THE OPPOSITION.
The Proposed Route to Check
mate the Sedalia Northern.

Below will be found the Jefferson
City and Springfield scheme fer a
north and south connection. That
the plan is not only feasible, but
would prove of great advantage to
that section, none can doubt, and
were it properly carried out, and a
bridge over the Missouri constructed
at Jefferson City. Sedalia might give
up any hope of ever securing the
the state capital.
Sedalia, however, has the advaEt-
age of the energy and nerve to push
things, and that she will push her
proposed north and south extension
to completion, long before the sleepy
denizens of the catacombs can catch
on to the fact that this route is ne
cessity to them, is her advantage in
the race.
1t is however, idle for Sedalia's
people to shut their eyes to the fact
that her immense progress and bust
ness, push and success has aroused a
combination of cumulative competition,
which she must use her best and
speediest efforts to overcome, and if
she would save herself she must waste
no mere time, but at once proceed to
construct her northern and southern
connection.
For no matter how sleepy the city
of the hills may be. she can act if she
will, and she may in view of her pres
emit critical position be reused to dc
so. The Tribune of Sunday, says:
at has become known that the Chi
cago q Alton railroad company is anx.
iOus to extend a branch line into
Southern or Southwest Missouri the
subject has been the talk of the town
for several days. 1t only needs direci
communication with Jefferson City to
make up a GORDON of railroads around
our growing, prosperous and beautiful
city, and this must be had. No mat
ter how much Sedalia may kick, the
Warsaw extension will come here if il
is ever built, and we want but the
Jefferson City route to give us a Chi
cage outlet. st. Louis will be reached
by another line, via Cabool and Poto
81, probably within the next twelve
months, and what is essentially
needed is a Chicago outlet via our cap
ital city. With three lines of rall
