WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1879
UNEXPECTED AND AMAZING REBUFF OF THE
HOUSE TO ANTI-REsUMPTyoNIsTs AND GREEN
BACK DEMAGoGUEs.
Mr. Ewing and the greenbackers got fearful and
unexpected smash to-day in the House. The bill
to repeal the Resumption act which passed
by majority lacking only two of two-thirds
last session in the House lay in the Senate after
ward, and being amended by the Senate to make
it harmless and in fact by its friends
came back to the House and has been quietly lying
on the Speakers table To-day the House, in the
course of business, reached it, and Mr. Ewing who
appears to have kept his eyes on it. brought it
forward. with amendments. which gave it all the
worst features it had before. If it could pass
in the shape which he put it it would assuredly de-
stroy resumption. He was apparently confident that
he could at least more pass it through the
House. He Mr. Kelley and several others spoke for
it. General Garfield made very able and vigorous
protest against it, and the vote. to the amazement
and disgust Of the greenbackers, the bill beaten
by ITO to 141. The event is the subject of con-
versaton everywhere this evening, the vote shows
great and important changein the temper and
opinion of the House on the currency question. An
analysis of the vote shows that thirty
pubicans and three democrats have changed
from opposing to defending resumption since
last session. Ihs proves pretty well the
tendency of the two parties here on this question
The republicans have made up their minds that
1t is the true policy to defend resumption and
sound money. The word has been passed round
by the leaders, and the excellent discipline
of the party brings its members up to the mark
The democrats. with little discipline and poor leader
ship. have moreover. not made up their minds what
to do. Some of the Western democratic leaders are
now engaged in decker with the greenbackers for
. coalition and consolidation Of the two parties
platform of unlimited silver. destruction of the
tional banks and continued issues of greenbscks,
and it is this platform that the Western wing Of
the democratic party is not unlikely to go into the
next campaign.

It Won't Wash.

There comes the suggestion. urged by
some one upon the extreme confines of
the county, that il j. the intention of
the Wichita T. Western Railway Com
pany not to build further than this city.
Such an objection is 50 flimsy that it
would seem that an argument or even a
statement Of the facts would be unnec-
essary. The petition and proposition
fully answer. BY either it will be seen
that the company only receive $4,000
Of Sedgwick county bonds when the
roach reaches Wichita. If the tax-pay-
ers of Wichita could secure the building
Of the road for that amount and desired
its terminus here. they would vote $780,
600 themselves without asking cent
from the county. Whether il would be
to the interest of the city to hold The
terminus here il useless 10 discuss in
face of the fact that the company de-
sired the proposition 10 run across the
county, and were willing that $500 per
mile for the entire line might he with.
held until il had complied with the
proposition and built the entire distance.
The truth is, the proposition as il stands
provides for an absolute bonus of $780,

THEPROPOSITION SUBMITTED
A Suggestion or Two Touching
the Matter.

By reference to another column IL
will be seen that the Commissioners NJ
their meeting submitted TO the legal
electors of Scdgwick county, in accord
sncc with the prayer of the petition of
said voters. the proposition 10 subscribe
for stock and issue bonds therefor in
aid Of the construction of the Wichita
L. Western Railway. Nearly twenty
two hundred votsrs asked for the sub
mission Of the question and over thirty
petitions had not been returned.
With the extension of the \. I. II ;.
r. Railroad 10 the south line of the
county and the building of the ". x
W. TO Wichita. with extensions 10 the
west line Of the county, Scdgwick will
he supplied with railway facilities ell
jcyed by few counties in the state.
And that is not all. From a compli-
cation Of railway interests, explained at
length in our last issue. a critical period
has arrived in cur history Il, city and
county, in which false step. if made,
might never be recovered. With a
through independent line secured. we
will he in y position to demand and not
To be commanded. Every TAXPAYER in
the county understands that per force
of necessity there must he a metropolis
Of no mean pretcnsion, at some point in
The great Southwest. The county in
which such metropolis is located will he
the most prosperous and the lightcst
taxed of any other. Such a metropolis
will not only pay tide bulk of the taxes
Of the county in which il is situated.
but furnish the best markets and be- the
cheapest buying point. There Is no
reason why Wichita should not he that
point and that every farmer and every
land owner in Sedgwick county should
not reap the advantages thus cited. and
she will be, if her people--in city and
county alike-pull harnoniously togcih-
er. What helps Wichita helps Sedg-
wick county and vice versa. and what
