not present the compact and business
like appearance that Eldorado does. The
towns in the southwest are classed as
follows: Wichita, Eldorado, Arkansas
City, Winfield, Augusta, Douglas, Chel-
sea and Park City, and are all growing
with greater or less degree of rapid
ity.
Over one hundred business houses
and dwellings have been put up in the
town site of Eldorado during the year
1870, valued at 100000. Some fifteen
or twenty new buildings are now go
ing up there, mostly of the better class
of business houses. a Kansas City
firm has just bought property there and
will put in large agricultural ware
house Immediately.
A gentleman coming up from EIdor-
RADIO Friday, the 9th, counted one hum
dred and eight teams in travelling dis
lance of fifty miles, all loaded with
freight for the southwest. Calcutta
ting that each wagon had on two
thousand pounds of freight, we have
an average of ten car loads, daily,
shipped from Emporia TO the south
west There can be no doubt that a
railroad constructed from Emporia to
the Southwest would be a paying in
stitution, to say the least. The people
of Eldorado are somewhat excited over
the prospect of the early building of the
st. Louis s. Santa Fe Air Line Rail-
road. Should that road be built to FL
dorado it will be absolutely necessary
for Emporia to stop it at that place in
order to secure her portion of the south
western trade. j.

RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE.

Ever since we knew anything about
the operations of railroad companies,
in their transactions with the people,
they have been accused of dishonesty.
Our observations lead us to believe that
in most cases these accusations are
picion on the part of the people, when
any railroad proposition is before them,
that in some way the corporation will
swindle them. This should not be the
case; it is the duty of the railroad COM
panies, i'll all cases, to deal with the peo-
pie fairly and honestly. The interests
of those of the railroads and those of tho
people are identical, and there should
be harmony between them. Railroad
companies should always deal with the
people so as to have their confidence
and support. Those companies who
pursue this policy, come ont the best in
the long run. When railroad compa-
MES make contracts with the people,
by which the latter aided them to con-
struct their lines, they should live up to
their agreements in good faith. They
should not evade, in the least, the letter
or spirit of their agreement. The mo-
ment they do so they meet with the de-
termined opposition of the people, who
are ready to go to any extent to fight
them, and it is right that they should.
The people should. not submit to any
sort of violation of contract by which
they are to be deprived of their rights.
In several of the counties of the State
where bonds have been issued, proceed
ings have lately been commenced to
prevent the payment of railroad taxes.
We are of the opinion that not one of
these suits would have been brought
had the railroad company lived honest
ly up to its contract with the people.
The day is about over when railroad
companies can, with impunity, attempt
to swindle the people. Honesty is the
best policy" applies with as much force
to railroad corporations as to individ-
nails
