the proposition now under consider at inn
az coming from the hest aourcs in this
country 1t means business, and IL the
necessary contracts can be made. we feel
assured that the road will be completed
IN the shortest possible time.
Some of our friends 10 Dnniphsn
County are doing this city injustice h,
insinuating that We de.irs any delay or
chsnse in the original location. Our peo.
pie are just as anxious for the compile
,ion of this road a. any Of the citiz-n. al
Doniphan County can be. and they waul'l
unanimously oppose and .denonncs any
ch.nge in the direction or location of fine
road, under any circnmst ances wha'ever
We want the road hnilt through to White
Cloud in tho shortest possible time. and
wiIl oppose, with all the vigor and in
flnpncc we have. any change in route or
any delay in the work.
We do not pretend TO excuse the omar.
els and chickering's of the Directors OF the
Road. We believe that these disputes.
many of them utterly baseless and IN
iusti6ahle. have seriously retarded the
completion Of the road. We hope,
however. that the Directors now appre.
ciate the fact that they must be harmonious
anil united to be snccrssfnl. and under.
stand ,ha, the people will not excuse snv
w'angling or ps'son.l fenJs that delay the
progress of work on the road Every
ones idea cannot be adop'ed. and some-
body must yicldl where there are diverse
opinions. Atci,ison nes..s anil must have
this road: Doniphan e'ds and mn>f hhv-
il; and the man who stands in the way
Of its success will be held to rigid ac-
conntah lity.
We give ths gentlemen who have tins
far controlled the building Of the ROAD
credit for the enterprise and energy thes
have exhibited in grading and preparing
It for the iron. It is not an easy matter
to build railroad with Conn,y bonds
hut thev have done well. thus f.r. on the
capital they had. The only jns, cusse
Tor complain, il the delay that has oc-
curred in securing the iron. and this is
properly hlsmeable hccanse We believe
,h.t it is doe. in gree, measure. TO the
ridiculous personal qnsrrels that have
divided and distracted the conn.els Of the
Directors and p.rsIyz.d their strength
aud efforts. These gentlemen onght to
know. sni we hope they dn know now.
that without unisn and harmony they
must fail in oil their efforts 10 secu.e iron

causs Of their personal qnsrrels they vii
not he excnsed or forgiven nv the people
Let them oil concede something Tor the

Meantime we ask our Doniphan f,iends
to be patient a little while. and swsM
the 'esnl' Of the negotiations now in pro
gress. We sbalI he as qnick ss any io
condemn the Directors IL they fail in ma
king energetic sf,rts to secure iron for
the road. We believe they are now do
