RAILROAD RACKET.

The six miles of road between Ls.
clede, Linn county, and Stanley City,
Charlton county, on the Burlington
and Southwestern line, will be in com.
plete running order by the close of
October.
Speaking Of the projected road
from q point on the Chicago aud
Alton road TO Fort Scott, the Monitor
of that city says: 1.-The enterprise is
a revival of the old Lexington, Lake
and Gulf road, which is practically,
an extension of the Chicago and Alton
from some point on the line west Of
Higginsyille to Fort Scott; thence
southwest. Without making any idle
or vain boasts, we can honestly say
to our readers that the prospect Of an
early building of the road are very
aattering. The present company will
go to work actively at once, aud hope
ere long to show to every doubling
Thomas, should there be any, that
another railroad link is to connect
Fort Scott with the outside world.
Charters have been secured for both
this road and the Chicago, Fort Scott
and Oklahoma railroad, and every
thing indicates that the projectors
will be able to carry out their plans"
Bates County Democrat: t:-''Butler
Is bound to secure the G. B. & @. 1t
will be remembered that a charter
was'secured few months ago, and a
point at or near Lexington was men,
toned in said charter, also to point
in south Missouri. Well since then,
the company has gone to work and
is pushing ahead quietly on the route
mapped cut by the charter. The road
is coming before another year."
Bates County Democrat :-"From
papers north of the river, it will be
seen that the g. B. & @. r. R. is
pushing the old B. & s. w. in the di-
rection of Lexington. The company
is not making any blow, but it has
large force Of hands at work. When
it reaches Lexington, of which there
is scarcely question, it will not fail
to utilize the old road-bed, which
runs to this place."

AN OPERAT1C CALAMITY.

A Paris paper relates q strange ad.
venture which happened lately to one
of the most famous lyric artists of the
present day. Not to hurt his feelings,
instead OF designating him by his real
name, we shall call HIM Florldor.
Looked at from plastic point OF view
he IS indisputably the king OF baritones;
no one dresses better, and no one ap-
pears to greater advantage under the
cloak of Don Juan or the doublet OF
Mephsstspheles The latter part. every.
body declares. fits him like a glove.
When he is fully dressed for it, with his
turned-up moustachio, his diabohcaliY
elevated eyebrows. bis large sword at
his side, and his whole person crimson
from head to foot, he looks as though
carved ont OF q glowing coal. Atew
days since he was asked to sing his cell
ebrated part at Anglers. OF course. he
accepted the offer, and setting off IN
the evening, arrived the next day. 1t
was not till 2 p. NJ, that he made up his
mind to go to the theater. Having scarce
ly halt au hour to "make up" and dress,
he fastened his sword-belt without due
precaution, so that it got hooked to the
waistband of his feshings.< sit is your
turn M. Floridor. cried the manager.
The artist dived beneath the stage
buttoning his gloves as he went along.

himself upon the latter. in position at
once elegant and diabolical, with one
hand on his sword hilt, but he pressed so
heavily as to make his weapon hang al
most horizontally. "A me, Satan,
mel" exclaimed Faust on the stage,
and up went the trap rapidly, too rap
idly, alas !-the opening was so narrow
that the ends of the sword we're caught
by the boards, while Floridor received
sharp rap on his fingers. But this was
nothing to what followed. While the
sword remained under the stage Ne.
OF course, continued to
ascend. The belt was torn away and
remained with the sword, carrying with
it the waistband of the feshings, to
which, as already stated, it had been
fastened. The feshings were turned
inside out, like rabbits skin, and
Floridor appeared in costume that need
not be described before 1900 persons he
did not know, while, to improve matters,
to foot and cast gigantic shadow of
him on the scene at the back. A tre-
outburst Of laughter, varied by
cries of horror, broke forth from all
parts of the house, and while Faust was
hastily wrapping the unfortunate demon
in the folds of his Doctors gown, the
curtain was let down. 1t was impossi-
BILE to continue the opsra, and Fioridor
returned to his hotel. He has not been
heard of at Angers since.

