The packing houses in TYichita will have work to do next vear." GREAT A Generous Welcome. TYhen the publishers of The Democrat determined to publish a good, reliable Democratic journal they expected the support of the people, but they are com-peled to admit that their first issue received in an enthusiastic manner by the people, scarcely to be expected. Our borne papers have given The Democrat a generous welcome, and our office has been daily crowded by citizens of all parties who called to welcome the new paper. Letters are also daily received all of which are complimentary.

The Democrat does not like to blow its own horn, It looks too much like egotism, TYith the promise to the readers of The Democrat to do so no more, we this week publish notices by our TYichita papers, and two letters as samples of the marry received. One from TYichitas Republican mayor, and the other from that old stalwart Democrat, Judge Harris: Editor of The Democrat I received the first number of your paper and have very carefully and thoughtfully read it. I am well pleased with its matter and the discusion of the various qustions treated of. You say, if you are a Republican and want an honest statement of the principles of the party to which you are opposed, subscribe for The Democrat. I am a staunch Republican, and always anxious to keep myself posted in regard to the actions of the opposite party.

I am glad to know that we are at last to have in this city, a Democratic paper with the ability, and the Integrity, to give the people an honest statement of the principles of the Democratic party. Such, we have not had since the death of the lamented Capt. TYhite, until now. I therefore hand you my subscription for the year wishing you all success, which I am sure will come to you so long as you adhere to your declaration of principles as announced In your saluta-torv. G.

TY. Clemext. Samuel lieymond, a laborer at the Dold packing house in the lard rendering de partment, was seriously burned at that establishment Tuesdav of this week. Something About Markets. The expected rise in the grain markets so anxiously looked for by our farmers during the fall and winter months has failed, up to this time, to put in an appearance.

The good times promised the farmers by newspapers and public speakers that was to come on the permanent adoption of the home market theory is long, long on the way. The Democrat would be only too happy to announce to its farmer readers that existing conditions indicate a speedy advance in the price of all farm products. But at the present we can see no favorable indications that will warrant any such statement. The thing which it is claimed will cause an advance in the price of corn, oats and wheat in Kansas is the reduction of rates by the railroads running to the eastern seaboard. Lnder an ordinary condition of affairs this would undoubtedly result.

But at the present time It may be gravely questioned whether the opposite would not take place. The present exorbitant rates charged by the railroads on grain has, to a certain extent, placed an embargo on the shipment of Kansas grain to the east. If rates were considerably reduced the result would be that large quantities of Kansas corn, oats and wheat would he thrown upon the eastern markets even at the prices now qnoted. L'nder present conditions there is a strong probability that such shipments would cause a very considerable reduction in prices because those markets are well supplied with grain already. These high railroad rates, while compeling Kansas frrmers to hold their grain at home or from the eastern markets, has protected farmers in the eastern and middle states by preventing an unusual increase in the visable supply of grain in the distributing points in the east.

TYhile this action on the part of the railroads has prevented a serious break in eastern markets there has been a slight decline during the week ending yesterday. The flour market is unsatisfactory and in consequence, millers are not likely to put wheat up by active competition, while foreign markets continue dull and depressed. American wheat has declined during the week 6d in the English markets while com declined 3d to fid, there was also a slight decline in oats. Some unforseeE circumstance may develop in the near future that will cause a rise in the prices of grain, but at present The Democrat is unable to predict better markets in the very near future.

THE ONE-PRICE CLOTHIERS, JOSES; 208, 210 ansi 212 Douglas Avenue. Dick Ryan told me the other day that the clause of the 3Xetropolitan police law just as effectually destroys home rule in the large cities of Kansas as it is destroyed in Ireland. It is my opinion that the government belongs to the people and if they want to give it away that nobody ought to kick. TY.

P. Campbell I see The Kansas Democrat keeps the name of David B. Hill at the head of its columns as its candidate for president in 1892. The Democracy of Kansas will not follow that paper in any such scheme. If they do I shall have a very poor opinion of the Kansas Democracy.

The policy of Kansas railroads in regard to rates cannot be said at this particular time to be worthy of commendation. This, however, will not prevent TYichita from securing two or three more new roads this year that will add vastly to her commercial importance, and benefit all Southern Kansas as well. F. C. Warmouth has brought suit in the District court, of this county, against the Capital insurance company, of Topeka, to recover $500 damage for false imprisonment.

It seems the plaintiff was charged with arson and was convicted on false evidence and confined in jail for nearly three months and the case was afterwards dismissed. Editor The Democrat: Accept my thanks for the copy of The Democrat kindly sent to me. A careful reading of the salutatory discovered a statement of sound Democratic truths enunciated in the language of the patriot and statesman. The publication was as unexpected, as timely and merited. The Democrat will fill a long felt want with Democrats of TYichita and Sedgwick county, that can not fail of a support, ready as deserving.

