CIR RAILROAD KsTExEsrs,


Several Of our railroad enterprises are
Ianguishing on account of the hard
times. The Inflated Memphis and Sell
ma road at present is only a monument
of failure. The road to Paducah is still
unfinished. The proposed road from
Memphis TO Bolivar, through Middle
Tennessee to Knoxville, may not have
fallen through, but it is certainly Ian
gushing. Twelve months Of prosperity,
however, will give a new impetus to all
these great and important enterprises
Nor do we despair of the ultimate COM
pletion Of the. Memphis and Kansas
City railroad. This enterprise, like the
Holly Springs road, is entangled with
complications which seem almost end
less, but its completion Is a mere ques-
ton Of time. In discussing this road,
the Kansas City T5BacS.ssys: care the
people Of Kansas City prepared to
abandon all hopes at present OF having
a railroad to Memphis? Have they be-
come so interested in a factious war
among themselves that they thus allow
10 psss away the prospects for the grand
est enterprise. that our city has ever I'M
dertaken? Instead OF moving forward
year after year, are veto stand still, or
worse, to retrogrsde and spend our time
in cutting each others throats? Had
any one pTedictei,such future for Kali
sas City four years ago he would have
been pronounced a fit subject for a luna
tic asylum, but now, from appearances,
he might be considered as having been
endowed with prophetic vision.
We hardly know whether it is a pro-
pitious time to attempt a revival of pub
lie interest in the completion Of the Mem
phis railroad, or whether, ifsucb an inter
est could be awakened, it is possible for
anything tangible to be effected. But
it occurs to US that it is time our people
were doing something else besides bick-
ering and. quarrelings among themselves,
and there is no enterprise that is
Of so much vital importance to our city
as the completion Of this road, or upon
which 3 united effort could be so readily
Jackson county has already
invested three hundred thousand dollars
in it; Cass as much. more, and Henry
and st. Clsir each large amounts.
In this county, at least, we are
paying interest on the bonds |

THE position Of the APPEAL on the
subject OF the city and STATE debt is 80
plain that we are astonished that it
should be misunderstood by any one.
We have said agsia and again, that if
any bonds have. been Illegally and fraud
ulently Issued by the city, and if there
is any legal defense, that these defenses
should be made before the courts of the
country; and whatever decision the
courts may make should be faithfully
carried into execution. That portion Of
the letter from the Protective union ad-
vising the use Of all legal means to re-
duce the debt of the city, we indorse; but
that portion advising resistance to the
decision Of the courts we did not and do
not now indorse. We have known from
the beginning that the portion of the
new charter limiting the rate of taxation
to pay interest on the bonds was uncon-
stitutional, and would be so held by the
courts. This repudiating clause in the
new charter has been the main cause OF
our late financial troubles, and has given
rise to the applications for writs of man.
dGnauS, and will, we fear, prevent an
smicable arrangement of the debt in
such manner as to relieve the city.
We say also, in regard to the State
debt, that if any bonds are fraudulent,
let them be rejected; but no man Of any
sense will have the hardiheod now to as.
sert that any of the outstanding State
bonds ale either illegal or fraudulent.

benefit therefrom. With even a hun.
dred miles Of the road completed We
would secure an immense local trade,
tut as it stands, 1t is not worth nickel
to Kansas City. The completion OF the
road 10 Memphis would fix and assure
this place as the great grain and provis-
ion market Of the new west-a future
well worth any efforts to attain. But
can our people be induced to take the
necessary steps and make the united
effort that will be necessary to accom-
plish such desirable result? We be-
lieve there is enough OF interest and
feeling among the people on the subject
II it could be awakened and any tan
gible course could be pointed out.
What that course should be the Times
is unable to suggest. II has occurred
to US that it might be possible
for the county court to suggest
conference with the courts of
the other counties, and if cooperation
could be obtained, some steps might be
taken to extricate the ENTERPRISE from its
unfortunate condition: Our court has
lstely proved its efficiency and compe-
tency to handle such questions, by the
favorable arrangements it effected with
the narrow-gauge company, and why
may il not do as much in regard to the
Memphis road? 1t is not matter Of
considering the granting of more aid,
but Of seeing whether Jackson and
the other counties cannot realize some
thing from what has already been put
in the enterprise. There may be some
feasible plan, and II any such be sug-
gested, the Times will promise its hearty
aid and cooperation. 1t would be the
sheerest folly to dream Of securing fur
ther aid from these counties, but is it
not possible, by cooperating, they could
offer some inducements-such,f for in.
stance, as q donation Of their stock-to
a company to complete the road? 1t is
at least worth an effort on the part of
our people and the court, and unless we
are to abandon all hopes of ever build
ing the road, it is time such an effort
was being begun"

Editors Of the Register;

Editors Of the Register:
| desire TO inform all who are unac-
quainted with the fact and especially
physicians, that the health ordinance re.
Quires every case of smallpox or varioloid
to be reported to the Health Officer, by
the attending physician, if there be one;
otherwise by the head of the family IL
which the case occurs. II this Is not done
within twelve hours after the disease Is
known to exist, fine of twenty dollars
and costs may be imposed. This proViS-
ion of the law will be enforced IN every
case that may arise, rs it is very lmpor-
tant that every case OF smallpox
or varioloid be early made known, that
measures to prevent the spread OF the
disease may be adopted. AS yet, there
is no cause for alarm, rs only three cases
exist in the city, one OF smallpox ana
two OF varioloid, both the latter very
mild. 1t is important for the people u
know, however, that many OF the GiI'y9 i,
and towns with which we are III d"l'y
direct communication, have Dech Io'
weeks, infected with this disease ANY
citizen is in constant danger OF contract
ing it. unless well protected oy I"cclil"-
tion. by meeting in the street, or IN some
n,,Ii,c gathering, person who may have
came from an infected town; possibly n
copyslescent, whose person or clothing
has not been properly cleaned and freed
from the poison. The origin Of two of
the cases above referred to cannot at all
be traced. This shows the Importance
OF thorough protection, which can
easily, quickly and surely be had by vacci
nation and re vaccinatl)n. II We persist
III neglcctng this, we have none but cur
selves to blsme if our city Is visited with
u smallpox epidemic. This l do not "p-
prehend at present, but am s'rc we will
not have anything Of the kind II the
head of every family does his or her
duty in looking after the private welfare
of the household. And | venture the
suggestion that mill owners, and others
having control of large numbers OF men,
should insist on the revacciRation of every
one in their employ. 1t is not enough
that these men and others were Yacclna-
ted in childhood. This often fails to
protect the adult A successful vacclna-
ton now will thoroughly protect.

Democrats Want No Third Term:

Mr.. Springer, of Illinois offered the
following resolution, and moved the pre-
yous question on its adoption:
ResotUed, That in the opinion Of this
House the president established by
Washington IN other presidents OF the
the United States, in retiring from the
presidential Office after their second term
has become part Of our Republican
system of Government, and that de-
parture from this time honored custom
would be unwise, unpatriotic and trough
with peril to our free institutions.
The previous question was seconded
and the resolution ordered adopted. Icas
232, nays l8.
Other bills and resolutions were also
introduced and referred and the House
adjourned until Friday next.
The House has adopted 2lS to 33 rcso-
lutions offered by Mr.. Holman, pledging
the House against railroad and other sub
sides IN money lands or endowment.
The House is now voting on reSoIu-
tion against Presidential third term.
The vote on the third term resolution
was 232 to l8.
The House has agreed to adjourn over
next Monday till Tuesday, January lth.
