A FIGURING MILL.

We have no desire to add te
what the WORLD has said concern.
ing the supreme demand for a flour.
ing mill at Wa-Keeney. Year in and
year out, we have insisted that mill
would increase by at least one-third
the volume Of trade in Wa-Keeney;
that it would save yearly large sums
of time and money expended by our
farmers in going to distant mills in
other counties; that experience has
demonstrated with mathematical
precision that sufficient wheat will
not be grown in this county for the
support Of a mill until after the
mill has been established, and that
the first year following its establish
ment, an abundance of grain will
be grown; that Wa-Keeney, by her
irresolution in the establis hment of
a mill, is virtually building up other
towns and cutting her own throat.
While we have no desire to add
to these facts, no reason occurs for
the retraction Of any of them.

a GREAT RUMPN,S

The Tribune says the Rebn6lica,
would long ago have ceased to exist haG
it not been for the patronage given to il
by Mr.. Hoar. Mr.. Hoar has given this
PAPER less than $50 worth of printing in
the past two years and a quarter. So il
will be seen that the Tribune knows
nothing about the newspaper business
either Wax. REP.
1t is unpleasant to see these two
contemps. thus disagree. 1t occurs
to US, however, that the Rep, when
it thus talks Of the small amount OF
printing which Mr.. Hoar has given
it, does fellow, friendly to it unto
the verge of lunacy,a gross injustice,
If the Rep. man will look through
his vouchers which ought to be on
file in the Office presided over tenn
porarily by this Mr.. Hoar, he will
find that he has done considerably
over fifty dollars worth of such job
work as the said Hoar has taken an
over-oficious part in sending to him.
He is mean "cuss" who goes back
on his maker!

a HATEFUL ACT.

The county attorney of Bollinger
county, Mo-, has had the Memorial
day firing squad arrested on the
charge OF disturbing the peace. Boil
hnger Is In the swamps and miasma
OF southeast Missouri, and an event
OF ordinary Importance occurring
there would be unknown and un-
cared for by the great outside world.
But that county attorney is an ass,
and the Union veterans of Missouri.
the ranking state in the number of
Grand Army members, will do well
to see that their salute-firing-squad
comrades in Bollinger county have
fair play.

nan-progressiye. If, on the other
hand, the paper has numbers Of
sparkling advertisements, contains
well-written local and editorial ar
ticles, and presents the thought that
it is filing want in the line of the
community's development, the read
er abroad is apt to want to visit
that locality.
These statements are great truths.
They are plain enough to strike a
blind man so as to be seen.
The death Of the Gazette will
simply give other Salina papers the
opportunity to make a better show
ing for the city and county.

FOR FORAKER.

On Wednesday the Ohio Reput-
lican convention nominated ]. B.
Foraker for governor. This is his
fourth nomination for this Office,
and means his third consecutive
election. He was defeated the first
time. Ohio seems not to be horri-
fed with the third term idea like
Kansas was in 1882.
That Republican convention also
placed itself on record in favor Of a
service pension. 1t was noble act,
and goes far toward presaging the
the early success of service pension
legislation by congress.

COMING BACK.

It is stated that Colonel Anthony
is about to resume editorial charge
of the Leavenworth Times. This is
welcome news at this office. Since
the colonel left the Times it has
been exceedingly thin-about as
much like the kind Of a newspaper
which he used to make it as the
Republican Of this town is like a
representative country newspaper.
1t is also stated that the colonel
will fight the Prohibition law. This
certainly is a mistake. He has for
several years been one Of its strong
est advocates.
At all events, we want the Times
when the colonel gets back in the
harness.

Il NOBLE WOMAN.

Mrs. J. B. Hathaway, formerly of
Wa-Keeney, but now Of Ness City,
has interested herself so far in the
welfare Of Cora Balm as to snatch
her from a base life, and take her to
Leavenworth to find for her ref
uge in the Home of the Friendless.
The NeDs gives Mrs. Hathaway
credit for her noble work in these
words: 'The conduct of Mrs. Hath
away in this case has been noble
almost heroic. To wrest from such
a life as the young girl was leading,
and which had brought upon her
the scorn and loathing Of the COM
munity in which she wandered, an
outcast, and without place to lay
her head, and to attempt to instill
into her depraved mind the hope of
a better life and the possibility Of re-
form, required no ordinary moral
courage. Mrs. Hathaway succeeded
in doing all this, Notwithstanding
the efforts Of set of low and de-
based beings who sought to keep
the girl down to a life of shame,
and to prevent the brand being
snatched from it's burning. The
humanitarianism, coupled with the
heroism, displayed by this lady
challenges the admiration of all
good people, and We cannot with
stand the impulse to give her the
praise which is her just due. Would
that there were more such women
in the world, who could kindly lift
their fallen sisters from the slime,
instead of spurning them and goad-
ing them to still lower depths of
degradation and depravity.''