I shall take pleasure In rendering you any aid I may be able to insure the success of your enterprise; and I much regret my inability to get to your office to aid in the suggestions of those who may be relied upon to help in the upbuilding of The Democrat. Again thanking you for the paper sent me and wishing you great success in the good work, I am as ever in Democratic fealty. Yours truly, Amos Harris. Great Furnitu aleatENOS Wichita Market Review. Cattle.

Receipts of rattlo during the week have been rather liberal. All however found ready sale. Local butchers and shippers all seemed to want cattle. Good fat beef cattle average 10 to 20 cents above last weeks prices, choice shipping steers selling for 83 80Q.4 20, while butchers steers brought 82 753 00. Cows and heifers sold for 2 10(g2 65.

There ha: been some demand for good native feeding steers which were sold for $2 65 2 65. Hogs. There has been a good demand for bogs, and all found ready sale to packers. Prices for good hogs during the week have been about 5 cents obove prices quoted last week. The best grades have sold readily for 83 05-3 67, nearly all car lots bringing the former figures.

Rough hogs have been sold for 63 00 3 30, but there is very little of this cha of stock now ariviug at the stock yard--. Sheet. The demaud -was light and receipts have not been large. Good mutton sheep hate brought 83 100 4 00. While good to extra lambs would bring 84 10g4 50.

Wuevt. The receipts of heat during the past ueek have not been large. The recent rain and snow have left the road: in such bad condition since the weather moderated that receipts by wagon are falling off. and the greater part of the wheat now going into local mills ceivcd by rail. Tbe flour market is not very satisfactory to millers, but notwitli standing the slight decline in eastern markets wheat has not declined here for the reason that receipts are scarcely up to the demand.

Good milling wheat sold during the week from 58 to 60 cents, while anything short of choice brought 50 to 5G cents. Low grade and musty sold from 20 to 40 cents. Corx. The receipts of corn since the last issue of The Democrat have been light aud mostly in poor condition, The receipts by rail were moderate but by wagon there is a great falling off. Corn inpoor condition has sold for about 12 cents while good dry corn has brought last week's prices, yellow selling for 13 cents.

Good dry white corn for milling purposes has all the week sold readily for 15 cents to millers. It is the belief of local buyers that when the roads become dry so as to enable farmers to deliver com by wagon the receipts will be very heavy, but they do not believe prices will reach a lower point. Oats. The receipts of oats are light scarcely more coming in by wagon than will supply the demands of the feed stores. The receipts hy rail has been moderate and all good, sound oats have readily sold on track from 13 to 14 cents.

Very choice oats will bring 15 cents at feed stores delivered in their bins. Rye. Very little rye is received and not much demand. Prices have ranged all the way from 20 to 24 cents owing to quality. A Satisfied Farmer.

Editor The Democrat: The farmers of the country are dissatisfied with the home market price for the product of the farm, their wheat, oats, com, but since reading the suggestion in the presidents message recommending that alcohol used in the arts be put on the free lists, and as the committee on ways and means have taken hold of the subject with vim and energy. The farmers, have, apparently, at least, a brighter prospect before them. The reason the farmer has more hope for in having better times is this: Alcohol is an important ingredient in the manufacture of silk plug hatj and if the Internal revenue law on alcohol used in the arts is repeated, the farmer, will have a great advantage over years past in purchasing his silk hats at greatly reduced prices, and the Republican farmers, at least, sell that, and feel very good over the prospect of having, at least, one of the necessaries of life on a farm, greatly cheapened in price. Now It is not generally known by politicians how essentially necessary silk plug hats are on a farm in order to raise good crops. No farmer who expects to succeed on a farm will undertake to plow, harrow, plant corn, potatoes, make hay, harvest wheat and oats, husk com, thresh his grain, make fence, feed his etock, milk his cows, fatten his hogs, go to market or do any other farm work without he has a number one, first-class, bran new silk plug hat on his head, nis wife must also have one, likewise his boys and girls else they cant help with the farm work.

No farmer can afford to have the odium and ridicule that would be attached to his name. If his boys or girls were seen milking the cows without a silk plug hat on his or her head. Therefore the farmers should be thrilled with great joy, almost beyond expression, because the grand old party Is making the great move in their favor in enabling them to purchase their silk plug hats at greatly reduced prices. The great statesmanship of the author of the free whisky plank of the Republican platform of 1883 is only beginning to be understood by the farmers. His object, undoubtedly, was to cheapen silk plug hats in the interest of the farmer as they are 6uch an indispensible article of neoassity with them.

The grand old party is great on protecting the fanner and laboring mans interests. Tbe tariff runs in about the same way that free whisky does with the Republican party as far as the interests of the farmer and laboring men are concerned, and the silk plug hat idea covers the whole ground of protection a9 far as the interests of the masses of the people of this country are concerned. So it is now hut the evil will eventually come. Farmer Johx. A Stock of Furniture at Cost and less than Cost.

