THE RAILROAD CONVEN. ION.

From the telegrapic reports which
have reached us Of The doings Of the
Topeka Railroad Convention. it seems
to US that the action Of that body was
very greatly controlled by the influence
Of foreigners. who have selfish ends to
attain rather than the advancem ent Of
the true interests of Kansas. We may
be mistaken, hut looking on from this
distance, it strikes US that the Hannibal
and St. Joseph railroad managed the
whole thing to suit themselves. and to
plsy into the hands of tha, road.
Nov We have not the slightest cbJec-
ton to the managers of that road using
every endeavor 70 make the mos. Of
their investment. and the most of their
road. THIS is their right. and we wish
them success. Bur We most positively
object to making Kansas a mere ,ribu-
taIy to that road. or to have our lands
devoted to building roads whose chief
end will be to thow money into the
Golfers of that company.
As we said in a former article. il will
te out of the order Of the natural laws
Of trade for Chicago to become tie city
of trade with Kansas and it is only
committing lingering suicide or bleed
ing our future state TO prosiration. 10
invest in railroads which can only have
this object as the ultimate one in view.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
commit a fatal mistake in the beginning,
especially when capital is emplo, Cd to
blind the vision and prejudice the judg
ment : but il requires time, aud effort.
and sacrifice 10 recover from the effects
Of such an error.
We are Nor that system of policy
which will best develop our rhsle coun-
t'y-tha, which looks beyond mere local
interests and takes in the whole. If the
plan proposed by the Topeka conven-
ton will secure this end, then We are
in for it. We do not believe it will =
we do not believe it was intended 10
this end as the great objects TO he
achieved BY those who shaped the ac-
ton of the body.
We shall have more to say on this
subject hereafter.

four houses have been burned. and al
least one hundred families turned out

acquaintance Of ours called the power
of the Federal Government. l have,
during the last twenty -four Lours. con.
versed With at least twenty persons from
that country. and all give it as the sad
dest scene ever witnessed in Kansas.
Women and children are now sheltered
in the bushes along the creeks. mourn
ing their hard fate. They feel discon-
solate- aln,ost sick of life. Some say
they would as soon die as leave the
country they have been laboring so hard
to improve during the last six years
In fact.th whole community are quite
discouraged. and know not what to do
They almost feel deserted-as cast GU.

to Kansas. or to any where else. and nc
arm appears to protect them. or show
them any sympathy in this sad hour

The Times says the letter is from an
entirely reliable source. but seems to
be Of the opinion that the representa-
tons Of its correspondent: were made
under the influence of the prevailing

is correct. at least, we are rather in.
clined to believe so,and hope that sucl
is the case.
