Therefore if money is your object, we will say candidly, that, if reforms go in i'ututc as they have in the past ou had belter run your newspaper do 3 our voting, and conduct vour business In favor of Setemup.

But if you want to grow into a nobler and better manhood, defend the right and risk the consequences. of it and sit clown on ever business man who 'did not work with them. They have succeeded in doing just what they said they would do. A real estate and Insurance firm gave ten dollars towards the prosecution, li whisky men immediately sat down them and they raised the white flag and ordered their advertisement out of the Times. As soon as the Bea-ron came out last week another Main street business man came up and took his advertisement out of the Times aad carried it over to the Beacon.

Two others have done likewise. In talking with other business men they have told us plainly that they dare not give us encouragement for foar tliac it would kill their business. We can give temperance men the names of all these firms1 In writing this it is not. to discourage. The facts should be laid before you so that you can see what you will to fight.

The whisky men have got every business man in this city by the throat, and they will never let loose their grip until wo arouse the public to a united action. Can we do it? We must meet them on their own ground Let a subscription be circulated, in tho city and country, in which wo bind ourselves not to spend a cent of money; or in any way encourage the business of any man who, openly or secretly, aids and assists in the rebellion igainst the constitution of the State. This i not the right way, but it is the best that can be done. Wo must fight fire with-lire. The same plan has been adopted in Topeka, and three convictions followed while the tide is turning in favor of the law.

Lei this plan be set on foot at once, and put lawyers and physicians, yes, and preachers too, in the catalogue ol condemnation. Let it be understood that if a lawyer assist in this rebellion that he looses tho support of all law-abiding citizens. Get up the subscription and let the preachers. Sunday School workers, and Temperance advocates canvass the cili and every nook and corner of the surrounding country. On Thursday of next week we shall issue one thousand extra copies of tho weekly Times, to be sent all over the county.

Send in red hot contributions this week. PUBLISHED BY CAL. BIDLACK; EDITED BY T. J. SHELTON.

Let the campaign begin at once. Specimen copies free to all who will work for us. We will go to press every Thursday, and you can get the weekly on Thursday evening or Friday morning.

Sedgwick County Normal Institute met Monday at the first Ward school house. Fifty seven members were enrolled and quite an enthusiasm seems to pervade the meeting, From time to time we must call your attention to the business of Agnes Sommer. The ladies should call and examine her stock before purchasing elsewhere. In the line of repairing watches, she cannot be excelled. If Gitcau has worn the cloak of a preacher, temperance lecturer, it only makes his crime the more damnable and casts no reflection upon the profession lie fraudulently assumed.

There are many pettifoggers in the world, but this does not proi that the learned profession of the law is a humbug. The Pope has issued an encyclica letter in which he declares that the late attempts upon the lives of sovereigns is due to both subjects ami rulers departing from the precepts of Christ. Yon are right most reverend papa. It is due to internal cussed -ness on the part of both the sovereigns and their subjects. That old sinner is mistaken about the Times inaugurating the movement to draw the lines in business.

The system has alre ly been inau o-urated bv the other cidc. Thcv aie still at work doing nli they can to take business away from the men who have been helping the Temperance movement. We are simply recommending a little of their own medicine. The fire has already beeu kindled and we can afford to light tire with fire. We had rather use some other method, yet, in this duel we did not have the choice of weapons.

They were chosen for us, and now we are going to use them. Yes, old sinner, while we do not charge the assassination of President Garfield to the opposition to prohibition as you intimate yet, the same spirit of rebellion against law is manifest in both cases. On our streets the day of the assassination whiskey men said of Garfield Damn him, it is good enough for him. The same power that killed Garfield can kill St. John.

If they dont quit interfering with our liberties we will kill the last damned one of them. We had thesp words written sometime ago but concluded not to print them, but they come in very well in answer to Sinner. the same time tliey-the whole seventeen- bore the expenses of the Snitz-ler trial. These are facts, uot mere idle fancies. The trial of Snitzler cost that gentleman just one-seven-iceuth of the whole expense.

This is surely a light tax on the saloonkecp-ci's, lyid if we move as slowly in the future as we have in the past they can afford to run their saloons-and have a new trial every week. This would be a very cheap license. Put the cost of license at $300 per year for each dealer in liquors; and, if they are permitted to run without license they can afford to pay the lawyers fifty one ($5,100) hundred dollars a year to defend them in the courts! The Temperauce people will not raise more than one-fifth of that amount for prosecution, and yet the opposition say that we are running our paper for the money that is in it! Do the doctors know anything? When the late Earl of Boaconsfield was in his last illness tho doctors be- gau a quarrel over him which has not been settled yet. When Garfield was shot down by an assassin, all tho eminent physicians of the United States military7 service were on hand; and the all got into a muddle. The news cametbathe is dead, wounds not necessarily fatal, internal liern-orrage has set in, secondary hem-orrage lias set in and death is certain to ensue.

will die before midnight, etc. The doctors quarrel over a nan's body with as much confession of judgement as the preachers over his soul. Does either profession know anything, or, is it all guess work with the experts in reference to both soul and body? There is too much moonshine in medk-inc, theology and law. file doctors, the preachers and the lawyers need to cultivate common cnse; and a title of the same article would not be useless among journal-ts. ATTJLE JOHNNY ON DOGS.

