OUR VISITORS FROM KANSAS.

\ party To the number of one hundred |
md fifty, composed Of members Of the Mis- |
'ouri Valley Press Association, prominent |
citizens Of the State of Kansas, and
;prinkling Of lady friends, arrived liz our
city Yesterday by the afternoon train. The |
visit was anticipated TO some extent, but it
came more suddenly upon us than was ex-
pected. Elsewhere in to-day's Ne,,s will be
found personnel of the party, from which
some idea may be CLEANED of its import
ance.
The object which the party has in view
in making the visit to the gulf coast COM
bines both pleasure and search after in
if we are correctly informed. Our
readers are pretty well aware by this time
as to the interest lately manifested in GER
tain portions of the Wet as to the practi-
cability Of gulf outlet for the produce of
that region. The present party is but fol-
lowing up the line of action adopted by sew
eral others that have preceded it within the
past year. To the people OF the region from
whence our visitors hail, cheap Transports
ton and lessened distance to an outlet
are all-important considerations. Once
they discover that such is possible to be
had by concert of action, they are not
likely to stop short Of successful accom-
plishment. Some conception Of the inter-
est manifested over this object IN the West
tuay be had by consultation Of the char
acter of the party now in our city. Such
people do not leave their homes and their
business upon chimerical hap-hazard. Ii
