the great man whose memory is now perpetuated
in ''endurlng bronze" short prayer, three brief

VOW EaR RrSIxESs.

Col. Tom. Scott, the Pennsylvania rail
road king, has secured from Congress all tie
legislation he asked for in relation to his
southern rail road enterprises, and Pittsburgh
psper informs us that it is now his intention
@push the construction of the Texas Pacific
Road with all the energy and resources al
his command. In connection with this great
project We observe that his name appears at
the head of another recently organized enter
prise; hardly less important in IFS objects and
contemplated results-the object Of the move
ment being the development OF the mining
and industrial Interestsof Texas. The names
of four foreign ministers appear upon the
roll OF the stockholders of the association,
while among The directors are some of the
leading capitalists and business men of the
country. A large and effective corps of sur
veyors, under military protection from the
government, is now en- route for the scene Of
operations. Ii Is thought that Texas is ex-
ceedingly rich in mineral resources. Copper
and coal are said TO abound in vast quantities,
with iron, lead, tin, zinc, nickel, cobalt,
antimony, sulphur, salt, and other valuable
deposits. The object Of the expedition is to
develop the existence Of these deposits, as
well as of marble, granite, Limestone, porPhy-
ry, and other useful building material. Aside
from the private benefits which the company
expect to derive from the enterprise, the ex-
petition can hardly fail TO be Of great public
service in opening up the hidden resources
of the vast regions of the Southwest.

HISiNESS Is EISlNES:i.

From notice published in another place,
i. will be seen that the political advertise
men;s during the present campaign must be
paid for, in the papers OF this city, at regular
advertising rates. 1t may seem as though
such a notice were unnecessary, but it is not.
Politicians are too apt TO FORGET that ii costs
money, and great deal Of it at the present
day to run newspapers, and that political adj
vertising is just rs legitimate a part Of pa
per's revenue az the advertise menis of ner-
chants, mechanics and professional men.
We are glad that the press Of this city has
taken the proper s.asd in this matter at an
early day. We commend the subject 10 the
attention of our State Editorial Association,
soon TO assemble at Emporia. Business is
business, and the sooner the papers OF The
State come down 10 a business basis the bet
ter will it be for both them and their snh-
scribers.-LdrsSne Republican journal.
The TINES adopted this rule long ago,
and it works ''like charm" Oar Stree
list has been suspended, in the matter Of
both circulation and advertising, and we
find that while it enables the paper TO make
money, il also causes those who usually do
the "frec riding" to have great deal more
respect fo- us We give of our substance rs
literally as We can, to every worthy o'Jeei,
and then charge for our work Charity for
all, bu: "deld heads" for none.

An OLD THEORY IN DANGER

They have recently enjoyed a moderate
quantity Of rain, in New York, after pro-
tracted and parching drouth, whereupon the
Herald INDUCES in leader on the dry wealth
er, and the freaks of nature, accounting for
the long dry spell upon the commonly accept
ed theory OF the intimate connection of cause
and effect which exists between the growth
of forest trees and TIE fall of rain, and con-
cludes by saying:
twill he well also Cor our national author
tiles to consider whether the time has not
come when vigorous efforts should be made
to replace the forests which, in some instan-
ces, the rash and reckless hand of civilization
have made to disappear from tie face OF the
land. In proportion as our forests have d.
minished our rainfalls have decreased. We
canno, begin too soon TO provide agains'. ii
We canno, prevent, great impending
| calamity.
Now, everybody knows, that, no;wi;h-
standing the wreeklcss, waste Of timber that
has been going on throughout the Atlantic
States for generations past, thsok still
vastly greater proportion of timber land IN
any OF the Els.ern States than in Kansas,
| and vet while the timber" States of the East
have been Turning up under protrac.ed
drouth, several of the prairie States of The
West have been well nigh inundated by con.
tinuous, heavy rains. This is good subject
for the wiseacres to talk about, and seems &c
be rather strong argument against the Tho.
orv that forests promote rainfall.

r.. E.ECronAL COLLEGE.

We notice that some of our exc anSes are
sill Disgusting the question of how many
electors the several States will respectively he
entitled to a; the coming Presidential cle,.
t;on-whe.her the number is governed by
the census of 1860 or that of 1870. The &C.
of Congress of March ., 1872, seems TO settle
the matter beyond question. Tia: act pro-
yides that the number of electors shall be
equal to the number of Senator's and Repre-
sen,atiyes "to which the several States may
be entitled by Law at The time, when the Pres
ident and and Vice President thus to be
chosen shall come into office" From this it
results that each State must have electors
equal to the number Of Senators and Repre-
sentatives to which il ia entitled under the
new appor.ionment for the Forty-third Con.
gres.

