
by accepting the position to which he
was appointed, under the circumstances,
by Repu blican Council.
All things being equal, the recognition
of the Democratic party on all commits
sions should be imperative, but that is
not policy to the present administration
in this city it may be policy for them to
place on the Police Commission a man
like Collins, who can boast openly that
he has been promised "anything he
wants, outside of the Police Office, on the
force" but they will find that when they
placed themselves on record as virtual
violators of the charter they helped to
create. they lost ground politically by
