THERE appears to be good founda-
ton for the report that Minister Lincoln
will soon resign. He accepted the place
reluctantly. and the death of his son has
made him specially anxious TO return
home and resume the practice Of his pro-
fessiOn. The country will be sorry to see
him retire from a position which he has
filed with success and credit: but at the
same time it will sympathize with the
motives which influence him in the ease.

WE received this week copy of the

should have been pleased to notice in a
brief way the simple request. but We are

No paper can be published without
home patronage: and every man is inter-
ested in keeping up a home paper. If
a railroad or factory is wanted the news
paper is expected to work for it. If a
public meeting is wanted for any pur-
pose the newspaper is called upon for a
free notice. If any of the societies have
a supper or reception of any kind the
newspaper is expected to give the nee
essary notice. The newspapers must
puff the schools and everything else to
advance the interests of the business
men of the place, and then give them a
handsome notice when they pass away.
And yet some of them do nothing to keep
up home paper.-Gladstome (Mich.) *

OKLAHOMA.

Washington, March lO.-Judge Perkins
succeeded in getting the Oklahoma bill
up for consideration in the house late
this afternoon. Considerable debate en-
sued over the section of the bill naming
sites of county seats. The bill provided
that site for the county shall be named
by the governor. Mr.. Hare, of Texas,
moved to amend by naming Ell Reno as
one site. Mr.. Peters. of Kansas, moved
an amendment naming Frisco as the site.
General Hooker, of Mississippi, moved
an amendment allowing the people to
select the sites of the county seats by
ballot. He read to the house letter
from John NJ. Cannon, of Frisco, who
seemed to insinuate that there was a
lob" somewhere in the naming of the
county seats.
Springer and Mansur denied indig-
nantly any such state of things and
Hooker appeased them by saying he
thought Cannon had not intended to
charge the committee on territories with
completely in jobbery. Peters urged the
naming of sites by congress in order to
avoid those bitter neighborhood contests
which attend county seat elections. AZ
ter some ranging the amendment of
Peters, Hare and Hooker were voted
down. and a motion made by Breckin-
ridge (Ky.) was agreed to directing the
secretary of the interior to name the sites
and to select either Kirgfisher or Lisbon
for the fifth county. The amendment
offered by Dolliver was agreed to provi-
ding for the formation of seventh
county in the northwest corner of the
sixth county with seat at Saltwater
An amendment was agreed to authoriz-
ing the citizens of the sixth to change
the seat from Beaver by a popular vote
if they chose.
Morse. of Massachusetts, offered an
amendment prohibiting the sale of
liquors in Oklahoma and made speech
in support of it. Turner. of New York.
also supported it in semi-humorOus
address. taking the ground of shielding
the Indians on neighboring reservations
by prohibition. Pending vote upon this
amendment the house adjourned.

In the interest of the western part of
the state, the Dodge City GLOBE-REPUB-
LICAN is opposed to the calling of a
special session Of the legislature. The
above paper takes just and reasonable
grounds for its opposition and an organ

people in western Kansas TO defeat the

provided there is enough to 60 around
after the larger counties have got all they
want. No one believes that the consti-
tuition would have been thus ravished II
the judges had come from the west half
of the state.
Judge Horton was on the bench at the
time this decision was rendered, and you
can stand over in Missouri aud throw a
stone into his back door. Why should
he not remark to a Gl66e representative
..that the matter should be remedied
without delay

the west should be placed in stat" quo
before any new deals, and she needs only
to await the next appOrtionment TO

AN AGE OF IMPROVEMENT.

The EVENING News, of Kansas City,
although not yet five years old, rec
ognizes that this is an age of i'm
provement. It has just moved into
one of the handsomest newspaper
buildings in the west building
erected expressly for it and combin
ing all the conveniences that time
and experience can suggest or money
procure. In addition a new Potter
perfecting press, with capacity Of
twenty five thousand papers an hour,
has been added to it's mechanical out
fit, enabling it to take front rank
among the established papers of the
country.
1t will be sent you by mail every
day except Sunday, one year for Two
dollars. This is special offer and
is the lowest price that any daily
newspaper has ever been sold for.
While it is cheap i'll price it is in no
sense Of the word cheap in quality.
The Telegraph news is furnished by
the United Press and thoroughly coy
ers the world.
Its short and pithy paragraphs of
events happening in the three great
states of Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska are alone worth more than the
price Of the paper. You can send
your order direct to the EVENING
News, 900 Wyandotte street, Kansas
