We hear 9 EreaA deal said about ssAta
Aid, and We learn thai cur woEhy and
esteemed Representative Is actually u.s.
ing his iaaasASs 1t Jefferson City, te
procure additional State Aid for the ben.
| eft Of our road. We most heartily wish
him God speed, at the same same time We
cannot refrain fr9m expressing oTr utter
want Of condolences la the success of any
arrangement Of the kind 20 u sufficient
sxteni 10 scat any ignEesa in OF influence
the fate Of the road. For we know thai
Ihsre IL . dscided disposition peEvaSling
not only the psopls Of the wh1la Stats,
bus Of ths Legislature, likewise, to With.
hold the credit Of tha Stats in chs future,
and any effort in this diTeeai0n will meet
with obstinate aaa, In car opinion, sac-
aeaSfal resistance In tbs present Legisla-
ture.
The credit of the State is already
largely involved in behalf of Ghe differ
ant railroad interests Ia the State, and
the people are beginning TO be alarmed
for the future, Less population and bank
ruptoy which always follow hand in hand
extravaganza and reckless Legislation,
should Do the result. Our Representa-
tivss from North. w est Missouri NAV, rs
they doubtless viii, present aur claims
With q great showing Of justice and fair
ness, and may plead the neglect which
tha North Wsst has received aE the hands
Of the Legislature, with the eloquanee Of
Cicero or Dsm0sthenas, but the Repre-
ssntativas Of oEAsr parts Of the State who
have been abuadsntly provided toE here
tofore, and who haze grown indepsn-
IDENTIFY impudsns OF Of what should have
been ours, will care about as mach for
il and be about as much effected By il
as they wauld DO by the chaltering Of q
delegation Of monkeys. Until q man re-
solves to do his own work il is not like
Iy 20 be done. So it ia with US. II we
woald base a road We must so to work
and build it ourselves With the assistancs
We have got-expeeting to make the ma
wait for the State TO build Ehe road for
as, so long will ws be without road
We notice taat the people of our sister
State (Iowa) is alive 10 the Importance
Of this work aud, will doubtless take
steps at IA ear J day for the completion
OF her part it. We would lake very
much indeed to see this wark progress,
and the szmR anount Of zeal manifested
on our end Of the route. Our future
wealth and prosperity depend upon il.
Whenever il becomes necessary we hope
our citizens will, with one accord, al
thori2s our County Court TO take stock
in THE enterprise for tho county to toe
utmost Of lts ability; and Whenever lhe
counties through which the road runs,
are prepared to follow salt, We will have
the road, and NOS until theu.
