Atchison Champion: The general
verdict, in Topeka, about the Legislature
now in session, may be summed up
briefly as follows: The senate-an able
body, experienced and brainy; rather
amiable, and little lacking in the cour
age to stand by IFS own convictions.
The house-a few very strong, more
fairly capable, and many weak and Wis
ionary men; not lacking in purpose, but
destitute of experience; given 10 hob
bies, whims and sentiment, and lacking
in comprehensive grasp and ability to
deal Justly with many-sided questions.

The county Democracy of New York
held a rousing mass meeting on Friday
night, at which able addresses were de
livered by Colonel John W. Forney and
Hon. Samuel J. Randall of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Randall reviewed the record
of the Democrats in Congress upon re
trenchment, and dwelt upon the necessi
ty for the passage of the funding bill,
which Hayes vetoed. Il received, " said
Mr. Randall, "the original veto message
from his private messenger, and the
erasures and changes showed that the
veto had been written at least two days
before he received the bill" Continuing,
Mr., Randall said
thine has proved the accuracy of the
Democratic position at that time, and
we need to pass that bill again. Why,
in the name of God, should not young,
growing country like America equal in
credit Great Britain-a country which is
on the decline2 The quickest way to
enforce a frugal expenditure of public
money and return to the administra-
tive purity of the fathers of the republic
is to repeal all the laws imposing inter
nal taxes. 1t is a bold step, you may
say. but it is the best. Why should we
collect $500, 600, 900 when we only need
1925 900, 600, and hoard up the balance
in the Treasury? We have no right to
collect one dollar more from the people
than is necessary to run the govern
ment"

Calera to New Orleans.

The following from the New York
Banker and Broker explains, no doubt,
the origin of the rumOr recently current
of a combination between the Cole Seney
and Louisville and Nashville Railroad
systems. The Banker and Broker says;
President Cole. of the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia, has executed
his contract with the Louisville and
Nashville system by which the COle-Se-
ney system uses the lines of the Louis
vile and Nashville from Calera, Ala, to
New Orleans, !. e., the South and North,
Mobile and Montgomery and Mobile and
New Orleans roads. Col. Coles contract
enables him to use these lines for all
practical purposes as if they were his
own, and thus makes them part Of his
system without the cost of building
The contract seems equally good
for the Louisville and Nashville. for they
avoid a rival line and get the New Or
leans business of the Cole system pro
rata. We have already mentioned this
matter as showing the broad policy of
the leading railroad managers Of the
Southeast. None knew so wei: IS they
that their best interests all lie i i restOr-
ing, building and improving their roads,
and perfectIng their systems, and that
even their large resources will be
taxed for years to keep pace with
their territory. Both the L. 81 n. and
the East Tennessee, Virginia and GeOr-
gia are overcrowded with business, and
are building cars by the hundred AS
these conditions must remain as long as
the South grows, holders of the above
securities need fear no war of rates or
decrease in business. Colonel Cole says
that this contract has no reference to the
building of the Georgia connections of
his systems, which are being pushed
with such force as insures its completion
at the time stated"
