Ko0aaS Railroads.

There ie, growing oct of several consider
atoms, strong feeling of hostility 10 rail-
roads existing in many parts Of our State.
1t has its origin not nearly 20 much in the
belief that the railroads are extortionate in
their transportation charges n in the fact
that many of them have shamefully abused
the confidence of the people who generously
aided them, and of the State to whose bounty
they owe their existence. There ought to be,
in railroad companies a. in individuals, 4
descent regard for the spirit a. we'll rs the
letter of contracts. And when . railroad
built mainly BY the aid of eubsidies given for
internal improvements in Kansas, and OF
bonds voted BY Kansas cities and counties, is
80 run rs to divert trade from Kansas, and
to break down rather than to build up Kan
sas towns and interests, it d natural that the
people of this Safe should entertain no feel
ing Of friendship for the lines guilty Of such
eroas ingratitude and shameles injustice.
The A. T. 4 s. F. Company has done
nothing of this kind, and We do not believe

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Susan Il. AnthOny's Latest Tri.
umph.
Case Transferred to Another
County.

1t is now evident that Susan Z. Anthony
has gained another advantage in the lega
movemen. TO secure women the right o
franchise, That lady stumped the county il
which Rochester is situated, and made hel
csuse so many friends among the people
tina, the Government very pruden.ly trans
-fers the trial of her case from Monroe 10 an
other county. The Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle thus speaks OF the victory:
If Miss Anthony has converted every mar
in Monroe county to her views of the snf.
frage question, as the District Attorney init.
mates in his recent effort to have her case
adjourned, it is pretty good evidence
every man in Monroe county is a fool-thai
the lady has done no wrong. ''Her cast"
remarks the Auburn Bulletin, "will proba.
bly, be carried over to another term, and all
she mas to do is to canvass and convert an.
other county. A shrewd woman that.
Again We say, she ought to vote"
The Rochester Express says:
United States District Attorney Crowley IL
gallant gentleman, as gallant, indeed as
district attorneys can afford TO be, but he con-
fesses himself no match for Miss Anthony.
That lady has stumped Monroe county in be-
half of impartial suffrage, and it appears
that the government very prudently declines
To give her case to a jury in this county.
The fact il, j. is morally certain that no jury
could be obtained in Monroe that would con-
vict the lady of wrong doing in voting,
while it is highly probable that four juries
out of five would acquit her. 1t is under
stood, of course. that the court and prosecut-
ing officers are merely fulfilling their official
functions in recognizing this departure from
the ordinary practice at the polls, but would
feel as deeply astonished at a verdict OF
guilty as the general public. The District
Attorney is fortunate il having as contest

herr, in this friendly little duel, lady who

sense. courage and ability; and We are Ger.
tain that after this tournament is adjourned
he will accept, with his usual urbanity, the
aid of ladies' ballots to liz him to some 9TH

be more widely known.

They be talking down in the village
about you marrying Will Drayton, and
Just came up to hear the truth of it, Nellie,
from your own lips"
Bu, with scarlet cheek and dropping eyes,
Nellie stood still without answering him.
''Si!ence Is the same a. words, some
