that the mawkish sentimentality which
causes some ex-confederates to look up
on them as in some sense heroes will
cease. If they are to be judged by the
atrocious acts of their companions, the

their old comrades for money. Let them
be a%pprehended or driven from the coun-

THE NARROW GAUGE,

Immediately on the publication OF the
last timetable by the Narrow Gauge
railroad, we pointed out the TACT that 1t
disseminated very materially against
Lexington, as it allowed passengers but
a little over one hour in this place,
whilst it permitted them something like
six hours in Kansas City. We are glad
to know that from next Tuesday this
will be remedied, and that a train will
arrive here at about 10 o'clock a. M,
and leave at about 3 o clock p. m., there
by giving passengers five hours to trans
act business. This will be 4 great I'M
proyement, and will accommodate q
large number of people and increase
the passenger travel on the road very
considerably. From MIR. Walker Buck
uer. who IS a director of the road, and
who called on us last Wednesday, we
are pleased to learn that the prospects
for business on the road are very bright
indeed. He informs US that there are
being shipped about fifteen cars Of coal
a day from the vicinity of Lexington,
and that the number will Don be n
siderably increased, as there is more de-
mand for cars than the company can at
present supply. BY to-day the company
will have sc coal cars, 20 new ones hav-
ing arrived during the last few days.
With this complement they will be en-
abled to furnish about 20 cars per day.
The company proposes to have as many
coal cars as the trade will need, and will
supply them as fast as they are demand
ed. but desire, of course, to gon little
slow, as cars cost a good deal of money
and they might overdo the thing, which
is not desirable for a young corporation
on its first legs. The road is doing well
in passengers, the trains being well
filed daily.
Owing to the ~parsimonious and short
sighted policy of the board of aldermen
at Kansas City in refusing the road
right of way over property which this
road has done much to enhance invalue'
and which is already partly occupied by
another road, the Narrow Gauge is cu1
off from the Union Depot, and the man
uf~acturing establishments of Western
Kansas City which debars it from a large
trade in coal, which it could otherwise
have, and from facilities for delivering
grain to the elevators. As a means O.
protection against this measure so tar al
it effects its grain interests, the Mario"
Gauge has made arrangements to bullt
An elevator at its junction with tho Mis-
souri, Pacific at Independence. and vii
make low and favorable rates with ship
pers-to St. Louis. We hope that tn
Kansas City board of aldermen will SCI
the error of their way in the matter an
make haste to rectify their mistake b,
granting the necessary right of way
Don't stand in your own light, gentle
men, especially when you get in + a
the same time.

The editor Of the Register thinks that
he needs no lessons on elevated journal
ism from US. Here is a sample OF his
style of courteous discussion of political
subjects. 1t is written in regard to an
editorial which appeared in the Intelli-
gencer of November 18th, entitled 1.-The
colored voter"
SIT appears as an editorial, but it was not
written by any one who has been editing that
paper. The man who wrote it is not q knave,
for he is not smart enough. The man who has
the cheek to come before the public in an at
+nm-r to nroye that the dHmocratlc party is the
friend to the colOred man, Is LII no a--.~- -
being called anything else than q fool"
The good book tells US that he who
calleth his brother a fool shall be damned.
We can at least look tor a mar who has
no better style of argument than this. to
come to grief OF his logic. In this lu-
macy of ours we have the distinguished
company of e1-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsyl-
yania, who said. in L recent interview
in New York,
''The relations between the whites and blacks
IN the south are Qulte Inherent from the relations
of the two races i'll the north. There they un-
derstsna each other, and it is true that the wall
