A RAILROAD TO THE SOUTH.
WEST,

When We speak Of railroads to the south.
west part Of the State We are not indulging
in fanciful dreams-we haven't the weried
mirage before our vision; in fact We are not
INDUCING in optical decisions.
The course Of the iron trail is westward
southwestward-snd the newest project is
one spoken Of BY the Topeka Commonwealth.
A couple Of weeks ago We spoke Of a railroad
striking Dodge City from !. northeast point,
and running thence southwest for New Mexico
and the Pacific coast The road mentioned
by the Commonwealth has this object in view.
Dodge City can be the divsrgins point, and
the point at which this road will cross into
the country southwest of us. The Common
roalh says:
Capt. johnson returned from Leaven-
worth, where he met Judge Aller and others
interested in the extension Of the Chicago,
Rock Island q Pacific Railroad 10 this place
ard southwest. Ii was determined to organ
lie the company at once. The chorter has
been drawn, and will be filed this week.
The prospect il that the c. & X. l. Com
pany will take hold of the matter and push
the road to completion this summer. This
IL an enterprise that is of more vital interest
TO our city than any other. Our people are
universally in favor of the extension, and
will do all in their power to further the pro-
ject. The road will pass through Jefferson
county, one of the richest in the State, and
pass entirely across Shawnee, through Wa
baansee county, by way Of Alma, and thence
on southwest, making vast and we'll settled
country tributary to our city. We shall
have more to say about this matter further
on"

Some herds of cattle have done damage to
the crops Of settlers in the south part of the
county. We understand that cattle drover
was informed that nothing could be done for
these acts of trespassing. Does any one de-
sire to bring conflict of interests !? Settlers
have rights that should be respected. We
believe cattle men do not intend to injure
settlers, but little more care should be used
in the driving of stock.

The capitalists Of the country are invest
ing largely in real estate. which has an up
ward tendency. Confidence has been restor-
ed and the financial problem is being solved
by the course of events in a practical turn.
We need rest, and the country will push on
with vigor, enterprise and prosperity. Mon
~ is no objec;. United States securities have
been converted into per cents, and now
comes the proposition to convert another in
debiedness into ptr cents. Thus We see
that public confidence has been restored to
the fullest extent; the people OF the United
States are holding the debts Of the country,
and we are entering an era of prosperity
never before known in the history of the
country. The clap trap politicians of the
country have done their work. New Issues
are sprineing up, which have absorbed the
money question, and better times have been
inaugurateI. When money finds real es-
tate investment it is q pretty sure sign Of
confidence and prosperity. There is no
further use of political theories on money
matters. They have been exhausttd-to no
good.

During the year 1878 the Atchisop, Tope-

PSI for the use OF cars belonging to other
Companies, to supply the deficiency in its
own rolling stock. A circular recently is
sued from the Boston Office Of the Company
says the investment of half that amount
would have supplied the rolling stock re-
quired. 1t Is now proposed to raise ',000,-
600 as an equipment fund, to be Used for
buying new rolling stock and erecting new

THE KANSAS IMMIGRANT.

Missouri can never expect the immigrant.
That State 10 blotch on civilization. II
offers no inducement to the thousands of
honorable and industrious citizens of the
East, who are seeking homes in the West.
The following extract is taken from the Sc
dalis (Mo.) Democrat. a newspaper of intense
hatred, jealousy and prescription. Read
what that morbid sheet says of the Kansas
immigrant:
go anywhere or at any time upon an
emigrant train on the Missouri railroad en-
route to Kansas. Ii smells like a charnel
house and swarms like the soldiers
shirts of regiment on raid. At best the
men are just above the animals the women
no better than the men. Kansas is their
natural home. Failing to secure such an
influx, it might have finally to fall back up.
on the Digger Indians. Such people could
not stop in Missouri. There lie no land for
them here. There is no land for them to
buy. Every acre is worth not less than SIS,
some $40, $40, $50, $50, and some as high
as 500.
What would such cattle as Kansas puts
cut 10 Craze annually do ON the clover re aches
and the blue grass uplands of Missouri. They
have to 20 where there is stolen territory,
and where the railroads which stole it have
TO work with them, feed them along, and
finally get from them the purchase money,
and in time an additional interest on the
way of freight and passenger traffic"

The Massachusetts Candidates.