One day there was a feller hot a dog of a man in the market, and the dog it was a biter. After it lnd bit the feller four or five times, he threw a closehne oyer its neck and led it back to the dog man in the market, and he to the dog man, the feller did: "Ole man. didn't you use to hae this dog? The dun man tie hiked at dog. and then lie thought awliie. and then he said: Well, ye; I had him about half the time and the oilier half lie had me.

Then the feller he was fewrious mad, and he said! Wot did you sell me sech a dog as this for? And the man lie spoke up and sed: For fore dollars and seventy-five cents, lollle money. The feller guessed he wude go home, if the dog was willing. Uncle Ned, who has been in Indy7 and eryw here, he says the Mexican (logs dc nt have no hare on em.

We inquired of Mr. Dale his reasons. lie said he dismissed the suit because that he believed it impossible to convict any one at the present time. Others said that the trial was dismissed because the country people were finding so much fault about it. Wc do not bclievo that the farmers as a class are finding fault at all; and if they arc what lias that to do with the escape of a criminal? The county Attorney had as well dismiss a suit against any oihr criminal.

The saloonkeepers are simply criminals, guilty of high treason against the constitutional law of the land And shall seventeen saloons control Sedgwick County and the city of Wichita? Is it possible that we are to be ruled by the saloons and their allies? In it a faei that the churches, the schools, the lodger, and the civilized people of the city and county are to be trampled and spit upon the reliejof barbaiism and vulgarity? If so. farewell to tho growth and permanent prosperity of our beauti ful city. A letter comes to us from the east saying: Is prohibition a success? Can yon enforce ttie law? It so, I want to bring my bovs to yon city and get them away from the accursed influence of the saloons. Alas! to ai! such letters we must an swer, No, the saloons have more in iluence in the courts than all our moral and educational lorces combined. A man with a leatherbead on his shoulders and a keg of beer be hind his counter has more influence with Kansas lawyers and Kansas courts than the man of brain and culture with bis Bible and his school books, his purity of life and cleva tion of thought.

IIow long will this be true? Not forever. No, in a few years more the reign of coarseness andiilgarity will be ended. We can bide our time. The whole civilized world lias begun to move and the load of shame will be thrown oil'. Onward, for the right.

Open Defiance. "The saloon men boast that the have' everything their own way, and propose to do as they please. Have we enough men in the Temperance Alliance and in the churches, and among the moral people of the community7, to stem the tide? Or, shall we put up the white Hag? Are -we afraid to show our strength or have we nothing but weakness to show? On Sunday the saloons are open in full blast. A carriage load of men and women drove up in front of a Main street saloon and called for beer, and the bar-keeper brought it to them. Another party stopped in front of the same saloon and when the beer was brought out they waved their foaming glasses above their heads and defied any cne to report them.

In the Eagle of last week you will find a displayed advertisement of a beer dealer who publicly announces himselt as a wholesale dealer is beer and announces that be keeps a supply constantly on hand at his place of business on Douglas avenue. The saloon men The Money Question. There has been an infernal lie goiDg the rounds ol the opposition papers that the editor of the Times boasted publicly that he lud no interest in the temperance light outside of the money that was in it. In the first iJlaco we never said it; and, iu the second place if we had said it in seriousness it would have been positive proof that we had neither principle nor sense. It is a small matter for the public to say that one has no principle; all successful men are unprincipled iu the eyes of the rabble; all rich men are unprincipled as a rule, in the eyes of the thriftless and poor.

But it is a serious point with us to be called foolish or idiotic. Therefore, so far as money is con-concerned wo know that it is not ou the side of right. The weakness of our churches, benevolent societies and reforms is at this point. They are afraid of their money. The devil will spend ten dollars where the Lord spends a nickel.

The tribfc of Setemup will spend all that they have before they will fail to carry their point. The church aad other reformers are carried ou by a few men who bear the burden. The opposition is a unit. Seventeen saloonkeepers and their allies have had control of the city of Wichita for years, and unless there is a united effort and much money spent they will continue to hold the public purse in their hands. It is not because they have more power ard more money than the better class of society; but.

because they put their, power and money where it will do' the most good. We theorize and TIIE BUSINESS MEN. The business men are afraid to assist the Temperance cause. The newspapers of the city know that their flings ut the Times on the money question are simply intended to cover their own motives in defending tne liquor traffic. There is not an editor or publisher in this city who is so low down as to take the anti-temperance side from principle; but they know that bread and better depend upon it.
