MO RE RAILROADS.

EDITORS NEWS: Now that the long-loOked-
for decision OF the Supreme Court Of our State
has been given upon the legality OF the rail-
road bond question. declaring the law under
which they were issued constitutional, j, for
one, say, let us vote more, and have more iron
roads, more competition.
IL lie highly important to the interests OF
Enporia and Of Lyon county that we at once
take measures to secure connection with Kan
sas City, thus giving us another outlet and
competing line TO the east.
Our people are beginning again to talk up
manufacturing establishments. No one thing
would do as much towards inducing the in
vestment Of capital in manufacturing enter
prises here In the west rs the building Of rail-
road, thus creating competition and q conSe-
quene reduction OF freights, which all must
admit would be necessary in O. der to place
our manufactured wares in conpetion with
eastern productions.
| With the building of competing lines Of
road, the building up of manufactures, ETC.,
every farmer, not blinded by prejudice, must
| see that his farm becomes more valuable; q
better, because home market, is given him fol
everything he produces. Not only the farm
ing community Is benefited, but all classes, a
can readily be seen, without going into the
why's and wherefores.
1t seems to me, Messrs. Editors, that there i
no time TO lose in making the effort to seeur
the line OF road mentioned. Other points viii
enter the race for 1t, and we must not fold on

OF 1871 at this place yesterday. 4 more gor-

our city. Although this Is the fiftieth year of
the existence OF Van Amhurgh's MenageTie,
everything appears as gay and glittering IS
when new. During the interval that the conn.,
pany has been in winter quarters ct Carthage,
the manager has been actively engaged in put
ting the entire Institution through thorough
course OF repairs. The wagons have all been
overhau1ed, repaired and repafnted, so that
they have the appearance of new vehicles.
The band chariot is especially attractive.
New harness and new trimmings have been
| supplied, the horses are in splendid condition,
and the procession, as IL passed through the
city yesterday, presented tine appearance.
The collection OF animals, which Is large, en-
| braces many cnoiee specimens OF the various
| species represented. Hyatt Frost, the mana
PER, has exhibited rare degree OF presidency
In conducting the AFFAIRS OF the company, and
has made complete success Of the institu-

French Circus, are complete exhibitions in
themselves.
| Much skin was displayed In the various
performances In the arena, especially in the
departments Of gymnic and feats Of eques-
trianism. Mons. Seigrist, in his performan.
ces with his two little boys. was an attractive
/ feature Of the entertainment, as was also the
same performer with his trained dogs.
The attendance, both In the afternoon an6
IN the evening, was very large. the eommodi

both occasions.
Everything was conducted in the most or
