RAILROAD INTERESTS.

We are pleased to notice that our
efforts to awaken an interest and give
right direction TO the sll-importsnt sub.
ject of railroads for Kansas have no,
been entirely in vain, but before any
permanent good can be accomplished,
there must be ootion as we'll AS talk.
We have endesvored faithfully and
honestly TO point out what appears to
us the wisest policy and the mos; Judi.
cious course to pursue; and TO send forth
timely warning agains: investments
by oar people in a wrong direction. II
eastern capitalists choose to build roads
all over the territory. let then, 10 i'.ani
thank them for it; bat If they ask our
lands or our money 10 aid in Tie work.
let us be cautious. weigh well. and
"give Of our substance" only where it
will toll to the most advantage and the
.ge'sern good.
Times just now are too hard in Kansas
10 think Of railroads unless they are
made by foreign aid; but i, is an excel
lent time to awaken the people Of S.
Louis and o,her points 10 n Hpeiy sense
of Their interest.
The sooner there is direct railroad
communication between. 81. Louis, Lea
venworth City and the interior OF Kan
sas, the better it will be for all con
cerned-esprcially will st. Louis suffer
until this IS the case. 4 million dollars
should be at once raised in that city FOR
this purpose. TO be followed up by such
additional sums az would be found ne
cessary 10 complete the work. ST. Louis
cannot ,nves. money any where So prof
i,ably; and if she does not bestir Lersel;
she will sustain loss which will re
quire years Of effort and more capital
in the end TO restore.
And if Leavenworth City does no,
shake herself from the dus; and arouse
from the lethargy into which she has
fallen. she will wake up some Of these
days. and after rubbing ker eyes from
Rip Van Winkls nap, find that she has
been letting golden moments pass by
unimproved, that will never return: and
then i, will call for double effort to
make amends for the mistake.
Every business man and every public
Journal in these Two cities should '.pni
heir shoulders to the wheel" and push
forward the car Of enterprise. Idle
ness and delay arc alike TO be deplored.
md will prove alike disastrous. The
low process of "le.ting things take
heir course" will hardly do in this ag.
# steam and ligh.ning-Me course ef
hinys mast Dc. helped along Jy energy

LIFE ! is the wa;chword. and LIFE

Choste's Eloquence.

A Western magazine. in discussing
Rufus Choste's c!oquecs, opium ent.

'Whsn he chose TO display his knowl-

Few men have taken 90 many liber.
ties with English speech. He spoke q
new and strange tongues Babyoinish

His tendency to exaggeration and love
Of display led him to magnify unimpor-
tant things. and blinded his sense Of
propristy: lie sacrificed every thing to
effect his speeches sometimes remind
one Of the poor foolish daw clad in pea

He would be as pathetic as the srasd
lamentations Of Sampson Agonis.es. on

rise into the cathedral music Of th. uni
