Hoisingtou.s Election.

Monday the voters of Hoisington
elected new city officers. There were
two tickets in the field, one headed:
"Citizens' Progressive Sidewalk
Ticket" ard the other: "Order and
Improvement Ticket" The candidates
on the sidewalk ticket were: For Mayor,
w. F. Peck; Council, r. P. Typer,
John Johnston, Sol Degen, D. w.
Healey, and D. M. Southwick; Police
Judge, R. Weir. Order ticket
Mayor, H. Grover; Council, Ed.
Heath, o. P. Putnam,W. G. Lewis, R.
L. Harvey, and A. M. McCauley;
Police Judge, Hugo Carlander. The
citizens ticket was elected throughout
by good majorities, and a grand jubilee
was enjoyed by the friends of the sue
cessful ticket, bonfire being lit, drums
and horns beat and footed, and rollicK-
ing time generally enjoyed. 1t was
told us that the members of the ladies
aid society held prayer meeting on cleo
ton day and prayed for the defeat Of
the sidewalk ticket, which they called
the whisky ticket. 1t would appear
that while the ladies prayed the bust
ness men voted.
Hoisington certainly needs sidewalks
bad enough. and if that was the issue
the voters did well to bring about the
result attained. Hoisington has many
enterprising business men, and is boune
to keep up with her neighboring towns
IN matters of public enterprise and i'm
provement.

Our Answer.
proveunent.

The Hutchinson News asks the To-
peka Capital what republicanism in
Kansas consists OFF" Lest the Capital
might disdain to reply to such trivial
~ sarcastic question, the Champion
would volunteer an answer. 1t depends
altogether upon the standpoint you c.
cupy in viewing this question, or what
standard of definition you adopt. If
you look at it from the low level where
still huddle the shivering remnant of
the "old crowd" one answer might be
given, or if you attempt a reply from
the standard of the self constituted
party custodians, the close communion
and hide-bound martinets, another
would be in order.
According to such uniqe opponents of
republicanism as Maj. Joe Hudson, re
publicanism in Kansas" consists of an
inflexible adherance to worn out party
dogmas and methods; of an uncompro.
missing fealty to dead issues; of the ex-
altation and advocacy of "reminiscences
personal and doctrinal; of the unchal-
lenged dominance of a handful of men
who assumed, way back in the Kansas
territorial days, to pre-empt the state
politically, and mortgage it for all time
to an exceedingly narrow partisan con
troll, making the consideration mere
matter of perpetual Office holding by
this gang, their heirs and assigns

CITY ELECTION.

Elsewhere will be found the table
showing the result of the city election
held in Great Bend on the 18th. From
it you will learn that the straight repub-
lican ticket was elected from top to bot
tom, with the exception that one poor,
lone democrat was elected to the school
board in the first ward.
The result is not much Of surprise
to most people, as there was no organ
lied opposition to the straight republic
can ticket. The citizens convention
being held on Saturday, the 4th, there
was no time to discuss the merits of
the candidates thereon nominated. No
effort was made by the opposition to
the winning ticket to get voters regis
tered, and on election day no effort was
made even to get out the full register
ed support of the citizens ticket. On
the other hand the republicans were
thoroughly organized and began work
for the success OF their ticket weeks
ago, and kept it up until the polls
were closed.
Taking all things into consideration,
the winners have nothing big to brag
on in political way. AS to the men
elected, they are all good men, and we
hope will make efficient officers, and
work for the good of the entire city.
There were some peculiar breaks
made on both sides, and charges made
against the citizens ticket that were
unfair, unmanly and devoid of christian
sentiment; but individuals who made
such charges will eventually suffer for
the offense.

The South Bend brass band came
into town Monday and voluntarily
played a few pieces in front of the
opera house before the commencement
of the G. A. r. proceedings. They
did this because Of their good feelings
to the old soldiers. 1t seems, however,
that some Of the Sons of Veterans had
a misunderstanding over the owner
ship of the drums IN the possession OF
the band. Quite wrangle occurred,
caused PRINCIPALLY by the abusive
tongue Of one of the S. of VS., who
wanted to mop the earth with the
South Bend "hayseeds," but was not
so far under the ''inhuence" as to
attempt the hopping process. When
the trouble was finally settled, the band
played on the streets for some time.
The boys make very good music for
the time they have been in practice.

best, but hold the present fatal a.
ter of the past" Their death rates
from two to three times as great q
those Of the better class of popuIatiof
-One-fourth Of their 81 .kness is treate
by charities, and One-third of those
die among them are buried at pablfo
expense. The districts in which they.
live require a large proportion of the
work Of city officials, inspections, re-
mOval of nuiSanCes, police, the courts
etc. and, on the other hand, they con-.
tribute but little to municipal or other
taxation. All this is well known, but
we have not yet arrived at the stage OF
applying efficient and systematic pre-
v%entiOn, which is perfectly possible,
and are still pottering with the so-called
remedies which are of little use. In.
these districts the deaths usually out
number the births, 50 that if it were
not for a continued stream of new re-
cruits this population would diminish.
How can accession be prevented? One
way is to get rid of and prevent addi-
tions to the kind of dwellings which
these people seek. Do you say that
they must live somewhere, and that
there must be such places for such peo-
pie! [ do not think so; it is not neces-
sary that any city should allow the
existence of such houses within it's
limits, and if their destruction forces
some persons into almshOuses and
drives others away, it will be cheapest
and best in the end.
