BURLINGTON.


See how Burlington improves. New
frame houses are going up in every di-
rection. Whistler's addition is filling
up with good residences. The south
and west parts are filling up with resi-
dences and business houses. Neosho
street is becoming the rival of Third in
business. A yeaE ago they had one hard
ware store, now they have three; one
drug store, now four; three dry goods
stores, now eight; and grocery stores
by the dozen. The Christians are build
ing a new church. The Methodists are
preparing to build fine church. Mr..
Stowe is putting up large stone -four
ing mill. / saw a small stone store GO
ing up on Neosho street.
Burlington is a city. The Mayor ia
vors dramshops, and drinks whisky to
kill. The Council are opposed to sa-
looms, and keep sober. The majority of
the people favor temperance, and will
Dust the Coon when his licenses are out.
The city is severed in twain by Rock
creek. The Northerners and Southern
ers are striving for the mastery. The
railroad depot is on the south side. The
rivalry is healthy, and awakens a good
deal of enterprise on both sides.
Burlington expects one or two other
railroads. They talk of bridging the
Neosho. They are agitating the ques-
ton of county buildings. There is a
deal of big talk about many things.
They support a live Patriot, which is
done up Brown" every week.

THE KANSAS CITY AND SANTA FE
RAILROAD.

A correspondent makes some inqui-
ries of the Ottawa Journal as to the
probable course OF the above road
whether it will run to Burlington or
Emporia. The Journal replies that it
would unquestionably be ''for the best
interests of our city and county that the
road should run by way of Burlington"
We are not going to quarrel with the
Journal about what it considers the best
interests of that place. If this road is
being constructed with a special view to
the interests of Ottawa, we suppose
they haze the exclusive right to say
where it shall go. But we apprehend
there are other interests to be consulted,
not only those of the country and towns
through which the road shall pass, but
those of the men who are building the
road. The people of Usage and Lyon
counties feel an interest in the construc-
ton of this road In this direction. It
is an enterprise which they have assist
ed in working up" for six or eight
years, and they do not now see why the
attempt should be made TO divert it
from its original line. AT least they do
not consider the claims of Ottawa as
paramount to every other consideration.
Ottawa wants two roads. She wants
the X. G. & S. F. road to go to Burling-
ton, and the Holden road to come to
Emporia. We have no objection to her
working in every honorable and COM
mendable way for her interests. Until
recently she has been in favor of run
ming the X. c. & S. F. road to Emporia.
The idea of its going to Burlington we
never heard preached until within the
last six months. 1t may turn out to be
good thing for her to go back on her
old friends and 1t may not. But of one
thing the Ottawa Journal may rest as
sured, and that is, if the Kansas City
and Santa Fe road is diverted from its
original line, II will be for better rea-
sons than the mere subscribing of the
interests of that town at least that's our
opinion now. The counties of Usage
and Lyon stand ready and have always
been ready to do their duty by this en-
terprise. We do not believe the people
of franklin county, when they voted
bonds to this enterprise, understood it
was to take any other route than that
up the Marais des Cygne, and to tap
the Neosho Valley at this place, where
connections would be formed with 9TH
err roads of vastly more Importance than
can be offered at any other point on the
Neosho river. The statement of the
Journal that it is ~ miles to the center
of the Neosho Valley by the Burlington
route, and 65 miles to the head of the
valley by the other, is grossly errone-
Gus, whether wilfully SO or not we will
leave that paper to say. The difference
in favor of the Burlington route, from
Ottawa, is about eight miles, and the
difference in the cost of the two. in IA
vor of the Enporia route, is from
S15O,O00 to 100000. In its efforts to
subserve what it cOnceives to be the in
terests of Ottawa, the Journal must not
make gross misrepresentation.

The losses by fire in the United States
during the year 1869, amounted to the
large sum of 100000. 1t is esti-
mated that fully one-half of this loss re-
suited from damage by water. The
question naturally arises, is there any
other medium that will successfully ex-
tinguish fire without flooding heavy
stocks of goods or household effects
with water? Great interest has lately
been manifested by the people with re-
gard to this important subject; the
problem has been solved in q most sat-
islactory manner by repeated tests of
the Excelsior Fire Extinguisher" on
massesof the most infiammable material.
which were Instantly extinguished by
the chemicals thrown upon the fire.
The Excelsior has been commended by
the Fire Marshal. Insurance companies,
and Board of Fire Commissioners, as
the best Extinguisher in the market. and
it has lately won golden opinions from
our Southern brethren, At the Louisiana
Fair. where il took the first premium, q
massive silver medal, aud also received
a special testimonial. We have recently
purchased an Excelsior" and esteem il
the best Fire Extinguisher yet invented.
For further particulars of this inValu-
able machine we refer you to our adVer-
Using columns.
We expect one of these Extinguish-
ers in few days, and will show 1t to
the people.

