There is rumor in railroad circles,
that the Wabash, st. Louis d Pacific
road has secured control of the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois. Whether by purchase
of majority of the stock, or through
a traffic agreement for term of years,
is a question. If this rumor be true it is

Gould syndicate, as it will give the Wa
bash a tirst-class road from Danville to
Chicago; also let's the Wabash into
Terre Haute and Evansville, gives them
a direct connection with the Louisville
d Nashville road; and also lets the Wa
bash into the Clay county coal fields,
and as well means close traffic alli-

w. roads.-hadiondpois Journal
We are convinced that it is necessary
to the development of our colored
brethren that they must join the Democ-
racy, and stand on the common foot
ing of manhood. TO continue to follow
the Republican car is to continue in
ignorance. Take the letter from Col
umbus in the last Republican,. When
Rev. GLADDEN. opened the Inau-
gural services with prayer, the cores
pondent says colored lady exclaimed
--"Lawd, see dat man ask de blessing
OBJ de Almighty fo' Democrats. Is de
democracy tryin' to get acquainted wild
de Lawd?'' The Republicans have been
persuading her that the Lord was some
body connected with the Freedmen's
Bureau, or the Star Route perhaps
Dorsey himself. Under the sheltering
wing of Democracy our colored brother
will gain knowledge which will better
his condition. Cddiz Sentinel.