DON'T FORGET KANSAS AND MN

.The three sbanner' democratic
states of the southwest-Missouri,

inst now in the pursuit of outlaws.

No QUE willmistake the einsinuatlon
intended in this paragraph, and it is
fair example OF political warfare as
practiced by the republican party.
Republican papers all over the coun-
try follow the same tactics to more
or less extent, but this kind of parti-
san incendiarism reaches its EXTREMIST
devefopment here in Missouri. Start
ing with this stalwart organ in st.
LOUIS there is hardly republican
paper in the state Of Missouri that
will stickle at any lie, however uu-
founded, that promises party capl-
tai, even if it threatens irretrievable
damage to the state. If Missouri.
Arkansas and Kentucky are engaged
in the pursuit of outlaws, 1t is surely
no crime. II crime there is in the
pursuit, we should like to know what
name must be given to the greater
dereliction of Minnnesota and Kansas,
which have also been engaged for the
past week in the pursuit Of outlaws
and have abandoned the pursuit
without making any captures. Is
Missouri to be held to a more severe
accountability / for the Winston
train robbery than Kansas for
the attempted train robbery at Law
rence7 The Kansas outlaws made
less of q sensation only because an
emigrant train 'sprang their trap,
when it was set to catch the regular
passenger train. Yet it is notorious
that little or no effort was made by
the Kansas authorities to follow up
and capture their outlaws. The gov
ernor of Kansas has not thought 1t
necessary to take any interest what
ever in the affair. much less to insti-
tute such vigorous measures for the
capture of train robbers as Gov. Crit
tenden has set in operati N in Mis-
souri,. If Kansas was ruled by dem
ocrats, the indifference of its govern
ar would be nagnified a thousand
fold and the story ofhis incompetence
and mismanagement form the text
for political homilies in every re-
publican paper in the laud. With
the same unblushing Inconsistency
these republican critics denounce
Arkansas for the murders committed
there, when the whole state of repub-
lican Minnesota has proved unable to
capture one little band of murderers,
and the hunt has been given up.
When Missouri aud Arkansas are
basted for these things, we insist on
some of the same sauce going to
Kansas and Minneseta.

Under Grant the rule of simplicity
and economy was abandoned, and
pomp, with: extravagance. became
the fashion in every branch of the
government. The plain methods of
his predecessors we're rejected as un-
worthy the dignity" of an adminis-
tration controlled by rings. The
country has been made familiar
with the reckless expenditures and
the disgraceful robberies Of the treas
ury that were common from 1869 to
1877, and which were continued a.
far as possible under Hayes.
A democratic house of representa-
tives curbed these excesses materials
ly, and compelled large retrench-
ment in the public expenses at the
close of Grants second term. But it
was not able, even with the aid of
the senate, when the democrats OBJ
tanned q majority of that body, to
stop enormous pIundef in q new
direction by the manipulation of the
national debt, through which i'm
mense fortunes were acquired by the
treasury ring. Nor could both com.
bined prevent the open prostitution
OF effice and other patronage as re-
wards for the forgers, perjurers, and
thieves who, under the personal
direction of john Sherman, did the
work Of the great fraud in 1876.

priations, and then q fxir idea Of the

YOUNG MR.. GOULD.
The Beginning of a Wall Street
Career that is Likely to be
Watched with In.
terest.
From the New York SUM-

