first place and erding in aimless fashion
not far from Wichita, ksusaz, place
reached by a little branch of the Atchisop,
Topeka d Santa Fe, the latter has bsgsed
a transcontinentsl right Of way along the
Ssh parallel and the largest land grant
left. The So. Louis & San FTancisco by
foreclosure holds the Atlantic 4 Pacific
franchise for Pacific road, under sn act
passed July q, 1866, granting Il, COO, 600
acres Of public land, provided line wss
built from some point near southeastern
kansas wet IN the Pacific, at or near Los
An2eles, Col before July 4, 1873. About l25
miles have been built under this charter and
a little over 500, 900 acres Of the grant have
been taken up according to the lsst report
accessible. The rest, under the peculiar
decisions Of the Supreme Court in what is
called amorg Western lard lawyers the
Wisconsin case. remaics tied up. No set
tier can buy ii, the Government Land Office
cannot touch it; but till Congress declares
the grant resCinded, or the CGited States
begins a suit 10 vacate the charter Ito quote
the language OF the sdecision, till faction
has be- n taken either by legislation or ju-
| diciai proceedings to enforce a forfeiture Of
| the estate Rranted"l the title remains un-
| impaired In the grantee, and the rosd has
| only 10 BE- built TO make claim 10 the
lands granted good. The So parallel
route, az this line is called, runs through a
re ion which many experts in 1865 held
offered better line than the Union Pacific,
OF which it ia the direct and natural COM
/ petitor. No snow sheds are needed, the
country i, better wooded, the rich fields Of
Syuthern Utah are tapped, and a mineral
region, believed to be rich, crossed in Cali
fornia, to say nothing of Colorado. The
report runs that the line ia to be bull. 10
two years. IL will prove highly profitable
to the region through which it passes
Thus the atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
proposes TO reach the Pacific OCEAN over
three routes, over the existing Southern
Pacific, over new line through Mexico,
ard over the 35lh parallel route. This il
the Boston scheme, which proposes to be
the fret to tap the international raiirad
traftic with Mexico.

VICE on THE STAGE
A Com oiimcnt TO the Times for

A Compliment TO the Times fer

EDITOR TINES: That Christian charity
which hopelh and endureth all things, is
in danger OF embracing vice; and the ten
dency Of our social lie is towards the
French stsl d ,Td, where beauty is an apol-
ogy for all el-', and where the boundary
line bet ~een vice and virtue is oyergrown
BY the rel roses Ct rio.ous luxury. The
press h,- long -ince mastered the pulpit;
and human nature cal no more resist type,
than il can the bullet. Madam Grundy' .
whirpers are sigBed and witnessed, and the
public stands defendant 10 q libel suit, like
the one now on hand between Patti and
the newspapers.

younger days she lacked faithful mentor

Of being forever victimized by successful

ought now to stand by THE TINES In iis
effort TO rid Us OF the incubus of Imposi-

pace of announcement. Lsavenworth il

see through p.ste and tinsel; and should
rise above conventionslities and speak for

based upon nature and good sense, despite
the mad freaks of Turner and Wagner; We
Kansans have As good right TO opinions
as Bostonials, and We should now glory in
the courage which has exposed Falti,
who has for years been regarded with dis-
gust by fret clsss society. But no,
only should theatre gers but the
Christian world sympathize in an effort to
tear the esudy traPpings OF the stage from
vice, and revesl its hiGeous mein. Roy atty
is privileged to transgress ali the Mosaic
laws with impunity; the mimic kings ard

prerogative, and how can We wonder at the
anathemss Of the pulpit, while We sp-

WENDELs PHILLIPS ON TIKI.
POWER OF THE PEEsS.

Wendell Phillips lectured at S.einway
Hall, New York, LAST Thursday evening,
on "The Press, its power for good and Tor
evil" and from the EeralGs report We take
the following extract:

Gus days: 81 never dare contradict Jour
