Rev. A. b. Campbell 10 now a lawyer,
with the privilege Of practicing before the
supreme court. He will no longer do pull
pit work. though he may make temperance
speeches from the church platform.
1t now appears that station agents have
never been instructed to withhold schedule
Of rates and classification from shippers.
While furnished for their information, they
have generally been subjected to examina
ton by men who had anything to ship. In
several places agents have assumed the re.
sponsibility Of refusing this privilege.
An important decision by the railroad
commissioners, relating to freight rules. may
be looked for in about two weeks. 1t will
be Of much more consequence to the people
at large than any thing that has come from
this source since the new law was enacted.

the SITUATION.

We made the statement some weeks age
that the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe com
pany contemplated the purchase OF the St.
Louis a. San Francisco, and at the 18th oil
May meeting q movement in that direction
might possibly be set on foot. We are well
aware that the Santa Fe could have pur.
chased the San Francisco, some months
ago, at fair price, and argued then that II
was the thing for the Santa Fe to do. The
Boston Herald, OF the eth inst, very high
authority on Santa Fe railroad matters, has
this to say concerning this contemplated
purchase
1t is learned on good authority that the
st. Louis 4 San Francisco road Is earning
better than Z per cent. on both classes OF
preferred stock, and that, a. soon a. the
Atlantic a. PaciH company ceases to be a
charge aud repays the loan OF $1,000, 900
from this company, dividend on the Sec
ond preferred is likely to be declared.
There seems to be nothing more In the talk
Of the Atchison company buying this road
than the belief in certain quarters that the
Atchison ought to have it. There 10 rea-
son TO suppose that the control Of the
property could be had at short notice for =
price, but It would not be the price 1t
which il could be once had, when many
people say it ought to have been bought.
The Santa Fee must either ''hedge" or
buy, and in our Judgment it 10 cheaper to
buy. The Santa Fe must obtain absolute
control OF the Atlantic & Paci6c road. De-
lays are not only dangerous, but in this in
stance are likely to prove costiy.-Com@on-

WnAI II Is MERE FOR.

The New York Tribune most cleverly an.
swers the Louisville Courier-JournaPs en-.
quiries: "What is the Democratic party
here for, except to reform the tariff"
Well, we can think Of half dozen things
that II is here for that have nothing what.
ever to co with the tariff.
1t is here to give the Republican party
something to defeat every four years.
1t is here to excite envy in the breast Of
every American humorist as it discourses
of Capitalization, as II it were really
mentioning something.
1t is here to give a striking illustration
of insane unfairness and cowardice by
sneering "fraud'' at an electoral commiss-
ion which it helped to form and by whose
decision 1t agreed to abide.
1t 10 here to show how long q party that
is clean out Of principles and whose record
cannot be safely handled without first be-
ing deodorized, can keep above ground
simply by force of momentum.
1t is here to determine whether, being
hopelessly divided against itself ON the free
trade issue, it can be glued together In 1884
by platform committee.
1t is here as the most notable political
shocking example known to history.
II is here to sit up nights, supplicating
the smiling people TO make change for
the sake OF change.

FOR GOVERNOR OF ONO.

Joseph b. Foraker, the Republican nom-
inee for governor, was born In Highland
county, Ohio, July 9Th, 1916. He worked
on II farm during his boyhood. On July
18th, 1862, he enlisted as private in CON-
pany A. Eighty-ninth Ohio Infantry, and
be served in the field with the Third Divis-
ion OF the Fourteenth Army Corps, Army
Of the Cumberland, until the close OF the
rebellion. He was breveted captain "for
efficient services during the recent cam
paigns in Georgia and South Carolina, to
date from March 18th, 1865" When he
was mustered out with his regiment at
Camp Dennison, June 18th, 1865, he was
serving rs aide-de-camp on the staff Of
General SlOcum.
In fact, Captain Foraker passed through
all the service of the Army Of the Cumber-
land, excepting the battle of Chickamausa,
during which engagement he was on de-
tached service, and with General Slocum
he participated in Sherman's march TO the
sea.
The war being ended, the gallant young
citizen.>oldier entered Salem Academy,
Ross county, Ohio. In the fall OF 1866 he
entered OHIO Wesleyan University at Del
aware, Ohio, as 4 freshman. He remained
there two years, when he entered Cornell
University, Ithaca, n. Y, and In 1869 he
graduated in the fret class. In the fall Of
the same year he was admitted to practice
at the Hamilton County Bar. In April,
1879, he was elected TO the Superior Court
Of Cincinnati, defeating the-then incum.
bent, the Hon. Alfred Yaple. After being
on the bench for three years he resigned
on account Of ill.health. He has, however,
long since recovered, and he is now enjoy.
ing perfect health. In 1870 Captain Fora.
ker married Miss Julia p. Bundy, M. l.. A.

