FROM CHICAGO WEsTWAkD-THE ROLLING
PRAIRIEs or THE HAwKEYE sTATE-TnE
GULF STREAM OF IMMIGRATION.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. "A consultation
Of time tables before we left Chicago
showed us we could not 20 to Omaha
without remaining there over Sunday,
which we concluded would BE- too great a
bore to.be voluntarily encountered, so We
concluded to turn southwark at Creston
about hundred miles east Of Omaha.
We left Chicago on Thursday night at
half-past 1e, by the Chicago, Burlington
IL Quincy Railroad, and Immediately se-
cured berths in Pullman Sleeping Car
and slept soundly until we reached Oneida
l52 miles from the magnificent L1kr side
city. We had time 30 dress, aud at q ~
Friday morning arrived at Galesburs,
where we obtained a very fair breakfast.
At about $40 Ne crossed tho " Father
Of waters " ON fine bridge, and at > 30
arrived at Burlington, Iowa, ON the west
bank of the Mississippi. Burlington is
au ancient town for this part Of the coun-
try, having been founded so long ago as
1888, up to which time the Indians had
enjoyed the undivided possession Of the
territory.
We rode from . a. m. to 5.j5 ?. IN. from
Burlington TO Creston, 1870 miles, almost
directly west through Iowa. In the it-
teen hundred miles we have thus far
travelled, We have seen nowhere else
such magnificent farming country as
this. II has none Of the monotonv Oh The
dead level Of the Illinois parties. II
there be any place in this country where
at one glance one can see the cattle ON
Il thousand hills" this will he il, though
at present the cattle are lacking. Il is "a
splendid rolling prairie, and We did not
weary during our whole days ride in
looking FROM the ear windows.
The Burlington Route" us it Is
Familiarity called, is one Of the great
thoroughiares of immigration TO the
West, and its friends call ii the Gull
stream of immigratiUn.' II connects
with the Chicago, Blu lingtOn ~ Quincy
| RAILROAD at Burlington, and runs thence
westward TO Council Bulls and Omaha
and has a branch, known Us the "Burling-
ton IL Missouri River Railroad In Ne.
braska," which extends through Ne.
braska to Keamey junction, where il
connects with the Union Pacific Road.
The train we were on appeared to be
crowded all the way along, and in tn,
forward cars were a large number oil
Swedish immigrants bound for Nebraska
TO settle on the Company's lands.
The train was flooded with circulars de

The New York judges seem to be very
vigorously engaged just now in sqlarur
the Interpretation Of the law conccmiug
highways with the dictates Of common
sense, They declare that tho legislature
itself cannot legali1e the use of a public
street for private purposes, aud the muni-
cipal corporation holding the streets in
trust for the public has not shadow Of
legal right to grant to hucksters or others
the right to use a portion Of the street or
sidewalk for purposes Of private ira lie.
This seems to be a perfectly reasonable
decision, but il will, if carried into effect
produce a very sweeping change in many
ways. It would certainly prohibit the
crowding Of the sidewalks with packing
barrels, ,Sc., and the display Of goods in
front Of shops. And suppose il did ; No
one would be at u disadvantage if al
were thus restricted.

You scarcely ever hear man declaim
on the necessity of real reform in politics,
who does not announce as his panacea
for all the Ills the State is heir to, the res
cue Of the control of public affairs from
the hands of the politicians by the people.
Then every thing would be lovely he de-
clares, and clinehes his declaration by
what he believes is an axiom, by exclalm-
ing "the people are all right" 1t would
be well before we build too high a hope on
this, to inquire somewhat carefully into
the foundations of this cheerful faith In
the peoples rectitude of mind and heart.
That they are much nearer right than the
men who enter politics as a profession We
do not doubt, but we greatly fear they do
not entertain so clear an idea Of what
voting means as Is desirable.
In certain portions OF this State, for
Instance, it is well known that many men
sell their votes for a specified sum Of
money, and do so without apparent
shame or conjunction. Most men Will
cry "shame ~ at this, but how many are
there who read these lines who do not
feel that their vote 10 something, they
have a right to give away upon the per
sonal solicitation of a candidate or a can
didate's friend. Yet If mans vote
belongs to him, TO do what he please with
he has morally just as much right to sell
1t as to give It away. fhe truth Of the
matter is that a man'svotei is not species
Of property he has a right TO give to hell
some one along from considerations OIL
friendship or interest, any more than
Judges decision or a jurors verdict IL
such a piece of property. Every either
should feel 1t an imperative duty he owe
to himself and his fellow-men, to vote fo
whatever man is hest Il ted to discharge
the duties Of the office 10 be filled
and be should resent any attempt
TO warp his Judgment or awaken
his Partially for candidates as an imper
thence insulting to his character as
good citizen. Whenever voters come t
consider their duty in the matter of votinl
that no one will dare present to a maj
Of reputable character, any other argu
ment or plea In behalf Of candidate
than that he is the best man for tn
place, we have enough faith in the GOO
intentions Of the masses to accept III
cheering declaration that "the peopl
4" are all right" with confidence.

The New York Hrad keeps up con-
slant agitation on this subject under the
caption of Cesari=m," and cautions its
readers against it as a movement frauCht
with mischief to Republicanism. But
few of the organs of the Republican
party, thus far, have spoken plainly on
the subject, while many Of the Democratic
journals have denounced the idea as pre-
posterous. The following extract from
an article in the Washington RephJlican,
said to be the semi-oilicial organ Of the
administration, will probably "astonish
the natives.' It says;
while the administration occupies this
attitude of entife indifference un the sub
iect, II cannot be denied that the present
landerous warfare lat IL being Weged
upon the President has created strong
feeling In favor ol his denomination among
a large body OF his suWurtcrs-A feeling
that Is as likely 10 sweep the county AS mot
aud give him third term ia the INccutit %
Mansion by q majority more eiWhelmlns
than lac received in 'd3 or - ~
This, from such source, Is rather
significant, aud will no doubt set many
thinking and discussing as to what ought
to be done in the promises A word FROM
the President, however, would settle the
question. The Wathcna (kalsas) Re
porter, a Republican journal, says thai
the precedent set by Washington ha'
become common law, higher than con
stitutional law, and that the party that
would presume 10 ignore this prucipl,
would he buried beyond resurrection
