ENPoRIA, Jan. Is, 1881.
EDITORS NEWS: regret that can
not regard this institution as at present
constructed through the rose colored
lenses OF its friends. The manner in
which i: originated and its history up to
this time has not been such as would
commend itself naturally to disinterest-
ed, thoughtful citizenship as being pure
ly pro bono publie0. l do not mean to
say that its personnel is not good, as far
as individual integrity is concerned, but
unfortunately its organization was per-
fected in rather quiet way. Its officers
and directors are largely the men,
bers of the supposed syndicate,
their personal friends and adhe-
rents, and by a curious coincidence
are divided almost equally between the
two monied corporations (yelept banks)
that have hitherto autagonized eacL 9TH
er, but are now pulling together for
their joint interests. The railroad COM
mlttee instead of being in the interest of
the city is composed almost and think
entirely OF the new construction COM
pany and its friends and one member
Ex-Governor Eskridge is out now advo-
eating the Ottawa & Emporia extension
upon the stump. 1t is a curious coalition
that can harmonic their interests, and
cause such men as Senator Plumb, H.
c. Cross, Judge Peyton. G. Y. Eskridge
and p. B. Maxson to work together. /
very much regret that the organization
of said board has been such as it is and
that its membership is being recruited
by means OF private circulars instead Of
q general invitation to the business
men Of the city, as such 3 course natur-
ally breeds suspicion on the part OF the
public generally that the organization is
in the interest of speculation and to fore
stall public opinion, an aid rather than q
hinderance to the schemes Of which ru-
NOR has spoken. do not forget that
there are men in the board whe are above
the suspicion of having axes to grind,
but fear that they viii be powerless to
prevent the accomplishment OF the pur-
pose OF those financially interested. I
hope I may be mistaken in my surmises
as much regret circumstances should
indicate any such state of affairs In this