These fixtures cost near two thousand dollars it is claimed, and while they will not be in keeping with the new government building it is conceded that government ought to pay the amount of first cost. Government being fuliy as able to do it as a few Wichita rrn i i I I heard a member of the TYichita bar talking to some brother lawyers yesterday. He 6aid it is my opinion that Kansas would be benefited by the repealing of all laws that allow men going into court to collect a debt founded on a contract. I told him that In case such a law was passed I would be able to hold my own as I owed more than is owing to mo. Cash Henderson Do you know that Kansas ought to be full of money at this very time.

Our com la going to eastern seaports and only bringing us thirteen cents when It ought to go to Galveston and bring us more money. It is my opinion that the Santa Fe road is standing in with the other roads to compel us to ship east. There should he something done about this matter. Board of Trade Work. It is pretty generally conceded by the people, that the Board of Trade are capable of looking out for the interests of TYichita, and that most of the valuable institutions which are now making TYichita prosperous Is directly due to the efforts of this organization.

A talk with the officers of this institution has convinced a representative of The Democrat that their efforts in behalf of the citys interests this year will result In much good to our people. One thiDg that will impress strangers with the importance of TYichita is the display of Kansas products, and the show made by manufacturers in the city of their wares in the Board of Trade rooms. Secretary Pearce is taking a lively interest In thi3 feature of the work, and if he can prevail upon every manufacturing interest in the city to comply with his requests, a visit to the Board of Trade rooms will not only at once Impress the stranger with the Importance of TYichita, but will furnish a source of gratification and pleasure for the people of our own city. The displays now made by the Hyduralic mills, the Royal Spice mills and the Wichita City mills is not only a credit to those institutions, but adds vastly to the attraction of the Board of Trade rooms. 3Ir.

Pearce says if all the other manufacturing interests In this city would make a like display, they would help Wichita, and that the advertisement would be worth Its cost to the firms making the exhibition. The officers will shortly turn their attention to the work of securing some more railroads that they are shure will add greatly to the material interests of the city. It has more than ever before become apparent in the last six months that Wichita needs some more railroads and the officers of Abe Board of Trade are going to do what they can to secure them. They are also interesting themselves in an effort to secure the location of some more wholesale houses that Secretary Pearce thinks will prove 106 West Douglas A remendou Boomlll IF YOU WANT TO INYEST AND MAKE HONEY ATTEND THE REAT BARGAIN SALE OF BOOTS, SHOES, ETC.

Lewis, Mgr. Hale Cowley All that we now want to make this immigration movement a grand succe is to accomplish our object with the railroads. TYe want a rate first to bring a man out here to see this country. In order to do this we must have a rate that will be reasonable. Then we want a one-way rate coming west so that immigrants can move their families and household effects by rail cheaply.

John H. Moobe is one among the many inteligent colored men in TYichita. Mr. Moore is a good Republican as well as an imminently practical man.

He forced the race question.

I met a Prohibition friend this week and he wanted some one to tell him how the saloon made good times or helped business. I told him that I did not consider prohibition responsible for all the evil in the world, but If we could make beer here and keep all this money at home that Is now going to Missouri, that it would make business better here. Then he said in that case the hog of a brewer would put the money in his own pocket and keep It. I saw a man last Saturday standing with his back against the county building entertaining a small crowd of men and boys. He used a great deal of profane language; he seemed to put in oaths about where punctuation points were required.

The burden of bis talk was that the preachers and priests were running this country, and he expressed a not very flattering opinion of anybody who would follow such an outfit. Then I wondered whom he wanted them to follow, and what a world this would be if everybody were to follow him. Advices received at the headquarters of the immigration bureau in this city show that much interest is being aroused in some of the western counties. It is believed all the western counties will in a short time organize auxilliary bureaus which will act in harmony with the state urbanization. Secretary Cowley, of the state organization, is doing his work thoroughly, and those taking part in the movement are sanguine that much good will be accomplished.

A letier from Esau in which he takes Tb Democrat to task for some remarks made last week on the single tax will he found in another column of this paper. Esau is a man of intellectual power and of profound thought. He will no doubt interest some of the readers of The Democrat, but it will be difficult to tell wherein he answers our argument. His communications will appear weekly sd no doubt will prove interesting. The Democrat wants the truth to prevail, and if Esau can show that his principles are right, let them stand.

The Crystal Ice company are getting ready for active business the coming season. The nice clean ice made by this company is growing in favor and they confidently expect a much larger business the coming summer than ever before.

