CONNECTIONS WITH THE WEST.
In 1886, sufficient had been seen to show the
vast benefits Of railroad communication, and
in October Of that year, public meeting was
held in this city to consider what could be done
to advance the scheme Of connecting Charles
ton with the Ohio river. An appeal from the
citizens OF Cincinnati was extensively circu-
lated. and, soon afterwards, it was recommend
ell by the committee having the matter in
charge, that the appeal be responded to, and
all possible rid be given. Bishop Elliott, in
tho "southern Review" in 1928, had demon.
strated the importance to Charleston Of build
ing {. line of railroad which should drain the
trade Of the West, and the idea soon spread
and became generally popular. Mr. Poinsett,
Mr.. James Nicholson, Mr.. Charles Edmonston,
and MIR. Elias Horny, we're ardent advocates OF
the Cincinnati connection, and an able address
explaining the whole scheme was speedily pub
lished. In this address there was the following
paragraph:
Railroads can only exist while dispensing
blessings or affording protection. Ghey can
never be used as the instrument Of war and
conquest" But the writer's Of the address
could not look forward to 1861 or 1865, nor
could they have foreseen the Inauguration OF
the United States Military Railroads, or the
power that the railroad system would deveope
for war and conquest, as well as for the indus
tries Of peace.

IT THE EDITOR.

Every resident ebouid be perm itted to vote
because It Is an oct Of Justice TO permit him to d.
20. BE is compelled to pay taxes, and perform
all the duties ofa citizen, without enioying any
of the advantages. In fact. he Is covered, with.
ont his consent. The objection thar he Is gno-
rant ofour form Of government, Is utterly friv-
olous. Our native born citizens are sometimes
lgnoran of these matters, TO a certain extent.
Take the foreigners who come 70 th is country,
and they have better owldge Of the prinei-
pies OF government In general. than those who
have not lived under different goysrDments.
As "a matter Of policy, all esideuls should be
legal rioters. Nearly all Of them vote now, and
the difficulty is that they do not stop when they
vote once. They often vote, In the cities ten,
twenty, aud even fifty times. Treated as aliens.
and enemies to the Government under which
they have chosen Is live, they arc not careful
to obey the laws, only so far as they are COM
PEELED to do So And the Government treat ing
them rs enemies, many of them vote with the
enemies Of the Government.
There isa strorg feeling In Congress to amend
the naturalization laws. have no hope that my
views wi Il be carried at present, but hope and
believe that there will bo legislation In that di-
rcctlon. The term ofrssdenee before being per-
mitted to vote. will, think, be shortened
Partisaus will object because they may claim
that II would injure their party. This Is too
narrow q view 10 take Of great national ques.
tiona. And ths objection is not well taken, be.
cause the foreign vote is very nearly equally d.
Eided, taking city and country together The
