r. II. SUGHRUE FOR COMMIS-
SlONER.

Mr.. p. II. Sughrue is the People :
nominee in the Bird district, which iu
cludes all those precincts in the ives,
half Of the county, except the 4 wards
of Dodge City. Itis a w"ll-known fact
in this city that the old ring wonid
rather see any man in the dis,ric: cam
missioner than p. H. Sughrue. He
has, for years, been one Of their most
bitter enemies, and his nomination has
set these schemers to work to devise 4
plan whereby he may be defeated, and
A. J. Anthony elected. As long Us
the district remained the same as in
former years this seemed an easy thing
to accomplish for the 3 wards in Dodge
City could be depended upon to give au
overwhelming majority lOr the ring can
didate. But the board of commission
ers have re dlstricted the county with
the result that the old ring has been
thrown into panic. They see their
chances for electing one of their nun
Der rapidly fading from sight, and what
is worse, one of their bitterest foes nom
mated on the opposition ticket.
P. II. Sughrue has we'll and faithful
ly served the city as member of the
council, and if elected will serve the
people Of the 3rd district in a like man
ner. Upright, fearless in his advocacy
of right, and bitter foe to all that is
wrong, he is a man who will undoubted
ly serve the people if elected and not
the old ring.
A vote for P. II. Sughrue is vote
against this old ring; vote for A. j.
Anthony is a vote for the continuance
of ring power. Which shall it be?

FOR nearly four years the combined
wisdom of the Catholic prelates at
Rome has been engaged in discussing
the validity of a marriage ceremony
performed by q Methodist minister be-
tween members of the Catholic church.
The case arose in Connecticut, and ON
appeal the authorities of the ecclesias-
tical tribunal at Rome declared the
marriage valid. OF course its legal
validity could not be questioned, as the
laws Of Connecticut are supreme, but
the appellant had religious scruples and
SO at last was tokl that he had no case.
This is right and shows that eccles Ias-
ticism progresses with the age.

A JOINT DEBATE.

The discussion between Col. Hurd,
republican. and B. F. Milton, Peoples
party, took place, or, rather. partly
took place at the opera house on Thurs
day evening In the midst Of Col.
Hurd's speech, his son. Tracy. came in
to the hall in an excited manner. and
announced to the speaker that his (Col
Hufd's) wife had suddenly became dan
gerously i'll. Col. Hurd Immediately
left the hall. Mr.. Milton then arose
and, after announcing to the audience
the cause of the sudden departure of
his opponent. was unwilling to continue
the discussion under the circumstances.
but. upon being asked to go on BY those
present, did so, and so well and ably
did he support the principles of the
third party on this question that the
next day found many weak kneed repub-
licans heretofore in the third party
ranks 1t is claimed by many that Col.
Hurd is one of the ablest exponents of
finance from the republican standpoint
in this state, and it was openly boasted
of by certain republicans that he would
worst seriously in such a contest b. +.
Milton. During his speech one of the
most Jealous republicans asked Mr..
Milton if he proposed, by the sub treas
ury plan, to form a pool on the food
supply. The reply to this question by
the speaker was little look ed for by the
questiOner UT republicans aud the
, rounds of applause from both republi-
cans and Peoples men which greeted it
seemed to effectually silence anything
further in the line of questions. Space
will not permit Of very extended no
tice. such as we shoni, ike N give, and
both speakers were at 4 di>aivautsge
| hv the unloos ed fer even: which made
it necessary far Col Hurd IT, re absent
large portion of the time. We ear
nestly wish that these two able repre-
sentatives of two political parties
could come together again. There was
no petty pickering back and forth, but
an honest bright and intelligent discus
sion of the financial question on both
sides, and We only regret that every cit
izen Of Ford county was not present to
hear it, for could they. have done SO.
they would have left the house with 4
better knowledge of this great question,
than they have ever heretofore bad.
So far as The Times ia concerned per-
sonally, we would like to have these
two discuss the question again, even if
it can be arranged before election, for
We believe that fair, honest and intel
ligent discussion will do more than any
thing else to educate the people up to
a point where they are able to intelli
gently and clearly cast a ballot on this
most momentuous question.

