Ann Still, ANOTHER

New York Tribune: Still another
railroad to the Pacific is projected. The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee COM
pany, pushing its line in southwestern
direction and building with the aston
ishing rapidity that characterizes
the present system of railroad con
struction in the far west, has
almost reached the Mexican frontier.
It's motives in going so far beyond Santa
Fe was generally supposed to be to
make junction with the Southern Pa
cific and avail itself of that line for its
through business TO the coast. Now the
announcement is made of concession
by the. Mexican government for a line
through Sonora, which will be western
extension of the A, T. and S. F.,
and which, running around the head
of the Gulf of California and termina-
ting at San Diego. will give that COM
pany a road of its own all the way to
good harbor on the Pacific Ocean.
The first project for a southern line to
the Pacific made San Diego its western
terminus, but the San Francisco capital
lists changed the plan, and building
south from their city left the little sea-
port at one side to go to sleep again
after its brief and feVerish dream of

Chicago Inter-Ocean: The state
ment has been made that the
late decision of the supreme court of
Kansas, that certain acts of the legisla-
ture were invalid, because their passage
was obtained by the votes of four MEM
.bers of the house who were illegally
elected, involved the prohibitory,amend-
ment to the constitution Of that state,
and rendered it void. ]. C. Wells, in a
letter to the Indianapolis journal, dis
putes this, and submits the following:
1. The validity of the amendment IS
res adjudicata, and can not be brought
into question again. In the Weaver and
Mayes cases, the issue was distinctly
made that the amendment had not been
properly submitted to the people, and
the supreme court thereupon directly
affirmed the validity of the amendment.
And this is, of necessity. final.
2. AS matter of fact the submission
of the amendment was, in no sense, de-
pendent on the votes Of the four mem
bers who were illegally elected The
vote of the house was: 81 for. 81 against,
and 10 absent and not voting-so that,
counting out the four vacant seats, there
was a consent OF "two-thirds OF the
members elected" to the huhse-even if
the four had all voted in favor OF :he
submission. In that case there were 124
members elected, and SO votes in favor
of submission, which was just two
thirds -

Chicago Times: In the matter of the
delegate from Utah, the house of repre-
sentatiyeS has not manifested a senti-
ment OF profound respect for what, in
times past, has been described as the
sacred inviolability of the great seal of
sovereign state" True, it might be
said that Utah does not quite fulfill the
JcffersOnian notion of sovereign
state" that province NOT haying received
from the national authority permission
to change its local organization and be
represented in the national senate. But
this point was not made in support of
the assumption by the house of power to
inquire behind Governor Murray's GER
tificate concerning the election of the
Utah delegate. 1t was held, with great
unanimIty, on both sides of the cham
Der, that the prerogatiVe of the house to
judge and determine the election Of its
own members could not be concluded,
nor in any possible way limited, by any
great seal, nor by any certificate or other
official emission by any provincial gov
ernor. 1t is view on the subject which
excludes controversy and defies criti-
cism, and furnishes one of the most
practical proofs that there is no such
thing in America as sovereign state,
excepting the state called America.

A COUNTRY WITH A FUTURE

The Staked Plains of Texas hitherto
assumed to be sterile and worthless, have
suddenly doomed into vast importance.
A contributor to the Chicago Railway
Age writes as follows:
From Big Spring westward for 100
miles stretches out the great Llano ES-
facade, or Staked Plains OF our geogra-
phies, a supposed desert, treeless and
waterless. In point of fact, it is an ele-
waited rolling table land. Flsipg gradu-
ally toward its center, where IL altainS =
height of $500 TO 5000 feet above the
sea level. 1t has rich prairie soil, and
is covered with luxurious growth of
grass. The look out for water supply is
| not, at first sight, promising, there
being throughout all its extent
absolutely no running water, and
when the railway engineers reached this
portion of their work they were prepar-
ed TO encounter the dearth of water as
the chief difficulty they had to contend
with. This anticipation was dissipated
with the first well they sank, for an
abundance of water was struck at a dis
lance of forty feet below the surface.
Since then every well sunk has yielded
| the same result, and the division of the
road over the Staked Plains to-day has
the best water supply on the whole line.
| 1t seems that the whole country is hon
| eycombed with subterranean water
| courses, the wells reaching ii at a depth
varying from thirty feet TO little over
| fifty in one instance. The water is good,
soft and clear, and the wells all through
] the severe drouth of this tall have given
/ no sign of any failure in supply. So far
as observation has extended, it has shown
that the rainfall on the plains is quite as
heavy, if not heavier, than in eastern
Texas. l-
Another genuine surprise was in store
/ for us on the plains" Last June and
July, when the road was under con.
struction, the camps of graders and con-
structionl men were pitched ons- the
ground close 10 the right of Vay, and
in feeding their stock portions. of corn,
oats and barley had been split on the
ground. Ii had taken root in the cod
without having been planted, and as we
passed by there stood in patches,
along the right of way fully developed
oats and barley, and stalks Of corn
that measured at least four feet in
height, with full-sized ears upon them.
In short, it is q country that Is capable
of becoming the granary of the south
west, and at its elevation wheat cul-
4 ture will in all probability be very
successful. The plains are the range Of
immense herds of antelope and coca
sional buffalo, and marvellous stories
were told me of their racing trains, and
of shooting them from the cars, but We
were evidently not there on good day
for them, as We did not catch glimpse
of 0ither, and had to content ourselves
with the sight of an occasional coyote
and the ubiquitous prairie dogs.
The ''Staked PIains'' occupy an area
Of over 800 miles long, east and west,
and about 100 miles wide, north and
south, beginning near the 35th parallel
On the north They contain o0Oo
: square miles of territory. S

1t is said that Senator Malone has
prepared bill. which will be offered
in the Virginia legislature, for the set
Element of the state debt. The amount
of the debt, including interest, accord
ing to his figures, is $21,035.37 This
bill is based upon the presumption that
West Virginia should pay one-third OF
the total debt, and the same proportion
of interest. The whole question will
probably be disposed of soon. The
Bourbons talked much, but did nothing
which policy, If continued, would be re.
pudiation in fact. The present legisla'
lature will at least take some action
and 1t ought to be such as will strength