The Book Concern Row.

The soene in the Methods. Conference at
New York ye.ierday can only be described
by tie word ''diserace.ul' 1t is difficult to
say which side displayed the most censurable
spirit, DR. Lanahan in his vigorous charac-
terizing of the management OF the Book Con-
Germ as Jail birds, thieves and enbezz!ers, or
his opponents in endeavoring to choke Of de-
bate and keep the air from the sore.
The sympathy Of the public, however, is
undoubtedly with the former, and strongly
those brought BY DIR. Ianahan againts the
Concern-which is really the administration
OF trust in which hundreds of thousands of
people are nieres'ed-should have been met
with a ready hearing and thorough investi-
CATION. Instead Of this, the law was invoked
TO shut the mouth of the accrser and the wit
ne-s became the defendant. For over a year
every possible obstruction has been thrown
in the way OF these seeking an investigation
1t is impossible TO over estimate the harm
thus done by itself to the church both within
und without. Members have leen led to
conclude that they were the sheep Ct the
pasture, the sole purpose for which they
were herded vas that they might be sheared.
The sceptic has becn furnished with new
instance OF Inconsistency IN the Christian
world, and good many people have been
convinced that religion is a sort Of humbug
run tn enrich hypocriies. This mischief has
been in some degree repaired. though tardily,
and We are glad to see that there has been
appointed a committee to thoroughly inves-
tigate the charges There yet remains one
thing to he done, however: TO hold the in
vestigation in a formal manner and to per-
nit no doubt TO be cast upon the bona 6de
character of its proceedings. Too frequently
ecclesiastical tribunals are only called TO
acquif, to psllia,e, or to hush up; and almost
invariably the laws OF order, custom and
common sense are outraged in their procee-
dings. 1t is to be hoped that the promised
investigation may prove an agreeable excep-
ton to the general rule, and accomplish L.
Ultimately It's object, regardless of persons or
results. t.r. SOFA ~

Railroad Consolidation.

The process Of railway consolidation con-
tinues. The latest, If not the most impor.
tant step in this direction is the Union of the
Illinois and Indiana branches Of the Louis
vile, New Albany & 81. Louis Air Line
Railway. The Illinois Company transfers
its franchises and capital to the amount of
$3.50, 600 to the Air Line road, the capital
stock of which is S2,05I, 100. The capital
of the consolidated company is to consist of
5000, 900. The effect of this arrangement
will be to place the two roads under single
management, and it is expected that the en-
tire road from Loui,ville 10 Mount Vernon,
ILL.,, a distance OF one hundred and ninety
miles. will be completed at the close of the
present year. The road is through rich
and fertile district Of country, and its COM
pleiion Is likely TO prove highly advanta-
geous TO the business interests Of Louis
vile.
Another more impoIton. amalgamaiion
scheme is now pending, and is a result of
the active competition between the powerful
Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Companies for a through independ-
ent line between Washington and New York.
TIE Pennsy lvania Company has opened ne
gotiations Tor the lease OF the Phiadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad on basis
Of guarantee Of the eigh, per cent. divi-
dends now realized by the latter compapy.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Company insist on guarantee
Of ten per cent. interest.
But the Pennsylvania Company is
likely to ab!ain the lease Cd its own terms, rs
il contemplafes the alternative of building
branch connecting line, forty one miles long,
between Washington and the Pennsylvania
trunk line. This opens the contingency Of 4
new competing line, not only with the Phila-
delphis, Wilmington and Baltimore, but also
With the Baltimore and Ohio Company.
This movement ia another phase of the
rivalry between the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pennsylvania Company for an independ-
ent through line from Washington to New
York. The Pennsylvania Company has
thrown the new charter Of the Stanhope and
New York Railroad Company passed by the
New Jersey Legislature into litigation. II
claims that the clause under which the Balti-
more and Ohio Company derive authority to
build new railroad to New York across
New Jersey is fraudulent Interpolation on
the bill a it actually passed and the one
copied BY the engros-ing clerk. On this
ground On injunction is to be applied for, and
y that ease the question may be delayed for
months. If not years, in the courts.

more Company will probably be compelled
