ministerial journals which have all
along been encouraging belief that
the home Government would lend its
aid to the Canadian Pacific Railway,
are beginning TO change their tune, ses-
ing that parlisment has adjourned with
out doing anything for them. They
charge the mother country with indit-
ference to their interests, and this is
coupled with new int'mstiOns that if
means can be got in use. it may be nee
essary to seek alliance with the United
States and let the mother country 90.

subscriptions to the Canadian Pacific

| The people of Kansas demand legislation to
protect them from cxtortion at the hands of rail
roads: lmt they slo not ask fur Legislation that
will hamper ar cripple the railroads. Kan.
sas is too deeply indebted {, railroads for heI
prosperity, to commence the work of breaking
them down; and maGy portions of the State
that have not yet secured railroad facilities, ara
not prepared to stop the work of railroad build-
ing in Kansas. The Riggs bill, the discussion
of which took mp large portion of the time Of
the House, last week, contains some good pro-
visions, and some bad ones. We believe its
passage was recommended in the Honse. Dong.
las County. which Mr.. Riggs represents, has suf-
fered much from railroad determinations and
bad fLith; bat this bill goes to an unreasonable
extrene.
This bill proposes that the State of Kansas
shall virtually take charge of aud run the rail-
roads Ut the State, leaving 10 the Companies
nothing to do but furnish the money to pay the
expenses. 1t places the roads at the mercy Of
spies and detectives. Three Railroad Commits
soners are to be appointed, at salary Of 5000
year each, "a greater sum than is paid to any
other officer in the State,) with Secretary at =
salary Of $500. They are to have the power to
Companies required to transport thess Off
GERS aud detectives at all times, to any point
to which they may have occasion to travel.
These Commissioners have the power to over.
haul the books and the business Of the railroads
at any time; to cite their officers and employees
to appear and answer questions; to prosec ute
them for misdemeanors reported by the detec-
tivcs; and TO fix and regulate the rates for
freight and passengers, at any time they may feel
like it. These Commissioners IN ~ be appointed
aud removed by the Governor, at will. If til,
Executive officer is prejudiced against Railroads,
lie may appoint Commissioners who will Cypress
and cripple them. If he is "on the Make" he
may accept fee from the Railroads, aud appoint
Commissioners who will do their bidding, and
enable them to Cypress the people. vast
amount of power for mischief is contained in
this bill, and there are a multitude of reasons
why it should not become law.
Since the above was written, the bill has been
defeated in the House.
