BOTTOMS BAD BREAK.

The Greensburg Signal pronounces tho Kiows
county fair held last week. a phenomenal success
in every respect, which means that there IS no
ground for the Calamity wall in that county
Wichita EAGLE.
There was mo politics" in the kiowa
county fair and the Calamity" fellows
assisted as heartily in making it success
as MEN of any other party, hence the re-
mark of the EAGLE is obviously unfair.
A Calamity" man was general superin-
tendent and Republican was chairman
of the fair committee: these and Others
of both parties worked tremendously,
and the great success of the fair is due
the people, regardless of politics. Truth
is always better than deception whether
by insinuatlon or Observation-Disclosures
Signal
We would not accuse our good friend
Bolton of being in sympathy with the
Calamity move in politics, and yet we
are somewhat at a loss to understand on
what other hypothesis to lay the stress
of his comment above quoted. If the
literal (Which we meant is so closely
allied with the sentimental (Which he
seems to prefer to adopt as to warrant
their being taken as one, it is the
county's misfortune, but not the EAGLE S
fault. But we think our jolly, fat
friend is altogether too literal and exac-
ting in his Interpretation.

1t is great thing to be successful in
Arctic adventure. The Philadelphia
papers say that no larger gathering of
Philadelphia's representative men and
women has ever been witnessed in the
Academy of Natural Science than that
which thronged that editice, all eager to
avail themselves of the privilege of
meeting and shaking hands with Lieu
tenant Peary and his wife, who had
shared with him the perils and honors
of his Arctic journey. This is only one
feature of Arctic adventure, however.
Taken altogether Wichita and Kansas
are good enough for us.

The Populists announced grand rally
and public speaking to be held at Garden
Plaine on Friday night. The evening
came and with it fair sized audience.
and, also, two of the best speakers from
this city who are in sympathy with the
movement. The speakers were given a
patient and respectful hearing, but. a
careful consensus of the political COM
plexion of the crowd disclosed the pres
ence of just ten Peoples party voters.
the balance being of the two political
parties, though mainly Republicans.
This shows two things First, the fusion
lists have lost interest IN the campaign
and the movement as political party
has lost its grip. Second, that Repub-
licans are more liberal in their views
and actions than any others: they not
only attend and listen to opposition
speaking but subscribe for and read op-
position publications. No man can form
an intelligent conclusion upon any sub
ject without hearing both sides dis
cussed.

The office of county commissioner is
one of the most important in the gift of
the people. 1t comes nearer home and
has more to do with our home affairs.
The management of the affairs of Sedg-
wick county is great trust and only
well known and upright men should be
given it. In Mr.. d. A. Nickerson the
people of the Third district have such
man. He is an old settler in the county,
is well acquainted with the countys
needs and, wha. is Of more Importance,
bis uprightness and integrity are un-
questioned. He has been eminently
successful in managing his own business,
which is of itself guaranty that he is
capable of managing the countys bust
ness in the same successful. businessIke
manner He is friend of Kansas and
viii, never ma!ign The state he has helped
make great. He should be overwhelm-
ingly elected.

self has ''too much regard for the propri-
cites of his official position" to publicly
declare himself. But the judge ought
not to deprive himself of the highest pre-
rogative of the American citizen. There
are no strings on him, and there is little
doubt that the president would accept
his resignation. Then he would be free
to talk, not only, but to run for presi-
dent on the Populist or Democratic
ticket-if, perchance, either party should
desire him as candidate. The Judge
should not permit the fires of his ambi-
ton to gradually consume him, as they
will unless he break the bonds that bind
him and the seal that is upon his mouth.

Whatever his shortcomings, in the
estimation Of his critiques, Sol Miller is
generous next to fault in dealing with
great economic question, as witness this:

Columbus, and were trying to make

The Origin OF Troy weight.

The smallest measure Of weight in
use, the grain, has its name from
being originally the weight Of grain
Of wheat. A statute passed in Eng
land in 1856 ordained that thirty two
grains OF wheat, taken from the middle
Of the ear or head and we'll dried,
should make p pennyweight, twenty
of which should make an ounce, while
twelve ounces we're to make pound.
The pound. therefore. consisted then OF
1850 grains. Some centuries later
the pennyweight was divided into
tWenty-four grains, which make the
troy pound, as now used, 5,760 grains.
The pennyweight was the exact
weight Of the old silver penny. st.
