FOOLISH ELNCIES.

The Salina Republican and some
other papers are heaping abuse upon
James F. Legate and j. R. Burton.
These men are charged with con-
suming the time Of the house in
useless discussion. These papers do
not know what they are talking
about. Leadership in legislative
bodies is indispensable. To arraign
these gentlemen for leading out is
to cast a reflection upon the capacity
of the house as whole for permit
ting them to do so. The fact is
exactly the contrary. Ii Legate
and Burton were not qualified for
leadership, they would be hooted
down, and others would take their
place,

County Printing.


Hays City Sentinel, "a.
Trego county is down to bed rock il
economy. The commissioners determined
to give this years county printing to the
lowest and best bidder. Cain, OF the
Tribune, offered to do the printing fo1
70 per cent. of the legal rates. The Re
t.6lsoas ohsred to do the work without
charge or compensation. The World
offered to do all the printing of this year
without cost to the county, and give q
premium of foe cents, or x cents to each
commissioner. The World carried of
the bonanza.
In 1887 our county printing cost Ellis
county 81, 200, besides the lasting disgrace
of heap of "boodlement." Now Trego
county gets the county printing done
for whole year free, five cents received
and no DOODLE The World has held
the county printing since the organize

A FALSE ACCUSATION.

Western Kansas farmers are the poor
est farmers on earth. They lend every
energy to accumulate without cultivating
what they have. 1t is better to have forty
acres well titled than forty sections lying
to waste. Most people do not believe
this. It is true. none the less.JSalsa
Republican.
The statement with which the
Republicans starts out is hardly fair.
It would be nearer the truth to say
that there are no western Kansas
farmers. All our farmers are from
points east of this. If their farming
is faulty, it is because they seek to
pursue here methods which they
have brought from their former
homes.
The criticism which our contem-
porary pitches at our western
farmers is too true, but the same
mistakes have been made in every
section Of the United States.

HERE IT IS.

Will our old and always accommoda.
ting friend Tilton, of the Wa-Keeney
World, please set up the name of his
town In lower case, once, so that we
can determine whether it is all one word
or bifurcated arrangement that has use
for two caps?-[B eloit Courier.
Certainly = wakeeney. This is
done merely for accommodation,
understand.
As to the capital w and the CAPT.
tai K in Wa-Keeney. we will ex.
plain. This is not an Indian name
as seemed to be believed in the
Beloit neighborhood. 1t come,
from the names of two pure eau
casians who came here from Chicago,
and founded this city. The names
of these founders were Warren and
Keerey. The World would refuse
to accommodate anybody by using
lower-case W in beginning the
name of Wa-Keeney, because, as
will be apparent, it is a doubly
proper name. 1t pains us to think
of using a lower-case k, because
people outside Of the Beloit neigh
borhood might believe that one man
started this city, and his name was
Wakeeney. That capital K may be
doomed to destruction, though. Its
fate may fairly be said to constitute
the pathological puzzle of the buff
falo-grass period.

WILSON'S WANDERINGS
This e the Fellow Who Claims to
Have the
Sinch on the Appointment as Kan
cas- Forestry Commissioner.

r. D. Hamilton IN wallace Herald, Jan. II.
In last weeks issue OF the Register,
Wilson makes the statement that I had
taken exceptions, and used strong Ian
euAge against him, because he had men
toned the bank failure the week before.
I took exceptions to the article he re-
ferred to because he stated, that at the
time the assignment was made, and while
I was present, certain creditors, Wing,
Outcalt and Dilworth, we're present and
obtained security. This, if true, would
have been fraud upon other creditors.
Wilson knew this statement was false
when he made it, and knowing that he
made it for the purpose OF creating a
prejudice against me in the minds of the
creditors and to be used against me in
the future, I denounced him in what he
terms strong language" Wilson's
states that when he charged fraud upon
me he was only mentioning the bank
failure" Is Wilson SO corrupt that he
thinks it strange one should take excep-
tons to an article charging him with
fraud? He seems to think that to accuse
one Of embezzling the peoples money, is
using strong language. He also COM
plains that after lapse Of two weeks no
inventory had been made, and to use his
language, ''there must be screw loose"
The statute allows 80 days, and the in
ventory was made in 10 days. do not
suppose he would be satisfied unless he
was elected the permanent assignee or
one is obtained who will give him the
printing. Wilson always imagines there
is something wrong: he is built that way
himself, and could not think otherwise.
While treasurer of the TOWNSHIP he
embezzled nearly 5000 of the peoples
money, and while police judge he unlaw-
fully collected fines and kept the same
until threatened with prosecution by the
city council. In fact he looks upon and
has treated every public trust as private
steal, until the people refuse to trust him
with anything.
Dishonest and morally corrupt, he has
become a social outcast in the community
in which be lives, and he has SO prosti-
tuted the press as scavenger OF scandal
and the author of slander that he has lost
nearly all patronage, and to-day he is
seeking some place to hide himself away
from those who know him, but it will dc
no good. he has cultivated so many
mean traits OF disorder, and for so many
years, that his carcass has become the
embodiment OF meanness and cussedness.
II he could escape from himself there
would be some hope. This is the true
character of the man who is newspaper
editor, and for sinister purposes rushes
into print and charges me with con-
senting to the preparation of fraud.
If the charges make against him are
false he ought to prosecute me criminally,
and I promise the old reprobate, how
ever, that will prove the truthfulness of
the charge.

ArteSian Wells.
Capital Commonwealth, n.

One of the measures of direct
benefit to western Kansas is house
bill No. 10, by Mr.. Street. The
bill provides for the boring Of four
prospect wells in the western part Of
the state of a depth of {, 900 feet for
the purpose Of discovering coal, gas,
salt, artesian water or other valuable
substances. The friends of this
measure claim that it would do
much to settle the question as to
what underlies the surface of the
earth in that locality, and it is at
the same time practical and prac-
ticable geological survey. and is
urged with considerable show of
justice from the fact that this meas
ure is asked BY section of the state
that has never had any assistance in
the way Of appropriations to aid in
its development.
Should this experiment prove sue
cessful, it is claimed that it would
also prove advantageous to Ill
the state. as that which goes to de-
velop the west Is Of greater advan-
tage to all the state than that which
would aid the eastern part Of Kan
sas. The bill is now in the COM
mittee on state affairs, where it will
receive careful consideration, and is
being urged By many Of the western
members and delegates. There Il.

woul1 seem Shat some such prospect

would be Of material advantage
in developing the rich mineral de-
posts which undoubtedly underly
the surface in that portion of the
state.
