Mr. johnson, the new city marshal, has
established a claim to the gratitude of our
citizens and the travelling public which
he can only forfeit by becoming weary
of the good work so auspiciously begun
at the Santa Fe depot, in checking the
intolerable nuisance growing out of the
noisy importantly of apple boys and no.
tel runners who, upon the arrival OF
trains, have been accustomed to con-
verting the platform running along the
track into g literal Pandemonium, by
letting loose their yawIs upon the unof-
tending passengers passing through or
stopping at this point. We trust Mr..
johnson viii prosecute the reform so
well begun, to the end that travelling
men may alIght from the cars at Empo-
ria without being harrassed by the sus'
picion that Providence has visited the
town with a confusion Of tongues that
dwarfs the historic racket of ancient
Babel
With a new hotel which is not rivaled
anywhere in the state; with railroad
eOnnection-on paper-with the Rich
Hill coal fields of Missouri; with an il
Eliminating corporation organized on a
duplex plan which contemplates both
gas and electricity; with mud in the
streets and blue grass springing in the
yards; with CITY N lrshal who has in
augurated determined crusade against
the internal din Of apple vendors and
hotel runners at the Santa Fe depot;
with city council with an alleged hos
tility to COWS; with three new church
edifices in process Of germination; with
side walks that do not result in the frac-
ture of more than one limb per week
and with the "New Great Pacific Cir
cus'' billed for an appearance in this
city on the 10th of May, We fail to see
why EmpOria should not be supremely
happy, and excite the consuming envy
of every town in the state from Leaven
worth down to Arkansas City.