TRANSFER OF BUSINESS

The Horace Champion notes the
departure from Stuart, Col, of S. D.
Bollinger, a bright newspaper man
because the people have been di.
vided in interest. This leads the
Champion to remark that when a
set Of business men withdraw their
patronage from their local press OF
continue it only through charity, OF
with an idea of supporting the
printer, they simply say to the
world in tones unmistakable that
they are incapable of business. and
the public is generally not long in
accepting the statement as true, and
transferring their patronage to other
houses, and perhaps towns"

five thousand dollars from the citi
zens of the place.
1t is nothing new for Kansas
newspaper to die. Kansas has fa1
too many newspapers for either hel
own good or that Of the publishers
1t is doubtful whether publishers Of
this state have averaged two years
at work on the papers with which
they at first became connected
The results of this newspaper sur
plus are many weak papers, by
which strangers judge the condition
of their communities; a rivalry
which negatives reason to the ex-
tent OF doing public printing for a
mere song; a contention Of political
factions of the same party which is
nothing short of a curse to many
communities.
One Republican paper is enough
IN any county seat in western Kan
sas. That paper should receive the
liberal support Of all classes, not
only because publisher should be
paid for his work, but to enable him
to issue paper which would reflect
credit upon the county. In this
respect, a newspaper is unlike any
other business enterprise. If the
paper is the mouthpiece of some
pothouse politician, readers from
abroad make up their minds that
the community supporting it are
sleeping on their rights and are

REsUsM1ssIoN IN KANSAS.

1 RES bMiSSiON IN AAacAo:
It is seldom that a Kansas City
paper shows desire or capacity to
understand the guiding impulses OF
! the civilization Of this state OF
Kansas. This is true, not only OF
the Times, but Of the Journal. The
press Of that city has been unable to
surmount the popular idea that
general prosperity and the copious
flow of liquor are inseparable.
But the Star of last Wednesday
looks over into Kansas and draws
word map of the situation, which
we adopt word for word. No pho
tographic instrument ever drew
more truly the features of its sub
ject: SIN endeavoring to spring the
issue of resubmission in Kansas the
esteemed Times shows its accus-
toned ignorance of the drift OF
popular sentiment in that state. Its
phenomenal ignorance of Kansas
affairs was never more clearly re-
vealed than in assuming that, be-
cause Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island voted against prohibition, the
people Of Kansas are ready to take a
like step. There is simply nothing
to Justify such belief, as the Times
might know if it had taken any
pains whatever to inform itself as to
the real state of public opinion in
Kansas upon that question. The
Times sources Of information in
regard to this matter are wholly UNI
trustworthy or else it has wilfully
fslsified the situation. With its
large list Of Kansas exchanges, and
with the testimonials which almost
every newspaper in the state con-
tains touching the popular satisfac-
ton with prohibition. there is no
excuse for the Times being misled
as to the facts in the case; and a
perversion Of the facts
places it in an equally bad light.
The great body Of the voters of
Kansas are entirely satisfied with
prohibition, and if the question of
the amendment were sub
mitted to the people Of to-day it
would be sustained by majority
much larger than that by which it
was adopted. This feeling in favor of
the law is due to variety of causes,
which may be mentioned the
arge farming population in Kansas,
The fact that there are no large
cities in the state, the peculiar tenn
permanent Of the people with zeal
for social and moral reforms, and
with a great consideration for all
questions affecting home life. All
hese conditions the Times has COM
oletely failed to apprehend, and it
las presumed to open up question
n Kansas which is as completely
ettled as anything can be which
las been tested and stamped with
popular approval in that state. The
Times never fails to 60 wrong when
t attempts to interfere with Kansas
lffairs. Its suggestions in behalf of
Kansas excite the resentment of the
'eople Of that state, and they are
Ilways sure to place the seal of con-
lemnation upon any measure which
he Times advocates.