Fred Gardner placed thereon, it was
done SC promptly, that Mac has not as

that he is no longer a candidate, and

WHEN RINGS FALL OUT.

During the past month Bro. Shinn
has published column after column rel
ative to what he styles the Cox Dynas-
ty, or in other words the ring. 1n
these columns he has shown that there
does exist to day few men in this city
who have been enabled to nominate and
elect certain candidates, and to use
these men after election to further any
jobs or schemes which this ring desired
earned out. 1t is no secret to many
that at one time W. c. Shinn vas one
of the foremost Of ring men. You ask
why this sudden change, why the publ
cation of columns of matter devoted to
an expose of a clique to which he has
claimed membership?
We had expected that in his own
good time Bro. ShiEn would deign to
enlighten the public on these questions,
but as his last issue before the final con-
test gives no light en- the subject, We
think it just and proper that The Times
should do so.
W. Z. Shinn is undoubtedly one Of
the heaviest taxpayers in Ford county.
Dep ositing hundreds of dollars annual
ly in the treasury Of this county, it f.
nally dawned upon him, after sober and
long continued thought. for Bro. Shinn
never acts hastily or upon impulse, that
it Was one thing to deposit thousand
dollars or so in the vaults for taxes,
but that 1t was entirely and decidedly
another thing to stand by and see them
paid out to meet the extrsvagant de-
mands on the county caused BY ring
rule. If there is one question in the
world on which Bro. Shina acts quick
Iy, decisively and correctly it is the
question Of economy, and after paying
his taxes on the one hand and receiving
his benefits as ring man on the other,
he struck a balance large, over
whelmiDg balance against the ring. 1t
didn t require an excessive Use Of the
brain, or cause any sleepless nights of
thought for Bro. Shinn to discover that
for every benefit be received as mem
bsr Of the ring, he was compelled to pay
double the amount in increased taxes.
With these facts staring him 10 the
face, 1t is little wonder that some six or
eight mon.hs ago he purchased the
Globe Repuolican, for the express pur-
pose Of farming it loose upou aud max
ing an expose OF the old Dodge ring
1t was even rumored at the time of his
purchase Of the Globe that he would
support the new reform patty in this
county, but IT Bro. Shinn has himself
deserted the old ring. he fasn left airy
Of its tricks behind him, and while ap-
parently supporting, Ia au i.uiaerent
way, the republican ticket 10 or,ler that
he s,ay srill be in the councils of the
party, he viii uniouhtediy rejoice Sc
cretly at the success Of the Feosle' 5
party. No sord has as yet been utter

Shinn, but on the contrary ne has on

A Place for Study.

Nowhere can the effect of light and
shade, climate and atmospheric pres
sure be studied to better advantage
than in the great canyons of the west.
The Grand Canyon Of the Colorado is
about fifteen miles wide at the top and
six thousand feet deep. 1t is intersected
by gulches and side canyons OF gigantic
dimensions. 1t has lodges, terraces and
mesas, barren crags and grassy slopes,
lofty mountains and deep valleys, cool
hillsides clad in forests of balsam frs,
and hot bottoms filed with subtropical
thickets. 1t has arid stretches of sand
bearing q scattered growth of cactus
and yucca, and marshes and springs
that never become dry end are hidden
BY the verdure Of a multitude of plants
requiring moisture laden atmos-
phere for their existence. Its an
imal life is rs sharply varied and
as strongly contras*ed In descend
ing from the plateau level to the
bottom of the canyon q succession OF
temperature zones is encountered equiv
alent to those stretching from the CO.
niferous forests of northern Canada to
the cactus plains Of Mexico. These
zones result from the combined effect
Of altitude and slope exposure. the
effects of the latter being here mani
tested in an unusual degree. The
complex and interacting effects Of radi-
alton and refraction, of aridity and
humidity, of marked differences of tenn
perature at places of equal altitude on
opposite sides of the canyon, of every
possible angle of slope exposure, of ex
posure to and protection from wind and
storms, produce diversity Of climatic
conditions the effect OF which on the
vegetable and animal life in the canyon
has been to bring into close proximity
species characteristic of widely separ-
ated regions, and to crowd the several
life zones into narrow parallel bands
along the sides of the canyon-bands
which expand and contract il conform
