the branch line of the X. P. r. r. 1t dis

the attention of Major Crowell should be
directed to the delinquency.

We, of Southwestern Kansas, desire to
trade with the people OF Texas. We desire
unobstructed thoroughfares to that State,
over which we may travel, and drive our
stock, and carry our productions with safe
ty to life and property. But how is it ?
Ii We venture on direct route between the
States of Kansas and Texas, We are met by
lousy, thieving tribe Of Indians that claim
tribute for passing over their sacred soil /.
and the penalty of refusing is assassination
and contiscation of property by stealing it /.
Far better ii England, or even Mexico, held
dominion over that country. 1t is certain
ly mistaken and an evil policy in our our
Government to thus fetter, and prohibit free
commerce between the States, by refusing
the right of way over this Territory for pub
lie thoroughfares. That Government which
first looks 10 the interests of its own sub
jects, and secures them in the enjoyment of
unrestricted legitimate, social and COM
