THE CHICAGO & ALTON EXTENSION.

The friends of this enterprise are in
great suspense concerning the result of
the meeting which was to take place in
New York last week. having for its OBJ
iect 4 compromise between the Chicago
! Alton and the st. Louis. IL Kansas City
n Northern. The Chicago Tribune OF
last Saturday says. Nothing definite
has yet been learned OF the meeting be-
tween the committees of directors OF the
Chicago n Alton and 81. LOUIS. Kansas
City Il Northern. which was held in
New York OH Monday, in regard to all
arrangement by which the former road
could be prevailed upon to give up its
project OF extending its road from Mex
ico to Kansas City. and continue to use
the latter road tor its Kansas City busi-
ness. From the meagre reports thus
far received it may be safely stated.
however, that the Alton people turned Il
deaf ear to all the Establishments Of the
St Louis people. and they seem more
determined than ever To begin the con-
structiun of the new line next spling,
provided the necessary aid from the par
ties living along TIE projected road is
| obtained by that time. AS matters look
now. that aid will be forthcoming at
once. The consent to the construction
OF til" road "t a minority c! the stock
holders has already been obtained" We
are told by Il gentleman in Washington
township that he has received letter
ir"m Mr. Mitchell. in which that gentle
man tells him 10 keep Il working" :" e
Chicago Times. OF last Mouday, says.
concerning the difficulties between the
Chicago " Alton and the Louisiana Il
Missouri River railroads: "A meeting OF
the stockholders OF the Louisiana link
was heid i'll ST. Louis last Friday, to rat
lily the action OF the directors regarding
the proposed compromise. Judge Beck
with and William Cookbook represented
the Chicago Il Alton company at the
meeting Owing to the absence of two
or three Of the largest stockholders, an
adjournment was had until some time in
January. 1t is understood that Il major
lty OF the stockholders are in favor OF the
method OF settlement proposed. With
the gap between Mexico and Kansas
City filled by the contemplated link. the
Louisiana Il Missouri River track. from
Louisiana to Mexico. will become part
OF the Chicago l. Alton through line to
Kansas City. If the plan now under
consideration should succeed. rs it doubt
less will, the Chicago & Alton company
will have undisputed title to the old road
from Louisiana TO Mexico and jefferson
City So it will be seen that while the
st. L., X. c. II \. railway is fighting the
project in New York, the Chicago & AL
ton folks. not neglecting that point, are
arranging tor tull control OF their pro-
posed road. 1t will be understood that
they have perpetual lease on this Louis
lana link. As it IS called but il is desired
that ii shall be under the sole and abso-
lutte control OF the c. & A In another
column we print letter from an intel
ligent and influential citizen of the coun-
ty. asking Lexington to do something
in aid of this enterprise. We shall keep
4 lockout for any information regarding
the committee meeting in New York.

indianapolis Sentinel: The financial
Legislation by virtue Of which the coun-
try has been impov verishcd in spite of the
bouudless muniheence of the creatol
will not be overlooked. The people are
beginning to realize that n favored few
in Europe and America have had thing4
their way quite too long. Contracts
have been made with money kings and
then violated for their advantage and to
the injury OF the people; then others
mude and violated tor the same consid-
erations This system OF legislation has
been pushed to the furthest verge OF en-
durance. The resumption law was
passed in the interest OF capitalists and
in direct antagonism to the welfare CT
the country The ruin that has followed
overbalances the cost oil tn" war. and
now when three quarters OF the entire
population Of the country demand the
repeal of the law Hayes gives them dis
tinctly to understand that their wish will
not be respected. The decentralization
of silver was another blow struck III the
interest of bondholderS, and the people
demand the re-enactment OF the law as
il stood before the Swindle found place
upon the statute books OF the country.
The compaign will be warm aud ag-
greesiye from tbs start. In securing the
legislature the democrats will secure a
democratic United States senator Tor six
wears from March 4, 1880, and this fea-
tare of the campaign brings itup almost
to tho dignity OF that OF 1876. The
stake is OF the highest Importance, and
demands for success zeal, fidelity and
ability. These factors will be supplied,
but they will be powerful in proportion
RS ine organization OF the party is COM
pact and It's councils harmonious.