The Largest Stock and Lowest Prices in the City. TYith becoming modesty the Democrat makes its bow, and begs to inform the people of Wichita, and Kansas, that it comes to join hands with them in the upbuilding of our city and state. No community can become great and prosperous without observing honesty in business transactions and guaranteeing to each individual his Inalienable rights. Thus the new party paper opens its salutatory to the reading public. A pretty good text.

It must b9 allowed, and if it shall live up to it with scrupulous fidelity it will find enough to keep it busy, hence out of mischief. But will it, can it do it and still retain its name and mantain full fellowship with its party? Or will It be received Into that party at all, on 6ueh a declaration of principles? If the latter It certainly has ample latitude and material for the exercise of its reformatory powers, and the Eagle cannot but wish it success. The publishers of The Democrat are Frank Smith and its editor George Litzen-burg (Farmer Doolittle.) The publishers are not novices in the business, having long been connected with the press of this city, more recently as proprietors, in part, of the old Wichita Beacon. Mr. Litzenburg, while hut little experienced in editorial work, Is yet a graceful and powerful writer and will do his part of the work in a creditable manner.

The Democrat Is a nine-column folio and will he Issued for the present on Thursday of each week. In appearance as well as subject matter, from its standpoint, it makes a creditable beginning, and In welcoming It into the realm of the press, even in its somewhat crowded condition in this city and state, would encourage it with the assurance given the young barrister by a patriarch in the profession to whom the former had gone for advice as to whether he should stick to It, or abandon it for something more promising for the future. It was, Hang on to it, young man; theres plenty of room at the top. Wichita Eagle. The Initial number of The Democrat lies outspread upon our exchange table, presenting a neat and newsy appearance.

The Democrat is a TYichita weekly by Frank B. Smith and edited by that sterling, though recentDem-ocrat, George Litzenberg, better known as Farmer Doolittle, in the style peculiar to him. We bespeak a bright future for the new paper, as it promises in every way to meet the expectations of the most enthusiastic member of the party whose cause it will espouse. Wichita and; Sedgwick county have been willing and are amply able to support a Democratic paper, a thing unknown to the county since the death of the late Captain TYhite. 3Ir.

Smith is an old and experienced newspaperman who has made for himself a reputation in the state. He knows just how a bright paper should be conducted, and If bis first issue Is a criterion, he will not disappoint his friends. The Democrat announces that it will discuss all state and national questions fairly and honestly, and from the Democratic standard. It will also discuss municipal affairs from a business standpoint. As there is always room for one more, and as a paper of merit can make for Itself a Sold, we bid the newcomer a hearty welcome.

Wichita Daily Journal. The Democrat is the youngest debutant in the field of WTchita journalism. Postmaster Frank Smith is its all-sufficient sponsor leaving no room for doubt as to its political bias nor as to the manner in which it will conduct itself as a newspaper. Tariff reform and resubmission fly at the mast-head of the new party organ. Perhaps no man could have been found in Wichita better qualified to handle these topics as they should be regarded from a Kansas standpoint, than George Litzenburg, the head of the editorial staff.

The secretary of the state immigration bureau is receiving many encouraging letters from tne counties in the state on the question of going to Omaha to present the claims of the bureau before the Trans-3Iissouri Passenger association. It is believed that much good will be accomplished by this movement.

It is the intention to have delegates from every county In Kansas attend the meeting at Omaha. Sedgwick county will he represented by L. Rouse, TY. A. Thomas, Corbett, A.

W. Oliver, Frank Williams, Kos Harris, Hale Cowley, J. D. Hewitt and George H. Black-welder, In order to induce all the counties in state to act the state bureau is sending out the following letter; Wichita, January 28, 1890.

The plan and character of the state advertising by the Kansas immigration bureau has been decided upon by the executive board. This will be a work to be distributed by the board all through the east, mailed direct to the people we are desirous to attract to Kansas. To make it a book of such a character that it will give dignity, tone and character to the state, no county can be too careful In the compilation of the facts and figures they furnish for this book, confining themselves to good, clean, well defined matter in attractive form, which every county has plenty of. Twenty-five pages of this work will be devoted to the state at large, with a good, plain map of the state. This work will be published immediately after the Omaha meeting.

Of pourse no great space can be given to any county, and it may be well enough to add that your matter must not contain over 1,000 words. Probably the first issue will be one or two million copies, the forms of which can be preserved and duplicated tvhen needed. The director for each county should give this immediate attention and get the best ability in their county in this direction, and by the 20th of February we will ts sending a book over the world that Kansas will be proud of, and one that will be read and preserved with more interest and a different motive than any book ever mailed for this purpose. Let us he careful and get up a book that will do justice to Kansas. At once setting ourselves right before the east and disabusing all of the eroneous opinions heretofore held.

This will be followed up by the county contributions of the newspapers from each county every week and the work of county agents in the east, and at this Omaha meeting, also, will be determined how many men the state shall have to represent her at large in the east.