The last Emporia Netcs exhibits weakness
in n fcrocious attack upon John Speer. Does
the Nelcs expect 10 ride into Congress on this
hobby Isn't this card played out Gdrnett
PldiR6edIer.
No, sir. THE News don't expect to
"ridc into Congress" on this or any
other hobby. Wehope the Plaindealer'
is as unconcerned about "riding into
Congress- as THE News is. The fact is,
The News don't care continental
dried apple whether It "rides into Con-
gress" or not. Neither does THE News
propose to be mealy-mouthed about
calling things by their right names. fla
man steals $4,000, why not say he is
a thief The immediate cause of the
'ferocious attack" was a dirty, lying
article in the Iribune-Speer's paper
about The NEWS, published without
provocation. The News proposes to
defend itself irrespective of Congress or
any other position. We did entertain,
to some degree, the sickly, sentimental
twaddle about Speer; we did sympa-
thize with him. We did not believe he
got much benefit from the stolen money.
We knew he had been a tool for baser
men than himself. But there is defal-
cation amounting to Sl59,OOO, in an Of
flee which Speer held for four or five
years Who must the Government and
people look to for that money! Speer,
of course. Now Speer jokes about it.
He don't take any steps to fix It up.
He don't pay farfhing of it. The peo-
pie have paid their honest, hard earned
taxes. Speer sunk Sl59, 600 somewhere.
1t may have gone to the pockets of those
who used him. But that don't help the
matter. AL Investigation has been post
poned until after the nert State COnren-
toni Such fellows as Worden,
and few Clarke editors are traversing
the State trying to laugh away this mat
ter. The men who paid the money
don't see schere the laugh comes in. II
the PIdiRdealer is in favor of having
.Speer refund the money, why does II
characterize all attempts to denounce
him, as weak? That sentiment which
says 1t is weakness to say man is q
defaulter when he is believed and known
to be such, is itself the quintessence OF
weakness. When we want to go to
Congress bad enough TO keep oul
mouths shut about the populations OF
the ring which is now running this
State we will let the Plaindealer know
This card is not ''pIayed ont" We've
got some trumps left. When Speel
pays back into the peoples treasury
what he owes It, then "this csrd' will
be "plAyed out" When he stops trying
to cover up his own crimes by attempt.
ing to blind the eyes of the people by
publishing lies about other men, "thi'
CARD will be "played out" Not til
then, with us, and the PIatndeGler and
ali others who think 1t weakness to de-
nounce him can go to-Congrese, for al
we care.

The House of Representatives, on
Friday last, after an animated debate
sent the new apportionment bill to the
Judiciary Committee, which is looked
upon as unfavorable to the success of
the measure. The objection to it in the
House seems to be the amendment of
the Senate increasing the number of
Representatives to 300. We regret that
this action was taken.
But there is yet hope that a bill may
pass, and we are glad to see that Sena-
tor Harlan has already introduced an
other bill. 1t provides that in any State
in which the representative population
of the ninth census shall exceed by
hundred and fifty thousand, Or more,
that of the preceding census, there may
be an additional representative in the
Forty second Congress for each 10000
of such excess and for such fraction
thereof exceeding 125,000. The States
are to be notified as to the additional
number as soon as the census returns
are in, and unless otherwise directed by
q State, such representatives. shall be
elected OIL general ticket.
In case of the passage of such bill
as this, with the proviso that sunless
otherwise directed by State, such rep
resentatiyes shall be elected on gener-
al ticket" we do not hesitate to say it
would be the duty of the Governor to
call the Legislature together that the
State may be districted. 1t can all be
done in time for the election. We
should be opposed to the election of the
members on general ticket If it can
possibly be helped, and IL the bill pass
es with such proviso as that above
quoted it can be as we'll as not. In
calling an extra session the Governor
would not only be complying with the
request of the last Legislature, but he
would be sustained by public opinion.

Kansas. We are glad to hear this, as a
reliable history Of this State Is much
