HAYWARD's FICTION.

Col. J. L. X. Hayward is quoted as
saying:-"I do not think that the pro-
posed 81. Louis and Kansas City Short
Line road will ever be built. You see,
the read runs from ST. Louis to War
renton, and will doubtless run over the
Wabash. From there it runs 10 Lex
ington, and the indications are hat II
will run over Gould's line into Kansas
City. With both ends in Gould's peck
ct, no one bit Gould will fill the gap
and as the line will compete with one
he controls he will never do 90" Ii
Col. Hayward made this statement he
is a very dishonorable person, as it is
malicious fabrication, manufactured out
of whole cloth. The Short Line road
is organized as all independent road all
the way from St. Louis to Kansas City,
and is intended to run under Its own
management, from one city to the other,
on its W track. 1t expects to make
connections at st. Louis and Kansas
City with roads that are antagonistic to
Mr.. Gould's roads. 1t will be forty
miles shorter than either of Mr.. Gould's
roads, and much shorter than Mr..
Hayward's project. We have heard it
suggested that Mr.. Hayward is in Mr..
Gould's pay to prevent the building of
the Short Line, not to build his Illinois
railroad. We know nothing about that,
but if he Tells a few more whOppers
like the one attributed to him above, he
will prove himself capable OF almost
anything.

Mr.. q. j.. Walden continues to re-
ceive congratulations from his brethren
of the press upon his appointment as
postmaster at Fayette. And why not!
Mr.. Walden is a gentleman; he is thor
oughly competent, and he belongs to a
profession which is constantly in the
political harness. For other politicians
there is an occasional breathing spell;
they can let up in this canvass or that ;
but the editor mus: be in all of them.
If he tells the truth and steps on some
b0dy's corns there is a howl; if he
smothers up facts he is denounced as of
no account. Necessarily upon one side
of every public question, illiberal, mar
row, contracted minds, which tolerate
no difference in opinion, become en-
ragged with him, and the party editors
lot is not always q happy one. There
fore, we say again, why shouldn't the
editors congratulate their co-laborer
upon being remembered in the distrib-
ution of the little benefits that may be
derived from political life? And we
are sure they could not be better be-
slowed than upon MI. Walden.
