1.-THE FOLLY OF KANSAS"

We have been requested to republish an
editorial article which appeared in THE
TINES of May 18th. The article was enti-
tied "The Folly of Kansas" and evoked
many comments from the press Of the State,
and at the same time sounded warning
that will hardly 60 unheeded. Since that
time, however, the A., T. & S. F. 4. X.
folk turned their attention from Kansas City
to ST. Joseph. The following is the article
in question:
1t is to be hoped that the strenuous efforts
of Kansas City 10 induce the AichisOn, 10
peka & Santa Fe Railroad Company to build
q track from the main line of the road into
that town, have been observed by Ksnsans in
general, and the citizens of Leavenworth and
Atchison in particular. To state it briefly,
it il another movement TO divert business
from Kansas to Missouri movement to
enrich town in another State with trade
that lesitimaiely belongs to kaneas. Take
the business from Kansas Citv that roads
built by the bonds and bounty Of Kansas
give it, and there would be nothing of the
place. Already millions Of dollars belong
ing to cities on Kansas soil have gone "a
build I'D towns that add nothing to the
wealth of the State. Had the
Kansas Pacific and L. L. 4 G. roads been
built and operated a. the laws, under which
they Obtained bonds and lands contemplated,
Kansas to-day would lave ten million dollars
more taxable property than che now pos
sesses. The movement to secure branch Of
the Atchisan, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
to Kansas City is only the preliminary of a
movement to secure the main line, and take
from Atchison the trade of the southwest re-
eion. Atchison would not be alone in the
loss. The whole State would lose. Kansas
in her railroad rolicy is repeating the his
tory of Iowa. That State containing more
than a million inhabitants, and rich beyond
description in agricultural resource, cannot
point to city within her borders that con-
tains population Of $1,000 people. Much
surprise ia manifested that Iowa has no great
metropolis like Illinois, Missouri or Ohio
and yet it should excite no surprise, since II
il plain enough that Iowa's rail system IL one
that builds up Chicago without rendering
Iowa anything like an adequate return.
The markets of Kansas could be made n
desirable q the markets of Missouri, if they
were fed BY the leading railroads traversins
the State. But the questions which over
shadow everything else, are thoee which
concern the future of Kansas. Shall the
State grow up as mere feeder OF Missouri
cities? Shall millions of dollars be drained
from the State every year and invested in
towns and cities that contribute nothing to
the wealth OF Kaneas?
The time is coming when the people will
discuss these questions thoughtfully. If

reason that it is too early, but foot notes Of

such seasons, the cut worm, has commenced
extensive operations and thrsatens to greatly
damage the crop.

PRINCIPLES AND DUTIES TO BE TAUGHT
l. That Thorough cleanliness, domestic
and civil, and an abundant supply Of pure
water, are essential measures OF preventing
cholera in any household when the disease
Is near.
9. That general cleansing, scavengerine
and disinfection should be attended to in
every city and town before cholera makes iss
appearance; and that wherever il does sp-
| pear, that house and the exposed premis0
should be kept constantly disinfecsed.
1 g. That in the words Of the Chief Msdi-
! cal Officer Of Great Britain, ''It appears to
be characteristic Of cholera, nos only Of the
disease in its developed and alarming form,
but equally Of the slightest diarrhoea which
the epidemic can produce, that all nsaiteFs

The Supposed uurderer of General
HIndniSn Arrested LA thts city
Secrecy I'm Police circles at Pres
emit.
A rumor went floating throughout the
city this morning TO the effect that q
white man had been arrested by Chief
Athy on the charge of being the assassin
of General Hindman at Helena, Arkan-
sas, some four years ago. Our sensa-
tional reporter went to work to dig up
the important item. After interviewing
several officials without being success
full, be visited the Office of the polite and
affable Chief Of Police Athy, when the
following conversation ensued:
Reporter-Chief, understand you
have arrested a white man who is be-
lieved to be the murderer Of General
Hindman. Is it true?
Chief-Yes. A man was arrested last
Saturday on that charge by me.
Reporter-Do you feel at liberty to
furnish information at present with
reference to the facts ia the case and
the proof as developed against the
prisoner
Chief-I cannot furnish any items of
information at present, for reasons well
known to reporters as well as officers.
The matter is being investigated, and in
few days publication will be made of
all the facts connected with the case.
At present | desire that no publication
be made.
Reporter the information | desire
is for publication. have heard several
Of the facts outside, and saw some weeks
since q communication in Little Rock
paper stating that some lady in Helena
had received series OF letters stating
that General Hindman had not been
killed for political reasons, but was killed
by a white man who was hired to do
the deed in order TO avenge a wrong
done to seine family by General Hind
man, he having been charged with i'm
proper intimacy with some female
member of the family.
Chief-I have seen that communion
ton, and have been on the lookout for
several weeks, but what proof | have in
my possession or within reach, cannot
disclose at present.
Our reporter, finding the Chief deter
mined not to develop any Of the facts
until certain steps or legal proceedings
were taken in the case, left. 1t suffices
to know that tne important arrest has
been made, and that it is believed
the right man has been captured. His
name is even kept a secret, but we can
promise that when full publication is
made most curious and startling devel-
opments will come to light. such as will
present bloody chapter of crime. In
the above, nothing is published that our
reporter obtained from the Chief under
the rule of professional secrecy.
