The Upson and anti Upson factions are having lively controversy. The "Ray'' is the medium through which their thoughts are expressed. Two or three columns of this paper are filled eack week with various opinions about things, relat- ing mostly to the affairs of our two churches. The statements are contradict ory and vindictive. Some sharp hits are given and many foolish things are written. We are grieved that so much Spirit of D diabolical nature is manifested. If the authors of these communications would reflect awhile, we think the space they occupy would be left to more profitable matter. Perhaps it is all for the best; for employment for some is amusement for others. and the Ray" gathers snbscri- bers.

visit from bishop bowman

This distinguished divine of the
M. Z. church paid EmpOria a visit
on Monday. He went west to Pea
body on Saturday to dedicate the
new church At that place, and re-
turning Monday morning, yielded
to the urgent invitations of old and
valued friends here, and stopped
over q day. He was the guest of
Rev. A. II. Walter. He also visited
DIR. j. j. Wright's and j. B. Hinkle's
families, with whom he was former
ly acquainted in Indiana, and the
latter of whom is said to have con-
siderable Methodist "leanings." In
the evening Of Monday an Informal
reception was held at the capaciOus
residence of minister Walter, where
many of our citizens had the pleas
ure of meeting the honOred and
good Bishop. He is g gentleman of
the most excellent social qualities,
ofthe highest order of conversation
al powers, and as unostentaciOus as
the humblest member of the great re-
ligious body he has done So much
to build up in the Union. Besides his
thirty-fiVe years OF ministerial labor
in every stage from the itinerant TO
the Bishop, he was fifteen years
president of Asbury University, at
Greencastle, lad, and 2 years chap
lain of the U. S. Senate. The great
cause of education lies near his no.
BILE heart, and he took charge of AS
bury when it was struggling for an
existence, and made it one of the
most foremost institutions in the
West. From the position of presi-
dent of that college Bishop Bowman
was ca led, at the general conference
of his church three years ago, to his
present high and responsible posi-
ton. He was elected to it by the
largest vote ever cast for any man
for that office, which fact shows moi
only his sterling qualities, but his
justly bestowed popularity with ihC
church throughout America. Nc
man in the West is more affection
ately esteemed. He is IS years o.
age, but looks as fresh and vigorous
+ and feels as young as when he wa
forty. We predict that without &C
cident he will have on "the armor'
: when he arrives sT the advanced agt
of the revered Bishop Scott, and b
} found performing like active dutie
I at seVenty-five. So we devoutl!
= wish. The Bishop now resides q
Q st. Louis, and has promised to visi
us again. Whenever he sees Fl
8 to do so he will meet with
{ hearty reception from the people o
J. EmpOria, and especially from thOs
: who had the pleasure OF making hi
8 acquaintance on his recent visit.

THE FREIGHT QUESTION
AGAIN,

Lyon county has for five years
paid its two railroads SOS, 900 q year
as their bonus for coming here, in
stead of going through some ada
cent county. And in all probability
it will keep on paying this yearly
bonus for fifty years TO come. But
allow that by the operation Of 8
sinking fund, which soon ought to
be formed, the county railroad
bonds of 100000 are paid off with.
in % years from the time they were
issued. Say that they are cancelled
in 1895. Let us see the amount OF
cash which the county treasury
pays out to the railroads in that
time. $4,000 interest for twenty
i've years is 100000. Add an av-
erAge interest of six per cent. to
this $7O0, 600, and the total interest
paid by our taxpayers to the rail.
roads, will be $4,000. Add the
principal, 100000, and the grand
aggregate is $l,l42,O0O, which IL
bound to come out Of the pockets o.
the people of Lyon county by 1895
and go into the pockets Of the rail
road companies, or whoever holds
the bonds. 1t is immaterial to the
taxpayers who gets the money, &C
long as they have to pay it. The
bonds were given to the railroads
and they did Whatever ti.ey thOugh
best with them.
A county which pays this enor
nous amount in order to secure the
low freights and fares which gen
orally arise from railroad cOmpeIi
tion, has q right to expect low fare,
and low freights. If it does not gel
lower rates with two railroads thar
other places do with one railroad,
1t is evidently swindled out OF a
least what IL pays for the extra rail
road. This year the swindle is 81
palpable and outrageous that il will
not do to keep quiet about 1t. Thii
is q serious matter. In the yea
1873 corn was shipped from Fan
poria to St Louis for $40 per car
or little over IL cents per bushel
The railroad companies then claim
ed that they were obliged to chArg'
IL cents per bushel because they die
not have enough to ship to keep al
their cars in full use. 1t costs us
said these railroad magnates, nearly
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1875-09-03

as much TO run cars empty as 1t does
to run them full. If there was corn
enough to keep all our cars in full
use, we could afford to carry it for
considerably less than IL cents per
bushel, because, for about the same
expense, we would have far larger
receipts. When you Kansas far
mers give as grain enough to keep
our cars in full operation, then we
will give you low freights.
Well, the farmers thought this
might be reasonable, and were sat-
isfied that the railroads intended to
use them fairly, and consequently
did not favor the various projects
gotten up for more railroads and
more bonded Indebtedness. They
were paying already $4,000 per
year for their railroad blessings, and
thought that was quite enough. In
1874 there was no crop to ship out,
and not much change in rates. In
1875 the crop was by early summer
found to be far the largest ever rais-
ed in the State. Il was evident that
there would be twice, yes, five times
the amount of grain for the rail-
roads to transport, than in any pre-
vious year. There have been excel
lent crops prior to '73, but this year
the area was so large, aud the sea-
son so favorable. that the crops ex-
coed all previous record. The rail-
roads saw they would have plenty
Of business to do, that their freight
cars would be In fall use. Now, Of
course, the time had come for them
to give low freights. Now they
are crowded with business, and
could give the farmers a chance to
get good price for their grain, and
get out of debt, and improve theil
land. Now was the chance for these
railroads, built with the peoples
money, and endowed with vast
tracts of the public domain, to bG
just, liberal, and honest. toward the
people, and particularly toward sucl