TINE RAILROADS OF KANSAS.

We are indebted to State Auditor Net abe,
Secretary of the State board Of railroad
commissioners, for pamphlet copy Of the
annual report Of the board, for the year
1883. Its several schedules embrace the
valuation Of the rolling stock Of Kansas
roads; the assessed value, per mile, Of right
Of way, main and side tracks, telegraph
lines, depots, etc.; the distribution Of rail-
road property to the several counties; q
summary Of all railroad property in the
State; and list Of officers reporting to the
board. Some OF the figures have already
been published, but we summarize, below,
some facts Of general interest.
Forty-eight different railroad corpora
tons are assessed for right of way, but only
twenty-seven for rolling-stock. This diff.
ference is accounted for by the fact that .
number OF railroads are leased by other
companies, the lessee furnishing the rolling
stock for their operation.
There are 3,s70.29 miles OF main track,
and 444.05 miles of side track in the State
q total OF 4,3l5.26 miles. The main track is
assessed at from 1850 to 5000 per mile,
the highest assessment being that Of the
Atchison section OF the Missouri Pacific,
and the lowest the Manhattan 3 Blue Val.
ley. The average is s5, 1913 per mile, max
ing total of s2o,O99.176. All side tracks
are assessed at the same fgures-e2, 900 per
mile, making total Of $s97, 40. There are
3,S6l.C6 miles Of telegraph-enough to cross
the State, from east to west, nine and half
times-and it is assessed at go per mile,
making total Of s2s0, 274.20. Railroad
buildings are valued at ss55, $50, the only
one assessed separately being the union de.
pot in this city, valued at ss3,5OO. The to-
tai value Of rolling stock il s4,469, 707.67 ;
and Of tools, material, etc., e693, 337.04. The
total value Of all the railway property OF
the State is s21, 2so, 2l9 81, and the average
value per mile OF all railroad property IL
8, 0s6.82. The increase In the taxable val
ue OF railway property, over 1882, is -, 49,, ).

Of which 90, 3Os, 900 was held by the trus-

tion purposes, 90 aO0,Oo0 is reserved to be

outstanding, and the remaining $500, 900,
with the exception Of few sharcs, is in
the treasury, but as the property Of the
Atchison and Frisco companies. The
$50, 000, 900 sold Is borrowed from the trus.
tees as stated above, but their control Of
the property is not impaired, as they still
have majority by holding $3i 300, 900, or,

An UNPR0PITI0US SIGN.

The newspapers Of the country, OF al
parties, 10 discussing the chances Of vari
Gus persons for the national nomination fol
President, seem TO talk only OF this or thai
Democrat, and the probable action Of the
democratic convention. From 1861 to 1880

can't be that we lack leaders OF record and

TINE NATIONS DEBT.

The reduction Of the national debt In
the eleven months ending on Thursday last
amounted to Sll5, rs 900, and the surplus
for the entire year will probably not exceed
Sls0, 100000, sum slightly in excess Of
Secretary Folger's original estimate, which
has been affected by legislation and the
varying demands Ofthe pension Office. The
receipts for the present fiscal year have
been nearly equal thus far to those OF the
last year, except in the Customs division,
where the decrease is already about &c.,
100000. The standard silver dollars are
rapidly accommodating in the treasury.
There were coined %, 80, 900 Of these dol.
lars in the month Of Nay, but more than
that number were added in the same time

where nearly 100000, 900 OF these rejected
