COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT.
The public was informed by a
late issue of the Ellinwood Leader
that "the majority Of the people
of this city had a peculiar way
Of managing the public affairs, .
and that the editor was one of
this majority.
We are also informed that if
the minority are not pleased
with this majority style that
the minority can leave the town.
The minority may have supposed
that they would not be allowed
to move away from this place by
the majority if they made known
their views on public questions.
This information furnished by
the Leader is one of great value;
it has furnished the public with
the startling information that
the r. r. fare in three cents per
mile; and that one will be per-
mitted to go by way Of the Santa
Fe, by wagon or on foot, in case
one objects to allowing joints to
run wide open, every day in the
week INCLUDING SUNDAY, with a
fine of fifteen dollars per month;
or if they object to the adver-
tisement Of a joint permanently
placed in the postoHice.
The minority would like to ask
if we will be allowed to suggest
that the majority should walk
in the middle OF the street in
order to avoid the danger OF
falling on the detective sidewalks,
and in old cellars along side OF
the walks? The sidewalks can
be used by the minority with
comparative safety, and they
will probably not ask to be al
lowed to walk in the middle OF
the street except on Sundays in
order to avoid hearing the sing
ing and dancing in the joints.

IRA III. CLARK was selected by
the delegation of this county as
committeeman on the congress
sional committee of this district.
This was a great mistake. 1t
was reflection on Mr.. Long.
1t is usual to select committees
men who are in sympathy and
hearty accord with the congress
man. During the last campaign
Mr.. Clark used his paper to abuse
and discredit Mr.. Long. 1t was
in bad taste, under such circum-
stance, for him to seek this ap-
pOintment. 1t is usual for the
cabinet to tender their resigna-
ton when a new President is
elected. The element, as a whole
that backed Mr.. Clark are not
hearty supporters of Mr.. Long,
and will notexert themselves for
his election. While Mr.. Clark
may give a sort of support to
Mr.. Long, it cannot come with a
sincere and hearty feeling. The
position enables him to injure
rather than to promote Mr..
Longs success.-Great Bend
Tribune.
The above editorial from Mr..
Townsley would indicate that he
has not much hopes of the re-
election of Congressman Long,
and it certainly does look like
the Philistians were upon him.
If the things Mr.. Clark of the
Register formerly said against
Long were true, then Clark would
stultify himself by giving Long
support this year. On the other
hand, if Clark made unjust at
tacks on Long in former years
for personal reasons, those rea-
sons must be removed before he
can whoop it up for Long very
enthusiastically. 1t looks just a
little bit like the Great Bend post
mastership might be one of the
reasons" for the peculiar state
OF affairs that exist in republi-
can ranks.
TOPEKA is an ultre republican
town-at least it and Shawnee
county are always held up to the
rest OF the state as the banner re-
publican stronghold OF Kansas,
Topeka has a large colored pop
ulation, and as natural result
the republican strength is due to
the negro vote. Yet there is now
a race war threatened in that
city because the whites, who hold
the Offices, will not let the colored
children attend the schools with
the white children.