The Republicans of Massachusetts are to
be congratulated upon the excellence of the
selections which they made for standard
bearers in the pending campaign. Hon.
John ID. Long, the nominee for governor,
was born in Maine In 1000, anu graduated
at Harvard. Studying law and gaining ad
mission to the bar, he became partner in
prominent legal firm in Boston. At that
time he was Democrat, but with views
that brought him to the side of Greeley and
finally into the Republican party. In 1875
he was member of the legislature and was
found to be man of such brilliant parts
that the next year found him in the speak
er's chair, in spite of only year in public
life. He gIaced that position for three
terms and was removed to take higher
seat-that of acknowledgements in which
office he is now serving. His career has been
onward and upward without a break, and is
remarkable instance of success in early
life. 1t is hardly matter of wonder that
many are charmed by it, 1t presages good
things for this falls campaign.
Byron Weston, the candidate for lieuten-
ant-governor, is six years the senior of Mr..
Long. His education was received at Viii
iston seminary. He never entered profess
sional life, but when the cause of the Union
was calling for supporters he did enter the
army and served in the Forty-ninth Massa
chusetts regiment as captain. At the close
of the war he engaged in the business of
paper manufacture and by his skill and en-
terprise has made his ledger paper known
the world over as the best in market. He
has held only one public office, that of sena-
tor from the northern Berkshire district in
1876. His success has been chiefly in a
business way, and it must be confessed is
hardly inferior to that of the chief whom he
seconds on the Republican ticket. Both of
those men are in the flower of their age, and
this fall will doubtless give General Butler
an illustration of the bottlng up process
such as he never dreamed of down in Ole
Virginny."

TAMMANY AND TILDEN.-The breach
among the New York Democracy is rapidly
widening, aud the fight promises to be ex-
ceedingly bitter as the canvass proceeds.
The Tammanyites seem to be bold, resolute,
and fierce, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of three of their prominent members, while
the anti-Tammanys predict that Tammany
will dwindle to a very small corporaPs
guard, before November. All the same, the
Tammauy Democrats seem to be extremely
active, forming Kelly Clubs" and prepar-
ing to take the field in great force on cleo
ton day. General Spinola offers to bet
heavily, in behalf of Tammany, that Rob
inson will be beaten by one hundred thou
sand majority against him." On the other
hand, Colonel Fellows offers to bet heavily
that Robinson will have twenty five thou
sand majority in New York city. 1t is
fierce quarrel, and the outside Democrats
regard it as calamity. 1t is true, as
claimed, that Governor Robinson has made
war upon the Tammany Democrats in New
York city, and true, doubtless, that he has
done so at the instigation of Mr.. Tilden,
who desires to have control of the city police
placed in the hands of his own particular
friends. John Kelly opposed him at st.
Louis, and he has resolved that John Kelly
shall be made as weak as possible in New
York politics. 1t is fight which cannot
help the Democratic party, nor discourage
the Republican party.

THE New CENSUS. Francis A.
Walker, superintendent of the census, has
issued circular giving instructions with
regard to enumerations, the points of which
are briefly as follows Enumerative districts
cannot exceed four thousand inhabits. The
month Of June only will be allowed for the
enumeration of districts, and in cities of
over ten thousand the census must be com.
pleted in two weeks from the first Mon
day in June, and the whole census must be
completed in four weeks The superntend-
ent for most districts will name "a certain
sum as the maximum for each inhabitant
enumerated, each death reported, each farm,
shop, ETC., returned. In other districts the
compensation will not exceed 81 per day of
ten hours east of the one hundredth merd-
ian, and 80 per day west of that line. Su-
perintendent Walker recommends the EN-
ployment of township assessors, postmasters
at small offices, country physicians and
schoolmasters, as such are familiar with
making out reports and can generally do
the work.

The Hope Of the South.

The New York journals contain the sub
stance of an interview with General Wood
ford since his return from attending the
trial of the murderers of Judge Chisholm
in Mississippi. The plain, Judicial, and
evidently reliable statements of such an
eyewitness as General Woodford, are justly
entitled to the highest consideration.
General Woodford SAYS the judge who
presided over the trial of Gully did his duty
fearlessly aud justly. He pays the same
tribute to the prosecuting officer. He further
believes that the jury list was fairly made
and the jury honestly drawn. The verdict
of acquittal which let the red-handed muir
derer go free was not due to any delinquency
in the prosecution or any perversiou of the
machinery of the court, but to the over
ruling fact that the controlling sentiment of
the section sustained the political assassins,
and that the jury shared and reflected this
feeling. The heart and head of the com
munity are wrong They do not tolerate
political opposition. The acquiesce in, If
ohcy w hoO Opvuiy Juo1iiy, 'ho io"icSo spun
which violently suppresses any independ-
ence The refusal to treat assassination as
murder or as any crime at all when it is EN-
ployed as political weapon and its victim
is a Republican or Democratic Independ.
ent, represents the master feeling of Mis-
sissippi.
Passing to the broader aspects of the
question, General Woodford thinks that the
great need and the only hope of the South
are division of the white vote. And he
finds that the chief obstacle TO that division
is the expectation of the politicians that a
solid South, aided by divided North, will
enable them to secure all the power and
patronage of the government. With united
South, the old confederates need only forty.
seven electoral votes in the North to capture
the presidency and gain unchecked control
New York has thirty-6ve of the number. If
these could be obtained, the remaining
twelve would easily follow. 1t is tremen-
dous stake for which the South is playing
The solid South is standing menace to
all national security. 1t will remain solid
just so long as there is any hope of divided
North. The way to break up a solid South
on the one side is to confront it with "A solid
North on the other.
