THE TINE FOR ACTION.

1t is important that every great move
ment should be made not only in the right
way but at the right time, and if Leaven-
worth proposes to become the centre OF the
system of narrow gauge railroads inevita-
bly to be built in this state during the next
few years, it is all important that she
should move in the matter nor. II the
proper effo,t is put forth at the present time
there is nothing to stand in the way Of the
accomplishment of all We hope for, but
delay of sixty days, or even thirty days,
may make it too late-the opportunity
which is now presenting itself may be past,
some other town may step in and gather
the fruit, and leave us to upbraid ourselves
again for having permitted another good
chance to pass unir,proved.
Everybody admits that the next few
wears are to witness the construction OF a
more or less extensive system of narrow
gauge roads in this state, our state
legislation Of late has been very friendly
TO work of this character, AID hiss been
framed with the view Of encouraging the
construction of such roads. They are com
paratively cheap, both in their construction
and operation, and are therefore peculiarly
adapted to the wants Of this country. A
road upon the three foot gauge can be built
and successfully operated through new
country, where neither the resources Of the
people nor the demands Of business would
Justify or support the construction OF one OF
the heavier lines, and vet the narrow gauge
will effec,ually meet all the business de-
mands of this country at the present time,
and for many years to come hence the at
ten,ion Of the people in all those sections
of the state not already furnished with rail-
road facilities, is directed toward the mar
row gauge-even though they could get q
road of the broad gauge, they prefer to
have the other, because it is a cheaper line
to build, and as the cost Of building must
be borne, in the end, directly or indirectly,
by the people Of the country through which
the road runs. this is a very imports ant rea-
son, and another, equally important, is that
the cost of operating it, sfter it is built, is
much less, and it is thus enabled to carry
passengers and freight at lower rates than
can possibly be done by the broad gauge
road.
But il is not necessary to enumerate all
the reasons why these roads are to be built.
That the construction OF such a system Is
to be commenced in Kansas, in 4 very
short time, is conceded fact, and the only
question for us to consider nos is, shall We
draw the lines to Leavenworth and make
this city the centre Of the system, or shall
We stand still until some other point has
carried of the prize?

A RECOGNITION OF BOTH ELE-
AENTS.

There have been = great many things OF
late in connection with the present admin
istration that havel been bothering the
Bourbons-not exactly things which were,
but things which were to be. i, was
claimed that if Mr.. Tilden got in that i'm

and the South, . general embracing asd
making up, - it were, would follow; that
partisan strife and the bitter hatred Of po-
l;tical factione would be heard of NO more;
that the colored man would be q
free from the attacks of the bulldoser a
is South Africa from the aleet and snow of
Greenland; but just how this was to have
been brought about our Bourbon friends did
not condescend to inform ua 1t isavell-
known fact that the party Mr.. Tilden rep
resents has been the advocate of slavery
since that party fnt saw the light; that it
was the means Of engendering the bitter
strife which has existed between the races
since the close Of the var, and it has never
been its policy to heal up the old sor.s occa-
sioned by the rebellion, . child of its own
fostering. Just how this admirable policv
OF reconciliation and reform Wa 10 Be- car.

TEE CITY ELECTION.

Both of the political parties are now in
the 6eld With calls for conventions, to be
held in the course of week, for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination candidates
for the several city Offices, to be supported
by the people, At the ensuing April elec-
lion. Although two tickets will be placed
in the field under party auspices, there will
be no political significance in the result Of
the election. for the people have pretty gem
orally made up their mind, that mans
fitness for the position to which he aspires
is . matter Of vastly more importance, in
filling our city Offices, than the candidste's
political affiliations, or his opinions upon
national subjects. And in this, Is in all
other matters of Iublic interest, The TIxB
is in sympathy with the people. There is
no more reason Why Republicanism or De-
mocrscy should BE- taken into account in
selecting . man to be mayor Of Leav-
enwortn, than in the choosing
Of . church deacon, and 20 far
o. We are concerned We propose to give
very little weight to such considerations.
II the Republican convention noninates
better men for all the positions to be filled
than the Democratic convention, We shall
support the Republican ticket throughout
but where there 10 an incompetent or IN
worthy man on the Republican ticket, and
= good man put forward for the came posi-
ton By the Democracy, We shall support
the Democratic nominee, and il both par
ties put Up bad men We shall support IN
independent candidate. We maize this
plain statement Of our intention previous to
the meeting Of either convention in order
that our positioa may not be nisundsr-
stood. We do not propose to be driven BY
the cry of party" into the support Of any
nan Who il unsorthy or unfit for Tie poi
ton to which be aspires, especially in .
ease Of this kind where there il notAine

limited by the Bourbons that
had Tilden succeeded he would have re-
cognized the colored race and this Presi-
dent Hayes has done by appointing Fred
Douglas as Marshal of tas District of
Columbia, q most responsible position, at
salary OF ten or twelve thousand dollars
per year. This we call very fair recog-
milton Of both these elements and now We
tIust our Bourbons friends feel easier.

BY an earthquake, hurricanes, yellow fever,
weevil in the wheat, cut worms in the North
and cotton worms in the South, foods and
drouth., and 'yooniversale room and dis
aster," he believes they could elect the next
President. In conclusion he says: "Give
us all these, with q choice assortment Of
other disasters, and We shel win. for the
people will be very apt to say that after
all Dimekratic administration coodent be
wuss. We want room for while to make
the Dimocrisy epdoorable."

AN EDITOR BEATEN.

Swayze, editor of the Topeka Blade, was
met in the streets of Topeka, one evening last
week and, taken by surprise, was knocked
down and kicked and beaten up in a bad
way, by one ]. W. Wilson, formerly one of
the editors of the Topeka Times. The imme-
diate cause of the attack was an item in the
Blade stating that Wilson was now a gamb-
Ter and required to pay his fine as such. If
Wilson had been fined as a gambler, the fact
was a proper matter for publication as news.
The filming was an official transaction that
officially revealed criminal in his dangerous
character, and removed the veil of privacy
that every decent newspaper feels bound TO
respect with private citizens.
Some of Swayze,s newspaper and political
enemies have been chuckliup like villains
over his mishap, and they take special pains
TO parade the fact that no one offered To in
terfere and stop Wilson after he had felled
Swayze and was kicking him i'm the face, but
that the crowd instead cheered him on II
this is true the crowd probably consisted of
other gamblers and roughs, for no man of any
decency would be guilty of conduct 50 low.
Tho n.,a,, ,,hi., h.,. .x,r.ssa, tb.;r
qualification at this outrage, excuse their
brutal delight on the grounds that Swayze
pours forth his abuse upon those whom he
takes a dislike to or fails to blacISmail, and
that the character of no man or woman who
crosses his path is safe; but it is peculiarly
noticeable that these papers which now rush
out to applaud gambler and rough for
knocking down an editor who published the
fact, that he had been fined like Others OF his
class, generally have a reputation for moth
ing else but Matchmaking and slandering re-
gardiess Oh ruth' private character or any

We have spoken about AS freely in our dis