Among the defendants in the first
suit arising from the corner IN Han
nibal and st. Joseph common stock is
George j. Gould. He is sued az a
member Of the firm of w. E. Counor
81 Co., brokers for Hopkins, who is
short of 500 shares of the cornered
stock. His position as defendant is
noteworthy because he is the oldest
son of Mr.. Jay Gould, and because
he is probably the youngest man who
has ever been party to a transaction
of the magnitude of the Hannibal aud
st. Joseph corner. His connection
with it, however, is to large extent
purely accidental, as his position in
the street was not defined until two
weeks ago, and after the coruering
pool had got we'll about its business.
At that time he became q member of
the firm of w. E.. Connor & Co., and
as such became broker for Mr.. Hop
kins, whose account had previously
been given to member of the firm.
Young Mr.. Gould is undoubtedly
the youngest man who has, or has
had for many years, a recognized
position in the street. He had barely
attained his majority when his father
made him partner in firm of which
the other members were his own con-
fidential broker, W. E. Connor, and
his private secretary, Il. F. Morosini.
Mr.. DAY Gould contributed to the
capital of the firm, in behalf of his
son. the sum of $500, 900. The capital
invested by the other partners is not
stated, but from their position and
the fortunes 1t is presumed they have
accumulated by their connection with
Mr.. Gould, it is estimated that they
contributed about $3.50, 900 each; max
ing the capital of the firm 81 ,OOO, 900.
This is an unusual capital for a sim.
pie brokerage house, in which MEM
bership In the Stock Exchange and
the attendant credit supply to grea,
extent the capital that would be re-
quired in ordinary commercial busi-
ness. 1t is understood that the new
lrm does not intend to transact a
general business-that is, to take &C.
counts as commission firms do-but
that its business will be confined to
orders from Mr.. Gould.
In spite of the exclusive business
which the firm will do, the iunior
partner, Mr.. George j. Gould, is a
person in whom the street naturally
takes a very considerable interest.
The street knows little of him, but
believes thatit is likely to know much.
In personal appearance he is prepos-
sessing, hardly more than a boy in
looks, yet more than boy in bust
ness. He is of about the average
height, slender, yet muscular. His
complexion is swarthy, his hair and
promising moustache are black, and
his eyes, like his fathers, are dark
and penetrating. Like his father, he
is quiet and reticent; but in the COM
pany of his friends he is full of life
and boyish spirits. He has been edu-
Gated privately and thoroughly, aud,
as TO business experience, has travel
led extensively with his father both
through this country and abroad, and
has spent the last two years in his
fathers Office.

1t is thus seen that the aggregate
for furniture and repairs under Grant
and Hayes was four times greater than
it should have been. Also, that the
appropriation for furniture. instead
OF being quadrennial, was made an
nually. During eight years the no.
torious Babcock handled this money,
and that fact tells the story, in con.
nection with the other fact that Boss
Shepherd was the man of "repairs."
That these appropriations were
not expended according to law is
capable of proof if a proper and stern
investigation should be ordered.
Everybod familiar with the white
house knows that no such amount OF
furniture was put into it during the
last twelve years. Confederates of
Babcock may have given vouchers
for furniture, but they never deliver
ed it.
Recurring to the statement from
Washington that large part of the
furniture had not been changed sin
ten years." the question will natur-
ally be asked, what became of this
three hundred. thousand dollars !?
The ready answer is that great por.
ton of it was stolen outright, and the
accounts were passed by accommo-
dating Auditors of the treasury,
just a. those of Howgate were, with
promptitude and without challenge,
Power has the faculty of overcom-
ing scrutiny at Washington. Hayes
drew his salary month in advance
Tor long time, and when q mild
suggestion was made that this course
was unusual, he changed the practice
from the 1st to the 18th of the month,
still in advance, and when not dime
had been earned for the long or the
short period. He knew that the
treasury officials committed felony
IN every instance by passing an &C.
count for money not due. But as a
thrifty patriot he wanted to pocket
the interest on his salary, which was
Immediately invested, and he com:
msnded silence on the part of the en-
forced subordinates by the reserved
penalty Of removal in case they dared
TO speak of his criminal and despica.
BILE avarice.
After all these liberal appropria-
tions, for which congress deserves
blame, when Gen. Garfield entered
the white house on the 4th of March,
no could not find ordinary table
equipment for the use of his family,
aud he was obliged to buy immedi.
ately dinner and breakfast sets of
china, and to order supplies of linen.
In the graphic language of member
Of the family, there was not ga napkin
