MEssRs. EDIroRs: Please give the
above advertisement prominent place
in your metropolitan daily. 1 am in
duced to start this opposition in the in
terest of the people, for the following
reasons: This heartless monopoly can
only be reached through their pockets,
and when they find my express patron
lied bv all the people to the serious Diet
riment of their exchequer, they may
come down from their stills, and act as
their charter intended they should, in
the interest of the people as well as
their own. Your paper has frequently
exhOrted our citizens to plant shade
trees for the identifying of the
city. Last year purchased nearly one
hundred dollars worth of trees in Law
renee, about six hours ride from here.
They were nicely packed in wet straw,
put on the cars at Lawrence in good or
der, and reached Emporia, about one
hundred miles distance, in exactly five
days after they left that place. The con-
sequence was that when they reached
me they were badly dried, and out Of
the quantity purchased about ten dollars
worth lived. This year, l have had
five different lots shipped from the
same city and in no instance have they
reached here under four days, and now,
at this present writing, I have some
choice evergreens and other trees some
where between here and Lawrence that
were put on the cars there last Saturday
morning, April 80. 1 have expended
over $500 for trees from there this year
and this is the way am served by this
obliging railroad company who are
constantly appealing to the people for
more bonds and extra privileges.
Slaveocracy was only abolished by the
people after long years of agitation and
bloody war. Let the railroad companies
take warning. That relic of barbarism
was never so aggressive, dictatorial and
tyrannical as are the present Shylocks of
the rail. Their time is surely coming
"Mene, meme, tekel upharsin" is being
engraved and riveted in the hearts of the

selves felt the better for them and their
children. WIZ. JAY.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

RECOGNIZING as a fact that life pris-
oners are VIGOROUSLY the hardest to
manage, for the reason that, however
well conducted and industrious they may
be, they have no clemency to expect, an
attempt is being made to amend the
penal code of California by having life
sentence commuted upon the life insur-
ance tables, and permitting the discharge
of prisoner after the term he was like
ly to live, when sentenced, has expired.
THE New York Herald's Washington
correspondent says Gen. MahOne's
course is regarded as honorable to him.
and wise for his State. 1t is bitterly
denounced by handful Of Virginia Re-
publican spoilsmen, whose effort has
been for years to keep the Republican
party in their State as small as possible
in order that each of these grumblers
might have as much patronage to divide
as possible. Gen. MahOne's position
breaks the solid Democracy of Virginia
and the solid South, and Senator
Hills abuse of Malone will help to do it

poses that the whole matter will be re-

THE PROBABLE GAIN

of population in the four southern tiers
of counties for the next 10 years will
not exceed One-fOurth of the gain Of the
whole state. Estimating the population
of 1890 at 100000, over 100000 of that
population will be north of the north
line of Ingham county. Michigan in the
next 10 years will probably pass Ken
lucky and Massachusetts in population,
and be passed in turn by Texas, making
her eighth in the rank of states instead of
ninth as now, with little probability of
ever rising above that point.
