THE TYPE SETTER.

The papers say that Ex-Governor Ross,
of New Mexico, is setting type in Santa
Fe. The governor is a Kansan. He
came to Kansas typesetter, and be-
fore leaving his place in Wisconsin for
Kansas in 1855 or 1856 the compositors
of the Office presented him with fine
gun. He set type in Topeka where he
owned paper. He was major in the
army, came out poor and went on to the
Lawrence Tribune. His next expert
ence was as United States senator from
Kansas. Fortune failed him again, and
he went back to type setting on paper
named after himself "Ross' Paper"
Cleveland made him governor Of New
Mexico, and we met him a year ago in
his palace, the same Ed. Ross. And
now he is back to type-setting once
more. Up and down. away down and
away up, series upon series, have made
our quiet, honest, unostentatious friends
life. and we can only hope that the next
upward turn may not only come soon,
but hold and sustain him to the end.

APoLOGIzING FOR THE TIMES.

The Kansas City Journal and the
Kansas City Star are apologizing for the
course of the Times. That's their privi-
lege but not their prerogative. Kansas
City was not built on apologies, nor did
she find her fame by crawling into an
excuse and pulling the hole in after her
Upon the other hand she has been built
upon the spirit evinced by the Times.
Her people claimed the world from the
start and then proceeded to encompass
the claim. That has been Wichita g
style, also, and Wichita has proved the
only possible rival to which Kansas City
has ever paid the least attention. If
Wichita was ever in the soup nobody
knew it from reading the EAGLE. Kan
sas City has been in the consomme pre-
viously more than once, but so long as
nose or tail remained in sight the Times
did not fail to pipe the fact. We don't
know how it will be with our ambitious
neighbor this year of enormous crops,
bat long before frost Wichita will be
roosting on the highest rim of the
tureen. and the EAGLE has reasons for
believing that her commercial pattern at
the mouth of the Kaw will somehow re-
main in sight.
