near Chanute in '67. He has always
been a thoroughly honest man and
a devout christian.
For many years he preached the gos

He was successful in financial affairs
and died possessed Of worldly COM

He has several brothers and leaves

The state teachers association
meeting at Topeka, last week was a
big affair. About thousand teach
ers were present and the addresses
and papers presented were sound
and wholesome and betokened an
earnest effort on the part of our ed
ucators to look forward and upward.
We are sorry more of our city and
county teachers could not have avail
ed themselves of the benefits to be
derived from these meetings. Prob
ably when school boards learn that
it pays to emyloy an earnest, wide
awake teacher even at an advanced
salary, our teachers will be able to
avail themselves of these opportun-
tiles of self improvement.

bound to revive it and the public
must stand it.
We always felt that GeneralMiles
went off half cooked IN his assertions
about the beef and made assertions
as positive facts that were only un-
substantiated rumors.
But why .Alger wants to agitate
this matter again we fail to see. II
he wants still little notoriety, he
had better pose as presidential
candidate and keep his name before
the people in that way than by try
ing to stir up anew the old embalm-
ed beef scandal.
We don't believe the people wan
to hear any more about it.
Our candid opinion Is, that this
man Alger has outlived his public
usefulness and that the army service
would be greatly improved by ths
retirement of Gen. Miles.

of its own. We believe the real
facts will be got at better by the
Congressional committee than by the
Military. 1t seems that we should
have reached stage of civilization
by this time that would not allow
these kid gloved young gentleman to
yrannize over their younger associ-
ates in the mannerin which they do,
and subject them to such indignities
to say nothing about danger to life
and health. Why should a fourth
class man be compelled to do druid
gerry and degrading work for the
higher class man? Or why should
young man inst entering the acad-
emy be compelled to do all the fool
ish and humiliating things that are
Imposed upon him by the higher
class men? Are all these humiliat,
ing tasks and impositions necessary
to prove the manhood and grit oi
the young military student? We
think not, and if the military au
thorities at West Point can't stop
it, it is time for congress to take q
hand.

OUR GAS,

There has been considerable klcl
during the recent cold spell about moi
getting enough gas.
There is something wrong in the
management somewhere.
We all know there are two or three
wells, any one OF which would furnish
all the gas the city could use, and yet
with several of chem coupled on, we
do not get enough.
We are OF the opinion that the time
has about come for the city to vote
bonds aud ray OF the Standard Oil
people, and take complete charge Of
the plant. AS long as it is tangled up
with double ownership il is difficult
tc manage affairs just as they should
be managed.

A CRANK.

That is the first thought that come!
into the head of most people, wher
they read the account of such es
capades as that of Mrs. Nation in
going into saloon in Wichita ant
smashing the bar fixtures.
We do not approve of the whiskey
traffic and never have. Neither dc
we believe woman is justified in
hiding behind her skirts and do
ing an unlawful deed that would bring
the direst vengeance down on the
head of man.
If the ladies of the w. C. T. u.
are not satisfied with the liquor traf-
fc, there arelegal processes that are
sufficient to stop it, if enforced.
We believe the prohibitory law
should be repealed or else enforced
better than it is. If we are going to
teach our children disrespect of law,
'twould be better to have no law.
1t may be that Mrs. Nation is
slightly unbalanced or it may be that
she has figured that by making a
bold strike she may stir up such a
furor that the temperance people
will become aroused and take steps
to suppress the traffic. Be this as it
may, she is in Jail and likely to have
to remain there for some time to
come as the Jail has been quarantin-
ed on account of smallpox and she
can't now get out even on the bail.
which she at first refused.

that neither is certain.

The caucus alone will determine.
This senatorial contest, waged bitter
ly as it was during the campaign,
cost the Republicans some members
of the house and should never have
been allowed to figure in the elect.
ion. Whatever may be the result,
Kansas will have good competent
senator, and will not suffer.
The Baker men have drawn first
blood in the preliminary struggle.
They have endorsed the candidacy Of
Barker for speaker and will doubt
less go in with the prestige of hav-
ing organized the house.
But the matchless organizing fac
ulties of Mr.. Burton have been at
work increasingly the last year, in
fact, most of the time for the past
six years, and this, coupled with
the standing his matchless campaign
last fall gave him, will surely land
him in the senate.
The caucus will decide the mat
ter. There will be no dark horses
and but one ballot.

Burton or Baker.

1t is now soon to be determined
which it will be. Mr.. Baker has
filled the high Office of u. S. Senat-
or for Kansas for the last six years.
He has made careful conservative
man, not brilliant or meteoric, not
a poser or talker to the galleries,
but consistent, considerate officer.
He has created no sensations ncr
has he made any mistakes.
He has made no enemies by his
biting sarcasm and cutting irony.
Nor has he blazoned the fame of the
state he represents by brilliant rhetor-
ic and high sounding but meaningless
sentences, but has stayed by his desk
and done his duty honestly and faith
fully. According to the unwritten
law of succession in Office in Kansas
a faithful, competent officer is entit-
led to succeed himself for second
term.
Yet this rule is not always follow
ed. Mr.. Baker was an accidental
senator. He spent no money or
time to secure the place. 1t came
to him unsought and unexpected,
and we might say unmerited, as a
man is supposed to have distin-
guished himself in some manner
within his party before he is entitled
! to receive such high honors from 1t.
Mr.. Baker had never rendered an
equivalent for the honor that came
to him SO Unexpectedly and hence,
by party rules, was not entitled to
the place, but he chanced to be the
available man to beat Mr.. Burton
and politicians saw it and took him
up and he won.
1t chanced, this time, that good
level. headed man was the available
one; little matter of that kind,
however, would not have been in
the way, had he been otherwise. 1t
had been decreed that Mr.. Burton
was to be turned down, and he was.
Now comes up the old contest
again between Burton and Baker.
Baker goes in now with the prestige
of one term and his appointees at
his back, on his record in the SEN
ate. Burton brings into the fight
his wonderful reputation as an orat-
or, handicapped still by his early
follies, of which he is said long since
to have repented and reformed.
Burton, to-day is the most brill
liant man in Kansas. Without the
singing sarcasm of ingalls,, he excels
him in logic aud sound reasoning and
equals him in elocution and oratory.
An indefatigable campaigner and
magnificent organizer, he goes into
the fight with a solid phalanx of per-
sonaI friends and admirers, deter
mined to land. Both sides are
claiming the victory. Each candi-
date claims to be perfectly conf
dent. The facts, doubtless are.
