This bankruptcy transaction Ntss

This thing Of forcing railroads into
bankruptcy is becoming quite com
mon. just few days ago, j. y
Shelby and others forced the Clinton
and Kansns City branch OF the Tcb,
and Neosho railroad into bankruptcy
and now j, 0. Shelby, tho President
of the Lexington road, is compelled
| to seek the company of those whom
he sought 10 place in delicate situa
ton. There is evidently something
wrong in the management of oul
roads. The people are ground to th'
earth to meet the taxes on thei
bonds voted to the railroads, Will
the amounts voted were in full e
the demands r quired Of them; ye
only year or two passes befor
some contingency arises and tn
roads are forced into bankrupter 10
debt. An eastern monopoly, with
plcthoric force, enjoys the situation
and on sale, which comes sooner q
later. tho ronds, with all their bond
and franchises, are Knocked oil IL
a mere song.
We feel Justified in saying that it
our belief that the movo toward Ill
Lexington railroad is made Mt Il
, insrigation of the Atlantic and Pacif
for the purpose of being swallowc
up in this vast monopoly, and as o,
county has large interest in II
road, it would be well that tho guar
, ians of the taxpayers keep wait
over future movements in that dire
tion.

Annexation Sugsested.

A Washington dispatch of the Goth
ult., says:
Gov. McCook ofColorado territory.
who was minister resident at Homo
lulu prior to Gen. Grants admins
tra,i0n, is of the opinion that if our
government wants to annex the
islands, 1t can be done now without
much difficulty. If our present
minister there shows any sort Of
management, he can control matters.
The English and French ministers
arc absent on leave. There was no
foreign vessels of wari the Hawaiian
waters, except American, and in i
departments of the government OF
the kingdom the Americans have the
asccndency. The principal opponent
to the annexation of the islands to the
United States was the dead King
Kamehameiia. In his youth hc hal
visited this country and unfortunate.
! ly the treatment received was not ol
IL character to prepossess him in our
favor. Being a colored man and
travelling inro.ni.o, he was in many
| instances subjected to indisnitics
| which he never forgot. In n conver.
| SallOU '" "CH litSOoN, w
| was minister resident, OIL the subject
! of annexation, Kamenalncha stated
| that as king he received 4 salary much
larger than that of the president OF
the United States-some forty thou
sand dollars per annnm-not to spcak
OF the privileges of his position rs
sovereign. With annexation, he
said, ,as an accomplished fact he would
become q very ordinary citizen OF
the United States. He preferred, OF
course, to remain king. This was
lhis position. The sentiments of his
subjects, or at least the most influ-
entail portion of them, were more
favorable 10 the United States aud
the annexation but while Knmeha.
mcha lived, the question was not ag'
Iitated. shortly before his death tho
king expressed desire to visit the
limited States. for what purpose is
not known; but the fact was com
munica,ed to Mr.. Pearce, our minis
ter resident at Honolulu, who in
formed his government. The resul,
was that the United States steamer
California was ordered to procect tt
the Sandwich Islands for the purpose
of briuyin. the king here. Tint yes
sci is now on her way there undel
the original order, and not, as ha'
been stated, to protect the interest:
of American citizens. II is not
known what course the administers
lion will pursue, but it is not improb
able that. in view of the importance
, of1ho Islands SO the United States, i
n favorable opportunity offers, al
annexation will at least be invited.

"AEd now think of ono, who in
